Chapter 14: The Slightest Thought
Emperor Jiushu groaned, silently put her words in his ears, holding the red maple order, puzzled.
Suddenly, she couldn't help but smile, as if talking to herself, and as if to say to her: "Looking at the entire Yeyang Country, who do you think it will be if you have the financial resources to invite these killers and secretly arrange them to enter the country?" ”
Ji Yunxiao thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes were terrified, "Could it be ...... Is it the crown prince?! ”
Emperor Jiushu's eyes were cold, like sword light flickering. With the force of his palm, the red maple order suddenly turned into a pile of powder in his hand.
"No matter who it is, this king wants him to know what will happen if he angers this king!" Crazy and bloodthirsty, making people shudder.
Ji Yun smiled and was stunned in place, and after coming back to his senses, he rushed over and blocked Emperor Jiushu's steps, "Lord Wang, this matter still needs to be investigated carefully, although the prince is jealous of the prince everywhere, he may not have the courage to do such a thing!" "Hiring assassins is just a brotherhood, but letting the islanders in without permission is a great sin that angers the Holy Order, no matter how stupid the prince is, he can't risk his future future, right?
"Don't worry, this king won't blame a good person." He waved the sleeve of his robe and raised a bloody smile, "In the same way, this king will not let anyone who offends this king go!" This king has said, whoever he is! ”
Emperor Jiushu called casually, and suddenly a guard jumped out and knelt in front of him, "Lord Wang!" ”
"Go check the whereabouts of Prince Ziyue, see if there are any fresh faces entering and leaving the East Palace, and if there is a situation, immediately report to this king!"
"Yes!" The guards were ordered to go.
Emperor Jiushu raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Yunxiao, and the hand in his sleeve clenched for a moment, "Your courage and talent, when you enter the palace as a minister, you will definitely have a great achievement, how can you be willing to give in to this king and be a small guest?" ”
"Thanks to the prince's love, since the slave has been given to the prince by the prime minister, the life of the slave can only be the prince's in this life."
Di Jiushu picked his fingers, pinched her chin, and met his gaze: "This king must listen to the truth." ”
Ji Yunxiao's figure is already taller among women of the same age, but every time she stands next to this man, she always involuntarily shows a weak look like a bird, and this feeling of being pinched by his chin and accepting his downward gaze makes her feel very uncomfortable.
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Di Jiushu was stunned for a moment, and after returning to his senses in a daze, he increased the strength of his fingers, "Don't want to say? ”
Ji Yun pursed his lips with a smile: "......"
"It's okay, sometimes it seems false if you talk too much, so it's better to prove it to this king with actions." Di Jiushu let go of his hand, bypassed her, and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Ji Yun smiled and lowered his hand, turning his back to him, "How does the prince want to prove it?" ”
"As long as you have been loyal to this king, why don't you know how to prove it?" With a chuckle, Di Jiushu really left.
Ji Yunxiao was alone, sitting on the stone table in the courtyard casually, the cold wind was blowing on her face, she rubbed her dizzy head, supported her head with one hand, and didn't know what she was thinking.
Ji Yunxiao slept on the stone table outside the hospital all night, and when she woke up the next day, her brain was still a little dizzy.
"Night Boy, the prince ordered the slave maid to bring breakfast." A well-behaved maid walked in from outside, holding some cooked food in her hand.
"Yes...... What the prince ordered? Ji Yunxiao was a little flattered, after all, in the past, he was like a thief in this courtyard, he was guarded by Emperor Jiushu everywhere, and the guards were too late, so they would be so kind to send him something to eat?
Could it be that you secretly added some ingredients to it, right?
"The words of the prince were ordered by the prince himself." The little maid with a cute smile, speaking of which, she has been on an errand in this Nine Princes' Mansion since she was a child, and the prince looks cold and cold on weekdays, and this is the first time she has personally ordered the kitchen to cook meals for people.
The more Ji Yunxiao listened, the more mysterious he felt, and he pointed casually, "Put it here, you go down first." ”
The maid obediently put the food on the stone table and retreated.
Ji Yunxiao looked at the back of the maid, and then saw clearly that the two people guarding on both sides of the door did not have half a figure today.
It's so weird!
She took out a silver needle from her bosom and tested it in every piece of food, looking at the silver needle that had not changed at all, the more surprised she felt in her heart!
"It shouldn't be......"
"What shouldn't you?" A majestic voice sounded from the door, Ji Yunxiao turned around in fright, and saw Emperor Jiushu who walked in quickly at the door, his heart was shocked, and he immediately saluted: "The slave has seen the prince!" ”
"Get up." Di Jiushu nodded, his gaze wandering on her. Damn! Standing on the silver needle in her hand that she hadn't had time to put away.
Thinking of the sentence he heard at the gate of the courtyard just now, Di Jiushu's entire face involuntarily darkened by more than half.
"Are you suspicious of this king?"
Ji Yunxiao was numb behind his back, and shook his head again and again: "The prince misunderstood, the slave just hasn't practiced for a long time, so he wants to move his hand bones." ”
"Movable hand bones?" Di Jiushu's gaze moved up a few times, and his tone was suspiciously tentative, "Are you using a silver needle?" ”
"Minions...... Sometimes silver needles are used. "It's hard to tell a lie, but at the moment, you can't admit your kindness to Emperor Jiushu for sending someone to deliver pastries, right? Ji Yun smiled and nodded with difficulty.
