Chapter 9 Falling into a Trap
"That's natural." Beigong Tengxiao showed a faint smile, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and said, "I will help you do the math. Your monthly payment is one tael, ten years a year. Two months, it will take you eight years and four months to leave this Palace."

"You!" Chu Jiaoli frowned, and slowly clenched her fists in her sleeves, "Is this what His Highness said about leaving the palace soon?"

"That's right. In two months, I will move out of the palace to live in the Prince's Mansion. As my maid, you will naturally leave the palace with me."

"Are you playing tricks on me? The big maids of the Chu Mansion have a monthly salary of one tael, how can His Highness's personal maid only have this amount?" Chu Jiaoli clenched her teeth, her eyes showing a hint of anger.

Seeing that she was finally in a hurry, Beigong Tengxiao showed a satisfied smile, and said: "You deceived me first, but now I am your master, so I will decide how much money I will give you."

This rascal...

Chu Jiaoli bit her lips, snorted coldly, and said, "I never expected His Highness to have such a magnanimity, it really makes this servant... dumbfounded."

How long has it been eight years? After he moves into the Prince's Mansion next month, he will marry Xiang Yini. She was a side concubine in the previous life, but now she is just a little maid. Don't you want to see that the two of them are inseparable? Harmony?

"You can say whatever you want." Beigong Tengxiao was in a happy mood, tapping the table with his slender fingers, and said, "From now on, you will be fully responsible for all the daily life of this palace, changing clothes and washing, serving tea and water. "

Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, not daring to look at Beigong Tengxiao, but she felt a little bitter in her heart.

As his wife in the past, she seldom did anything for him. Although some tiring work should have been done by servants, Beigong Tengxiao doesn't like strangers getting close. In the past, she often saw Xiang Yini close to her body Serve him.

It is precisely because of Xiang Yini's thoughtfulness that he is so partial to her...

Now that she has such an opportunity, she can't tell whether she is grateful or wronged, but... After all, she feels ashamed of him, and she can't refuse to do good things to him.

After thinking about it, she lowered her head and replied, "Yes."

Seeing how quickly she obeyed, Bei Gong Teng Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows.

How did you lose your temper so quickly?

He sighed helplessly, that's all, there will be a long time to come.

Raising his hand, he picked off a round grape from the fruit plate on the table, carefully peeled off the skin, and said, "Chu Yuanzhe has already confessed, the poison on the fabric was caused by him."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli slowly frowned.

Sure enough it was him...

"According to my Beiming law, the Chu Mansion should ransack the house. You, Chu Jiaoxing, and Chu Jiaotang have all sold the Chu Mansion. Even if the house is ransacked, nothing will happen."

Chu Jiaoli bit her lips. She hated Chu House so much that she even washed Chu House with blood with her own hands. Now that the Imperial College is handling the case, even if Chu House is eliminated, her hands will not be dirty, which is very good. .

Those four people were beheaded, so there would definitely not be any corpses left behind, and she didn't have to worry that after Chu Jiaoping died, the person who would kill Beigong Tengxiao in the future would appear after returning from the corpse.

Beigong Tengxiao looked at her and said with a smile: "However, I only beheaded Chu Yuanzhe and saved the Chu family."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli frowned and said, "Why?"

Beigong Tengxiao slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said, "I have my own reasons."

Chu Jiaoli lowered her head and pondered for a while. She had murdered and was caught, and lived in fear every day. Although she hated those four people, she couldn't cause any big disturbances.

It's just that if Beigong Tengxiao was caught this time and caused the emperor to be angry, then...

"Think twice, Your Highness, such important matters should be handled impartially by the Minister of Dali Temple." Chu Jiaoli persuaded rationally.

Beigong Tengxiao saw that she spoke so lightly, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled softly and said: "In the Chu family, there are all people who are related to you by blood, so you don't think it's a big deal if they have an accident, it seems , your life in the Chu Mansion is very unsatisfactory."

Chu Jiaoli frowned and said solemnly: "The servant said this out of consideration for His Highness, it's better not to leave anything behind."

Beigong Tengxiao slightly raised the corners of his lips, got up and approached her, leaned over to cover her ear, and said in a hoarse voice, "You care about me so much?"

Chu Jiaoli froze, and slowly lowered her head.

With playful eyes, Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand and put the peeled grapes into her mouth, saying: "Don't question your master, I will handle things cleaner than you."

Chu Jiaoli froze for a moment, slowly chewed the grapes in her mouth, her eyes dimmed slightly, and she clenched her fists in her sleeves.

Caring for him with good intentions, but in exchange for such ridicule...

In a fit of anger, a slender hand was slowly raised to her lips.

Chu Jiaoli looked up at him, a little puzzled.

Beigong Tengxiao raised the corners of his lips and said, "Spit out the seeds."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli bit her lip, walked around him to the table, spit the grape seeds into her hands, and put them into the small plate on the table.

Beigong Tengxiao chuckled, and was about to start teasing, when he saw a little eunuch trotting over in the distance, frowning slightly.

He is the little Lanzi next to the emperor.

Xiao Lanzi bowed to Beigong Tengxiao, and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor is hosting a banquet in the Imperial Garden, and I want you to go over now."

"Having a banquet?" Beigong Tengxiao raised his eyebrows lightly, after a little consideration, he turned his head to Chu Jiaoli and said, "Let's go."

Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, seeing that Beigong Tengxiao had gone far away, she reacted quickly, and immediately stepped forward to follow behind.

Seeing Beigong Tengxiao's leisurely pace, she frowned slightly behind her, and said: "Your Highness, this servant has just entered the palace and has not learned any etiquette rules. You have to bring your servant to meet the emperor. Don't be afraid." Has the servant made a mistake?"

Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao blinked his slightly slack eyes, sighed in a disturbed way, and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel that I have you by my side, so I will feel more at ease."

In the past, the maids around her were as boring as stone statues, so what's the difference between having them or not?

On the contrary, this girl, who has just experienced ups and downs in her life, is still calm. It seems that as long as she stays by her side, her heart can calm down quickly.

Chu Jiaoli could hear his uneasiness. In his memory, Beigong Tengxiao was not like this when facing the emperor...

She was a little puzzled and said: "Your Highness, why are you uneasy when you see your father?"

Beigong Tengxiao tilted his head slightly, showing a faint smile, and said: "You might as well guess, why did the father find me?"

Chu Jiaoli lowered her eyes and thought for a while, seeing his appearance, it was definitely not an ordinary banquet.

He is the only son of the emperor, but his power is slightly inferior to that of Qi Shizi Beigong Qianqiu. The emperor has not shown any selfishness towards his son. In order to fight for the throne, he in the previous life frequently entered the palace to accompany the emperor when he was critically ill. In her memory Among them, the father and son only have this topic.
