"I think she is a wicked person. Otherwise, mother, why did she look like a different person after she came back from Qingcheng Mountain. Qingcheng Mountain can turn fools into smart people, and those nuns and monks are all fairies? Could she be blamed by some fox spirit? Now, come to our house and suffer a disaster."
Jiang Youyao's unintentional words made Ji Shuran really think deeply.
In fact, she didn't doubt Jiang Li for a day or two. When Ji Shuran came in, he could tell that Jiang Li was a fool. Ye Zhenzhen died early and no one taught her something. After Ji Shuran passed the door, Jiang Li was convinced.
Jiang Li has an impulsive temperament, and everything is beyond his head. It was nothing to raise such a person in the mansion, but then Ji Shuran looked at Zhou Yanbang's marriage and wanted to make way for Jiang Youyao, but by this time, Ji Shuran also thought about how to destroy Jiang Li.
Who knew that Jiang Li might have known the secret, which made Ji Shuran anxious. She did not hesitate to use that piece of meat in her belly just to make Jiang Yuanbo disgusted with Jiang Li and refused to believe what Jiang Li said.
Jiang Yuanbai did indeed. He sent Jiang Li to Mount Qingcheng. For eight years, the entire Jiang family has ignored Jiang Li and left her to fend for herself on Qingcheng Mountain. Ji Shuran was surprised that Jiang Li's life was tenacious, and even survived under such circumstances. But as the marriage between Jiang Youyao and Zhou Yanbang approached, she was afraid that Jiang Yuanbai would think of this daughter, so she secretly sent someone to move her hands and feet.
The person who reported back said that Jiang Li was thrown into the lake, and no one else could tell that he moved his hands and feet. He is dying now, and he will not survive this summer. Ji Shuran was relieved now, but after a while, Jiang Li walked through the ghost gate and returned alive. Not only that, when Helin Temple realized the love affairs of Jing'an Master and Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Chengdelang suddenly went, and Emperor Hong Xiao personally beat Jiang Yuanbai...one by one, the unexpectedness of coming and disrupted all her plans. , Jiang Li entered Beijing in such a safe way.
From that moment on, everything began to be out of control. She robbed Jiang Youyao of the limelight in the verification field. Zhou Yanbang was suddenly with Jiang Yu'e. The young master of the Ye family became an official inexplicably, and now the entire Yanjing city praised... Jiang Li is like a different person, at the age of fifteen. In front of her girl, Ji Shuran couldn't get any benefit, and she often suffered.
This is not because she has become stupid, but Jiang Li has become smarter. She became cunning and scheming, but her face was still gentle. Whenever she saw her eyes, Ji Shuran felt cold all over her body.
How could there be such a girl who can pretend
In addition to complaining about Jiang Youyao, Ji Shuran also needs her own consideration. After Jiang Li returned to Yanjing City, he never mentioned the incident. Ji Shuran thought, maybe Jiang Li didn't hear her at all. But... She can't afford this risk, that secret seems to be dangerous to her at any time, and she can't take any risks. Jiang Li is becoming more and more difficult to deal with now. If she is not removed as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult if she wants to do it again in the future.
Jiang Youyao's words reminded Ji Shuran.
Jiang Li's temperament changed drastically after returning from Qingcheng Mountain, and she was still proficient in everything. She took care of that Tongxiang County Cheng Xue Huaiyuan so carefully, there must be an internal relationship between the two. It doesn't matter if you can't find it out, as long as you point out the suspicious points on her, Jiang Li won't think about being safe.
But what she wants to do, how to achieve the best goal, still has to do what she thinks.
"I have to go into the palace." Ji Shuran stood up.
"What are you doing in the palace?" Jiang Youyao asked.
Ji Shuran smiled: "Of course it was to see your aunt, Empress Li."
Regarding the matter of killing people without seeing blood, Libi has always been one of the best. If you want to plan, you have to ask Libing for help.
