Concubine Jinghua
Chapter 181 See Through His Trick
Chapter 181 See Through His Trick
The visitor was dressed in black, which is rare in the palace. What made Ji Chenxi even more horrified was that the visitor's face was covered with scars, intertwined with each other, which looked very terrifying. What frightened Ji Chenxi was that the visitor didn't seem to pay any attention to the scars on his face, and didn't even intend to cover them with a veil.
Who is she?Walking in the harem dressed like this, why didn't they get stopped by anything?What is she doing in Xingyuan?
One question after another came to Ji Chenxi's mind, but she didn't have any answers.
"Miss Xi'er, why don't you come down? Be careful not to fall."
The sudden words of the visitor made Ji Chenxi break out in a cold sweat. Could it be... Does she know that I have been on the roof?
"Miss Xi'er, if you don't come down again, I don't mind asking you to come down." Facing the provocations again and again, Ji Chenxi no longer evaded, jumped lightly, and landed directly in front of the visitor.
The close contact allowed Ji Chenxi to confirm at a glance that this face was not her real face. Although the human skin mask was exquisitely made, the ear heels did not fit together a little, which made Ji Chenxi sure of this.
When Ji Chenxi was looking at the visitor, the visitor was also looking at Ji Chenxi up and down. Unlike Ji Chenxi, the visitor's eyes were full of sadness. Such eyes made Ji Chenxi more concerned about her identity. Curiosity arose.
"I am the late emperor's woman, Xingyuan is where I used to live." As if knowing the question in Ji Chenxi's mind, the woman directly revealed her identity.
"The late emperor's women? Didn't all the late emperor's women leave the palace or be buried?" Ji Chenxi was a little shocked by the woman's answer.
He couldn't help but carefully looked at the woman again.The scars on the woman's face looked very hideous, but Ji Chenxi could see that she had a pair of pupils that were as clear as water, without any impurities.
"It's not important, what's important is, why did you appear in Xingyuan?" The woman's voice suddenly became extremely sharp, and even those clear and beautiful eyes were instantly cast a gloomy light.
"I..." Ji Chenxi was about to tell about Xingshu being drugged, but the woman's face suddenly became very nervous. She was about to ask what's wrong, but the woman jumped onto the roof. Ji Chenxi When he wanted to catch up, he saw Gillian running into the apricot garden in a panic.
Seeing the figure of a woman leaping nimbly on the roof, Ji Chenxi's eyebrows were tightly knit together.
"Miss Xi'er, are you alright?"
Seeing that Ji Chenxi was safe and sound, Gillian let out a long sigh of relief.
Fearing that Gillian would faint again, Ji Chenxi had no choice but to take her out of Xingyuan.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a panic? Have you seen a woman in black with knife marks on her face?"
"The woman in black?"
Gillian looked puzzled. "I've been hiding behind that tree, and I haven't seen the black-clothed woman you mentioned at all? Miss Xi'er, you... are you sure someone has entered the apricot orchard?"
Hearing Gillian's words and looking at the big tree she was pointing at, Ji Chenxi's heart skipped a beat. She could clearly see that the woman walked into the apricot garden through the main entrance. If so, Gillian would definitely see it. , but... But why doesn't Gillian have any impression of this woman?
What's going on in this?
The more Ji Chenxi thought about it, the more confused he became, and suddenly he felt that time had changed.
"You came to me in a hurry. What's the matter?" Ji Chenxi asked himself to give up on chasing this woman.
"It's the emperor, the emperor has already gone to the bamboo garden, so... that's why I came to call you."
Ji Chenxi nodded, and quickly returned to the bamboo garden with Gillian.
"Xi'er, where have you been?" Li Jianyang, who had been waiting for a while, saw Ji Chenxi, and walked in front of her with a few strides.
"I... I went to the apricot orchard."
Ji Chenxi told Li Jianyang exactly what happened just now, and she deliberately mentioned the woman with the human skin mask.
"Are you sure there is such a woman?" Li Jianyang, who had heard everything, had a layer of icy chill in his brows. When did such a woman appear in the palace?
"You do not know?"
Seeing Li Jianyang's expression, Ji Chenxi was even more surprised. If even he didn't know the woman's origin, then this matter would be more complicated.
"I remember very clearly that when the late emperor passed away, I personally asked these women, if they were willing to leave the palace, I would give them a certain silver reward and let them start a new life. The emperor was buried, so I don't have the impression of the woman you mentioned. And I can be sure that among the women of the former emperor, there is absolutely no one who has such a powerful lightness kung fu."
She can easily jump onto the roof and quickly leave under Ji Chenxi's nose. This woman is definitely not easy.
"I must find out who this woman is."
Seeing Ji Chenxi's frown all the time, Li Jianyang couldn't help feeling distressed, and reached out his hand to her beautiful eyebrows.
"Leave this matter to me to investigate. I only hope that my woman can have a happy and happy life." Knowing that Li Jianyang really loves her, Ji Chenxi snuggles into his arms with a smile on her face.
In order to thank Li Jianyang for his love for her all the time, Ji Chenxi chose to cook by herself today and cook some of her favorite dishes in modern times for him.
but……
Li Jianyang was excitedly waiting for Ji Chenxi to make a meal for him, but when Gillian put the meal on the dining table, Li Jianyang was dumbfounded.
"Xi'er, are you... sure you can eat these?"
Li Jianyang asked Ji Chenxi with some doubts.
"Of course I can eat it. Your Majesty, don't worry, Xi'er has already tasted it, and the taste will definitely not be bad." Li Jianyang doubted her own craftsmanship, but Ji Chenxi didn't feel unhappy, because the meals she cooked Point, to an ancient man, it is simply Tianfangyetan.
"Why are the fish heads still moving? Why are these cucumbers sour? Xi'er, are you sure these cucumbers are not broken?"
Li Jianyang, who took a bite of cucumber, immediately smelled a sour smell in his nose, which made his sword eyebrows tightly wrinkled together.
"Are you sure you must have such doubts? They have been preparing for a long time."
Seeing Ji Chenxi's weeping little face, Li Jianyang quickly put the cucumber into his mouth regardless of the three sevens and twenty ones.
It wasn't until the cucumber was in the mouth that Li Jianyang was sure that the taste he smelled was completely different from the taste he ate.
The sour feeling is mixed with a hint of sweetness, and there is also a taste that I can't describe, but it is delicious.
Li Jianyang took several bites in succession.
Seeing Li Jianyang eating so happily, Ji Chenxi finally showed a happy smile on his little face.
"Your Majesty, please try this."
Ji Chenxi put her specialty...boiled fish in front of Li Jianyang, but Ji Chenxi's boiled fish was different from others, her fish head was still moving.
"Xi'er, this... I still don't want to eat this."
Seeing the slightly moving fish head, especially the fish's eyes, Li Jianyang felt a creepy feeling.
"No, you must eat, and eat up all of it." Ji Chenxi said with her hands on her waist, with a coquettish expression on her face.
"But..." Li Jianyang sighed softly, and helplessly put the bamboo chopsticks in his hand in front of the fish.
"Is it tasty?"
Seeing Li Jianyang carefully put a small piece of fish in his mouth, Ji Chenxi couldn't help asking anxiously.
"It's so spicy..." This was Li Jianyang's first feeling. "Fresh, the taste is particularly delicious, and there is a feeling of numbness."
When the aroma of boiled fish was completely filled in his mouth, an excited smile appeared on Li Jianyang's handsome face.
"Xi'er, your craftsmanship is amazing."
Li Jianyang, who ate several mouthfuls one after another, Junmei turned red because of the spicy food, especially his eyes, which were even brighter because of the delicious boiled fish.
