"Are you sure?" In Yu Mingzhi's opinion, this kind of mutton fat jade ring is not rare and precious, and it can be bought in larger treasure shops.

Zhu'er nodded firmly, "Look at the scratches on the outside of this ring, at that time Shan Shilang and Gongzi had a dispute, because they were too excited, the ring flew out, rolled on the ground, and fell down the steps, it was the slave maid who went to pick it up, so I knew that there were scratches on it." ”

Yu Mingzhi took advantage of the candlelight at the head of the bed and looked at the ring carefully, and there were really some slight scratches and a very shallow crack.

Zhu'er said: "There can't be such a coincidence in this world, right? Shan Shilang's ring fell on the bed, and a book of poems with his name written on it was placed on the table, and nine times out of ten it was he who had taken us captive here to take revenge on his son's vengeance against him. ”

"No," Yu Mingzhi felt that something was wrong, "It's too much of a coincidence, and the coincidence is like someone carefully arranging and framing the situation." She held up the ring to Zhu'er, "You see, some dirt left on the inside of the ring because of the long time it has been worn, indicating that it has been worn all year round, and the size of the ring, if it falls off from the hand, it will definitely be noticed quickly." ”

"What Miss said is reasonable, but ......" a new question rose in Zhu'er's heart, "It was so easy for Miss to perceive the problem, what is the purpose of such an arrangement?" ”

Yu Mingzhi also fell into deep thought, and had many doubts about the identity of this group of people.

The night was getting deeper, and the place was too quiet and too comfortable to detect the slightest danger, except for the strange sound of insects outside, she thought. He yawned and closed his eyes to sleep.

Zhu'er approached her and whispered, "Miss atoning for your sins, the power of the slave and maid alone can't take you out of such a situation, so ...... The slave maid wants to see if there is any way to get out and reveal this place to the child, so that he can try to save you. ”

Yu Mingzhi held down her slightly trembling hand, "No, those people don't just listen to what they say." They're going to kill you. ”

Zhu'er said: "But it's not a way to be controlled by others here all the time......

Yu Mingzhi was clear. For her, it's not just her safety that worries. I was even more worried that Qin Ji had to be at the mercy of the main messenger at this moment.

She stared at the pale blue tent, which was embroidered with sinuous patterns of silver thread as thin as a hair, shining in the light of the fire. Take a closer look. It was a huge lotus flower. It was the peak of openness. It seems that you can see the delicate petals, smell the faint fragrance, and make people feel holy and flawless.

"Huh?" She frowned in confusion. The pattern of the lotus flower seemed to be a little strange, but it was not clear what was wrong for a while. She pointed to the pattern and asked Zhu'er, "Do you see what's wrong with this lotus?" ”

Zhu'er looked left and right, first it took a while to identify the shape of the lotus, and then carefully looked back and forth a few times, shook her head and said, "The slave didn't see it." ”

Yu Mingzhi continued to stare at the opening of the bed tent, vaguely feeling that he had seen the same pattern somewhere.

She tried to remember, but the memories were too vague, like looking for a needle in a haystack. Not long after, she rolled over and fell asleep.

Zhu'er thought she was thinking about the problem at first, but after waiting for a while, she didn't see the young lady make a sound, and when she looked again, she found that Yu Mingzhi had actually fallen asleep.

She smiled and shook her head, tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and then turned over and faced in, as if she was sleeping, but she was actually paying attention to the movement outside.

At night, there was not the slightest movement in the house.

It's obviously in the bustling capital, but this place seems to be isolated from everything in the outside world.

Zhu'er is not sleepy, always paying attention, and only hopes to do more to protect the good lady.

At this moment, in the alley diagonally opposite the gate of the Yang family, two carriages were parked relatively closely, and the dim candlelight reflected on the curtain, and two figures faintly appeared.

Inside the car, there is a chessboard, crisscrossed by black and white.

