Chapter 201 Detection, Integration

Madam Wang asked, "Did you tell Chef Jiang that I was worried that she would take my place? Did you say that I was jealous of her? Did you say that I thought she was young and wanted to cheat her?"

Chef Li was stunned for a long time, and when she came to her senses, she quickly explained, "Madam Wang, did you misunderstand? How could I say these things behind your back?"

"Someone must have deliberately tried to sow discord. Madam Wang, don't let others trick you." Chef Li said seriously.

Jiang Youning came over upon hearing this, and looked at Chef Li with a half-smile, "You said all these to me, and I was only telling Madam Wang the truth. As for who is trying to sow discord, I know it very well. "

Chef Li saw Jiang Youning coming out from behind Madam Wang, and her face suddenly turned pale. Madam Wang raised her hand and slapped her upon hearing this. "Pa!" Madam Wang had been doing rough labor since

she was a child , and she had considerable strength in her hands. This slap made Chef Li's head tilt to one side, and half of her face was swollen. "When did I ever tell you these things? It was you who said in front of me that Chef Jiang was very scheming at such a young age and wanted to take my position. But you said that in front of me and then ran to Chef Jiang to say bad things about me. I didn't realize that she was so honest on weekdays, but she was so scheming and a master at sowing discord. If Chef Jiang hadn't told me, I would still be kept in the dark. " Chef Li covered her face with guilt. Who knew that Chef Jiang would run to Madam Wang and say these things? Madam Wang snorted, "From today on, you will be responsible for chopping wood and washing vegetables. If you dare to be lazy, I will ask the housekeeper to send you away. " How could Chef Li dare to refute? She covered her face and walked out. When she passed by Jiang Youning, she glared at her fiercely . After Chef Li left, Jiang Youning walked up to Madam Wang, "Madam Wang." Madam Wang saw Jiang Youning, and thought of her actions in the past two days, she felt embarrassed. She became estranged from Jiang Youning because she listened to Chef Li's words. But Jiang Youning did not believe what Chef Li said, and came to her to explain. She didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Youning. Now she feels very ashamed. Jiang Youning explained: "I just came here to make quick money. After making enough money in the princess's mansion, I will go back to Daxia. How could I compete with you, Madam Wang, for a position? " Madam Wang felt even more ashamed when she heard this," I was the one who believed the slander, misunderstood you, and even alienated you, don't take it to heart." Jiang Youning smiled indifferently when she heard this: "It doesn't matter, Madam Wang, it's good that you know the truth." The misunderstanding was resolved, and Madam Wang felt ashamed, and always wanted to make up to Jiang Youning, so when she saw her washing vegetables, she pulled her up. "Look, your hands are all frostbitten, I'll let others wash them for you, and you just need to be responsible for cooking." Jiang Youning was willing to hear that she didn't have to wash the vegetables, of course. Washing vegetables in the winter would make your hands really cold. She said embarrassedly: "Then I'm sorry to trouble Madam Wang." "What's the trouble? It's just a matter of words." Madam Wang said and called Tian girl over, "Go wash the vegetables. " Miss Tian had just arrived at the mansion not long ago, so she did her work according to Madam Wang's arrangements. With someone helping to wash the vegetables, Jiang Youning was freer again. In the evening, when Yuanbao came, Jiang Youning told him about meeting Xie Jing today. "Xie Jing wanted me to leave, but I was a little worried. His injuries seemed to be very serious. When I saw him today, he looked very bad." Yuanbao had always wanted Jiang Youning to come out, and now that Xie Jing had said so, he also advised: "Miss, you'd better come out. Xue Yi and your eldest brother are also on the way. We will rescue Xie Jing as soon as possible." Jiang Youning was silent for a while, and said, "If I come out, Xie Jing won't be able to eat the food I cook. " Yuanbao was a little angry when he heard that. He was angry that she didn't take care of her hands. They were frozen into what? "He hasn't eaten for half a year, but he didn't starve to death." Jiang Youning was a little worried at first, but she was stunned when she heard Yuanbao's words. Since she met Yuanbao, she has never seen him angry. Uh! Maybe he wasn't angry in front of her when he was angry? Without waiting for Jiang Youning to speak, Yuanbao held up her hands and said, "Look at your hands, do you still want them?" Jiang Youning looked down at her hands, which were red and swollen, and the slender knuckles were thicker than usual, a little ugly! She also understood that Yuanbao was worried about her hands and wanted her to go out earlier so that she wouldn't have to work. She raised her head and looked at Yuanbao, "Madam Wang doesn't let me wash vegetables anymore. I am only responsible for cooking. " Yuanbao was unmoved," Come out anyway, now we know it's Xie Jing inside, we will find a way to rescue Xie Jing." Jiang Youning suddenly had an idea, "I can work with you from inside and outside." Yuanbao: "..." Jiang Youning knew from Yuanbao's expression that he disagreed. "Then tomorrow, I will find a way to talk to Xie Jing and tell him, otherwise if I leave suddenly without him knowing, he will mistakenly think that something happened to me." Yuanbao thought what she said made sense, "Then the day after tomorrow, you find a reason to come out." Jiang Youning hesitated for a moment, nodded, "Yeah. " Yuanbao looked down at her hands, which were red and swollen. Every time he looked at them, he felt heartbroken. The next day, Xue Yi and Jiang Qibai came to the agreed Longfu Inn. The moment he saw Yuanbao, Xue Yi couldn't help but look at him a few more times. He always felt that Yuanbao was not like an ordinary person, and his temperament could not be concealed even if he was wearing coarse cloth clothes. The general saw it, so he sent him to investigate, but found nothing. "Yuanbao, who are you?" Yuanbao looked at Xue Yi calmly, "You will know in the future. " Only three people know that he has returned this time, and it is not the time to reveal his identity. He will not reveal his whereabouts and identity until the last moment. Xue Yi was even more curious about Yuan Bao's identity after hearing this. His intuition told him that Yuan Bao was not an ordinary person. Jiang Qibai looked left and right, but did not see his sister Jiang Youning. He looked at Yuan Bao in confusion, "Where is my sister? Isn't she with you?"

