Chapter 21: Failed Search
Ji Yun looked up in the direction of the speaker with a smile, and saw that the person was dressed in a black robe, with high hair on his forehead, and he was talking leisurely with a cup of tea in his hand, with an outsider attitude that it was none of his business.
These words seemed to help Emperor Jiushu, but secretly pushed the whole mess onto Emperor Jiushu.
Even the emperor and queen didn't dare to move those envoys of the island country easily, he was afraid that Emperor Jiushu didn't have so much right to directly ask the other party to hand over the things! Deliberately gave him a debut problem, right?
Ji Yunxiao secretly speculated, and when he turned around, Di Jiushu's face was gloomy, and he was not in a hurry to prevaricate, his dark purple eyes smiled to himself, and he stared at the emperor and queen who was seated for a while.
Only then did his gaze drift back to the second prince, his eyes were as clear as a deep lake, making it impossible to see the thoughts in his eyes.
After looking at the second king, he slowly spoke, "Second Wangye Allah, this king admires!" ”
Ji Yun smiled and glared, this tone, tsk, it seems that the relationship between the second prince and Emperor Jiushu is not very good.
The second prince took a sip of tea, "Then Brother Wang is here to help the Nine Emperor Brothers find the thief as soon as possible, and recover the Shuangfeng Chaohuang Cup for the queen mother!" ”
"Huh." Emperor Jiushu sneered and got up, "This king still wants to track down the thief, so take his leave first!" ”
After that, regardless of the attitude and reaction of the emperor and queen, he turned around and wanted to leave.
When passing by Ji Yunxiao's side, he glanced at her, and after Ji Yunxiao knew it, he hurriedly said "The slave retires" and left the Qiankun Hall with Ji Yunxiao.
Ji Yun kept turning back frequently after laughing, for fear that the emperor and queen would be unhappy to resign in such a hurry just now and send someone to chase after him.
Thinking about her, she was a little curious, but she didn't expect that Emperor Jiushu was usually light-hearted, and he was so independent in front of the emperor and queen, I really don't know whether to say that he is casual or bold!
"Don't worry, if you want to chase it, you will send someone to chase it out."
The person in front of him suddenly made a sound, almost startling Ji Yun with a big laugh.
After settling down, she shook her head and said, "The slave is just a little worried about Miss Rong Xun." If it weren't for Miss Rong Xun telling the story of the war department, I'm afraid you wouldn't have gotten out so quickly, in this matter, Miss Rong Xun has done a lot for the prince and made a lot of efforts. ”
After that, I saw Emperor Jiushu's back.
After a while, I heard his faint voice float up vaguely, "This king does owe her." ”
"Miss Rong Xun's mind is self-aware. Actually, Miss is also happy to be able to help the prince in every penny. Thinking of her decisiveness last night, Ji Yunxiao couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.
"No matter what Rong Xun does to me, that's also the king's business. Do not think that if you testify today and help this king, you can meddle in this king's private affairs. In this world, there is nothing that can trap this king, a small Qiankun Palace, this king still disdains to put it in his eyes! His eyes suddenly turned cold, and his fingers pinched Ji Yunxiao's neck, slightly hard.
She was a little out of breath when she pinched.
"Slave, slave...... Know, know. ”
Only then did Di Jiushu let go of his hand, and took out a handkerchief and wiped it in disgust.
"It's not difficult to get back the Shuangfeng Chaohuang Cup within two days, you stay in the palace and secretly investigate the palace maid named Ah Yuan, let her identify which messenger it is, and when you have the opportunity, you can do it."
Ji Yun smiled at the neck with a red mark, and ordered: "The slave will do it!" ”
Not long after Ji Yunxiao left, the housekeeper rushed over, "Lord Wang, the carriage is ready, you can go back to the house." ”
"Hmm." With a faint sound, Ji Yunxiao strode towards the palace gate.
The housekeeper took the reins of the horse and was about to drive the horse, when Emperor Jiushu suddenly opened the curtain behind him and "made his own opinion...... Do you remember the rules of the palace? ”
The housekeeper straightened his back, and nodded after coming back to his senses, "The old slave will go to receive the punishment when he returns home." ”
"Let's go back." As soon as the fingers were released, the curtain fell, covering all the expressions of the people behind them.
"Drive!"
…………
Ji Yunxiao didn't know the way in the palace, so he had to wait for someone at the place where he met the two palace maids last night.
An hour later, I saw the two limping and supporting each other passing by here, and it seemed that they should have just received the punishment.
"The prince has something to ask you." Ji Yunxiao walked in front of the palace maid of Ayuan, just blocking the way of the two of them.
The two of them were shocked at first, and only after seeing Ji Yunxiao's face clearly did they recall that this person was the slave who had just attended to testify to the Nine Princes.
"Sister Ruyi?" After all, Ah Yuan's little palace maid is still only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old little girl, and she will inevitably be a little scared when she encounters a big event, and she asks for help and pulls Ruyi's hand.
Ruyi patted Ah Yuan's hand comfortingly, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Although the Nine Princes are cold, they are very steady in their work, and there should be no accidents.
