She Still Owes Me One Favor
Bamboo Creek Garden
Ji Yunshu had already stayed here for a day. From last night until now, including the night at Lin Mountain, she hadn't slept for two days.
In one night's time, she had already drawn the skull from the parietal bone to the lower jaw.
The paper was divided into different areas and corners.
'What a convenient combination!'
Then, he ordered someone to move the skull into the study.
She studied it for a while.
The skeleton's pelvis was relatively smooth and light. The upper part was round and oval, wide and shallow. The pubis was short and low, but it was also flexible.
In addition, the skeleton was small, and the shoulders were sloping downwards.
It could be determined that it was a female corpse.
After determining its gender, Ji Yunshu used the clay she had drawn to pinch the skull bit by bit.
Because her eyes were dry, she felt a stinging pain when the wind blew.
She couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
Just as she was about to wipe them with her sleeve, a handkerchief was passed to her.
She raised her head and saw Wei Yi's smiling face.
After not seeing him for a few days, this silly boy seemed to have become a lot fairer and more spirited.
The sunlight shone on his shoulders and the side of his face. It was like a hairy palm-leaf fan, gently caressing his body.
It gave off a feeling of laziness and ease.
She had to admit that Wei Yi was like a sprout in early spring, clean and full of vitality.
No words could be used to describe him.
Ji Yunshu smiled faintly. "Why did you come?"
Wei Yi grinned and squatted down. He used the handkerchief to gently wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Brother Mo Ruo said that I have been well-behaved these days, so he agreed to let me come and see you."
"Then, how did you find this place?"
"Brother Mo Ruo sent me here."
"Oh!"
Although Mo Ruo stayed in Yuhua Pavilion, his ears were very sharp.
Ji Yunshu couldn't hide the fact that she was staying in Bamboo Creek Garden from him.
Ji Yunshu looked at the entrance of the courtyard and asked again, "Then, where is he?"
"I don't know. He said he went to see an old friend. When he comes back, he will come and pick me up."
'Old friend?
Jing Rong? '
Ji Yunshu smiled but didn't say anything.
Wei Yi, on the other hand, had not seen her for two or three days. Naturally, he had a lot to talk about. He squatted beside her like a child and began to talk about his experiences in Yuhua Pavilion.
"Shu 'er, do you know how strange Brother Mo Ruo is? These past few days, he's been making me soak in a wooden tub and forcing terrible medicine into my mouth. Every day, he's been poking me with needles. Shu' er, what's wrong with Brother Mo Ruo? Does he not like me? Do you want to kill me? "
Puff –
Ji Yunshu almost laughed out loud.
This child was always imaginative and imaginative.
She wanted to pat his head, but her hands were covered in clay. She could only gently say, "Wei Yi, he won't kill you. He wants to treat you well. Do you understand?"
He shook his head!
"In short, you have to listen to him obediently. One day, you will understand."
"What will they understand?"
"Hmm …" She didn't know what to say. She lowered her gaze and asked seriously, "Wei Yi, if one day you understand everything, will you be happy?"
"Understand everything?" He muttered and scratched his head. He immediately smiled and nodded. "Of course, I'll be happy. If I'm as smart as you, Shu 'er, I'll be able to marry you."
But he was happy!
He was just short of jumping up and down!
Ji Yunshu's mouth slowly curved into a smile.
She didn't say anything.
Wei Yi pulled her slender arm and said again, "Wait until I become smarter, then I can protect you. You won't have to worry about getting hurt anymore. You also won't have to worry about being caught."
It seemed like he still remembered the time when she was caught in the basement.
"Thank you, Wei Yi."
He shook his head. "Mother said that a man must protect the person he loves. You are the person I love the most. Of course, I will protect you. I won't let anyone bully you for the rest of my life."
His face was firm.
He raised his head and straightened his back.
Ji Yunshu didn't know what to say. Perhaps, she just didn't want to hurt Wei Yi.
She took a deep breath and asked again, "If you really become smarter, you must promise me that no matter what happens, you won't do anything to harm others. Also, you won't harm others for your own benefit. Okay?"
"Okay!"
He agreed very straightforwardly.
Ji Yunshu believed in him!
Wei Yi's nature wasn't bad. She believed that he wouldn't be like Ji Yuanzhi or Ji Li. She even believed that he wouldn't be like Jing Yi!
Suddenly, Wei Yi noticed the clay in Ji Yunshu's hands. His face immediately lit up and he wiped his hands on his clothes.
"Shu 'er, are you making clay figurines? Let me help you. I used to make clay figurines. " “
Without waiting for Ji Yunshu to refuse, he rolled up his sleeves and started to work.
Naturally, Ji Yunshu also broke the clay figurines she had made. Fortunately, it was only a half-finished product.
The two of them happily began to play with each other. Wei Yi pinched a small pig, then a small monkey, and finally, he pinched a lot of small animals, all of them vivid and lifelike.
He didn't forget to put them in a sunny place to bask in the sun.
Dozens of small animals lined up to stand under the sun.
Basking in the sun!
…
After Mo Ruo sent Wei Yi to Bamboo Creek Garden, he went to the imperial palace.
He arrived at Jing Xian's Tongren Hall.
Mo Ruo had just entered with a bag of medicinal herbs when he smelled something burning.
She wrinkled her nose and looked carefully. Jing Xian was sitting on a rocking chair, holding a piece of paper and burning it on the stove.
"What are you burning?"
Mo Ruo walked over and asked.
Jing Xian wasn't surprised and only glanced at him. His fingers loosened, and the piece of paper fell into the stove, burning to ashes.
He replied, "It's nothing. It's just a document that I don't usually need."
"But you don't need to burn it!"
"In any case, it's better to burn it. It's better to avoid the insects from harming it and having to clean it up."
Mo Ruo glanced at the stove and didn't ask any more questions. He put the medicinal herbs he brought to the side and sat down. He said to Jing Xian, "Remember to mash these herbs and soak them in water to wipe your body."
Jing Xian looked at him with a gloomy expression. "I told you, you don't need to do this. I know my body best."
"Don't give up on yourself. As long as I'm alive, you'll be fine." Jing Xian frowned, but his tone softened. "Your complexion looks good. You should be able to leave the palace soon."
"From your tone, it seems like you've been planning this for a long time."
Mo Ruo didn't hide it from him. He nodded and said, "You should have heard about Teacher Ji, right?"
Jing Xian squinted his eyes. The corner of his mouth twitched. "I know!"
'It's good that you know!'
"When the time is right, I will ask him to find a way to make the Emperor agree to let you leave the palace. I believe he will be able to do it."
Jing Xian had a strange expression. "How can you be so sure that he will help me?"