"My craftsmanship has always been good, but I don't usually have the opportunity to do it, and no one likes to eat it." When he said the last sentence, Ji Chenxi's face was a little dark, yes, the modern self, besides killing people, is killing people, Even with Zhong Shuo.The discussion is also about performing tasks, how can I have time to make these meals?
"Xi'er, what's the matter?" Seeing Ji Chenxi's suddenly disappointed expression, Li Jianyang couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"I'm fine, eat quickly, you must eat all of it today."
Li Jianyang's deep and magnetic voice brought back Ji Chenxi's thoughts, and she regained a smile on her face, her smile was very sweet, that silver bell-like laughter made Leng Yanran standing outside the bamboo garden, Trembling with anger.
After eating, Li Jianyang and Ji Chenxi sat in the middle of the courtyard, admiring the bright stars in the sky with a relaxed expression.
the same moment
Regardless of the maid's stop, Leng Yanran forcibly broke into Xiao Shen'er's bedroom. Seeing Leng Yanran and Xiao Shen'er who was meditating, her expression became very gloomy.
"Ran Guifei, trespassing on my bedroom without authorization, are you guilty?" Xiao Shen'er shouted coldly, completely devoid of her usual gentleness.
The sound of being a noble concubine made Leng Yanran's heart skip a beat, but her face remained calm.
"Queen, you said that you wanted to help Ran'er win the emperor's heart, but now...the emperor is still spending time with that woman, you...how do you want Ran'er to gain a foothold in this palace?"
Thinking of the picture of Ji Chenxi and Li Jianyang embracing each other intimately, Leng Yanran's face was full of jealousy.
Xiao Shen'er sighed lightly.
"This palace is already in danger. Do you think that this palace is still capable of helping you win the emperor's heart?" Since the last time the emperor saw that book, Xiao Shen'er knew that her situation was over. Once you get rid of the people who are useful to you, you can be sure that your plan will never be realized in this life.
"Queen Mother, if you don't help Ran'er, Ran'er will tell Emperor Li Yan to let him..." Before Leng Yanran finished speaking, Xiao Shen'er burst out laughing.
"Leng Yanran, do you think that threatening me with Li Yan will achieve your goal?" Xiao Shen'er snorted coldly. "This Palace will never be threatened by any threats, including you, who come here, to drive Concubine Ran out."
As soon as Xiao Shen'er finished speaking, the two nuns came in front of Leng Yanran.Holding her arm, he wanted to drag her out of the hall.
"presumptuous."
A cold light quickly flashed across Leng Yanran's eyes, and she directly threw the two old nuns to the ground with force with both hands.
"You...you actually know martial arts? Concubine Ran, are you really hiding yourself?" Xiao Shen'er couldn't help being startled when he saw his two nuns being easily thrown to the ground by Leng Yanran.
Leng Yanran came to Xiao Shen'er with a ferocious face.
"If you can't protect yourself, how will Ran'er survive in the harem? Queen Mother, Ran'er can give you one last chance. Do you want to help Ran'er?"
Leng Yanran's threat caused an evil light to flash across Xiao Shen'er's eyes.
"I can help you, but..." Hearing Xiao Shen'er's tone of compromise, Leng Yanran was finally relieved. "But what?"
Xiao Shen'er clung to Leng Yanran's ear, and revealed her plan.
"what?"
After hearing Xiao Shen'er's plan, Leng Yanran's face changed drastically, those charming eyes looked at Xiao Shen'er in disbelief, as if looking at a stranger.
"This is the only thing I can do to help you. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. I'm tired, so you can go down."
Leng Yanran glanced at Xiao Shen'er, and finally left her bedroom.
Leng Yanran, who returned to her dorm, kept thinking about what Xiao Shen'er said in her ear just now, could it be... Do you really want to find the person Xiao Shen'er said?
"Concubine Ran, outside... there is a man outside who wants to see you."
The maid serving Leng Yanran came to her and said softly.
"A man wants to see Ben Gong?" Leng Yanran raised her eyebrows in surprise. "In this harem, apart from eunuchs, how could there be men? Little girl, are you crazy about men?"
Leng Yanran reprimanded her court lady loudly.
"Ran Guifei, it's true, there is a man who really wants to see you."
The court lady who was concubine Leng Yanran was very wronged.
"Okay, I'll see who has such a great ability and dares to come to my bedroom."
With the help of the maid, Leng Yanran left the inner room and went directly to the main hall of the bedroom.
Sure enough, there was a man with his back facing him, the unfamiliar back made Leng Yanran's beautiful eyebrows tightly knit together.
"Who are you? You are so courageous that you dare to break into the main hall of this palace. Someone, take him down." As soon as Leng Yanran gave the order, several guards rushed into the main hall, but after recognizing the man, When it came to identity, I couldn't help being a little surprised.
"Go and inform the emperor."
One of the guards ordered his subordinates not to delay, and sneaked out of Leng Yanran's bedroom when no one was paying attention.
Knowing that the emperor was in Zhuyuan, the little guard rushed to Zhuyuan quickly.
"Are you sure it's Ji Lichen?"
Li Jianyang raised his thin lips playfully, he never thought that Ji Lichen would be so bold as to break into Leng Yanran's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, this servant can see clearly that it is indeed the former Crown Prince."
Li Jianyang nodded, seeing Ji Chenxi's interested little face, his thin lips couldn't help evoking a doting smile.
"Since my Xi'er wants to join in the fun, then I will accompany you to the end."
The two quickly arrived at Leng Yanran's bedroom. Li Jianyang didn't tell anyone, so he directly took Ji Chenxi's little hand and walked into Leng Yanran's main hall.
When seeing Li Jianyang, Leng Yanran's expression changed drastically, and she knelt down on the ground with a plop.
"Your Majesty, you... why are you here?"
Leng Yanran was frightened half to death, she couldn't help being full of hatred for the man who just broke into her bedroom but didn't say a word.
"I heard that there is a man hidden in the imperial concubine's palace, of course I want to come and see the true face of this man?"
With an intriguing smile on Li Jianyang's handsome face, he came to Ji Lichen unhurriedly.
"Brother Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how have you been?"
Obviously, Ji Lichen didn't expect that Li Jianyang and Ji Chenxi would arrive so quickly. When he saw Ji Chenxi, his long and narrow peach eyes suddenly burst into anger, and his eyes were bloodshot. The eunuch's culprit was Ji Chenxi, and Ji Lichen wished he could kill her himself.
She knew where Ji Lichen's hatred came from, but Ji Chenxi didn't have any fear. If there was a second time, she would still choose the same way to deal with this man.
"Ji Lichen, it's been a long time. I didn't expect to see you in the emperor's imperial concubine's bedroom after so many days. But Xi'er really wants to know, are you, who is no longer a man, still capable of molesting the noble concubine?"
Ji Chenxi ignored the murderous look in Ji Lichen's eyes, but looked at him provocatively with a sweet smile on his face.
Ji Lichen's hands were clasped together angrily, and Ji Chenxi had been observing him carefully, always on guard against him making a move at any time.
What Ji Chenxi didn't expect was that Ji Lichen let go of his hands later, and that handsome face that was covered with haze just now suddenly burst into a smile.
"Li Chen pays respects to the emperor." Seeing such a respectful Ji Lichen, an intriguing smile appeared on Li Jianyang's lips.
"Brother Huang is so respectful, I really feel flattered." Li Jianyang said unhurriedly, with a lazy expression on his face, he always had a mysterious smile on his face.
The whole hall became a little strange because of Li Jianyang's sudden appearance, especially Leng Yanran, who was kneeling on the ground, had never received Li Jianyang's order to make her flat, so she didn't dare to stand up easily.
She, who has always been delicate, knelt for about a stick of incense, but felt a little unable to support herself, and bursts of pain came from her knees from time to time.
"Your Majesty, let Concubine Ran get up." As a woman, even if she doesn't like Leng Yanran, Ji Chenxi still couldn't bear to see the painful expression on her face.
