Ji Yanning ordered to go down, and then looked at Rong Che, who was playing chess in the pavilion.

She slowly stepped forward to the table, looking down at his chessboard.

Rong Che turned his head to look at her, his gaze was gentle, the moonlight sprinkled on his face, as if it would glow, shining, those eyes were like bright stars in the sky.

Ji Yanning sat opposite him and said with a smile: "Why don't you sleep yet?"

"Waiting for you. Rong Che said, "The things in the shop are not in a hurry, we can stay in the town for a few more days, you don't have to work so hard." ”

As he spoke, he pushed a cup of white seeds to Ji Yanning's hand.

Ji Yanning glanced at the chessboard, pinched a chess piece, but did not fall in a hurry, and said, "It's okay, it's better to solve it earlier." ”

There is no need to put off such a trivial matter.

She pondered for a moment, then dropped the white child, and then looked at Rong Che.

Rong Che said: "Didn't you think about telling the queen about your identity?"

He knew that Ying Caiwei and Queen Zhuang had a very strong relationship at the beginning, and they grew up together since childhood, so they thought it was different from others.

She can tell her identity to Imperial Doctor Fang, but she still has to hide it from the queen, which is a little puzzling.

When Ji Yanning heard him mention the queen, some complicated emotions flashed in her deep eyes, and she smiled bitterly: "Why do you want to tell her? When I went back to Chang'an, I didn't want to tell anyone my identity from beginning to end." Twenty years is too long to make a person unrecognizable. ”

Rong Che knew what she was afraid of, and said softly, "The queen has always been a very gentle person. ”

Ji Yanning said: "But it has nothing to do with me." ”

Rong Che heard the rejection in her words, but did not continue to mention the matter.

He held the sunspot in his hand and landed on the chessboard.

Ji Yanning still has some mustard for the queen in his heart.

Although they used to be very good handkerchiefs that they had grown up together since childhood, after the fall of the Ying family and the Lou family, didn't she suspect that it was the emperor's handiwork? But she still married the emperor and became the empress.

Maybe she was forced to become the queen, because with her original identity and family background, Rong Liang made a choice in order to stabilize the government, and she was helpless for the sake of the family, but it still made Ji Yanning feel guilty.

She doesn't ask others to avenge herself, nor does she ask them to find out the truth, after all, the Ying family has been destroyed, and there is no reason to let others fall into this place again.

But when her friend chooses to ignore it, she understands, but she can't let go.

The two of them played chess for a while, and Rong Che soon found that he was cornered and had nowhere to go.

He chuckled lightly, and then put the sunspot in his hand back into the chessboard.

"It's time to rest. Rong Che got up, walked behind Ji Yanning, and gently rubbed her shoulder.

Ji Yanning nodded, didn't say anything more, and went back to his room.

Rong Che looked at Ji Yanning's back, and for some reason, he could feel the lonely feeling on Ji Yanning's body.

He is not her, although he grew up in the palace and has experienced a lot of calculations and sufferings, but compared to Ji Yanning, all this seems to be not worth mentioning.

But no matter what, he wanted to protect this woman.

When Ji Yanning came to the town, she didn't bring Ziyu and Pearl with her, so they were the two maids arranged for her by the shopkeeper.

When she got up on the second day, the maid had already brought in the warm water for washing, and after Ji Yanning had washed up, she walked out of the room.

She practiced archery in the courtyard for a while, and then she saw the shopkeeper coming from outside.

The shopkeeper had already found those silk shops yesterday and discussed with them to convey Ji Yanning's words.

But they are still a little worried, after all, before they find out the troublemaker, even if they buy again, they are afraid that they will lose. The shopkeeper said to Ji Yanning, "So they are still hesitating." ”

Ji Yanning said: "Then let them use our Baochang Ji goods first, if it is damaged, there is no need to compensate, if it is not damaged, it can be calculated according to the share of the shop on weekdays." ”

Hearing Ji Yanning's words, the shopkeeper was also slightly stunned.

However, seeing Ji Yanning's confident appearance, he still responded.

He still knows a thing or two about this eldest lady's ability, so he just does what he is told.

"By the way, Miss, are you going to go out these two days?" asked the shopkeeper.

Ji Yanning said: "What's the matter?"

Looking at his appearance, it is obvious that he has something to say.

The shopkeeper said: "Recently, this town is not ** peaceful, the eldest lady still has to show up outside from time to time, in short, there is nothing to see in this town, naturally it is not as good as Chang'an." ”

Ji Yanning listened to the shopkeeper's words, frowned slightly, and was a little puzzled.

"Isn't there any security in this town? I haven't heard of any serious cases. Ji Yanning said.

If there is, it should have been reported to Dali Temple a long time ago.

