Chapter Ninety-Six: Secret Letter

Li Jin learned from her mother that a few days after her father had a night talk with her study that day, he was called back to the scene of the suburban worship ceremony. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, there were only two masters left in the house, Li Mu and Li Jin, so Li Jin resumed his daily routine.

Although the Li Mansion is not small, there are not many attendants in it - it is also because Li's father and Li mother prefer a quiet relationship. In addition, Mrs. Li usually rules very strictly, and the rewards and punishments are clear, so Mrs. Li does not need to get up early, so Li Jin can only get up after three o'clock in the sun, go to her mother to say goodbye, and the next day can be spent with nothing.

It's just that now Li Jin no longer has the usual peace to enjoy, as soon as people calm down, their minds are immediately full of messy things. In order to give herself a little rest, sometimes Li Jin would take out the ancient jade that the emperor had handed over to him along with the secret letter to enjoy it, and the delicate mechanism on it could temporarily make her forget her worries.

For example, now, with no one around, Li Jin was sitting alone in the study of Jinyue Pavilion, playing with the ancient jade that seemed nothing new in the daylight, and could even be said to be too simple.

There was an occasional breeze under the window, and today was a rare day since the beginning of winter, and the sun seemed to be full of temperature. Sitting on the beauty couch under the window, Li Jin tried her best to let the sunlight surround her as much as possible, probably subconsciously feeling that it seemed that there would be less haze in her heart.

The ancient jade in his hand will emit a strange light under the candlelight at night, and that strange scene makes Li Jin unforgettable for a long time, and he still remembers it vividly. It's just that at this moment, looking in the sun, the jade pendant in his hand does not have any reflective appearance, and even the ancient jade itself will give people a dull illusion. If it weren't for the smoothness and coldness of the tentacles, it would even make people mistakenly think that it was just a slightly carved stone.

Li Jin took it out into the sunlight again and looked at the sky through the ancient jade. There was still no reaction, the daylight was close to noon and today's weather was particularly good, but the ancient jade seemed to be integrated, and no light came through at all. Could it be that this thing can only be used at night? Li Jin put down his hand in confusion and rubbed it in the palm of his hand.

Or is there something in this jade that only reacts under the light of a candle? Thinking of this possibility, Li Jin got up and brought the candlestick on the desk and lit the candle with a fire fold. In the daylight, except for the flickering flames in the heart of the candle, everything around is unaffected. Li Jin felt that he must have been forced to go crazy by too many things at the moment, otherwise how could he have such a whimsical idea.

It's just that when Li Jin put the ancient jade in front of the candle flame, something amazing did happen. Just like that night, a star-like light appeared in the distant sky. Fortunately, Li Jin reacted quickly, quickly removed the ancient jade with one hand, and quickly knocked down the bracket supporting the partition window with the other, converging the strange luster in the room.

Li Jin felt like a child who had done something wrong, and his voice was deafening like a drum in his chest. It's just that a moment later, Li Jin was comforting himself again, the sun was shining so brightly, even if some light flashed in the sky just now, it shouldn't be noticed. It's just that the emperor's secret envoy is afraid that he will definitely notice that Li Jin just thought of this, as if in response, the window next to him was knocked in a certain rhythm, three short and one long.

Li Jin listened to the slight knocking sound in front of the window, and knew in his heart that the sound could not be made by his own attendant at all, and that the servant would knock on the master's window like this? Even if he didn't understand the meaning, Li Jin knew that it was probably to let him open the window quickly and take out the letter to be delivered. Because at this time, someone may pass by at any time under the porch, so the possibility of being seen is too great.

But at this time, Mo said that it was a letter, even a note, and Li Jin didn't have it by his side. Besides, even if he hastily wrote a reason and wrote something to prevaricate, it should actually be harmless, but for no reason, what did Li Jin find to report to the emperor? Especially at this time, not long after Li Jin returned from the Huaiyang Palace, did he want to throw himself into the net and say that he asked to see the emperor to report on the matter of entering the Huaiyang Palace?

A few days have passed since he returned from the Huaiyang Palace, but there has been no news of the emperor's summons or the visit to Cining Palace at the beginning, even from Concubine Jing. Only its quiet and unwavering made Li Jin more and more restless at this time, and now he is more wrong. For a while, Li Jin was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

At this time, there was another knocking sound of different rhythms on the window, two short and two long. After that, Li Jin felt as if he had seen a figure flash by the window, and then everything seemed to be quiet again. It's just that when Li Jin had just breathed a sigh of relief, there was another knock on the door behind him.

