Chapter 137 New Year’s Eve
Chapter 137 New Year’s Eve
Ji Jiuying sneered. How could this old woman's tricks be hidden from her? She turned around and went back to Qinglan Courtyard.
After returning to the Ji family, Ji Chenyuan treated Ji Jiuying almost as his ancestor. He even didn't mention the incident where she made his grandmother faint from anger.
Ji Jiuying has been staying in the Ji family, eating, drinking, and practicing. Even Qing Ling beside her has benefited from it. Her life is very leisurely.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed.
"Miss, today is New Year's Eve, the busiest day in Cang Yue Country. Are we really not going out for a walk?" Qing Ling was lying on the couch in the yard, basking in the sun, holding a bunch of grapes in her hand.
These two days at the Ji family were like a dream. She didn't even have to work. Every time she wanted to work, a group of maids would rush to do it with her.
"Qingling, bear with it a little longer, saving your life is the most important thing!" Ji Jiuying was also lying on the couch basking in the sun. She also wanted to go out, but she had not forgotten what Gong Mingyue had said to her.
Qing Ling sat up suddenly and asked vigilantly, "Miss, are you saying that someone wants to kill us?"
"It's to kill me!" Ji Jiuying answered calmly, as if the person being hunted was not her.
"Miss, Qingling will protect you!" Qingling said seriously.
"Silly Qingling, why are you so nervous? Eat your grapes." Ji Jiuying picked up a grape and stuffed it into her mouth.
In the study.
"Master!" A man in black knelt in front of Ji Chenyuan.
"What has Ji Jiuying done these two days?" Ji Chenyuan asked casually.
"Besides eating and drinking in the yard, I practice in my room!"
"Well~ continue to monitor her and report any unusual movements immediately."
"Yes, Master!"
At the New Year’s Eve dinner, Ji Jiuying’s joining made the atmosphere a little weird.
Only Ji Chenyuan and Zhou Haiping tried their best to talk to Ji Jiuying. In the end, they talked about nothing but alchemy and dragons, and where to put the things rewarded by the emperor!
Ji Jiuying felt very bored, so she ate something casually and went back to Qinglan Courtyard.
into the night.
The sound of firecrackers rang out and brilliant fireworks bloomed over the sky of Kyoto City.
The flow of people was endless, they were laughing and cheering, the bright street lights and the stars in the sky shone together, the whole Cang Yue Kingdom was immersed in a sea of jewels and gems, dazzling the eyes.
Ji Jiuying and Qing Ling sat on the roof and watched this spectacular scene.
This is the first year that Ji Jiuying has spent here.
"Qing Ling, is there any unusual movement of the Sound Transmission Butterfly?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Ling cast a spell to summon a sound-transmitting butterfly and connected it with the other sound-transmitting butterflies.
Half a moment.
"Miss, the one next to General Ji has reported back that the shadow guards should continue to monitor you."
"I only saw Madam Zhou asking Xi Que to go back to her mother's house to give her sister-in-law a gift, saying that she wanted her to help exchange for a Soul Forgetting Gu."
Soul Forgetting Gu? Ji Jiuying frowned slightly, but her intuition told her that Zhou Haiping must have done this at the behest of Ji Chenyuan.
Ji Jiuying used her mind to check the Tianzhu Book. It turned out that the Soul-Forgetting Gu could control the person who was poisoned, making him unable to control himself.
"Miss, you must be careful. You can tell from the sound of this Soul-Forgetting Gu that it is not a good thing." Qing Ling said worriedly.
"Okay, I'll be careful." Ji Jiuying sneered. If they dared to come, she would let them taste the poison she made.
"The second young lady didn't seem to be unusual, but she was staring at the two butterflies in the container in the room."
Staring at the two-character butterfly in a daze? This is not right. This is not like Ji Fengyan's style. So the problem lies with the butterfly.
"What color are the two butterflies? Are they dead or alive?" Ji Jiuying asked.
Qing Ling thought for a moment and said, "One is black, the other is light blue, and both are alive."
After getting the relevant information, Ji Jiuying immediately checked the Tianzhu Book, but there were too many things about butterflies...
"Xiao Xiehuo, did you hear clearly what Qingling said just now? Do you know what those two butterflies are?" Ji Jiuying asked with her mind.
The evil fire instantly exploded. Did this damn woman have to add a small word in front of his mighty and domineering name?
Seeing its fur standing up, Ji Jiuying really wanted to pick it up and pet it.
"Why do I feel like it's a bit like a double butterfly love~" the little boy answered seriously.
"Little White Dragon, what is Double Butterfly Love?" Little Huang'er asked curiously.
When the little boy heard Xiao Huang'er calling him the thousand-year-old dragon "Little White Dragon", he was suddenly stunned and was interrupted when he was about to say something.
"Double Butterfly Love is also called Double Butterfly Chain. The black butterflies are usually placed on men, and the colored butterflies are placed on women. If the poison is successful, the two people cannot be more than one kilometer away from each other, otherwise they will be in great pain."
Perhaps he felt that someone had said the lines he had prepared first, and Xiehuo turned the tables in a somewhat frustrated manner.
Seeing that Ji Jiuying didn't say anything, Qing Ling asked, "What's wrong, Miss? Is there something fishy about those two butterflies?"
Ji Jiuying told Qing Ling everything Xie Huo said, but Ji Jiuying was a little confused. As far as she knew, it was very difficult to successfully cultivate this pair of Butterfly Love. Out of a thousand pairs, only three or two, or even just one, could be successfully cultivated. So who gave her the pair of Butterfly Love?
"Isn't this too insidious? The two of them can't be more than one kilometer away from each other? Does the second lady want to use it on the young lady?" Qing Ling said angrily.
Thinking of something, Qing Ling asked again, "Miss, why doesn't the Imperial Master come to protect you?"
Qing Ling felt that in this situation, only the powerful Imperial Master could protect her.
"Uh~he might be peeking in the dark!" Ji Jiuying said with a smile.
Ah? But the words that came out of his mouth made Qing Ling's hair stand on end instantly!
"Tsk..." The air moved slightly, and Gong Mingyue's handsome and dazzling face appeared beside Ji Jiuying, "Since Xiao Jiuer doesn't like your husband to peek in the dark, then your husband's better come out and watch openly~"
Ji Jiuying slapped his restless hand away and said through gritted teeth, "Ayue, shut up!"
Qing Ling stood there in a daze. This was the first time she saw the true face of the Imperial Master at such a close distance. But was this rogue-like man really the cold and cruel Imperial Master?
Moreover, the Imperial Master seems to be very approachable, not like the rumors say.
The next second, Gong Mingyue gave Qing Ling a frightening look, and Qing Ling quickly stood up and flew out of the yard...
"Gong Mingyue, why are you scaring my Qingling again?" Ji Jiuying glared at him.
"No way, it's obvious that she is too timid!" Gong Mingyue buried his head in Ji Jiuying's neck, breathing in her scent.
"Ji Chenyuan has spies here, aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Ji Jiuying leaned towards him naturally and said.
"Hehehe~ Xiao Jiuer underestimates her husband too much." Gong Mingyue gently nodded his hand, and a puppet that looked like Ji Jiuying sat in the yard. Then he picked her up and flew to the top floor of Yunshui Pavilion.
