Chapter 134 Moon Appreciation

Chapter 134 Moon Appreciation

Not far from the gate of Osmanthus Courtyard, there was a sneaky figure.

Fang'er was carrying a small bag on her shoulder. She stood there, took a few steps, then timidly retreated. It was unknown how long she hesitated.

Finally, she looked at the closed gate of Osmanthus Courtyard, gritted her teeth, and walked over holding the ladder.

If she fails to complete the task assigned to her by the master, she will have a hard time in the future. Concubine Ji, I am sorry.

Ji Yunqing had now successfully climbed up the tree branch and found a thick branch to sit on.

She breathed slightly. This tree was really difficult to climb, but the feeling up there was different. The air was much fresher.

Now she feels like a wild monkey, and she will feel more involved if she string bananas together.

Her hands were eager to try, and she felt that she could climb higher.

Just as Ji Yunqing was holding onto the tree trunk and planning to climb a little further, he suddenly heard an unusual noise.

She was startled and, in the bright moonlight, quickly fixed her eyes on the wall.

Someone is coming in!

Who would sneak into her yard in the middle of the night?

Ji Yunqing couldn't guess, so she chose to wait and see what would happen next.

As we all know, the osmanthus tree is an evergreen broad-leaved plant. Even in winter, its leaves will not fall off, which provides Ji Yunqing with a natural layer of protection.

It would be hard to spot her unless you looked up at the tree on purpose.

Besides, who in their right mind would think of climbing a tree in the middle of the night?

Ji Yunqing held his breath and watched a petite figure climb up the wall, then with difficulty put the ladder into the wall, and tremblingly climbed down the ladder.

Well, judging from her attire, she should be a little maid, right?

Tomorrow, she will ask someone to tie a circle of waste porcelain pieces on the wall!

The petite figure had no idea that a pair of eyes were watching her. She walked into the yard carrying a small bag.

He looked around first, then chose the osmanthus tree in the yard and squatted on the ground.

Then he took out a small hoe from his small bag and started digging with great effort.

Perhaps because he was not skilled, it took him a full quarter of an hour to dig a hole.

The reason why it was so slow was that this maid was really timid. She would stop and look around vigilantly when she heard any sound of movement.

Ji Yunqing continued to watch. What was she doing?

Could it be a trap?

But it's such a big hole, the worst that can happen if you step on it is a sprained ankle, right?

How useful can it be?

Then, the figure took out something from the bag, which looked like a doll or something.

baby?

Ji Yunqing widened his eyes.

In ancient times, it was not popular to secretly bury babies in other people’s yards in the middle of the night!

This is probably a bad kid.

Let her think about it. The doll might even have the prince's birth date written on it. If she buried it in her yard and it was discovered in the future, she would be completely finished.

Her fat son Ruirui was just like Concubine Mei's child. He couldn't find a suitable person to raise him, so he could only be taken care of by an old nanny for the time being.

Wow!

This person is so vicious!

No wonder she couldn't sleep today. It must be that God was warning her to catch the person.

Thinking of this, Ji Yunqing did not hesitate. Seeing the little maid putting the doll into the pit, she immediately blew the whistle.

"Woo--Woo--"

The little maid was frightened half to death by the sudden sound. Her body froze and she looked up at the tree in fear.

In an instant, screams resounded through the sky, even silencing the chirping of insects in the night.

"Ah! Ah!!!!"

"Ghost!"

Everyone in the Guihua Courtyard was awakened by the whistles and screams. The doors of the rooms opened one by one, and many maids walked out.

When he saw the obviously unfamiliar little maid standing in the yard, he was so scared that he trembled and immediately became alert.

"What?"

At the same time, Ruirui's crying also sounded.

Well, the little guy must have been scared and cried.

Ji Yunqing was helpless. In fact, she had just tried to speak as quietly as possible, but she still failed to prevent it.

I'm so sorry little guy.

Not only the entire Osmanthus Courtyard, but many people in the neighboring courtyards were also woken up by the noise.

Especially at night, the sound was very penetrating, and Prince Zhao, who had just finished a heart-to-heart talk with his concubine Cen, also heard the noise.

"what sound?"

He sat up suddenly.

Cen Xi was a little dissatisfied: "Prince, maybe someone outside is careless. Let's continue talking about Sister Ji. I heard that the old people in the mansion said that this is an ominous person. I am so scared."

Her eyes were red and she looked pitiful.

Any man would definitely feel sorry for her.

But King Zhao was different. His mind was no longer on her. He emphasized his tone, "Ms. Cen, the rumor of unknown origin is just nonsense. I have already ordered that no one is allowed to mention it again. How did you hear about it?"

Cen Xi was shocked and her expression froze. She had indeed forgotten about this.

She reluctantly explained, "Your Highness, I only heard the gossipy old women chatting occasionally. Now that I think about it, maybe someone deliberately let me hear it?"

This statement is also possible. King Zhao did not ask any more questions and opened his arms to signal the other party to help him put on his clothes.

While holding the clothes, Cen Xi pretended to be casual and said, "My Lord, I think that although there are people who are calculating, the rumors about Sister Ji have been circulating for a long time.

It would be better to find a Taoist priest to come to the mansion and perform a proper ritual to get rid of the bad luck. This way, no one in the mansion can say anything anymore."

"Oh?" King Zhao became interested.

"Looking for a Taoist priest?"

"Yes." When Cen Xi heard this was possible, she quickly said, "I heard that there is a Taoist priest named Jia in Qingfeng Temple. He has great magical powers and is good at exorcising demons."

More importantly, this Taoist Master Jia has some connections with her family, which makes things easier for her.

King Zhao thought for a moment and said: "It's a good idea, but the candidate can be changed."

Cen Xi was shocked, "Who should I change?"

Then he felt that he had overreacted. When he was thinking of saying something to cover it up, King Zhao had already put on his clothes and strode out.

Cen Xi hurriedly chased after him.

Osmanthus Courtyard

The yard was brightly lit at this time. Ji Yunqing sat on a tree and looked down at his clothes.

She was wearing a thick nightgown late at night, and nightgowns are usually made of light colors.

In addition, Ji Yunqing was used to being frugal, and thought that no one would see him wearing his pajamas in his room, so he chose a white one that did not need to be dyed.

It's really creepy to watch late at night.

But it doesn’t look like a ghost, does it?

Fang'er was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her throat. After she screamed, she could only say "Ghost!" over and over again.

There is no other word at all.

I was shocked at first sight.

Nanny An was wearing a piece of clothing. When she saw clearly what the unfamiliar little maid was holding in her hand, even though she was old and experienced, she couldn't help but feel frightened!

Voodoo doll!

At this moment, King Zhao strode in.

A deep voice sounded: "What's going on?"

Following the gaze of the crowd, King Zhao frowned and said, "Ji, why are you sitting on a tree in the middle of the night?"
