Chapter 482: An agreement is reached
After seeing her agree, the shadow man hesitated for a moment, and finally put away the dagger, put it in the scabbard in his arms, and dropped a sentence.
"Close the window quickly, and if someone asks, you say it's just a matter of getting up and pouring tea by yourself."
The shadow man said as he walked to the table in the center of her room and sat down with his legs crossed as if he were the master of the place. And Ji Xiaolan was terrified, but when she came back to her senses, she really listened to him, closed the window, stuffed the cursed doll into a drawer, turned around and returned to her usual arrogance when she treated others.
"Hmph, idiot."
"What did you say?" The black shadow man did not take off his mask, only revealed a pair of very sharp eyes, outside, at this moment, he was staring at Ji Xiaolan walking in front of him, one hand was still pressed on the dagger in his arms, as if as long as Ji Xiaolan dared to make the slightest move, he would take out the knife and kill people.
Ji Xiaolan stood still, and it was obvious that she was still very afraid of this knife, but she lowered her eyes for a moment, and she could still maintain this last trace of calm.
"You don't know how important whispering is to a woman, not to mention that I'm still the young lady of the Ministry of Works, if someone spreads it, how can I still have the face to live in this world. But Your Excellency doesn't look like an ordinary thief who robs a house, with such a good martial arts, could it be that you have taken a fancy to something in our house? ”
"I just want to remind Your Excellency first, my father is just a secretary of the Ministry of Works, responsible for repairing the dilapidated palace in the palace, Your Excellency is from Daliao, these house construction, mason carpenters, should have nothing to do with you."
The previous words sounded like an ordinary girl's nagging about her own reputation in the boudoir, but the latter sentence made this black shadow immediately pay attention to it. He held his hand on the hilt, but for some reason, he seemed to think of something else and let it go again.
"I didn't expect that Miss was in the boudoir, and the door was not out of the door, but she had such good eyes, how did you see that I was from Daliao?"
"It's not unusual, it's just that I found that the dagger in your hand is very different, so I have this bold guess, but I didn't expect it to really make me guess."
Ji Xiaolan pretended to stand calmly, but she was still scared in her heart, so she didn't dare to move here for a long time.
Although Da Liao and Huijiang have business contacts with the Murong Dynasty, the difference between the two places is still obvious, the most important thing is that when Ji Xiaolan just lowered his head, he saw a trace on the wrist of the black shadow that seemed to have been scratched by a fierce beast.
Huijiang is timid, and there is no unified front, he will always only make some small moves behind his back, and it is absolutely impossible for someone as bold as Heiying to run to the capital without authorization, so the rest may become the closest to the capital.
"You're not stupid." Hei Hard nodded silently, he had never heard that the women in the Murong Dynasty were as gentle as water, and they were timid, except for Feng Xiaoyue, he had rarely heard that Feng Xiaoyue dared to choke in front of the emperor and other ministers in the court, admiring that she was the first woman in the Murong Dynasty, Ji Xiaolan was also able to open his eyes.
"So, Your Excellency, come here, but what is the important matter, maybe there is something I can come in handy." Ji Xiaolan's words sounded very much like he refused to enter the palace draft, and he may have deliberately retaliated because of this, and he did not hesitate to unite with foreign people, so he should cooperate with outsiders. But in fact, she can't say anything else in this situation, after all, it is most important to save her life first.
"Originally, I did have a plan to come over, but when I heard the young lady's scolding under the window just now, I changed my mind." The black shadow thought about it, and probably understood what Ji Xiaolan meant, so he deliberately spoke like this and pulled Ji Xiaolan into the water, so that she didn't have to worry about her changing her mind after she left.
"Miss hates the Empress Emperor of this dynasty, and I have come here on a mission under the orders of my lord, so I can help Miss as long as Miss can recommend me to him in front of Lord Shangshu."
Judging from the cursed doll made by Ji Xiaolan, you can know how deeply resentful she is about entering the palace, even if she wants to refute it and not admit it, she can't deny it.
Ji Xiaolan gasped slightly, she was really moved by the conditions of this exchange, so she simply stepped forward and sat down in front of the black shadow generously.
"I agreed, you just say what you want."