…
In the palace, Li Bin was sitting in the hall watching people play the piano.
Sitting across from her was the female gentleman from Mingyitang, and now the first female luthier in Yanjing City, Xiao Deyin.
Although Xiao Deyin refused to enter the palace, he had a good relationship with Li Bin, and occasionally came to the palace to chat with Li Bin. It was for this reason that even though Xiao Deyin was not a piano master, people in the palace would treat her respectfully. There is a plus.
After playing a song, Li Bin stroked her palms and smiled and said, "I have come to me today, why don't you go to your Royal Highness?"
Princess Yongning also liked the sound of Xiao Deyin's piano, and she invited Xiao Deyin to play at the mansion from time to time.
"His Royal Highness is feeling upset these few days, it's better not to disturb." Xiao Deyin laughed.
Libi heard the words and asked, "But because of the Xue family case?"
Xiao Deyin nodded: "Exactly."
Libi sighed: "Yongning also suffered a disaster. Well, how could the Xue family's case involve her? Now that there are rumors outside, she has to worry about it."
Xiao Deyin said: "Indeed, Ms. Jiang Er did too much this time. Originally, the Xue family's case was complicated and there was no evidence, but Princess Yongning was also pulled into the muddy water. Ms. Yu Jiang Er just said a word. As far as Princess Yongning is concerned, she has a mouthful and can't tell."
"Yes," Libi sighed: "I heard that Miss Jiang Er was talking about Xue Huaiyuan's relatives when she was at the court meeting. When talking about Xue Fangfei, Master Shelang Shen was also present, which seemed very embarrassing."
When talking about the three characters "Xue Fangfei", Xiao Deyin's expression was unnatural for a moment.
Fortunately, Li Bi did not continue the conversation, but said: "That Ms. Jiang Er is also very good, not to mention this time, it was the school exam at the time, and it was also in the limelight. Her piano sound, you also heard It’s pretty good."
Now, Xiao Deyin's face is even more ugly. You know, after the initial verification, many people gave Jiang Li’s "Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji" to her. If it weren’t for her and Jiang Li not to be in the same scene, I’m afraid Many people will say that Jiang Li compares her to her. And even if they didn't say that, everyone else said that the future first violinist in Yanjing is none other than Jiang Li.
Xiao Deyin was very unconvinced, but he had to admit that Jiang Li's attainments in piano art, I'm afraid she still can't catch up. So she was also very afraid, if Jiang Li wanted to play on any occasion, how long could she hold on to the title of first luthier.
Libi didn't know if she saw Xiao Deyin's face, she took a sip from the teacup on the table. At this moment, the palace man came in and said: "Niang Niang, Madam Jiang is here."
Xiao Deyin hurriedly got up: "So, I won't bother Libi, and Deyin will retire."
Libi didn't keep her, and said: "If that's the case, let's talk another day. Hong Zhu, send it to Mr. Xiao."
Hong Zhu sent Xiao Deyin away, and Lv Wu asked, "Why did the empress bring up Miss Jiang Er playing the piano in the verification field? The servant girl looked at Mr. Xiao's face, it was really not pretty."
"Just to make her feel unhappy." The smile on Libi's face gradually disappeared, and he said: "Xiao Deyin is the most competitive person, and his reputation is more important than anything else. Jiang Li is so difficult, there is one more Xiao Deyin. My sister is also better to deal with her. However," she sighed, "Shu Ran should have no choice but to come to me for help. I don't know what happened."
Ji Shuran came in.
She came in, first saluted respectfully, collapsed on her seat, and Li Yan asked the maid to help her up.
"Sanmei," Libi said, "Why are you here?"
Ji Shuran looked at her sister, and compared with herself, Li Bi was younger. It's not that Ji Shuran is not beautiful enough, but that even though Li Bi is older than her, in her expression, she always has a bit of girlish charm. This made her look no different from the other young women in the harem, and even more amorous.
