C27 Promotion and Safekeeping

When they saw Cheng Lolo come in, they all looked at her and broke out in a cold sweat for her.

[Isn't it just a fire? What is so difficult about it? I have never eaten pork. Haven't I seen pigs run?]

Cheng Luo Luo squatted in front of the stove and cursed in her heart, 'I'll add, add, add...'

The more firewood was added, the hotter the fire at the bottom of the pot burned. Soon, wisps of black smoke rose from the pot.

"Oh my, there's black smoke. The pot must be burnt. Look..."

"The pot is burning. Luo Er, do you even know how to burn a fire? Can't you see that the pot is burning? A wisp of black smoke came out, and a few people complained while crowding around.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"Cough, cough... Lorr, don't add more firewood!"

... ""

... " Oh no, there's too much firewood. Cheng Luo felt that something was wrong, Cough, cough..." She choked, too, and was about to pull away when she felt a hard pressure on her head, and then her whole head was pressed into the boiler, and for a moment she felt a burning sensation on the top of her head.

"Ah! Who wants to burn me to death!" She exclaimed and stepped back.

Damn it! It scalded me to death! My hair was burnt!

"It's me. So what?" It was Lemon.

Lemon was choking, and her face was blackened by the smoke. She glared at Cheng Lolo and said, "I think you did it on purpose, to burn us to death!"

"I wanted to burn you to death? You were the one who wanted to burn me to death!" Cheng Luoluo was also angry. Black smoke was still rising from her head. She covered her head and glared at Lemon, arguing with her.

"You, how dare you talk back to me, you..." At this moment, almost everyone in the kitchen choked.

Neither Cheng Luoluo nor Lemon took a step back. Just as the two of them were arguing, there was a noise outside.

"What happened in the kitchen?" It was Mammy Yan's voice. Mammy Yan had just received a report from Little Six that the matter of the sleeping incense had been thoroughly investigated.

"Senior Servant, this... this is Miss Luo Er..."

"Luo Er, it's Luo Er again... Go take a look..." Senior Servant Yan's eyebrows stood up and her face darkened again.

"What are you two doing?" Seeing the two people in the kitchen about to fight, Yan mama shouted with a dark face.

Seeing that it was Yan mama, Lemon immediately complained, "Yan mama, it's Luo'er, she..."

However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by Yan mama, "Enough! Are you guys preparing to tear down the Taixing Palace? How improper!"

Cheng Luoluo was very clever. Contrary to Lemon, not only did he not blame her, he admitted his mistake first, "Yan mama, this is all this servant's fault. This servant has never been able to light a fire since I was young."

Yan mama frowned, noticing the singed hair at Cheng Lolo's temples, and asked, "Lolo, what's wrong with your hair?"

The corners of Cheng Luoluo's mouth curled up in an almost unnoticeable evil smile, and then he calmly said, "Yan mama, this servant made a mistake. Steward Lemon taught this servant a lesson and pushed this servant's head into the fire. This servant only has himself to blame. Even if this servant was burned alive, this servant would not dare to complain!"

Hearing this, Cheng Luoluo deliberately aggravated the situation, causing Lemon to become anxious. She hurriedly explained, "Senior Yan, this servant did not push Luo'er on purpose, nor did I dare to burn her to death. Senior Yan, please do not listen to Luo'er's one-sided words."

You're anxious, you're anxious, you're a character created by that villainous author, and you still want to fight with me here? Heh, that depends on whether you have the ability or not, Cheng Luoluo thought to herself.

As expected, Sister Yan did not take Lemon's words to heart. She looked at her coldly and said, "Shut up, the Tai Chen Palace does not allow you to play these tricks behind her back. Lemon, the fact that you deliberately made things difficult for Lorr has already been spread among the servants. "

At the mention of Pearl, Lemon became even more anxious, "What happened to Pearl?"

"Hmph, today, when Little Liuzi was investigating the matter of the sleeping incense, he happened to run into Pearl, who was cleaning up the mess with a guilty conscience. Now that she has been chased out of the Imperial Palace by Prince Chen, why, Lemon, I trust you so much, but I didn't expect you to be as disappointing as Pearl!" Lemon's face drained of color when he heard about Pearl. He fell to his knees with a thud."

Pearl was chased out of the Tai Chen Palace?

