The Wheelchair Man
Outside the palace gates.
The sky was already dark.
Ji Yunshu brought Wei Yi to the south gate. Along the way, a young eunuch carried a lantern to guide them, so their feet didn't slip.
The Rong Estate's carriage was waiting outside, and Lang Po was also there.
"Teacher Ji, you finally came out." Lang Po was worried.
Ji Yunshu nodded faintly.
Lang Po turned to Wei Yi and asked with concern, "Young Master Wei, did the princess make things difficult for you?"
Wei Yi shook his head and smiled widely. "I didn't!"
"That's good. It's getting late, so please get on the carriage. His Highness should be coming out soon."
Wei Yi quickly entered the carriage. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he was naturally tired.
Seeing him like this, Ji Yunshu wanted to laugh, but her thoughts were heavy and she couldn't bring herself to do so.
Just as she was about to enter the carriage, she caught a glimpse of a group of people coming out of the palace. The three of them had solemn expressions and firm eyes.
They were Yuchi Lin and two of his subordinates.
Ji Yunshu asked, "Are those three people from Qujiang? The one in front is the general who led thirty thousand soldiers against a hundred thousand? "
Lang Po looked over and nodded. He whispered, "It should be. Teacher Ji's knowledge is profound. Back in the ruined temple, you were able to tell that those people were Huyi. Now, with just a glance, you can tell that they are from Qujiang. Truly admirable."
Ji Yunshu didn't listen to his compliments at all.
Her gaze was fixed on Yuchi Lin.
After a while, she tilted her head and frowned. Something was strange.
"Teacher? What's wrong? "Lang Po asked.
She shook her head and watched as the three people left on their horses.
At that moment, she turned her head and saw Ji Li and Ji Huan.
She quickly lowered her head and quickly entered the carriage. She stretched out her fingers and lifted the curtains, peeking at the two people as they left.
Her heart slowly calmed down.
"What will come will come!" She softly muttered.
The title of 'Teacher Ji' had spread like wildfire in the capital. Ji Li and Ji Huan had no reason to not know about it. After dealing with Qujiang, they would most likely come to find trouble with her.
The thought of how much effort she would have to put in to deal with them gave her a headache!
As she lowered the curtain, Wei Yi stretched lazily and yawned.
"Shu 'er, I'm tired!"
Finished speaking, he lay down on Ji Yunshu's thighs and closed his eyes to sleep.
Ji Yunshu didn't push him away. Instead, she lovingly caressed his head with a faint smile.
Hmm?
"Wei Yi, when did you get a birthmark on your neck?" Ji Yunshu noticed it.
Wei Yi didn't open his eyes. He answered in a daze, "Yes, I have. Mother said that I was born with it. You're the second person to ask me about it today."
"What second one?"
"…"
Wei Yi had already fallen asleep.
Ji Yunshu's finger lightly touched the red petal-shaped birthmark.
He had to admit that this birthmark was quite beautiful.
She waited for a while, but Jing Rong still hadn't come out. Perhaps Qi Zhen left his sons behind to discuss official business.
Seeing that Wei Yi was sleeping so soundly, Ji Yunshu gently pushed him away. She got up and helped Wei Yi lie down on the soft mattress before getting off the carriage.
She ordered Lang Po, "Brother Lang, I'll have to trouble you to send Wei Yi back first. The carriage should move slowly so that he won't wake up. I'll stay here to wait for Your Highness. "
"But …"
"No buts. This is the palace gate. Nothing will happen to me."
Lang Po thought for a moment before agreeing. He then brought Wei Yi back first.
Ji Yunshu waited outside the palace gate for a long time. She looked at the morning sky and narrowed her almond-shaped eyes. She was lost in thought.
After an unknown amount of time …
"Are you waiting for this prince?"
Jing Rong's voice suddenly rang in her ears.
She turned around and saw a handsome face suddenly magnified in front of her. She instinctively stepped back, but unexpectedly, her legs gave way and her body fell backwards.
She was immediately caught by Jing Rong.
His hand clasped her waist tightly. She heard Jing Rong say mischievously, "Little guy, why do you want this prince to carry you every time?"
Ah!
Ji Yunshu's ears turned red. She immediately bounced away and turned around.
She didn't say anything.
Jing Rong saw her like this and the smile on his face became even wider. He didn't expose her and snapped his fingers.
"Go and get a carriage."
"Yes!" The guard behind him immediately did as he was told.
Jing Rong moved closer to her ear, "If you go back with that brat Wei Yi first, this prince won't blame you."
Ji Yunshu looked at him strangely. "How did you know that Wei Yi also entered the palace?"
"Didn't this prince already tell me? I've already arranged for a few eunuchs to watch outside Concubine Xiao's palace. When this prince came out of the meeting hall, I already knew everything. "
"…"
It was as if there was a gust of cold wind.
Ji Yunshu felt a shiver run down her spine.
When the carriage arrived, they quickly boarded it and returned to the Rong estate.
Inside the carriage.
Jing Rong glanced at her and reached out to touch her. "Do you know the result of this meeting?"
Ji Yunshu looked up. She shook her head. "I don't want to!"
"This prince insisted on saying that this time, Qujiang came to propose a marriage for the king of Qujiang."
"Oh!" Ji Yunshu wasn't interested at all. Instead, she said, "Just now, I saw that Qujiang general at the palace gate."
Jing Rong understood the meaning behind her words. He frowned and asked, "Could it be that you sensed something?"
"Listening to your Highness's tone, it seems that you also sensed something."
"You first."
Ji Yunshu frowned. "I feel that … this person doesn't seem to be able to deal with a hundred thousand soldiers with thirty thousand."
Hearing this, Jing Rong was startled. He looked at the woman in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.
He said earnestly.
"Your thinking is the same as this prince's!"
Inside the inn.
At this moment, Li Shiyan was sitting at the table with his chin propped on his hand. He was fiddling with the oil lamp in front of him.
'What a scheming person!'
Xiao Luzi was packing his things on the side. He asked, "Heir, are we really leaving the capital?"
"If we don't leave now, we won't be able to. Hurry up and pack your things!"
"Oh, oh!" Xiao Luzi's movements quickened.
Li Shiyan glanced at him and was about to get up.
'Hey!'
A silver needle suddenly shot in through the thin crack of the door.
Fortunately, Li Shiyan's reaction was fast enough. He jumped up and dodged it.
"Heir, be careful!" Xiao Luzi shouted.
Then, several more silver needles shot through the door.
Li Shiyan suddenly opened his folding fan and waved it, deflecting the needles. The needles bypassed him and landed on the long mahogany bed.
'Fortunately, fortunately!'
However, these needles didn't carry any killing intent.
"Creak!"
The door opened.
When Li Shiyan saw the people outside, he wasn't surprised at all. Instead, his face was ashen. He closed the folding fan in his hand.
He sighed, sat down, and complained.
"I knew you would come looking for me."
At this moment, there were two people outside the door.
One was standing.
