Chapter 116
Ming Xi reluctantly helped Cai Ying out of a trick because he took the gold from others, but it was very hurtful.

Cai Ying didn't hesitate at all after listening, and thanked in a hurry: "Thank you, Mr. Xi! Your great kindness and virtue are so small that I will never forget it."

After finishing speaking, Cai Ying took another ingot of gold from her bosom and stuffed it into Ming Xi's hand.

Rootless people like Mingxi have always been particularly obsessed with yellow and white things, because they always feel that this is their life's guarantee.

Since Mingxi was at the emperor's side, he had always been used to this kind of benefit from other people, and after a long time, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

Accepting the ingot of gold frankly, Ming Xi nodded to Cai Ying, "Then follow me to answer Long Live Lord."

Cai Ying swept away the despair just now, and immediately followed Mingxi to the Winter Yang Palace, and when she saw Long Chenxiu, she knelt down on the ground with a plop and kowtowed vigorously.

"My minister pays homage to the emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Cai Ying, as the chief manager of the imperial dining room, is a fourth-rank official, so there is nothing wrong with calling herself a humble minister.

But to Long Chenxiu's ears now, these two words were extremely harsh, so he asked in a cold voice: "Do you still know that you are a courtier?"

With just this sentence, Cai Ying was frightened into a cold sweat.God, does the emperor mean to dismiss him?

No!It was with great difficulty that he climbed from a small cook in the imperial dining room to where he is today, and finally won the appreciation of the Queen Mother. He still has the monstrous wealth and honor that he has not enjoyed, so he must not be dismissed just like this.

So, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he used the trick Ming Xi taught him.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I have been wronged!"

Long Chenxiu's frown deepened, as if looking down on an ant, he looked at Cai Ying who was kneeling on the ground and kept kowtowing.

"What is wrong with you? Isn't the food box in the imperial dining room under your jurisdiction? Isn't it your order to neglect Concubine Xian?"

Hearing the emperor's straightforward reprimand, Cai Yinghui's bowels turned green.If he had known that there would be such consequences, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he would not have done such stupid things.

It's a pity that it's too late to regret anything now, so I can only find a way to remedy it.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed the fault of this minister for not being able to control his subordinates! However, this matter really did not come from the order of this minister! It was all the people below who were behind the scenes, and I was kept in the dark!"

Cai Ying stared and talked nonsense, this is the contingency strategy Mingxi taught him.

Ineffective supervision and intentionally instigating that are absolutely different charges.As long as Cai Ying killed himself without knowing about it, and then pushes another ghost to come out, at most he will be punished by the emperor, which is much better than losing his official position or even his life.

Long Chenxiu saw that Cai Ying was shirking responsibility, his eyes became colder, and he asked in a serious tone: "Oh? Then tell me, who in your imperial dining room is so brave? Dare to take such leftovers? Giving cold broiler to the empress of the Winter Yang Palace, it must be so boring!"

The sweat on Cai Ying's forehead had already dripped to the ground, but he didn't even dare to wipe it off. He muttered and said the name of the dead ghost.
