Xia Jinnian didn't expect Ji Qiang to answer so seriously, she looked at her with some surprise for a while, but then softened her expression, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and grabbed her slender hand, "Since it is a life-saving grace, should it be true to repay the favor with a personal promise?" ”

"You're already awake, aren't you?" The words come out, but they are a declarative sentence.

In the face of Xia Jinnian's teasing words, Ji Qiang silently pulled out her hand, put the teacup back on the table, and lit the candles on the table together.

For a while, the room was filled with soft candlelight, Ji Qiang took a deep breath, suppressed the thoughts in her heart, and turned to look at Xia Jinnian who had already sat up on the bed.

His pale face was a little bloody under the candle flame, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the expression in his eyes seemed to reflect the candle flame, obscure.

Ji Qiang's heart skipped a beat, looked away unnaturally, and coughed lightly: "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the prince, and I will repay you after this matter." ”

"What? Since the princess is not here to repay the favor, then she is here to negotiate the conditions? The smile on Xia Jinnian's face did not decrease by half, and he said slowly: "But now I and Miss Ji are now a lifelong friendship, and it is not an exaggeration to call them friends, right?" ”

Ji Qiang couldn't figure out what he was thinking, pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

Xia Jinnian was already because she almost endangered her life, no matter what the conditions should be, it should be reasonable, but when he said that he promised himself, why did he hesitate?

Just when she was out of her mind, she heard someone call her name, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Xia Jinnian's meaningful smile, "Since Ruowei doesn't mind, then we are so commensurate." ”

Ruowei is her milk name, how could Xia Jinnian know?

However, if you think about it carefully, King Qi's forces have been rooted everywhere in the early years, and it is easy to find out this kind of news, but it is always a little uncomfortable to call her like this.

Seeing Ji Qiang's stiff face, Xia Jinnian pretended to be puzzled and asked her if she didn't like it, Ji Qiang held back a fire in her heart, thinking about the purpose of her coming today, she forcibly suppressed her anger and raised a very polite smile, "The prince can call how he likes." ”

Xia Jinnian raised his eyebrows, glanced at her with some surprise, and stopped playing tricks, put away his previous cynical appearance, and the corners of his mouth were still raised arcs, "What Ruowei wants to know, I naturally investigate it clearly." But before that, I'm afraid you already have seven or eight percent certainty in your heart. ”

Ji Qiang pursed her lips, her eyes narrowed even more when she heard his words, and the smile on her face completely faded, "What the prince didn't tell me before is the so-called merman tears." Among the looted gold and silver treasures, only this one was protected by the Eighth Prince, and it may be that the thieves were careless and happened to miss a treasure when they evacuated. ”

"But at that time, the clues deliberately left by the Eighth Prince, the so-called mermaid tears are extremely rare night pearls, which are covered in black before they are polished, and the better the qualifications, the more complicated the patterns on them will be. The only thing I could get in touch with now was the organization that assassinated me. ”

Ji Qiang said more and more, her face sank more and more.

In her previous life, when she was about to find out the true face of "Jiao", Xia Chengmu had already beaten her into the cold palace and overturned her entire Guogong Mansion overnight, and there was no news of this organization until now.

Xia Jinnian heard what she said, and a hint of darkness flashed in her eyes, "You are really smart, and you are worthy of Princess Xiaoyang who broke the insoluble array with her own strength." The tone was full of laughter and interest. vertex

Ji Qiang listened to his painless pouting, and snorted coldly, "That's thanks to the help of the prince, under the pretext of the investigation, and His Majesty drove the Dali Siqing to Hezhou, and Hezhou is only a distance away from the pond, and the most interesting thing is that the Dali Siqing before that was related to Xie Yu is a cousin." ”

Ji Qiang said slowly, but her eyes were staring at Xia Jinnian, and after a while, she could hear his low laughter, "I've found it here, the movement is quite fast, I really didn't see the wrong person." ”

Ji Qiang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and said with a smile: "So this matter is already very clear, I came this time, one is to correct what I think in my heart, and the other is for the matter of 400,000 silver taels, the three-day appointment is approaching, and I will trouble the prince at that time." ”

"Please also ask the prince to take care of his injuries." After putting down all the wound medicine she had brought before, Ji Qiang raised her luck and left the Qi Palace.

After the people left, Xia Jinnian seemed to be relieved, his face was already pale, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and the wounds on his body were now red again because of the action just now.

called Fang Ping, but after two breaths, Fang Ping had already brought the bandage for changing the dressing with his hands and feet, and he was very skillful in changing the bandage for Xia Jinnian.

"Master, do you really need this?" Fang Ping stood aside, looking at the bottles and cans on the table, looking at him with a somewhat complicated expression.

Xia Jinnian's face did not have half of the previous frivolous color, and he frowned slightly after listening to his words, and the expression in his eyes was cold, "Noisy." Throwing the blood-stained veil into the copper basin, "Have you prepared everything you have prepared?" ”

Fang Ping realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly nodded in response, Xia Jinnian didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to let him step back.

Looking at the flickering candle flame on the table, her thoughts wandered, although she did gain her trust when she was injured, but with her intelligence, I am afraid that she was more or less aware that Ji Qiang's growth speed was really beyond his expectations.

Listening to her words today, I'm afraid that even the evidence is ready.

Ji Qiang returned to the princess's mansion It was already a long night, there was a faint light in the sky, chamomile had not slept in the house all night, and as soon as she heard a movement, she went to the window to greet Ji Qiang.

"Princess, are things going well?" Chamomile took Ji Qiang's clothes and asked.

"It's all right, chamomile, go back, remember to be careful." Ji Qiang's voice came from behind the screen, and as she spoke, she had already changed into her bedclothes and walked out, glancing at the night clothes in her hand, "It's all handled, be careful not to be seen." ”

Chamomile nodded, grabbed something and went out.

The three-day appointment came as scheduled, Ji Qiang arrived at the warehouse, and after waiting for a while, Kuang's came late, and with her, there were local governors who came with her, and couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

Kuang's saluted very casually, "The princess came really early, I'm afraid she has already prepared 400,000 taels of silver, and she can't wait to settle the bill?" The tone was full of sarcasm.

When the governor saw Ji Qiang, his eyes flashed, and he flattered the princess.