Among the three sisters of Ji's family, the best-looking one is Libing, and Chen Ji's has the strongest temperament. She is left, but she is much loved because of the name of a younger sister. Ji Shuran and Chen Ji's are closer, but for this eldest sister, they admire the most. Among other things, at their age, Li Bing can still dominate the favor of Emperor Hong Xiao in the palace.
Ji Yanlin decided to send this eldest daughter into the palace since he was a child, so no matter what he eats at home, the best part is always close to Libi. Ji Shuran was ignorant when she was a child, so she always complained about Ji Yanlin's partiality. It was not until she got older that Li Yan became the Ji family's support in the palace, and she slowly recalled.
Especially now, she needs help everywhere, so she feels that Ji Chen can't fully help, and she has to ask this eldest sister of Qiqiao Linglongxin for help.
"Sister," Ji Shuran didn't call her a mother, but called her like an ordinary sister. She said: "What's the situation in my house now, you have seen it. Jiang Li is getting harder to control this girl. I have to find a way. Get rid of her."
Libi heard this and shook her head and said, "I saw it at the palace banquet last time. At that time, I thought Jiang Li was a difficult person to deal with. Little girl, you have been soaked in the back house for so many years, how can you let her grow up like this? To the point. If I were to do it, I would never wait until now. Now that this girl is getting more wings, it is not so easy to get rid of her."
"It's not that I never thought about getting rid of her, it's just that the incident happened suddenly," Ji Shuran said: "Master sent her to Qingcheng Mountain. I think she is just a little girl, and she won't be able to grow into any climate. When she gets older, find someone Sending it out can pave the way for Bingji. Who knows that Jiang Li's temperament has changed drastically after returning, so cunning, even I can't handle it."
Li Yan looked at her and said, "You are looking for me now, just because you want me to help you get rid of her. Not to mention that I am in the palace and I have eyes staring everywhere. Once I help you, I will provoke myself. Trouble. And now that the Xue family case has just passed, if Jiang Li follows this time, your majesty will definitely ask the government to investigate. It is not a wise move if you want to do it."
"Sister misunderstood me." Ji Shuran said: "I naturally know that Jiang Li can't be life-threatening at this time, but if it's a family matter, others shouldn't care about it."
Libi asked: "What do you want?"
"My sister is in the palace, she should know a lot of experts. I think Jiang Li has been suspicious everywhere since she returned to the city of Yanjing. There is no husband in Qingcheng Mountain, how did she learn a skill? And sometimes I think … I think she seems to be a different person, and she has no trace of the past. You have also heard about the Tongxiang case. Before Jiang Li took Xue Huaiyuan to Jiang’s mansion and took care of everything. Now, it’s still daily. I have to visit Xue Huaiyuan at Ye's house. That posture is more like a father and daughter than our master. Some people in the house say that Jiang Li is evil. Qingcheng Mountain is on the mountain, and there are many charming foxes on the mountain. Isn’t she right? It became very strange to be possessed by something... I want my sister to help me find someone, preferably a well-known expert, to come to our house to drive away evil spirits..."
Everyone is smart, tacit to each other, don't need to say very clear, especially their own sisters, it makes sense.
Libi already understood, she smiled slightly: "You are also a way, but if you don't do it better, I'm afraid it will be unbelievable."
"It's true," Ji Shuran said: "So this expert is very important." What the "superior" said must be convincing, preferably a person of prestige.
"I see," Libi said: "I will arrange this. But my sister, you must succeed in doing this. Now in the harem, there are not a few people staring at my position, if you Failed, get me involved..."
"No." Ji Shuran's heart shuddered. If Li-嫔 is really involved, let alone Li-嫔, even Ji Yanlin can't spare herself. Thinking of this, she looked at Libi’s lower abdomen again: "Actually... As long as the sister is pregnant with a dragon, a mere ginger pear is nothing. The master wants to protect her, but he can’t protect her, as well as You Yao, You don’t have to be so entangled about the relationship either."
