Xiao Yi adjusted himself in his seat and said, "Speak."
Doctor Chen responded, "At first, I approached several fruit vendors to ask about this, but none of them could identify the fruit. I then thought that this seed might not belong to a common fruit, which is why the regular vendors were unaware. Later, I had a sudden inspiration and consulted a familiar Imperial Chef. He confidently identified it as a lychee pit. Every year in May and June, the southern provinces supply lychees to the palace, and the people in the Imperial Kitchen often cook with them."
It was indeed a lychee pit!
Xu Jing frowned slightly and asked, "Did the Imperial Chef mention where else in the Western Capital one might find lychees apart from the palace?"
