Chapter 18: The Masked Man Enters the Boudoir Alone
Ji Shaotian discussed the details of tomorrow's banquet with Xu Lihua, and returned to the Orchid Garden after dinner in Xu Lihua's courtyard.
She watered the moonflower grass in the room, washed up, and went to bed.
She didn't leave the house for a day today, and she didn't fall asleep thinking of the masked man who kidnapped her to detoxify.
That person can let her go back to the house, presumably the guards of the military palace will not be able to stop him.
In the second half of the night, there was still no movement in her courtyard, she was very sleepy, yawned, and thought that maybe she had overestimated the person, and when she was about to fall asleep, there was a soft sound in the courtyard.
She came to her senses in an instant and rolled over and got out of bed.
To avoid trouble, she didn't keep a vigil for the bunny tonight.
Therefore, the moment the man in black appeared in the room, Ji Shaotian felt it, and very calmly took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp in the room.
"What if the person who comes is an assassin and not me?" Seeing her so calm, Yu Chi Beichuan couldn't help but ask.
Ji Shaotian glanced at him with a smile, as if to say, even if it is an assassin, I am not afraid.
She stole most of the medicinal materials in the Qi Palace, but they were not for decoration. In this ancient martial arts world, if you don't have internal strength, then you can get more poison.
After returning home last night, she secretly refined some poison.
Therefore, no matter who comes today, she is not afraid.
"You're bold." Yu Chi Beichuan came to the table and sat down: "Aren't you afraid to wait for me to detoxify and kill you?" ”
"You won't." Ji Shaotian sat down opposite Wei Chi Beichuan and stretched out his hand to check his pulse.
He asked curiously, "Why?" ”
"Intuition." Ji Shaotian replied briefly with two words, and then withdrew his hand from his wrist: "Your poison has been solved by half, and you don't have to come to me again after today's acupuncture." ”
She turned around to get the needle bag, and Yu Chi Beichuan unbuttoned his shirt by himself and went to the soft couch by the window to lie down.
Next, Ji Shaotian didn't speak again, she gave him acupuncture seriously, and when the acupuncture was completed, she sterilized the silver needles while giving an eviction order.
"You're good to go!"
Yu Chi Beichuan had no intention of leaving, he slowly arranged his clothes, sat on the soft couch, and did not move.
"Miss Ji, if you are familiar with medical science, you should know that my body is not obsidian poison. You can actually cure the poison of obsidian, but what about the other poison? ”
Ji Shaotian turned to look at Yu Chi Beichuan and said very indifferently: "No." ”
"No, or don't you want to?" Yu Chi Beichuan asked.
He guessed that it was the latter, after all, he coerced her to detoxify first, and it was normal for her not to want to detoxify him.
Ji Shaotian put his hands around his chest, and did not speak with an indifferent face.
Yu Chi Beichuan got up and walked towards Ji Shaotian, he was very tall, almost a shoulder higher than Ji Shaotian, standing in front of her like a mountain, covering her whole person in shadows.
"I don't want to coerce you a second time, Miss Ji." He sighed.
Ji Shaotian raised his eyebrows: "The first time, you caught me while I was unprepared." Do you think I'll give you a second chance? ”
Wei Chi Beichuan didn't say anything, as if he was weighing whether to coerce Ji Shaotian to relieve him of cold poison.
"If you want to die faster, give it a try." Ji Shaotian said coldly.
Yu Chi Beichuan didn't get close to Ji Shaotian again, he stood opposite her and said in a low voice, "Miss Ji, we will meet again." Hopefully, the next time we meet, you'll change your mind. ”
With that, he flew out of the window and quickly disappeared into the night.
Ji Shao leaned forward and locked the window, and saw that the disappeared man in black had returned. She raised an eyebrow slightly, and then she heard him say, "That's right." A word of caution, there are two groups of people guarding outside your yard, both hiding in the shadows. ”
This time, the Masked Man is really gone.
Ji Shaotian guessed that one of them was the person who was arranged by the General's Mansion to protect her. As for the other group of people, she thought it was Wei Chiqi's people.
Yu Chiqi sent someone to spy on her?
Why?
In the past, he was not seen to send someone to spy on the original owner. But suddenly sent someone to spy on her? Is it because of the General's Palace?
Afraid she'll mess up his business?
For a while, Ji Shaotian didn't have a clue, she closed the window, went back to the house to blow out the oil lamp, and went to bed.
If she wants to see the original owner's family tomorrow, she has to have a snack and can't show her flaws.
Before the sky was fully lit the next day, Ji Shaotian got up and freshened up.
She promised Xu Lihua yesterday to help her deal with the guests who came today.
Xu Lihua actually knew that for so many years, Bo Yihou's stepwife did not take Ji Shaotian to a large banquet, and she would not deal with distinguished guests at all.
Today, she took Ji Shaotian with her, and she also had plans to let her learn how to behave in the world and meet friends.
Ji Shaotian packed up and went to Xu Lihua's yard early, the two had breakfast together, and went to Wang Xiao to say goodbye together, and then went to the front yard.
At that time, guests began to arrive one after another.
In front of the gate of the general's mansion, there were intermittent carriages stopped, and well-dressed dignitaries got down from the carriages, and then were welcomed into the mansion by the palace steward.
Although Ji Shaotian is a princess, she is not respected.
So when she appeared next to Xu Lihua, the ladies stepped forward to salute or greet Xu Lihua, and when their eyes turned to Ji Shaotian, they were all stunned and forgot to react for a while.
Someone recognized Ji Shaotian's iconic pockmarked face, and after reacting, they would salute Ji Shaotian for the sake of Xu Lihua's face.
Even if someone recognized Ji Shaotian, they pretended not to know him, and after a few words of greeting Xu Lihua, they directly ignored Ji Shaotian and walked away.
At this time, Liu Yan walked over with Yahuan.
"Liu Yan has seen my sister." She saluted Ji Shaotian obediently and sensibly, and looked at Xu Lihua again and called, "I've seen the young lady." ”
"Concubine Liu is polite, please come into the courtyard and sit down." Xu Lihua said politely.
Liu Yan nodded at Xu Lihua, then stepped forward and held Ji Shaotian's hand affectionately: "Sister, it's the first time I've come to the General's Mansion, and I'm not familiar with it. Why don't you take me into the courtyard and sit down? ”
Liu Yan was still wearing a veil, and the whiplash wound on her face had already formed a scar, but she couldn't fade the scar, and now she left a red scar, which was very ugly.
She didn't want to come to the banquet today, but Wei Chiqi asked her to come, and she had to attend.
Ji Shao ruined her face, she must avenge this revenge, today is a good opportunity.
Thinking of this, the corners of her lips under the veil were slightly hooked, revealing a grim smile.
But when Ji Shaotian looked over, she changed into a well-behaved and sensible appearance, not to mention how harmless.
In front of so many people, her request was not excessive. No matter how Ji Shaotian chooses, he will fall for her plan.
"Okay!" Ji Shaotian glanced at Liu Yan and responded with a smile.
The two were about to leave, when Liu Yan suddenly pointed to the door and exclaimed, "Sister, look, your mother and sister are here!" ”
