Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 589 What about Ji Wuyan?
"Ah...fate is just an excuse for cowards and cowards not to do anything." The imperial concubine held her chin, charming, gentle and uninhibited, "I have never believed in such fate, I only believe in it." Man can conquer heaven. My child... Even if the decree is clear and the words are true, as long as the matter has not happened, it cannot be concluded. "

"You too."

You Lingxi was startled for a moment, and when she raised her head, she fell straight into the eyes of the other party. The eyes were as sharp as needles, poking straight into her limbs and bones, causing her whole body to become numb with pain. .

The body that was leaning on the armrest trembled, but he finally managed to stabilize his body, and he responded with a smile. He only said a few words of farewell, and almost ran away with the hem of his skirt in hand.

She understood what Bian said, and it was precisely because she understood that she didn't dare to accept a single word.Your Majesty's illness is really strange. There have been rumors and speculations throughout the court. Some said it was the work of the Bai family, and some said it was the work of the Zuoxiangfu. In short, these two forces, which were already equally powerful, are now becoming more and more anxious and at war with each other.

Father said that the East Palace and Zuo Xiangfu controlled most of the power in the court, but they had little power among the generals. The generals supported the Bai family and believed that the king of Pingyang County was the daughter of the queen, the legitimate son and the legitimate son.Now that the emperor has been lingering on the bed for so long, no one knows what the situation will be like tomorrow. It is also a critical moment for the ministers to stand in line. Conglongzhigong... No matter how late it is, he will not be able to catch up with the heat.

You Lingxi didn't understand that the concubine's painstaking play and words today were all about wooing the You family with profit and emotion.However, she thought that although she was a little smart, she was still lacking in thought when it came to the court and in front of the imperial concubine. The entire You family would be affected by a slight mistake.

Or... go back home and discuss with your father what the imperial concubine said today.If His Majesty is serious... he should have made plans earlier.

……

Ji family.

Shangguan Chu rarely went out today and came to Ji Wuyan's yard early to have breakfast.

This man who had elegance and magnanimity engraved into his bones rarely indulged in food regardless of his appearance even in front of Ji Wuyan.A bowl of wontons, sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onions. He ate slowly and calmly. After eating two, he took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over. He put down his chopsticks and leaned back, then said, "Over there in Jiangnan." The news that came out is that Dong Palace is checking on you... I guess the answer will come by now."

There was no word on the envelope. Ji Wuyan twisted it and felt that the inside was only as thick as a piece of paper. She was not in a hurry to open it and just asked casually, "What kind of answer did he get?"

"You're not in a hurry."

"What's the rush..." Ji Wuyan was calm and composed, "With my brother here, do you still need me to worry about Jiangnan's affairs?"

The little girl's eyebrows were raised slightly, and her face looked proud and intimidating. It had to be said that it was more effective than anyone's compliments.Shangguan Chu took the milk brought by Zi Qiu and waved it off. He placed the milk in front of Ji Wuyan and said, "He wants to check you, but he doesn't just want to check you. Over the years, the Ji family and Shangguan Chu have The news that the family is not dealing with it is not a secret in Yanjing City. Since he has become suspicious, he will also have doubts about it. He went to check the masters of the Ji family..."

"What's the answer?" she asked again. "Most of the Ji family's side branches live in Mobei, and only the direct lineage and clan officials live in Yunzhou. According to the Ji family's rules, women should be in charge of the family. Now the old lady has a son and a daughter. The daughter married into the Shangguan family, and the son is still in charge. She is unmarried and has no direct grandchildren from the Ji family...and the old lady is already old, so she brought back a little girl from a branch of the Ji family many years ago, named Ji Ning'er, who has been brought up by the old lady by her side since she was a child. , is now the young head of the Ji family."

"Then, where is Ji Wuyan?" she asked again, holding the milk in both hands and sipping it in mouthfuls. There was a circle of milk stains on her lips when she raised her head, like a greedy kitten.

Ji Ning'er is not a boudoir who doesn't stay outside the house. Not only is she not, she also likes to wander around the streets every now and then, find a restaurant and restaurant to listen to music, and take Jifeng to the market to buy some snacks. Toy, or go to the countryside to enjoy the breeze and swim in the lake. Although you wear a veil when entering and exiting, the name "Ji Ning'er" is not unfamiliar to the people of Yunzhou.Although Shangguan Chu has power, it is impossible to control the mouths of the entire Yunzhou people. Because she has the same face as Shangguan Yuan, Ji Ning'er always wears a veil when going out. Therefore, this part of the news It was provided to the East Palace truthfully.

And Ji Wuyan...

East Palace.

Li Yuqi held the thick stack of descriptions about Ji Wuyan in his hand, as well as the answers passed back from the people of Yunzhou, and frowned more and more. After a long while, he patted the stack of things that looked like waste paper in his hand. On the side, "What about Ji Wuyan? No one knows such a person?"

The painting was completed by a painter in Yanjing City and brought to Yunzhou. However, in such a large Yunzhou City, few people have seen this girl.The few feedbacks are just uncertain memories like "like, maybe, maybe".

Such uncertainty often means that the results are untrustworthy and unreliable.

Sanji didn't believe it either, but he still bravely recounted the few pieces of information, "Some people said that they had seen this girl next to a girl from the Ji family, but only a few times. Maybe she was from the Ji family." Side branch. The children of the side branch will occasionally come to Yunzhou to stay for a while."

After saying that, with the pressure on his head, he continued to convince His Highness the Crown Prince to believe this statement, "They said that the Ji family often has visitors. Although the Ji family and the Shangguan family have not had contact with each other for many years, the younger generations of the two families still move around occasionally. Every year, the Shangguan family Yuan and Mrs. Shangguan will also come to Yunzhou to stay for a while, so when the Ji family members move around, there are often unfamiliar faces, and this is probably the case for Ji Wuyan."

Maybe, that's probably the case?I traveled all the way to Yunzhou and just asked for this little information?And the relationship between Ji family characters that is almost universally known?
Can a family member of a nearby family who occasionally moves around and no one remembers his name, surname and appearance clearly recognize a hairpin used by Shangguan Yuan at a glance?Do you think that the Prince of the East Palace is a fool and easy to deceive?

Li Yuqi pondered for a moment and then asked, "What does Ji Ning'er look like? Has anyone ever drawn it?" Ji Wuyan, who occasionally visits as a guest, doesn't recognize him. It's impossible that no one in Yunzhou City has seen the face of the young master of the Ji family. ?

However, Sanji lowered his head even more and bowed his hands, feeling that maybe he shouldn't come back so early - after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if he couldn't find out, there was no need to come back.

So he was silent.