"My concubine, get up."
Finally hearing the emperor's order, Leng Yanran stood up with great effort with the help of the maid. She came to Li Jianyang with a smile on her face, but she was indifferent to Ji Chenxi who was begging for her just now.
"Your Majesty, let me pour you some tea."
Leng Yanran kindly poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Li Jianyang.
"Brother Huang, what's the matter?"
Li Jianyang didn't pay any attention to Leng Yanran's flattery, those black pupils shining with wisdom always stayed on Ji Lichen's body.
"Back to the emperor, the reason why I came to Concubine Ran is because of my wife, she is too boring in the mansion, so...that's why I want to make friends with Concubine Ran, I didn't think carefully, so I rashly I came to Concubine Ran's bedroom, but I have always abided by the palace rules and stayed in the hall, and before the emperor arrived at the hall, I did not speak a word to Concubine Ran."
Ji Lichen replied respectfully, his flawless answer caused a sly gleam of light to flash across Ji Chenxi's vivid pupils.
"Ji Lichen, isn't your woman called Shui Xue?"
Suddenly hearing Ji Chenxi say Shui Xue's name, Ji Lichen froze for a moment, but then recovered his previous expression.
"Chen's woman is not named Shui Xue, and I don't know a woman named Shui Xue, Miss Xi'er is really mistaken."
Ji Chenxi was not surprised that Ji Lichen would deny the existence of Shuixue.
"Since the imperial brother's woman wants to make friends with Concubine Ran, then I decide to hold a banquet at Concubine Ran's place tonight, and come together with the imperial concubine's woman."
Hearing that the emperor was going to hold a banquet in her bedroom, Leng Yanran was very excited, she told herself that she must take this opportunity to regain the emperor's favor.
In order to get the emperor's appreciation, Leng Yanran took great pains in organizing the banquet this time, she couldn't help going to the imperial dining room to supervise the meals, and even took out the fine wine she made herself.
In the evening, Li Jianyang and Ji Chenxi came to Leng Yanran's bedroom again. Tonight, Ji Chenxi was dressed in a snow-white palace dress, and her whole body was as delicate as a green pine and as soft as a weeping willow. This made Leng Yanran in a red palace dress full of jealous.
"Ran Guifei, today is your great opportunity."
Seeing Leng Yanran in a daze, the little maid beside her hurriedly said softly beside her.
The maid's words reminded Leng Yanran, a coquettish smile suddenly appeared on her charming little face, and she walked gracefully to Li Jianyang's side with lotus steps.
"Your Majesty, Ran'er has worked so hard for tonight's banquet, what kind of reward do you want to reward Ran'er?"
As Leng Yanran spoke, she put her hand on Li Jianyang's chest, and there were thousands of amorous feelings in her coquettish phoenix eyes.
"Let go."
Li Jianyang's sudden shout made Leng Yanran startled, she quickly withdrew her hand, and looked at Li Jianyang with a terrified expression.
"How do you think I will reward a noble concubine who has had fun with other men?" Li Jianyang's understated words were like a knife, piercing Leng Yanran's heart fiercely.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Li Jianyang smiled lightly, and sat on the chair with Ji Chenxi in his arms, without any intention of paying attention to Leng Yanran.
Not much effort, Ji Lichen walked into the hall with his woman.
When seeing the woman's appearance, Ji Chenxi was a little surprised, because the woman standing next to Ji Lichen didn't look like the Shuixue she knew, could it be... Could it be that the news the emperor got was wrong?
"Xue'er is a master of disguise."
Li Jianyang's thin lips touched Ji Chenxi's ear lightly, and he said softly, his tone full of affection.
Hearing Li Jianyang's words, Ji Chenxi suddenly realized.
"Qingzhu pays respects to the emperor, and concubine Ran."
The woman bowed profusely, her posture was indescribably elegant and noble.
"Sister Xue'er, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Ji Chenxi deliberately tested the woman in front of him. Sure enough, when he heard the word Xue'er, the woman's eyes quickly flashed a look of uneasiness, but they returned to normal in an instant.
"Miss Xi'er, Qing Zhu doesn't know who Xue'er is?"
Ji Chenxi raised her red lips indifferently, and her charming eyes shone with a sharp light.
Leng Yanran ignored her, she just sat on the side, her eyes were full of vicious light.
"Concubine Ran, it's time for you to pour wine for the emperor." Hearing what the maid beside her said, Leng Yanran gave her a hard look, but she still walked slowly in front of Li Jianyang.
"Your Majesty, let me pour you some wine." Li Jianyang glanced at the maid behind Leng Yanran with ulterior motives. Just this glance had a strong intimidating force, which made the maid immediately lower her head, not daring to match his pair of eyes. Eagle eyes meet.
"Your majesty, why don't you drink?" Seeing that the wine she poured was put aside indifferently by Li Jianyang, Leng Yanran felt unwilling.
"Isn't the emperor afraid that Ran'er will poison you inside?" Leng Yanran intended to use a joking tone to alleviate the situation where she was being ignored here, but she didn't expect that Li Jianyang's eyes would immediately be covered with tears as soon as her words fell. There was a gloomy light.
"Your Majesty, Ran'er...Ran'er knows it's wrong." Leng Yanran, who didn't dare to say another word, stepped back helplessly.
"Miss Xi'er is indeed a phoenix among men. She is so beautiful that Qingzhu, who is also a woman, is full of envy." Ruan Qingzhu, the woman brought by Ji Lichen, looked at Ji Chenxi with a smile on her face.
There was a strange gleam in those clear blue eyes.
"Miss Qingzhu is also a beauty, otherwise how could Ji Lichen fall in love with you?" Ji Chenxi responded indifferently.
"Qingzhu is grateful to my husband for saving his life that day, so he is willing to stay by his side and grow old with him." Seeing Ruan Qingzhu looking at Ji Lichen obsessively, Ji Chenxi had to admire her acting skills.
If it is in modern times, she will definitely win the Oscar for Best Actress.
"Miss Qingzhu and him really have a deep relationship, which makes Xi'er sigh."
The two were chatting nonchalantly, but the gazes of Li Jianyang and Ji Lichen collided in the air from time to time, shining dazzling sparks.
A banquet ended in everyone's strange thoughts.
"Your Majesty, are you sure that Ruan Qingzhu is Shuixue?" Even after returning to the bedroom, Ji Chenxi was still full of doubts.
"I won't admit my mistake. Especially Mizuki's eyes, I will never forget her eyes."
Ji Chenxi nodded, her blood-like lips evoked a seductive smile.
The next day, Ruan Qingzhu came to the bamboo garden under the pretext of visiting Ji Chenxi.
Looking at Ruan Qingzhu, who was dressed in a simple and elegant dress, without any jewelry on her body, it was difficult for Ji Chenxi to overlap with the rebellious Shui Xue that Ximen Han had investigated.
"Miss Xi'er, these are cakes I made myself. I heard that you have always loved sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. Today I bring you some to try."
Ruan Qingzhu enthusiastically placed the cakes she made in front of Ji Chenxi.
The fragrant pastry looks very tempting.On Ji Chenxi's petal-like lips, a faint smile appeared.
"It's time to work, Green Bamboo."
Ruan Qingzhu didn't leave the bamboo garden until the evening. In order to avoid trouble, Ji Chenxi arranged for Gillian to follow her.
Not much effort, Gillian ran back to Ji Chenxi's side panting.
"Miss Xi'er, that green bamboo girl... she went to Xingyuan, and... and seemed to be holding something in her hand, but because she didn't dare to get too close, Gillian didn't see it clearly."
Gillian's words made Ji Chenxi frowned.
"Wait here, I'll go and have a look." After speaking, Ji Chenxi left the bamboo garden directly, and came to the apricot garden after a few easy leaps.
