Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 224
Chapter 224 There Is No Hope of Leaving the Palace
However, Yun Xiao still wanted to know what Cao Bingrong was looking for.
Moreover, she wanted to find out who Cao Bingrong really looked like.
As expected, Cao Bingrong was standing under a plum tree outside the courtyard. The man raised his head and looked at the plum tree with an inexplicable expression. The hands under his wide sleeves were tightly clenched together, and his figure was slender and long, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Yun Xiao walked over and bowed, “May I know what Chef Cao Yu wants from me?”
Cao Bingrong turned around and looked at Yun Xiao. A pair of phoenix eyes landed on Yun Xiao and cupped his hands to express his thanks, “Thank you today.”
He didn’t know how the bottle ended up in Yun Xiao’s hands.
But if it wasn’t for Yun Xiao, if he found the bottle on his body, he wouldn’t be able to escape the suspicion of poison!
However, he remembered that after Chef Lu Yu left today in Gaotang Palace, the Ninth Prince happened to run past him. Could it be that the Ninth Prince was helping him?
Yun Xiao only chuckled, “No need, I’ll help you. It’s just that your face is very familiar, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen it before.”
Cao Bingrong frowned. He usually lived in seclusion. If it wasn’t for his mother, why would he leave the mountain this time?
How could anyone think he looked familiar?
Cao Bingrong cupped his hands and thanked him, “Anyway, thank you.”
Yun Xiao nodded and watched Cao Bingrong leave. However, after watching Cao Bingrong leave, Yun Xiao’s eyes suddenly lit up because that figure was too familiar! She finally remembered who this man looked like!
Like her master!
She once saw a precious painting in her master’s room. There was only the back of a man in the painting. She once asked her master, “Master, why did you only draw one back?”
“Because I only remember his back. After a few years, I actually forgot his voice, appearance, and appearance.” Liu Chan’s face fell silent, and her voice carried a slight sob.
Yun Xiao’s heart couldn’t help but beat. If it wasn’t for that, she would never have known that her master had children. In her previous life, she had never seen her master have children. It was also that painting. Only then did her master say that she had a son, but she had disappeared for a long time.
Didn’t expect to meet him here?
She always remembered that Master had said that she regretted never seeing this son.
Yun Xiao really wanted to step forward, grabbed the man’s hand and asked her if she recognized Liu Chan.
However, Yun Xiao also knew that she had never met her master in this life. Admitting her relatives rashly would only bring her a greater calamity.
However, she finally knew who Master’s son was. Since she had met him here, she had to bring him back.
The joy in his heart was overflowing with words, and the gloomy clouds that had been suppressed in his heart for days had a tendency to dissipate.
Yun Xiao turned around, only to see an enlarged face. Yun Xiao could not help but take a step back before stabilizing her body and frowning, “What are you doing?”
“I’m just curious. What are you talking about with Cao Bingrong?” Zhou Jingxu curled his lips. Unfortunately, he didn’t hear any useful news.
Yun Xiao frowned, “In the future, don’t eavesdrop on me talking to others.” After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. Obviously, she was a little angry. I just don’t know if Zhou Jingxu can do it.
In her previous life, she had mentioned Zhou Jingxu more than once, but he still followed behind her and made a small tail.
The two of them went back and sat at the table. Looking at the messy plates and dishes, the corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched fiercely. “Didn’t you eat a lot of food in Gaotang Hall before? How could you still eat so much food?” This was the first time she knew that someone could eat like this.
Princess Feilan rubbed her stomach embarrassedly and said dryly, “It’s mainly because these things are too delicious. I wish I could bite off my tongue, so I accidentally ate too much.”
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched fiercely again, “You know that you can’t do this in the future.”
Zhou Feilan smiled and said, “Alright, I won’t hold you back from your business. I’ll go out to eat first. Remember to come and find you for dinner tonight.”
Yun Xiao supported her forehead and was speechless. However, she suddenly thought of something, “Princess, can I ask you a favor?”
