Entering the Palace
"Wei Yi, this thing …" It's fake.
Before she could finish speaking, Wei Yi looked at her expectantly.
He asked, "Shu 'er, do you like it?"
"…"
"This is a necklace. I secretly bought it yesterday. The shopkeeper told me that it's a girl's favorite. You'll look the best wearing it."
Wei Yi impatiently took out the exquisite silver necklace. Without waiting for Ji Yunshu to refuse or say anything, he squatted down and carefully put it on her ankle.
It was accompanied by the gentle ringing of the bell. It was extremely pleasing to the ear.
He quickly got up and stood in front of Ji Yunshu, praising, "It's beautiful. Shu 'er looks good wearing it."
Ji Yunshu lifted her foot and looked at the silver necklace on her left foot. Because it was very thin, it was very light and flexible.
Moreover, the ringing of the bell wasn't very loud. Although it was a second-hand item, she didn't want to hurt Wei Yi's feelings. For the time being, it looked good. So what if it was a second-hand item?
Ji Yunshu was very happy to accept it.
"Thank you. I like it very much."
Wei Yi proudly raised his chin and said, "You'll look the best wearing the things I picked out."
Judging from his appearance, he must have completely forgotten about the matter of Jing Xuan smashing the courtyard.
This was probably the most unique thing about Wei Yi.
Ji Yunshu hurriedly pulled him out to prevent him from excitedly lying on the ground and looking at her feet.
The courtyard was in a mess. Fortunately, Ji Yunshu quickly stopped him. Otherwise, the plum blossoms in the courtyard would have been uprooted.
The maidservants hurriedly cleaned up the mess. At this moment, it was drizzling. If they didn't clean up soon, it would be a complete mess and covered in mud.
Wei Yi rushed to one of the maidservants and hurriedly took the broken potted plant from her hands.
With a kind face, he said, "Big Sister, let me help you."
"Young Master Wei …" The maidservant didn't have time to stop him. Wei Yi had already carried the potted plant and threw it into the big bucket used to hold the waste.
Ji Yunshu didn't care about the drizzle and hurriedly cleaned up.
"Teacher Ji, let us do it."
"It doesn't matter. Everyone, hurry up and clean up. It won't be good if the rain gets heavier."
"Yes."
The people in the courtyard were busy cleaning up the potted plants on the ground. Because of the drizzle, the soil was mixed with the soil, and a few maidservants fell on their backs.
Wei Yi's heart ached. He carried the little girl who had fallen to the side and ordered them to sit still and not move.
It was the feeling of a master!
Probably because he was getting more and more excited, Wei Yi rushed to work.
Ji Yunshu wanted to pick up the fragments, but Wei Yi snatched them away before she could even touch them.
"Shu 'er, let me help you."
His words warmed Ji Yunshu's heart, and the corners of her mouth curved into a cool smile.
A busy figure scuttled back and forth in the courtyard!
How lively!
The soft ringing of the bells on his feet, accompanied by the sound of the drizzle, seemed to transform the entire scenery in the courtyard into an extremely unreal scene.
But it was so beautiful.
Outside the courtyard, Jing Rong stood under the lantern. His hair and shoulders were already wet from the drizzle.
Looking at the smile on Ji Yunshu's face, it was obviously so beautiful, but his heart faintly ached!
Because that kind of smile seemed to have never been given to him.
There was only coldness and avoidance.
How he hoped that one day, Ji Yunshu would be able to wait by his side like she did for Ji Pei!
He hoped that she would be able to be as happy and happy as she was in front of Wei Yi, showing him a reassuring smile.
If he could really "one day"!
So what if he waited a little longer?
The next day.
The Capital Governor made a trip to the Rong Estate and reported the results of yesterday's search in Liang Mountain.
The corpse was found at the foot of Liang Mountain, which happened to be connected to the official road. There were many horse carriages and footprints, making it very messy. But on the official road, there was no lack of such things. Moreover, we also sent people to search nearby. The nearest thing we found was an abandoned thatched hut that had been abandoned for a long time. The surrounding mountains made it hard for anyone to hide there. The deceased probably didn't escape from the surrounding areas. Apart from that, we really didn't find anything else. "
He sighed helplessly as he spoke.
The clues probably ended here. After two months of searching, they still had no results.
Ji Yunshu was a little suspicious. It was impossible that they couldn't find anything. The only explanation was very clear; the Capital Governor's people didn't search carefully.
Ji Yunshu pondered for a moment before saying, "I will personally go to Liang Mountain."
"No!"
Jing Rong immediately rejected her and hurriedly said, "Your body isn't good. You can't go."
"My body is very good." Ji Yunshu refuted.
Jing Rong pulled her to the side with a solemn expression. "The humidity in Liang Mountain is very heavy. Even in the seventh or eighth month, the weather is still very humid. Don't forget that the wound on your face can't be exposed to moisture. Once it comes into contact with moisture, not only will your face be ruined, your body won't be able to endure it."
Yes, she almost forgot that the doctor had repeatedly warned her not to go to places with heavy humidity. Otherwise, the wound on her face wouldn't be able to heal and split open again.
But …
"If I don't personally go, we will lose the clue to this case."
"There are no conditions that we can talk about. Nothing is more important than your safety."
His tone left no room for argument.
Ji Yunshu knew this man's temperament very well.
Just as she was about to open her mouth …
A few palace eunuchs entered the room.
The eunuchs took small steps and placed their hands in front of their abdomen. Then, they respectfully said, "Greetings to Prince Rong. Concubine Xiao has ordered Teacher Ji to immediately enter the palace."
…
At this moment, Jing Xuan was sitting in the pavilion with her hands propping up her chin. Her big eyes were looking at the flowers and plants in the courtyard. She was lost in thought, and the corners of her mouth curled up from time to time. She appeared very bashful.
The two maidservants standing beside her looked at each other in confusion.
'What's going on?
Is the princess bewitched? '
Since she came back yesterday, she had been smiling foolishly. From time to time, her face would blush shyly. She completely looked like a little girl.
Jing Xuan bit her lips and lowered her head to laugh. Her shoulders shrunk into a ball, and it took a while for her to suppress this feeling.
In the distance, four or five palace maids were carrying some pastries towards the direction of the main hall. Jing Xuan suddenly ordered the palace maid beside her.
"Go and bring those pastries over."
"Yes!"
The palace maid hurried over and said something to the palace maids carrying the pastries. In the end, she returned empty-handed.
Jing Xuan asked, "Where are the pastries?"
"Your Highness, they said that the pastries are to be brought to the main hall."
Hearing this, how could it be possible?
Jing Xuan slammed her hand on the stone table. "How dare you! How dare you not give me what I want?"
The palace maid quickly lowered her head and explained, "They said that there will be an honored guest coming to the main hall, so Her Ladyship ordered people to prepare the best pastries."
"Honored guest? Who is it? "
"I heard that it is Teacher Ji."
Hearing this, the corners of Jing Xuan's mouth instantly turned into a bashful smile.
