Chapter 47 Oh ~ Luminous Stone

"You'd better get up first. Kneel at the door now. If my father sees me later, he will think I'm bullying you again."

Ji Nanxing pulled the man up.

This damn girl doesn't look strong.

Thief heavy,

Seems solid.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. You are a righteous and strong-willed girl. I don't blame you."

Only after Ji Nanxing finished speaking did she get up.

"You are also a good girl with a big heart."

Li Jinger glanced at her, and then said in a somewhat stiff voice, "I was wrong before, I owe you a favor, from now on... I will never go against you again."

After she said that, she ran away as if she was too embarrassed to see anyone.

Leaving behind a bundle of very painful rattan whips.

"Take the whip with you!"

Ji Nanxing was stunned. How wicked was it to bring something like this to apologize? While Ji Yongchang was still in court, she immediately ordered the servants to send these things to the fire room and burn them!

Just finished processing something,
Ji Yongchang came back from court and saw Ji Nanxing destroying the murder weapon. "Why is Nanxing at the door?"

"I've been waiting for you to leave the court. Thank you for your hard work."

She looked at the crow's feet at the corners of Ji Yongchang's eyes and knew that he was in a good mood. "Dad, what good things happened when you went to court?"

"Qi admitted defeat and compensated us with two cities and a large amount of silver. Of course I am happy."

Ji Yongchang patted her shoulder and said, "Although you are a little playful on weekdays, these foreign ministers' audiences have indeed given me some good ideas. The emperor has rewarded us with many things, so come and see if there is anything you like."

The emperor's rewards were: jewelry, silver, and land deeds.

Ji Nanxing looked at the big box that was delivered.

Almost the same as she guessed.

But next to the big box, there was a small box.

She asked, "Dad, can I open this too?"

Ji Yongchang took a look and said, "That is a tribute sent by the envoy of Qi State. I heard that it is a natural gem that can glow at night. I have seen it and it looks a bit ugly. You can take it if you like it."

Glowing natural gemstones?
Ji Nanxing thought of some rare metal materials and luminescent materials.

She opened the box curiously and saw a fist-sized rock with pits like the surface of the moon.

She quickly took several steps back.

This stone,
How does it radiate energy?
Seeing her strange reaction, Ji Yongchang asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just got embarrassed for a bit."

Ji Nanxing chuckled.
It is still unknown whether this stone has radiation or not.

She didn't dare to say anything nonsense.

Ji Yongchang glared at her when he heard this. "The State of Qi only gave away 20 of these items. Your Majesty is able to give them as a reward, which is a great favor from heaven. You can't talk nonsense!"

If you don't like it,
Don’t want it.”

"I want it, I like it."

Although Ji Nanxing didn't dare to get close, he immediately expressed that he was very satisfied with this thing, "Don't snatch it from me."

The main reason is that I am afraid it really carries radiation.

Holding the stone, she returned to her room and immediately entered the laboratory.

The upgraded Kaiyang Laboratory,

There are special radiation detection instruments.

Ji Nanxing spent four hours reading the experimental instructions before learning how to use the radiation detector and then operating it...

Good guy,
All red after one test!
All data related to radiation exceed the standard!

After reading it, Ji Nanxing put on the anti-radiation suit in the laboratory tightly.

Then she remembered what her father said -

Sent by Qi State,

20 copies of this glowing stone were given away!

The State of Qi has evil intentions and is not a good person.

She put the stone into a lead box used to store radioactive materials in the laboratory, and left it in the laboratory. Then she ran out to find Ji Yongchang, "Dad, where is the envoy from Qi now?"

"Why are you asking this?" "...You'd better tell me where they are now."

"left already."

Ji Yongchang said with some pride: "This time, Qi State did not dare to be as reckless as Xia State, so they sent gifts of peace and compensation and left quickly."

run so fast!

Ji Nanxing couldn't help but complain.

They ran so fast because they knew the consequences of long-term contact with these stones. They were afraid that the people of the Great Zhou would discover them and flee early.

"Who else has this kind of stone besides us?"

"They are all with His Majesty. He can give them to whoever he wants. Nanxing, why are you asking this? What's wrong with this luminous stone?"

nothing,
It's just radiation.

Ji Nanxing thought about it and chose the most concise and clear explanation, "This kind of stone is poisonous."

"poisonous?"

Ji Yongchang frowned when he heard this, "When the minister of Qi presented it, it was checked by the imperial physician and others, and there was nothing wrong with it."

“This is the brilliance of this poison.

colorless,

Tasteless,

invisible,

You don't even have to eat or touch it, just spending some time with it every day will cause its toxicity to increase continuously.

A few months at most.

A few years at most,

The person died.”

Ji Nanxing said with some worry, "Dad, aren't you responsible for reviewing the safety of this gift?"

If it happened to our family, we would be in trouble.

"No, this item was presented to Your Majesty by the envoy of Qi in the palace."

Hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"What good is that! If there is really something wrong with the item, what will happen to your Majesty's health and the others who received it?"

At that time, the envoys of Qi State

They boasted about it as if it were a god.

The emperor must have given it to the concubines and princes in the harem, and the ministers who consolidated the previous dynasty. Twenty of these luminous stones are enough to quietly kill important figures in the Great Zhou Kingdom, including the emperor and the princes...

Such sinister intentions,

It makes people break out in a cold sweat.

"Come on, follow me into the palace and report this to the emperor!"

Ji Yongchang was about to go out, and Ji Nanxing quickly called him back, "Father, I know you are anxious. But have you ever thought about whether we will be questioned if we talk about this matter now without any evidence?"

Ji Nanxing was very touched by her father's unconditional belief in her.

But the officialdom is not your home. If you say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, you will have to pay the price!

Ji Yongchang frowned when he heard this. He also knew the complexity of the matter. "So what should we do now?"

"Go ask if anyone else has this kind of stone. Put several of them together, and the radiation will be even greater. Put mice in it and let the facts speak for themselves.

And the people of Qi brought these stones, so someone must have had long-term close contact with them. If you can catch them, you can bring them back and observe them carefully. "

Ji Nanxing gave two solutions.

After hearing this, Ji Yongchang took action immediately.

Unfortunately, he was not popular in the court, and it was even more difficult to borrow stones from others. After hitting the wall several times, the carriage finally stopped at the door of the eldest prince's mansion outside the palace.

Finally, he borrowed the first luminous stone from Pei Jingcheng.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will return this intact in a few days."

Pei Jingcheng said gently, "Your Excellency can use it for as long as you want, but I am very curious, what do you use it for?"

When Ji Yongchang was asked, he did not hide anything: "Your Highness, it was actually my daughter who discovered that this thing was unusual. I am afraid that Qi State has evil intentions. So I collected other luminous stones and went to verify it!"

Pei Jingcheng raised his eyes, "Miss Ji said so?"
