Chapter 6-4: The Stratagem Revealed
Immediately, dozens of maidservants rushed in from the door of the main hall, all of them lowered their heads, their faces were frightened, especially the Chunhua group in Chonghuayuan, their faces were even pale, and they wanted to secretly glance at Ji's family, but they were glared at by Rui Hong, and their heads hung deeper.

Immediately afterwards, two expressionless girls walked into the left and right ear doors, holding two jars with dark blue glaze in their hands, and gently placed them on the table in the middle of the main hall.
There were four lop handles hanging from the wine jar, each with a round hanging ring, very similar to the so-called crux described by Ji. The mouth of the jar was blocked by strips of cloth, as if it was afraid that the contents would climb out.
Ji Shi suddenly felt a panic, isn't this the wine jar she buried in Lijin Pavilion and Xiuwen Academy, this has already been dug up, so why do you have to talk so much nonsense, and directly dispose of Jing Yan and Yang Rou!
Gao's expression was uncertain, she paused, and then said in a loud voice: "Guizhi, take a look, are these two jars?" ”
The smile on Ji Guizhi's face suddenly stiffened, she kept thinking about the beginning and end of this matter in her heart, but she couldn't think of a reason, so she could only reply: "Mrs. Shi just described it like that, and my daughter-in-law is not sure......"
Old Taijun Gao's face was serious, and she waved her hand and said, "Open it and take a look!" ”
The two girls who were waiting with their heads bowed came up, one left and one right, and pulled out the strips of cloth stuffed inside.
There was no movement on the altar on the left, and the maid looked at Gao Shi sitting in the hall, took a deep breath, and poked her head in, and suddenly turned pale with fright, and hurriedly stuffed the strip of cloth, her arms trembled uncontrollably, and she never dared to touch the jar again.
On the other side, the moment it was opened, something white as if it was sesame seeds crawled out, which was extremely disgusting.
The girl screamed, stumbled back, and almost smashed the jar when her face was discolored, and the stools and chairs were pushed to squeak and squeak, and the warbler behind her was so frightened that her face was colorless, she just blindly screamed and ran away, completely losing her former reserve.
In the end, Ruihong gritted her teeth and stepped forward to re-plug the jar, which ended a farce.
Obviously, the jar on the left contains the termite queen, while on the right, there are thousands of worker ants. If these two jars are not discovered, then everything is over, and the palace will be plagued by termites.
The whole hall was silent, and people stared at the two jars, as if they were watching two evil spirits about to be released, and they all cowered aside.
Old Taijun Gao's eyes were deep, and he slowly moved to Ji's face, and said word by word: "How to solve it now?" ”
Ji thought that his plan had succeeded, but it seemed to be going too smoothly. She subconsciously glanced at the calm and relaxed Jing Yan on the side, and blurted out: "Naturally, I want to destroy these dirty things." ”
"In addition," Ji hurriedly added, "The things here are made up of yin qi, and my palace has always been prosperous, but I am afraid that there is something in the place where this thing is located that is compatible with the palace, so such things will be produced." Therefore, be sure to find the two extremely yin people and deal with them as soon as possible. ”
Jing Yan exchanged Geng stickers with Wang Song at the beginning, and Ji silently recorded her birthday, which happened to be born in the yin period. And Yang Rou is just a concubine, it is not easy to find a so-called identity casually, and when the time comes, whether she has conquered the palace or the child in her belly has conquered the palace, there will be no good fruit to eat.
Ji's heart was extremely beautiful, and a trace of joy had uncontrollably climbed to the corners of his mouth.
I only heard Mrs. Gao ask, "Is this really necessary?" ”
Listening to the tone, is there still a trace of patience? Ji sneered secretly, Gao really looked at Yang Rou who was pregnant, and that scene, he couldn't give up halfway!
"Yes! Old lady! At this time, everything that is at stake in the palace must be done! ”
"Good!" Gao slapped his palm on the table, pointed at the silent girls and said sharply, "Then according to Madame's wishes, pull out all the girls in Chonghuayuan, deal with the birthday carefully, and don't let any of them go!" ”
After hearing this, Ji Shi was immediately stunned. Did she hear it right, what? Chonghua Yuan? Shouldn't it be Rijin Pavilion and Shubunin?
