Chapter 22 Hidden Wealth

Xiang Yini looked at her for a while, showed a faint smile, and said: "After tonight, everything will be calm."

Huan Pei rolled her eyes, and immediately understood, her face finally turned happy, and she said: "Miss, you are right."

Seeing the carriage go away, Hua Yuejin stamped her feet angrily and cursed: "You are so kind! You deserve to end up like that! You will definitely die a worse death this time!"

"Bold! Who dares to curse my sister!"

Hua Yuejin was startled when she heard the sound. She looked up and saw a girl in emerald green clothes walking out with her skirt in hand.

The guard immediately lowered his head when he saw it: "Second Miss."

The second young lady of Xiang Hou Mansion, Xiang Yinli... Hua Yuejin rolled her eyes. She had been studying in the Imperial College, but she was rarely seen on weekdays.

She knew very little about her, except that she was imprisoned in Dali Temple and executed with a stick for poisoning Chu Jiaoxing.

Seeing her walking towards him with a serious expression, Hua Yuejin clenched her fists in confusion.

Xiang Yinli walked to her and stopped, saying: "Miss Hua Er, my sister doesn't want to see you, please go back."

Just as Hua Yuejin was about to speak, Xiang Yinli pushed her hand and quickly put a small piece of paper into her hand.

She rolled her eyes, held the note tightly, and whispered, "Sorry for disturbing you."

After saying that, she turned around and left quickly, walked into a deserted corner, unfolded the letter, glanced at it briefly, and then laughed out loud: "Chu Jiaoli, I didn't expect you to die so quickly this time.

"

The setting sun falls, leaving behind a moment of red clouds, birds return to their nests, and smoke rises from the kitchen stoves. Just a moment later, night has fallen and the stars are dotted.

In the bedroom, Chu Jiaoli played with the ivory beads given by Concubine Ling for a while.

Zi Lin stepped forward and looked at it for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Wow! Sister Jiaoli, this is such a good thing! It's worth a lot of money!"

Chu Jiaoli paused, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "How much is it worth?"

"Hmm..." Zi Lin thought for a while and said, "It's probably fifty taels at least."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli rolled her eyes.

If she pleases Concubine Ling, she will definitely be rewarded. She can leave the palace as long as she pawns these treasures outside the palace.

After thinking about this, she arranged the ivory beads neatly and put them in the jewelry box on the bedside. She looked around and saw that she and Zi Lin were the only ones left in the room.

She exhaled softly and said, "Zilin, promise me not to tell anyone that I have this thing."

Zi Lin nodded, lowered his voice and said, "Of course, if such a good treasure is seen by two villains like Liusu and Lianrong, they will definitely come and steal it."

Chu Jiaoli nodded and said: "Thank you, I will not treat you badly when I redeem myself and leave the palace."

Hearing this, Zi Lin looked extremely surprised: "Do you want to leave?"

Chu Jiaoli recalled all the unpleasantness she had with Beigong Tengxiao, and couldn't help but lower her eyes and said, "Well, I'll leave when I save a hundred taels."

Hearing this, Zi Lin hesitated to speak.

Chu Jiaoli raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What's wrong?"

Zi Lin said with some embarrassment: "Um...Sister Jiaoli, it's already dark. You should take a shower and change clothes, and go...go to bed..."

Chu Jiaoli nodded and said, "I understand."

She really couldn't see through the girl in front of her. Since she was thinking of leaving, how could she accept such a thing?

How can I get married after this...

Half an hour later.

Chu Jiaoli stood in front of Beigong Tengxiao's bedroom, raised her hand to open the door, hesitated for a moment, and then gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Chu Jiaoli slowly pushed the door open, stepped into the house, turned around and closed the door.

The room was lit and it was bright. Beigong Tengxiao was sitting in front of the desk, writing the memorial seriously.

Chu Jiaoli did not say anything to disturb him, but quietly walked to his side to polish the ink for him.

Two quarters of an hour later, Beigong Tengxiao put down the pen, and Chu Jiaoli put down the inkstone, raised her hand to clean the pen, put it back on the pen holder, and sorted out the memorials on the table.

Beigong Tengxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his eyes to look at her with a calm face. Unexpectedly, there were two ink marks on her beautiful fair face.

He raised his hand with a faint smile and gently stroked her face.

Seeing this, Chu Jiaoli stopped what she was doing and did not reject his touch. Warm fingers touched her cool cheek, feeling a slight tingling of warmth. She looked at him indifferently and said

No fear to hold back.

Seeing that there was still a faint trace of ink stains on her face, he looked at his fingers and said, "Go and wash your face."

Chu Jiaoli glanced at the black mark on his finger, frowned immediately, walked to the bronze mirror and took a closer look, and immediately blushed with embarrassment.

It turned out that he just looked at her dirty face...

She bit her lip, walked quickly to the sink and washed her face. Then she took out a silk handkerchief from her arms and soaked it with water. She walked up to Beigong Tengxiao, took his hand and wiped it carefully for him.

He dropped the ink stain on his hand and said, "This slave is careless."

Bei Gong Tengxiao looked down at her busy body, raised his hand to lift her chin, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said, "Do you know what I am going to do for you tonight?"

Chu Jiaoli stopped what she was doing, met his gaze calmly, and said, "Go to bed."

Beigong Tengxiao looked at her calm and composed look, raised his hand and pulled off her hairpin, and the soft black hair fell away instantly.

Chu Jiaoli slowly closed her eyes, but there was no movement for a long time. She opened her eyes slightly confused, but she saw Beigong Tengxiao lowering his head and studying her hairpin for a long time.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What is your highness doing?"

Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand and stroked the end of the hairpin. It was not sharp and there were no signs of being shaved. He said with some confusion: "Since the hairpin is not a sharp weapon, where did you hide the sharp weapon? In your clothes?"

Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, looking at his wary look on her, she frowned in displeasure and said, "Your Highness, this servant does not hide any sharp weapons."

Beigong Tengxiao looked at her, raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and said, "Really?"

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli became even more angry. She sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, if your highness doesn't believe it, just take a look." Immediately, she pulled off her belt and tried to take off her clothes.

Come down to prove your innocence.

Beigong Tengxiao's pupils shrank, and he was suddenly startled. He immediately pressed her hand to stop her and said: "Okay, okay, I believe in you."

Touching her cold hand, Beigong Tengxiao turned around and took off the black cloak hanging behind him, put it on her, and said: "It's a cold night, don't catch a cold."

Chu Jiaoli raised her face, looked at his concerned eyes, pursed her lips, and said: "His Highness said that he wanted to test the loyalty of this servant?"

Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao showed a faint smile and said: "Even if you want to resist because of this matter, it is reasonable. I will never deny your loyalty to me because you refuse to sleep with me. You are

A maid is not my concubine."