This was undoubtedly great news for Cheng Luo Luo. Her dark eyes rolled and she silently knelt down as well, "Senior Sister Yan, today's matter cannot be blamed entirely on Lemon. This servant is clumsy and also responsible. Luo'er begs you not to blame her. If, if His Highness Prince Chen blames her, Luo'er is willing to bear it with him."

Cheng Luo Luo was very confident, why would Yuan Muchen blame him, it was just a kitchen, he had so many things to do now, how could he have the time to care about these trivial matters.

Lemon was in such a difficult situation today, yet she was still pleading on her behalf. Instantly, Yan mama had a whole new level of respect for Luo Er. Her eyes were full of praise.

Even Lemon was stunned. He turned his head and looked at Cheng Luo Luo in disbelief.

Cheng Luoluo's gaze was sincere, "I beg of you, Senior Yan. Please forgive Lemon. Please don't report this matter to His Highness Duke Chen."

Sigh, even Cheng Luo Luo admired himself for being so great.

Yan mama was silent for a moment. Since Cheng Luo Luo chose to forgive herself, she could only give up.

"Forget it, since Luo Er doesn't want to pursue this matter, then let's just let it go. But Lemon, remember, if something like this happens again in the future, don't let it go!" Grandma Yan was extremely disappointed. Cheng Luo-Luo knew that the more disappointed she was, the more she had high hopes for her.

"Yes, Lemon knows his mistake." Lemon slumped to the ground, and Cheng Lolo saw that not only had she made a good impression on Auntie Yan, but Lemon also felt that he owed her a favor. But she didn't want Lemon to repay her in the future.

Lemon's attitude toward her had undergone a complete change, and in her work she had gone from being a fire maid to a bookkeeper, commonly known in modern times as a custodian, responsible for the daily import and export of vegetables and flour goods from the kitchen.

It was another night. The moon hung high in the sky of the Tai Chen Palace, silent and cold. There were too many things happening during the day. Everyone was busy. At night, they all went back to their rooms to rest.

Cheng Luo Luo simply washed the dirt off her face. Today, she heard that there was a hot spring in the Tai Chen Palace. As planned, she quietly went out.

The Tai Chen Palace was much bigger than Yuan Muling's Hall of Justice. She wandered around for a long time before she found the hot spring in the corner of the backyard.

The pool of the hot spring was so large that Cheng Lolo could see the steam rising from it from a distance. As he approached, he saw that the bottom of the pool was clear and fresh.

The owner of the hot spring had obviously built it in such a secluded place on purpose. With the towering rockery as a shelter, the shade of the trees, and the fact that the night was dark and windy, she didn't have to worry about anyone coming to see her naked.

Cheng Lolo hung the lamp on the tree, then folded her clothes and laid them neatly on the edge of the pool. Finally, she carefully walked down the sloping steps into the water.

The warm water began to rise from the soles of her feet, and the cool autumn air, which had been a little chilly, warmed her from the soles of her feet to the rest of her body.

Cheng Luoluo found a comfortable position in the pool and leaned against it. Her long black hair was hanging loosely on her body, and her smooth body was soaked in the warm spring water, which made her skin look even more creamy. Droplets of water were like pearls, falling down along the lines of her skin and giving off an attractive pink luster under the faint moonlight. Cheng Luoluo lowered her eyes in pleasure. She used both hands to wash off the dirt on her face with the spring water, revealing her original fresh and refined face.

She had been to many hot springs in the real world, but for some reason she had never felt so comfortable. The water seemed to have a hint of sweetness to it, and it felt silky against her skin.

The comfortable feeling became stronger, and Cheng Luo Luo closed her eyes and started to feel sleepy.

However, at this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of flowing water from the other side of the hot spring.

Cheng Luoluo immediately opened her eyes alertly. She got up and swam forward, trying to see through the steam.

In the next moment, before she could do anything else, she heard a gasp coming from in front of her, "Who is it?"

Cheng Luo Luo was shocked. It was a man's voice, and it sounded very familiar.

It seemed to be Yuan Mu Chen.

The unfriendly tone made Cheng Luo Luo suddenly wake up from her daze. She subconsciously crossed her arms in front of her chest and held her stiff body.

Why was Yuan Mu Chen here?

No, even though she also wanted to use this opportunity to see if Yuan Muchen had the Soaring Dragon Thorn on him, she could not let him recognize her like this. If Yuan Muchen recognized her before she discovered the Soaring Dragon Thorn, she would definitely be sent back to the palace by him, and all her efforts would be for naught.