Qin Ji, who was holding the sunspot in his hand, glanced at the person opposite, gently placed the chess pieces somewhere on the chessboard, and asked casually: "Is it just to play chess in the middle of the night in the uninhabited alley when Shan Shilang came out of me?" ”

Shan Jing is leisurely, "Isn't it also very interesting? ”

Qin Ji said: "I don't like to beat around the bush. ”

Shan Jingwei squinted her eyes and smiled, and a few folds at the corners of her eyes looked extremely kind, "I think that at the beginning, when my beloved beauty and I spent the moon before the moon, you and Gu Zhongyi came to make trouble, and told Zhongshu Ling about it, so that I was not only preached by Zhongshu Ling, but also made the beauty think that I was useless, and I left without even packing my baggage." I suffered from lovesickness, and I haven't seen any improvement to this day. ”

Qin Ji said: "If you face me, your illness will not be better." ”

"Hahaha, Qin Sheren is really good at joking." Shan Jingwei let go of Baizi, "Since my lovesickness has not recovered until now, then the resentment in my heart naturally cannot be relieved." ”

Qin Ji said: "So you are treating others in the way of others today, so that I also miss and worry about it?" ”

"In the capital, from the Son of Heaven to the people, who doesn't know that Qin She loves his wife like his life?" Shan Jing sighed, "I don't know how the people of Qin She are feeling now?" ”

Qin Ji asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

Shan Jingwei raised his eyes to look at him, his handsome and gentle face was still so dazzling in the dim candlelight, and his deep eyes were like a cold pool, dark and bottomless, coldly completely enveloping him from head to toe.

However, although people are cold, they do not see the slightest expression of anger or worry.

is really an inscrutable man, even when they first met, he suspected that the rumors outside were false, otherwise how could he be so calm and indifferent to play chess with him for more than an hour?

He put away the folding fan with a "snap", lit a few places on the chessboard, and sighed: "Miss Guo was taken away, but Qin Sheren's mind was not panicked at all. Shan really admires and admires. ”

Qin Ji raised his hand to flip over the chessboard, and the chess pieces fell to the ground, which was particularly loud in the silent night.

"No nonsense."

Shan Jing is clapping. "Qin She people are refreshing. I only have two things I want to ask the Qin Sheren, the first is to find my beauty who has been missing for many days, and the second is ......" His eyes flashed with shrewd calculation, "I hope you will say a few kind words in front of the Zhongshu Order, and when he arrives at the end of the year, he will choose me as the new Zhongshu Order." ”

"Oh?" Qin Ji sneered.

Shan Jing smiled slightly in the face of his disdain, "I know that the old man likes Gu Zhongyi, so this matter has to be bothered by the Qin Sheren." "That being said, but it is easy for Qin Ji, a person from Wupinshe, to achieve this matter.

Although the old Chinese book order can nominate candidates. But the appointment of officials above the third grade. The final decision is in the hands of the current emperor. As the emperor's most trusted courtier, as long as Qin Ji said a fluttering word, wouldn't he be able to achieve his wish and become the right minister of the court?

The folding fan taps gently in the palm of your hand. He continued: "I know how to measure. I also know that I am shallow in learning. doesn't have that much ability, so in the future, everything will still be like the Zhongshu Order, all of which will depend on the Qin Sheren. Qin She's talents are eight buckets high. The pillar of the country, it's a pity that he is too young and his qualifications are too shallow, otherwise where would it be my turn to do the position of the right minister? ”

He threatened Qin Ji, so naturally he had to show good intentions, otherwise even if he was in power in the future, I am afraid that he would be plotted by Qin Ji.

It's better for you to come and go and seek common interests, so that it can last longer.

Qin Ji said: "Why should Shan Shilang be modest, your talent is obvious to all in the court." ”

He meant something, and Shan Jingwei listened to it and smiled, "hehe".

"If the people of Qin She can fulfill my wish, Miss Guo will naturally send it back to you safe and sound."

Qin Ji said: "Okay." ”

He agreed too quickly, Shan Jingwei was stunned for a moment, and after quickly reacting, he clapped his hands and laughed, "Then let's make a decision, I will wait for the good news of the Qin Sheren." ”

Qin Ji nodded and did not speak.

Shan Jing got out of the carriage satisfied, jumped out of the carriage with the help of the attendant, and looked back, cautiously breathing a sigh of relief.

Threatening people like Qin Ji, obviously holding the handle firmly in their own hands, they couldn't help but be terrified, and the ease just now was all disguised.

Not to mention...... Under the moonlight, Shan Jingwei's eyes were even deeper, and his clenched fingers almost pinched the handle of the fan.

He made an extremely dangerous move.

He had to seize this opportunity, otherwise his dream of becoming a Zhongshu Ling and holding power would probably not be realized for the rest of his life.

Back in his carriage, he hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and said to the attendants beside him: "Seek skin with the tiger, seek skin with the tiger......"

On Qin Ji's side, he picked up the cold tea and drank it in one gulp.

