247: A series of tricks (1) The impression Du Manqiu has given Zi Jin so far cannot be said to be very vicious, but she is not very good either. You say she is bad, but she is not unforgiving. You say she is not bad. There have been constant fights in the Hou family for so many years. She

There are definitely reasons that cannot be shied away from. If you say she is vicious, she does not know the true face of Master Jingjing. To sum up, Du Manqiu has always been a vague image to Zi Jin. Although she looks very real, in fact

Another layer of fog shrouded it.

As Du Manqiu's desire to see Mrs. Jinghaihou continued to advance, Zi Jin felt that this might be a breakthrough and a good opportunity to find Du Manqiu's true face.

After waiting for a long time, I heard Du Manqiu say: "I could have persisted in this matter to the end, but I didn't want to implicate Mr. Hou, so I could only wrong Brother Jin's wife and Brother Fan's wife."

Du Manqiu gave in!

Zi Jin half-squinted his eyes, Du Manqiu actually gave in. What was the reason that made Du Manqiu finally give in? Zi Jin couldn't figure it out for a moment.

At this time, Princess Shunyi put down the chess pieces in her hand and said boringly: "No more playing, it's really boring. Let's go out and talk."

Zi Jin burst into laughter and had to put away the chessboard. Princess Shunyi was indeed not a simple person.

Zi Jin was busy packing her things and did not see Princess Shunyi looking at her.

In fact, Princess Shunyi has been very curious about Yao Zijin, who is only a few years older than her, since she was very young. The reason for her curiosity is very simple. She has extremely delicate needlework and can also make exquisite, cute and distinctive stitches. That

At that time, she thought about how old you have to be to practice such a good craft by starting to pick up needle and thread?

She had always wanted to meet her and see Zijin's true face in Lushan, but there was no reason why she couldn't summon foreign ministers and their families casually. Her mother did not agree, so she had no choice but to suppress the idea. Later, Yao Zijin married his cousin.

, she thought that she could finally meet her, but she didn't know that she still couldn't. In a few days, it would be her mother's birthday, and she could finally see her this time. However, she overheard what her mother said to her aunt, and it turned out that Yao Zijin still couldn't enter.

She wanted to see her in the palace, so she stalked her aunt and sneaked out of the palace.

When I first saw Yao Zijin, I felt that she was really beautiful. Although she was also very beautiful, as a beauty, she was also very tolerant. I just looked at this cousin-in-law and thought she looked familiar. Then I tried hard to think,

Only then did I remember that she looked a bit like one of my father's former favorite concubines, but not exactly the same. Concubine Ning was too enchanting, but her cousin was very quiet, but the eldest girl next to Concubine Ning, named A Ruo, was the same.

The cousin's temperament was very similar, and her face was somewhat similar, especially her smile. She vaguely remembered that the eldest palace maid A Ruo loved to smile when she saw everyone.

It's just that I met Concubine Ning and A Ruo when I was a child, and I don't remember it very clearly. I just know that Concubine Ning was sentenced to death, and A Ruo also died. These two names are no longer allowed to be mentioned in the harem. If it weren't for

When she saw her cousin-in-law, she almost forgot that those two people had ever existed in the harem.

Princess Shunyi left with reluctance for Zi Jin. Even though she knew that Zi Jin would not enter the palace, she still asked with great hope: "Cousin, you must come on my mother's birthday."

Zi Jin's breath was stagnant, but she still smiled softly and said: "Okay, I naturally want to congratulate the Queen on her eternal happiness."

Princess Shunyi was confused again, why the queen mother didn't let her cousin-in-law enter the palace. Judging from her cousin-in-law's appearance, she didn't seem to know about this matter. Alas, things are really complicated for adults.

Mrs. Chu and Ms. Shen made amends with Princess Shunyi together, and then followed Du Manqiu. The eldest princess personally sent the person back. Only then did they feel tired and their feet were weak. This was the first time they saw their mother-in-law and Princess Lian acting like this.

A discordant scene.

Du Manqiu went back to Chengyuan directly, looking very bad. Shen's face turned pale and she staggered back to her yard. She needed to calm down her shock.

Zi Jin sent the eldest princess away and met Chu on the way back to Anyuan. The two stood opposite each other, and Chu was very haggard.

Zi Jin couldn't bear it in her heart, so she tried to persuade her: "Sister-in-law, what happened today was really unexpected. In fact, you are not to blame. You should also understand that who can fight against the Tian family? Fortunately, Princess Shunyi is not a unruly person and won't let her go.

This matter is now in the past.”

Mrs. Chu's face was filled with fear. She lowered her eyes and looked at Zi Jin. She laughed and said, "Third brother and sister, you are much more blessed than me. My mother-in-law has not been in a good temper recently. My second brother and I are cautious every day. In fact, this is nothing.

, it’s just that you are so much happier in comparison, it’s hard to avoid feeling a little envious.”

Zi Jin was shocked and smiled bitterly in her heart. If Mrs. Chu had known her situation, she probably wouldn't have said that. But Mrs. Chu took the initiative to mention Du Manqiu... Zi Jin pretended to be unintentional and said: "Xu is Xia Tiantian

The heat is a bit strong, sister-in-law, don’t worry about it, it will be fine in a few days.”

