Chapter 22: I almost saw through it

It's better to go back and talk to Di Jiushu about this matter first and see his opinion.

After paying attention, Ji Yunxiao left the palace and rushed towards the palace.

As soon as I returned to the palace, I felt that the whole atmosphere was wrong.

The subordinates all performed their duties in a hurry, and occasionally one or two bumped into each other, as if they hadn't seen it, and they didn't speak, and they didn't even greet each other with a look.

Ji Yunxiao was puzzled, and pulled a maid and asked, "Where is the prince?" ”

"Book...... The study ...... said, and the maid hurried away.

Ji Yun smiled and became even more puzzled when he saw this, and hurried to the study with his steps.

From afar, she could smell the unusual silence inside, and as she got closer, the air around her seemed to be frozen.

To her surprise, the door to the study was wide open.

Looking in from here, Di Jiushu was sitting coldly at the desk. The thin lips were pursed, and the purple eyes were solemn.

Tan Shuiban's deep gaze was staring downward, but his eyes were ethereal, as if he was seriously thinking about something!

The butler stood under his gaze and hung his head in silence.

There were two guards kneeling next to the butler, I don't know if it was because of fear, or because they had been kneeling for a long time, their whole body turned into a stone, and they didn't move at all!

Looking from behind, you can just see the drooping faces of the two guards touching the ground.

Ji Yunxiao recognized those two people at a glance, they were the two guards guarding the door in Emperor Jiushu's residence!

This posture is clear in front of him, Ji Yunxiao doesn't need to set up a formation, and he has calculated what is going on!

Her heart sank, and she didn't know how much Ji Yun laughed to the extent that she found out on the chassis, and whether she knew that she did it herself.

Cautiously walked in, knelt down and said, "Lord Wang! ”

As soon as Ji Yunxiao entered, he attracted the attention of everyone present, and all of his eyes fell on her lowered back.

The corners of Di Jiu's mouth twitched, and he hummed lightly.

With a wave of his big hand, the two people who had been kneeling for a long time were excited, as if they had been forgiven, and retreated numbly.

The wooden butler looked at it and took a step forward: "Lord Wang, the old slave also retired first." ”

"Go, take someone to investigate carefully, and if you have any clues, tell me immediately."

"Yes!"

When everyone walked out, Di Jiushu looked up and down Ji Yunxiao and looked away from her empty palm.

"You didn't get anything." This sentence, he used an affirmative tone.

"Damn it!" Di Jiushu is angry now, and she has to take every step to avoid running into the muzzle.

"Why?"

"That Ayuan palace maid had already recognized the other party, and the slave took advantage of the darkness when there was no one to search up and down the room where the envoy was resting, but still did not find the slightest shadow of the double phoenix cup. In the opinion of the minions...... I'm afraid that the other party is carrying his belongings with him. ”

"Carry?" Emperor Jiu Shu's eyebrows were furrowed, the coldness in his eyes receded a little, and he thought about it seriously. At first, he also had this guess, since the other party dared to take the items, he would not blatantly put them in the room, and he would definitely carry them with him.

Keeping people in the palace to explore is just a glimmer of hope.

Right now, this glimmer of hope was shattered, and Di Jiushu didn't have much loss on his expression.

said lightly: "Since it is carried with you, no matter how much you search, it is in vain." ”

"Then according to the meaning of the prince?" The second prince was aggressive today, and he didn't leave the slightest room for Emperor Jiushu, and it was probably a big problem to get the cup back within two days.

"You are resourceful, and this king wants to hear what you have to say."

"Slaves are terrified!" How did Ji Yunxiao know that he would ask himself in turn, could he not be afraid?

Di Jiushu lowered his eyes and pondered, and his tone was majestic and did not allow her to resist: "Get up, tell me what you have in mind." ”

"This ......" Ji Yunxiao was a little embarrassed, she had the idea, but she didn't think there was much need to help Di Jiushu.

What's more, if Rong Xun hadn't come forward last night, she wouldn't have even gone to Qiankun Palace this morning!

She wished that Emperor Jiu had a bad life, how could she be kind enough to help him!

"The minion is stupid, and he can't think of anything for a while." Anyway, the second prince said that you are the ninth prince is smart, and you have a brain to think for yourself!

Di Jiushu frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with the answer he got from her mouth.

But there is no rush at all.

"I haven't thought of a way for a while, it doesn't mean that I haven't been able to think of a good way, you are so loyal to this king, and you will definitely not disappoint this king, this king will give you time." As he spoke, a cyan rag suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.

Ji Yun smiled and was shocked! Subconsciously tightened the cuffs and hid the sleeves inside.

She's too careless!

"This color looks like the fabric on your body, do you know where you found it?" Di Jiushu shook the strip of rag, the corners of his eyes slanted, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a smile.

"Minions...... Ignorance. ”

"I don't know?" Di Jiushu snorted, "Of course you don't know, because this was found from the secret room of the palace, and if you haven't been to that place, you naturally won't know about this thing, and naturally you won't leave this thing." ”

Ji Yunxiao secretly pinched a cold sweat in his palms.

