"it's me."
Hearing that Ruge's voice was the same as before, it seemed that his injury was not serious. Ji Lingxue breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're okay. I thought you were captured by the perverted third prince of Dayan. In the past two days, have you Where are you? Why is there no news?" She sent Xiaosi and the beggars to look for him for several days.
Ru Ge said: "I'm fine... Master, don't worry about me."
Ji Lingxue nodded, "As long as it's okay!" Otherwise, she would lack bodyguards and would always worry about villains trying to harm her.
"You go down and rest. I have to go out tomorrow and you have to protect my safety."
Ru Ge nodded, turned around and left, closing the window.
Ji Lingxue pinched her chin and looked at the closed window in a daze. Do experts like to come in through the window
Ji Lingxue sighed helplessly, turned around and went to bed to rest. Just after she fell asleep, a figure in white came through the window and stood in front of the bed while avoiding the traps of Ji Lingxue's men with the same dexterity.
Xiao Yichen bent down and stared at Ji Lingxue's sleeping face, looking for clues in the study for a long time. It was already midnight when he came out. He wanted to come over to comfort Ji Lingxue, fearing that she would not sleep well at night, but he did not expect that this woman was so dead.
Xiao Yichen sat down by the bed and raised his hand to touch Ji Lingxue's sleeping point. Then he lit the oil lamp and lifted the quilt to check Ji Lingxue's injuries.
Even though she had suffered so much and was frightened, she never showed weakness in front of him. She was always so strong that it made him feel bad.
There were several purple marks on the wrists from being strangled by thick ropes. Xiao Yichen rubbed the wounds and murmured, "Xue'er, have you been tied up for a long time? Only the marks of strangulation will turn purple."
The sleeping Ji Lingxue would not answer his words. Xiao Yichen shook his head, took out the purple gold ointment from his arms and applied it to Ji Lingxue. He used his internal force to transfer it to his fingers, so that the massage would get twice the result with half the effort.
After smearing the wound on his wrist, Xiao Yichen began to check other places until he took off Ji Lingxue's sleeping socks. When he saw the thick bandage, Xiao Yichen's eyes turned cold. This third prince of Yan, when he found it, he had to wait for ten seconds. Return twice as much.
Carefully untying the bandage, Xiao Yichen looked at the bloody flesh on the soles of his feet, his eyes sore.
The soles of the feet were already torn. When Mo Xiang treated the wounds, he cried and cursed. He visited all the eighteen generations of the third prince who kidnapped Ji Lingxue. Mo Xiang carefully picked out the stones embedded in the flesh, washed them with potion and removed the rotten flesh. , the wound still looks bad.
Ji Lingxue comforted her with a smile, "The injuries are all on the soles of the feet. Even if there are scars, it won't affect anything. Don't be sad. If this happens again, I won't throw the shoes out as a hint."
Xiao Yichen fetched warm water, carefully wiped off all the medicine on Mo Xiang, applied his purple gold plaster, and re-bandaged it. This purple gold plaster was reserved for the royal family. There were only three bottles in the palace, but it was a good medicine for bruises. , can quickly repair wounds and remove scars without leaving any traces. However, its prescription is expensive. One of the herbs only blooms once every three years, so the output is scarce.
After putting Ji Lingxue's socks back on and covering her with a quilt, Xiao Yichen did the finishing work, put away the removed gauze, and then left Ji Lingxue's room.
The next day, when Mo Xiang was changing the dressing, he looked at the nearly healed wound and praised Ji Lingxue's excellent repair ability, but he didn't know that there was someone behind the scenes applying medicine to Ji Lingxue's luck every night.
Xiao Yichen has been very busy recently, busy reporting the whereabouts of the third prince of Dayan, so he rarely comes to Ji Lingxue's house. Ji Lingxue doesn't care, and has a few days of leisure.
