Chapter 234
Time passed quickly, and Prince Zhao's mansion became peaceful ever since Ruirui, the youngest in the mansion, had her birthday banquet.
Not very peaceful actually.
Not long after, King Zhao suddenly came to the Osmanthus Courtyard.
Staring at Ji Yunqing with a weird look.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Ji Yunqing felt puzzled: "My Lord, what am I hiding from you?"
"Where are the letters?"
"letter?"
Ji Yunqing suddenly realized and ran straight to the study.
Eunuch Shi stood at the door and was about to stop them.
Ji Yunqing pushed it away.
"Don't get in the way, I'm busy."
King Zhao followed closely behind him, left the room, and went to the study.
I opened the door and watched Ji Yunqing rummaging through the drawers to look for it.
"It's just a few letters. Is it necessary to hide them so carefully?"
Ji Yunqing didn't even turn his head back: "We found it soon, I was worried about being discovered"
Who will find out that “No one comes here on weekdays”?
Don't think he doesn't know that Ji Yunqing always cleans her study room herself, and even Xuancao rarely comes in.
However, Ji Yunqing never eats in the study, nor does he throw anything around. Usually, only a few books would be a bit messy.
Daylily comes in regularly to clean the dust off the bookshelves.
Apart from Ji Yunqing, only Prince Zhao could come in at any time.
Thinking of this, King Zhao looked grim.
"Who are you guarding against?"
"what?"
Ji Yunqing didn't know that King Zhao was thinking so much. She thought, what if there were spies sent by someone else? If she didn't keep it safe, what if she was discovered by others? Wouldn't it cause a big trouble?
Finally, Ji Yunqing took out a book and found what King Zhao wanted in it.
"Your Highness, these were sent to me by someone else. It said that it was from my former fiancé—"
King Zhao interrupted her and said, "What fiancé do you have? You still remember it so clearly."
Ji Yunqing changed his words: "This letter says that it was written to me by the nephew of my father's wife, but I don't believe it."
"You trust him so much?"
King Zhao remembered that he had once seen the thin scholar in the back mountain of Wanxiang Temple. At that time, the scholar wanted to seduce Ji Shi deliberately.
He frowned: "That man looks like a vixen. You can tell at a glance that he is not a law-abiding person."
Ji Yunqing didn't know how King Zhao came to this conclusion, but she objected to it in her heart.
Why aren't you being law-abiding?
You'll be scared to death if I tell you this, but that guy gave birth to eight children in one go a while ago, and they all became concubines. Isn't that enough for him to be obedient?
"Your Highness, let's not talk about these people. I haven't seen him since I entered the mansion. How could he write to me as the distant nephew of my father's wife? Someone must be deliberately causing trouble."
"I'm still keeping it because I don't know what caused the trouble yet, so I don't dare to destroy it, for fear that one day you will suspect that I am guilty."
"You know, I only have you in my heart, Your Majesty. I am afraid that I will make a wrong move and make you dissatisfied with me. Look, it is time to use it now."
King Zhao's expression softened a lot: "How could I possibly doubt you?"
As he spoke, he took the letter and opened it neatly.
When he saw the thickness of the letters and discovered when he took them in his hands that they had been read by someone before, and perhaps even read word for word, the corners of his lips drooped.
Ji Yunqing looked at him sideways, secretly curling his lips as he looked at him.
Didn’t you say you believed it?
Believe me, are you still watching?
A dog man only knows how to coax people with words.
But Ji Yunqing didn't feel guilty.
After reading these letters, the corners of King Zhao's lips gradually drooped.
His face gradually became gloomy.
Seeing his grim expression, Ji Yunqing also became nervous and wanted to tilt his head to look at the words on the paper.
In fact, she had read the contents above and thought there was nothing worth paying attention to.
As for this cuckolded look?
"What's written on it?"
King Zhao was very dissatisfied, saying things like "I miss your beautiful face deeply", "your willow-like waist sways gently", and "your cherry lips are so adorable that I want to take a sip and linger on."
Ji Yunqing blinked: "Your Majesty, don't you like it?"
She wondered, weren't the ones she copied last time even more explicit than this?
The prince didn’t say he didn’t like it!
King Zhao glared at her in dissatisfaction. What was she talking about?
Would I like others to seduce my woman?
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Ji Yunqing hurriedly coaxed him: "I said the wrong thing, it's my fault"
King Zhao held a thick stack of letters in his hand and began to question her: "How could my beloved concubine be so unpromising? If you were unpromising, would someone write these things specifically for you? And write so many!"
It’s almost like writing his name as a green-haired turtle.
Ji Yunqing quickly clarified, "Your Majesty, this is what I think"
She thought to herself that she couldn't provoke anyone and quickly confessed the truth.
"I thought that if someone took the trouble to send me a letter, there must be a reason. If I don't accept it, something even more outrageous might happen.
So I thought, let’s wait and see what the other party wants to do!”
"That's a very reasonable and well-reasoned statement." King Zhao snorted. "If you are willing, give this letter to me and I will solve it myself."
There wouldn't be so many annoying letters.
King Zhao just checked the number and found that there are seventeen letters in total.
Whenever King Zhao read these seventeen letters, his eyes glowed green.
Ji Yunqing held King Zhao's hand and hummed.
"Your Majesty, I am actually very sad. I have wanted to tell you directly many times, but I didn't dare to. I was afraid that Your Majesty would misunderstand me.
But I have figured it out now. No matter how the prince learned that I received these letters, I admit my fault and accept the punishment. After all, it was my fault that I did not handle it properly. I should have told the prince as soon as possible."
As she spoke, she looked at King Zhao cautiously.
When I saw that the other party didn't look surprised when he heard the news of "receiving these letters", I knew that someone must have told the prince.
who is it?
Who is that person?
Ji Yunqing lowered her eyes and thought, wondering what she should do next.
After this incident, King Zhao would inevitably become suspicious of her and would most likely ignore her for a while.
——King Zhao’s character is that he cannot tolerate anyone hiding things from him.
He could tell the truth, and even if Ji Yunqing asked him for money directly, King Zhao would not be angry. But once he found out that she was hiding something, the matter would be different.
No matter what purpose the person behind this is, this alone is enough to make Ji Yunqing's claws numb.
After a little thought, Ji Yunqing took the initiative to say: "My Lord, please put me in solitary confinement!"
King Zhao looked down at her.
Ji Yunqing's thick and curly eyelashes trembled, and she seemed a little nervous.
She pursed her pale lips and continued.
"I will stay in the yard and miss you, my lord.
The person who wrote the letter will definitely take further action when he finds out that I am under house arrest. When the time comes, you can find a way to find the person and you can rest assured."
