Chapter 444: Ji Xingxuan's Death

Because Da'an prevails in Yifeng, known as the peach wood known as "descending dragon wood", widely used, ordinary people can not afford to buy gold, silver and jade at home, but also value the evil spirits and seek blessings, often hang a piece of peach wood on the door beam of the house, both for peace, but also for peace of mind.

Ordinary peach wood, sold in the Yi Museum, the price is not expensive, the length of the ruler is only half a dollar, but those are not on the vintage, but where more than 50 years old, the price is several times up, the hundred years of peach wood is priceless, and the hundred years of peach roots, it is more difficult to find.

When Pei Jing heard Yu Shu's request, his face showed a hint of embarrassment, and said: "Peach wood things are mostly bought and sold in Yiguan, if they are only thirty or fifty years old, I can buy them for you at a low price." But the hundred-year-old peach root you want is rarer than Ganoderma lucidum ginseng, not to mention that there is no outside, even if someone can take it out, most of them will be snatched up by the family as soon as they show up, and it is not our turn to reach out to these merchants, and my uncle does not dare to say big things, this matter can only help you pay attention to it. ”

Yu Shu nodded with a look of disappointment: "Then I'll trouble you." ”

She had heard Qing Zheng Dao say that the essence of the five elements of yin and yang had been passed on, and she knew that the peach wood was the "essence of the five trees", and only on the peach wood roots of hundreds of years, there was a trace of innate yang energy, which could descend a hundred ghosts and suppress yin and evil.

She was inspired by the "Book of Treasures", considering that Xue Rui walked in Dali Temple and often had to come into contact with those things of the Yin Division, and it would inevitably provoke Yin evil after a long time, so she thought of borrowing a century-old peach tree root and raising a thing that could be carried with him by herself.

However, it is difficult to find this hundred-year-old peach root, so this matter can only be put on hold for a while.

Pei Jing waved his hand and said: "The family doesn't talk to each other, it's almost noon, you go back to eat, I still have a lot of accounts to check here, so I won't keep you." I'll give you an answer to the matter of the water spirit the day after tomorrow at the latest. ”

Yu Shu then said goodbye to Pei Jing, went to the north of the city to visit a few Yi Pavilions, compared the good and bad, and purchased all kinds of five elements essence to build a feng shui pool.

Yu Shu returned to the Wangji Building in the afternoon, and Xue Rui was already there.

She called the guy in the backyard to move the things she bought from the carriage upstairs, and then walked to the door of Xue Rui's hidden room, and when she opened the door, she saw him holding dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and a few plates of hot dishes were placed on the round table, and there was still smoke, and he didn't move a few sips.

"It's this hour, you haven't eaten yet?"

Xue Rui raised his hand and motioned for her to sit down, and told her in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Don't mention it, in the morning, I entered the palace with King Ning to face the saint and confessed Ji Xingxuan's affairs, which angered Long Yan, and King Ning knelt in the imperial study for an hour in order to keep the child in Ji Xingxuan's belly. ”

Yu Shu looked at Xue Rui sympathetically and asked, "Then what about later, what will the Holy Lord do with Ji Xingxuan?" ”

Standing in Yu Shu's position, of course, she didn't want to let go of Ji Xingxuan, but now that the situation involves the royal family, where can she influence it.

"After the saint's anger is gone, he issued a secret order to let me quietly release Ji Xingxuan from the prison tonight and hand him over to King Ning's care."

Although Yu Shu had expected it, when he heard the emperor's order to bend the law for personal gain, he couldn't help but pout, and said: "Then this case is still not tried, many people are staring at it, at least the Cao family and the Xin family will not let Ji Xingxuan go, now that she is gone, how do you explain it to the outside world?" ”

After speaking, she saw a sneer on the corner of Xue Rui's mouth, put down the dishes and chopsticks, leaned over to her, and whispered:

"After tonight, there will be no Ji Xingxuan in this world."

Yu Shu opened his mouth in surprise and didn't close it for a long time.

Xue Rui poured two glasses of wine, handed one to her, and brought one to his lips, and slowly drank two sips before he said in a low voice:

"The Holy Lord has always been partial to the Seven Princes, and if such a scandal happens, he will definitely cover it up, not only to leave the fetus in Ji Xingxuan's womb, but also to make no extraneous branches, there is only one way - that is, to fabricate the illusion that Ji Xingxuan committed suicide in fear of crime, and when the person dies, no one will be held accountable."

Yu Shu was dumbfounded for a while, picked up the glass of wine that Xue Rui poured for her, raised her head and drank it dry, her throat was spicy, and she felt that everything she heard and thought at this moment was real.

"This is really not as good as heaven, I thought that Ji Xingxuan was going to escape again, who thought that the life-saving straw she grabbed would sentence her to death early."

Yu Shu saw the attitude of King Ning in Xuanchun Garden that day, what he wanted to protect now was Ji Xingxuan's flesh and bones, and after Ji Xingxuan gave birth to a child, what was waiting for her was undoubtedly an ending of leaving a son and going to his mother.

