Chapter 023: The Lord Who Cooks Himself

Jin Wangfu.

At the mouth of the alley leading to the back gate of the palace, Aunt Chang, who had just arrived from the palace, stood there with a complicated expression, hesitating and not going in.

She didn't know how to explain all this to Chu Junmo, after all, when she left before, she swore to complete the task assigned to her by the prince, that is, to help A Xiyan get back the sachet from the Four Emperors' Palace, and then safely take A Xiyan out of the palace and return to the palace in the backyard of the palace.

But at this moment, she was the only one who came back, and she was really embarrassed to meet the prince Chu Junmo.

Especially when the prince Chu Junmo was still in the back gate of the palace where outsiders were never allowed to enter, he personally waited for A Xiyan to come back, which showed that he was extremely trusting and relieved to Aunt Chang, and did not consider the possibility that A Xiyan would not come back at all.

If Ah Xiyan and Aunt Chang leave the palace together and return to the back gate of the palace, Aunt Chang only needs to escort Ah Xiyan to the mouth of this alley, and then she can leave and go back with confidence.

Because Aunt Chang knew that in this seemingly secluded and uninhabited deep alley, there was actually a special royal blood guard secretly guarding it.

Except for the prince himself, as well as those allowed by the prince, such as Ah Xiyan, who lives here now, can enter it smoothly, anyone else will be stopped by the royal guards who are secretly guarding as long as they enter it.

She must reveal her identity, and after being approved by the royal guards, she must also enter the mansion by the royal guards to ask the prince before she can enter this backdoor mansion that belongs to the forbidden area of the palace.

Otherwise, the royal guards have the right to expel them directly, and they will not be able to see the prince Chu Junmo at all.

Therefore, Aunt Chang understood that she had no right to enter this alley directly, let alone see the prince Chu Junmo.

So, she took the identity token from her waist, held it high, and stopped after walking into the alley about three feet or so.

shouted loudly: "The old slave Chang Yuwan has something important to ask to see the prince, and it is related to Miss A, please report it on your behalf." ”

After shouting loudly, Aunt Chang saw that there seemed to be a black shadow jumping down from the high wall, and before she could react, the other party flashed by and disappeared.

If she hadn't noticed that the identity token she was holding high in her hand was missing, she would have suspected that the black shadow she had just seen was just an illusion.

This is enough to see that the royal guards who secretly guard this alley are all top masters with extraordinary skills.

Next, Aunt Chang knew that she had to wait patiently.

After the royal guard who took her token informed the prince that he had obtained permission, she could enter the mysterious mansion that was never open to the public.

Time passed quickly in this torment.

"Click...... Squeak! ”

Just as Aunt Chang was anxiously waiting for the royal guards to return and inform her that she could enter the mansion, she heard the sound of a mechanism opening from the depths of the alley, and the screeching of the door slowly opening.

She thought that the royal guards had come to pick her up and enter the mansion after the announcement, but she didn't expect a familiar figure to walk quickly towards her.

This person is none other than the prince Chu Junmo.

Chu Junmo had been waiting in the courtyard for Ah Xiyan to get the sachet and come back smoothly, because he felt that being accompanied by Aunt Chang would be foolproof.

Before waiting for Ah Xiyan to come back, he also personally cooked a table of specialty dishes and prepared a jar of fine wine, which was intended to be celebrated after Ah Xiyan's triumphant return.

This is the first time he has personally cooked for others in so many years, and it is also the most attentive meal, if this reaches the ears of outsiders, he will definitely be surprised!

Who would believe that a prince who is indifferent and ruthless and always refuses people thousands of miles away would personally cook for a woman, this is definitely enough shocking news to stir up the entire imperial city.

But just when the prince Chu Junmo looked at a table of dishes, estimated the time, and felt that Ah Xiyan was coming back soon, he didn't expect that a royal guard urgently asked to see him.

When he saw that the identity token in the hands of the royal guards was indeed Aunt Chang's, he knew that Ah Xiyan definitely did not come back with Aunt Chang, and suddenly had the worst plan in his heart, that is, Ah Xiyan was afraid that something would happen.

So, he went out directly to see Aunt Chang in person, wanting to know what happened as soon as possible, so that he could rush to save Ah Xiyan immediately.

lest the royal guards inform Aunt Chang to come into the mansion and delay the time, and miss the best time to save Ah Xiyan.

"Aunt Chang, why are you the only one who came back? What about Ah Xiyan? ”

When he walked quickly to Aunt Chang, Chu Chujunmo couldn't wait to ask.

"The old slave sees the prince, Miss A, she was personally named the chief imperial doctor by the emperor and was arranged to live in the Weiyang Palace."

Aunt Chang bowed respectfully.

"What? Xi Yan was personally appointed by the emperor as the chief imperial physician, and she was also rewarded with a residence in Weiyang Palace? What the hell is going on? Didn't this king ask you to help her get the sachet and leave the palace immediately? ”

When Chu Junmo listened to Aunt Chang's answer, his face changed and he asked.

"Back to the prince, it is the old slave who is derelict in his duties, and he has failed the prince's trust. Here's how it happened......"

Aunt Chang looked guilty and told her in detail everything that happened before and after she took A Xiyan into the palace.

Among them, before entering the palace, she met a frightened horse who saved Ah Xiyan, and after she fainted, she was met by the eldest princess who happened to be passing by, and Ah Xiyan had to lie that she was the new palace maid recommended by Aunt Chang to the Four Emperors' Palace.

