The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 104
Just as Bai Jiujiu expected, Xia Jinchai had already returned to Prince Chai's mansion before her.No need to ask, just look at the sympathetic expressions cast by the two guards at the door.

Just when Bai Jiujiu rushed towards the mansion with her head bowed, one of the guards called her: "Miss Jiujiu, the prince is on a long journey."

"Ah, really?" Hearing the news, Bai Jiujiu almost cheered happily.

"Yes." The guard scratched his head, "but..."

"But what?" Bai Jiujiu had a bad premonition.

"The prince has an order. You cannot step out of the gate of the palace until he comes back."

"Why, why!" Bai Jiujiu shouted immediately.You are not allowed to go out, how boring it is!
The guard shook his head, "The prince didn't say why, and we didn't dare to ask."

"Okay." Bai Jiujiu walked towards Laiyiyuan in frustration.

The scenery of Laiyiyuan is beautiful, and there are four seasons of Changchun, not to mention how colorful and full of spring it is in this April season.But no matter how beautiful the scenery was, in her Bai Jiujiu's eyes, it was just a painting.

Walking listlessly, before reaching the door to step in, Bai Jiujiu suddenly stopped her steps and turned her head sharply.

When I saw a small furry head protruding from a lush green bush, all the worries and unhappiness I had just now disappeared.

"Sneaky, I knew it was you!" Bai Jiujiu happily ran back.

"Meow—" Mao'er Meili had an expression of disbelief.But the eyes are like that, but the four legs are galloping much faster than usual.There was a light pounce towards Bai Jiujiu's arms.Immediately, Bai Jiujiu burst into giggles.

After entering the room, Bai Jiujiu felt scared when he thought of Xia Jinchai holding the cat's neck tightly on the day of parting.Busily closing the door tightly, he kept asking: "Are you hurt? Are you hurt by Lord Chai?"

A mist rose in Banlan's eyes, she shook her head repeatedly, and let out a low "meow".She also took the initiative to take her graceful steps, showing her healthy figure.

"Oh, that's good. I was terrified that day." Bai Jiujiu patted her chest lightly, and then eased the terrible shadow.

After hearing this, Ban Lan felt warm in her heart, so she couldn't help sticking out her tongue and licking the back of Bai Jiujiu's hand.

If he fell into the hands of that person, it would be a great fortune not to die. As for his escape, it was entirely because he met a kind person.

But, should I tell Bai Jiujiu this?No, one thing more is worse than one thing less, and it will save her from worrying about herself.

"Hey, are you hungry? How come you gained a lot of weight without my care?" Ban Lan was in a daze, but Bai Jiujiu didn't stop for a moment.After smoothing down the hair again, I suddenly discovered this strange problem.

As soon as she heard about eating, Meili's eyes lit up.How to put it, Bai Jiujiu's current status is much better than before, so the food should be much more refined.

However, as far as the eye can see, there is no food in the house.

Bai Jiujiu sighed, stroked the colorful soft fur again, and then said "I'll come back as soon as I go, you have to wait obediently" and left the room alone.

Chaiwang Mansion in the afternoon is very quiet, and it is even more quiet when you come to Yiyuan, as peaceful as a sleeping beauty.Bai Jiujiu walked on the path as if there was no one there, and ran towards the kitchen familiarly.

Seeing the two ebony doors open from a distance, he was overjoyed, just about to pick up his skirt and run faster, but suddenly a person came out of the door.Bai Jiujiu's steps only faltered for a moment, and he didn't take it seriously.

But that person blocked her way with his hand outstretched: "Yo, it's later than usual today. I wonder if the prince ordered Bai Jiujiu to add another dessert?"

"Master Li, here's a fish-flavored dumpling." Bai Jiujiu didn't even look at her, but greeted the chef who poked his head out of the back room and looked at her.

To change to a normal day, the chef must be nodding his head and busy with work.But today is not the case, the two thick eyebrows are tightly wrinkled, as if worried about something, looking at her with anxiety.

Bai Jiujiu thought he didn't understand, so he couldn't help repeating it.But the chef was still indifferent, but Chun Miao, who stopped her by the side, sneered.

"Okay, Bai Jiujiu, it's fine to lie to eat and drink in the name of the prince on weekdays. Now everyone in the palace knows that the prince is away, but you still dare to act like this. You are so daring, Still don't take this kitchen seriously, huh?"

"I..." Bai Jiujiu was speechless.Why did she forget about Xia Jinchai leaving the house?

"What are you? You have violated the family rules of the royal family just by falsely passing on the prince's order, and you should be held accountable for the crime!"

Chun Miao's eyebrows were raised, the corners of her lips curled up, and a malicious smile emerged from her delicate face.Bai Jiujiu, who was watching, was frightened and wanted to back away, but was pushed forward by a pair of hands on his back.Looking back, Xia Li stood behind her at some point, and at this moment, Chunmiao and Chunmiao blocked her way.

"Qiu Tong, what are you still doing in a daze. Why don't you hurry up and report to Butler Qi!"

After Qiutong came out of the small kitchen yard, Dongying who was beside her hurried over to lock the door.Then he also stood beside Bai Jiujiu, surrounding her even tighter.

Originally, Bai Jiujiu should have panicked.But when she heard that the person she met would be the old housekeeper, the stone in her heart fell to the ground with ease.The butler surnamed Qi is very kind, and he will never punish himself for such a trivial matter.Well, I will be fine.

However, when the two small doors were opened again, Steward Qi was greeted with a livid face and a burst of anger.He didn't even question, and as soon as he approached Bai Jiujiu, he waved his hand and ordered the two guards behind him to tie Bai Jiujiu down.

"Put into the hut, face the wall and think about your mistakes, no one is allowed to visit without my permission!"

"Yes!" The four servant girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter leaned over to answer, secretly delighted.

Poor Bai Jiujiu, who was locked in the messy abandoned wood house, was very annoyed.

Well, it's just imprisoning and thinking about the past, it's not too cruel.However, the sun has been setting for a long time, and the stomach growled again and again, why didn't the food delivery person come?Could it be that Steward Qi's real punishment is not to imprison himself in this dirty little place, but to punish himself for having no food?

Thinking of this, Bai Jiujiu really became worried.Standing up impatiently, sticking to the door, slapping the door panel and shouting: "I want to eat, I want to eat!"