Before she could react, she heard Jing Yan Qingling's beautiful voice ringing from one side. She wore a light lotus-colored double-patterned gold gown, and her skirt dragged down like wings. The black glow of the fallen horsetail is recognizable, and the top is slightly embellished with freshwater pearls, which makes her face even more beautiful and lovely.
At this moment, she looked natural, leaned back in the chair leisurely, completely relaxed, and said unhurriedly: "Mother don't worry, no matter what, it's just that the girl in Chonghuayuan is not good, and the horizontal and vertical have nothing to do with you, you sit down first, and then we will discuss the rest of the matter." ”
Ji Shi's whole body trembled, she didn't expect that these two already buried jars would appear in Chonghua Garden, impossible, this is impossible!
But she still held back at this moment, because she was the eldest lady of the palace, and Jing Yan was right in saying one thing, that is, no matter what, nothing would happen to her, at most she would break two girls.
But what's next?
She sat aside angrily, staring at Jing Yan not far away with irrepressible anger in her eyes. But the other party looked like he didn't care at all, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, his demeanor was elegant and natural, which made Ji Shi unable to swallow this breath.
Ji didn't know that as early as when Wang Shu's pangolin ran into the courtyard, she knew that someone had done something in Xiuwen Academy. On that day, many guards took advantage of the assassin rebellion to enter the courtyard, and it was not difficult to do anything under the dark moon and high wind. But Jingyan searched the entire courtyard, but did not find a trace of abnormality, the jar was buried very deep, and it was difficult for ordinary people to find it at all.
So, Jing Yan ordered someone to investigate the entire palace and closely monitor everyone who might do something, until Lu Gong said that there were termites in the palace, and she didn't understand what was going on.
Pangolins like to eat termites, so they naturally drill into the Academy.
There is not much time left for Jing Yan, as long as Ji Shi speaks those crooked theories and orders someone to find the altar, he will be in a desperate situation. It may be that Ji was too conceited, and said a lot of foreshadowing, giving Jing Yan a chance, she took the opportunity to win the right to inspect in one fell swoop, and deliberately delayed the time in front of the Hanging Flower Gate, which allowed Bai Li and Chu Qing to dig out these two jars from Lijin Pavilion and Xiuwen Academy respectively.
At first, she was still a little worried, for fear that Ji had buried more than two, but when she said these two jars triumphantly, a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
But she also understands that Ji's birthday is not a time of extreme yin, even if it is, she will find a back, so, I'm afraid it's not enough!
"Grandmother, I see it's almost time, bring someone up."
Mrs. Gao nodded in acquiescence.
Ji Shi is a little strange, since these two jars have been dug up, what else can he do. But when she saw a sturdy little guy who was tied up and pushed to the front of the hall, her face immediately changed.
Jing Yan glanced at the Gao family in the hall, the other party's expression was indifferent, his thin lips were tightly pursed, he smiled slightly, and asked, "Does mother know him?" ”
Ji's hands hidden in her sleeves were clasped tightly, her eyes were as sharp as arrows, and she was already extremely angry in her heart, but she couldn't say a word. Of course he knew this little guy, if it weren't for his help, how could he possibly get the termites that have become extinct in Pingjing!
But how could this person be discovered by Jing Yan!?
Jing Yan straightened her sideburns and said with a smile: "Mother naturally doesn't know such a subordinate." But what he did, it was necessary to check with his mother. ”
Ji Shi reacted suddenly, Jing Yan said "verify" instead of "tell", does this mean that his actions have been exposed?
At the beginning, she asked Qiuyue to send a letter to Ji Bing and Ji Wenbin, and they immediately arranged everything for her, and asked this little guy to send in the jar containing termites through the stall of the palace's daily transportation of goods.
But Ji wouldn't have calculated that the girl Lian'er who was abandoned by her had already become Jing Yan's eyeliner, and when the carriage came over while it was dark, she happened to pour night incense, so she told Jing Yan the news.
Jing Yan connected the clues into a line little by little, she immediately understood all the plans of the Ji family, this vicious woman, framed herself again and again, if she was safe, she investigated her affairs, she seized her power, the two of them were fine, but on the contrary, they wanted to anger her, the king of Hades!
If a dog bites someone, you can't bite back, but you can hit it!