Ah Yuan was afraid in her heart, and she didn't dare to disobey the orders of the Nine Princes, so she could only grit her teeth: "The slave and maid know, what did the Ninth Prince tell the slave and maid to do?" ”
Ji Yunxiao led Ah Yuan out of a distance, and then said as he walked: "Do you remember where you saw the messenger at the gate of the courtyard the night before?" ”
"The slave maid was seen in the Changyan Palace, which is a special place for the envoys to rest."
"If you were asked to recognize people now, would you still recognize them?"
Ah Yuan's palace maid was shocked when she heard this, and knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowing again and again, with tears in her voice, "There is an old mother to support the slave and maid, and there is a younger brother who has just entered the hall below, my lord, please plead for the slave and maid in front of the prince, please let the slave and maid go, please my lord, my lord, I will kowtow to you, please ...... my lord."
Asking her to recognize people is tantamount to condemning her to death.
If the emperor and queen mother knew about it, they would definitely not bypass her so easily!
Ji Yunxiao frowned, looking at the people on the ground who were kowtowing again and again, his brows furrowed even deeper.
"I only said that I secretly let you recognize people, and I didn't let you confront you face to face, what are you afraid of?"
"Secretly?" Ah Yuan's palace maid knocked on the ground and slowly reacted.
"You have served those messengers in close quarters, and you should know their schedules. I ask you, where are they going now? ”
Ah Yuan wiped away her tears and slowly stood up, "At this time, it should be taking a lunch break." ”
Siesta? In other words, they are all in Changyan Palace!
Ji Yun smiled and smiled, "Go to Changyan Palace!" ”
The palace maid led all the way down to the Changyan Palace.
Ji Yunxiao found a hidden place to inquire about the situation inside.
At this time, it was sunset, and there was some heat in the courtyard. Looking through the beaded curtain of the window, I was really resting on the couch!
Only then did she turn back to the palace maid of Ah Yuan and say, "Now you pretend to be the palace maid who adds tea and water, go to each room once, and if you recognize the person that night, walk three steps at the door with your feet raised." ”
"Huh?" Didn't you say that you secretly recognized people? Ah Yuan's palace maid had a bitter face.
Ji Yun smiled and didn't wait for her to react, jumped on tiptoe, swept onto the dense tree in the courtyard, and hid his figure.
Ah Yuan had no choice but to pray in his heart that he would be careful not to be seen as flawed.
One by one, they entered each room, and did not see the person she had met that night.
Isn't it? Ah Yuan's heart suddenly went up and down.
Finally found the person after entering the fourth room, and recognized the person, Ah Yuan didn't dare to stay longer, and when he left the door, he took three steps higher according to what Ji Yun said with a smile just now.
Looking anxiously in the direction of the thick shade, Ji Yunxiao behind the tree gave her a "You can go" gesture.
Ah Yuan's palace maid immediately rushed out of the courtyard!
After what happened this morning, she didn't dare to stay here to see or hear anything anymore!
Ji Yunxiao hid on the treeside, and his actions during the day were a little too eye-catching, so he had to wait for the sky to darken.
Thinking about it, she let go of her feet, changed her position, leaned against the treeside, and squinted at the sunlight through the gaps in the leaves.
Suddenly, a self-deprecating wry smile suckled.
In one day, things really turned around.
If Emperor Jiushu returned to the mansion and knew that the secret room of the Nine Kings' Mansion had been made into a miasma, he didn't know how angry he would be.
And ...... for yourself Got close to getting something, but at the last minute......
Scold......
She really still underestimated Di Jiushu.
However, this failure more or less made Di Jiushu feel more or less embarrassed, and next time he wants to take something, I'm afraid it won't be so simple.
Ji Yunxiao regretted a little, if it wasn't for her softness that night, maybe she could take Di Jiushu as a hostage and exchange things!
But......
Thinking of what happened that night, she still couldn't figure it out, Ming Ming Emperor Jiushu could cleverly get out while he was dragging those people, but he didn't have any trace of leaving.
If he hadn't saved himself, he wouldn't have been hurt.
It's funny to say, Di Jiushu would actually take such a big risk for the sake of a subordinate, and even block his own life.
I really don't know if it's her luck, or another conspiracy played by Emperor Jiushu.
Anyway, if you don't get anything now, you have to stay by Di Jiushu's side sooner or later, and it's better to be close than to let him be on guard sooner or later.
Now, she still does her duty, so that Di Jiushu will not doubt what happened last night on her head.
I didn't know it, and finally waited until it was dark, and all the messengers went out to eat.
And the thief joined the crowd and left the courtyard together.
Ji Yun smiled and saw that there was no one around, and flew to the thief's room.
I have to say that Yeyangguo is indeed very rich, and the rooms where the envoys are resting are all luxuriously and chic, and even she who is used to living in the palace of Cangyun Kingdom and has seen jewels and pearls can't help but be surprised!
Ji Yun smiled and rummaged around.
It's just that to her disappointment, when she searched all the corners where she might have hidden things, she couldn't find the shadow of the cup!
Come to think of it, people who can steal things in front of the queen's nose will naturally not be stupid to put things in their own resting place.
However, I searched all over the place and found nothing.
Then there is only one possibility.
The man must have been carrying a cup!
In this way, it is a little difficult to get the cup back from the other person's hand smoothly.
Ji Yunxiao was a little difficult, she was not from the palace after all, and no matter how bold she was, she didn't dare to act without permission.
