"There's no point in pretending. Chong Ximo will definitely bite me. If he finds out that I'm trying to steal the prescription, he won't even be able to escape alive. There's probably no hope of investigating Yun Chongjin's matter.
Remember you promised me to take care of the big guy, he is just a fool and has no brains."
"He is your nephew. You don't take good care of yourself, but you ask me to do it? I am just his friend, not his uncle. How can it be the same? Besides, you also said that I am not even your apprentice, so why should I help you?"
Do you take care of your nephew?"
Chu Qiao's retort made the old chef roll his eyes several times. This girl's words were really unpleasant, and she didn't show any affection at all.
"Li Chunxiang, can't you take it for the sake of me helping you? Otherwise, how could you have entered the imperial kitchen now?" The old imperial chef's mouth was almost crumpled with anger.
"Well, since you mentioned it, because you helped me, I will find a way to get you out, but you have to promise not to steal again in the future. If you say that a big guy has no brains, I don't think you have any.
Nothing more than that.”
Chu Qiao scolded the old chef angrily.
"Can you help me out?" The old chef was a little surprised. Isn't this girl talking nonsense?
"Promise first!" Chu Qiao insisted.
"Okay, okay, I promise." The old chef nodded solemnly.
"As long as Chong Ximo remains silent about this matter, you will have a chance to come out. You can pretend to be a lunatic here for a few days before I leave." Chu Qiao turned around and walked towards the cell door. Behind her, the old chef suddenly knelt on the ground, standing tall
The ground shouted.
"Congratulations to your Majesty..."
puff!
Chu Qiao almost laughed. At this moment, she became a queen again.
The jailer outside rolled his eyes and cursed: "This old lunatic, he doesn't even distinguish between male and female when he calls someone his mother-in-law."
After saying that, the jailer led Chu Qiao out.
Chong Ximo was still sitting in the chair. When he saw Chu Qiao coming out, he stood up, turned around and walked out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishments. Liu Zhang and Xu Jin followed him.
Sitting in the official sedan again, Chu Qiao grabbed the curtain of the sedan, feeling anxious. How could she make Chong Ximo give up the idea of exposing the old imperial chef? He had fought against the old imperial chef several times, how could he not?
Know the fact that the old imperial chef is pretending to be crazy? This is really a problem.
If Chong Ximo has any hobbies, he might consider bribery in private. Chu Qiao doesn't have money, and she can't even give her rights. Next, it's beauty...
Thinking of this, the pores all over Chu Qiao's body stood up. It seemed that she did have this, and Chong Ximo seemed to enjoy it very much. He even kissed her like crazy last night.
Her hand shook slightly and fell from the curtain. Did she really want to use her beauty to make Chong Ximo submit? It seemed like this was the only way she had left.
She bit her finger in annoyance, perhaps because she was too strong, and the pain almost made her cry out.
The Ministry of Justice was not far from the palace, and soon they arrived at the side entrance of the palace. Chu Qiao got off the official sedan and stood on the ground, her heart still beating. She looked up and saw Chong Ximo standing stiffly.
There, staring at her with profound eyes, she quickly lowered her head and hurried towards the palace. Chong Ximo, Liu Zhang and Xu Jin didn't know what they said, and then they strode up to catch up.
"I'll take you back to Yayuan."
If it were sent back to Yayuan before, Chu Qiao would have tried her best to refuse, but at this time, she did not speak, but acquiesced. She needed a separate opportunity to talk to Chong Ximo about the old imperial chef's problem.
, if he could take it for the sake of his "friendship" with her, he might happily agree to her, but that's not necessarily the case.
The whole journey was speechless, one in front, one after, taking advantage of the thick darkness of night, crisp footsteps could be heard on the ground.
Arriving at the entrance of Yayuan, Chong Ximo stopped.
"Okay, we're here, go in."
Go in? If Chu Qiao goes in, once the door is closed, there will really be no chance.
"Sir, why don't you come in and sit down for a while?" Chu Qiao felt that her voice had changed to emphasize, delicate, and controlled. She didn't have any good intentions at heart, and it seemed that she really planned to use her beauty.
After Chu Qiao heard her own voice, she really wanted to slap herself in the face. This voice sounded as delicate and shy as Chu Jing'an's fifth wife, which made people get goosebumps out of nowhere.
Chong Ximo frowned, looked at Chu Qiao, and asked in a low voice.
"Do you really want me to come in and sit down?"
Chu Qiao's heart trembled. In fact, she wanted to say that it was too late, so let's do it tomorrow. But when she thought about it, if Wei Ying was interrogated in Dali Temple tomorrow, Chong Ximo would definitely go. When he spoke, what would happen?
It's too late, so now I have to let him in even if he is reluctant.
"My lord has done Chunxiang such a big favor, why would Chunxiang want to treat me to a cup of hot tea?" After saying that, Chu Qiao opened the door and stood aside, waiting for Chong Ximo to walk in.
But Chong Ximo did not move, but looked at Chu Qiao doubtfully. This made Chu Qiao jump with anxiety. Is he afraid that there is a ghost in this house? She is not afraid of a woman, what is he afraid of? How to let him
It's so difficult for him to get in. Could it be that he wants her to pull him in person? What's the difference between that and the Hongchen girl in Zui Chunlou on the street? Even if she were beaten to death, she wouldn't be able to make such an action.
Fortunately, after waiting for a short while, Chong Ximo finally moved and walked into Yayuan.
When Chu Qiao saw him entering, she breathed a long sigh of relief, then carefully looked around before closing the door.
"It's up to you this time, come on..."
Chu Qiao muttered to herself, then inserted the door bolt and locked it. If he didn't agree this time, there would be no chance of leaving this elegant garden.
Secretly making up her mind, Chu Qiao turned around and just raised her head, she was shocked to find Chong Ximo standing behind her, looking at her intently.
"Sir!" Chu Qiao was not prepared at all and was so frightened that he heard what he just muttered to himself.
"You really invite me to tea? Why do you lock the door when you're drinking tea?"
Chong Ximo looked at the door. Not only was the door bolt bolted, but a lock was also added to prevent him from escaping suddenly. It seemed that in the current situation, he did not need to escape at all.
"You want to keep me here for the night, that's fine. I happen to be tired. Just wash yourself up and come in." After Chong Ximo finished speaking, he turned around and strode into Yayuan's room.
Wash it clean?
What does this mean? Apparently Chong Ximo misunderstood and thought she did this because she wanted to...
"Hey, Mr. Chong, that's not what I meant. I didn't want you to spend the night here. Just listen to me..."
When Chu Qiao rushed into the room in panic, she found that Chong Ximo had taken off his official uniform, put it aside, and stretched lazily.
