Chi Xia ran down the stairs in a hurry, and she didn't care about looking back to see the true identities of those people, only that she couldn't be discovered by them.

She took two steps with her skirt in one hand and walked in the direction of the first floor, the more she ran downstairs, the more guests came, and Chi Wan took advantage of this excellence to run to the crowd first, so that the other party could not find her figure, and then turned to hide in a place where there were fewer people.

Ji Wan was still flustered, she hid behind a pillar to sort out her emotions a little, and then saw a group of people coming downstairs, and she also poked her head out curiously to recognize the identity of the other party.

However, just by relying on the back, Chi Wan couldn't see anything, and it wasn't until they were confirmed that they were leaving, that Chi Wan came out cautiously.

She felt uneasy in her heart, so she rushed to them to charter the entire second-floor seat and no one was allowed to go up, plus it was this kind of topic to be discussed, but I was afraid that it was an unusual identity, either rich or expensive.

However, regarding the disputes in the palace, Chi Wan didn't mean to get involved in this matter, she didn't want to participate in it at all, didn't it matter to herself.

Chi Wan settled down, pretending that nothing had happened and walked out, the play on the stage just sang a song, Yan Mar looked around and saw Chi Wan not far away, and happily beckoned her over and said, "Sister Wan'er, you are here, you are about to sing the next scene, let's watch it together." ”

"No, I went back beforehand." Chi Wan said goodbye to Yan Mar early, and went to the direction of the gate alone without waiting for her to stay.

When leaving, he passed by a man dressed in blue clothes, who had an unkind look in his eyes and deliberately looked Chi Wan up and down. Ji Wan lowered her head and left quickly, returning home along the long street in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Taking advantage of the fact that Chi Fangrui and the others hadn't come back yet, Chi Xia didn't notice it, and Chi Wan quietly returned to her courtyard. The pear blossoms were scattered all over the ground, glowing with a faint golden glow in the glow.

Ji Wan returned to the room, she dragged her tired body on the window sill, looking at the scenery outside faintly, still thinking about the conversations she had just heard.

The specific geometry of the forces in the court is not clear, Chi Wan only knows a rough idea. The crown prince and the king of Chu are mortal enemies, and she has heard that the prince is competitive, and she wants to compare the king of Chu to the bottom; The king of Chu is as gentle as jade, and he does not fight or rob.

And Xie Yutang works for the faction of the King of Chu, who is personally promoted by the King of Chu, and the relationship between the two can be described as mutual trust, which is very good. Mu Zhufeng, on the other hand, is more important than the prince, and has been helping the prince to do some bad things, both openly and secretly.

She stood up and stretched, thinking to herself: "It's better to think about these things, if you have the energy, you might as well think about what discounts or welfare activities the store should arrange in the near future to attract more customers."

Ji Wan is a person who does what she says, and she then begins to make a series of plans for the follow-up of Fenghetang.

For example, she added a membership system similar to modern times, with the shortest period of time being seven days and the longest being a lifetime until death.

As long as you spend a sum of money to buy a membership voucher in Fenghetang, every time you present the voucher in Fenghetang, you can reduce part of the money, that is, buy things at a cheaper price.

In addition to this, there are of course many other benefits, such as the ability to purchase new clothes in advance and new cosmetics for free.

On various holidays, such as the Shangyuan Festival and the Spring Festival, the discount will increase. On your birthday, the most senior members can even have a set of custom-made dresses from the shopkeeper, which is unique and unique.

Chi Wan listed a series of detailed rules and charging prices, and as for what the voucher was, Chi Wan drew a self-designed placket on the paper, inspired by the name of the store.

With a crescent moon as the center, there are auspicious clouds and incense sticks next to it, and these patterns will only be woven with a special metal wire smeared with gold lacquer, and there are crow blue tassels hanging below, which looks simple and elegant.

In this way, Chi Wan was busy until midnight, and the rustle of the wind through the leaves could still be vaguely heard outside, and Xiu'er thoughtfully left a bowl of warm shredded chicken porridge on the table to warm Chi Wan's stomach.

Ji Wan yawned, and while drinking porridge, her spirit was a little sluggish and she was drowsy, but she heard a squeak that seemed to be a window opening.

She was shocked, because it was cold outside, she had closed all the windows and doors, and Xiu'er and the other maids should have slept and could not come to her room again.

Listening to the source of the sound seemed to be the location of the study inside, Ji Wan's heart was beating fast, and she felt that it was dark around her as soon as she stood up. Because the window was opened, the cold wind rushed in, and the only few candles that were burning were extinguished.

I only felt a cold sweat running out of my back, Chi Wan leaned towards the corner of the wall to seek a sense of security, but she felt a gust of cold wind blowing on her body, and her right hand was fiercely restrained by a strong force, and she couldn't move.