Leng Bu couldn't help but hear another sentence from above: "Yun Xiao, have you ever been to the secret room?" ”

"Minions...... Haven't been. ”

"Good! If you say no, there will be no one, and this king believes in you! To her surprise, Di Jiushu actually said that he believed her?

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the other party say: "This king believes you because this king values you and steals it, I hope you don't let this king down." ”

Ji Yun was stunned for a moment, and smiled coldly in his heart, he was threatening her?

If she comes up with a way, Di Jiushu will really believe her as he said, and no longer track her down.

But if she can't think of a way, a strip of rag, the answer that Di Jiushu wants will definitely be obtained by any means!

In fact, Ji Yunxiao knew that no matter whether she wanted to find a way or not, Emperor Jiushu would definitely pursue it later.

It's just that at this time, if he shows his heartfelt intentions to him, even if he traces it to his head afterwards, he can use his heartfelt behavior towards him to confuse him, but if he bites to death and watches from the wall, one point will eventually involve himself in the slightest, and Emperor Jiushu will definitely not show mercy!

After weighing the weight, Ji Yunxiao had no choice but to respond.

"Minions command!"

"Let's go down." Di Jiushu stared at her, and when she stepped out of the study, he woke up: "This king's patience is limited, you shouldn't let this king wait for a long time, right?" ”

Ji Yun opened the corners of his mouth with a sneer, and turned his back to him, "Minion province!" ”

Not long after walking out of the study, Ji Yunxiao's tense nerves relaxed.

A gust of wind blew, and her palms were cold.

When I looked down, I realized that my hands were sweating with nervousness just now!

Weakly walked back to her yard, the maid was guarding the yard, and when she saw her coming back, she was about to come up, but she stopped and drove her out.

I didn't bother to take off my shoes, Ji Yunxiao turned over and lay on the bed directly.

Thinking left and right, she had a way, but now she was a little tired.

Anyway, the current situation is not something she can control, she can only take one step at a time.

After relaxing, Ji Yunxiao fell asleep unconsciously.

And the study at this time......

Di Jiushu stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, looking at the peony garden outside the window with a pair of deep eyes.

The butler and a man in a black suit stood behind him.

It took a long time to hear the purple-clothed owner ask, "Xunri, what do you think?" ”

Xun Ri is the secret guard cultivated by Emperor Jiushu, and he is also the person he trusts the most.

"According to his subordinates, even if the secret room case is not his doing, it must be inseparable from him!"

"What does the butler think?"

The old slave felt that it was not ruled out that he was nervous for a while. Although he never liked the fact that the prince got close to the man after returning to the house that night, he also spoke from a fair standpoint.

"Nervous?" Emperor Jiushu stretched out his hand, his gaze fixed on the cyan rag strip. "Then he must be too nervous."

As soon as he held his hand, he wrapped the strip of cloth, and with a little force, the strip of rag turned into a pile of powder.

He just found a piece of similar clothing, which can make his attitude before and after show such a big contrast.

Sure enough, it's time to investigate him!

…………

The second day, at twilight.

A horse-drawn carriage flew through the empty street, and the target went straight to the palace.

Sitting in the carriage are today's protagonists, Di Jiushu and Ji Yunxiao!

The carriage was luxuriously decorated on the outside, and there was a large space inside, with a small table in the middle, on which were placed several small plates of snacks, and a jug of wine warmed on it, and the curtain of the carriage flickered, causing a burst of noise.

Emperor Jiushu half-squinted, and the old god was sitting on the ground. Ji Yunxiao sat on his left hand side, standing upright, looking at the street outside through the curtain rolled up on the opposite side.

It's just that it's night, and in addition to the usual bustling downtown area, the scenery along the way seems a little desolate.

"The envoy of the island country is leaving tonight, are you sure enough?" As soon as her purple eyes moved, Di Jiushu opened her eyes at some point and squinted at her side face.

Ji Yun smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, the minion will definitely be able to let him hold it with both hands willingly." ”

Originally, she wanted to delay talking to Emperor Jiushu for three or five days, but who knows, the palace sent news early this morning, saying that there was some urgent matter on the island country to summon the envoys back, and those people were going to leave tonight!

This is not a good thing for Emperor Jiushu!

The thing hasn't been found yet, but the person is leaving, and the queen is not in a hurry to die!

Fortunately, Ji Yunxiao still has some schemes, no, as soon as it gets dark, he hurriedly enters the palace!

"Lord Wang, it's here!" Shunri reined in his horse, looked at the tall lacquered red palace gate in front of him, turned sideways and said to the people inside.

"Hmm." Di Jiushu hummed softly and walked out of the carriage, Ji Yunxiao followed closely behind him.

All the way to the Qiankun Palace, the emperor and the crown prince and many princes had already arrived there first, and the two of them attracted attention as soon as they entered.

"Slaves, meet the emperor, queen, and princes!"

"The minister has seen the emperor, the queen, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"No courtesy."
