Chu Qiao not only blushed, but her lips also became numb. She pursed her lips subconsciously and took a step back. The feeling of embarrassment made her want to turn around and run out to avoid Chong Ximo, but she thought she would be happy
The boss and the old imperial chef, she still held back.
"It's just a little symptom, just drink some hot water and it'll be fine."
"Is it because of what happened last night that you don't want to come to see me?" Chong Ximo got straight to the point and directly exposed the reason why Chu Qiao didn't want to come to Tai Hospital.
"no!"
Chu Qiao had her head lowered, but after hearing these words, she immediately raised her cheeks, her eyes filled with anger. He actually mentioned what happened last night again and again. For a woman who has not left the court, that is so difficult.
Don't he feel that he should say sorry for what happened last night, even if he is ashamed to say so? Even if it is impulsive, it is unforgivable.
"I can……"
Chong Ximo's eyes fell on Chu Qiao's lips, his expression no longer so natural.
Chu Qiao really didn't want to hear any more. That incident was over. Now let's talk about the current matter. Is he willing to help her with this?
Maybe this is a difficult thing for others, but for Chong Ximo, it is not difficult at all, because he was the one who caught the person.
"Master Chong, please make it easy for the big man to meet his uncle and fulfill his filial piety."
"no!"
Chong Ximo rejected Chu Qiao directly, his tone was very decisive, and there was no room for maneuver.
No, if it doesn't work, why doesn't he write it clearly in the paper exchange, but has to stand here in person and listen to his words?
"Why, sir, the big guy is his nephew. According to the law, he has this right..." Chu Qiao took a step forward and asked loudly.
Chong Ximo's embarrassed expression disappeared. He strode away from the bookshelf, sat behind the desk, and looked at Chu Qiao.
"It's not that I don't allow it, it's that Wei Ying doesn't want to see him," Chong Ximo said.
"The old imperial chef doesn't want to see his nephew?"
Chu Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that the old chef had been hiding the matter of pretending to be crazy from his nephew, and even kept everything from his nephew, just for fear of injuring the big man. Now that he was caught, he didn't want the big man to be involved.
Coming in and refusing to meet each other is heartless, but it is also the best way to protect the big guy, otherwise it will be easy to draw Dali Temple's attention to the big guy.
It turns out that Chong Ximo didn't let the big guy go, not because he didn't want to give her face, but because the old imperial chef didn't want to see her.
"Then, can I go see him?" Chu Qiao asked again.
"No!" Chong Ximo rejected her directly and coldly, more simply than what he said just now.
"Why, why?"
Chu Qiao couldn't figure it out. The big guy was missing because of their uncle-nephew relationship, so why couldn't she do it either. This sounded a little unreasonable.
Chong Ximo stood up slowly, supporting his arms on the table, and his voice was still as quiet and elegant as ever.
"The reason why I burned your books is because I don't want you to get involved in this matter. If it is known that you learned your cooking skills from him, you will be the next person Dali Temple arrests."
Such a sentence frightened Chu Qiao to take a few steps back, and her back suddenly hit the door. The fact he said was that the spicy eel dish Chu Qiao cooked in the kitchen competition had already made Eunuch Lan suspicious.
Well, that fellow also took people to the old chef's place in person to test whether the old chef was really crazy or just pretending to be crazy. Now that Eunuch Lan knows that the old chef is really pretending to be crazy, she is afraid that this matter will really involve her.
It's coming to you.
With her back pressed against the cold door, Chu Qiao felt chilled all over. If this was really the case, it would indeed be a bit risky for her to go see the old imperial chef. Chong Ximo thought very carefully.
It turns out that Chong Ximo had good intentions all along, including searching her room last night and burning two books. As for his frivolous behavior, it is a bit difficult to explain.
Shaking her head, Chu Qiao looked at Chong Ximo again, her tone no longer as tough as before.
"But...is there any way to get him out of the way? He is just a petty thief and has not done anything bad? Lord Chong."
"How do you know what he stole?" Chong Ximo asked back.
Chong Ximo's question stopped Chu Qiao. She thought for a moment and thought of the things in the old imperial kitchen, so she told her one by one.
"Of course I know. It's just a few books, some fish, vegetables, and some tattered shoes and tattered clothes. Although he is pretending to be crazy, his head is still a little abnormal. Maybe stealing is just a hobby of his, and he doesn't
With other intentions.”
"Well said."
Chong Ximo laughed, walked around the table, and walked over.
When Chu Qiao saw him suddenly leaving her seat and coming over, she immediately became alert. He wasn't going to do anything rude to her like he did last night. If that was the case, she would never let her off lightly this time.
The slap on his face was light because she wanted to disfigure him. Even though her nails were not long, they were enough to scratch his face.
Although she was thinking this in her heart, Chu Qiao didn't know if she had the guts to do that to him, not to mention that he was very skilled. Maybe before she could make a move, she would be holding her down with her hands and feet. She could do whatever she wanted.