"Who!" Ji Wan subconsciously wanted to pull out her arm but to no avail, because her strength was not as strong as the other party. Then the other party covered Chi Wan's mouth with her other hand, and she was forced to swallow back all those words for help, making a whining sound from her throat.

However, Chi Wan naturally wouldn't just obey her fate like this, she used one foot to kick back, and it happened that the other party's legs were spread, and Chi Wan went straight to the point with this kick.

Even if her strength was not great, this blow still made the other party feel pain, and she directly let go of the hands that controlled her. Chi Wan took the opportunity to hurriedly break free from the shackles and ran all the way to the door in the dark and wanted to run out, but when she was about to arrive, she was pulled back by that strong force, and her previous efforts were wasted.

The man completely controlled Ji Wan, making her unable to move, and Ji Wan was forced to fall to the ground heavily. She also hit her knee with this flick, and she couldn't help moaning in pain, and even her whole leg was numb.

By the faint light of the moon, I saw the man take something out of his bosom, and it seemed that he was about to settle himself. Ji Wan endured the pain, and suddenly touched a hard object in her cuff, and she suddenly remembered that there was a knife here.

It's a pocket dagger, probably the size of a throwing knife in a hidden weapon. Don't look at its small sharpness, it will pull out a red blood line when it is gently wiped over the skin.

She usually hides this small weapon in a hidden pocket on her cuffs, just to prevent Chi Xia and the eldest lady from taking it out and threatening them when they are unreasonable. Unexpectedly, at such a time, it played a life-saving role.

Chi Xia waited for the man to get close to him, saw the opportunity, and inserted a fatal acupuncture point on the opponent's neck in a daze! However, the other party is also a killer, and he subconsciously tilted his head slightly so that he would not die, but the pain quickly spread throughout his body, making him feel uncomfortable.

Chi Wan took the opportunity to kick the table next to her to the ground with her uninjured foot, and the chicken porridge and porridge bowl on the table fell to the ground, and the bowl was completely shattered, and it also caused a huge noise.

"There are assassins! Assassin! Chi Wan then shouted loudly for help, and the surroundings were very quiet, and Chi Wan's voice suddenly spread throughout the entire Chi Mansion, and there was a rush of footsteps outside the maids' house.

The man knew he wouldn't be able to get it tonight, so he put on a mask to prevent his identity from being revealed, and then tried to turn around and leave through the window. How could Chi Wan let him escape easily, she picked up the stool and threw it at the man.

The stool hit the man the back, and even so, as if he had not been hurt in any way, he turned over with one hand on the windowsill and left Chi Wan's room, fleeing.

When the maids and guards arrived with oil lamps, they only saw Chi Wan lying on the ground holding her leg with one hand and looking pained, as well as a pool of blood and a mess.

"Miss! Are you alright, miss! Xiu'er hurriedly rushed to Chi Wan's side, "Come over and help the young lady to the bed!" Then go and call the doctor! ”

"Yes, yes." The maids came to their senses and listened to Xiu'er's command and began to be busy with this and that, and for a while, Chi Wan's courtyard was in a commotion, which naturally affected the eldest lady, Chi Xia and Chi Fangrui.

Early the next morning, Chi Wan woke up in a daze from the pain in her knees, and saw that Xiu'er was intimately helping her with medicine. However, in the whole room, there was only Xiu'er herself, and there was no other person to serve.

"Miss woke up, I was really scared last night, the doctor came to see and said that Miss is fine, as long as she takes medicine every day." Xiu'er said as she applied the cool ointment to Ji Wan's knees, and carefully spread it evenly.

Ji Wan sat up slightly, the soul scene of last night was vivid in her mind, and she couldn't help but shudder when she thought about it afterwards. It's just that they haven't recruited anyone to provoke anyone recently, and if they want to say that the eldest lady did it, they don't need to invite assassins at all.

After thinking about it for a while, Ji Wan suddenly thought of what happened yesterday at the Baiwei Pavilion, which seemed to be the only possible clue to connect. This kind of assassination is also like a method that they like to use for princes and nobles, and the cruelty can be imagined.

The reason why he killed himself was because he was discovered by them when he was escaping, and he was afraid that he would know their plan, so he wanted to kill people.

Although the people can't discuss politics, if they are just discussing politics, there is no need to charter the entire second-floor seat.

Chi Wan recalled it carefully, and she vaguely remembered that she had heard the words poison and kill, and she had been targeting the King of Chu and the emperor during the period.

If it is integrated, Chi Wan guesses that maybe someone wants to harm the King of Chu and the emperor, and discuss the plan there, but it happens to be heard by himself who is passing by, and then wants to kill himself.