Finally, the ten-day appointment with Ji Yuqing arrived. Ji Lingxue got up early and took Mo Xiang to find Ji Yuqing, fearing that the other party would forget to let her go.
Ji Yuqing was woken up by a knock on the door. The relationship between her and Xiao Yichen had finally eased in the past two days, and Xiao Yichen often came to see her.
Xiao Yichen has been walking to Ji Yuqing's yard these past few days, and it started from the day Ji Lingxue returned home.
When Ji Lingxue returned to her room, she called Mo Xiang, ignoring Xiao Yichen who looked concerned and flattering. Xiao Yichen felt a little unhappy at being left out and thought of Ji Yuqing. They were sisters. Xiao Yichen wanted to ask Ji Yuqing about Ji Lingxue's hobbies.
It was rare for Ji Yuqing to have Xiao Yichen come over, and he would chat with her all night long. Although they were talking about her past with Ji Lingxue, she would no longer be jealous if she could keep Xiao Yichen.
It was Ziye who came out to open the door. When he saw the person knocking on the door, Ji Lingxue immediately said hello, "Princess, what can you do? Concubine Qing is still resting."
Ji Lingxue raised her head and glanced at the sky and said, "Go wake up your master and tell her that I will take her to Guanyin Temple to ask for a child today. If she doesn't go, I will go alone."
Ziye nodded and went back to the house to convey what Ji Lingxue said to Ji Yuqing in detail. Ji Yuqing was used to getting up late, but Ji Lingxue couldn't sleep due to such a fuss. She changed clothes and washed up, and specially wore a bright red dress. I vowed to overpower Ji Lingxue.
After going out and seeing Ji Lingxue dressed in men's clothing, Ji Yuqing curled her lips and said, "Sister, why did you change into men's clothing?" I had to admit that Ji Lingxue looked pretty in men's clothing.
Ji Lingxue smiled and said: "Men's clothing is more convenient, isn't it?"
Ji Yuqing shrugged noncommittally, looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost time, we should set off."
Ji Lingxue nodded, and a simple carriage stopped at the door of the palace. Ji Yuqing frowned in disgust, "Sister, you are the princess, why are you riding in such a simple carriage? This is so inconsistent with your status?"
Ji Lingxue said: "It's better to keep a low profile when going out, otherwise it will be the prince's face if you get into trouble."
This alludes to the fact that Ji Yuqing does not act in a low-key manner. She always pays attention to pomp and circumstance wherever she goes, and is deeply afraid that others will not know her identity.
Ji Yuqing covered her mouth and said: "Sister, don't worry, I know what's appropriate. Unlike my sister who attracts attention, I won't be kidnapped and taken to some deep mountains and forests."
The corner of Ji Lingxue's mouth twitched. When she mentioned the last time she was kidnapped, she cursed the perverted third prince of Dayan again in her heart, and she felt much better.
The carriage passed the west city gate and entered the official road. Ji Lingxue opened the curtains to enjoy the scenery along the way. From a distance, she saw the four characters "Qingfengyashe" written in the imperial book of her restaurant that stood out.
Ji Lingxue coughed and said, "Stop the car."
Ji Yuqing lifted the curtains of the car and looked at the scenery outside and asked, "Are you here so soon?"
Ji Lingxue smiled and rolled her eyes, "We haven't arrived yet. I'm a little hungry after being in such a hurry this morning. Let's go to the restaurant to have breakfast before we hit the road."
Ji Yuqing looked in the direction of Ji Lingxue's finger and couldn't help but frowned, "When did there be a restaurant there?"
Ji Lingxue got off the carriage early and asked the driver to take the horse for a walk nearby. Even if the rain didn't clear, Ji Lingxue had to get off and follow Ji Lingxue.
Today is the grand opening day of Qingfeng Yashe. Ji Lingxue specially brought people to take care of her own business. This is called keeping the money from outsiders!