Xue Yi looked at Yuan Bao in confusion.

Yuan Bao said, "She is in the Princess's residence, and Xie Jing is also in the Princess's residence. Let's go in first."

Jiang Qibai also felt that outside was not the place to talk, so he nodded.

The three of them walked into the inn one after another and went up to the second floor guest room.

After entering, Jiang Qibai couldn't wait to ask, "What on earth is going on?"

Yuan Bao told Jiang Qibai and Xue Yi about what had happened recently.

Before Yuan Bao finished speaking, Jiang Qibai got angry, "My sister went in to wash vegetables and cook? She has never touched water. There is no natural gas in the winter. It would be strange if she didn't get frostbite!"

Xue Yi found that Jiang Qibai was still very humble and polite on weekdays, but he would easily go berserk when he met his sister.

He said gently, "Now is not the time to be angry. The general must be heartbroken."

Jiang Qibai snorted, "For whom did my sister go in there to suffer? If he doesn't feel sorry, I'll let him go!" Xue

Yi: "..."

Yuan Bao: "..."

"What's the use of feeling sorry? My sister has been spoiled since she was a child. She doesn't even know what frostbite is."

Jiang Qibai couldn't imagine what his sister's fair and delicate hands had become. Xue Yi

said, "So the most important thing now is to rescue the general, so that the lady will feel at ease to leave the princess's mansion. The frostbite on her hands must be taken good care of."

Yuan Bao also said, "Xue Yi is right. I asked her to find a reason to come out tomorrow, for fear that she would worry that Xie Jing would be reluctant to come out. "

Jiang Qibai stood up suddenly, "No, I have to go see her tonight. I can't sleep peacefully if I don't see her with my own eyes."

Yuanbao reminded coldly: "The princess's mansion is heavily guarded and there are many guards. You can't get in, and you will be discovered even if you get in."

Jiang Qibai sat down a little frustrated when he heard that.

Xue Yi looked at Jiang Qibai and comforted him: "I'll go in tonight and help you take a look."

Jiang Qibai raised his eyes and glanced at Xue Yi, but was not comforted.

Xue Yi retracted his gaze and looked at Yuanbao, "Tell me, how strict is the guarding."

Yuanbao said: "The wall of the princess's mansion is one meter higher than the average wall. There are people guarding every section, and the guards are changed every three hours. The courtyard where Xie Jing lives has three times as many guards as other places. This is why I couldn't get close several times. "

Only then did Jiang Qibai understand why Yuanbao said he couldn't get in, and even if he did he would be discovered.

He didn't have the internal strength of Qinggong, so he couldn't even climb over a three-meter wall, let alone avoid the guards.

Upon hearing this, Xue Yi also felt that the security was too strict.

"Then I'll go with you tonight and see if we can meet the general."

Yuanbao nodded, "Okay. "

Inside the princess's mansion, Jiang Youning had resolved the misunderstanding with Madam Wang, so when she offered to deliver the meal, Madam Wang readily agreed. After

making breakfast, Jiang Youning hurried to Yunxuan Courtyard with the food box, fearing that if she was late, the breakfast would get cold and not taste good.

Braving the cold wind, Jiang Youning walked through the moon-shaped door in the corridor and arrived at the gate of Yunxuan Courtyard.

According to custom, they must be questioned and inspected.

After the inspection, they will be allowed to pass only after they are confirmed to have no problems.

Jiang Youning was also used to it. Just as the guards were checking, the princess and her entourage came slowly.

Perhaps feeling guilty, Jiang Youning lowered her eyes slightly and sighed in her heart, why did she come at this time when she could come at any other time?