Sure enough, I saw Ruan Qingzhu leisurely admiring the apricot orchard by himself, with such a comfortable appearance that no one could see any flaws.
Ji Chenxi was full of doubts, and just as she was about to jump onto the roof, there was a rush of footsteps in her ears.
In order to avoid being discovered, Ji Chenxi quietly jumped to the top of the tree. The high position allowed her to see everything that happened in the apricot orchard clearly.
When she jumped to the top of the tree, Ji Chenxi realized that all the guards who had been waiting around the bamboo garden fell to the ground without a sound.
Ji Chenxi immediately understood everything. No wonder the woman in black was able to enter and leave the apricot garden freely. It seems that these guards have been tampered with by her.
There was a sneer on Ji Chenxi's lips. The shallow smile was like snowflakes falling on the top of the mountain, holy and clear, but with a sinister chill.
Not much effort, the woman in black appeared in Ji Chenxi's line of sight again, saw her walk into the apricot garden with a calm expression, and came to Ruan Qingzhu's side, Ji Chenxi couldn't help but grasp the trunk.
Although they couldn't hear their voices, Ji Chenxi could tell from their postures and expressions that they knew each other and had a deep friendship.
This discovery surprised Ji Chenxi, and a charming smile appeared on her cherry-colored red lips.
Perhaps because they were afraid of being discovered, the two only exchanged a few words before Ruan Qingzhu left the apricot orchard, while the woman in black cautiously scanned her surroundings, making sure no one had noticed, and quickly walked into the inner room.
Ji Chenxi who jumped down from the tree knew that there must be a secret room in the room, otherwise it would be impossible for a woman to stay in Xingyuan with peace of mind.
When Ji Chenxi returned to the bamboo garden, when she saw Li Jianyang, she told him what she had discovered.
"The woman in black again?"
Li Jianyang frowned, he was full of curiosity about this elusive woman who could stun a guard in an instant.
"I will definitely catch her out."
Li Jianyang said in a cold voice, exuding a chilly air all over his body.
the other side
Ruan Qingzhu, who returned to the mansion, took off the human skin mask on her face, and what suddenly appeared in the bronze mirror was Shui Xue's delicate and cute little face, but those eyes were full of viciousness and coldness, destroying Lost all her innocence.
"How? Any news?"
Ji Lichen, who heard Shuixue's return, quickly came to her room and asked anxiously.
"I've already met her, there's nothing suspicious about it, neither Ji Chenxi nor Li Jianyang." Shui Xue said lightly, but when Li Jianyang was mentioned, her charming phoenix eyes still flashed across A look of heartache.
"You still like that Li Jianyang?"
Seeing Shui Xue's eyes, Ji Lichen's voice became extremely sharp.
Shui Xue snorted coldly.
"Otherwise, do I like you? Ji Lichen, don't forget that we are just a cooperative relationship. What I want is different from what you want. Also, next time you enter my room, please knock on the door. No With my permission, don't come in again."
Shui Xue was very angry at Ji Lichen's trespassing into her room, she turned around and walked towards the inner room.
"Don't forget, you are my woman now."
Ji Lichen grabbed Shuixue's wrist full of jealousy, and pulled her into his arms.
"Your woman? Ji Lichen, are you sure I'm your woman? Then please tell me, how did you make me your woman?"
Shui Xue said sarcastically, those charming eyes swept across Ji Lichen's legs with ulterior motives, those eyes were full of disdain and irony.
"You..." Being stabbed by Shui Xue, Ji Lichen's face became more and more livid, and his slightly narrowed eyes also radiated a dangerous light in an instant.
"Ji Lichen, you are not my opponent, don't humiliate yourself here, you should obediently be a pawn that can save your life."
After saying this, Shui Xue pushed Ji Lichen away forcefully, and walked into the inner room without looking back.
Looking at Shui Xue's back, Ji Lichen's mouth had a icy chill, Shui Xue, when I accomplish great things, it will be your death.
Into the night
Two figures jumped neatly on the roof where Ji Lichen was, and gently lifted off a tile on it. With big watery eyes, they looked inside recklessly.
Oh my god, Ji Lichen won't be able to change the lustful nature in his body anytime this time.
I saw Ji Lichen in the room, hugging left and right, and the woman in his arms even laughed wildly from time to time. Such a picture made Ji Chenxi tauntingly curl her sexy red lips.
"What are you looking at? So serious?"
Since only one tile was uncovered, Li Jianyang beside him couldn't help raising his brows.
"I'm watching..." Ji Chenxi hesitated to speak, not knowing how to tell Li Jianyang that he was flirting with two women in Ji Lichen.
"looking at what?"
Ji Chenxi's hesitation caused a funny smile in Li Jianyang's dark pool.
He gently lifted another tile. When he saw the scene of debauchery inside, his first reaction was to cover the eyes of his beloved woman, jokingly, Ji Lichen in the room was naked from the upper body, how could the beloved woman see anything but himself? What about other men?
"You're not jealous, are you?"
Although her eyes were covered, Ji Chenxi still had a bright cherry blossom-like smile on her lips.
"I just don't want Ji Lichen's body to stain the clear pupils of my beloved woman."
After saying this, Li Jianyang jumped off the roof with his arms around Ji Chenxi.
The two had just landed when a shout came from their ears.
"Come on, there are assassins."
Hearing this shout, Li Jianyang and Ji Chenxi glanced at each other, could they be discovered?
The two quickly moved aside, and just when they thought they had been discovered, they found the guards in the mansion and all ran towards the front.
This made Ji Chenxi and Li Jianyang confirm that it was not they who were discovered, but someone else.
"Would you like to take a look?" Ji Chenxi looked at Li Jianyang with interest, and there was a hint of pleading in those phoenix eyes as pale as the first snow.
"Have I ever rejected you?" Li Jianyang looked helpless. The majestic emperor wanted to follow his beloved woman into a thief who jumped into his house. Li Jianyang had no choice but to think of it.
"Go and have a look, or else the show will be over."
There was no other way, Li Jianyang, who never knew how to reject his beloved woman, had no choice but to give up his high status as the emperor, and accompanied his beloved woman towards the direction of the crowd.
Since everyone's eyes were focused on the front, the appearance of Li Jianyang and Ji Chenxi did not attract the attention of the guards. However, in order to prevent being discovered, Li Jianyang still hid in the dark with Ji Chenxi.
Following the shrill shouts of the guards, Ji Lichen, who was having fun with the woman in the house, quickly put on his clothes and rushed to the scene.
"what happened?"
Mizuki who came after that asked with a gloomy face.
"She did wear a human skin mask."
Maybe it was because she was too hasty when she left the room, so Mizuki didn't put on the human skin mask, revealing her original face.
"Shui Xue's disguise technique is absolutely rare in the world." Li Jianyang said lightly.
"Who is making the noise? Where is the assassin?" Ji Lichen asked the guards loudly. With little effort, two guards escorted a person to Ji Lichen.
That person had a strong smell of blood, which made Ji Lichen frowned. Since the person being detained kept his head down, Ji Chenxi and Li Jianyang were also curious about the identity of that person. The people in Ji Lichen's mansion are definitely not simple characters.
"Let him go."
Shui Xue walked in front of the guard and gave orders loudly.
"This..." The guard glanced at Ji Lichen, and only let go of the man after getting his permission.
"Are you okay?" Shui Xue asked softly in the man's ear, and the man shook his head slightly.Li Jianyang clearly saw that Shui Xue was relieved.
"I'm going to take him back to the room, no one is allowed to disturb."
After finishing speaking, Mizuyuki supported the man and walked directly to her room.
"You...you just watch her take the man away like this?"
The housekeeper in the mansion came to Ji Lichen and asked in disbelief.
"Kill that man."
With a cruel order, several guards quickly rushed in front of Shuixue, immediately surrounding her and the man.
