Chapter 1083: Chapter 1083 Trembling_1 Chapter 1083: Chapter 1083 Trembling_1 The matter clarified, Yang Wenxiao was reluctant to stay in the side hall any longer. He returned to the Main Hall with Qiao Xiaomai and even comforted her, “The queen has been poisoned, which is why she behaved that way. You mustn’t take it to heart.”
“Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one in the Imperial Palace can fra you.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai smiled, saying it was nothing.
But inside, she felt as bitter as if she had chewed on coptis, an urge to cry welling up within her.
Dammit, she had always thought the royal family loved her cooking skills and had even basked in self-satisfaction, but reality harshly slapped her in the face.
She had been on the queen’s radar even before arriving in Capital City, and as soon as she entered the Imperial Palace, the queen frad her.
What a terrifying Capital City.
Soon enough, Tong Sanlang and Ren Zhong returned.
Ren Zhong handed the Military Order Token to Yang Wenxiao, who instructed him, “Take your n and secretly strengthen the palace’s security. Anyone caught gossiping, deal with them directly.”
He had imposed a gag order regarding today’s events on everyone who knew.
But with so many people involved, there was no guarantee soone wouldn’t let sothing slip through loose lips.
To avoid alarming the enemy, Ren Zhong had to take on the hard work of managing more people.
Ren Zhong complied and left the Main Hall.
Yang Wenxiao gestured for Tong Sanlang to sit down. “You’ve worked hard too. Have so tea, and I will discuss future arrangents.”
Tong Sanlang consented, sat down, poured a cup of tea, and listened to Yang Wenxiao’s arrangents for him and Qiao Xiaomai to go to the Imperial Kitchen.
Qiao Xiaomai had agreed, so naturally, he had no objections and nodded in agreent.
“Let’s start tonight, just say that you enjoyed the pig-killing al at noon so much that you two will be managing the Imperial Kitchen.”
Emperor Yongan and the others had been deeply poisoned; they could not ingest any more poison. Qiao Xiaomai had to take charge of the Imperial Kitchen.
“Xiaomai has just been through a scare, you two should go back and rest in the rear hall. Don’t worry about anything else; just be on ti at the Imperial Kitchen in the evening,” Yang Wenxiao said.
Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang consented, left the Main Hall, and returned to the rear hall.
When they got back to their room and closed the door, Qiao Xiaomai imdiately stretched out her arms and hugged Tong Sanlang tightly, “This place is so frightening!”
“What happened?” Tong Sanlang asked, his left arm holding her while his right hand gently patted her back.
“You don’t know how wicked the queen is!” Qiao Xiaomai’s small face buried in his chest, she rattled on about what had just happened, “It’s a sha that I prepared all sorts of food so carefully before, and she just treated it like dog shit!”
Tong Sanlang, “… She, the queen of a nation, actually pretended to be poisoned to fra you?!”
“Exactly! Can you believe how evil she is? Before, she said the Dried Sweet Potatoes we made looked like mouse droppings, and now she turned around and sched against us too, such a wicked woman!”
“I want to go back to the manor!”
Tong Sanlang patted her back again, consoling her, “Don’t worry, with the retired emperor around, her sches won’t succeed.”
“She didn’t succeed this ti, but what about next ti? The retired emperor is part of her family, after all.”
Qiao Xiaomai truly did not want to stay in Capital City any longer. With a queen who had it in for her, there was no way her trip to Capital City could end well.
“But judging by the retired emperor’s actions today, he’s on our side,” Tong Sanlang said, embracing her shoulder and sitting down on the bed, “Don’t worry. From now on, we’ll just stay in Da’an Palace and cook honestly, and as soon as the retired emperor’s ninetieth birthday is over, we’ll go straight ho.”
He also didn’t want to ddle in the affairs of Capital City, but now that they were here, they could only wait until Yang Wenxiao’s ninetieth birthday to leave.
Just be a bit more careful in the future, and getting through this period shouldn’t be a problem.
