Chapter 17: The Assassin in the Boudoir
"Since Ji Gongzi is safe, the official is relieved. Master Hou, the lower official suddenly remembered that there was still something in the yamen, can you allow the lower official to retire first? ”
Xie Jingliang admired Ji Wan's expression when he was entangled by Su Ningxin with interest, and the corners of his mouth were hooked. But after all, she still felt that Su Ningxin was a little unsightly holding Ji Wan's hand, so she waved her hand, "Go ahead." ”
Master Su forcibly pulled Su Ningxin away, and Su Ningxin shouted vigorously, "Wanlang, what kind of fragrance are you smoking, Wanlang, your room is so delicate and tasteful, Wanlang ......"
The voice gradually drifted away, and Ji Wanyi held her forehead.
"Brother Ji is recuperating from his injuries, Ben Hou will come to see you next time." Xie Jingliang consciously peeked into his nature, and it was not interesting to stay any longer.
After that, Xie Jingliang glanced at her deeply, and there was an emotion in his eyes that Ji Wanyi couldn't read, as if he understood and seemed to sympathize.
Looking at his back, Ji Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief, next time? Don't come here again.
"Explain to me, what are these objects?" Ji Zhaozhang looked at her room with an ugly face, pointing to the eyebrows, lipstick, and pearl powder covered by the nightdress behind the screen.
"Those are the maids, they accidentally put them in the wrong place, hehe." Ji Wanyi smiled flatteringly.
"A man should be refreshed and refreshed, and put some balms in the house. And the furnishings in your house, it's really ...... Unmasculine. Ji Zhaozhang brushed his sleeves away and ordered her to rectify her life.
Ji Wanyi responded speechlessly, silently thinking in her heart that her eldest brother was like a father, and she didn't care about him. But it's hard to calm down, this Ji Zhaozhang is really in charge of the world. That's it, just let the maids inquire about what kind of incense Ji Zhaozhang smoked, what objects to put on, and just concoct it in the same way.
Alas, I was embarrassed enough today, and Xie Jingliang's meaningful eyes when he left made people tremble.
As soon as Ji Wanyi was covered with the quilt, she slept in the dark.
When she woke up, it was already dark, and Ji Wanyi found that her room had changed. The carved screen at the entrance has become a cabinet of books, and only pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and tea cups are placed on the table, which is clean and refreshing, and there is a smell of ink wafting in the room.
Could it be that Ji Zhaozhang's room is so simple and boring, Ji Wanyi is very unaccustomed to it, or she should order the girl to change back to the way it was.
"It's like a man's room." Ji Zhaozhang just entered the door at this time, glanced at the furnishings in the room, and nodded with satisfaction, "I just came back from the yamen, and I will be busy recently." The previous Hu Ji case involved a force in the north to invade the northwest, and these bandits were extremely vicious, colluding with Hu merchants to rob the property of merchants on the way, and never left a living mouth. Recently, it seems that I have arrived in the western suburbs of the county, hello to recuperate, don't go out. ”
Ji Wanyi felt the danger of the world and hurriedly responded.
For several days in a row, Ji Wanyi hid at home and read the book, but she was fine, but from the mouth of the middle and lower parts of the house, she kept hearing the news of Xie Jingliang, and it was rumored that Xie Xiaohou Ye ordered the whole city to be strictly banned, and three officers and soldiers were set up to check the hands in and out of the city, and there was a curfew at night, and the officers and soldiers patrolled and arrested many bandits.
Ji Wanyi then remembered that Xie Xiaohou still had the title of General Xuanwei, and he had some means of law and order.
After dinner and washing, she lay on the bed with the book in her hand and read it.
It was late at night, the girls were already asleep, Ji Wanyi forgot the time, and was about to get up to turn off the lights, but out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow dressed in night clothes, sneaking into her room, and standing on the beam of the room in the dark.