"Why don't I want to?" Libi sighed, "I have used all methods, but I can't get pregnant. This is probably fate."
Ji Shuran didn't dare to say more for fear of touching Libing's sadness. However, she was very happy after receiving Libing's promise, and after discussing the family affairs with Libing, she quit.
After Ji Shuran left, Li Yan said to the court lady Hongzhu, "Go get my post, please come here."
Hongzhu took the lead, and Lu Wu said, "Is the mother really going to ask Chongxu Daochang?"
"Of course," Libi sighed, "Although my sister is confused, there is one thing that feels the same as mine." Her eyes dimmed: "Jiang Li, you can't stay."
…
In Jiang Mansion, Jiang Li has just returned from visiting Xue Huaiyuan from the Ye family.
As soon as he entered the yard, Qingfeng and Mingyue couldn't wait to greet them, and when they arrived in the back room, Qingfeng said: "Girl, after you have gone, Ji will enter the palace soon."
"Into the palace?" Jiang Li sat down and wondered: "What did she do in the palace?"
"The servant girl secretly bought the servant girl from Shu Xiuyuan, and I heard that she went to the palace to see the lady of the lady."
When Tonger heard the words, she was shocked and looked at Jiang Li: "Girl, Ji's suddenly saw Libi, is it because of you?"
"That's right," Mingyue followed and nodded: "The slave and maid also thought so. After you returned to the mansion, the Ji clan had been calm and conspiracy. Now, when I see the lady of Limei, it’s not that she wants her. Sit down, what crooked tricks are you thinking about."
Qingfeng Mingyue two good servants, staying with Tong'er for a long time, almost will be swayed by Tong'er, speaking in private but not at all polite. Jiang Li smiled and said, "It's okay, they can't help me either."
"I'm afraid they will make insidious tricks." Tonger said with a serious face.
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Li thought of the small porcelain whistle in her sleeve, and she now had one more bargaining chip. When Ji Heng said that he could blow the whistle when something happened, the people he arranged in Jiang's Mansion would appear. This person is considered to be temporarily lent to him by Ji Heng, she should have the final say how to use it.
Maybe it was because I thought that I had one more person who could use it casually, maybe it was because I was happy when I saw Xue Huaiyuan and Jiang Li just now, and I couldn't help the smile on his face.
Tonger looked at Jiang Li weirdly, wondering why she knew that Ji Shuran was already planning things secretly. How could Jiang Li not be vigilant, so happy
"By the way, Ningyuan Houfu also posted a post." Mingyue took out a post from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Li.
"Ningyuan Hou Mansion?" Bai Xue was surprised, "Ningyuan Hou Shizi has already made a marriage appointment, so I will post to the girl?"
"It's not Zhou Shizi," Qingfeng said, "It's a post from Miss Wu."
"Jiang Yu'e?" Jiang Li opened the post and paused, and looked down, the post was really made by Jiang Yu'e. The above only said that he hadn't seen Jiang Li for a long time, and invited Jiang Li to the Zhou family gathering.
Jiang Li only glanced at it and threw the post aside.
"Girl?" Tonger was puzzled.
"I don't know what she is thinking, I really don't have the intention to deal with her." Jiang Li said. Jiang Yu'e's post almost didn't write the words "come badly" on it. In Jiang's Mansion, she and Jiang Yu'e were not dealing with each other, and Jiang Yu'e was on Jiang Youyao's side. Later, because of the palace banquet, Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Youyao fell out, and Jiang Yu'e broke up because of this, but even so, it does not mean that Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Li's relationship reconciled.
Moreover, Jiang Li believes that a person's temperament will not change in a short period of time. Jiang Yu'e's tone of words in this post is very gentle, as if a person has changed. If Qingfengmingyue hadn't taken it out, Jiang Li would definitely suspect that this post was not written by Jiang Yu'e at all.