Hang Yang got into the car and asked in a low voice, "My subordinates have already sent someone to follow Shan Shilang, do you need to take him down in exchange for Miss?" ”

Qin Ji shook his head, "Do people outside have any news coming back?" ”

"Not yet." Hang Yang lowered his head and blamed himself, "My subordinates have sent more people to search for Miss's whereabouts, even if the entire capital is turned upside down, it will not live up to Childe's expectations." ”

Qin Ji was silent.

Hang Yang pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Does the son really want to promise Shan Shilang?" ”

Qin Ji suddenly hooked the corners of his lips, "It's also fun to let him daydream." ”

"Miss ......"

Qin Ji waved his hand and put down the empty teacup, "It wasn't he who took the branches." ”

He turned his head to look at the bright moon in the night, and his brows couldn't help but show a trace of worry.

Hang Yang asked, "Childe, are you going back home now?" I have to go to court early tomorrow morning, and there are some other things that need to be dealt with, so it is better to rest and recuperate. ”

"Nope." Qin Ji categorically refused, "Let's go there." ”

He wrote a word in Hang Yang's palm.

Hang Yang's heart froze, and his brows tightened, "Yes, Childe!" ”

The carriage ran out of the alley and passed by the patrolling Jin Wuwei. The officers and soldiers ignored the carriage with the lantern with the word "Qin" and allowed it to gallop away at the curfew.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu'er didn't sleep all night but was still in good spirits, and waited for a long time, until the candle at the bedside struggled to go out a few times, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke, and the bright sunlight outside passed through the window paper, and the heat began to permeate the room, and she didn't hear the birds and chickens that should be in the morning.

This yard is so weird.

The woman quickly brought hot water and breakfast, and quietly looked at Yu Mingzhi, who was serving Yu Mingzhi in a new dress.

"Did Miss sleep well last night?" Pearl, as she normally wouldn't exist, asked.

Yu Mingzhi is in good spirits, his eyebrows and eyes are infinitely radiant, and after wearing the skirt, he rotates in place, and the fluttering skirt is like a blooming lotus.

The light pink dress lined her fair and delicate face, bright and moving.

"Thankfully, I don't recognize the bed." She said.

Then the woman spoke, "Miss, please have breakfast, for in an hour there will be something that will require you to move." ”

Zhu'er said: "Now that we are all here, what should be made clear, right?" What's the point of being secretive any longer? ”

"That's up to my master." The woman said coldly and turned to leave.

After Yu Mingzhi finished freshening up, he didn't rush to eat breakfast, but pushed open the floor windows first.

When the scenery outside came into view, she exclaimed in amazement, "It's so beautiful." ”

Outside is a lotus pond, pink flowers swaying in the breeze, a piece of emerald green lotus leaves like a delicate beauty with wide sleeves, dancing and swaying with the wind, beautiful people are reluctant to take their eyes off.

But soon, she looked at the house in the distance.

Rows of willow trees surround the shore, sheltering most of the houses, leaving only a small piece of roof. And farther away, it may be planted with pine and cedar trees, which seem to completely block the outside world and surround this beautiful scenery in the "copper wall and iron wall".

Zhu'er said: "These people are really cautious, so they can't tell where we are by the distant scenery. ”

Yu Mingzhi looked at the three nursing homes with sticks walking by the shore in the distance, and retreated to the table.

Breakfast is rice porridge with mung beans, a plate of pickled cucumbers, and a plate of steamed buns.

She stirred the porridge water with chopsticks a few times, did this happen to be mixed with mung beans, or did she know that she liked to eat them?

If she knows her preferences and makes it, then this person must have a closer connection with the people around her, and be able to know her preferences from the mouths of some people, so as to arrange them.

She looked at the dress on her body again, it was the right size and length, as if it was tailor-made.

If it weren't for Qin Ji, it would be impossible to make such a joke at all, and she would even suspect that this was actually Qin Ji's other garden.

Zhu'er was willing to let her eat it after testing for poison as usual.

After breakfast, the woman did not come to collect it immediately, Yu Mingzhi simply pulled Zhu'er to sit on the rocking chair on the wooden platform, looking at the beautiful scenery of this lotus pond, and always paying attention to the appearance and clothing of the people who came and went.

An hour later, the woman retreated to open the door again, this time she asked the two young maids to take away the dishes and chopsticks, walked behind Yu Mingzhi by herself, and said in a voice that was neither high nor low, neither warm nor lukewarm: "Girl, my master has an invite, please come and see you."
