Chapter 514
"Yi Si, Ji Mao, Ding You, Zi Hour"
The eight words on the note were written in blood red, which looked particularly creepy.
This is--
Ji Yunqing thought with his not-so-bright brain that this looked like the legendary birth date and time, but he didn't know whose it belonged to?
She silently glanced around at everyone in the yard. Everyone's expression was very natural, but her observation yielded nothing.
Finally she walked into the room, lit a candle, and soon the note was burned up.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know whose birth date it is, and it doesn’t matter even more if you don’t know who put it here. As long as the note is gone, no one can blame her.
After all, this thing was most likely placed here by someone on purpose to slander her.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunqing searched his room thoroughly and finally found a cursed doll under the bed.
There was blood all over it, and there were a lot of silver needles stuck on it. It was scary to look at.
She made herself dirty and covered in dust, and she had no time to tidy herself up, so she had to clean up this thing first.
The key to this kind of thing is to race against time and never delay.
Ji Yunqing counted them and found that there were a total of ninety-nine silver needles densely packed together.
Wow, it really cost a lot of money.
Ji Yunqing stood there, looking left and right, and finally threw the doll back to its original place.
Then he went outside and called the maids, "Little ones, it's time for us to clean up!"
Ji Yunqing did not hide it. She said with a dark face: "You are too careless. Do you know what I found under the tree just now?"
What did you find?
"I found a piece of paper with my birth date written on it, written in blood!"
She looked terrified: "Why has my luck been so bad recently? It turns out I was cursed.
If we have bad luck, we might offend the prince. If we offend the prince, we will fall out of favor. If we fall out of favor, we will be doomed.
If I hadn't been lucky enough to find this thing, everyone in our yard would be doomed, you know?"
Ji Yunqing was extremely heartbroken!
The maids looked at each other.
They did see the concubine take something like a note from under the tree.
Those with sharp eyes could also see the words written on it, but they didn’t know that it was the birth date of the concubine!
Who put this there?
The maids immediately became nervous.
Xuancao even asked directly: "Concubine, are you okay? How is your health? Are you dizzy?"
As she said that, she stepped forward and supported Ji Yunqing to make her feel more comfortable.
Ji Yunqing did not refuse this kindness. She let Xuancao support her and continued in a deep voice: "This note was found under the tree, and in this yard, only people from our yard are there."
She changed the subject: "Why are you still standing there? It's not too late now, go and clean up the yard. If you find anything, be sure to tell me."
"Mammy, go and make the arrangements, but be sure to pay close attention."
Ji Yunqing covered his forehead and said, "Oh no, I feel a little dizzy. Maybe it's because of the note. It's so uncomfortable."
This made Xuancao very anxious, and she quickly helped Ji Yunqing into the room.
"Concubine, please lie down here first. I will go and ask the palace doctor to come over."
"What's the please? No thanks."
Ji Yunqing sat up and said, "The court doctor doesn't understand this kind of curse."
"Then what did the master ask for?" Xuancao asked tentatively, "Should we ask for a Taoist priest? Or a monk?"
Ji Yunqing looked at her helplessly: "...Go and invite the prince."
Xuancao understood immediately: "Master, you are right. When encountering such a big thing, we should ask the prince for help."
Ji Yunqing said: "...The prince has a strong yang energy"
In any case, if she encountered such a thing, she would definitely ask someone to come over.
She needed a witness to prove that she had done nothing wrong. If anything was found out, it would be others who were slandering her.
King Zhao is the best candidate.
Hearing the master's answer, Hemerocallis reacted for a moment, then nodded heavily, looking at her master with admiration.
"Master is really thoughtful. If the prince comes, he will definitely be able to dispel those ominous things."
Hemerocallis acted quickly, and Ji Yunqing was lucky that King Zhao happened to be free at that moment.
After waiting in the room for a while, I soon heard steady footsteps outside the room.
As soon as King Zhao stepped into the room, he saw a woman lying on the bed, looking listless.
Hearing his movement, she opened her eyes, moved her body by the head of the bed, and looked at him pitifully.
Those eyes that always sparkled in the past, now shed two tears with just a blink.
It looked pitiful and cute.
"Your Majesty..."
Ji Yunqing spoke with a soft tone, like a kitten acting coquettishly.
As soon as she opened her mouth, King Zhao came back to his senses and strode in.
"How is Yunqing? Is he scared?"
