The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 160

It was rare for Xia Jinchai not to drink.But while holding the rice bowl, he smiled more than ever during the meal.

As for Bai Jiujiu, the more determined he looked, the more his heart thumped.The more you eat, the more you don't know the taste.

"Why don't you eat? Eunuch Tao will be back soon."

"En." Bai Jiujiu buried her head.

That's right, since I can't guess what kind of medicine Xia Jinchai bought in the gourd, I'd better go back to rescue the soldiers as soon as possible.

Therefore, the only way to do this is to quickly solve the task at hand, and then discuss the countermeasures with the seniors.

So he put one end of the bowl, poked his head, and quickly finished a large bowl of rice at the speed of wind and clouds.He stood up and said, "I've finished eating."

Xia Jinchai chewed slowly, without even looking at her, he said, "Sit down for a while after eating."

Bai Jiujiu's heart skipped a beat, how could it be done!He bowed and said, "But Jiujiu still has a lot of things to deal with."

"in a hurry?"

Bai Jiujiu nodded: "Very anxious."

Unexpectedly, Xia Jinchai waved at the four maidservants beside him.

The four servant girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter thought that the master was extra merciful today, thinking that since Bai Jiujiu had something to leave, maybe it would be the four of them's turn to eat with them.The excitement in my heart is really unparalleled.

They looked at each other and smiled, then walked over together, bowed their heads and called softly: "My lord."

Unexpectedly, their prince and master gave Bai Jiujiu an order: "Tell me, if there is any urgent matter, just leave it to the four of them."

The fourth servant girl's face turned pale immediately.Dare not to ask myself to eat for that silly girl, but to ask myself to work for that silly girl!
Now, Bai Jiujiu really trembled.Urgent, how can there be any urgent matter!It's just a casual excuse to leave.

Xia Jinchai smiled at her, with that overly gentle face, in Bai Jiujiu's view, it was his poor excuse that he clearly saw through her.So I'm deliberately manipulating myself to make myself look good.

As time passed by, Bai Jiujiu was even more anxious.His eyes kept flickering, and finally, when he glanced at the pale face of the fourth servant girl, he came up with an excuse to lie.

"I, I feel sick to my stomach, maybe I ate something bad in the morning."

"What did you have for breakfast?" Xia Jinchai asked with concern.

However, before Bai Jiujiu could reply, he gave an order to the four servant girls: "Go to the kitchen quickly and bring all the people who are in charge of making breakfast today!"

"No, no, no!" Seeing that the lie was going to be misunderstood again, Bai Jiujiu hurriedly shook her head to stop, "I didn't eat breakfast at the palace today, I ate outside..."

In the voice of the second half of the sentence, Bai Jiujiu spoke very softly.She was so afraid that Xia Jinchai would ask which shop or stall she ate the food from. If that was the case, how should she continue to make friends?
However, Xia Jinchai didn't understand that well.He who had a gentle face just now suddenly showed a few glaring coldness.He just said to Bai Jiujiu with a smirk: "Hmph, are you telling me that you hurriedly met Duanmuling privately so early in the morning that you didn't care about breakfast, or that you were a Not in Prince Chai's mansion, but slept on Duanmu Ling's bed all night?"

The coldness in the eyes was like an arrow leaving the string, and it hit Bai Jiujiu hard at the same time Xia Jinchai finished speaking, almost bouncing her from her seat in shock.

"No, I'm..."

Do you want to deny that you are not as unbearable as he said?However, under a complete denial, it is difficult to realize the previous lie.

"When I went there, I met Mrs. Duanmu for breakfast. I was greedy, so I ate some too."

"Hmph, since that's the case, where did you sleep last night?" Xia Jinchai took advantage of the situation to forcefully ask.

It's not been a day or two since I've known this woman, never did I lie without blinking eyes and speaking slowly.Thinking of the door he had reserved for her all night, not only did she not come and say nothing, even when he returned home, he couldn't find her!
After finally finding her on the street, I saw her hanging out with other men!
What was even more outrageous was that the man actually dared to say that she was his unmarried wife!

She is obviously his personal servant girl, okay?It's the maid I brought out from Chunyue Tower!Without her own permission, who can she marry, who does she dare to marry!

Imperial decree, hehe, just kidding.That thing is useful for others, but it is not effective for Xie Lian, no, just for Xia Jinchai's identity.

"I passed Granny Zhu's place yesterday, and I didn't go back to the hut because I was late chatting unknowingly."

Bai Jiujiu answered cautiously with a trembling voice.I don't know if Xia Jinchai will confront Granny Zhu.I don't even know if he will embarrass Granny Zhu because of this.

Granny Zhu, Jiujiu didn't do it on purpose.Jiujiu really didn't dare to make up one lie after another...

Oh, this sounds more believable.

Xia Jinchai turned his head from his thoughts and looked at Jiujiu.I saw that she was trying her best to pretend to have a stomachache.

Not only was his small body twisted into a ball, even his brows were tightly knit into knots.And that small face turned out to be as pale as it was many days ago.

What are you thinking, can you scare yourself like this?Is she so worried that she won't be able to marry Duanmuling?

Xia Jinchai snorted coldly, no matter who you want to marry, without your permission, it's impossible!

However, when she thought about how suddenly she had lost her soul in the past few days, she couldn't stop her stiff heart.

He waved his hand towards Bai Jiujiu: "Go and come back quickly."

"Yes!"

Bai Jiujiu responded quickly, and disappeared even faster with a trot.She simply rushed back to the side courtyard at the fastest speed in her life.

"Brother, help me!"

He was running out of breath, but he still rushed for help the first time he saw his senior brother.

Seeing Jiujiu's pale face, Huang Min was startled: "What's wrong? Did he make things difficult for you again?"

"Woooo..." Without saying a word of serious business, Bai Jiujiu burst into tears.

But without waiting for Huang Min to comfort her, she wiped away her tears while restraining her crying as much as possible, choking her throat and telling the story word by word.

"Senior brother, you are really right. The imperial edict was not announced yet, so the eunuch went back to the palace directly."

"Go back to the palace without announcing?" Huang Min frowned, "Could it be that the eunuch was afraid of him, so he was scared back?" "No, when I went, the eunuch smiled happily. Unfortunately, I went late, no I know what they all said. But..." Bai Jiujiu grabbed Huang Min's hand vigorously, "Senior brother, Jiujiu, please help me go to General Duanmu's mansion, find Duanmu Ling, and ask him to return quickly. Go to the palace and have a good talk with the emperor. Otherwise, it might be really yellow..."
