Chen Mo entered the kitchen and roughly pushed everyone out, then began to arrange the kitchen ingredients in a proper manner.
After a moment, noticing that there was no other movement around him, he quietly approached the door and blew a whistle gently.
"Shh...this way"
Above the kitchen, Li Yueyue's head peeked out mysteriously, her eyes darting around as if she were a thief.
Chen Mo returned to his previous position to continue fiddling with the ingredients, while Li Yueyue also sensibly retracted her head. The two did not speak much, but were full of tacit understanding.
"Is there an informer set up around Yun Chunqiu?"
Chen Mo was straightforward, "Is there an informer set up around Yun Chunqiu?" The kitchen was sealed off, outsiders couldn't enter. Even if Yun Chunqiu wanted to monitor himself, there was no way to do so. This was also the reason why he had to drag Li Wu Xin into the inn after seeing it.
Nevertheless, for safety's sake, he decided to inquire about the situation around him.
Li Yueyue replied without hesitation, "The Holy Maiden is guarding the inn's main gate, all the informers are inside the inn, there are none of her informers outside..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mo put down the ingredients in his hands and excitedly ran towards the window.
"Wait a moment"
Li Yueyue immediately called out to Chen Mo, who stopped in his tracks and pulled back his feet at the window, looking up at the kitchen above with a puzzled expression.
"Is there anything else?"
"Although the Holy Maiden's informers are not in the inn, the situation in the Eastern District has changed recently. All the guards from the Western District have arrived. If you try to escape now, you will definitely be under surveillance by numerous guards..."
"What?"
Chen Mo was surprised, "How did there suddenly appear so many experts in the Eastern District?"
"And there's one more thing"
Li Yueyue thought for a moment and then decided to reveal the truth, "Xin already knows about our business. She even had a talk with me. She told me to cut off contact with you, otherwise, she would inform the emperor..."
"This Ning Xin..."
Chen Mo secretly shook his head in disbelief, "This Ning Xin..." It made sense that there were suddenly so many guards in the Eastern District. Apparently, it was all Ning Xin's fault.
"I'll say no more. If Xin discovers any contact between us again, I'll be in danger. Brother Chen, let's end this matter here. I'm leaving."
Li Yueyue said that and immediately disappeared.
Chen Mo sighed helplessly after a moment of silence, it seems that to escape from Li Wu Xin's territory is not so easy.
Chen Mo continued to fiddle with the ingredients in his hands, and now, having lost his focus, he had to start cooking with full concentration.
After half an hour, Chen Mo had prepared three dishes and a soup, and then served them one by one in front of Li Wu Xin.
Li Wu Xin, with a delighted look and a hint of affection in her eyes, gazed at Chen Mo adoringly.
"Go ahead and eat."
Chen Mo smiled and said.
Li Wu Xin nodded lightly and took the chopsticks to wander around the table. The three dishes and one soup looked good in appearance and smelled nice. The taste was not particularly stunning, as Chen Mo did not often cook, his culinary skills were not too high, and the limited ingredients greatly restricted his culinary skills.
The food was not particularly delicious, but as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just one bite, and Li Wu Xin's face immediately lit up with happiness, as if she were eating the most delicious food in the world.
Emotional value maximized, even Chen Mo couldn't help but doubt if he had suddenly become a culinary god.
Then, Chen Mo took a bite of the dish. "Mm...it's just average."
"Brother, this is the tastiest food that Wu Xin has ever had..."
Li Wu Xin praised him extensively, almost convincing him that he had become a culinary god.
The number of people in the inn suddenly increased. After hearing her words, they all curiously leaned forward, unconsciously swallowing their saliva and eager to taste the delicious food that the Emperor praised highly.
Noticing this commotion, Li Wu Xin immediately looked up and glared at the crowd with a gaze full of protectiveness, like a mother cat guarding her prey, her expression one of vigilance.
The crowd felt the chilling gaze and immediately retreated reluctantly.
The meal was conducted under an ominous atmosphere. Li Wu Xin felt happy to have Chen Mo cook for her, while Chen Mo felt miserable about being unable to escape.
Swoosh—
Suddenly, a series of noisy commotion erupted on the streets, sounding chaotic and like something was happening.
The disturbance outside interrupted the tranquility of the inn. Li Wu Xin raised an eyebrow slightly, her expression displeased as she gently raised her hand, but outside the window, a dark figure jumped inside.
The black-clad spy immediately knelt down and bowed respectfully upon entering.
"What is happening outside?"
Li Wu Xin asked with an icy tone.
"The emperor, there are many people in the street who collapsed without warning. According to the investigation, they were under the influence of witchcraft. It seems that someone is deliberately causing chaos..."
In the displeased gaze of Li Wu Xin, the spy quickly recounted the general outline of the situation.
Li Wu Xin's face changed 'abruptly', especially when she heard the words 'witchcraft' - it seemed like she remembered something, and she immediately stood up, smiling brightly at Chen Mo and said, "Brother, you stay here. It seems like an enemy has come looking for trouble. I'll go handle it right away."
After speaking, Li Wu Xin's figure vanished into the inn.
"This is an opportunity..."
Chen Mo immediately realized that Li Wu Xin had left, and the Eastern District was in chaos. This was the perfect opportunity for him to escape.
Chen Mo rushed to the corner of the stairs on the second floor. From there, he could see everything happening on the first floor. He could easily spot Yun Chunqiu, who was trying to figure out how to deal with him.
"Why are you all just standing there? There's chaos outside. It must be enemies who have come looking for trouble. Although the emperor has gone to quell the situation, the enemy is in the dark and the emperor is in the light. If someone were to harm the emperor, she might not be able to handle everything on her own..."
Chen Mo quickly explained the situation in a few sentences.
Upon hearing this, Yun Chunqiu, who was already somewhat concerned about the disturbance outside, paused slightly and was momentarily stunned. His face immediately turned pale as he called out to the crowd and hurriedly left the inn.
"No, I have to go and take a look as well. I can't let Wu Xin get into any trouble."
Chen Mo added fuel to the fire, causing the confused crowd to stumble and hurry out of all directions, running towards the street in a panic.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Mo quickly jumped down from the second floor, checked the situation at the door for a while, and then slipped out as soon as he found no one noticed him.
A crisp 'snap' sound came, and Chen Mo felt someone's hand pressing on his shoulder. His body stiffened abruptly; he hadn't expected to be caught after all this.
Standing behind Chen Mo, Long Feiyao, dressed in white and with a gentlemanly appearance, was overjoyed. He finally found Chen Mo, and it wasn't in vain for them to travel between the Eastern and Western Districts. They also made sure that Liu Wu Xin's attention was directed towards Little Bean.
Next, all that needed to be done was to take Chen Mo away, and everything would be complete.
However, before he could speak, Chen Mo suddenly shouted, "Assassin! Help! There's an assassin?".
Long Feiyao was shocked. Before she could react, she saw crowds of people rushing over from all directions after hearing Chen Mo's words...
