An Introduction
As the saying goes, there is always someone better than you out there.
She had been in contact with Jing Rong for a long time, so she had learned a few tricks. She pretended that she didn't know anything.
She cupped her hands in greeting. "Many thanks for Prince Yi's concern. However, Prince Yi should also pay more attention to your health. Otherwise, your mind will become muddled and you will misjudge the case."
"Ah!"
This was clearly an allusion to the last time he intercepted Gan Chuliang and made a fool out of himself.
It was as if a knife that he stabbed suddenly came back to him. He couldn't stop it!
He could only smile awkwardly.
"That's why I said that Teacher is smart. Even this Prince can't beat you. I thought that Gan Chuliang was the murderer, so I brought people to arrest him. I didn't expect that Teacher's wisdom was still hidden. You made this Prince lose face."
"That's because Prince Yi is anxious to solve the case. It's the people's blessing to have a Prince like you in the court."
Women were always like this. When they lied, they never blushed.
It was like someone asking, 'Did you get plastic surgery?
I didn't! It's natural! If you don't believe me, I'll appraise it for you! '
Her face didn't blush, and her heart didn't beat faster.
Jing Yi listened to her flattering words and knew that she wasn't speaking from her conscience.
However, he still pretended that he was enjoying it.
In fact, the two of them had seen through each other more thoroughly than anything else.
Ji Yunshu knew that Jing Yi sent assassins to kill her and Jing Rong. She also knew that Jing Yi and Yan Weiyi wanted to kill Jing Rong to prevent them from investigating the Lin Capital case. She also knew that Jing Yi had seen through her background and knew that she was a woman.
Otherwise, Concubine Xiao wouldn't have set up a Hongmen Banquet for her.
Jing Yi knew that she already knew everything.
But now, the problem was …
Let's see who had better acting skills!
Sure enough, both of them had good acting skills.
Jing Yi brushed his sleeves and changed the subject. "I don't know what Teacher thinks about Qujiang's marriage proposal."
"Your Highness, are you asking me?"
"Yes. This Prince is very curious about Teacher's opinion."
"This humble one is just a commoner. What opinion can I have?" She was too lazy to talk.
Jing Yi no longer pressed her. His eyes rolled and fell on the direction of the viewing platform.
His eyebrows suddenly twitched.
"Oh, War Secretary Ji and General Ji are here!" Jing Yi deliberately raised his voice.
What?
Ji Yunshu immediately followed his gaze and saw Ji Li and Ji Huan entering the observation deck in casual clothes.
One at the front, one at the back!
Her heart tightened, and she instinctively lowered her head.
Jing Yi happened to catch it.
Jing Yi chuckled inwardly. Then, he put on an expression of someone who had recognized his talent.
"The last time Teacher entered the palace, War Secretary Ji and General Ji weren't in the capital. Why don't this prince introduce Teacher to them? After all, if Teacher wants to investigate the 'Lin Capital Case', there's no guarantee that you won't have dealings with them."
Ji Yunshu tried her best to hide her panic and lowered her gaze. "I think it's better not to trouble Prince Yi."
"It's fine. It's not time for the banquet yet."
"No …"
Before Ji Yunshu could finish, Lang Po interrupted, "Prince Yi, Prince Rong has instructed that he will arrange for the meeting."
Bang!
Jing Yi slammed his palm on the table. Although the sound wasn't loud, it was obvious that he was displeased.
"Could it be that this prince needs Prince Rong's permission to introduce Teacher to two people?"
"That's not what this general meant."
"Then stand aside obediently."
He was completely putting on the airs of a master.
Lang Po glanced at Ji Yunshu. Now that his Highness wasn't here, who would stand in her way?
He was anxious.
Jing Yi had already summoned his men and ordered, "Go invite War Secretary Ji and General Ji over. Tell them that this prince wants to introduce someone to them."
"Yes!"
The attendant went to inform them.
Ji Yunshu's hands were already sweating under her sleeves. No matter how hard she tried to hide her panic, she couldn't hide the nervousness in her eyes.
Not long after, voices came from behind her.
"Greetings, Prince Rong."
Two voices came at the same time.
Jing Yi raised his hand. "Generals, please sit down. There's no need to stand on ceremony."
"Yes!"
After all, they were on the battlefield, so their voices were much louder.
When the two sat down, they noticed Ji Yunshu, who had her head lowered.
When Ji Li saw her, his eyes narrowed.
On the other hand, Ji Huan, that boorish fellow, immediately became agitated.
If Ji Li hadn't pulled him back, he would have already wrapped his hands around Ji Yunshu's neck and strangled her to death.
He angrily shook off Ji Li's hand and glared fiercely at her.
Ji Yunshu was very clear that she had been recognized.
Jing Yi observed the expressions of the three and was very satisfied.
"I believe that the two generals have already heard of Teacher Ji in our capital?"
Ji Li was very calm. "Of course. I heard that Teacher Ji has solved many strange cases before he came to the capital. I admire him very much. I didn't expect to meet him here today."
He looked at Ji Yunshu.
Jing Yi introduced them to Ji Yunshu. "These two Generals are important officials of our Great Lin. Teacher Ji should properly acknowledge them. It's always good to have another friend."
"Yes. Many thanks for Prince Yi's introduction." Ji Yunshu's tone was very light, trying her best to sound like a man's. She then bowed to Ji Li and Ji Huan. "I've long heard of the two generals' great names. If there's a chance to meet you in the future, I hope that the two generals will take care of me."
"Teacher is too polite." Ji Li put on a fake smile. He furrowed his brows and asked, "May I know where you were before you came to the capital?"
"Everywhere is my home."
"Oh? Then you're from Jinjiang? "
"No."
Her answer was very direct.
How could she dare to mention Jinjiang?!
Ji Li purposely added, "Teacher, you look very similar to someone I know."
"There are many similar people in this world."
"Teacher is right."
There was a hint of competition in their hearts.
The four of them were like a drama!
In terms of acting, all four of them were best actors and actresses!
Following that, they talked about other things. Ji Yunshu tried her best not to speak and only listened.
Feeling that he had achieved his goal, Jing Yi stood up and left in satisfaction.
Ji Li and Ji Huan naturally had no reason to stay and left as well.
Ji Yunshu heaved a sigh of relief. However, she knew that this was the imperial palace. Ji Li and Ji Huan wouldn't do anything to her.
But if she were to leave the palace later …
Would she be killed with a single slash?
Just thinking about it made her panic. She hadn't lived long enough yet!
After Ji Li and Ji Huan left …
"Big Brother, why did you stop me? She's clearly Yunshu. "
Ji Li said, "She didn't reveal her identity. Moreover, she was wearing a half-mask. How can we be sure that it's her? We must investigate thoroughly before we act. Moreover, this is the imperial palace. If you want to kill her, you can't do it here. "
It had to be said that fierce generals were usually boorish men. That was not wrong at all.
Ji Huan was a boorish man with brains but no intelligence!
"Big Brother, do you think that Prince Yi is doing this on purpose? He didn't want to introduce anyone else but you and me. "
"No matter what Prince Yi wants to do, you must remember that Wanxin will be the Crown Prince's Consort in the future. We stand on the Crown Prince's side."
"Understood!"
