Empress work daily

Chapter 99 The original owner
In the Hall of Mercy, after some groping, Ji Qiang finally found her jade ring in a wooden box on the ancient rack. They were exactly the same, two pieces.

How come there are two pieces?

Just as she was wondering, suddenly a figure flashed in front of her, Ji Qiang dodged immediately, and using the bench beside her as support, she turned over and jumped one meter away from the table.

She knew that the person standing opposite was Shang Xuan, but to her surprise, Huang Chang and Zhao Gan couldn't hold him back.

Ji Qiang, who stood firm, immediately regretted that he didn't wrap the wooden box away before turning over just now, otherwise, he might be able to get away directly by using a cover-up.

However, she soon discovered that Shang Yao, who was standing on the side of the table, was motionless, as if someone had fixed him.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Qiang didn't have time to think about it, and turned over and returned to the Bogu shelf, but her hand hadn't touched the wooden box, and the wooden box had already been snatched away by the other hand.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ji Qiang wouldn't have believed that Shang Xuan's skills were so good!
No wonder Huang Chang lost without saying a word last time.

This monk of unknown origin has been hiding in the palace for nearly 20 years. He is eccentric, and now he has snatched away the jade ring that his mother gave her. What is he going to do?
At that moment, Ji Qiang felt sullen in his heart, turned around suddenly, and slashed at Shang Yao with a palm with a faint murderous intent... Shang Yao did not hide, he received the palm, but still hugged him tightly Live in that wooden box.

Ji Qiang waved his hand and slapped again, this time the palm was extremely strong, Shang Xuan still didn't hide, and stretched out his palm to meet him.

The two palms hit each other, and in an instant, both of them felt great resistance. Compared with the pain in their arms, what Ji Qiang could not bear was the very close contact with Shang Xiang just now, which almost made her sick on the spot.

The anger escalated again, and Ji Qiang drew out the soft sword at his waist without hesitation. In the darkness, the soft sword was like a flexible silver snake, spitting out a terrifying core and flew towards Shang Yao.

At the critical moment, Shang Yao dodged sideways, dodging the soft sword.

At this time, the soft sword has turned into a straight sword, piercing the Bogu frame indestructibly, where the sword tip crossed, sparks splashed everywhere...In an instant, the Bogu frame was cut off in the middle, antique ornaments, four treasures of the study What happened one after another fell to the ground, and the crisp crashing and breaking sounds instantly filled the empty Hall of Mercy...

At the same time, Shang Xuan in the darkness, like an eagle, opened his arms and rushed towards Ji Qiang before the bogu shelf fell, pushing her aside.

He himself was smashed hard.

Ji Qiang lifted up the half of the shelf without any hesitation. She swore in front of her mother in the name of her father that she would not hurt her men in her life. Wouldn't fame suffer in vain?

No!She will never allow this to happen.

When Ji Qiang lifted the bogu shelf with great effort and pushed it aside, Shang Yao began to squirm a little, and Ji Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Shang Yao stood up slowly. In the darkness, he stretched out his hand silently, and flicked lightly at nothingness, and the room suddenly became bright.

The oil lamp was dim, and Ji Qiang saw bloodstains on his bald head through the dim light... The bogu rack smashed his head.

"Your Majesty." He clasped his hands together, bent slightly, and saluted Ji Qiang.

At this point in the matter, there was no point in covering it up any longer. Ji Qiang tore off the scarf generously, and put the sandalwood bead on the table, next to the sandalwood Buddha bead bracelet.

Just a moment ago, she saw clearly that the string of beads was just missing one, no matter in size, color or shape, the one she picked up from her father's box was exactly the same.

"The mage's things, I return to their original owners. At the same time, I also come to take away my things." Ji Qiang opened Shang Yao's wooden box, took out the two identical jade rings, and carefully identified them.

She didn't often wear it when she was young, and she wasn't very familiar with the fine lines and flower decorations on it, not to mention that the two jade rings were almost the same everywhere, so it was even more difficult to distinguish them.

"Those two jade rings are neither." Shang Xuan took out a complete jade ring tied with a red thread from his bosom, and handed it to Ji Qiang.

Ji Qiang didn't answer, and said with a sneer, "I'm not sure just now... Now it seems that the mage has already planned all this."

The sandalwood beads were deliberately left by Shang Xuan in her father's box to lure her to the Hall of Mercy.

And the two identical jade rings that he put in the wooden box were also a trick he used to make her unable to make up her mind and hold her back.

Why is it so mysterious?
"It's just that I don't understand. My jade ring is only half a piece, but the mage gave me a whole one. Why?"

Shang Xuan took two steps towards Ji Qiang, the wound on his head was still bleeding silently, and the blood had quietly dripped onto his green robe.

However, he didn't seem to notice any pain, or he simply forgot about the wound on his head. He just grabbed the red string with all his heart, gently lifted the jade ring, and showed it to Ji Qiang.

"Half of this jade ring belongs to the late emperor, and the other half belongs to His Majesty. I have restored it."

As it got closer, Ji Qiang could see clearly that there were two faint cracks on the restoration of the jade ring, which seemed to be natural, tiny cracks that originally existed in the jade ring itself.

Ji Qiang still didn't reach out to pick it up, but just stared at Shang Yao with a cold face, "My and the late Emperor's Jade Jue, why do you..."

Ji Qiang suddenly lost her voice. Although on the surface, she still maintained the majesty of an emperor and her calm aura...but the moment she lost her voice, she realized that she was already on the verge of falling.

Cracks also appeared on Shang Yao's indifferent expression like a Buddha. He slowly held the jade ring to Ji Qiang's eyes, and tremblingly said: "This jade ring is originally a complete piece... At the beginning, it was given to the late emperor by the minister. ..."

"Shut up!" Ji Qiang yelled suddenly, supporting himself with his hand on the case, "Since that's the case, now it's considered a return to the original owner."

She tried her best to finish the last sentence, and tremblingly walked to the door, and it took a lot of effort to step her foot over the high threshold.

Outside the door, Shang Liujia and Ling Lu stood upright, ready to greet him at all times. Seeing Ji Qiang's expression was wrong, they immediately stepped forward to help her.

Ji Qiang closed his eyes, still trying his best to maintain the emperor's demeanor, and ordered: "Add a few more servants with the mage, don't let people mistakenly think that I treat the nobles of the late emperor harshly."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shang Liujia immediately accepted the order.

Ji Qiang's footsteps stopped, trembling again and again, and after a while, he ordered, "Tell the imperial physician to help the mage clean up the wound, and use the best medicine to avoid leaving scars."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ling Lu also hurriedly took orders.

His majesty's mournful and numb look, the master and the apprentice asked themselves that they had never seen it before. They panicked for a while, and then realized that her footsteps were so weak that there was almost no strength left, so the master and the apprentice worked together to push Ji Qiang out of the gate.

Under the palace wall outside the door, there were two dark "things" lying motionless on the ground, Ji Qiang asked hoarsely: "That's..."

"It's Huang Chang and Commander Zhao, they seem to have their acupuncture points locked." Shang Liujia replied lightly.

"Trash." Ji Qiang's voice was so low that the people around him couldn't hear him clearly.

After she finished speaking in a low voice, her feet suddenly went limp, and she finally fell down...