Jiang Yu'e was so humbled, just to let herself go to the Zhou family gathering, Jiang Li didn't think so. Then Zhou Yanbang later figured out that she might not be reconciled when she calculated him at the palace banquet. She was afraid that she wanted to make something happen through Jiang Yu'e's hand. She didn't have the time to sing with them.
"Just leave it alone?" Tong'er asked: "The slave and maid should burn it, or save it? The girl has to reply and refuse."
Jiang Li thought for a while, and said, "Don't throw it away, find a way to fall down on the road where Jiang Youyao's maid passed by, and let Jiang Youyao take a look."
"Why is this?" Bai Xue puzzled, "Isn't she even more angry when you see Miss San?"
"Yeah, she has a bad brain, and when she gets angry she makes outrageous things. I think that if she is making trouble, Ji Shuran is always busy dealing with her, so she has no time to deal with me and wait for a few days. Even if it is not dealt with for the time being I, let me figure out what they want to do, don't fight an unprepared battle, isn't it more exciting to fight this battle if you are prepared?"
Several maids put together and thought it was feasible, so they discussed how to bring this post to Jiang Youyao naturally.
Jiang Li sent them out, saying that they were going to read, but when he sat at the desk, he touched the silver whistle in his sleeve.
Yin Whistle was cold, it was hard to believe that Ji Heng's people were still hidden in this mansion. Jiang Li thought for a while, then put it back.
It's not safe now. When it gets late, she has to try it out first.
…
At night, the entire Jiang Mansion fell into silence.
Jiang Li asked Tong'er and Bai Xue to go to bed, and said that she would have to read a book for a while. After the two maids left, Jiang Li stood at the window, took out the whistle from his sleeve, and blew it softly.
She didn't know if Ji Heng's people would hear it, and in what face he would appear. She had to try first, Jiang Li stood quietly and waited patiently.
After a while, under the tree in front of the window, someone suddenly flashed, and it seemed that someone was standing under the window.
Jiang Li whispered: "Come in."
At the next moment, the man quietly jumped in from the window and stopped in front of Jiang Li.
Jiang Li closed the window and looked back. When he saw the person's face clearly, he couldn't help but stayed for a while. This person is not someone else, but the gardener of Jiang's family. Chengri helps with the garden in the house. Jiang Li can't remember his name, but he knows that there is such a person. It is said that this person was invited back by Ji Shuran at a high price, and he is a good handyman for flowers and plants.
He is not even very old, he seems to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is immature and handsome. I heard that the skill of serving flowers and plants is very rare. It was Ji Shuran's favorite orchid that was about to die, and this person saved it. .
Jiang Li thought it was weird at first, but he didn't expect this person to hide in Jiang's house with such an identity, but after another thought, he felt that it seemed very natural. You must know that Ji Heng loves flower viewing. The mansion collects exotic flowers and weeds in the world. Everyone in his mansion grows flowers, and everyone is pretty. This person is both good at planting flowers and handsome, and he is indeed a person from Ji Heng's mansion. It's just that no one thought that Ji Heng's people were so courageous that they would dare to be a gardener in Jiang's Mansion blatantly.
"What's your name?" Jiang Li asked.
"Subordinate Zhao Ke." The gardener said.
"Zhao Ke," Jiang Li groaned, "How long have you been to Jiang Mansion?"
Zhao Ke didn't expect Jiang Li to ask this question. He glanced at Jiang Li and didn't answer. Jiang Li said: "Since your master told me of your existence, for the time being, you and me should not be hostile to you. I think Ji Heng also knows that I will ask you this question. Since he did not refute, he just acquiesced. Just say, I. I promise that he won't punish you for this."
Zhao Ke also followed Ji Heng since he was a child. Jiang Li took a mouthful of "Ji Heng" and called Ji Heng by his name, which made Zhao Ke very surprised. He didn't know whether Jiang Li was too courageous, or the relationship between Jiang Li and Ji Heng was closer than he thought. In short, Zhao Ke hesitated for a while, still said: "Seven years ago."
