Chapter 44: Entrusting the Task
The sky was gradually sinking, and the light rain on the tide was falling more and more violently, like a pour, and the rolling thunder that followed made Ji Yunxiao extremely depressed in his heart.
She walked aimlessly along the long corridor, and before she knew it, she had come to the place where Di Jiushu lived.
Two guards at the gate of the courtyard were holding umbrellas, and when they saw her approaching, one of them kindly handed over the umbrella in his hand.
"Night boy, why don't you go out with an umbrella, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it's not good to hurt your body when you get drenched in the rain." They are all guards in the Nine Kings' Mansion, taking turns to be on errands, and they have all seen Ji Yunxiao in the front yard on weekdays, so they naturally know her.
In addition, the excellent trick of this prince in the palace last time also made them amazed and yearned.
This time, the prince was trapped in the prison, and he was also taken care of by the night boy.
He is good to his own prince, so their attitude towards Ji Yunxiao is naturally not much worse.
Ji Yunxiao was just walking distractedly at first, and he didn't notice it.
It wasn't until the guard came up to her that she suddenly realized.
It turned out that before she knew it, she had gone out into the rain.
The chill came from her wet clothes, and her body trembled slightly.
Smiled at the guard's gratefulness, "Thank you." ”
"But, Night Boy, it's so late, what are you doing here?"
"I'm ......" Ji Yun smiled and took a breath, her nose was cold and her body was cold, and her face was a little unnaturally pale, "I came to find the prince, is the prince back?" ”
"It's not the right time for the prince to come that night, the prince just came back and changed his clothes and went to the study."
Emperor Jiushu has returned?
Ji Yunxiao was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Did the prince come back alone?" ”
"The prince came back alone." The guard frowned, staring at her curiously.
What the night boy said, will anyone else come back with the prince?
"Really?" Ji Yunxiao thought that Di Jiushu would take Rong Xun back to the house together, but he didn't expect Di Jiushu to come back alone first.
Didn't you catch up with Rong Xun?
No, Emperor Jiushu is extraordinary, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't be.
Ji Yunxiao thought about it to no avail, but decided to go to the study to see the situation in person.
Otherwise, she won't be able to settle down in this heart!
"Next time I have a chance to talk to the eldest brother of the guard, the younger brother still has some things, so let's go first!" Ji Yunxiao handed the umbrella back to the guard, and hurriedly turned to leave.
All the way to the study.
Ji Yunxiao knocked on the door twice.
"Who?"
"Lord Wang, it's a minion."
Ji Yunxiao waited for a while, and only then did a reply come out lightly: "Come in!" ”
This sentence sounded weak, and it didn't seem to come from the mouth of Emperor Jiushu at all.
Ji Yunxiao curiously pushed open the door and walked in.
When I looked up, I saw the desk facing the door.
Di Jiushu sat on it, his subordinates flustered, as if they were packing up something.
Ji Yunxiao took a few steps closer, and Emperor Jiushu was just done, and his face was a little embarrassed.
Ji Yun smiled and wondered, shouldn't he be hiding some good treasures?
Just when she stretched her neck and wanted to take a closer look, Di Jiushu had already tidied up and was sitting at the desk.
Looking at her from above: "What are you here for?" ”
"Oh, the slave just saw that Miss Rong Xun was not doing well, so I wanted to ask." Ji Yunxiao remembered the purpose of her coming to the study, "Lord Wang, Miss Rong Xun...... You okay? ”
"You seem to care about her?" Di Jiushu didn't know why, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Ji Yunxiao knew that he was thinking too much, and hurriedly explained: "The slave can see Miss Rong Xun's innocence, and he doesn't dare to think about it at all. However, the previous incident, although it was so-called by the second prince, no matter what you say, it has a lot to do with the minions, so, in general, the minions are ashamed of Miss Rong Xun, so they are very worried about the safety of Miss Rong Xun's life. ”
Di Jiushu heard this, and snorted coldly from his nose, "She's fine, this king has sent her back to the Military Department Shangshu Mansion, where the Military Department Shangshu and a doctor are waiting, it's very good!" ”
This tone sounds a little weird.
I don't know if Di Jiushu misunderstood himself, or because of what happened this afternoon.
However, she had a good time with Jun Danfeng at the time, and she didn't know why Di Jiushu's face turned black as soon as she came.
It doesn't matter if her face is not good, she has no etiquette at all, and almost dragged her by the arm and dragged her into the carriage.
As soon as he thought of the scene this afternoon, Ji Yunxiao was a little angry.
However, he is a high-ranking prince, and she can't do anything with him!
"What are you thinking?" Di Jiushu looked at her for a long time, held his hands, and dragged his delicate chin to look at her.
The purple eyes narrowed into an arc slightly, revealing a few indescribable rays of light from them, as if looking, and as if thinking far away!
