Chapter 105: Blood Jade
It is getting dusk, and the entire Da'an Palace is under the light of wisps of light, and there is a little less coldness and alienation.
Ji Erlan squinted at the distant golden in the west, and the dark tide in her heart surged, she entered the Da'an Palace for the first time at that time, as the mother of the Yan family, in order to canonize the first product and enter the palace to thank her. But then, she was annihilated by the struggle for power and lost her chance to live.
"Why are you standing here stunned?"
Yang Zhen's usual low and cold voice came from behind her, pulling Ji Erlan out of her memory stiffly, she suddenly came back to her senses, and saw the other party standing in the sunset against the light, unable to see his complexion and expression, only his voice echoed in her ears, blocking the old memories that broke the dust and became clearer and clearer.
Ji Erlan gently tugged at the corners of her mouth, but it was clearly not a smile, she said, "Here, it's really cold." ”
Yang Wei was a little surprised, but after a while, he snorted and said, "That's right, this is a place where no matter how warm the sun is, it can't shine through." Perhaps only a moment when the skyrocketing fire burned it to ashes could leave a trace of residual warmth. ”
When Yuexi heard this, she was so frightened that she suddenly took two steps back, and she didn't even dare to raise her head again. I only felt that there was a thin sweat oozing out of my back, and I was shivering when I was blown by the cold wind of late autumn.
Yang Wei glanced at her lightly, ignored it, and said to Ji Erlan: "Get out of the palace." ”
"Is the prince already busy?" Ji Erlan felt that Yang Zhen would not be so kind to wait for her to leave the palace with him. It would be good to remember to tell others, and it would be good to lead her out of the palace when the time came.
"Today is just to enter the palace and return to the emperor to build Penglai Immortal Pavilion, and then go to the Queen Mother's palace to ask for peace. When I came out, I thought you should have almost done it. ”
"Thank you Lord Wang, otherwise you will inevitably be interrogated for a long time when you leave the palace."
Yang Zhen was noncommittal, and asked casually, "Is there anything worth paying attention to in Yunhua Palace?" ”
"Well, there are some clues, tomorrow, I will go to Xu's house and ask about Xu Gongzi."
When I came out of the palace and returned to Jifu, the sky was already dark. Ji Erlan was called to the study by Ji Chenglin as soon as possible and asked about the situation on this day. She didn't hide it, and explained all kinds of doubts in the case one by one, Ji Chenglin couldn't hide her surprise: "Er Lan, how sure are you of this?" ”
"It's all speculation and it's not confirmed, but the results will come soon."
Ji Chenglin's eyes flashed, and then he said with a straight face: "In this case, you must remember to be cautious in everything, and you must not make mistakes, if the case can be successfully solved through your hands, there will be great light on your father's face!" ”
"Yes, Erlan knows."
Back to the empty mountain building, a few girls gathered around to serve and freshen up, Ji Erlan saw that the redness and swelling on Duyu's cheeks had subsided, and said: "Hurt the muscles and bones for a hundred days, and the feet of Dusk Winter will be unable to walk for a while and a half, so take care of it, a girl's family, don't fall into trouble." ”
Twilight stood behind Ji Erlan and combed her hair, looked at her restored cheeks in the bronze mirror, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, you can't get rid of the root of the disease." The slave's face was also swelled with Su Gu's medicine, and there was no bruise or purple left. I didn't expect Su Gu to be the same age as us, and his medical skills were so clever. ”
"Hmm." When they came back from the palace last night, they told the story in detail. Ji Tianjiao was provoked by the green frieze to snatch the lotus hairpin, which is really stupid, and he can't be stupid anymore. But to Ji Erlan's surprise and delight, the Qin clan had solved such a tricky matter with all their might, which made her feel depressed and really relieved. "It's just a few of you who have been wronged."
"Slaves and maids are not aggrieved, and it is the duty of slaves and maids to protect their masters. It's just that the slaves and maids have little strength, and in the end they are still the masters. If it weren't for his wife, the eldest girl would probably have succeeded. ”
Twilight followed Ji Erlan into the palace that day, and didn't see Ji Tianjiao come to make trouble, but thinking about it, she could know how arrogant and unreasonable the other party was at that time, she said angrily: "Hmph, this is just rushing the girl and the moon breath are not there, no one can control them, it's really calculating." That green frieze has a bad stomach, she really damns it, and she is cheaper to sell her feet. ”
Ji Erlan also felt that the Qin clan was too soft-handed, and the green frieze had a lot of grudges with them, big and small, and it was inevitable that it would be a scourge to keep them. It's just that since the Qin family has already opened his mouth, it is not easy to regret it anymore. "What I told before, can I explain it?"
Twilight hurriedly said: "Well, I confessed, that Ya Po got a girl and silver, and she must be obedient and sell the green frieze far away." ”
Ji Erlan knew in his heart that the hand of the green frieze was crippled, and only one face was still useful, so he would definitely be trafficked to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion. But she didn't feel guilty. Because everyone should bear their own destiny, and whatever cause is sown, what is reaped is what is reaped. Lu Lin suddenly gave Ji Tianjiao this idea, if she thought about it herself, it would be fine. If there is someone behind it, I am afraid that it will not be easy to give up. ”
Twilight exclaimed, "Could it be Miss Yan?" She has already torn her face with the girl, and I'm afraid she won't hide it anymore. ”
Ji Erlan frowned and shook his head: "Who knows if someone is taking advantage of this to fish in troubled waters?" I'm not sure who it is at this point. ”
The lotus hairpin is indeed the key to finding out her life experience, but she has already decided in her heart what she wants to do in this life, and she doesn't care too much, maybe in her spare time, she will also be curious about who her biological parents are and why they left her, but she is just a little curious. But now it seems that if others learn her true identity first, she will become very passive. "It seems that I have to carefully check the origin of the lotus hairpin."