When the princess came closer, Jiang Youning followed the guards to salute the princess.

"Greetings, Princess. "

The princess glanced at the food box in Jiang Youning's hand, and when she was about to look away, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Youning's face.

"Are you the cook who can cook for Da Xia?"

Jiang Youning had just breathed a sigh of relief, but because of the princess's question, she was worried again.

She lowered her brows and nodded, "Princess, it is me."

The princess listened to the voice, which was a little hoarse and not very pleasant.

"Raise your head and let me have a look."

Jiang Youning rolled her eyes in her heart. We are all women. What's so good about us? People who don't know would think you are a man and are attracted by your beauty.

The princess ordered, and she raised her head and looked at the princess as she was told.

The princess looked at Jiang Youning's face without makeup, which was cute and tender, with beautiful almond eyes and a watery complexion. She

didn't look very old.

"How old are you? "

Jiang Youning replied, "I'm fifteen years old."

The princess frowned when she heard the word fifteen. At such a young age, his cooking skills were so good.

"You are from Da Xia, so why did you come to Chenyi Kingdom?"

Jiang Youning closed her eyes and lied, "My parents died last year, so I thought of coming to Chenyi to seek refuge with distant relatives, but I haven't found any relatives after some time here, so I thought of going back to Da Xia to make some money."

The princess nodded when she heard it, "Go in, don't let the breakfast get cold."

"Yes, Princess. "Jiang Youning walked in slowly carrying the food box, secretly relieved in her heart, the princess also liked to check the household registration.

The princess looked at Jiang Youning's figure and walked in thoughtfully.

When she reached the door, Jiang Youning was stopped again. It was Aunt Chen who took the food box from her.

She could only wait obediently at the door in the cold wind.

Aunt Chen had just taken the food box and saw the princess coming, so she stepped forward and saluted, "Princess."

The princess ordered: "Go in, don't let him get hungry."

"Yes, princess. "Aunt Chen walked in carrying a food box.

The princess walked up the stairs with her skirt lifted. When she passed by Jiang Youning, she glanced at her, then retracted her gaze and walked in.

The door was then closed by the maid.

Jiang Youning raised her head and looked at the closed door, sighing helplessly. It seemed that she would not be able to see Xie Jing.

Inside the house, Xie Jing was eating the breakfast made by Aning for him, but the princess sat opposite him and kept staring at him, which made people very unhappy.

But he couldn't say anything.

How could Xie Jing have ever been so angry?

If it wasn't for the breakfast made by Aning, he would not be able to eat a single bite.

After finishing eating, Xie Jing put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, looked up at the princess, "I feel a little bored in the mansion. This is my first time in Chenyi Country, and I want to go out for a walk."

The princess felt that what Xie Jing said made sense. It was indeed a little boring to be bored in the mansion every day, not to mention that Xie Jing was a general, which made it even more boring.

She agreed very readily, "Okay, I'll ask the doctor to come and take a look at your injury later, and I'll take you out of the mansion tomorrow."

Xie Jing nodded and agreed.

After the bowl and chopsticks on the table were cleaned up, the princess asked the servants to call the doctor.

After half a cup of tea, the doctor hurried in with a medicine box.

The princess ordered: "Take the general's pulse and see how serious his injuries are."

"Yes, Princess." The doctor skillfully took out the examination pad and took Xie Jing's pulse.

He frowned, a little puzzled, "It was strong and stable two days ago, how come it suddenly got worse?"

The princess asked worriedly, "Why did it suddenly get worse?"

Xie Jing guessed, "It might be because of my practice. Yesterday, I saw that the injury was almost healed, so I practiced for a while, and found something wrong, so I stopped practicing."

The doctor heard it and said, "The general's injury is very serious. It is not suitable to practice in a short period of time. It will aggravate the internal injury and it will be difficult to heal."

Xie Jing said, "Thank you for the reminder, doctor. I will pay attention to it in the future."

The princess looked at Xie Jing. He looked calm on the surface, but he must be very anxious in his heart.

My father's condition has not improved yet. I am afraid it will be too late to wait for my father to grant me marriage.

That night, Xue Yi and Yuanbao sneaked into the princess's mansion in night clothes.

They first went to the side room in the west wing to find Jiang Youning.

Yuanbao had been there several times and was already familiar with the place.

Jiang Youning had also been waiting at the agreed place early. When she saw the two figures, she was stunned.

Until the two came in and she vaguely saw Xue Yi, she showed a look of surprise.

When the two came closer, she asked, "Is my eldest brother here too?"

Xue Yi said, "He's in the guest inn."

Jiang Youning understood when she heard it that her eldest brother's boxing and kicking skills were incomparable to ancient martial arts, and it was safest to stay in the guest inn.

Yuanbao said, "Xiao Yu is still on the way and should be here tomorrow."

Good night, babies!
