Chapter Twenty Two

plead guilty

In the early morning, tiny jets of water hang from the tips of the leaves.A strong wind hit, the leaves trembled slightly, and the water column turned into dew, dripping into the soil.

"Where did you learn your internal strength?" Jin Xiu asked suddenly.

Ji Si withdrew her palm, "I don't know, I just know that even after eating Ruanxiang powder, this internal energy circulates in the body day and night, and it becomes deeper and deeper silently. It has been like this since I can remember."

Jin Xiu held a basin of hot water, "If you have been practicing since you were able to walk, you can be considered to have gained internal strength for more than ten years. Such powerful internal strength and mental skills must not come from some woodcutter."

"I know," Ji Si lowered her head and looked at her palm, "I just don't remember."

Jin Xiu: "Amnesia?"

"Maybe," Ji Si tidied up her black hair tied around her waist, tied it behind her head with a black brocade belt, and casually arranged her bun, "Are you awake?"

The two looked at the door of the side room together, Jin Xiu shook her head, "I'm going to sleep till the sun rises."

Ji Si then looked at the water basin that Jin Xiu was holding.

Jin Xiu said: "Wash your hands and go to the study to study."

Ji Si: "..."

"You won't listen?" Jin Xiu wondered, "This is Miss' order."

Ji Si had no choice but to do so, washed her hands and went to the study to study.

Jin Xiu became proud, and followed her, step by step on the ground, ordering Ji Si to recite the Three Character Classic first.

Ji Si then read slowly, every word and every sentence, very earnestly.

"If it's an ordinary family, this is not even considered as reading material before enlightenment," Jin Xiu said, "Xiaotao has already said that since you know the identity of the princess, if you want to stay by her side and continue to serve her, you need to learn more."

Ji Si chuckled, "Auntie Xiu said so."

Jin Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then heard a voice from the East Wing, and stepped out of the study.Ji Si followed behind and rushed towards the wing room.

The water basin outside the wing fell to the ground, and the water spilled all over the floor. Qin Jun was wearing a nightgown, and her long hair was hugging the screen, with a messy face.

"Fly!" In an instant, Jin Xiu approached the assassin Fei, with two fingers of his left hand pressed against the vitals of Fei's neck.

The assassin flipped a big Byakugan, "A certain didn't touch her."

Ji Si grabbed Qin Jun into her arms and checked her up and down: "Are you injured?"

Qin Jun shook her head, her sleepy eyes were ignorant, and her reaction was a little slow, "No."

The assassin flew up and said: "Miss woke up and there was no one to wait on her, so someone kindly brought in a basin of water, is it because I'm too ugly?"

Ji Si let go of Qin Jun and picked up the wooden basin on the ground, and handed it back to Assassin Fei, "Remember to bring hot water next time."

Jin Xiu pushed Qin Jun back to the inner room, "Miss?"

"I'm fine," Qin Jun rubbed her eyes, "Just wash up."

The maid brought hot water, after Qin Jun washed her face and cleaned her teeth with salt and willow branches, she sat in front of the dressing table and let Jin Xiu comb her hair.

Ji Si took the Three Character Classic and read it silently outside Qin Jun's window. Assassin Fei was very bored, hanging upside down on a tree branch to watch the warm sky, rising from the east little by little.

"I have to go back." Qin Jun said.

Jin Xiu hummed, and wet the comb with water to tie her hair, "Miss, don't worry, the master will not punish you for favoring girls."

Qin Jun rubbed her nose and said, "Go back and plead guilty to my father."

Ji Si paused, holding the scroll and glanced through the window.

Qin Jun opened the drawer under the makeup cabinet and picked among the jade pendants, "Where is the golden crow jade pendant?"

Jin Xiu thought for a while, and said: "Yuan ago, when the people from Zhuyuan went to pick up Lin Yan, it was used as a token, and it should still be with her now."

At the beginning, the golden crow jade pendant fell into the hands of Qionglou's mother. After setting fire to it, Ji Si snatched it back and returned it to Qin Jun. After a round trip, it went into Ji Si's hands again. It was given to Sun Mei yesterday, but it has not been taken back yet.

Ji Si half turned around holding the book, facing Jin Xiu sideways, showing her empty right waist.Women's accessories are mostly on the right side of the body. Ji Si means that she has no jade pendant on her body.

Qin Jun: "..."

Jin Xiu: "Since I heard it, why didn't you reply?"

Ji Si looked sideways, and leaned towards Qin Jun through the window, "I'll go and get it now."

"No need," Qin Jun said, looking at Jin Xiu, "Let Xing'er go there in person and invite him to come."

Qin Jun wet his fingers with water and wrote three characters on the counter - Song Wenzhou.

Jin Xiu: "No."

After breakfast, Jin Xiu, Qin Jun and other confidants from the palace left the bamboo garden.

Ji Si sent Qin Jun away at the corner gate, and the assassin was elusive, "I'll go and see."

Ji Si stretched out her hand, holding a pill between her fingers, "The seven-day period is coming."

Assassin Fei immediately turned around and stretched out his hand to grab it. Ji Si clenched her fist and retreated to fight him.

Fei's offensive became more and more fierce, Zhao Zhao pointed at the antidote in Ji Si's hand, and Ji Si retreated while fighting, leading him back to the backyard.

"Heh," Assassin Fei sneered, and stopped, "Aren't you curious about her identity?"

"Not curious," Ji Si flicked the pill luck towards the assassin, "I'm off to practice calligraphy."

The assassin took the antidote and swallowed it in one gulp, smacked his lips, and asked, "Is there any more?"

Ji Si: "When the time comes, I will give you another one."