Several girls glanced at each other, and Yuexi asked, "The girl wants to check her life experience?" ”
Ji Erlan smiled bitterly: "The plan has not changed quickly, and I didn't plan to pay attention to it originally." Twilight, you go and get the lotus hairpin. ”
Twilight Rain moved neatly, and quickly picked up the wooden box containing the lotus hairpin, and said: "Last night, fortunately, Xiaochun's girl was clever and secretly went to report to his wife, otherwise, the lotus hairpin would have fallen into the hands of others now." ”
Ji Erlan nodded and said, "The reward is rewarded, and the moon silver of the next month will be doubled." Koharu changed his name to Twilight Spring and raised it to the second class. ”
"Yes. The slave thanked the girl for the reward. Twilight thanked herself with a smile and called Twilight to kowtow to Ji Erlan.
The empty mountain and small buildings are harmonious, but Lan Ruoge is gloomy and bleak.
Ji Tianjiao was grounded for a month, and she was riddled with cold, and her face was as bad as a female ghost.
Ji Rujun was talking to her in her room, but she was slowly tracing something in her hands. After a while, she put down the pen, dried the ink, looked at the ingenious hairpin on the rice paper, and said in a surprised tone: "At that time, the second sister sent the lotus hairpin to the eldest sister, and I also looked at it a few times, at that time, I only felt that this hairpin was exquisite and abnormal, but I didn't know its preciousness. ”
"Thousand-year blood jade?" Ji Tianjiao coughed and snorted coldly: "What nonsense? A hundred-year-old blood jade is already rare, where does the thousand-year-old blood jade come from? I think it's just red jade, red jade and the like. ”
"My sister is right, hundred-year-old blood jade is indeed rare and rare. This jade is different from other jade jade, it is a jade with a trace of red veins in white jade, it is an extremely rare treasure in jade, a piece of high-quality blood jade may have to be precipitated in the earth's veins for hundreds of years to form, such a precious thing, it is indeed easy to see. ”
Ji Rujun's eyebrows became more and more exquisite, and her voice was still a little immature, she took the painting in her hand to Ji Tianjiao's eyes, handed it to her, and said: "At first, I thought it was just a red jadeite or something, because the red lotus petals, at a glance, seem to be a little impure enough." But in retrospect, it doesn't seem to be. ”
Ji Tianjiao frowned and looked at the hairpin in the painting, and also tried her best to recall the details of the lotus hairpin: "It seems that those red threads converged and encroached on all the white, and only a little bit remained, so it was carved into a dewdrop......
"Sister remembered?" Ji Rujun pointed to the painting and said: "A hundred years of blood jade, I have seen it on Song Yuning's body, it is a small pendant, although the red veins are also thick, but it is far worse than the hairpin of the second sister......"
"Why could she have such a thing?" Ji Tianjiao gritted her teeth angrily, dizzy for a while, Ru'er hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and hurriedly persuaded: "Girl, it's important that you recover from your illness first, let's talk about these things later." ”
Ji Tianjiao slowed down, and impatiently waved Ru'er away, her mind was still on the lotus hairpin: "I heard that blood jade is spiritual, could it be that Ji Erlan's illness really depends on this hairpin?" ”
"My sister doesn't know...... However, if the second sister really has a different background, then who will she be? Ji Rujun's eyes flashed, and several thoughts had already passed through her heart.
Mu Xiang pursed her lips and stood quietly aside, listening to the two sisters guess Ji Erlan's life experience. Although she was also curious, she was unwilling to participate in the grievances of the Ji family sisters after all, lest she end up like a green frieze in the future. She thought of the unlucky ghost who saw the wind and made the rudder steal and slip, and she couldn't help but sneer secretly in her heart.
At this time, in a dark and dilapidated wooden house, the green frieze was tied hands and feet, and two hemp cores were stuffed in his mouth, and he could only make a muffled hum. The hatred in her eyes had reached the extreme, but because she couldn't speak, it turned into tears of grief and anger flowing wildly down her dirty cheeks.
The crumbling wooden door creaked open. A fat woman came in with a lantern, dressed in a dark brown blouse, and the flesh on her face trembled slightly as she walked. When the green frieze saw her, she trembled all over, and she didn't dare to make a snort.
The fat woman squatted down with great difficulty, pinched the sharp chin of the green frieze with the tips of her calloused fingers, stared at her with a fierce face, and sneered: "Cheap hoof, if it weren't for the fact that you still have a lovely face, you can sell it for a good price, and the old lady will break your leg now!" Throw it into the mountains and feed the wolves! Hmph, if you dare to think about running away again, you can be careful that you can't eat and walk around! ”
The green frieze looked at the woman in horror, her eyes full of despair.
Seeing her with such a look, the other party knew that she was scared, and smiled proudly, but he couldn't catch off the loud noise from the door panel behind him.
