I've seen this tassel before!
No matter what, Yan Weiyi wasn't someone to be trifled with!
If it weren't for Jing Rong's reminder, he wouldn't have been able to react and would have become a chess piece in Jing Yi's hands.
Jing Yi was a meticulous person and could vaguely sense that something was wrong with Yan Weiyi.
He frowned and asked, "Teacher Yan, did you go to see someone?"
"Yes, I just went to the Peach Blossom Spring!"
Jing Yi's expression immediately changed.
The Peach Blossom Spring was Jing Rong's territory.
"Why did he suddenly look for you?"
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any loopholes, right?
Yan Weiyi, on the other hand, remained calm and collected. He slowly sat down in front of Jing Yi and raised his eyes.
He raised his eyes and said, "Prince Rong already knows that I was the one who planted the northern sentence tree. Although I don't know how Prince Rong found out, the northern sentence tree has long been extinct. Moreover, I was very careful in cultivating it. Logically speaking, it's impossible for him to know that the shiban poison came from me. "
"That's all?" Jing Yi didn't seem to care about what Yan Weiyi just said.
"That's not it. He also told me that he had already sent people to uproot the northern sentence tree I planted. He took it as a scapegoat for me."
"So, he knows that you were the one who sent people to assassinate him in Liangshan?"
At this moment, Jing Yi still wanted to pin the crime on him.
It was obviously Jing Yi who gave the order and Yan Weiyi was only a chess piece!
"No, Your Highness didn't understand what I meant. The incident in Liangshan didn't expose the shiban poison. It was exposed when I sent people to the memorial hall to assassinate Prince Rong. But how did Prince Rong know about this poison?" Yan Weiyi's tone was gloomy, but not the slightest emotion could be heard.
Jing Yi's expression froze.
He suddenly reacted. "Because you and I both neglected her? Such an intelligent person, of course he would know about this poison. "
The 'her' he was referring to was naturally Ji Yunshu.
Yan Weiyi didn't care about Jing Yi's words. He took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Jing Yi.
"Prince Rong asked me to pass a message to Your Highness. From now on, do not leave any evidence behind. This jade pendant was obtained by Prince Rong from Your Highness's men of sacrifice."
After saying this, Yan Weiyi stood up and cupped his hands in obeisance. "From now on, if Your Highness wants to kill someone, please do it yourself. Although you and I are in the same camp, I only want to kill Prince Rong to avenge my son. I don't want to be involved in the struggle between Your Highness's factions."
He didn't even wait for Jing Yi to reply and left!
At this time, Jing Yi's face was full of shock as he carefully examined the jade pendant.
Dou Quan didn't seem to notice this at all. He only said carefully, "It seems like Prince Rong said something to Yan Weiyi to deliberately sow discord between Your Highness and him. Your Highness should pay more attention to this person in the future."
This was not Jing Yi's point.
Instead, he said, "This jade pendant is indeed the one worn by this prince's men of sacrifice, but how did it end up in Jing Rong's hands?"
"Could it be that when the men of sacrifice went to assassinate you, they accidentally left it behind?" Dou Quan said.
"You should be very clear that it is impossible for the men of sacrifice sent by this prince to wear such an obvious symbolic jade pendant. If Jing Rong really obtained this jade pendant from the men of sacrifice, then it seems that he already knew that the person he wanted to kill was me. Today, he is only using Yan Weiyi as an example."
"Your Highness, the men of sacrifice that were sent out are already dead."
"Strange, very strange!"
Jing Yi slightly narrowed his eyes. It seemed that there was more to this matter!
It was simply impossible for a man of sacrifice to wear a jade pendant to assassinate someone!
… …
On the other side, not long after Jing Rong left the Rong Estate, Ji Yunshu also went out.
She went to a restaurant.
Coincidentally, this restaurant was the same restaurant where she had brought Wei Yi to eat meat before.
Just as she entered, she heard the melodious' Fan Ji Tune 'coming from the stage.
She looked over and saw that the girl named Mei Xiang 'er was singing. Her moving voice was able to move people's heartstrings, making them feel very comfortable.
When she looked over, she happened to meet Mei Xiang 'er's eyes, which were filled with pleasant surprise.
Indistinctly, there was a trace of bashfulness in her eyes.
Ji Yunshu swallowed her saliva. She couldn't afford to offend a beauty like this.
Thus, she quickly went to the second floor.
As soon as she went up, she saw Li Shiyan sitting at the outermost table with a 'I am the most arrogant' expression on his face. One of his hands was holding a pair of chopsticks, which he constantly poked at the table. His other hand was like a loafer, resting on the wooden railing of the second floor.
His posture made Ji Yunshu wipe away her sweat.
As soon as she arrived, Xiao Luzi, who was sitting beside Li Shiyan, patted him with the back of his hand and said, "Young master, you're here."
Thud!
The chopsticks in his hand fell on the table.
He quickly got up and looked at Ji Yunshu with a smile on his face like a peach blossom.
'Didn't they say that he was seriously injured? He doesn't look like he's injured at all! '
"I thought you wouldn't come, but you're late for the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn." Li Shiyan complained.
"I was delayed."
She sat down across from him. When her buttocks touched the bench, she extended her hand toward Li Shiyan and solemnly said, "Can you give me the things now?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk about it after eating. "
"No need. I don't have much time." Ji Yunshu's attitude was firm.
Li Shiyan's face twitched. He pretended to be wronged and pressed his shoulder with one hand. "Don't tell me you don't even have time to care about me? I was seriously injured because of you. The injury on my shoulder has yet to heal. "
In fact, Ji Yunshu wasn't a heartless person. In the end, if Li Shiyan hadn't saved her, she would have already died.
She pursed her lips and said with concern, "Remember, it's best not to touch water. Don't eat anything spicy, and …"
"I'm lying! I'm not injured!"
"What?" Ji Yunshu was confused.
Li Shiyan smiled and patted his shoulder. "You underestimate me too much. Those people can't hurt me, but my arm really hurts. When I was preparing to go down to the valley to look for you, I accidentally tripped and dislocated my arm. But it's fine now."
'Hey, hey, hey!
Are you an idiot hired by a monkey? '
Ji Yunshu felt a headache coming on.
Li Shiyan narrowed his eyes and leaned forward. He asked curiously, "But I really want to know … what is your relationship with that prince?"
Facing his curious face, Ji Yunshu heaved a sigh of relief.
She went back to the main topic. "I'm not in the mood to talk about these things with you. I just want my things back. Please give them to me immediately."
"What if I don't?"
"Then I will risk my life to get them back." Ji Yunshu said without hesitation.
Li Shiyan was slightly surprised. 'Is this thing that important to her?'
After pondering for a moment, he took out the tassel from his sleeve.
He stole it from Ji Yunshu when they were in Liang Mountain.
Yes, he stole it!
He dangled the tassel on his finger and shook it. He put away his previous frivolous expression and asked her seriously.
"Is this thing really yours?"
"Of course it's mine."
As she spoke, Ji Yunshu reached out to grab it.
But the next moment …
Li Shiyan suddenly said, "I've seen this tassel before."
Ji Yunshu's hand froze in mid-air before her fingertips could touch the tassel.
"What did you say?"
Her voice trembled.