Seven years ago, Jiang Li had already left the Jiang family at that time. At that time, Ji Heng was only fourteen years old. He actually let people lurk in Jiang’s family. But for so many years, Jiang’s family has not fallen. It seems that he sent People in Jiang's family are not trying to destroy Jiang's family.
"What do you do on weekdays?" Jiang Li asked.
"Working as a gardener in Jiang's family, if there is a major event, tell an adult, if there is no major event, care for flowers and plants." Zhao Ke replied.
He was very frank, but Jiang Li knew that it would end there. Zhao Ke wouldn't say anything deeper, maybe he didn't even know it.
Jiang Li nodded: "Do you know that Ji Shuran went into the palace to see Li Bie today?"
Zhao Ke nodded.
"What did she go to see Libi for? What did she do after returning home?" Jiang Li asked.
Zhao Ke said: "The subordinates did not follow up with the palace, and I don't know what Ji and Liyi are planning. But today I heard from Shu Xiuyuan maidservant that Jiang Youyao doubts you..." He hesitated for a while, and seemed to find it difficult to express his words. After a pause, he continued, "It was because of the possessed by the mountain spirits and wild monsters that his temperament changed drastically after returning from Qingcheng Mountain. After hearing this, the Ji family suddenly decided to go to the palace."
Jiang Li glanced at him: "You can hear about Shu Xiuyuan's affairs very clearly. Could it be that every action in my yard can't escape your eyes?"
Zhao Ke did not speak.
"I didn't mean to blame you." Jiang Li said: "I know this is your master's order, it has nothing to do with you. It doesn't matter, you can watch it if you want. I have probably guessed the cemetery where Ji's family entered the palace."
Zhao Ke looked at Jiang Li, guessed it so quickly? And Jiang Li had a firm attitude, without hesitation. It seems that Wen Ji is right. This Miss Jiang Er has a lot of ideas in her heart, and she is very courageous.
Jiang Li lowered his eyes, Ji's method was not unfamiliar. When she married Shen Yurong, she just arrived in Yanjing. When Shen Yurong was proud of the spring breeze, she went out to socialize as Mrs. Shen and heard many secret stories from the masters. It is very common for people who want to frame their favorite concubines and seek help from the Taoist Master.
Of course, Jiang Li is not an ordinary concubine. She is Jiang Yuanbai's daughter. It is not so easy for Ji Shuran to frame her. Ordinary Taoist Masters, I'm afraid they won't be convinced by others. That's why Ji Shuran thought of Libing. Libing was in the palace and had a lot of contacts. The expert that Libing found for Ji Shuran must have a reputation. His words can play an absolute role.
"Daoist Chongxu." Jiang Li said.
Zhao Ke raised his head and looked at Jiang Li in surprise.
"Three years ago, Li Bin was framed by her favored concubine using witchcraft in the palace, and her life was on the eve of the night. Fortunately, Daoist Chongxu appeared and saved Li Bin's life. Li Bin gradually improved. Li Bin wanted to pay a lot of money. Thank you to the Taoist leader, but the Taoist leader didn't take any money, and went wandering on his own, and never saw a trace."
Zhao Ke was puzzled, although these things are not secret secrets in the palace, but not everyone can know. What's more, Jiang Li was still in Qingcheng Mountain three years ago, how could he learn about these things. At that time, the queen mother thought that this kind of incident in the palace was a scandal and should not be publicized, so all the people in the palace were given a ban.
But Jiang Li still knew.
Jiang Li smiled slightly, she could see Zhao Ke's doubts, but she did know it. Shen Yurong told her about this later, and I don't know where Shen Yurong heard it from. But at that time he was already an official, and he was naturally able to come into contact with these secrets.
"Ji's family is looking for Libi, but he can't just use Libi's hand to find a master. No master is more suitable than this Chongxu Taoist master. I think," she said with a cold eye, "this one Shenlong sees the head of the Chongxu Daoist who has not seen the end, and he will soon reappear."