So done.
Seeing Chu Qiao's fearful expression, Chong Ximo stopped and did not take another step forward.
"Are you afraid of me?"
"Afraid...no, not afraid..." Chu Qiao was indeed afraid of Chongxi Ximo, but she still had a tough mouth.
"I said, if you want, you can be my admirer, so there is no need to be afraid of me..." He narrowed his eyes, and what he said made Chu Qiao blush.
"Also, let's talk about the old imperial chef." Chu Qiao lowered her head, her face getting hot.
"Okay, let's talk about the old imperial chef Wei Ying."
Chong Ximo chuckled lightly and looked at Chu Qiao's delicate cheeks. There was a hint of surprise in the red color. She couldn't hide it just because she was wearing unisex clothes. She was a beauty at heart.
, exuding a wildness that is hard to control, a woman who can make Chong Ximo's behavior go crazy at any time.
He was embarrassed and had to look away.
"As you said, I initially thought that the man in black had a habit of stealing palace items, because he took almost everything, clothes, shoes, even some dishes, data, calligraphy and paintings, but in fact, every time he
The goals are very clear. It was only after the incident was revealed that he would take something casually. So this is not a hobby or a quirk at all. He is looking for something. Although he refuses to say it clearly, I believe... sooner or later one day
, will find out."
Chong Ximo raised the corner of his mouth, and his expression became more and more deserted. The people at Dali Temple just believed that the old imperial chef was stimulated and would steal things everywhere, but he didn't think so.
"You mean... everyone thinks this is his hobby, just like what I said?" Chu Qiao asked.
"That's the way it is now, so I won't kill his head. After all, he is the former emperor's old cook, and the empress dowager can't bear it." Chong Ximo's eyes looked at Chu Qiao, as if he didn't expect that Chu Qiao would be like this.
Concerned about that old eunuch.
"That's good...it would be nice if I could see him. I want to persuade him to stop doing such nonsense..."
Chu Qiao looked at Chong Ximo again, blinked her eyes, and said tentatively: "Can you arrange for me to meet him without anyone knowing, so that no one knows that I am Li Chunxiang?
People doubt me."
"Li Chunxiang!" Chong Ximo's eyes widened, staring at Chu Qiao as if he wanted to swallow her up. This woman's demands were becoming more and more excessive. Didn't this make him bend the law for personal gain?
Seeing Chong Ximo's displeased expression, Chu Qiao immediately took a breath, shook her hand, and said softly.
"If it doesn't work, forget it. Then, I'll go back."
She was really afraid of Chong Ximo's gaze, and she was even more afraid that he would rush over suddenly. If he kissed her again, she would be hysterical.
Chu Qiao turned around in horror and was about to open the door when Chong Ximo's voice rang out helplessly.
"You really want to see him?"
"grown ups?"
These words sounded like there was room for maneuver. Chu Qiao immediately turned around and looked over. She found that Chong Ximo's expression was no longer so fierce. Is he soft-hearted? Does he feel guilty? Undoubtedly, this expression is a bit interesting.
.
"Can, can you?" Chu Qiao took back her steps and showed an expectant expression. Chong Ximo wanted to say no, but he couldn't.
"Put on these clothes!"
Chong Ximo suddenly grabbed a set of gray clothes and threw it towards Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao quickly reached out to pick it up and found that it turned out to be a set of little eunuch's clothes. Did he mean to ask her to dress up as a little eunuch? Is this even possible?
What a great idea.
"Change right away, I'll take you there now." Chong Ximo said impatiently.
"Okay, okay, I'll change it right away."
After Chu Qiao said these words, she turned around, quickly put on the eunuch's clothes, tied the belt, and adjusted it up and down. It seemed to fit well. It must have been worn by a thin guy.
Then she put the hat on her head.
"Sir, is this okay?"
Chu Qiao put on the eunuch's clothes, turned around and looked at Chong Ximo.
Chong Ximo's eyes came straight over and he stared at the woman in front of him for a long time. Even if she was wearing the clothes of a young eunuch, she was still beautiful, charming and clear.
"What? No, it doesn't look like it?"
Chu Qiao felt that Chong Ximo's eyes were strange, and she suddenly became nervous. Doesn't it look like a little eunuch wearing this? Or... She looked down at her breasts and frowned. They didn't seem that big, and the clothes were a little bit too big.
It's so fat that it just covers the two bulges.
Perhaps Chong Ximo felt even more embarrassed when she looked at him like this, and he coughed lightly.
"Follow me, keep your head down. If you dare to raise your head, we will go back the same way."
"I am obedient and will listen to you in everything."
Chu Qiao stretched out her hand and swore, Chong Ximo's eyes swept over her, reached out and pushed the door open, whispered something to the little eunuch outside, and the little eunuch ran away.