Ji Yun smiled and slowly came back to his senses, and pursed his lips unnaturally, "The slave is just thinking, is Miss Rong Xun sick?" Is it very sick? ”
A doctor......
It seems that the situation is not very good.
However, looking at Di Jiushu's reaction and the expression on his face when he said that just now, Rong Xun was sick, and he didn't seem to be very concerned about it.
This made Ji Yunxiao puzzled.
"It's nothing serious, she's just been in the rain for too long, it's raining, and she has some typhoid fever." Di Jiushu casually opened a book, and turned to her and called out to her, "Come here." ”
Ji Yunxiao walked over while puzzled, and looked in the direction of his finger.
The book was densely covered with words, and it looked a bit like a ledger that recorded expenses.
However, from some of the events noted above, it does not look like an ordinary living expense.
It's a bit like military supplies!
"Lord Wang, what are you ......" Ji Yunxiao's pupils shrank, and his gaze shifted from the ledger to Di Jiushu.
This is indeed a record of the material expenses of this military division! Such a confidential thing, Di Jiushu put it out so generously, and kindly asked her to come over and take a look, what does this mean? !
"This is the army stationed between Yeyang Country and Cangyun Country, and the spending situation in recent years." Emperor Jiushu handed the account book to her, "There was an account last month, and the palace allocated 70,000 pieces of silver to buy the armor and combat readiness of the soldiers, but the weapons sent to the border were 10,000 pieces less than expected, and the king looked at it for a long time, and he didn't see the loss of the account."
You're very intelligent, take a good look at where the error went in that account. ”
Ji Yunxiao held the account book in her hand, as if she was holding a thousand gold pendants, which made each of her fingers tremble slightly.
The cost of frontier materials is such an account book, a precision military machine, but he handed it to her defenselessly.
Ji Yunxiao didn't know if Di Jiushu really trusted her, and wanted to simply use her intelligence to find out the lost material, or if it was another layer of temptation.
However, she knew that she would never be able to take this thing!
Once she took over this important task, she was really involved in the war between Emperor Jiushu and Cangyun Kingdom.
In this case, Di Jiushu would only restrain her more strictly.
When the time comes, if she wants to leave, I'm afraid, it won't be so simple!
So, she definitely can't pick it up!
Di Jiushu saw her "rubbing", knelt down heavily, the corners of his eyes narrowed, his expression was faint, and the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, revealing the anger of his master.
He didn't speak, but sat quietly in his chair, condescendingly probing Ji Yunxiao, who was kneeling on the ground.
Ji Yun swallowed his saliva with a smile, "Lord Wang, please forgive the slave for not accepting the important task of the prince!" ”
"Why?" Di Jiushu's fingers tapped on the edge of the table, and the chaotic sound indicated that the master was not in a good mood.
"Slave ......" Ji Yun smiled and clenched his hand tightly, "Slave can't!" ”
"Reason."
"Slave ......" Ji Yunxiao was stunned for a while, she couldn't think of a proper reason to refuse Emperor Jiushu?!" Minion ......"
Di Jiushu saw that she only repeated those two words for a long time, and couldn't say a complete sentence.
He pretended to turn his head and closed his eyes, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was deliberately talking to Ji Yun to laugh.
"Yeyunxiao, you've been in the palace for a month, right?"
"Yes." Ji Yunxiao couldn't understand why he suddenly said this.
"This king asks you, when the man in black attacked, did you really save this king?"
At that time, she couldn't hope that Di Jiushu would die early, but at that time, if Di Jiushu hadn't been a secret weapon for her, she might have been injured. Although she hates Di Jiushu, she is a person with clear grievances, and she owes him his life, so she gave him back his life and saved him!
"Yes!"
At that time, she was indeed out of sincerity to save people.
"This king asks you again, did you come into the palace to come forward for this king and fight the envoy of the island country with your own intention?"
At that time, she hesitated, if she didn't happen to hear the conversation between the two palace maids in the palace, she couldn't have known the truth of the matter.
It should be said that if she hadn't met Rong Xun, she wouldn't have been lying in that troubled water anyway!
However, she was impressed by Rong Xun's deep affection for Emperor Jiushu, she admired such a strange woman, and volunteered to help her.
"Yes!" However, more, she just looked at Rong Xun's face.
"This king finally asks you, in the prison, are you sincere in analyzing the truth for this king and helping this king clear his grievances?"
Ji Yun smiled and listened, and frowned slightly from his eyebrows.
When she was in the prison, she was also trapped in it, but if you want to save her out, you must first clear her of the suspicion of insulting Rong Xun.
However, in Yeyang Kingdom, the only person she has the most contact with is Di Jiushu.
Now he is also locked up in this prison, so she can only seize every opportunity to save herself!
When she heard Di Jiushu tell the details of that night, she was indeed helping Di Jiushu, but more importantly, she was helping herself!
Later, however, she was tortured.
Emperor Jiushu drugged her, and after the palace changed, he took her in a coma to Jun Danfeng for help.
