Chapter 180 The powerful concubine
Ji Yunqing was completely confused, not knowing what had happened to King Zhao.
The items in the box had just been replaced last night, which meant that the person who took the jewelry had only been there between that evening and now.
Ji Yunqing frowned and thought seriously: "Your Highness, with so many eyes watching during the day, it should be impossible for him to do anything bad. If he wanted to do something bad, he should have done it last night."
Xuancao shook her head and denied it: "I locked the door myself last night. I didn't find anyone touching it when I woke up this morning."
Hemerocallis is very serious and careful in her work.
After hearing what she said, Ji Yunqing immediately decided: "Then it is very likely that this thing has not been sent out yet. Your Majesty, let's search the entire yard first."
King Zhao nodded, obviously approving of this plan.
In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, the search was handed over to the people brought by the prince. Ji Yunqing even took the initiative to suggest searching his own room as well.
"master!"
Xuancao was surprised because the master's room never allowed outsiders to enter.
"It's okay. What if that person does the opposite and hides the things in my room?"
If her room is not checked, what if other people also have various reasons to escape the inspection?
On the contrary, even the master’s room has to be checked, let alone a servant?
For her safety, let’s check everything!
Ji Yunqing took out the booklet, pointed out the jewelry that he remembered one by one, and then asked someone to check.
Nanny An and the court physician were also arranged to go and take a look.
But after searching for a long time, there was no trace of the jewelry.
It’s as if those things have disappeared!
How can this be?
Ji Yunqing was very surprised. Could it be that her jewelry was thrown over the wall one by one last night?
Just imagine that the person on the other side of the wall has to come out in the middle of the night, lying on the ground with his butt sticking up, to search for them one by one. That is not easy.
Ji Yunqing walked around the wall but didn't find any traces of footprints.
This is strange.
These are all lands. If people walk on them, how could there not be any traces?
Ji Yunqing thought to himself and just walked around the entire yard.
His eyes wandered around the yard.
Suddenly, Ji Yunqing's gaze fixed on one place.
King Zhao saw this and walked up to her and asked her, "What's wrong? What did you find?"
Ji Yunqing nodded, looking angry: "Your Majesty, look over there, someone dug up my gourd!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the finger and found that the gourd vine was still there.
There are also many small gourds on it, which look very cute.
The master often looked at these small gourds and often said, "Little gourds, grow up quickly. When they grow up, you can eat gourd-filled buns and use them as gourd ladles."
Just as Ji Yunqing was about to explain, there was new movement at the door.
Concubine He, with two maids, held up the hem of her clothes with one hand. When she saw King Zhao, her eyes lit up instantly.
"Your Majesty, what a coincidence, why are you here?"
As she spoke, she stepped over the threshold briskly and swiftly, and ran in front of King Zhao.
A pair of fox eyes looked at King Zhao lovingly, without any awareness that this was actually Ji Yunqing's courtyard.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yunqing had a blank expression on his face.
With such poor acting skills, it would be really weird if she didn't know that King Zhao had come to this courtyard.
"Didn't Concubine He come here to look for me?"
Ji Yunqing looked at Concubine He, her face full of surprise and a hint of hurt.
She murmured, "Concubine He came to see me, but she didn't even look at me. She was only concerned about the prince she "accidentally" met..."
Look, she didn't secretly inquire about King Zhao's movements, but someone did!
King Zhao frowned and looked at the obedient concubine He in front of him: "How did you know that I was here?"
Concubine He never thought that she would encounter such a problem.
In the past at the General's Mansion, didn't Daddy's aunts specifically ask people to inquire about Daddy's movements and wait for him in advance on the route that Daddy had to take?
If someone has the means, they can seduce my dad over with a little bit of trickery.
In this kind of thing, one seduces while the other enjoys it, and they just need to know the truth between them.
Why did King Zhao ask this kind of question?
She stuttered for a moment, finally remembered Ji Yunqing, and looked at her.
"Your Majesty, I came here specifically to look for Sister Ji, but I just happened to meet you, Your Majesty. Sister Ji, you won't mind, right?"
No, Sister Ji actually minds it.
Ji Yunqing thought so in his heart, but he didn't show any aggressiveness on his face. Instead, he took the initiative to ask considerately: "I have never seen Concubine He come to my yard before. Today is a rare guest, how can I not welcome her?
I just don't know why Concubine He came to see me in a hurry without saying hello in advance. Is there something wrong?"
As soon as Concubine He heard that King Zhao was here, she hurried over.
How could she think of anything important?
At this moment, I couldn't think of anything and couldn't help but look at the maid behind me.
Ji Yunqing followed her gaze and looked in that direction, and discovered that one of the maidservants He brought with her today was Cao'er, the maidservant she usually brought with her, and the other was a maidservant who looked unfamiliar.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
It seems that this maid is particularly different to Concubine He.
The maid gestured to her master to go and check the miscellaneous items in the yard that had not been tidied up yet, and Concubine He finally remembered.
"By the way, I actually came to see if Sister Ji needs any help. I heard that you were going to renovate the yard today, so I came to learn from you. I plan to renovate your yard in a few days as well."
"Like This!"
Ji Yunqing touched his chin and suddenly became enthusiastic: "Sister He, you are here at the right time, come on, come on"
……
After a while, the yard became busy again.
Concubine He carried a corner of the eight-immortals table with a confused look on her face and followed the others into the room.
Why does she have to work?
Turning her head to look at Ji Yunqing, she wanted to say that she would quit, but she saw him coming over and his tone was full of encouragement: "Sister He, you have worked hard. Sister He is the best to me. Sister He is kind and considerate. I heard that the prince likes kind and considerate girls!"
King Zhao also looked over and nodded slightly at her.
To be honest, Concubine He didn't quite believe this statement, but when she saw Ji Yunqing squatting beside the vegetable field with a shovel in his hand, ready to start, she began to doubt.
The reason why Ji Yunqing is favored by the prince is because she is good at working?
What if this is true?
She instantly steadied the thing she wanted to throw away, exerted a little force with her hands, and carried the table in by herself.
The maids were stunned for a moment.
This is such a heavy table, and Concubine He can move it just like that?
King Zhao was also a little surprised. He just felt that Concubine He was a little clingy, but he didn't expect that she had this side.
But then I thought again, as expected of a girl from a general's mansion, she is so energetic!
On the contrary, when Ji Yunqing saw this scene, the smile on her face slowly disappeared.
There was only one thing in my mind: She has plenty of strength and means, she has plenty of strength and means.
...If one day she offends someone badly, won’t he just skin her alive?
