Seeing them leave in the direction of the mountain, Ji Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, where is the prince?" asked Ji Jiu.

Ji Yanning said: "At the bottom of the mountain." ”

The guards of the Dingbei Hou Mansion have already arrived at the bottom of the mountain, and the team of people just now is obviously heading for them, and now those people are going in the direction of the mountain, and before Lord Cen comes, the guards of the Ji family can't go down the mountain.

After all, I don't know when those people will return.

Ji Jiu saw that Ji Yanning's face was pale and covered in blood, and he said worriedly: "Miss, are you really okay?"

Ji Yanning said: "It's okay. ”

But her gaze was still unwavering, like a pool of stagnant water.

It didn't take long for Cen Qingshan to lead people to the place where they were, led by the two guards who went back to report the news.

The whole hill was lit up by firelight.

Ji Yanning's eyes seemed to be lit up by firelight, she turned her head to look in the direction of the person who came, and finally couldn't support it and collapsed.

It was destined to be an unrestful night.

Ji Yanning seemed to have returned to the night when Ying's family was slaughtered, she watched her relatives fall in front of her one by one, and everyone asked her to flee quickly, with a desperate and painful look in her eyes.

The pain before she died was still a past she didn't dare to recall, but it resurfaced in her dreams over and over again.

But no matter how she shouted and cried, those voices and eyes always surrounded her, lingering.

The whole person is like falling into the abyss.

When she opened her eyes, it was her room in the Ji Mansion, her body collapsed, she wanted to speak, but her throat was very dry, she could only turn her head and see the twilight sunlight reflected into the room from the window, shining faintly, inexplicably sentimental.

She stretched out her hand to touch the pale yellow light, but it was out of reach.

"Are you awake?" Yuan Jiaojiao, who was guarding the side, was pleasantly surprised, and pushed the sleepy Ziyu with her hand.

Ziyu woke up suddenly, subconsciously turned her head and looked in the direction of the bed, and sure enough, she saw Ji Yanning wake up.

"Miss. Ziyu immediately stepped forward and held her hand, and found that Ji Yanning's hand was extremely cold, and the quilt was tightly covered, "Miss, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Ji Yanning opened his mouth and said, "Water." ”

Before Yuan Jiaojiao poured a glass of water, Ziyu took it and slowly fed it to Ji Yanning.

The thirsty throat was finally moistened, and Ji Yanning instantly felt a little more sober.

Puzzled, she asked, "How did I get back?"

Yuan Jiaojiao said: "You have been in a coma for six days, so naturally you don't know that it was Steward Wu who went to Luzhou to bring you back." ”

When she came back, she was covered in blood, and she was unconscious, and everyone in the house was worried.

The day after returning to the house, she had a high fever and kept talking nonsense, and a few maids stayed by the bedside day and night, and it took three days for the fever to subside.

Yuan Jiaojiao was also frightened, if Ji Yanning died like this, she would not be able to get the antidote.

Ji Yanning said: "I want to see Ji Jiu." ”

Ziyu answered yes and said, "The slave maid went to call Brother Ji." ”

Only Ji Yanning who was lying on the bed and Yuan Jiaojiao who was guarding the side were left in the room.

Looking at her bloodless face, Yuan Jiaojiao couldn't help but speak: "You are really nosy, be careful to put your life into it." ”

Ji Yanning raised his head and looked at Yuan Jiaojiao.

She said, "Don't worry, I won't die so easily." Even if he dies, isn't there still you?"

"You!" Yuan Jiaojiao was stunned, glared at her, and said angrily, "Both horizontal and vertical are dead, and I wouldn't have worried about your life or death if I knew it." ”

She walked out as she spoke, and went to the side room to call Zisu and Ying'er to come and wait.

It didn't take long for Ji Jiu to come to Ji Yanning's room.

"Miss. Ji Jiu stepped forward and saluted.

Ji Yanning asked, "What's going on with Dingbei Hou?"

Ji Jiu said truthfully: "After the eldest lady fell into a coma, Lord Cen found the bodies of the Hou Shizi of Dingbei and the Hou of Dingbei at the bottom of the mountain, and Lord Cen sent people to escort the people of the Hou Mansion of Dingbei to Chang'an. ”

Ji Yanning's eyes dimmed: "Zhu Jinghe and the people who instructed him to do this, have you been caught?"

Ji Jiu replied: "Zhu Jinghe was killed by his subordinates, and he didn't find the so-called person behind the scenes. Lord Cen asked the master bookkeeper and said that Zhu Jinghe had indeed received strange people these days, but no one except Zhu Jinghe knew their identities. Now that Zhu Jinghe is dead, there is no way to know the traces of those people. ”

Ji Yanning suddenly thought of the group of people she met that night, and she was sure that it was them.

Thinking of this, Ji Yanning only felt a pain in her chest, and she frowned slightly.

Ziyu stepped forward: "Miss, are you okay?

Ji Yanning said softly: "It's okay, just rest and rest." ”

Ji Jiu said: "The eldest lady should rest first, and other things will be solved by Lord Cen." ”

The doctor said that the eldest lady was stimulated and needed to recuperate.

Ji Yanning lay on the bed for another two days before finally recovering his complexion.

