Chapter 89: Lady, You Can't Settle Your Bills
Gu Qi looked at the zongzi who walked in and felt a little funny, this guy really had bruises on his face.
"What are you laughing at?" Zongzi glanced at her angrily: "It's not all good things you did, lady." ”
"Is it me? Why can't I remember? Gu Qi pretended to have amnesia, and a trace of calculation crossed his eyes.
"Lady, you can't be repaid, the injuries on Zongzi's face are all made by the lady, you have to be responsible for Zongzi!" A certain zongzi cried out aggrievedly, but Gu Qi laughed.
"Okay, don't pretend, tell me what you're looking for me, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a while!" Gu Qi forced a smile, squinted at Zongzi and asked.
"Lady......" Zongzi looked hesitant, as if he was thinking about how to say: "Can we not go to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
"Why? I remember you didn't promise me not to ask? Gu Qi asked rhetorically.
"That was before...... But now the situation has changed, lady, don't forget that there is still Junyu there! When he said the back, Zongzi's expression was obviously a little excited.
"Junyu? There will be no problem with Jun Yu, he has promised me that he will not reveal my identity. Gu Qi explained that she believed that Jun Yu promised him, so she would not be untrustworthy.
Zongzi smiled helplessly: "Do you also believe his words?" Don't forget that he is the prince of Nanzhao Kingdom, and this kind of person will only think about his own interests. ”
"But I'm just a little cook in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it won't affect him anything." Gu Qi retorted, although she also knew that Jun Yu was not a good person, but she subconsciously felt that he would not hurt her.
Seeing that Gu Qi still insisted, Zongzi had to sigh, looked at her again and said, "Lady, Zongzi is all about it, think about it." I'll send you there in a moment, you drank too much last night, so it's better to be careful. ”
"Okay." Gu Qi nodded, seeing that Zongzi cared about her so much, she didn't want to give him what he meant.
After a simple grooming and dressing up, Gu Qi went to the Prime Minister's Mansion under the light of Zongzi, so in the conversation just now, the two were silent all the way, and twice Zongzi seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he just frowned and didn't say it.
"It's here, lady, go in, I'll pick you up when you get off the business." Zongzi sent Gu Qi to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and turned around and left without looking back.
Originally, she wanted to say that there was no need to be so troublesome, but he walked so fast that she didn't have time to speak, and the figure of Zongzi had already disappeared at the corner of the street.
Gu Qi shook his head, stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and followed the previous road to Zaifu's back kitchen.
Just like yesterday, Gu Qi reported to Aunt Zhou as soon as she came, and she went to her place to continue working, but today she always felt that there were a few eyes that had been following her.
Gu Qi didn't pay attention to it, took the menu sorted out by the cook, and came back with a bunch of dishes from the room full of fresh food, and was about to enter the door, but he didn't know that he was tripped by the secret foot from there, and the large and small dishes in the bamboo basket rolled out.
"Ouch, Qiqi, why are you a little careless." Aunt Zhou, who was still in command in the stove room, saw Gu Qi who had fallen, and hurriedly walked out to help her.
Gu Qi got up from the ground, rubbed his somewhat broken knees, glanced at Aunt Zhou with a wry smile and said, "Auntie, it doesn't matter, I'll pick some vegetables again." ”
"Does it really matter?" Aunt Zhou glanced at Gu Qi, who was bleeding a little from her knees, "If it's uncomfortable, don't hold on." ”
"It really doesn't matter." Gu Qi shook his head, picked up the bamboo basket that had fallen to the ground again, and replied, "Qiqi has finished these tasks, and it doesn't matter if he goes to deal with the wounds." ”
"Okay then, take care of yourself." Aunt Zhou blinked, meaning something.
After staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so long, she still doesn't know these twists and turns in the back kitchen, I'm afraid that this Shen Qi will suffer such an unwarranted disaster, and it is also because of yesterday
The young master's praise, although she had a good impression of this girl, she couldn't defend her in everything, which would only put her in a more difficult situation.
Gu Qi understood, although she didn't see the kick clearly just now, there was a vaguely familiar figure passing by the door, she didn't want to investigate, just thinking that more is better than less.
Yes, she endured the fire on her knees. The spicy pain went back to the next room to get the dishes to be used, and then went back to the stove to clean.
However, I was about to fetch water from the large tank as I had done yesterday, only to find that the water in the tank was almost at the bottom.
Gu Qi was still hesitating what to do, when she heard the voice from the cook, asking her if the dishes she wanted to use had been washed.
"Wait a minute, the water in the tank is gone, I'll go get some and come back."
Raising his eyes and looking around, Gu Qi picked up the bucket of water, looked for a family member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, asked the location of the well, and went to ask for water, but was blocked by a big hand.
"Where are you going? Is this trying to slip away? This voice is cold, and when you hear it, it's that damn Junyu.
Gu Qi glanced at him impatiently and replied, "I didn't see it, I'm going to carry water, don't get in the way!" ”
However, Jun Yu didn't reply, but her slightly narrowed gaze fell on her bloodstained knees, and her expression immediately turned cold: "Say, what's going on?" ”
There was a faint murderous aura in that voice, Gu Qi shivered coldly, and said, "Look at it, I accidentally fell myself." ”
"Did you drink too much?" Jun Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, staring at her face in disbelief.
"yes, it's okay to drink too much." Gu Qi returned angrily, but when he thought of the tragic situation after being drunk yesterday, his face turned red imperceptibly.
Jun Yu looked at her slightly shy appearance, and believed it, but saw her carrying the bucket with difficulty, and her face was difficult to look at.
"Doesn't this kitchen have the strength to carry water?"
Jun Yu's voice was deliberately amplified a little, and Gu Qi didn't have time to stop him, so he saw Aunt Zhou leading a few kitchen stewards to rush out.
Aunt Zhou and the others naturally recognized it as their young master's distinguished guest, and when they saw him looking at them with an unkind face, they hurriedly asked, "The prince is here, what are your instructions?" ”
"Is this how you cook a wounded woman?" Jun Yu pointed at Gu Qi, his face was not depressed.
Aunt Zhou understood, and sent someone to take a bucket of water from Gu Qi's hand, and now she didn't want to offend this big Buddha.
Jun Yu saw that the people in the kitchen also had some eyesight, so he took leave on behalf of Gu Qi very domineeringly, pulled her and turned away, leaving only a group of people wiping cold sweat.
"Let it go!"
couldn't bear this person pulling him like a mop, Gu Qi broke free from his shackles and rubbed the red marks on his wrists unhappily.

In the past, it was difficult for him to get close, and very few people knew him.
The dust sweeps through the space of thoughts,
Pass.
Life and death are destined to disappear.
I think about yesterday, but the heartache is today.
I don't know if it's to continue your love from the bottom of my heart, or to you (to be continued.) )
