Chapter 130: It’s so frustrating that it’s hard not to doubt it
According to the steward, the assassin who came earlier was very powerful. I can’t say that he was far above these seven, but he was definitely stronger than these seven people. However, that person did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but went to Ji Yun with a clear goal.
open.
I don't know whether the assassin was too careless or Ji Yunkai was too capable. In short, the assassin was very unlucky. He sneaked into the palace without anyone noticing, but he was discovered when he entered Ji Yunkai's courtyard.
.
It shouldn't be said that he was discovered by someone, but rather by Qing Teng who was in Ji Yun's courtyard. Then four secret guards joined forces to besiege him, but the assassin didn't take it seriously and just waved his sleeves to kill the secret guard.
Wei shook it off, but...
Just when he was about to break into Ji Yunkai's room, all the well-placed flower pots and hanging pots were smashed down. Without any warning in advance, they suddenly fell down together. No matter how high the opponent's martial arts skills were, they couldn't avoid it.
When the opponent was about to capture Ji Yunkai, Ji Yunkai suddenly took out the Heavenly Medicine Needle. The opponent obviously did not expect it, so he was shot by Ji Yunkai and had to leave with injuries.
The housekeeper told Xiao Jiuan everything about every big and small matter, not even a single detail was spared.
I don't know whether it was because of a guilty conscience or something else, but Ji Yunkai always felt that the steward had something to say. When he saw Xiao Jiu'an looking thoughtfully at the flowers and plants in the courtyard that had been smashed into mud, Ji Yunkai became even more frightened and put his hands to listen to the heavenly doctor.
Hold the magic needle tightly.
She always felt that Xiao Jiuan had seen something, but could ordinary people really think of such things as plants having supernatural powers?
Just when Ji Yunkai was worried about whether Xiao Jiu'an would ask some questions that she couldn't answer, Xiao Jiu'an suddenly withdrew his gaze and ordered: "Clean up and arrange a new yard for the princess."
Thinking about it, Ji Yunkai didn't dare to sleep here anymore.
Even if he dared to sleep, he wouldn't let Ji Yunkai sleep here for the time being.
After all, he had to check this yard before he could feel at ease.
There was no way, he didn't believe Ji Yunkai.
"Yes." The steward bowed and accepted the order. After Xiao Jiuan left, he asked Ji Yunkai to rest in another courtyard, and then arranged for someone to clean up Ji Yunkai's courtyard.
Ji Yunkai did not refuse. Before leaving, he took a look at the flowers and plants that had fallen into a ball. Although he felt reluctant to part with them, he was even more happy.
Fortunately, these flowers and plants were smashed, so even if Xiao Jiuan suspected something, he would definitely not be able to find out.
But even though he knew that Xiao Jiuan couldn't find anything, Ji Yunkai tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep, and could only stare at the top of the bed in a daze.
I don't blame her for being useless, there really were too many things that happened tonight, and if she could sleep, she would be really heartless.
Just as Ji Yunkai had guessed, Xiao Jiuan asked people to tidy up Ji Yunkai's yard because he was suspicious of her flowers and plants.
According to the information he found, Ji Yunkai was not a person who loved flowers and plants. He had never raised flowers and plants in Ji Mansion before, but when he arrived at Yanbei Palace, he suddenly started to grow flowers and plants. What was the purpose?
Xiao Jiu'an didn't think that Ji Yunkai's move was for self-cultivation and to find something to do for himself when he had nothing to do. How could a woman like Ji Yunkai do useless things?
Moreover, with him around, no matter how good the gardener was, he could not make plants grow in the palace, but Ji Yunkai did it. She even made poisonous weeds from southern Xinjiang sprout and grow in the capital.
And what happened tonight, from the steward's description, we can tell that Ji Yunkai's yard is weird.
With all these things combined, Xiao Jiu'an couldn't do it even if he didn't want to be suspicious. If he didn't investigate and allowed Ji Yunkai to do anything under his nose, he would no longer be Xiao Jiu'an.
It took the steward and others a whole night to tidy up Ji Yunkai's yard, and all the flowers and plants in her yard were handed over to the doctor at home for inspection, but...
No matter how you check, there is nothing wrong with those flowers and plants, they just bloom better than ordinary flowers and plants.
"They are all ordinary plants. There are a few that can be used as medicine, but they are all harmless and have nothing abnormal. If they are placed side by side, no one will be harmed." The doctor of Yanbei Palace took Ji Yun and opened all the flowers and plants in the yard.
Cutting it open and chewing it, nothing unusual was found.
The steward repeatedly asked for confirmation and came up with the same result. He could only report truthfully: "Your Majesty, everything in the Princess's yard is normal. There is nothing suspicious." In other words, everything tonight was probably a coincidence.
"Really?" Xiao Jiuan smiled coldly, his eyes falling on the green mint potted plant on the desk.
Is it really not suspicious that it has not withered after being left in front of him for a day and a night?
Seeing Xiao Jiu'an not speaking for a long time, the steward looked up and saw Xiao Jiu'an staring at the potted plant on the table, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He also knew that this was abnormal, but couldn't he find a reason?
Because the potted plants that Princess Shiqing took away from the princess would also wither in a few days.
"Stay back." Xiao Jiu'an did not bother to take care of the matter. He looked away indifferently, leaned on the chair, and rubbed the ring on his thumb every now and then.
"Your Majesty!" Before dawn, a secret guard suddenly appeared.
"Say." Xiao Jiu'an said without raising his head.
"Princess Shiqing has just returned home." The secret guard hesitated for a moment before saying.
"Very good." He had already made the argument in his mind, and Xiao Jiu'an was not surprised at all: "The surveillance on Princess Shiqing has been withdrawn."
Now that it's confirmed, there's no need to waste manpower looking at her.
She is just a woman, and as long as he is not willing to give her rights, she is nothing.
Xiao Jiuan stood up, gently plucked the mint leaves, turned around and walked out.
Xiao Jiu'an had to go to court in the past few days, and he couldn't sleep at all at this moment. After leaving the study, he changed into court clothes and rode to the palace.
The morning was as noisy as ever. Although officials from Qin Xiang's faction were constantly being accused, they were not discouraged and continued to impeach Xiao Jiu'an, finding new excuses every day.
At first, Xiao Jiuan ignored them and didn't even mind showing off his strength, which shocked the emperor and the civil and military officials. However, after learning that Princess Tianwu was coming, Xiao Jiuan was too lazy to talk to these dogs that could only bark but not bite.
.
Anyway, the emperor can't cure his crime, and he won't be able to return to Yanbei in a short time. Why waste time and energy playing with a group of clowns?
Facing the impeachment of the censor who was not afraid of death, Xiao Jiuan had only one sentence from beginning to end: "I don't know."
Yes, I don’t know. No matter what those censors said, Xiao Jiuan didn’t know. If the emperor was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do. He just didn’t know.
Facing Xiao Jiu'an, who was acting rogue as usual, the emperor was not as angry and dissatisfied as usual. The emperor was very calm today, but the look in his eyes at Xiao Jiu'an was more penetrating than ever before.
Xiao Jiuan knew that the emperor must be dissatisfied because of what happened last night.
Come to think of it, all the spies from Tianzihao can't do anything to a woman. Can the Emperor not feel aggrieved?
But what does this have to do with him?
If he didn't want to feel aggrieved, he sent out all the spies from Li Yuan and Tiandi Xuanhuang, and he, Xiao Jiuan, took over... (To be continued)