King Zhao had already heard what happened on the way. Although he found it funny that the other party could be frightened by a piece of paper,
But at this moment, he leaned down slightly and reached out to touch Ji Yunqing's cheek lovingly.
I touched her forehead and it felt cool, not hot. Maybe she was just scared.
So he withdrew his hand.
But as soon as he moved, Ji Yunqing reacted strongly.
She quickly grabbed the hand of King Zhao and pouted in dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, you don't know how terrible it was at that time. I'm afraid I was really affected."
As he spoke, Ji Yunqing touched his forehead, rubbed his temples, and finally covered his chest.
"I haven't had a moment of peace since I got that note"
King Zhao was puzzled. When he arrived, he saw Ji Yunqing lying on the bed. He was not seriously injured and could speak and move, with his hands and feet being very nimble.
Looking closely at his complexion, his cheeks are rosy and shiny, and his qi and blood are abundant. He couldn't be better!
So he asked, "Why are you not at peace?"
It would have been fine if he hadn’t asked, but as soon as he asked, Ji Yunqing became excited: “Your Highness, you don’t know, ever since I got that note, what a guy!
My whole body turned cold, and I thought someone must be cursing me.
After that, I always felt like I was going to fall down as soon as I stood up. Someone must be cursing me.
Even now, as I lie in bed, I still feel a tightness in my chest. Someone must be the one who is killing me!"
After finishing the whole speech, he sounded like a patient with terminal cancer of feudal superstition.
After Ji Yunqing finished speaking, she silently felt heartbroken for her shameful behavior for several seconds. She was really depraved now!
Ugh!
King Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at her. The coldness in his hands and feet after receiving the note was a psychological effect, and the feeling of falling down was also an illusion. As for the tightness in his chest while lying on the bed -
King Zhao silently went to open the window of the room.
Fresh air suddenly rushed in.
"feel better now?"
Ji Yunqing: “… much better”
She was a little embarrassed, so she turned her head very naturally, "Xuancao, I don't need you to serve here anymore, please go out first!"
Hemerocallis responded respectfully: "Yes"
No one dared to be disrespectful in front of King Zhao.
Soon, King Zhao and she were the only ones left in the room.
Ji Yunqing suddenly jumped up from the bed and stepped on the ground with his feet without even wearing shoes.
Before King Zhao could frown and stop her, Ji Yunqing patted his arm vigorously.
"Hurry, hurry, my lord, there is something dirty under my bed, take it out!"
dirty stuff?
King Zhao lowered his eyes, and most of his attention was focused on her feet.
He said in a deep voice: "Put on your shoes first."
"Oh"
Ji Yunqing then found her shoes beside the bed. They were the ones she had taken off when she went to bed just now. But now her expression struggled for a moment, and finally she looked at King Zhao timidly.
"Your Majesty, I dare not, these shoes are too close to the bed!"
In the end, King Zhao gave her the shoes and asked her to put them on.
After everything was ready, King Zhao opened the door and let Eunuch Shi in.
Seeing King Zhao's series of actions, Ji Yunqing instantly understood.
How could the always noble King Zhao possibly be like her, crawling under the bed with his butt sticking up to look for something?
She is shallow.
Eunuch Shi was called in and was still puzzled.
The two masters are in the room, why are they asking him to come over?
Could it be that they wanted to ask him to come over and add to the fun?
Although he had heard that some families did not mind having servants present when they were having sex with their daughters, and some would even ask servants to help.
But the prince never likes this kind of thing.
Eunuch Shi's head was full of dirty thoughts, which finally remained in his mind.
As soon as he entered the room, he was ordered to stick his butt out, lie down under the bed, and get things in a very awkward manner.
Eunuch Shi: “…”
Got the stuff!
When Eunuch Shi took it out, he was shocked.
That's why this thing pricks my hand. It seems like it's covered with silver needles.
He handed the thing to Concubine Ji. How could the prince touch such a dirty thing?
Even a quick glance at her would make her look so ugly that even the prince would be ashamed.
In response to Eunuch Shi's heartwarming gesture, Ji Yunqing waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no, don't give it to me, I don't want it"
She looked at King Zhao and complained directly: "Your Majesty, look, I found this thing after I found the note.
No wonder I always feel a chill in my body when I enter this room recently.
I always hear the faint sound of a child crying in my dreams. It turns out someone is cursing me!"
She accused passionately: "This thing looks scary, take it away quickly, take it away," rejecting the ginseng fruit in the style of Tang Monk.
