Chapter 189: Return to the Palace
The three of them went back to the Jin Palace, but the clothes of the three of them were covered with the mud they had rubbed when they fled, and it seemed as if they had fled.
The housekeeper came out to greet them, and when he saw them like this, he couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "Lord and Princess, ...... What's wrong with you guys? ”
Xiao Jin didn't want to magnify the fact that they encountered the assassin, so he comforted the housekeeper: "Uncle Tong, there were muddy potholes on the way back, and I accidentally rubbed into it."
His smile and the tone of his voice made the butler reassure him that they were really just careless.
Ji Ketian and Xiao Jin returned to the courtyard, but as soon as they entered the courtyard, Ji Ketian noticed the change in Xiao Jin's face.
His face turned from ruddy just now to pale, and he froze in place, Ji Ketian immediately reached over to support him, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Jin shook his head and wanted to force himself to walk in, but he didn't take two steps before he fell down, but fortunately, Ji Ketian helped him.
Thinking of the day when the assassin had wounded him in the left shoulder, he didn't dare to be careless, so he called the maid and helped him back to the house.
"Qing'er, you go and get the medicine box immediately." After giving the maid an order, Ji Ketian turned around and made a gesture to uncover Xiao Jin's clothes, but Xiao Jin shrank his shoulders back.
He was afraid that Ji Ketian would see his wounds, so he dodged her eyes and said, "I'll come by myself, you can go out first."
His stubbornness made Ji Ketian angry, and after the maid took the medicine box and came over, she directly reached out and asked for it, and insisted on giving him medicine.
Xiao Jin didn't compromise and she was deadlocked, and he had no choice but to compromise and uncover his clothes, revealing his left shoulder.
The wound on his left shoulder was tied with a cloth, and it was obvious that he had hastily bandaged it that day, but the wound had not been treated and was now suppurated.
Ji Ketian found a medicine to treat sword wounds in the medicine box, and when he saw that the wound was so serious, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and took the medicine to remind him: "It may hurt, you can bear with it."
After speaking, he poured the medicine on it with gauze, and covered the medicine on the wound while Xiao Jin was gritting his teeth.
The contact between the medicine and the wound, Xiao Jin felt the pain, but he still endured it, and slowly it stopped hurting.
After the wound was treated, Ji Ketian slowly became suspicious of the inn assassin, so he sat next to Xiao Jin and said, "You say, could the assassin be so coincidental?"
Xiao Jin shook his head after hearing this, he thought it was impossible, after all, the inn they went to was in a remote location, and the distance they walked was also secret, who would come to assassinate them? Maybe it was those important ministers or princes in the court who wanted his life, but Xiao Jin was more inclined to be the ghost of this inn.
"As soon as I entered the inn, I felt that the atmosphere was wrong, there was no fireworks, it was cold, and people didn't want to go near it." Xiao Jin expressed his doubts.
This made Ji Ketian also begin to doubt the essence of the inn, could it be a black shop standing there? They don't know what to do.
But if it's a black shop, it's a hiding place! Ji Ketian felt that after this matter was exposed, it might alarm the entire Great Wei.
"I'm going to go back to the scene!" Ji Ketian immediately said such a thing, showing his determination.
But the matter was too dangerous, and she was a woman...... Xiao Jin immediately grabbed her hand and objected: "No!"
His reaction was too big, and Ji Ketian was frightened, and then he was puzzled and asked, "Why not?"
Xiao Jin's face darkened, although the inn looked problematic, but he would not let Ji Ketian go on an adventure, after all, they almost didn't come back this time, and if she went again this time, she would really die there.
But in the same way, Ji Ketian is still keen to take this risk, thinking that this matter is not small, and still thinking about going on this trip!
"I've already decided on this matter, you don't need to persuade me anymore." Ji Ketian was more determined than him this time, and while Xiao Jin was not paying attention, he stunned him with one palm.
Looking at Xiao Jin who fell in her arms, she carefully helped him to the bed, settled him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.
After getting this, she pretended that nothing had happened and walked out of the door, and the maid listened to the silence inside, and asked suspiciously, "Princess, what's wrong with the prince?"
In order to prevent the family from seeing Xiao Jin, who fainted, she immediately pretended to be calm and said, "Lord Wang, this is tired, sleep, don't bother."
The maids were not suspicious of her words, so they continued to guard the door, and Ji Ketian quickly slipped out of the yard at this time, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
Out of the Jin Palace, she thought she was free, but who expected that as soon as the corner lotus appeared in front of her, blocking her way.
I don't know where I got the lotus evil charm smiled and asked, "Princess, where are you going?" He hooked the corners of his mouth, as if he had seen through her.
Ji Ke was empty-hearted, but Nian Zai Lian and her were partners who shared weal and sorrow along the way, so he told him that he was going to go to that inn to adventure.
As soon as he heard that she was going to do such a dangerous thing, Lian Yan's face changed instantly after hearing this, and he had the same judgment as Xiao Jin: "This can't work, this is too dangerous."
He also wanted to stop Ji Ke tilting's action, but then she stood beside him and harassed him, and after some verbosity, she saw that Lian Yan agreed in a compromise.
Ji Ke was overjoyed, only to hear him slowly say his conditions: "This action is too dangerous, I have to follow you."
This is no problem, Ji Ketian regarded him as someone she trusted, so the moment he proposed it, she blurted out the answer.
The two of them then walked in the direction where they had fled, but after the two of them went to the inn, the goal was too obvious, and there would always be flaws.
Therefore, before going to the inn, Ji Ketian was ready to change into her women's clothes and pretend to be a man to enter the inn, which made those people feel unfamiliar.
Lian Yan supported her in disguising herself, and took a set of men's clothes from a clothing store in the city and gave her a set of clothes: "You can change into it, I'll wait for you outside."
When a woman dresses up, she looks like a beautiful woman, and a man looks even more handsome after dressing up, like a handsome son.
She walked out of the old queen lotus stunned, she is both men and women! Lian Yan opened his mouth and praised: "Yes, it suits you very well."
Ji Ketian also felt good, and he was still holding a fan and waving it there, looking high-spirited.
"Let's go." They set out again, this time in less than two or three hours at the inn's location.
When they entered the city, they saw only the inn that stood alone in the streets of the city, and they approached again with trepidation.