"Miss is really a cheerful person, aren't you afraid that I will do something unfavorable to your country and the lord? If someone leaks out like this, you will be laughed at by the whole world. ”
The black shadow couldn't help but be curious, but saw Ji Xiaolan pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were full of indifferent emotions, "What about the king of a country?" What about the people of the world? Whoever stands in my way, I will not let her have a good time. ”
"Miss can see that only what she has in her hands is the most real." The black shadow admired it on his lips, but in fact, he sneered in his heart, if a country, a court, and all of them were like this, then it would be a matter of time before the country perished.
"My name is Mo Hua, if the young lady wants to contact me, you can sit at a tea stall on the corner of the southwest intersection of Suzaku Street and wait for a while, and I will naturally appear. My purpose is simple, if the young lady introduces me to your father's office, and says that I am skilled in carpenter's work. ”
"I see." Ji Xiaolan nodded silently, although she didn't know what method Mo Hua could use to help her wish come true, but he tried his best to find the reason for his father's subordinates, and she could figure it out.
Recently, there is no place in the Quartet to use the place of the Ministry of Works, to build palaces, or to repair bridges and roads. In order to save money and prevent the treasury from being empty, Murong Lin only asked the Ministry of Industry to renovate the old palace, on the one hand, to save expenses, and on the other hand, to avoid supporting the group of people in the Ministry of Industry in vain.
And if Mo Hua is under his father's hands, he will inevitably be taken to the harem by him. Ji Xiaolan was not worried that Mo Hua would openly assassinate the emperor and empress in the harem, it was estimated that there was something important in the palace that he wanted.
"Then I'll leave first, and wait quietly for the good news from Miss." Mo Hua smiled softly, checked again if his mask was on, and then climbed out of the window where he had come in before.
He came over this time with the intention of stealing him, how to give the layout of the palace in the single palace, but when he met Ji Xiaolan, it gave him a surprise, being able to see it with his own eyes is better than looking at the drawings outside and studying it, not to mention that mixing in with the court officials, Da Liao's future work will be better carried out.
Early this morning, Ji Xiaolan sat up from the bed suddenly, recalling what happened last night, a strange man broke into his boudoir, still holding a sharp blade in his hand, and he was really lucky to be able to live unharmed until now.
Ji Xiaolan patted the back of her head, thinking that she was in a dream, until she found the cursed doll she made herself from the drawer, and then she felt like she had just woken up from a big dream.
"Magpie, magpie!" Ji Xiaolan hurriedly hid the doll in her hand, and began to call the magpie in silently.
The magpie had just cleaned up herself, and suddenly heard Ji Xiaolan shouting as if she was urging her there, and hurriedly took a basin of water in her hand and came over to wash her face. In order to prevent water from spilling on the ground, magpies have to be extra careful when walking.
"Miss, the water is ready, the slave maid will wait for you to wash your face."
"Well, when did my father usually come back from the morning court?" Ji Xiaolan agreed, and pretended that nothing had happened, took a few handfuls of water on her face, washed it a little, took the handkerchief from the magpie's hand, and wiped the water droplets clean.
"Miss, have you forgotten, the old man usually comes back from the early dynasty, is there something wrong with the young lady looking for the master?" The magpie agreed, and when he raised his head, he saw Ji Xiaolan's expression that was still thinking.
"That's still early, when my father returns, you will come and inform me." Ji Xiaolan thought about it, and threw the handkerchief in her hand into the basin.
In the palace, Feng Xiaoyue has been raising a baby in the palace for a long time, the child in this belly is well-behaved, and there is no trouble, although Feng Xiaoyue has had a happy reaction for a month or two, but fortunately, she has survived.
It's just that after all, because of the long time, Feng Xiaoyue's belly has also grown day by day. Although Feng Xiaoyue is not such an accidental person, but seeing that she suddenly gained so much weight, she is inevitably a little unhappy in her heart, her face is not good day by day, and Xiaoyun and Xiaoyu around her are funny and worried.
"The queen doesn't have to worry about this matter, as long as the prince is born from the womb in a few months, the queen can still recover as bright as before." Xiao Yu said while taking a plate of snacks and putting them in Feng Xiaoyue's hand, while Xiao Yun sat at Feng Xiaoyue's feet and beat her legs.
"Every day, I won't be allowed to move, I won't be allowed to go, I just eat and sleep, sleep and eat, I'm afraid that even if the child is born, it won't be so easy to lose weight back."
Feng Xiaoyue glanced at the inventory and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. These days, because she has an extra child in her belly, she needs to take in twice as much nutrients as usual, usually her appetite is not good, but at this time she eats very deliciously, no wonder he has such worries.
"Mother's golden body, why worry about this?"