Zhou Feilan had just eaten too much of Yun Xiao’s food. Now that she heard Yun Xiao’s words, she immediately became spirited. “What is it? Tell me, I will definitely help you!”
Yun Xiao chuckled twice and said with a smile, “May I know where the imperial daughter lives now?”
“We live in Prince Qi’s mansion. Although we have a fief outside, we still have a mansion in the capital.”
Yun Xiao’s eyes were filled with joy as she smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, can Imperial Daughter ask His Majesty to allow me to leave the palace?”
Zhou Feilan rolled her eyes and understood what she meant. She patted her chest and smiled, “Alright, let me handle this.”
After Yun Xiao thanked her, Zhou Feilan left.
Zhou Jingxu was unwilling to leave at this moment, “Mu Tou, what are you doing out of the palace?”
‘”Of course I have something to do.” She glanced at the messy table again. She was busy this time and was a little hungry, but now she didn’t have any food at all.
“Young lady, sit down and eat first.” Fortunately, Chun Lan had stayed behind to eat a little before.
Zhou Jingxu originally wanted to continue staying here, but who knew that Eunuch Cai would suddenly come. He said that the Empress had summoned him, so he had to leave Imperial Kitchen reluctantly.
While Yun Xiao and Chun Lan were eating, they suddenly heard a burst of noisy footsteps coming from outside. They walked over in unison. Yun Xiao frowned, but her body did not move. It was none of her business, so she naturally did not care. If those people were looking for her, they would probably come in soon.
Chun Lan was not as calm as Yun Xiao, “Miss, why don’t I go out and take a look?”
Yun Xiao shook her head and stuffed another bowl into Chun Lan’s palm.
Although Chun Lan was curious, she obediently ate.
The two of them hadn’t eaten much when they heard a swarm of people rushing in. Among them, a few dared to walk to the table where Yun Xiao and Chun Lan were eating and loudly berated, “Demoness, you must have poisoned Lu Yu’s food today. I didn’t expect that you would be able to kill him at such a young age!”
Yun Xiao, however, did not raise her eyebrows. Her hand holding the chopsticks did not tremble in the slightest. She continued to eat the food in her hand, as if there were no people clamoring around her.
The man’s expression was ugly. “You can still eat, You’ve only been in the Imperial Cuisine Room for two days, The Imperial Cuisine Room was in a mess, yet you still wished to marry into the royal family. The Yun Family’s Fourth Young Lady and the Shen Family’s Eldest Young Master were unable to marry, and were compared to her own younger sister’s beauty. This must be a bad feeling. I never thought that you would hide in your home to avoid embarrassment, but instead came out to attract bees and butterflies, and even wished to marry the Prince. This is simply a foolish dream! I’ve heard this saying before. If you want to grab a man’s heart, you have to grab his stomach first. Now that the fourth young miss has practiced her cooking so well, is that what you’re thinking? What a scheming woman! ”
Yun Xiao slowly swallowed the things in her mouth. The corner of her mouth rose slightly and put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand. She smiled and looked at Chun Lan who was opposite her. “Chun Lan, are you full?”
Chun Lan nodded in shock. “I’m full.” At the same time, a trace of excitement surged in her heart. When the girl smiled like this, it meant that someone was going to be unlucky.
Yun Xiao secretly nodded. Then, she looked at the man standing not far from the table. She smiled brightly and her eyebrows were charming. “Are you done?”
That person lectured for a while. He had fantasized about Yun Xiao’s countless counter-attacks, but he never thought that Yun Xiao would look at him with a smile. Immediately, he was stunned and said blankly, “Finished.”
“Chun Lan, since you’ve eaten your fill, I’ve finished. The flies beside my ear are buzzing unpleasantly. Help me chase all of them out!” Yun Xiao’s expression suddenly became cold and fierce, and her gaze carried an aura of self-prestige without anger.
Chun Lan stood up with a smile, “Yes!” Looking at the little chef who was still standing there, he said with a straight face, “Please go out, fly.”