The shopkeeper said: "Actually, it's not a big case, it's just that in the past few months, there have always been so many girls in the town who have been disfigured, although it doesn't hurt their lives, but it's really shocking." ”

The eldest lady is so good-looking, although there are guards by her side, the shopkeeper is still worried.

"Disfigured?" Ji Yanning listened to the shopkeeper's words, a little surprised, and then frowned, "That's really not all." ”

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "There are many beautiful girls in this town, but their inexplicable faces are ruined, and I don't know what's going on. ”

Ji Yanning asked, "I don't know why I was disfigured?"

The shopkeeper said: "It's because of the inexplicable appearance of some red rashes on the face, and it will become blue, which is really unbearable to look at." ”

Ji Yanning said: "Isn't that poisoning? Didn't you go to see a doctor?"

"Naturally, I went to find a lot of doctors, but I couldn't find out what was going on. The shopkeeper said, "There are not many people in this town who are really rich and noble, but there are also people who love their daughters and go to Chang'an to seek medical treatment, but they can't find a doctor who can cure them." ”

Ji Yanning listened to what the shopkeeper said, and his face was deep in thought.

If this is the case, then the murderer behind the poisoning of the girls seems to be also a master of using poison.

No wonder when she went to the street yesterday, so many people's eyes looked at her, because she was worried about her face.

Ji Yanning listened to the shopkeeper's words, but said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid." ”

"Miss, this is not a joke. The shopkeeper dissuaded.

Ji Yanning thought for a while and said, "I know a little bit about medical skills, I want to go and see what's going on, after all, I live in this town now, so it's better to take precautions." ”

When the shopkeeper heard Ji Yanning say this, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "The daughter of the old Zhang family in our shop has been disfigured, if the eldest lady really wants to visit, it is not impossible." ”

Ji Yanning nodded and said, "Okay, you can arrange it." ”

Seeing that the eldest lady insisted on this, the shopkeeper was not good at saying anything, and after getting along in the past two days, he knew that his eldest lady was a very thoughtful person, and as long as she made a decision, she would not be easily shaken.

The shopkeeper can only go down to arrange.

Rong Che walked in from the outside, saw Ji Yanning's solemn face, stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Yanning said: "Didn't you say yesterday that there were many people staring at me on the street, I asked the shopkeeper, and he said that there are many good-looking girls in this town who have been ruined for some reason." ”

Rong Che said: "I was about to talk to you about this, but I didn't expect you to already know." ”

"What results did you find?" Ji Yanning raised his eyebrows.

Rong Che said: "Actually, it's almost the same as what you know, and I haven't checked it out in detail." But don't put yourself at risk. ”

He knew Ji Yanning, sometimes in order to lure the snake out of the hole, in order to catch people, he even did not hesitate to use himself as bait.

Ji Yanning smiled: "What, are you afraid that you won't be able to protect me?"

"Even if you believe me, I don't want you to put yourself in any dangerous situation. Rong Che said, "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm not so conceited as to risk your safety." ”

Seeing his serious expression, Ji Yanning couldn't help laughing.

"I see. Ji Yanning couldn't help but smile, "I just want to see those disfigured girls." ”

Originally, I just wanted to find a place to rest, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, Ji Yanning didn't mind helping them.

After all, the current Chang'an City is still in chaos, and at this time Chang'an is probably still investigating the incident of Su Guifei.

According to the temperament of the second prince, he can't trust Dali Temple, and he should find someone from the Criminal Department to investigate the case, but no matter how he investigates, it is already a fact that Su Guifei has become a waste, and it is impossible to find out his head again.

The two of them had breakfast together, and the shopkeeper had already returned, saying that Lao Zhang was willing to let Ji Yanning go to their house to have a look.

Ji Yanning didn't delay, after all, before the matter of Baochang Ji had not moved, she was idle.

When he went out this time, Ji Yanning put on a veil, got into the carriage, and followed the shopkeeper to Lao Zhang's house.

Lao Zhang is a handyman in Baochang Ji, his legs and feet are a little inconvenient, he is a woman, he is a baby, he has always loved his daughter very much, and he is reluctant to let her work on weekdays, so he is extra smart.

Ji Yanning listened to the shopkeeper talk about this matter along the way, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Lao Zhang is such a daughter, I didn't expect to be ruined by someone, and I feel very distressed, but his daughter Caidie is a filial piety, she cried for two days, she couldn't see her father sad, she just pretended that she was fine, the original watery face became like this, how could it be okay?"

While talking, they had already arrived outside the courtyard of Lao Zhang's house, which was not big and looked a little dilapidated, but it was already good in this town.

Ji Yanning stepped on a low stool and got out of the carriage.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and knocked on the door and said, "Lao Zhang, the eldest lady is here." ”