Looking at Jing Yan's breathtaking eyes, Ji Shi hurriedly shifted his gaze and said lightly: "What is Yan Er talking about, I don't know this person, so naturally I don't know what happened, how can I verify with you?" ”
"It doesn't matter, Mother, I'll ask, you listen, and that's it."
After that, without waiting for Ji's response, Jing Yan gave Chu Qing a look, and the latter immediately stepped forward and asked sharply: "Say!" You didn't bring that dirty stuff in! ”
The little servant was wearing a blue dress, which did not look like the dress of an ordinary servant in the palace. As soon as he entered the door, he glanced at Ji's family, then lowered his head and said nothing.
A few days ago, in order to hide people's eyes, Lord Ji did not call his subordinates in the mansion, but asked people to find one from the outside, gave him one hundred taels of silver, and asked him to send things to the palace.
Unfortunately, before dawn when it was delivered, he yawned and threw away the one hundred taels that had just arrived. Later, he sneaked back to the back door of the palace to look for it, and was caught by Jingyan's people.
I thought that what was waiting for him was a severe punishment, but a person who looked like a servant girl not only returned the one hundred taels of silver he had lost, but also gave him another one hundred taels, so that he could tell the truth in the hall and keep him safe.
So, he raised his little eyes and replied with a wince, "Yes...... It was sent in by the villain. ”
"Who told you to know?"
"It's the season...... Master Ji ......"
"Full of nonsense!" Ji stood up suddenly, a pair of phoenix eyes hung high, and flames almost erupted from his eyes.
Immediately, she felt a cold gaze in the hall fall on her, Ji Shi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that she had lost her temper, and slowly continued to speak.
Jing Yan smiled, didn't seem to take Ji's gaffe in his eyes just now, and continued to ask: "Now how much Master Ji I am in the Yuan Dynasty, you can tell which one it is, don't wronged a good person in vain." ”
The little guy was taken aback by Ji's family, and when he saw Jing Yan's clean and soft face at this moment, he calmed down and replied seriously: "It's Lord Ji Wenbin, a scholar in front of the palace......
Jing Yan sneered, his expression a little serious: "Do you know what kind of crime it is to frame the court officials?" ”
The little guy kowtowed suddenly, and said busily: "The villain doesn't have half a lie!" Then the servant of Lord Ji came to me and gave me a hundred taels of silver, and told me to bring two jars to your house, and I know what was inside. The villain is just an ordinary person, where do they dare to frame the court officials, what I said, every sentence is true, there is absolutely no falsehood! If a few nobles don't believe it, you can call the coachman of the day or the gatekeeper of your house to come over and confront you! ”
Jing Yan nodded slightly, she took a deep breath and turned her head to the Gao clan in the hall: "Grandmother, do you need to pass them up to confront you?" ”
Gao's face became more and more ugly, she waved her hand, looking very tired: "No need, I have already asked Ruihong to verify, what he said is true." ”
At this moment, Ji Shi felt that the blood in her body was flowing from her body little by little, and she seemed to have been emptied of her body, and her heart suddenly hurt.
Gao Shi looked at her, as if looking at a dead person, and said coldly: "Gui Zhi, how do you explain this matter?" ”
"I ......" She didn't expect this to be the end, but even at this moment, she didn't want to admit it, she couldn't swallow this breath!
"Old lady! My eldest brother and I were wronged! Big brother has no reason to send such a dirty thing to our house! Everything is framed by people! Please be aware of the old lady! ”
"In this mansion, apart from you, who else will have contact with Master Ji? What kind of heart did you have to get such a thing into the house! I thought it was really a disaster, but I didn't expect that it was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster! ”
Gao's voice was very stern, and everyone present trembled with fright. Jing Yan looked at the Gao family with an angry face, and stepped forward with concern: "Grandmother, you can't be angry about such a thing, all this may be a misunderstanding, how can my mother harm our family, she has no reason!" ”
"No reason? Hum! Gao Shi gasped rapidly, his fingers almost pointed to the tip of Ji's nose, and said angrily, "It's clearly harmful!" How did you react when I didn't know that Aunt Yang was pregnant with a child? I want to ask Guanghe, how can such a woman with a small belly and chicken intestines be the housewife of the house! Even if you are a thousand and ten thousand unwilling, I can understand, why do you bother to do such a thing that harms the palace, do you know, if someone finds out, our family will be on the ground! ”
