Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 191 Dispute (third shift)
She tried to test it to no avail, and now she is asked to take off her clothes for an injury test.

Ji Wuyan raised her eyebrows with her chin propped up, watching the little maid holding the clothes that bent down and handed them to her, the gray-blue silk and satin, the wrinkled texture looks very complicated, it should be the style of palace clothes.This kind of clothes has three layers inside and three layers outside. It is very cumbersome to wear, and usually requires two or three people to wait on them.

More importantly, it took long enough for You Lingxi to get the answer she wanted.

Ji Wuyan frowned and smiled lightly, leaning on the armrest with one hand and sitting up a bit, as if about to get up.

But there was a voice from outside. The man came with his hands behind his back, "I'm sorry. My girl's left shoulder was injured. Mr. Chen told me that this shoulder should be used as little as possible. Now there is no need to pay for a piece of clothing. Take some effort."

"Who are you?" You Lingxi's face was as cold as frost. Although she is not a serious royal family member of the Li family, she is also a descendant of the royal family. It's because of the flattery of everyone, and now it's fine to be humbled by Ji Wuyan's side, but this servant who came out of nowhere dare to talk to her like this?
The suppressed displeasure broke out immediately, "A servant, the master hasn't spoken yet, when will it be your turn to speak?! Is this how your girl disciplines the servant?"

The half-raised body sat back slowly, and Ji Wuyan smiled softly against the floppy body, the smile was a little loose, the laughter dissipated in the wind and rain, and there was a coolness, she said, "I'm really sorry. I There are no rules, everyone eats at the same table, and they talk to each other when they have something to say, and I am nothing more than a luthier who lives in the world. host."

"Hey, hey... What's the matter? The two little girls are from each other, they talk very well, why are they arguing..." Seeing that the situation was wrong, Li Yuqi quickly became a peacemaker, "Given the gift of Princess You It's true that it's not the right time, but I feel that... changing clothes is just a matter of raising a hand. This palace dress looks cumbersome, and Miss Ji's maid may be in a hurry if she hasn't served her before, so then Princess Laoyou borrowed two maids... right?"

You Lingxi nodded silently with a straight face.

The ancient house had already walked out of the courtyard to the porch, put away the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, put one hand behind his back, and bent towards Li Yuqi, which was quite rude.

He just stood there, looked at Li Yuqi and said, "I heard that the East Palace was attacked by thieves last night, and the subordinates of His Royal Highness shot the thief, so today, His Highness is strictly interrogating the major pharmacies." ... Those medicinal materials were bought by the grass-roots people. If the crown prince has something to ask, just ask the grass-roots people. I'm afraid my girl will know nothing about it. After all... If there are few medicinal materials in the house and she asks her, it will be Grassroots dereliction of duty."

He called himself a grass-roots man, but he told You Lingxi that he was not a servant of the Ji family.

You Lingxi wanted to hit someone angrily, but Li Yuqi was at the side, she didn't dare to mess with him rashly, so she could only endure it, gritted her silver teeth, and the nerves in her whole face were tense.If eyes could kill, Gucuo would have died countless times.

However, no matter how she stared out her own eyes, the other party didn't realize it.

It was meant to be subtle, but now that Gu Cuo pointed it out so bluntly, Li Yuqi's expression turned ugly and embarrassed for a moment.He looked at Ji Wuyan.

Miss Ji lowered her head and frowned, her veil covered her expression, but she looked a little lonely, as if disappointed and self-deprecating.

"Hehe..." She smiled, "His Highness the Crown Prince has a high position and authority. If there is an order, no girl would dare to refuse to obey... There is no need to use such a tactful way... Let the girls naively think that His Royal Highness and the county The Lord really cares about the daughter of the people. If the old house does not block her, the girl will try her best to avoid it even if she does not want it, and she will definitely try the princess's wishes... I didn't expect it... I just pretended to be passionate."

For a moment, Li Yuqi felt that the girl wearing a veil in front of her had a feeling of deja vu for a moment.

This scene also seemed familiar, as if it had happened before.But racking his brains, he still couldn't grasp the feeling.He smiled sheepishly, "That's not the case. Miss Ji thinks too much..."

Ji Wuyan looked up at Li Yuqi, with a smile in her eyes, but the smile was aggrieved and lonely. She said, "I think... the assassin's injury must be on his right arm. Just now the princess grabbed my arm so hard. , In fact, it is also an injury test... In fact, His Highness just said it directly. There is no need to try on the clothes. The things given by the empress in the palace are not blessed by women. His Highness suspects that women are the ones who can fly over the walls and enter the East Palace at night. I don't know if His Highness is naive, or if a commoner girl looks more like...the one who can lift a sword and kill people..."

As he said, he shook his head helplessly, and slowly covered his right wrist with his fingertips, "This injury... If you really want to have it tested, it's okay."

Li Yuqi was startled.

Ji Wuyan's wrist was already covered with another hand, that of Gucuo.He frowned, "Miss, have you forgotten what the old lady taught me before, is it that a foreigner can casually look at the girl's arms?"

"But...you can't let people doubt us. It's also Qingyu..."

"Heh." Gu Cuo snorted coldly, "Some reputations are important and should not be tarnished. Some reputations are not necessary. If there is any real evidence, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will submit it to Dali Temple. When the government approves it, they will come and ask people for questioning. If not... just because Ji's family went to the pharmacy to buy some medicinal materials, they framed the girl as a thief who broke into the Eastern Palace at night...I'm afraid I will not accept it."

"Heh. You're treating yourself as a human being..." You Lingxi sneered, "You dare to talk like that in front of the prince. Those who come from uneducated places just can't stand on the stage..."

"Okay... Consonance. Don't be too quick to talk." Li Yuqi said in a low voice, then turned to look at Ji Wuyan, his words were much gentler, "Miss Ji misunderstood. I really heard that the girl suffered for righteousness Some injuries, I haven't bothered to come over to visit one or two before, and I just have time today..."

"As for what this brother said just now, it is indeed true. The East Palace was indeed invaded by thieves." Li Yuqi shook his head and smiled wryly, "It's embarrassing to say it...East Palace was unexpectedly infiltrated by a small thief in the middle of the night, and let people run away... But it’s just lost some gold and silver, worthless, I don’t want to spend a lot of time to find a small thief, let him go.”

"It's a coincidence that this matter happened, and this brother misunderstood."