The assassination of Dingbeihou by the prefect of Luzhou caused an uproar.

The Marquis of Dingbei has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and his prestige in the Great Wei is not low, but now he is plotted by thieves, and his head is in a different place, which makes people sigh.

The emperor sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, and finally copied Zhu Jinghe's family, and then those of Zhu Jinghe's subordinates were followed by Zhulian, as for the people behind the scenes, they didn't mention anything, and the officials who investigated the case finally determined that it was Zhu Jinghe's personal grudge with the Marquis of Dingbei that led to the assassination.

A month later, the dust settled.

Ji Yanning looked at the news from Chang'an, his face was as cold as ice.

Although I knew that this was the end, I still couldn't help but feel sad.

Steward Wu walked out from outside, saw Ji Yanning's face dark, and stepped forward to ask, "Miss, what happened?"

Ji Yanning came back to his senses, put the letter in his hand into his sleeve, shook his head, and looked up at him: "Why did Steward Wu come over?"

The Liu family replied to the news, the second son of Liu, the second son of Liu Shilang, came to pick up the young lady and the young master to Chang'an, and they will go to Jiangzhou in two days. Steward Wu said.

Liu Xi'er's brother Liu Mu is now a squire in the military department, and the step-wife's two biological sons are not as good as Liu Mu, they are all small officials of the seventh grade, and Liu Xi'er's father Liu Yuan is now serving as the chief secretary of the Zhongshu Ling.

Ji Yanning bowed: "I know, the matter of going to Chang'an will be arranged." ”

Steward Wu said, "Miss, the matter of Madame ......"

"You don't have to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind to go to Chang'an. Ji Yanning said.

"Miss, it's not that the old slave is not at ease, this is why I can't bear to let the eldest lady go on an adventure. Steward Wu said, "My life was saved by the old man's life, even if all the old masters and young masters are gone, I have to protect the young lady and the young master, the young lady has put herself in danger several times, but the old slave is worried that not every time will be so lucky." ”

Since the young lady woke up from falling into the water, her temperament has changed greatly, and her methods are fierce, but what she has done is worrying.

Ji Yanning risked his life to lead out the internal thieves and thieves of Baochang Ji to fight, and when he passed by Hengcheng, he rescued those robbed girls, so that this time he went to rescue Dingbeihou with the guards alone, and he became more and more unable to understand the eldest lady's approach.

Although the eldest lady is not in danger in the end, if she miscalculates a little, I am afraid that the young lady will not be easy to get out.

If it's okay in Jiangzhou, but Miss went to Chang'an, and then made other amazing moves, or provoked some dignitaries with Miss's strong temperament, I don't know what will happen.

Ji Yanning looked up at Steward Wu and said, "I know that what I've done these days has made Uncle Wu worried, for the sake of the Ji family, I will definitely be more cautious in the future, but for the trip to Chang'an, I have to go and ask Uncle Wu to fulfill it." ”

She stood up as she said and bowed to Steward Wu.

Wu Geng was startled, and hurriedly helped her up: "Miss, this is an old slave!"

Ji Yanning said: "It is Yan Ning's luck to have Uncle Wu to help. ”

Wu Geng still sighed after all, he still couldn't convince the eldest lady.

He sighed and laughed and said, "Miss Meng trusts, the old slave will definitely guard the Jiangzhou Ji family and keep the Baochang Ji." ”

Ji Yanning solemnly saluted Wu Geng.

In any case, she will be responsible for the Ji family in the future with Ji Yanning's identity.

Wu Geng walked out of the courtyard, Ji Yanning got up and went to the pharmacy, and Pearl was reading a medical book.

Seeing Ji Yanning walk in, Pearl put the medical book aside and stepped forward: "Miss, do you want to dispense medicine?"

Ji Yanning said: "Pearl, from tomorrow, you don't have to come over again." ”

Pearl was stunned, she didn't understand what Ji Yanning meant, she said, "Miss, is this going to drive the slave away?"

Ji Yanning said: "No, it's just that in a few days, I'm going to Chang'an, you are the daughter of the shopkeeper, he is naturally reluctant to let you go far away, so naturally he can't take you with him." ”

"The slave waits for the eldest lady to come back. Pearl said.

Although she received the silver of the first-class maid from the eldest lady, she never had to do any rough work, but only worked hard when the eldest lady was making poison and medicine, helping to get medicine and boiling medicine, and the rest of the time she learned to distinguish herbs and read medical books, and the eldest lady would often teach her, so she liked the life in Jifu very much.

Ji Yanning said: "I went to Chang'an, not I can come back in a short period of time, at least a year and a half, at most three or five years, or maybe I will take Lang'er to settle down in Chang'an, you don't have to spend it in the Ji family, anyway, you didn't sign a deed of sale." ”

After listening to Ji Yanning's words, Pearl finally understood.

She said: "The slave maid went to Chang'an with the eldest lady. ”

Ji Yanning said: "If the shopkeeper agrees, I have no opinion." ”

Pearl immediately said, "I'll convince Daddy!"

Ji Yanning bowed, walked in the direction of the medicine cabinet and began to pick up the medicine, Pearl silently followed behind her, but her expression was very firm.
