Looking closely at Xiao Yichen, his facial features are very three-dimensional. The thick eyebrows, high nose, and beautiful lip shape all show nobility and elegance. His own face is reflected in his dark eyes.
Ji Lingxue blinked, pointed in the direction of the door and said to Xiao Yichen: "My Lord, your concubine is here to see you, do you think I should avoid her?"
The corner of Xiao Yichen's mouth twitched, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you avoiding it?" Wouldn't the normal plot be that Ji Lingxue would rush out to show off how favored she was by the master last night, and drive away those jealous concubines
Ji Lingxue blinked and said, “Prince, I am very generous. Yuqing is my sister after all, and I can’t let her be too sad, right?”
Xiao Yichen leaned close to Ji Lingxue and blew into her ear, "You are the princess, there is no need to avoid her."
Ji Lingxue's ears felt itchy, so she pushed Xiao Yichen and got up. Before she took two steps, she paused and turned uncontrollably. It turned out that Xiao Yichen was pulling her belt. Ji Lingxue pulled the belt that was about to be torn off and glared at Xiao Yichen.
"Let go!" Ji Lingxue said angrily. He wanted her to get rid of Ji Yuqing who was trying to please her. She was unhappy, which was not as good as his plan.
Xiao Yichen twirled the belt with his fingers and said threateningly, "Come to me." If you, the protagonist, run away, there will be no good show.
Seeing that Xiao Yichen would not let go, Ji Lingxue turned around and said, imitating Xiao Yichen's tone of voice, "Qing'er is here, come in quickly."
Xiao Yichen was so upset. What was going on
Ji Lingxue pulled the belt from Xiao Yichen's hand, bent her body, lifted the tablecloth and got in.
The corners of Xiao Yichen's mouth twitched slightly, and he cursed in his heart: Ji Lingxue, are you a rat
The door creaked open, and Ji Yuqing, holding ginseng soup, walked in with a smile on her face. She saw Xiao Yichen, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with disheveled clothes and half of his chest exposed, and her cheeks blushed slightly, "Your Majesty, I'm here."
Xiao Yichen hummed with a dark face and stared towards the table, which made Ji Yuqing look puzzled. "Prince, what's wrong with you?" He looked so bad so early in the morning. Did something big happen
Xiao Yichen retracted his gaze, coughed, clenched his fist and put it to his lips, sighing: "Um... just now a mouse flashed past the bed."
"Old... rat?!" Ji Yuqing's face changed. She was most afraid of rats. Her scalp was tingling and she looked around in panic. She threw away the ginseng tea in her hand and jumped into Xiao Yichen's arms, hugging his neck.
Ji Lingxue looked at Xiao Yichen pitifully, "My Lord, I am most afraid of mice, hurry... drive it away."
Ji Lingxue lifted the tablecloth and looked in the direction of Xiao Yichen, pouting. It must be so relaxing to have a beauty in your arms!
Xiao Yichen said hurriedly: "The mouse has already run away."
Ji Yuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and sighed, "The ginseng tea that I carefully prepared for the prince... that is a hundred-year-old ginseng..."
Xiao Yichen raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He has always been in good health and is not old enough to need century-old ginseng to regulate his body. What is Ji Yuqing thinking about
Ji Yuqing moved her eyes forward. Was it an illusion? Why did she feel like there was a shadow moving
There was indeed a pair of snow-white shoes on the ground near the window. Looking up from the shoes, she saw black bloodstains on the white skirt. Ji Yuqing's face turned pale, but she couldn't help but look up out of curiosity. When she saw that Ji Lingxue had eyes with only whites instead of black pupils, she got goose bumps all over her body.
Ji Lingxue rolled her eyes, her hair was messy, her hands were dancing mechanically, and she cried softly: "My death is indeed very tragic..."
Ji Yuqing's legs trembled and she screamed, "Ghost... Ghost..." Ji Yuqing jumped off the bed from Xiao Yichen's arms, staggered and fell to the ground.
Ji Lingxue jumped forward and said in a long voice: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you so surprised to see me?"
Ji Yuqing covered her ears and dared not look up again. She saw nothing and heard nothing. Suddenly she thought of something and shouted, "Prince, save me, save me, my sister wants to kill me?" As she said that, she jumped up from the ground, grabbed Xiao Yichen's sleeve and cried bitterly.
"Sister, are you okay?" Another familiar female voice sounded outside the door. Ji Lingxue's eyelids jumped. Yiyun, why is she in the palace
Ji Yuqing seemed to have found her backbone. She wiped the tears from her face, turned around and staggered out the door, "Yiyun, you're here. It's great that you're here." Even if Ji Lingxue turned into a ghost, he would settle the score with you first. You also have a share in bribing the killer.
Yiyun looked at Ji Yuqing in surprise. She was trembling with fear and had a haggard face. She had just entered the room a moment earlier, so why was she so scared
Ji Yuqing hid behind Yiyun, looking around anxiously with a pair of eyes, looking nervous, pointing a trembling finger towards the house, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister Yiyun... I... I just... saw Ji Lingxue's ghost in the prince's room, so scary... She looked so miserable, she must have died unwillingly... and came back to complain to the prince..."
