Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 499 It's Different This Time

"They were all brought by Mr. Chen... most of them are medical books." Ji Wuyan leaned on the back of the chair to enjoy the condescending service of this proud man. Looking at the man with his head down in the bronze mirror, his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be drawn together. As soft as a layer of yarn.

Although he knew that there were many treasures hidden in that short tower before, Ning Xiuyuan was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

It seems that most of them are medical books, but that's just in comparison... Those famous ancient books, calligraphy and painting scrolls, even if they are stored in the Royal Library, are also shocking and flocking, but they just came into this little girl's mouth , it seems that it can be seen casually on the side of the road.

"Ji Feng's child is a bit late on the way of martial arts training. He is thinking of finding a quick martial arts secret book that can protect the girl, but I dare not let him learn from those. I only found some strong physique. Let him practice with the book." He explained to Ji Wuyan.

Ji Wuyan is also clear about this.

Jifeng suffered a lot in his early years from being hungry and full, so he didn't take care of his root. Even though he looks like an ordinary child, he can jump and jump, but that's all he can do. He only practiced martial arts so that he could It's all about strengthening his body, not what kind of peerless master he wants to become.

Ji Wuyan nodded and said, "It's a good choice for you."

Ning Xiuyuan shook the ends of her hair, nodded when she heard the words, and replied, "It's good to be inferior in martial arts, so as not to be ignorant of the heights of the sky, the depth of the earth, and the omnipotence of the heavens and the earth."

...This is, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.Ji Wuyan felt he was in the wrong, touched his nose and said nothing.

But the man sighed softly again, "Now I know that my choices are all good, but I don't understand when it comes to me... All my confessions have been completely thrown away, it's really chilling .” After speaking, he sighed again.

This person... Ji Wuyan lowered his eyes and dodged his eyes. After a long while, he faltered and replied, "I... I promised you everything, not in the future."

"You promised to be good before."

"This time is different."

"Why is it different this time?"

"Because..." She froze for a moment, swallowed the words on the verge of her mouth, and smiled sarcastically, "I just didn't expect that Li Yuqi really wanted to kill me... Before, he was just probing, and he was a bit cautious."

Ning Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice was a little lower, and he could vaguely hear the gnashing of teeth, "So you're slacking off? Do you think it's just some harmless little joke?"

no.She never felt that the relationship with Donggong was just some harmless little jokes. Even if it was a temptation, Li Yuqi had murderous intentions, but it was not as blatant as this time.It's different this time... because, this person's coral bead string... was broken.

The coral beads that shattered into powder and scattered in the wind, those beads that were stained with dust and blood and could not be wiped off after drying, splashed down on her chest one by one, causing pain.So this time... different.

She is very strong. Even though she has many powerful partners around her, she always feels that she is strong. She can deal with all dangers alone, and she can protect everyone around her.

She knew since she was a child that she was responsible for the future of the entire Ji family. Whether she wanted to or not, there was a whole family behind her.

Not only the Yunzhou Ji family, but also the ancient tribe that still lives in seclusion outside the Great Wall.

Therefore, she knew since she was a child that she is different from many girls. She needs to be independent, strong, and responsible, and she needs to face many things alone...

She cannot be relied upon.

She is used to not explaining, not discussing, not asking for help... If there must be something, then that person, probably the ancient house, is now thousands of miles away in the ancient house in the ancient family's headquarters... until today, until now Just now, looking at the dusty and blood-stained coral beads, she realized... Ning Xiuyuan is different from others.

That's different, unlike anyone else.

The hands that wiped his hair were obviously more familiar than before, and the hair was not pulled at all during the movements, and the gentleness softened the body and mind, like a cat whose fur has been smoothed.She stroked her temples and broken hair, looked at the man in the bronze mirror, and explained softly, "Since I agreed to you this time, of course it counts. Whenever something like this happens again in the future..."

Before the words fell, the hair was gently pulled, "Do you want to have a next time?"

"Whether there will be a next time is really not up to me... Just like today, I don't want to encounter this matter, but Li Yuqi doesn't want to be idle, he always likes to trouble me... I don't know what it is this time What's going on." As he spoke, he muttered again, "Maybe it's thanks to you, Third Master Ning... just like Princess Consonance, always chasing me like a fly, it's really troublesome, isn't it because of Third Master you?"

This little girl's mouth is really relentless.

Ning Xiuyuan put away the veil and knocked her on the head, "What do flies like to surround themselves with, don't you know? It's not appropriate to describe yourself like this."

Ji Wuyan choked, but was speechless to refute, and just stared at him in front of the bronze mirror, with a coquettish and helpless look.

Ning Xiuyuan looked at her heart itching, stretched out his hand to touch her half-dry hair, and saw Xi An waiting under the steps pacing back and forth, hesitant to speak, and patted her on the head again, softly speaking. Coaxing softly, "After a day of tossing and raining again, go to sleep for a while, I still have some things to do, I will come to you for dinner later."

Ji Wuyan nodded, as she happened to have some things to do, she should say yes, and sent Ning Xiuyuan all the way to the door.

Xi An respectfully saluted her, and then went out with Ning Xiuyuan, walked out of the yard, turned a corner, and after making sure that Ji Wuyan couldn't hear her even if she was standing in the yard, said softly, "Master, The crown prince stayed in the East Palace from the beginning to the end today, and the three people who were ambushing in Muzi Medicine Shop were not from the East Palace... There was only one person from the East Palace, and that was the last archer."

Ning Xiuyuan nodded, no surprise.

"Master, judging from today's situation, the You family has joined the Eastern Palace's camp... The leftist forces are growing day by day, and the Eastern Palace may be getting restless..."

As the power grew day by day, the ambition that followed naturally became more and more irresistible... Ning Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, then asked, "How is Your Majesty?"

"There is news from the palace, Your Majesty..." Xi An pondered for a moment, then thought of a milder way of saying, "It's not very good. According to Imperial Physician Qin, it might not be an ordinary wind and cold..."

It's not just an ordinary wind chill, it's...artificial?Ning Xiuyuan subconsciously clasped his wrists with his hands behind his back, only to realize that the coral beads had been left in Muzi Pharmacy...