Yu Shu didn't want to deny that she did regard Ji Xingxuan as a thorn in her side, and she was quick to get rid of it, but when she knew the miserable end she was about to face, she didn't have much happiness in her heart, but she sighed in vain-

This woman, who has been against her since she came into this world, seems to be destined to become a mortal enemy with her, and there are endless disputes. Recalling that her "predecessor" was killed in vain because of Ji Xingxuan, and now Ji Xingxuan is also because of her, and finally embarked on a dead end, this is not the "cycle of heavenly principles, retribution is unpleasant" as Yi Dao said.

Xue Rui saw the complicated color on Yu Shuqing's beautiful face, sighed lightly, and said: "Self-inflicted, you can't live, Ji Xingxuan is to blame, you don't need to feel sorry for her." ”

Yu Shu blinked, came back to his senses, and couldn't confess his thoughts, so he could only hand the empty cup to him, begged for another glass of wine, and said with a slight smile:

"You've known me for so long, am I the kind of person who cries and pretends to be merciful, she ended up like this, it's good for me, it's a pity that you didn't have the opportunity to get to the bottom of this case."

Yu Shu, like Xue Rui, did not believe that Ji Xingxuan was the mastermind of the two murders in Taishi Shuyuan, and vaguely realized that the main messenger behind the scenes was carefully planning something.

Helplessly, the clue was cut off on Ji Xingxuan, and it could no longer be traced.

Xue Rui filled her wine glass, and the light under his eyebrows flashed, but he smiled silently, and raised his hand to clink glasses with her-

"Jingle Bell."

Yu Shu and Xue Rui's alcohol consumption is not bad, the two drank half a pot of wine, they were still sober, and after the meal was removed, they moved to the study to make tea.

Xue Rui asked her about the Holy Ancestor Sacrifice Day, and Yu Shu told him about the farce in Rongsheng Hall in the morning, intentionally or unintentionally, skipping the part where Jingchen helped her speak, and focused on the part where Mrs. Lu was arguing with Academician Gao, and she couldn't help laughing as she spoke.

"The eldest brother didn't see the faces of those people, Mrs. Lu made people's mouths crooked with a word, but no one dared to quarrel with her, and only said irresponsible things when they left, hehehe."

Xue Rui looked at her indifferent look, and said helplessly: "I told you a long time ago, why don't you serve snacks." Those half of the people don't agree with you, not necessarily Han Wenguang's instructions, if you send a few gifts in advance, you won't be defeated. ”

Yu Shu smiled undiminishedly, clasped his arms and said: "This ancestor worship, if you can spend money to buy it, don't go." Even my fourth-class female operator can ask them to pull them down, donate a thaumaturgy and you can be selected, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a problem, they like to cover their ears and steal the bell is their business, I cooperate with them to do nothing. ”

Xue Rui also knew that the Taishi Shuyuan had become more and more muddy in the past few years, and if he thought about it carefully, it would be good to be as clean as Yu Shu.

"Well, you have the most fame this time, this kind of thing is just icing on the cake, and when that day comes, you will be driven with a weapon, but if there is a little mistake, it will be either a blessing or a curse, so let someone else do it."

Yu Shu was not interested in the matter of the ancestor worship ceremony, and when he heard Xue Rui mention one or two, he did not ask in detail, but leaned forward on the tea table, opened his round and bright eyes, and said sweetly:

"Big brother, I want to borrow you a place to set up a feng shui pool, do you think?"

Xue Rui rarely saw her behaving like this, and he was really a little unbearable, so he nodded in confusion before asking her again: "Where?" ”

Yu Shu stretched out his finger and pointed upstairs, "The patio on the third floor, I want to get a feng shui pool and raise some utensils with my own hands." ”

Xue Rui smiled: "You really know how to choose a place, in this forgetting building, there are two feng shui eyes, one is the small pond in the center of the backyard, and the other is the patio." ”

Yu Shu sighed: "Then will you lend it to me?" ”

It's just one place, she asked for it at the beginning, how could Xue Rui not give it, but looking at her eager eyes, she couldn't help but tease her:

"What's in it for you to be lent it?"

Hearing this, Yu Shu secretly rolled his eyes, thinking that he was here again, every time Xue Dagongzi wanted to take advantage of her, he would first ask for benefits, and then wait for her to take the bait, she was pretending to be stupid and let him succeed a few times, he really thought she was so easy to deceive.

"Do you want me to kiss you?"

"Ahem." Xue Rui didn't expect her to be so crisp, she was choked, although she was very excited about this proposal, but she didn't miss the cunning that flashed in her eyes, and she felt that if he nodded, he would definitely be unlucky later, so he pressed that little itch, and pretended to be serious:

"Look at what you think, how can I be a prodigal son, you can fiddle with the patio on the ceiling, don't tear down the floor."

Yu Shu looked at him with a smile, his eyes glanced over his thin and moderate lips, and secretly said in his heart: Even if he knows each other, he really dares to take the opportunity to ask her to kiss him again, and see if she doesn't bite him hard later, so that he can remember it for a long time.

After chatting about business, Yu Shu didn't stay for a moment, got up and said, "Okay, you can go to sleep while the sky is still bright, look at the black under your eyes." ”

Xue Rui pressed her forehead, she didn't say that it was okay, but when she said it, she felt weak, he hadn't slept for the past two days, and he was indeed tired.

"Then I'll rest first, you go and get busy with yours, if you need anything, tell Lin Fu and let them buy it."

Yu Shu let out a soft "um", looked at him twice, and pressed the urge to step forward to help him rub his head, before turning around. (To be continued.)