(End of this chapter)
The visitor was dressed in black, which is rare in the palace. What made Ji Chenxi even more horrified was that the visitor's face was covered with scars, intertwined with each other, which looked very terrifying. What frightened Ji Chenxi was that the visitor didn't seem to pay any attention to the scars on his face, and didn't even intend to cover them with a veil.
Who is she?Walking in the harem dressed like this, why didn't they get stopped by anything?What is she doing in Xingyuan?
One question after another came to Ji Chenxi's mind, but she didn't have any answers.
"Miss Xi'er, why don't you come down? Be careful not to fall."
The sudden words of the visitor made Ji Chenxi break out in a cold sweat. Could it be... Does she know that I have been on the roof?
"Miss Xi'er, if you don't come down again, I don't mind asking you to come down." Facing the provocations again and again, Ji Chenxi no longer evaded, jumped lightly, and landed directly in front of the visitor.
The close contact allowed Ji Chenxi to confirm at a glance that this face was not her real face. Although the human skin mask was exquisitely made, the ear heels did not fit together a little, which made Ji Chenxi sure of this.
When Ji Chenxi was looking at the visitor, the visitor was also looking at Ji Chenxi up and down. Unlike Ji Chenxi, the visitor's eyes were full of sadness. Such eyes made Ji Chenxi more concerned about her identity. Curiosity arose.
"I am the late emperor's woman, Xingyuan is where I used to live." As if knowing the question in Ji Chenxi's mind, the woman directly revealed her identity.
"The late emperor's women? Didn't all the late emperor's women leave the palace or be buried?" Ji Chenxi was a little shocked by the woman's answer.
He couldn't help but carefully looked at the woman again.The scars on the woman's face looked very hideous, but Ji Chenxi could see that she had a pair of pupils that were as clear as water, without any impurities.
"It's not important, what's important is, why did you appear in Xingyuan?" The woman's voice suddenly became extremely sharp, and even those clear and beautiful eyes were instantly cast a gloomy light.
"I..." Ji Chenxi was about to tell about Xingshu being drugged, but the woman's face suddenly became very nervous. She was about to ask what's wrong, but the woman jumped onto the roof. Ji Chenxi When he wanted to catch up, he saw Gillian running into the apricot garden in a panic.
Seeing the figure of a woman leaping nimbly on the roof, Ji Chenxi's eyebrows were tightly knit together.
"Miss Xi'er, are you alright?"
Seeing that Ji Chenxi was safe and sound, Gillian let out a long sigh of relief.
Fearing that Gillian would faint again, Ji Chenxi had no choice but to take her out of Xingyuan.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a panic? Have you seen a woman in black with knife marks on her face?"
"The woman in black?"
Gillian looked puzzled. "I've been hiding behind that tree, and I haven't seen the black-clothed woman you mentioned at all? Miss Xi'er, you... are you sure someone has entered the apricot orchard?"
Hearing Gillian's words and looking at the big tree she was pointing at, Ji Chenxi's heart skipped a beat. She could clearly see that the woman walked into the apricot garden through the main entrance. If so, Gillian would definitely see it. , but... But why doesn't Gillian have any impression of this woman?
What's going on in this?
The more Ji Chenxi thought about it, the more confused he became, and suddenly he felt that time had changed.
"You came to me in a hurry. What's the matter?" Ji Chenxi asked himself to give up on chasing this woman.
"It's the emperor, the emperor has already gone to the bamboo garden, so... that's why I came to call you."
Ji Chenxi nodded, and quickly returned to the bamboo garden with Gillian.
"Xi'er, where have you been?" Li Jianyang, who had been waiting for a while, saw Ji Chenxi, and walked in front of her with a few strides.
"I... I went to the apricot orchard."
Ji Chenxi told Li Jianyang exactly what happened just now, and she deliberately mentioned the woman with the human skin mask.
"Are you sure there is such a woman?" Li Jianyang, who had heard everything, had a layer of icy chill in his brows. When did such a woman appear in the palace?
"You do not know?"
Seeing Li Jianyang's expression, Ji Chenxi was even more surprised. If even he didn't know the woman's origin, then this matter would be more complicated.
"I remember very clearly that when the late emperor passed away, I personally asked these women, if they were willing to leave the palace, I would give them a certain silver reward and let them start a new life. The emperor was buried, so I don't have the impression of the woman you mentioned. And I can be sure that among the women of the former emperor, there is absolutely no one who has such a powerful lightness kung fu."
She can easily jump onto the roof and quickly leave under Ji Chenxi's nose. This woman is definitely not easy.
"I must find out who this woman is."
Seeing Ji Chenxi's frown all the time, Li Jianyang couldn't help feeling distressed, and reached out his hand to her beautiful eyebrows.
"Leave this matter to me to investigate. I only hope that my woman can have a happy and happy life." Knowing that Li Jianyang really loves her, Ji Chenxi snuggles into his arms with a smile on her face.
In order to thank Li Jianyang for his love for her all the time, Ji Chenxi chose to cook by herself today and cook some of her favorite dishes in modern times for him.
but……
Li Jianyang was excitedly waiting for Ji Chenxi to make a meal for him, but when Gillian put the meal on the dining table, Li Jianyang was dumbfounded.
"Xi'er, are you... sure you can eat these?"
Li Jianyang asked Ji Chenxi with some doubts.
"Of course I can eat it. Your Majesty, don't worry, Xi'er has already tasted it, and the taste will definitely not be bad." Li Jianyang doubted her own craftsmanship, but Ji Chenxi didn't feel unhappy, because the meals she cooked Point, to an ancient man, it is simply Tianfangyetan.
"Why are the fish heads still moving? Why are these cucumbers sour? Xi'er, are you sure these cucumbers are not broken?"
Li Jianyang, who took a bite of cucumber, immediately smelled a sour smell in his nose, which made his sword eyebrows tightly wrinkled together.
"Are you sure you must have such doubts? They have been preparing for a long time."
Seeing Ji Chenxi's weeping little face, Li Jianyang quickly put the cucumber into his mouth regardless of the three sevens and twenty ones.
It wasn't until the cucumber was in the mouth that Li Jianyang was sure that the taste he smelled was completely different from the taste he ate.
The sour feeling is mixed with a hint of sweetness, and there is also a taste that I can't describe, but it is delicious.
Li Jianyang took several bites in succession.
Seeing Li Jianyang eating so happily, Ji Chenxi finally showed a happy smile on his little face.
"Your Majesty, please try this."
Ji Chenxi put her specialty...boiled fish in front of Li Jianyang, but Ji Chenxi's boiled fish was different from others, her fish head was still moving.
"Xi'er, this... I still don't want to eat this."
Seeing the slightly moving fish head, especially the fish's eyes, Li Jianyang felt a creepy feeling.
"No, you must eat, and eat up all of it." Ji Chenxi said with her hands on her waist, with a coquettish expression on her face.
"But..." Li Jianyang sighed softly, and helplessly put the bamboo chopsticks in his hand in front of the fish.
"Is it tasty?"
Seeing Li Jianyang carefully put a small piece of fish in his mouth, Ji Chenxi couldn't help asking anxiously.
"It's so spicy..." This was Li Jianyang's first feeling. "Fresh, the taste is particularly delicious, and there is a feeling of numbness."
When the aroma of boiled fish was completely filled in his mouth, an excited smile appeared on Li Jianyang's handsome face.
"Xi'er, your craftsmanship is amazing."
Li Jianyang, who ate several mouthfuls one after another, Junmei turned red because of the spicy food, especially his eyes, which were even brighter because of the delicious boiled fish.
"My craftsmanship has always been good, but I don't usually have the opportunity to do it, and no one likes to eat it." When he said the last sentence, Ji Chenxi's face was a little dark, yes, the modern self, besides killing people, is killing people, Even with Zhong Shuo.The discussion is also about performing tasks, how can I have time to make these meals?