Assassin Fei sneered: "There is only half of the first month left, what can you learn in fifteen days? Seeing that you don't want to practice martial arts, wouldn't it be better to let someone go as soon as possible?"

Ji Si spread out the paper, grinded it, and drew the post, "What happened in the morning?"

Assassin Fei took a pen and poked around in the ink tray, "It's nothing."

Ji Si asked: "Yesterday in the front hall, did you eavesdrop?"

Assassin Fei folded his arms around his chest: "I only heard a little bit, isn't it that you were discovered and the little girl's family came to the door? Later Jin Xiu came out and chased me away, and you were guarding the study, how can I eavesdrop?"

Shufeng Palace.

The palace man replied from outside the screen, "The Taifu and the imperial concubine went to intercede, and reduced the twenty sticks to ten, and the servants in the palace will carry out the punishment. The Taifu will receive the punishment himself, and two years' salary will be deducted."

Jin Xiu appeared from behind the screen, helped Qin Jun out who had changed into the princess costume, and asked, "Who is going to execute the sentence?"

Palace man: "It seems that Yu Feng Zuo Gonggong is already on his way."

Qin Jun looked at Jinxiu, and Jin Xiu said: "Eunuch Zuo and Fengyi Pavilion have a close relationship."

"Then the ten rods fell on the flesh and there are only five rods left." Qin Jun smiled, "Is the front scattered?"

Palace man: "Today's Lantern Festival, we left early."

Qin Jun supported the crown on her head, "Since it's Lantern Festival, let's go to pay respects to Father Emperor."

Jin Xiu: "No."

"Since you haven't heard anything, why explain so much?" Ji Si glanced away.

Assassin Fei was taken aback, turned around and went out, "I'm sick! One sentence turns three corners! I have nothing to say to you Central Plains people!"

Ji Si stayed in the post for an hour, and then went to practice martial arts in the courtyard.The assassin twitched at the corner of his mouth, folded a branch and held it in his hand, and reluctantly said, "I only demonstrate it once, and I can remember a few moves, it's your luck."

In the courtyard, the wind leaves rustled, and wherever the internal force went, there were traces left by Assassin Fei's sword moves.

Ji Si could tell that this was not Fei's full strength. Seven days ago, the assassin Fei was injured by Jin Xiu, and he probably wasn't healed yet, but it also meant that he deliberately hid his clumsiness.

After Assassin Fei finished a set of moves, he turned around and saw Ji Si smiling contemptuously, and was surprised, "You think XX is not enough to teach you?"

Ji Si sarcastically said: "Assassins are so cunning, they can hide seven points, so why reveal five points."

Fei gritted his teeth: "Is I sick? Why should I teach you seven points?"

Ji Si's eyes were gloomy, and she slapped the soft sword on her waist. The blade slid across the heel of her palm, and a line of blood soaked out immediately, revealing a shocking red in Ji Si's palm.

Fei: "Tsk tsk, it's still far away."

As the strong wind blew, Ji Si used a soft sword to practice in the courtyard, and bamboo leaves fell all over the ground in a short time.

Fei looked at the bald bamboo, touched the top of his head, and wondered: "You are very irritable today, don't you usually put on a show? Are you tired?"

"Oh! I see," Fei clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "It's because the lady didn't bring you home, so you're angry, aren't you?"

Suddenly, the surroundings were quiet, a leaf fell lightly to Ji Si's sword blade, was cut in half silently, and fell to the ground.

"No," Ji Si frowned, "After ten days passed, the cold poison broke out, and I just had a headache."

Fei: "What?"

Ji Si withdrew her sword suddenly and said angrily, "I'll go out for a while."

Fei: "Where are you going?"

Ji Si: "Take the jade pendant."

"Nervous." Fei cut, ignored it, flew up the tree, and fell asleep.

As the sun rose, Fei woke up from his sleep and suddenly felt unwell, as if his heart had been eaten by insects, which made him sweat profusely and fell off the tree.

There was a conversation behind the screen wall, Song Wenzhou carried a medicine box and led Xing'er into the backyard.

"Relieve the headache?" Song Wenzhou asked, and immediately slapped on his medicine box, "No problem, I always carry the silver needles of the humble staff with me."

Xing'er smiled and said, "Mr. Song, what we see here needs to be kept secret, and so is the identity of the owner."

Song Wenzhou nodded immediately, pointing behind Zhaobi, "Then I'll go."

Myolie is blessed.

Song Wenzhou walked around Zhaobi and was taken aback when he saw fallen leaves all over the ground. Upon closer inspection, these fallen leaves seemed to have been cut in half by a sharp weapon.

Song Wenzhou hesitated for a moment, then bursts of white mist came out, and he walked forward cautiously, clutching the belt of the medicine box tightly.

Suddenly, there was a commotion under the tree.

"Ah!" Song Wenzhou yelled, "Who!"

Fei rolled out from behind the tree, grabbed his heart, and glared at Song Wenzhou, "Who are you!"

Song Wenzhou fell to the ground in fright, "I, I, I, I am a doctor!"

"Langzhong?" Fei frowned, covered his heart and rolled on the ground in pain, Fei's eyes were about to burst, "The antidote is fake! Lin Yan!"

Song Wenzhou was so frightened that he trembled all over, he frantically pulled out the silver needle, and approached Fei tremblingly, "Yong, this one, this brave man, let me give you the needle to relieve your headache."

Fei: "Go away!"

Outside the imperial study room, Qin Jun put his index finger on his lips, signaling to the palace guards outside the door to keep silent, carefully holding the food box, and tiptoed into the imperial study room.