Yiyun looked up at the sun in the sky, then turned to look at Ji Yuqing, who was looking scared and couldn't hide her eyes. "Sister, are you seeing things? How could there be a ghost in broad daylight?" If Ji Lingxue was really dead, she shouldn't have come to seek revenge on them. It wasn't her who killed her.
After being reminded by Yiyun, Ji Yuqing's unstable heart finally settled down. He looked up at the sun above his head. The warm sunlight sprinkled on his face, dispelling the haze on her face. She let out a long breath and smiled, "My sister is reminding me that I must have seen it wrong..." Then he raised his hand and touched his face. Was her makeup ruined
Yiyun took Ji Lingxue's hand and said, "Let's go and take a look together." Is it a real ghost or just a trick
Ji Yuqing nodded. With Yiyun around, she felt more confident.
The two walked into the house side by side. Inside the house, Xiao Yichen was sitting at the table, drinking tea in a neatly dressed manner. There was indeed a woman sitting next to him, wearing white clothes and with long hair. She had her back to them. Due to the angle, they could not see each other's faces.
"Your Highness." The two girls greeted Xiao Yichen one after another, but their eyes vaguely looked in the direction of Ji Lingxue, hoping that she would turn her head. Unfortunately, things did not go as they wished. Ji Lingxue had no intention of turning back and kept facing them with the back of her head.
Xiao Yichen put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at Ji Yuqing and said coldly: "Qing'er, you lost your composure just now." It was also Ji Lingxue's fault for playing a prank, which scared Ji Lingxue badly. Only people with something to hide would not be frightened.
Ji Yuqing bowed her head and admitted her fault sincerely: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I must not have slept well last night. I haven't heard from my sister in the past few days. I heard that my sister had been spat on and became the second faceless female corpse. That's why I was shouting so loudly just now and disturbed Your Highness."
Ji Yuqing's words were full of concern for Ji Lingxue, and she tried to ignore the shock she had just experienced.
Xiao Yichen nodded, "I just came back at midnight last night, and I didn't have time to tell Qing'er that Xue'er is fine."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Yuqing and Yiyun's originally happy mood instantly sank to the bottom.
Ji Lingxue is fine, Ji Lingxue is actually fine! Wasn't she kidnapped by the murderer? So many days have passed, how could nothing happen? Is the murderer a paper tiger
The most depressed person was Ji Yuqing, as her dream of becoming a princess was shattered once again.
Ji Yuqing was so sad that she shed tears, but she could only say: "Sister, she is fine, it is really great... It is worth it for me to burn incense and worship Buddha, eat vegetarian food and recite vegetarian food these days. God heard my prayers."
"I am so touched by my sister's thoughtfulness!"
Ji Lingxue raised her head, and the person in white clothes and long hair with her back to her finally turned around. It was Ji Lingxue for sure, but there was no blood on her face or body. Her black and white eyes were shining with starlight, and even though she had been missing for more than ten days, her face did not look haggard.
Ji Lingxue turned her gaze and looked at Yiyun who was kneeling beside her in surprise. If she had heard correctly, she also called herself a concubine...
Ji Lingxue turned to look at Xiao Yichen, with a trace of confusion in her eyes, "My Lord, have you taken another concubine behind my back?"
Xiao Yichen's expression looked even more innocent. He was just focused on blaming Ji Yuqing and completely ignored Yiyun's existence.
Xiao Yichen asked: "Yiyun, what did you call yourself just now?"
Yiyun bowed and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor granted me marriage yesterday. I am willing to marry you as his concubine."
Ji Lingxue sneered. This emperor was so boring. Her life or death was unknown, but he acted as a matchmaker and arranged a marriage for Xiao Yichen, not caring whether the other party agreed or not.
Xiao Yichen's expression was a little stiff. The emperor's decree had been issued and the person had been carried into Prince Chen's Palace. If he sent her back to her parents' home at this time, Yiyun's reputation would be ruined and she would have to live out her life alone.
Xiao Yichen nodded, "Yiyun is used to living in the mansion. If there is any inconvenience in her life, she can tell the housekeeper directly, or she can send a maid to tell me." There is no way to go back now, so he can only let him live in the mansion first and make plans for the future.
Yiyun smiled and said, "I am fine. There is nothing missing in the palace. Sister Yuqing is also helping me. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yichen nodded, "You all go out, I have something to discuss with the princess."
As soon as Yiyun and Ji Yuqing left, Ji Lingxue stood up and glared at Xiao Yichen, "Your Highness is so lucky. The concubines in this mansion are all talented women. I will feel at ease to have them accompany you in the future."
The corners of Xiao Yichen's mouth twitched. He spoke in such a sarcastic tone. Is he angry again
Ji Lingxue turned away and walked out, kicking over two potted flowers in bloom at the door.
Looking at the broken flowers at the bottom of the pot, Ji Lingxue felt much better and turned to walk towards her own yard.
Mo Xiang was surprised and pulled Ji Lingxue around in circles, and said with red eyes: "Princess, you are finally back, it's great, I was so worried about you..."
If Ji Lingxue was gone, she would either be sent out of the house or have to serve Ji Yuqing, neither of which she wanted to do.
Ji Lingxue smiled and opened her arms to give Mo Xiang a hug, "Silly girl, I'm fine. Look, I came back safe and sound."
