Chapter 283 His Gift
There is a Xunfang Pavilion behind the West Garden, surrounded by colorful fallen petals and lush grass, the scenery is very beautiful.
Ji Yuntang had originally closed her eyes comfortably, lying on her side on the beauty couch in Xunfang Pavilion, allowing Luo Junhe to help her paint a portrait of her taking a rest in the woods.
Unexpectedly, she heard Xie Liuzheng's voice suddenly in her ears. She opened her eyes reflexively and sat up from the beauty bed.
Luo Junhe paused with his pen as he looked at the half-finished painting of the beauty, except for the clothes, shoes and hair accessories which had not yet been colored.
His peach blossom eyes were deep, and he said to Ji Yuntang in a gentle voice: "You can draw next time. I'm afraid that Master Xie has something urgent to ask you now. Atang should go over and take a look!"
"Okay, then I'll go first." Ji Yuntang nodded and left in a hurry.
Luo Junhe looked at her back, and after making sure that Ji Yuntang had gone far away, he silently put away the painting in his hand.
He reached under the wheelchair and pulled out an inconspicuous black cloth bag, which contained the Huanghuali bracelet he had just carved halfway.
Luo Junhe will carefully polish each bead to ensure that there are no flaws or wood chips on it. Finally, he will string them together with a jade ruyi that can protect people's safety, and the work is considered complete.
However, he usually had to carry Ji Yuntang on his back when polishing the beads.
Ji Yuntang has been staying in Prince Ye's Mansion these days, so Luo Junhe couldn't find any free time, and the polishing progress was much slower.
He looked at the Huanghuali wood in his hand with deep brows and a gentle smile on his thin red lips.
He asked Wang Sheng to buy this secretly for him, and no one knew about it except the two of them.
Huanghuali is nourishing and symbolizes a healthy life.
It may not be the best wood, but it is an expression of Luo Junhe's love for Ji Yuntang.
He wanted to give it to her personally as a gift on New Year's Eve.
I wonder if Ji Yuntang will like it?
Thinking that New Year's Eve was still half a month away, Luo Junhe couldn't help but start to look forward to it.
When Ji Yuntang arrived in front of the West Garden, he saw Xie Liuzheng pacing back and forth in the yard, looking very anxious.
He was anxious, and Ji Baiyi next to him was anxious with him. The man and the dog looked like they were performing a duet.
As soon as Ji Yuntang appeared, Xie Liuzheng's eyes lit up, and he walked forward and wanted to pull Ji Yuntang's arm.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he suddenly thought of something and slowly retracted it.
"Sister, something happened to mother, hurry up and follow me!"
Ji Yuntang was stunned and asked him: "What's wrong with mother?"
Xie Liuzheng said: "This morning, Concubine Li sent her maid to tell mother to come to the palace and have tea with her to chat about the past."
"But now it's been two or three hours and mother hasn't come back yet. I'm really worried. I'm afraid that Concubine Li will know that mother has adopted you as her goddaughter and will want to harm her."
"Anyway, you have the token given by the Ninth Princess, so come with me into the palace first."
When Ji Yuntang heard these words, his expression became serious.
If the person rumored to have entered the palace with Madam Cai was someone else, it would be fine and they wouldn't have to worry.
But as for Concubine Li, it’s hard to say!
This woman has always been very insidious and is very good at disguise.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuntang had no time to pack up and directly asked Chen Hu to prepare the carriage.
Xie Liuzheng said: "No need to prepare a carriage, my carriage is parked outside, just follow me."
Ji Yuntang nodded. He had originally thought that Xie Liuzheng could not touch women, so he prepared another carriage.
Since he said he had prepared a carriage, let him do as he pleases!
The two of them walked out of the Night King's Mansion quickly. Fortunately, Xie Liuzheng's carriage was very large and could easily accommodate ten people.
Ji Yuntang sat in with peace of mind.
Along the way, Xie Liuzheng kept urging Meng Fan, "Hurry up, faster."
Meng Fan drove the carriage very fast. It should have taken two quarters of an hour to reach the palace, but he managed to shorten the time to one quarter of an hour.
At the palace gate, the number of guards was obviously more than double that before. They held silver spears in their hands and had solemn expressions, as if they were investigating something.
Ji Yuntang and Xie Liuzheng jumped off the carriage one after another, but before they got close to the door, they were stopped by a guard.
"The Emperor has issued an order! Today, the palace is a critical area for capturing fugitives. No one is allowed to enter or leave. You should go back quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Liuzheng felt even more uneasy. He felt that the reason why Madam Cai had not left the palace for so long was most likely because of this fugitive.
I don’t know what kind of fugitive he is, but he has made the capital Jingyang feel like it is facing a great enemy and has arranged so many guards to guard the palace gate.
As a result, Xie Liuzheng's desire to enter the palace became even stronger.
He said angrily: "How dare you! Open your dog eyes and see clearly, you dare to stop Princess Ye and this prince?"
Not only was the guard not afraid, but his tone was extremely arrogant.
"This is the emperor's order, and I am following his orders. Please don't interfere with our work, Princess and Prince."
Ji Yuntang sneered, "What if this princess must enter the palace today?"
The guards still stopped them.
Ji Yuntang directly took out the token given by Luo Qingge and shoved it in his face, his voice intimidating without even being angry.
"The Ninth Princess has ordered me to go to the palace to give acupuncture to the Seventeenth Prince. If I delay the treatment, can you still save your life?"
The guards panicked instantly.
They looked at each other, not knowing whether what Ji Yuntang said was true or false, but they also understood that if they stopped her and really delayed the Seventeenth Prince's treatment time, they would all die!
Thinking of this, the guard relented.
"Princess Ye can enter, but no one else can."
This was also a special order from Emperor Jingyang. If they saw Prince Xie, they should stop him and not let him know that the person they wanted to capture was Madam Cai.
Ji Yuntang sneered, "He is the assistant I hired. If he doesn't come in, I can't give acupuncture to the Seventeenth Prince. You can do whatever you want!"
Xie Liuzheng also responded in time: "Yes, this prince is the assistant of Princess Ye, why don't you get out of the way!"
The Imperial Guards were frightened. Why had they never heard that Prince Xie also knew medicine?
But now is obviously not the time to worry about this, because Ji Yuntang has already started to force his way in!
She lost her patience and grabbed a handful of cartilage powder from the space and threw it in the faces of the guards.
The group of people fell to the ground limply, unable to speak.
Ji Yuntang glanced at them mockingly, "Shut up!"
After saying that, he took Xie Liuzheng into the palace.
The two rushed straight to Concubine Li's Weiyang Palace.
But when they got there, they found out that Concubine Li was not in the Weiyang Palace, but had gone to Emperor Jingyang's government hall with Luo Qianxue.
The fugitive that the Imperial Guard wanted to capture was none other than Madam Cai, whom they were looking for.