Li Jin was surprised, did he want to hide directly in his study this time? But he saw that the next moment he pushed the door in was his personal maid Xiangxue, and Li Jin finally relieved himself when he saw someone coming.

Xiangxue looked at Li Jin very curiously and said, "What kind of candle does Miss light in the daytime?" and saw the closed window behind Li Jin and said, "It's not dark on the couch when the window is closed." ”

Li Jin was in no mood to explain, so he slowly sat down on the beauty couch behind him, and put away the ancient jade in his hand without leaving a trace. There was a false alarm just now, I didn't distinguish clearly, the sound of knocking on the door was sonorous and powerful, it was normal, how could it be the same person who knocked on the window so cautiously just now. At this time, the signal of thinking about the two short and two long may be to tell Li Jin that someone is approaching, and he will come to pick up what Li Jin wants to send when he finds an opportunity.

After thinking about it in her heart, Li Jin seemed to be a little happier, and Xiangxue accidentally solved the embarrassing situation she had just had. But after a while, Li Jin's brows furrowed again, but his problem had not been completely solved, what did he write to the emperor?

Fortunately, there is Xiangxue by his side at this time, and that person will not approach here rashly, and he can think carefully about it at this time before letting Xiangxue leave.

Xiangxue put down the white fungus soup that her wife let her give to the young lady, and was about to leave the room, but Li Jin beckoned: "Xiangxue is here to help me sharpen the ink." ”

Li Jin made a gesture of writing and meditating, but in fact, it was just to delay Xiangxue from leaving the room.

Only the room between the two of them was silent again, and only the sound of ticking water was still ringing in the distance. Xiangxue was sorting out the straw paper that had dried up after Li Jin's practice, and it wasn't until she reached the sixth sheet that Li Jin waved her hand and said, "Go and rest." ”

Xiangxue doesn't know why, it's just that Miss seems to be so inexplicable a lot of times lately, Xiangxue seems to have gotten used to it, didn't say anything, and left the room after saluting.

Hearing the sound of the door closing from the outside, Li Jin took out the plain silk and cut it into a piece of paper only the width of his thumb, and began to write, and after a while, two lines of small letters appeared on the plain white paper. Li Jin got up with the note and came to the window, and sat on the couch peacefully waiting for the ink on the note to dry so that it could be rolled up, also to wait for the person who was going to pick up the secret letter.

As expected, just as Li Jin calmly counted the sound of the three hundredth water droplets, two more gentle tapping sounds sounded outside the window.

When Li Jin closed his eyes and waited, in addition to turning the things he wrote on the note, he was actually very curious in his heart. How does this messenger dress up in broad daylight, there are so few members of his family, and almost everyone knows each other, so how did he get in?

Hearing the sound of tapping at this moment, Li Jin almost happily propped up the lower fan of the pane.

Outside, there was a person dressed as a small guy standing opposite Li Jin's side, but at this time, he bowed his head deeply, as if he was afraid that his face would be seen by Li Jin. Li Jin was about to take out the secret letter in his hand as agreed, but the person outside the window threw a small bamboo tube like a bamboo stick on Li Jin's couch, and then turned around and left, the action was so fast that Li Jin almost didn't see his movements clearly, and the figure had already arrived at the edge of his yard, Li Jin looked at the person left and right, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he jumped over to the outside of his Jinyue Pavilion.

In that direction, Li Jin remembered that it should be the back garden of the mansion, where except for a courtyard wall next to his Jinyue Pavilion, the other three sides were almost directly separated from the Li Mansion and the street outside. Seeing that person's kung fu, it was probably easier to come up with the Li Mansion in the back garden. It's just that Li Jin doesn't understand, shouldn't this person come to pick up the secret letter he wants to send to the emperor, why did he send a secret letter to himself.

It's just that before Li Jin went to pick up the bamboo tube on the couch, there was a person dressed as a small guy in the distance, and before he could see it, Li Jin recognized the person's eyes, which were clearly the people who came to get the secret letter when he delivered the secret letter for the first time. Li Jin bit his lip tightly in shock, are these people really taking other people's homes as no one's land?

Li Jin felt that he should remind his mother to pay attention to his own safety, but when he thought of the other party's identity and subordinate forces, Li Jin immediately gave up the grievances in his heart. comforted himself in his heart and said: "What's the trouble, isn't it true to compare with these people because you know that the south wall is going to collide." ”

This delay, the emperor's secret envoy also came to the front.