"Xi'er, what's the matter?" Seeing Ji Chenxi's suddenly disappointed expression, Li Jianyang couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"I'm fine, eat quickly, you must eat all of it today."
Li Jianyang's deep and magnetic voice brought back Ji Chenxi's thoughts, and she regained a smile on her face, her smile was very sweet, that silver bell-like laughter made Leng Yanran standing outside the bamboo garden, Trembling with anger.
After eating, Li Jianyang and Ji Chenxi sat in the middle of the courtyard, admiring the bright stars in the sky with a relaxed expression.
the same moment
Regardless of the maid's stop, Leng Yanran forcibly broke into Xiao Shen'er's bedroom. Seeing Leng Yanran and Xiao Shen'er who was meditating, her expression became very gloomy.
"Ran Guifei, trespassing on my bedroom without authorization, are you guilty?" Xiao Shen'er shouted coldly, completely devoid of her usual gentleness.
The sound of being a noble concubine made Leng Yanran's heart skip a beat, but her face remained calm.
"Queen, you said that you wanted to help Ran'er win the emperor's heart, but now...the emperor is still spending time with that woman, you...how do you want Ran'er to gain a foothold in this palace?"
Thinking of the picture of Ji Chenxi and Li Jianyang embracing each other intimately, Leng Yanran's face was full of jealousy.
Xiao Shen'er sighed lightly.
"This palace is already in danger. Do you think that this palace is still capable of helping you win the emperor's heart?" Since the last time the emperor saw that book, Xiao Shen'er knew that her situation was over. Once you get rid of the people who are useful to you, you can be sure that your plan will never be realized in this life.
"Queen Mother, if you don't help Ran'er, Ran'er will tell Emperor Li Yan to let him..." Before Leng Yanran finished speaking, Xiao Shen'er burst out laughing.
"Leng Yanran, do you think that threatening me with Li Yan will achieve your goal?" Xiao Shen'er snorted coldly. "This Palace will never be threatened by any threats, including you, who come here, to drive Concubine Ran out."
As soon as Xiao Shen'er finished speaking, the two nuns came in front of Leng Yanran.Holding her arm, he wanted to drag her out of the hall.
"presumptuous."
A cold light quickly flashed across Leng Yanran's eyes, and she directly threw the two old nuns to the ground with force with both hands.
"You...you actually know martial arts? Concubine Ran, are you really hiding yourself?" Xiao Shen'er couldn't help being startled when he saw his two nuns being easily thrown to the ground by Leng Yanran.
Leng Yanran came to Xiao Shen'er with a ferocious face.
"If you can't protect yourself, how will Ran'er survive in the harem? Queen Mother, Ran'er can give you one last chance. Do you want to help Ran'er?"
Leng Yanran's threat caused an evil light to flash across Xiao Shen'er's eyes.
"I can help you, but..." Hearing Xiao Shen'er's tone of compromise, Leng Yanran was finally relieved. "But what?"
Xiao Shen'er clung to Leng Yanran's ear, and revealed her plan.
"what?"
After hearing Xiao Shen'er's plan, Leng Yanran's face changed drastically, those charming eyes looked at Xiao Shen'er in disbelief, as if looking at a stranger.
"This is the only thing I can do to help you. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. I'm tired, so you can go down."
Leng Yanran glanced at Xiao Shen'er, and finally left her bedroom.
Leng Yanran, who returned to her dorm, kept thinking about what Xiao Shen'er said in her ear just now, could it be... Do you really want to find the person Xiao Shen'er said?
"Concubine Ran, outside... there is a man outside who wants to see you."
The maid serving Leng Yanran came to her and said softly.
"A man wants to see Ben Gong?" Leng Yanran raised her eyebrows in surprise. "In this harem, apart from eunuchs, how could there be men? Little girl, are you crazy about men?"
Leng Yanran reprimanded her court lady loudly.
"Ran Guifei, it's true, there is a man who really wants to see you."
The court lady who was concubine Leng Yanran was very wronged.
"Okay, I'll see who has such a great ability and dares to come to my bedroom."
With the help of the maid, Leng Yanran left the inner room and went directly to the main hall of the bedroom.
Sure enough, there was a man with his back facing him, the unfamiliar back made Leng Yanran's beautiful eyebrows tightly knit together.
"Who are you? You are so courageous that you dare to break into the main hall of this palace. Someone, take him down." As soon as Leng Yanran gave the order, several guards rushed into the main hall, but after recognizing the man, When it came to identity, I couldn't help being a little surprised.
"Go and inform the emperor."
One of the guards ordered his subordinates not to delay, and sneaked out of Leng Yanran's bedroom when no one was paying attention.
Knowing that the emperor was in Zhuyuan, the little guard rushed to Zhuyuan quickly.
"Are you sure it's Ji Lichen?"
Li Jianyang raised his thin lips playfully, he never thought that Ji Lichen would be so bold as to break into Leng Yanran's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, this servant can see clearly that it is indeed the former Crown Prince."
Li Jianyang nodded, seeing Ji Chenxi's interested little face, his thin lips couldn't help evoking a doting smile.
"Since my Xi'er wants to join in the fun, then I will accompany you to the end."
The two quickly arrived at Leng Yanran's bedroom. Li Jianyang didn't tell anyone, so he directly took Ji Chenxi's little hand and walked into Leng Yanran's main hall.
When seeing Li Jianyang, Leng Yanran's expression changed drastically, and she knelt down on the ground with a plop.
"Your Majesty, you... why are you here?"
Leng Yanran was frightened half to death, she couldn't help being full of hatred for the man who just broke into her bedroom but didn't say a word.
"I heard that there is a man hidden in the imperial concubine's palace, of course I want to come and see the true face of this man?"
With an intriguing smile on Li Jianyang's handsome face, he came to Ji Lichen unhurriedly.
"Brother Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how have you been?"
Obviously, Ji Lichen didn't expect that Li Jianyang and Ji Chenxi would arrive so quickly. When he saw Ji Chenxi, his long and narrow peach eyes suddenly burst into anger, and his eyes were bloodshot. The eunuch's culprit was Ji Chenxi, and Ji Lichen wished he could kill her himself.
She knew where Ji Lichen's hatred came from, but Ji Chenxi didn't have any fear. If there was a second time, she would still choose the same way to deal with this man.
"Ji Lichen, it's been a long time. I didn't expect to see you in the emperor's imperial concubine's bedroom after so many days. But Xi'er really wants to know, are you, who is no longer a man, still capable of molesting the noble concubine?"
Ji Chenxi ignored the murderous look in Ji Lichen's eyes, but looked at him provocatively with a sweet smile on his face.
Ji Lichen's hands were clasped together angrily, and Ji Chenxi had been observing him carefully, always on guard against him making a move at any time.
What Ji Chenxi didn't expect was that Ji Lichen let go of his hands later, and that handsome face that was covered with haze just now suddenly burst into a smile.
"Li Chen pays respects to the emperor." Seeing such a respectful Ji Lichen, an intriguing smile appeared on Li Jianyang's lips.
"Brother Huang is so respectful, I really feel flattered." Li Jianyang said unhurriedly, with a lazy expression on his face, he always had a mysterious smile on his face.
The whole hall became a little strange because of Li Jianyang's sudden appearance, especially Leng Yanran, who was kneeling on the ground, had never received Li Jianyang's order to make her flat, so she didn't dare to stand up easily.
She, who has always been delicate, knelt for about a stick of incense, but felt a little unable to support herself, and bursts of pain came from her knees from time to time.
"Your Majesty, let Concubine Ran get up." As a woman, even if she doesn't like Leng Yanran, Ji Chenxi still couldn't bear to see the painful expression on her face.
