Chapter 84: Melts in your mouth

Honglian muttered, "Don't leave tonight, okay?"

Cheng Jiao felt a little regretful as he watched the sky darken.

Stroking Honglian's jade back, looking at her disheveled upper body with smooth, white skin.

"Your father knows that I am in the palace. If he knew that I stayed out all night at your place, he would probably scold you for not observing palace etiquette."

Honglian held Cheng Jiao's wrist which was placed on her foot.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid."

Cheng Jiao pinched it gently, causing Honglian to moan.

"How can I bear to see you being scolded? We still have a long future ahead of us, there is no need to rush."

Honglian was touched and looked at Cheng Jiao with eyes full of affection.

"Then next time you come, come secretly, okay? I'll wait for you here."

Honglian said with some melancholy.

Cheng Jiao straightened her messy skirt.

He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll sneak in next time. Don't be afraid."

Honglian hugged Cheng Jiao's chest and said, "As long as you come, I'm not afraid."

Cheng Jiao held Honglian's hand and said, "Wait for me."

Honglian looked at Cheng Jiao's back as he walked away, with regret and expectation in her eyes, and began to fantasize about the next time she would be with Cheng Jiao again.

But she needs to learn some woman's things first, so that Cheng Jiao won't always say that she is like an unripe peach, full of immaturity.

Cheng Jiao registered with the guard at the palace gate, walked out and took a deep breath, which made him so angry that he almost couldn't get out of Honglian.

He had not forgotten his second purpose of coming to the palace - to meet Lady Mingzhu in private.

Quietly climb over the palace wall from a secret place outside the palace.

This was the place Madam Mingzhu specifically told him. There would be absolutely no outsiders at this time, and it led directly to her bedroom.

Madam Mingzhu was preparing the antidote in her bedroom, trying her luck before Cheng Jiao arrived.

Cheng Jiao sent her a message through her trusted maid in the afternoon, saying that he would come over tonight and asked her to serve him well.

She was unwilling to be controlled by Cheng Jiao like this. Even if they cooperated, she had to take the initiative. At least they had to be equal. She was not like a slave like now, unable to resist her master.

Cheng Jiao pushed open the door of the bedroom, and Madam Mingzhu reluctantly put down the various medicinal materials. This poison was very tricky, and even with her ability, it would take more than a few days to crack it.

"Madam Mingzhu, have you prepared the antidote?"

Cheng Jiao smelled the faint scent of medicinal herbs on Madam Mingzhu beside the bed and said jokingly.

He was confident that as for the Xishi poison prepared by Zi Nu, unless the head of the medical family was here to personally detoxify it, no one in the world could crack Zi Nu's poison in just a few days.

Madam Mingzhu took a deep breath, "What are you doing here so late at night, young master?"

Cheng Jiao touched Madam Mingzhu's round chin.

"It's for you, of course."

Cheng Jiao considerately helped Madam Mingzhu take off her purple palace skirt, but she still liked the bat-shaped lingerie so well.

Madam Mingzhu closed her eyes and let Cheng Jiao take off her clothes.

Cheng Jiao carried her to the bed and pinched her mouth open.

"Come on, it's time for candy."

Madam Mingzhu pursed her lips, changed her mind, and opened her mouth.

Cheng Jiao nodded with satisfaction and looked at Madam Mingzhu's charming eyes.

"What does it smell like?"

Madam Mingzhu's heart tightened, and she said in a deep voice based on her experience in making poison.

"no taste."

Cheng Jiao pulled Madam Mingzhu's cheek with both hands.

"No taste? Did you eat it?"

Madam Mingzhu secretly hated Cheng Jiao as he smiled at her mouth, and swallowed the pill hidden under her tongue in shame.

Mrs. Mingzhu felt a hint of sweetness and felt helpless. "Is it delicious?"

Cheng Jiao said with a smile.

Madam Mingzhu sighed: "Is it fun to tease me?"

Cheng Jiao said innocently, "I asked you to eat candy, how can that be teasing you?"

Madam Mingzhu glared at Cheng Jiao.

"Take the things out."

Cheng Jiao grinned, obediently took out a small porcelain bottle and poured out a pill.

"Here, you don't have to swallow it. It melts in your mouth. It's very worry-free."

Mrs. Mingzhu had a blank expression on her face. She closed her eyes and threw the pill into her mouth. It melted in her mouth.

Cheng Jiao watched Mrs. Mingzhu put the pill in her mouth and nodded with satisfaction.

This is also Xishi poison, a variant of it that requires adding an extra herb to the original antidote.

Madam Mingzhu looked at Cheng Jiao.

"I've already eaten, what else do you want?"

Cheng Jiao caressed Madam Mingzhu, the notorious tide-wearing banshee's straight and tender thighs.

"There is one more thing. Find out how much money Ji Wuye has made and where the money is in Jubao Pavilion."

Madam Mingzhu nodded: "Okay, are you going to kill Ji Wuye?"

Cheng Jiao untied the black ribbon on Mrs. Mingzhu's legs and threw it to the ground.

"Ji Wuye will die, you don't have to worry."

Madam Mingzhu looked at her bare thighs and Cheng Jiao's dishonest big hands.

Is she worried? She wishes Cheng Jiao and Ji Wuye would die together.

But he said, "Do you need my help?"

Cheng Jiao picked up the high-heeled sandals that Madam Mingzhu had taken off, held Madam Mingzhu's delicate jade feet, put them on her, and tied the straps tightly so that they would not fall off while he was doing it.

Madam Mingzhu frowned. What was Cheng Jiao doing? If he wanted to do it, he should do it quickly. Who was he going to torture?

"You don't need to take action. Just stay in the palace and remember not to expose yourself."

Cheng Jiao looked at Madam Mingzhu's smooth thighs and the purple high heels on her white jade feet, as if he was appreciating a work of art.

"What if Ji Wuye asked me to report you to the King of Han and embezzled the gold coins I invested?"

Cheng Jiao looked at Madam Mingzhu's long legs and felt that something was missing. When he saw the black silk belt that had just been thrown away on the ground, his eyes lit up.

"This is your business, but he shouldn't have the chance to instruct you to do this."

Madam Mingzhu frowned, wondering what this boy was going to do. He took a black ribbon and tied a bow around her ankles. It made her feel very uncomfortable and she wanted to break it with force.

"Why are you tying my feet?"

Cheng Jiao shifted his gaze from Madam Mingzhu's delicate jade feet and looked at Madam Mingzhu with a nervous look.

"Don't be afraid, but add some fun."

Mrs. Mingzhu twisted her body unnaturally, which made Cheng Jiao very excited.

He leaned over and put his face close to Mrs. Mingzhu, breathing hot air into her ear.

"Then let's get started."

Madam Mingzhu closed her eyes. She didn't expect that she would lose her first time in this way. She felt sad, regretful, and had some indescribable feelings.

She did not resist, but instead had a hint of expectation. For a woman, the loneliness in the deep palace for a long time was really unbearable and the most torturous thing.

Just as Cheng Jiao was preparing to take further action, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the palace gate.

Mrs. Mingzhu was startled when she heard the familiar footsteps.

Cheng Jiao was speechless. No way, how did he get exposed?