The faces of the people who came turned red. They had always been used to using the influence of Imperial Chef Lu to spread out in Imperial Kitchen. Now that Imperial Chef Lu had fallen, they were frightened and wanted to strike first. Even if Yun Xiao continued to stay in Imperial Kitchen, they could not allow her to knead it at will.
‘”You, don’t bully others too much! Demoness, do you think that you’ve knocked down Chef Lu Yu’s Imperial Cuisine Room? As long as we’re still here, you can’t feel comfortable in the Imperial Cuisine Room!”
Yun Xiao was speechless. This man didn’t know if his brain was abnormal. She clearly said that she wouldn’t join the royal family, but she came out of his mouth and wanted to refuse. She obviously wouldn’t be able to stay in Imperial Kitchen for a few days, but these people still wanted to be enemies with her.
Everyone get along well. Isn’t it good for everyone to let her out of the palace?
‘”Is that so? Since that’s the case, should I see your methods, or should I say that insulting others is just your methods?” A trace of mockery appeared in the depths of his eyes.
The person’s face turned red. Without Chef Lu, they were like a group of dragons without a leader. They really did not think of how to deal with Yun Xiao, but they just wanted to make Yun Xiao retreat despite the difficulties.
Yun Xiao did not give them the chance to speak. She continued, “If it was just a few insults, then it would be your method. Now that I have seen it, shouldn’t you all scram as well?”
Since he had used the word “scram”, it meant that Yun Xiao was really angry at this moment!
“You, you! Don’t be ignorant. If you want to be safe, you should get out of the palace earlier!” The visitor’s face turned fiercely red, but at this moment, he was stimulated by Yun Xiao’s’scram ‘.
“Oh? The miscellaneous clan would like to know who wants the fourth young miss to leave the palace?” A male voice with a strange feminine aura suddenly sounded outside the room, but no one cared. The little chef thought that Yun Xiao was continuing to provoke him, and his face immediately turned cold. “It’s me, what’s wrong?”
“Someone, bring out all the people who made trouble here today and send them to the internal service camp to check if they colluded with Imperial Chef Lu to harm Emperor.” The feminine voice rang out again, and the chef immediately jumped into a rage. He stared at Yun Xiao fiercely, “Witch, what right do you have to deal with me?”
However, the person behind him suddenly grabbed his arm and pointed at the outside with an ugly expression. The little chef turned around and immediately changed his expression. He knelt down heavily, “Eunuch Wei, please spare me. This servant is not talking about you. This servant is only teaching this bitch Yunxiao a lesson.”
Eunuch Wei snorted coldly and walked in through the door. “Is that so? The Emperor has just issued a decree appointing the four young ladies of the Yun Clan as the head of the Imperial Cuisine Room. Do you think the Emperor’s decree is useless? Are you looking down on the Emperor’s authority?”
“This servant does not dare, this servant does not dare!” Everyone at the entrance knelt on the ground and cried out in unison, not to mention that the Emperor would appoint Yun Xiao as his head.
However, Eunuch Wei did not give them the chance to plead for mercy. He coldly snorted and said to the Eunuch who followed behind him, “Pull all of these people out! Send them to the Internal Service Camp!”
Wu Lala, for a while, the room was filled with pleas for mercy. However, after a moment, the Imperial Cuisine Room regained its calm.
Eunuch Wei cupped his hands and said to Yun Xiao, “Fourth Miss, congratulations.”
Yun Xiao couldn’t accept the sudden news. She was obviously only staying in the palace for a few days. How could Emperor let her be in charge of Imperial Kitchen? How is she going back to Yun Clan? “Eunuch, why did Emperor give such a decree? Didn’t I just stay in the palace for a few days?”
Eunuch Wei smiled and said, “The sacred intent is unfathomable. This servant does not know the Emperor’s thoughts. This servant has already brought the order. If fourth young miss has any questions, go ask His Majesty.” After saying that, he turned around and left with his men.
Yun Xiao sat dejectedly on the chair behind her, “How could this be?”