"My concubine, get up."
Finally hearing the emperor's order, Leng Yanran stood up with great effort with the help of the maid. She came to Li Jianyang with a smile on her face, but she was indifferent to Ji Chenxi who was begging for her just now.
"Your Majesty, let me pour you some tea."
Leng Yanran kindly poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Li Jianyang.
"Brother Huang, what's the matter?"
Li Jianyang didn't pay any attention to Leng Yanran's flattery, those black pupils shining with wisdom always stayed on Ji Lichen's body.
"Back to the emperor, the reason why I came to Concubine Ran is because of my wife, she is too boring in the mansion, so...that's why I want to make friends with Concubine Ran, I didn't think carefully, so I rashly I came to Concubine Ran's bedroom, but I have always abided by the palace rules and stayed in the hall, and before the emperor arrived at the hall, I did not speak a word to Concubine Ran."
Ji Lichen replied respectfully, his flawless answer caused a sly gleam of light to flash across Ji Chenxi's vivid pupils.
"Ji Lichen, isn't your woman called Shui Xue?"
Suddenly hearing Ji Chenxi say Shui Xue's name, Ji Lichen froze for a moment, but then recovered his previous expression.
"Chen's woman is not named Shui Xue, and I don't know a woman named Shui Xue, Miss Xi'er is really mistaken."
Ji Chenxi was not surprised that Ji Lichen would deny the existence of Shuixue.
"Since the imperial brother's woman wants to make friends with Concubine Ran, then I decide to hold a banquet at Concubine Ran's place tonight, and come together with the imperial concubine's woman."
Hearing that the emperor was going to hold a banquet in her bedroom, Leng Yanran was very excited, she told herself that she must take this opportunity to regain the emperor's favor.
In order to get the emperor's appreciation, Leng Yanran took great pains in organizing the banquet this time, she couldn't help going to the imperial dining room to supervise the meals, and even took out the fine wine she made herself.
In the evening, Li Jianyang and Ji Chenxi came to Leng Yanran's bedroom again. Tonight, Ji Chenxi was dressed in a snow-white palace dress, and her whole body was as delicate as a green pine and as soft as a weeping willow. This made Leng Yanran in a red palace dress full of jealous.
"Ran Guifei, today is your great opportunity."
Seeing Leng Yanran in a daze, the little maid beside her hurriedly said softly beside her.
The maid's words reminded Leng Yanran, a coquettish smile suddenly appeared on her charming little face, and she walked gracefully to Li Jianyang's side with lotus steps.
"Your Majesty, Ran'er has worked so hard for tonight's banquet, what kind of reward do you want to reward Ran'er?"
As Leng Yanran spoke, she put her hand on Li Jianyang's chest, and there were thousands of amorous feelings in her coquettish phoenix eyes.
"Let go."
Li Jianyang's sudden shout made Leng Yanran startled, she quickly withdrew her hand, and looked at Li Jianyang with a terrified expression.
"How do you think I will reward a noble concubine who has had fun with other men?" Li Jianyang's understated words were like a knife, piercing Leng Yanran's heart fiercely.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Li Jianyang smiled lightly, and sat on the chair with Ji Chenxi in his arms, without any intention of paying attention to Leng Yanran.
Not much effort, Ji Lichen walked into the hall with his woman.
When seeing the woman's appearance, Ji Chenxi was a little surprised, because the woman standing next to Ji Lichen didn't look like the Shuixue she knew, could it be... Could it be that the news the emperor got was wrong?
"Xue'er is a master of disguise."
Li Jianyang's thin lips touched Ji Chenxi's ear lightly, and he said softly, his tone full of affection.
Hearing Li Jianyang's words, Ji Chenxi suddenly realized.
"Qingzhu pays respects to the emperor, and concubine Ran."
The woman bowed profusely, her posture was indescribably elegant and noble.
"Sister Xue'er, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Ji Chenxi deliberately tested the woman in front of him. Sure enough, when he heard the word Xue'er, the woman's eyes quickly flashed a look of uneasiness, but they returned to normal in an instant.
"Miss Xi'er, Qing Zhu doesn't know who Xue'er is?"
Ji Chenxi raised her red lips indifferently, and her charming eyes shone with a sharp light.
Leng Yanran ignored her, she just sat on the side, her eyes were full of vicious light.
"Concubine Ran, it's time for you to pour wine for the emperor." Hearing what the maid beside her said, Leng Yanran gave her a hard look, but she still walked slowly in front of Li Jianyang.
"Your Majesty, let me pour you some wine." Li Jianyang glanced at the maid behind Leng Yanran with ulterior motives. Just this glance had a strong intimidating force, which made the maid immediately lower her head, not daring to match his pair of eyes. Eagle eyes meet.
"Your majesty, why don't you drink?" Seeing that the wine she poured was put aside indifferently by Li Jianyang, Leng Yanran felt unwilling.
"Isn't the emperor afraid that Ran'er will poison you inside?" Leng Yanran intended to use a joking tone to alleviate the situation where she was being ignored here, but she didn't expect that Li Jianyang's eyes would immediately be covered with tears as soon as her words fell. There was a gloomy light.
"Your Majesty, Ran'er...Ran'er knows it's wrong." Leng Yanran, who didn't dare to say another word, stepped back helplessly.
"Miss Xi'er is indeed a phoenix among men. She is so beautiful that Qingzhu, who is also a woman, is full of envy." Ruan Qingzhu, the woman brought by Ji Lichen, looked at Ji Chenxi with a smile on her face.
There was a strange gleam in those clear blue eyes.
"Miss Qingzhu is also a beauty, otherwise how could Ji Lichen fall in love with you?" Ji Chenxi responded indifferently.
"Qingzhu is grateful to my husband for saving his life that day, so he is willing to stay by his side and grow old with him." Seeing Ruan Qingzhu looking at Ji Lichen obsessively, Ji Chenxi had to admire her acting skills.
If it is in modern times, she will definitely win the Oscar for Best Actress.
"Miss Qingzhu and him really have a deep relationship, which makes Xi'er sigh."
The two were chatting nonchalantly, but the gazes of Li Jianyang and Ji Lichen collided in the air from time to time, shining dazzling sparks.
A banquet ended in everyone's strange thoughts.
"Your Majesty, are you sure that Ruan Qingzhu is Shuixue?" Even after returning to the bedroom, Ji Chenxi was still full of doubts.
"I won't admit my mistake. Especially Mizuki's eyes, I will never forget her eyes."
Ji Chenxi nodded, her blood-like lips evoked a seductive smile.
The next day, Ruan Qingzhu came to the bamboo garden under the pretext of visiting Ji Chenxi.
Looking at Ruan Qingzhu, who was dressed in a simple and elegant dress, without any jewelry on her body, it was difficult for Ji Chenxi to overlap with the rebellious Shui Xue that Ximen Han had investigated.
"Miss Xi'er, these are cakes I made myself. I heard that you have always loved sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. Today I bring you some to try."
Ruan Qingzhu enthusiastically placed the cakes she made in front of Ji Chenxi.
The fragrant pastry looks very tempting.On Ji Chenxi's petal-like lips, a faint smile appeared.
"It's time to work, Green Bamboo."
Ruan Qingzhu didn't leave the bamboo garden until the evening. In order to avoid trouble, Ji Chenxi arranged for Gillian to follow her.
Not much effort, Gillian ran back to Ji Chenxi's side panting.
"Miss Xi'er, that green bamboo girl... she went to Xingyuan, and... and seemed to be holding something in her hand, but because she didn't dare to get too close, Gillian didn't see it clearly."
Gillian's words made Ji Chenxi frowned.
"Wait here, I'll go and have a look." After speaking, Ji Chenxi left the bamboo garden directly, and came to the apricot garden after a few easy leaps.