Mo Xiang had greeted Xiao Si and the others early in the morning, pretending that she did not know Ji Lingxue and the others. Xiao Si politely invited Ji Lingxue and Ji Yuqing to sit in the private room.
The waiter said: "What do the two female guests want to eat? Our store is newly opened today. As long as the two guests leave a poem, they will get a 20% discount on today's meal. Exceptionally, we will also give you a small gift."
Ji Yuqing nodded hurriedly, she was a talented girl, and writing a poem was nothing. He immediately asked the mistress to send him the Four Treasures of the Study, and wrote a poem: "At dusk, the mountains are far away, and the weather is cold, and the white house is poor. Chaimen hears dogs barking, and on a snowy night Return to others.”
Ji Yuqing picked up the rice paper she had just written on and dried the ink on it. She glanced at Ji Lingxue provocatively and asked, "Sister, do you want to write a poem too?"
Ji Lingxue smiled and said, "I won't write anymore." It would be bad if Ji Yuqing took the limelight. Ji Lingxue added in her mind.
Xiaosi took the rice paper in Ji Yuqing's hand and praised it a few times, turned around and exited the room, then took a cookbook into the room and asked Ji Yuqing to order.
Ji Yuqing felt that Ji Lingxue had taken advantage of her. If she couldn't compose poetry, she would have to pay the original price for today's meal, so she only chose the dishes she liked without asking Ji Lingxue what he meant.
As soon as the food was ordered, Ji Lingxue went out holding her stomach. Ji Yuqing muttered: "Lazy people poop a lot!"
But what she didn't know was that Ji Lingxue went out to the kitchen to cook, so her restaurant naturally hired a cook. She showed the cook some of the recipes she had researched. This cook is a forty-year-old woman, carefully selected by Mo Xiangjing.
The cook learned cooking very quickly. Ji Lingxue only cooked it once and remembered it in her mind. However, business was very light today, which made the cook and the waiter sweat.
Ji Lingxue smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, business will come to your door automatically in less than ten days, just keep an eye on it."
Mo Xiang said: "Master, Concubine Qing only orders for herself. What will happen if she doesn't take the initiative to pay later?"
Ji Lingxue smiled and said, "It's easy. You can go to Prince Chen's Mansion to ask for it. I'm a witness."
Mo Xiang covered her mouth and smiled. The princess was really evil, and her sisters were also scheming.
Ji Lingxue said: "My sisters also have to settle accounts clearly. I may not suffer any losses in my business."
In the private room, plates of exquisite and delicious food were served on the table, which made Ji Yuqing's mouth water. The food was originally ordered for herself, so she picked up her chopsticks and started eating without waiting for Ji Lingxue to come back.
Ziye stood next to Ji Yuqing and served her dishes. She didn't say much, but she couldn't help but said: "Concubine, it doesn't seem good for you to do this!"
Ji Yuqing snorted coldly and said, "What's wrong? She is my sister and we are all part of the family. There is no need to pay attention to this."
Ziye: "..."
After Ji Yuqing took the last sip of the soup, took the handkerchief from Ziye and wiped her mouth gracefully, Ji Lingxue opened the door and came in.
Ji Yuqing had a cold smile on her lips, glanced at the empty dishes on the table, with a guilty look on her face, spread her hands and said, "Sister came back really late, what should I do about this? I've been waiting for you, sister. For a long time, I had to eat by myself. Sister, you are still hungry. Why don't you wait for the next time you come over and order a few more dishes? I'll just wait for my sister... It's just that it's getting late, and it's already three o'clock in the morning. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to eat like this. We can’t get to Marriage Temple until it’s dark.”
Ji Lingxue didn't feel unhappy at all on her face and said with a smile: "Sister, just finish your meal. Anyway, what you ordered is what you like to eat. My sister has such a good appetite, I am also very happy. Now you go downstairs and pay the bill. I'm here The carriage is waiting for you." After saying that, he turned around and took Mo Xiang downstairs.