"Really?" Emperor Jiushu turned around and sat on the edge of the stone table, banged on the edge with one hand, and curled the corners of his mouth with a half-smile: "It's better to let this king see and understand!" ”
With that, he picked up a small piece of pastry with his bare hands and flicked it back.
Ji Yun didn't slack off when he smiled, the moment he popped up, he tightened the silver needle and shot quickly!
After hearing only a subtle embedding sound, the silver needle actually pierced through the pastry thrown by Emperor Jiushu, and nailed it into the trunk of the turquoise willow tree in the courtyard along with the pastry.
The corners of Di Jiushu's mouth curled up with a smile that seemed to be a smile, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"The slave is ugly." What Ji Yunxiao is good at is not a secret weapon. However, because of regular self-training, if you show your hand, it will not be too disappointing.
"Your internal strength is accurate, but ...... There is a little more place to return between shots, and it is precisely these concerns about looping. If you encounter a powerful master, I am afraid it will become a fatal wound for you. Di Jiushu said, his eyes lit up, and he picked up a broad bean from the plate and pointed out.
The offensive is swift! I only listened to the sound of "rubbing", and I actually knocked down the pastry on the waist of the willow tree and the silver needle embedded in it!
It didn't take a lot of effort to knock down the pastry, and it took her seventy percent of the strength to knock down the silver needle embedded in the tree?!
While Ji Yunxiao was shocked, he couldn't help but admire in his heart.
Di Jiushu's martial arts are probably much higher than she imagined!
Emperor Jiu stood up suddenly, walked to the willow tree, looked at the subtle needle marks, and said without replying: "The so-called hidden weapon, in addition to arm and wrist strength, also requires a certain amount of internal strength, and the most important thing is the ruthlessness of a heart that vows to put the other party to death." ”
Ji Yun trembled when he heard this, looking at his upright back.
His long hair was like ink, his white clothes were fluttering, and the sunlight shone on him through the shadows of the trees, forming a sense of light and extinguishment that was half bright and half gray, making it difficult to guess what was going on under those purple eyes.
"What's wrong?" Just when Ji Yun was smiling and looking distracted, he didn't expect him to suddenly turn around.
She shook her head, "The prince may have heard of the four princes in the world?" He picked up a broad bean from the plate, looked at the bean, and said, "The slave is just thinking, among them there is a boy who is the best at concealing weapons, and the most familiar thing he knows is the silver needle." ”
Emperor Jiu Shufeng's eyes narrowed, his eyes were sparkling and cold, and he pursed his lips and stared at her, "What do you want to say?" ”
"The slave just wants to say that if the Night Yama King, one of the four sons of the world, sees the methods of the prince, I am afraid he will also be amazed and admired."
Di Jiushu smiled lightly, opened an empty teacup, and stretched out a cup of tea, "When did you learn to be afraid of sycophants?" ”
"Slave ......" Ji Yun smiled and was about to explain, but he didn't expect the housekeeper to hurriedly walk in from the outside at this time.
"Lord Wang!" The housekeeper's face was anxious, as if he had something very important to report, he glanced at Ji Yun next to him and smiled, and stopped talking.
Ji Yunxiao is also an acquaintance, and was about to ask himself to retire, but who knew that Emperor Jiushu took a sip of tea and said first, "What's the matter?" It seems that he acquiesced to Ji Yunxiao's listening.
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and said carefully: "What the prince ordered last night has been ...... Some eyebrows. ”
"Go on." Di Jiushu rubbed his fingers against the rim of the cup, and said unhurriedly.
"As the prince expected, the Dongdao people who appeared in Yeyang Country in recent months do have a great relationship with the East Palace, and after investigation, the killer who attacked the prince that night was hired by the prince himself!"
Di Jiushu's fingers pinching the teacup secretly tightened a little, "Is there any evidence?" ”
The butler took out a few letters sealed with wax oil from his bosom, "This is the correspondence between the prince and the other party, including the fact that the killer was hired to assassinate the prince that night!" ”
It won't be the first prince of Yeyang Kingdom, the efficiency of his subordinates is so high, Rao is Ji Yunxiao doesn't dare to guarantee that his Nightingale Pavilion will find out so much information in one night!
Now that Emperor Jiushu has so many princes, I am afraid that he will have to be alone.
"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince!"
"Congratulations to the king?" Di Jiushu raised his eyes coldly, glanced at Ji Yun and smiled, at this time, his expression was faint, as if he didn't have the slightest sense of pleasure in joy!
Ji Yun smiled sullenly and wondered, "The prince has so much information now, if he can present these things to the emperor, the prince will inevitably be guilty, which is really a great joy for the prince!" ”
"Big joy? Heh......" Di Jiushu smiled faintly, raised his head and drank the last cup of tea, and did not continue to dwell on this matter, but asked the housekeeper, "Apart from this, what else is there in the palace?" ”
"The ...... in the palace" said the housekeeper and subconsciously glanced at Ji Yun and smiled, "The matter of the theft of Fengjiang grass has spread, but because the pilgrimage festival is imminent, it has not been publicized, and the emperor just handed over the matter to Dongwei for a secret investigation in order to appease Xu Guifei." ”