Sure enough, I saw Ruan Qingzhu leisurely admiring the apricot orchard by himself, with such a comfortable appearance that no one could see any flaws.
Ji Chenxi was full of doubts, and just as she was about to jump onto the roof, there was a rush of footsteps in her ears.
In order to avoid being discovered, Ji Chenxi quietly jumped to the top of the tree. The high position allowed her to see everything that happened in the apricot orchard clearly.
When she jumped to the top of the tree, Ji Chenxi realized that all the guards who had been waiting around the bamboo garden fell to the ground without a sound.
Ji Chenxi immediately understood everything. No wonder the woman in black was able to enter and leave the apricot garden freely. It seems that these guards have been tampered with by her.
There was a sneer on Ji Chenxi's lips. The shallow smile was like snowflakes falling on the top of the mountain, holy and clear, but with a sinister chill.
Not much effort, the woman in black appeared in Ji Chenxi's line of sight again, saw her walk into the apricot garden with a calm expression, and came to Ruan Qingzhu's side, Ji Chenxi couldn't help but grasp the trunk.
Although they couldn't hear their voices, Ji Chenxi could tell from their postures and expressions that they knew each other and had a deep friendship.
This discovery surprised Ji Chenxi, and a charming smile appeared on her cherry-colored red lips.
Perhaps because they were afraid of being discovered, the two only exchanged a few words before Ruan Qingzhu left the apricot orchard, while the woman in black cautiously scanned her surroundings, making sure no one had noticed, and quickly walked into the inner room.
Ji Chenxi who jumped down from the tree knew that there must be a secret room in the room, otherwise it would be impossible for a woman to stay in Xingyuan with peace of mind.
When Ji Chenxi returned to the bamboo garden, when she saw Li Jianyang, she told him what she had discovered.
"The woman in black again?"
Li Jianyang frowned, he was full of curiosity about this elusive woman who could stun a guard in an instant.
"I will definitely catch her out."
Li Jianyang said in a cold voice, exuding a chilly air all over his body.
the other side
Ruan Qingzhu, who returned to the mansion, took off the human skin mask on her face, and what suddenly appeared in the bronze mirror was Shui Xue's delicate and cute little face, but those eyes were full of viciousness and coldness, destroying Lost all her innocence.
"How? Any news?"
Ji Lichen, who heard Shuixue's return, quickly came to her room and asked anxiously.
"I've already met her, there's nothing suspicious about it, neither Ji Chenxi nor Li Jianyang." Shui Xue said lightly, but when Li Jianyang was mentioned, her charming phoenix eyes still flashed across A look of heartache.
"You still like that Li Jianyang?"
Seeing Shui Xue's eyes, Ji Lichen's voice became extremely sharp.
Shui Xue snorted coldly.
"Otherwise, do I like you? Ji Lichen, don't forget that we are just a cooperative relationship. What I want is different from what you want. Also, next time you enter my room, please knock on the door. No With my permission, don't come in again."
Shui Xue was very angry at Ji Lichen's trespassing into her room, she turned around and walked towards the inner room.
"Don't forget, you are my woman now."
Ji Lichen grabbed Shuixue's wrist full of jealousy, and pulled her into his arms.
"Your woman? Ji Lichen, are you sure I'm your woman? Then please tell me, how did you make me your woman?"
Shui Xue said sarcastically, those charming eyes swept across Ji Lichen's legs with ulterior motives, those eyes were full of disdain and irony.
"You..." Being stabbed by Shui Xue, Ji Lichen's face became more and more livid, and his slightly narrowed eyes also radiated a dangerous light in an instant.
"Ji Lichen, you are not my opponent, don't humiliate yourself here, you should obediently be a pawn that can save your life."
After saying this, Shui Xue pushed Ji Lichen away forcefully, and walked into the inner room without looking back.
Looking at Shui Xue's back, Ji Lichen's mouth had a icy chill, Shui Xue, when I accomplish great things, it will be your death.
Into the night
Two figures jumped neatly on the roof where Ji Lichen was, and gently lifted off a tile on it. With big watery eyes, they looked inside recklessly.
Oh my god, Ji Lichen won't be able to change the lustful nature in his body anytime this time.
I saw Ji Lichen in the room, hugging left and right, and the woman in his arms even laughed wildly from time to time. Such a picture made Ji Chenxi tauntingly curl her sexy red lips.
"What are you looking at? So serious?"
Since only one tile was uncovered, Li Jianyang beside him couldn't help raising his brows.
"I'm watching..." Ji Chenxi hesitated to speak, not knowing how to tell Li Jianyang that he was flirting with two women in Ji Lichen.
"looking at what?"
Ji Chenxi's hesitation caused a funny smile in Li Jianyang's dark pool.
He gently lifted another tile. When he saw the scene of debauchery inside, his first reaction was to cover the eyes of his beloved woman, jokingly, Ji Lichen in the room was naked from the upper body, how could the beloved woman see anything but himself? What about other men?
"You're not jealous, are you?"
Although her eyes were covered, Ji Chenxi still had a bright cherry blossom-like smile on her lips.
"I just don't want Ji Lichen's body to stain the clear pupils of my beloved woman."
After saying this, Li Jianyang jumped off the roof with his arms around Ji Chenxi.
The two had just landed when a shout came from their ears.
"Come on, there are assassins."
Hearing this shout, Li Jianyang and Ji Chenxi glanced at each other, could they be discovered?
The two quickly moved aside, and just when they thought they had been discovered, they found the guards in the mansion and all ran towards the front.
This made Ji Chenxi and Li Jianyang confirm that it was not they who were discovered, but someone else.
"Would you like to take a look?" Ji Chenxi looked at Li Jianyang with interest, and there was a hint of pleading in those phoenix eyes as pale as the first snow.
"Have I ever rejected you?" Li Jianyang looked helpless. The majestic emperor wanted to follow his beloved woman into a thief who jumped into his house. Li Jianyang had no choice but to think of it.
"Go and have a look, or else the show will be over."
There was no other way, Li Jianyang, who never knew how to reject his beloved woman, had no choice but to give up his high status as the emperor, and accompanied his beloved woman towards the direction of the crowd.
Since everyone's eyes were focused on the front, the appearance of Li Jianyang and Ji Chenxi did not attract the attention of the guards. However, in order to prevent being discovered, Li Jianyang still hid in the dark with Ji Chenxi.
Following the shrill shouts of the guards, Ji Lichen, who was having fun with the woman in the house, quickly put on his clothes and rushed to the scene.
"what happened?"
Mizuki who came after that asked with a gloomy face.
"She did wear a human skin mask."
Maybe it was because she was too hasty when she left the room, so Mizuki didn't put on the human skin mask, revealing her original face.
"Shui Xue's disguise technique is absolutely rare in the world." Li Jianyang said lightly.
"Who is making the noise? Where is the assassin?" Ji Lichen asked the guards loudly. With little effort, two guards escorted a person to Ji Lichen.
That person had a strong smell of blood, which made Ji Lichen frowned. Since the person being detained kept his head down, Ji Chenxi and Li Jianyang were also curious about the identity of that person. The people in Ji Lichen's mansion are definitely not simple characters.
"Let him go."
Shui Xue walked in front of the guard and gave orders loudly.
"This..." The guard glanced at Ji Lichen, and only let go of the man after getting his permission.
"Are you okay?" Shui Xue asked softly in the man's ear, and the man shook his head slightly.Li Jianyang clearly saw that Shui Xue was relieved.
"I'm going to take him back to the room, no one is allowed to disturb."
After finishing speaking, Mizuyuki supported the man and walked directly to her room.
"You...you just watch her take the man away like this?"
The housekeeper in the mansion came to Ji Lichen and asked in disbelief.
"Kill that man."
With a cruel order, several guards quickly rushed in front of Shuixue, immediately surrounding her and the man.
