Chapter 29: Cross-examination
"Your Highness?" I looked at his long and thin figure, and I knew that I would accept it myself.
"Don't worry, even if I wear this fox fur, I will still be riddled with yin diseases, you don't like it, in the future, there will be no fur clothes made of animal fur in the Anqian Palace." As he spoke, he began to cough slightly.
I turned around and closed the door of the dormitory, and the night breeze from outside the province poured into the dormitory.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem."
Behind him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's cough became more and more rapid.
I hurried towards him and saw red blood leaking from the gap between his slender fingers.
"Your Highness?" In my cognition, coughing up blood is an incurable disease, even if it is not a yin disease.
Once upon a time, when someone in the village coughed up blood, Master said that it was "tuberculosis", and he should eat and drink, because he was dying.
"Don't be afraid, I'm coughing up blood, it's not a day or two." He actually opened his mouth to soothe me first.
I frowned, pulled out my handkerchief, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then lowered my head to wipe his hand clean for him.
I thought in my heart that I would try it tomorrow and use ordinary methods to condition His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first.
"Xiyan, today, you rest early." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince probably didn't want me to see him so weak, so he shouted out of the door and asked the palace maid outside to take me back to my room to rest.
"Then Your Highness, rest early." I thought that if I was gone, he would be able to lie down on the warm bed.
"Hmm." His purple lips twitched slightly.
Then I followed the ladies out of his dormitory, and returned to my room, where I found that silver frost charcoal had been added, which was the finest kind of charcoal, and did not produce smoke, but which warmed the whole house.
"Girl, you rest, the slaves and maids are guarding the door, and if necessary, the girl will speak." After the maid finished speaking, she withdrew.
However, before the door of the house could be closed, Grandpa Sun came with a cloak, which he placed on the wooden table, and then took something out of his sleeve.
I took a closer look, wasn't that the money bag I gave him earlier?
"Miss Ji, this slave is still returned to Miss Ji, you can do things for Miss Ji, the slave is very honored, and you must not accept this." When he had said that, he put the money bag on the table.
"Eh, Grandpa Sun, this is just a little bit of my mind, if you don't accept it, you will be too little money!" I know that he is afraid that I will "climb" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and settle accounts with him when I turn back.
Otherwise, how could a person like him, who had been in the palace for most of his life, spit out the money he had received.
"No, no, no, the minion didn't mean that." Grandpa Sun hurriedly shook his head.
"Then take it." I said to him with a smile.
When he saw that I was so "open-minded," he took the money bag back again, and then said some kind words and left the house.
I took off my gown and lay down on the bed tiredly, thinking nothing of anything in my head, and fell asleep in a state of confusion.
"Chu Xiyan, this Divine Monarch has been waiting for you, why haven't you come back?"
"God-king?"
I don't know how long I slept, but I stared at him as if I heard the voice of the Stygian Beilin, and heard him calling my name, so I opened my eyes in confusion.
As a result, this opening of my eyes startled me, because the two little palace maids were standing on the edge of my bed, and they looked at them so coldly that I sat up directly.
"Miss Ji, the slave is here to tell you to get up for breakfast." Seeing that they were scared of me, the two little palace maids hurriedly opened their mouths to explain.
"Breakfast?" I rubbed my eyes, glanced in the direction of the window, and found that it was already getting dark, so I hurriedly got up and washed.
After washing, I ate breakfast and went to visit His Royal Highness the Prince.
However, in the bedroom of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there seemed to be someone else, and Grandpa Sun asked me to wait outside the door.
I waited for about a cup of tea, when there was a sound of footsteps in the dormitory, which drew closer and closer, and finally the door of the dormitory was pushed open.
I looked towards the door, and my body couldn't help but stiffen, because the person who came out of it was Xiao Ce.
This person always gives me a sense of gloom and compassion, and he doesn't smile, which makes people very afraid when they look at it.
"This priest, I have something to say to you." He didn't look at me, but he was supposed to be saying this to me?
I looked at him, and he walked towards the side of the corridor.
Grandpa Sun on the side hurriedly motioned for me to come over, and I nodded and followed Xiao Ce.
When he walked to the long corridor where there was no one, Xiao Ce suddenly spoke.
"Who the hell are you?" His question was straightforward.
"Huh? Back to the high priest, the maiden's name is Ji Xiaoyan. I looked at him and replied with a serious face.
"When you entered the palace, Aunt Zhen should have asked about your family history, and you said that she was the daughter of the owner of Zijin Silk Village, but this priest searched the entire Shengjing, and there was no shop called "Zijin Silk Village" at all. Xiao Ce stared at me with a gloomy look in his eyes.
My heart thumped suddenly, and when I was in the carriage, Aunt Zhen suddenly asked us how many family histories we had, and I made one up casually.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhen told Xiao Ce.
"What is the purpose of your entry into the palace?" He continued to ask.
"High Priest, that's my good face, nonsense, in fact, my father is just a guy who helps in the silk village." I immediately changed my tune.
"What is it? What's your father's name? "He stared at me, it seems that if he doesn't ask about being ugly today, this Xiao Ce is not going to let me go.
"Huh? Be? "I felt anxious.
Because, I have long heard Sister Yulan say that the shops in Beijing cannot be opened if they are opened, they must be reported and approved before they can be opened.
Therefore, as long as I say the name of the silk village, Xiao Ce can investigate it without much effort.
Seeing that I was struggling, Xiao Ce's face became more and more gloomy: "Say! Did you come with some purpose? ”
His hand pressed against my shoulder, and with such force that I felt like my shoulder was going to be crushed.
"High priest, I don't understand what you say." I looked at him blankly.
Xiao Ce's sword eyebrows were raised high, as if he wanted to kill me now.
"Lord Priest!"
At this time, Aunt Xin appeared in time, and she was still following Biluo.
But Xiao Ce didn't mean to let go at all, and he didn't care about Aunt Xin, he just stared at me.
"Lord Priest, Concubine Yong, please Miss Ji to go to Yongxin Palace for a while." Bi Luo opened his mouth and said to Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked sideways at Biluo.
"Lord Priest, Niangniang feels that she is in love with Miss Ji, and wants to invite the girl to come over and talk and relieve her boredom." Biluo lowered her head, not daring to look at Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce snorted coldly, and then let go of me.
"Ji Xiaoyan, you are really capable, the masters in this palace are all in favor of you!" Xiao Ce's tone of speech, yin and yang, must have deepened his suspicion of me.