Seeing how scared she was, King Zhao patted her soothingly and said in a deep voice:
"I will take it away right now. Tell me how you found this thing? Besides you, who else knows about this?"
“I’m the only one who knows”
Ji Yunqing recalled honestly: "I found the note under the tree"
She pointed to the big osmanthus tree outside.
"Then I was so scared that I just wanted to go into the house and burn the thing."
As she spoke, she looked at the eight-immortals table in the room, on which there was a burning candle.
There were indeed traces of burnt paper nearby.
"After the fire was over, I thought it was unsafe, so I thought about looking in this room as well, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully at night."
"And it turns out that there is..."
Ji Yunqing hid behind King Zhao and pointed at the doll in Eunuch Shi's hand with his chin: "It's really a reward.
I took it out and looked at it. I was so scared that I threw it back immediately. I didn’t even tell Daylily. The first thing I wanted to do was tell the prince.”
King Zhao was pleased with her behavior of taking the initiative to seek him out whenever she encountered problems.
But he was still a little confused: "Why only search this room and not other places?"
“I’m looking for other places.”
Ji Yunqing looked outside: "The maids outside are looking for it, haven't you noticed, Your Majesty?"
King Zhao then realized what those maids were busy doing when he saw them outside when he arrived. So that's what was going on.
Eunuch Shi also nodded.
King Zhao suddenly asked, "What exactly is written on that piece of paper?"
"It's Eulmi"
Ok?
Ji Yunqing said two words, and suddenly raised his head, realizing something was wrong:
"Why is Your Majesty asking this?" Is he suspecting that she staged this drama herself?
Are you deliberately deceiving her?
God has eyes, she didn't do anything!
King Zhao nodded: "There is indeed a problem!"
Ji Yunqing quickly spoke up for himself: "I didn't lie to you"
This time, King Zhao looked at her with an unnatural look in his eyes.
Ji Yunqing became even more flustered.
"I'm not, I didn't lie..."
But King Zhao said firmly: "This is not your birthday at all!"
"what?"
Ji Yunqing suddenly raised his head: "It's not mine? Why would it be buried in my yard if it's not mine?"
King Zhao: "...Is it possible that this is to frame you?"
"But there really is a birth date!"
"That birth date is not yours"
Facing Ji Yunqing's surprised look, King Zhao reluctantly explained to her: "Yulsi is this year"
How did Ji Yunqing's father do it? Didn't he even teach his daughter the most basic knowledge?
But...this year?
King Zhao's eyes shone, and his voice became completely cold: "Tell me what's written on the note!"
"I wrote Yi Si, Jimao, um... I forgot the rest."
"Is it Dingyou Zishi?"
"Yes, yes, it seems so."
King Zhao's eyes became even colder. This was the birth date of the child adopted by the princess this year.
The child had been ill recently. It was common for young children to fall ill, but if someone found this note, or another voodoo doll...
So, based on the woman in front of him, King Zhao set his sights on Ji Yunqing.
Ji Yunqing noticed the gaze and looked at him blankly, as if asking, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
Dumb and silly.
Fortunately, she is not the type who has big ideas, and she knows to look for him when she encounters problems.
There was a cold look in King Zhao's eyes and eyebrows.
He just wanted to confirm the legitimate son, but some people are really impatient!
At this time, Eunuch Shi finally couldn't help it and mustered up the courage to ask: "My Lord, this thing..."
But he still holds this horrible thing in his hand!
Is there anyone coming to rescue him?
Ji Yunqing quickly said: "Put it aside, don't hold it."
King Zhao then said: "Open this thing and take a look inside"
What if there is something poisonous inside, and who knows how long it has been in this room...
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
Eunuch Shi followed his instructions and performed an autopsy on the baby on the spot.
Finally, a long strand of hair was found inside the doll's body, as well as a green brocade bag containing a string of blood-red beads.
It doesn't look normal at first glance.
Eunuch Shi didn't dare to take it with his hands. He just took a quick look and put it away.
Watching Eunuch Shi tidily clean up the stall, he carefully packed up the silver needles without leaving any behind.
Ji Yunqing said thriftily: "I think this needle is pretty good, it looks like an ordinary silver needle, otherwise leave it to me and use it for sewing and mending things."
Prince Zhao/Eunuch Shi: ...
"Didn't the prince ask me to make clothes for you last time?"
King Zhao did not hesitate: "Take all these away!"