Mrs. Chu shook her head, turned around, walked slowly along the cobblestone road, and said to Zi Jin who was following her: "I think my mother-in-law has been in a lot of moods these past few days, and she is often lost in thought alone.

Sometimes I dig out some old things to look at, and sometimes my eyes get wet just looking at them.”

Zi Jin's heart trembled, "Old things? What old things?"

"It seems to be the items from before my mother-in-law got married. It can be seen that they are old and belong to women. The patterns on them are extremely exquisite, but they are not the handiwork of my mother-in-law. They seem to be commemorating someone." Mrs. Chu sighed and said casually.

The person who confided in Zi Jin had no idea how much of a shock the information she shared caused.

An old thing? It’s still a woman’s thing, and it’s from before she came out of the cabinet...

"Could it be that my mother gave me something in her handkerchief?" Zi Jin asked suspiciously.

Mrs. Chu shook her head, "I don't know either. It's rare to see my mother-in-law like this. She always feels weird."

Zi Jin only felt light-headed and light-headed. She took a dip in cold water last night and fell into the water today. She accompanied Chu to enjoy the breeze. The white sun made Zi Jin feel dizzy again. Listening to Chu's words

I wanted to respond, but rolled my eyes and fainted.

Before she fainted, Zi Jin was still thinking about how she had always wanted to find a way to get sick. Now that she was fine, Princess Shunyi came and she helped her unintentionally. There was no need to pretend, she was really sick!

Mrs. Chu was extremely anxious. Zi Jin fainted in front of her. Ye Mingxuan wouldn't beat her up when he came back. She was thinking while calling people. For a while, people came and went and became busy again...

As expected by Zi Jin and Ye Mingxuan, as soon as the news of Zi Jin's illness reached the palace, the imperial doctor arrived. In addition, it happened that Duke Shunyi and Zi Jin fell into the water, which made people not suspicious of Zi Jin's disguise.

As for the illness, the imperial doctor diagnosed him as indeed ill, so Zi Jin was spared from going to the palace to pay his respects.

A blessing in disguise, that's probably how Zi Jin feels now.

If you didn't face Ye Mingxuan's extremely ugly face!

Zi Jin reached out and tugged on Ye Mingxuan's sleeves, showing a flattering smile, "Don't be angry, it's really an accident, and God wants to help us. Otherwise, we will get sick ourselves, and with the emperor's suspicious temperament, we will probably retaliate."

You have to be a bit suspicious, but now that the matter of Princess Shunyi is covered up, it becomes more upright, killing two birds with one stone, isn't it?"

Ye Mingxuan was angry because of this. He was just angry at himself for always making Zi Jin suffer. He promised to protect her well, but in the end, she always got into accidents again and again. That feeling of powerlessness, even his heartbeat

They all feel very luxurious.

"Little girl, I always feel that I am useless. I fail to protect you and always get you hurt." Ye Mingxuan said in a low voice, with a sad look on his face.

It turned out to be because of this. Zi Jin chuckled and explained: "You don't have the ability to clone yourself, and you don't have three heads and six arms. What's more, this kind of thing is an accident. What is an accident? It is an unforeseen event that cannot be predicted and prevented. If you

So it’s really inappropriate to blame yourself.”

Ye Mingxuan looked at Zi Jin's still red face and said softly: "Get some more sleep. The imperial doctor said that as long as you don't have a high fever at night, there won't be any big problem. I'm here to watch over you."

Zi Jin nodded gently, closed his eyes slowly, and suddenly remembered something again, opened his eyes and asked, "Have you found Chen An? Is he okay?"

Ye Mingxuan looked at Zi Jin and said helplessly: "Just take good care of your health. You don't have to worry about so much. I'm here." After saying this, looking at Zi Jin's eyes that couldn't let go, he had to raise his hands in surrender and said slowly: "

Chen An was just a false alarm, nothing serious. Fortunately, this kid was smart. He followed him and felt something was wrong, so he retreated, thus saving his life. He did not trace the residence of the lady you mentioned. It’s just that

I found out that she went to the west of the city, where she kept wandering around in the alleys."

A clever person like Chen An can be discovered, which shows that this lady is definitely not that simple. Zi Jin couldn't help but frowned, looked at Ye Mingxuan and said: "I didn't expect that there is such a person in Kyoto. Fortunately, Chen An

There is nothing wrong with An. Now that Chen An has been discovered, going around the west side of the city is probably a cover-up to prevent us from finding out her true identity. This woman is quite clever."

Ye Mingxuan nodded and said: "I have asked my subordinates to visit separately, and asked Du Ruo to dictate and find a painter to draw the portrait. As long as there is such a person in Kyoto, I can dig it out even if it is three feet deep. You can rest assured to recover."

Zi Jin felt relieved after hearing Ye Mingxuan's words. He remembered something again and looked at him and said, "I have one more thing to tell you. You can help me do it. This time no matter what, I must find out the root cause."

Seeing Zi Jin's cautious expression, Ye Mingxuan was slightly stunned. Could something else have happened? So he asked, "Just say what you want me to do for you. I will definitely do it beautifully for you!"
