Chapter 378 - Bribery
When Chen Youyi came here, she brought some chili peppers over, wanting to make some of her own good dishes for the second princess, just when she just said that she had no taste in her mouth, and she didn't have any appetite, and eating some chili peppers might stimulate his appetite.
So when Chen Youyi was cooking these dishes, she put a little more chili peppers, and she also prayed in her heart, hoping that Zhao Qingliu could accept the taste of chili peppers.
She knew that if she wanted to save Qin Ziheng, it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky, it was simply her own wishful thinking, but she would not give up, she knew that things could not be rushed, so she had to take it slowly step by step.
After a few fragrant dishes were served, it immediately attracted Zhao Qingliu's sense of smell, and she immediately focused her attention on these dishes, and saw something red on them, and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”
Chen Youyi took out that kind of chili pepper from himself and put it in front of Zhao Qingliu, "This is a seasoning in our hometown, called chili, and it will have a different taste from other dishes when you put it in the dish, you can taste it." ”
Seeing that Zhao Qingliu frowned and seemed reluctant to taste, Chen Youyi immediately understood what she meant, went over to pick up the chopsticks, and tasted each dish herself.
Then put down the chopsticks and stood aside, and after a while to make sure that there was nothing wrong, Zhao Qingliu picked up the chopsticks and tasted a few bites.
At first, she did feel that this taste was a little exciting, she frowned slightly, not very comfortable, but after a while, she began to eat again, nodding her head while eating, "This taste is the first time I have tasted, it is really different, and the skills of these dishes you make are also very good, and the heat and taste are very good." ”
The moment she put down her chopsticks, she immediately said, "You can stay in my house, and follow me in the future and be a cook by my side." ”
However, as soon as the words fell, a guard stepped forward and said, "Princess, I'm afraid this is not suitable, this woman is of unknown origin, and she was caught by Qi Shengtian before, and she is suspected of being Chen Guo's spy, what if she comes to us for another purpose?" ”
Zhao Qingliu glanced at his guard, "If she is really a spy, then you will drag her out and cut her, if she is not a spy, you will stay and be a cook for me." If I have to be on guard against everyone, even if I have to be so careful about asking for a cook, then what do I want you to do? ”
The guard hurriedly took a step back, clenched his fists and said, "Subordinates obey." ”
In this way, Chen Youyi stayed in Zhao Qingliu's house.
"Where did you live before, and what is the relationship between you and that Qi Shengtian?" Zhao Qingliu asked when Chen Youyi left.
She replied, "I now live in an inn, and I used to work as a cook at Fu Lin Restaurant. ”
"Why did you arrest you, and why did you suspect that you were a spy, what did you do in the Fulin Restaurant?" Zhao Qingliu hated Qi Shengtian very much, which was one of the reasons why she wanted to keep Chen Youyi.
"I just came here to find a family member, and I haven't had the whereabouts of my family yet, and I don't know why his boss suspects me of being a spy, I just found a person and asked that person to see if he knew the whereabouts of my family, and then he caught me, I dressed as a man, all for safety, and I was worried that I, a strange woman, would encounter more danger here."
Zhao Qingliu was skeptical of Chen Youyi's words, and didn't fully believe it, but he didn't refuse because of this, "Okay, you go back and pack up your things well, and move to the house early tomorrow morning." ”
After Chen Youyi left, Zhao Qingliu said to the guards beside him, "You should investigate this woman carefully to see if she has any contact with other people, and in addition, pay attention to whether there is still contact between her and Qi Shengtian." ”
The guard nodded and turned to leave.
Qi Shengtian is the subordinate of the second prince Zhao Jingran, who is indispensable in the court, and has always wanted to suppress the crown prince and ascend to the throne of the crown prince.
And he is a good businessman, making a lot of money for the second prince, and secretly recruiting troops, which is a serious threat to the position of the prince.
It's just that now the eldest prince doesn't know where to go, where is his own brother, Zhao Qingliu doesn't know, she is really worried about the eldest brother, not long ago Zhao Qingliu got the news that someone had seen the eldest brother here at the border, so she ran to the border, but after coming here, she encountered a war again, so she stayed.
has been asking for news of the eldest brother here, but after staying here for several months, there is still no news of the eldest prince, which makes her a little disheartened.
When he was about to return to the palace, he learned that the second prince Zhao Jingran and Qi Shengtian had come here, and in order to prevent them from doing whatever they wanted here, Zhao Qingliu planned to stay and see what they wanted to do here.
Chen Youyi returned to the inn, Mo Xincheng was not there, and she didn't have anything to pack, but fortunately, she still had some silver on her, so she bought some daily necessities and prepared to go to the second princess's house the next day.
In the evening, Mo Xincheng came back, his face was a little gloomy, Chen Youyi called him to his side, "I'm going to the second princess's mansion tomorrow, where I can be a cook, I know that with my ability, it will definitely not work to rescue Xianggong, but I will not give up, I will continue to stay here until I find an opportunity." ”
Mo Xincheng looked at her quietly and did not speak.
Chen Youyi continued, "I didn't tell the second princess that there were other people with me, so you go back now, go back to Chen Country to meet Xiaoxue, and then take Xiaoxue home first, and tell my mother that I will definitely go back with my father-in-law." ”
"No, I can't leave you here alone, it's too dangerous." Mo Xincheng vetoed, "If you don't go back, I won't leave." ”
"But it's too dangerous here."
"It's because it's too dangerous here, so I can't leave easily, I'll stay here with you, in case you have something to do in the Second Princess's Mansion, you can also ask me for help, Qi Shengtian is looking for you instead of me, so I should be fine staying outside."
Chen Youyi looked at him, feeling a little guilty in her heart, "When I brought you back home, I originally wanted you to have a stable place to live, but I didn't expect to involve you in this matter." ”
Mo Xincheng shook his head, "This is my own volition, don't push this matter on yourself, in addition, I also hope to save Brother Qin, when you arrive at the second princess, you must be very careful, if there is anything you can come out to discuss with me, I am outside, I will also try to collect some information, as long as there is a chance, I will rescue Brother Qin." ”