And the eldest princess happened to be the fourth prince who entered the palace to visit the seriously ill prince, and she had always respected Aunt Chang very much, so she kindly took Aunt Chang who fainted and A Xiyan, who had no identity token, into the palace.

Before entering the palace, he also picked up Ye Qingli, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion.

After entering the palace, Aunt Chang also slipped into the Four Emperors' Hall with Ah Xiyan without alarming anyone, and assisted Ah Xiyan to get the sachet smoothly.

But just when the two of them were about to leave the palace of the four princes, they didn't expect Chu Xiaoyao, who had been unconscious, to wake up!

The reason why Chu Xiaoyao was able to wake up when he was poisoned and unconscious was that Ah Xiyan gave Chu Xiaoyao an antidote pill before looking for the sachet, and the sachet happened to be hidden in Chu Xiaoyao's arms, so when Ah Xiyan searched the entire dormitory and didn't find it, and finally got the sachet from Chu Xiaoyao's arms, due to the delay for too long, Chu Xiaoyao had successfully detoxified and woken up.

As a result, the two of them were stopped by the four princes on the spot, and in a hurry, Ah Xiyan had no choice but to confess everything, and at this moment, the emperor came in with all the doctors of the Tai Hospital.

So this incident also alarmed the emperor.

Fortunately, the four princes didn't know why they were kind-hearted, and after learning about Ah Xiyan's purpose for entering the palace and her life experience, not only did they not blame Ah Xiyan for trespassing into his bedroom, but also told a big lie in front of the emperor with an idea, saying that Ah Xiyan was a folk doctor recommended by Aunt Chang, and had studied under a famous folk doctor who was good at detoxification, and it was also Ah Xiyan who saved his life by carrying antidote pills, so as to help Ah Xiyan get rid of his crimes, and strongly recommended Ah Xiyan to become the chief imperial doctor.

And the emperor was also convinced of the lies of the four princes, and agreed to the post of chief imperial physician of A Xiyan on the spot.

After that, at the suggestion of the Four Princes, he lived in the Weiyang Hall next to the Four Emperors' Palace.

And under the deliberate guidance of the four princes, the emperor also knew the purpose of Ah Xiyan's coming to the imperial city - that is, to find out his life experience, and promised to secretly help Ah Xi find out the mystery of his life experience, and severely punish the villains who kidnapped A Xiyan back then.

It's just that before finding out her life experience, Ah Xiyan had no way to leave the palace, so she could only stay in the Weiyang Palace to help the four princes detoxify according to the requirements of the four princes.

Fortunately, the emperor agreed that Aunt Chang would stay in the palace to take care of Ah Xiyan, and also allowed Aunt Chang to enter and leave the palace at will to help Ah Xiyan, who was temporarily unable to leave the palace, so she rushed to inform the prince Chu Junmo as soon as possible at Ah Xiyan's request.

After listening to Aunt Chang's whole story, Chu Junmo also faintly felt that there was something wrong with the fourth prince Chu Xiaoyao.

He felt that Chu Xiaoyao would not lie to the emperor for no reason, there must be an ulterior secret in this.

It's just that Chu Junmo couldn't guess what it was for a while.

Fortunately, Chu Junmo was relieved to know that since Ah Xiyan had become the chief imperial physician of the emperor and lived in the Xingsheng Palace where the princes and princesses lived, her safety was still guaranteed.

And he also understands that even if he enters the palace, it will be useless, and it is impossible to take Ah Xiyan out of the palace.

Besides, Ah Xiyan doesn't know his identity as a prince yet, so as long as Ah Xiyan doesn't encounter a major event related to his life, he doesn't want to expose his true identity in front of Ah Xiyan.

It's just that he hasn't thought about what to do next, so he can only take one step at a time.

"Aunt Chang, this king understands what happened. I can't blame you, fortunately, Ah Xiyan is safe for the time being in Weiyang Palace, and this king can feel much more at ease. Since the fourth prince helped her to exonerate her in this way, he will definitely protect her thoroughly, and there must be something that we can't guess for the time being that Ah Xiyan needs to help him do, or he wants to get something from Ah Xiyan. But no matter what the situation is, at least until he finishes using Ah Xiyan, he won't hurt Ah Xiyan. In this way, you immediately rush back to the palace to take good care of Ah Xiyan. Don't leave the palace unless you have anything particularly important during this time. If Ah Xiyan is in trouble, she will immediately go out of the palace to inform the king. If this king wants to tell Ah Xiyan about something, he will send a trusted person into the palace to contact you privately. ”

After listening to Aunt Chang's story, Chu Junmo was silent for a while before speaking.

"Okay, Lord Wang. The old slave retired. ”

Aunt Chang saw that the prince Chu Junmo didn't blame her, and her heart was also a lot more down-to-earth, so she hurriedly agreed.

Then he hurried away and rushed to the palace.

And Chu Junmo returned to the mansion, eating the dishes he originally made for A Xiyan, while drinking wine, thinking about how to get along with A Xiyan in the future, so as to find out the origin of the totem.

It's just that I don't know why, Chu Junmo, who originally just wanted to find out the origin of the totem through A Xiyan, suddenly felt that the origin of the totem seemed to be gradually becoming unimportant, as long as A Xiyan could be safe and happy in the future, it was his greatest wish.

After realizing that he had this thought, Chu Junmo also found that he had changed, and he seemed to have become less ruthless than before......
