Chapter 142 Ji Chenyuan's Suspicion
No, no, no! There must be a way!
"Oh, right! Lord Si Yu also said that it was fortunate that your blood saved the last bit of his soul from being devoured, Princess. He also said that he would look for you when you find the Mysterious Ice Flower."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying heaved a sigh of relief. As long as her soul was saved, it was good enough.
However, she didn't expect that her blood would be so effective on him!
The Holy Land? She would definitely go find him.
Finally, we learned from Yingyue that Yin Han and Wuxin had returned to the Holy Continent, while Yingyue stayed in Cangming Continent to protect her.
The large formation in the Imperial Master's Mansion was activated only to conceal the truth, and the ultimate goal was actually to protect her.
After saying goodbye to Yingyue, Ji Jiuying returned to Ji's house. As soon as she entered the house, she ran into Ji Chenyuan who was about to go out.
When Ji Chenyuan saw Ji Jiuying coming in from outside, he was stunned for a moment!
"Jiuer, haven't you been in the yard the whole time? When did you go out?" Ji Chenyuan asked with a smile, but the doubt in his eyes could not escape Ji Jiuying's eyes.
"Dad, I just slipped out from the back not long ago. Jiuer hasn't eaten osmanthus cake for a long time, so I went out and bought some!" Ji Jiuying shook the osmanthus cake in her hand.
Although Ji Chenyuan still had some doubts in his heart, the person was right in front of him and he had to believe it.
"Jiuer, if you want to eat in the future, just ask the servants to come. Why bother running all the way yourself!" Ji Chenyuan said earnestly.
"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. My daughter hasn't seen what the first day of the Lunar New Year in Kyoto looks like for a long time!" Ji Jiuying said with a smile.
Ji Chenyuan felt a little guilty when he heard this, recalling that she was always alone in Lihe Courtyard during the New Year in previous years.
"Okay, okay. Go if you want to! But remember to bring a few maids with you." Ji Chenyuan said.
"Okay, thank you Dad. Jiuer will go back first!" The moment Ji Jiuying turned around, she retracted the smile on her face, as if the sweet smile just now was just an illusion, and went straight to Qinglan Courtyard.
Ji Chenyuan looked at her receding back and also retracted his kind smile. Just as he was about to go out, he turned around and went back to the study!
"Qingling! I'm back and I bought your favorite osmanthus cake!" Ji Jiuying shouted.
Qing Ling in the room ran out happily and hugged Ji Jiuying excitedly, "Miss, you're back! I was scared to death when I didn't see you so early in the morning!"
"Let's go inside and eat some osmanthus cake!" Ji Jiuying winked at Qing Ling.
"Thank you, Miss!" Qing Ling pulled Ji Jiuying into the house, closed the doors and windows, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ji Jiuying still lying on the bed!
However, this scene frightened the shadow guard in the dark. What was going on? He had not left for a single step, let alone seen the young lady leave the house.
He suppressed his doubts and stepped back.
"Miss! You're finally back! You don't know how scared I was last night!"
Not long after she flew out of the yard last night, she wanted to take a peek to see if the Imperial Master had left, but she only saw the young lady watching the fireworks alone on the rooftop.
Who would have thought that as soon as she got close to the lady, she found that something was wrong with the person in front of her. She thought of something and had to pull the "lady" into the room to sleep.
Ji Jiuying chuckled, "It seems Qing Ling is not that stupid!"
"Humph~ I haven't stayed with you for so long in vain." Qing Ling said proudly, "By the way, Miss, the second young lady came here last night and sneakily let the butterfly in."
Qing Ling said angrily that the second young lady was so bad. Fortunately, after hearing what the young lady said last night, she paid special attention to the second young lady's every move. In order not to alert the enemy, she could only let her do what she wanted. Fortunately, the one lying there was the fake young lady.
Hearing this, Ji Jiuying came to the bedside and used her spiritual power to lift the butterfly out from between the puppet's eyebrows. Unexpectedly, it was still alive. Ji Jiuying put it away in a container.
Qing Ling was frightened when she saw this. "Miss, what should we do with this butterfly?"
"Of course it's a return to Ji Fengyan~" Ji Jiuying said with a smile.
Qing Ling nodded. This way, she could know who was the person who framed the second young lady for Shuang Die Lian! The young lady was so smart!
As for the Second Miss, hmph! She was looking forward to it!
In the study room.
The more Ji Chenyuan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. How could An Yu not know that she had gone out and not report it?
At this time, a man in black came up to Ji Chenyuan and knelt down, "General!"
"An Yu, let me ask you, has there been anything unusual with the young lady from last night to now?" Ji Chenyuan asked.
"General, I have also discovered a strange phenomenon. I am sure that the young lady has not left the yard at all, but she just came back from outside~" An Yu thought about it carefully.
Ji Chenyuan stood up with a bang, "What did you say? Even you didn't notice it!"
"Yes, I'm sure she never left the yard." An Yu replied affirmatively. "General, the second lady came here last night. She seemed to have placed something in the window and left!"
Ji Chenyuan frowned slightly, "What is Yan'er doing now? Didn't we tell her to calm down first? Why are you provoking her again!"
"The distance is too far, I can't see clearly!"
"Okay, you go back and continue to watch." Ji Chenyuan's brows were twisted into a knot. This Ji Jiu was really difficult to control.
Ji Chenyuan came to Luoxiangyuan.
"General, didn't you go out? Why are you back again? Did something happen?" Zhou Haiping asked when he saw Ji Chenyuan coming here with a worried look on his face.
"Madam, is Yan'er in the yard?" Ji Chenyuan asked.
"Yes." Zhou Haiping replied, "Yan'er, open the door, your father wants to see you!"
Zhou Haiping came to Ji Fengyan's door and knocked.
Upon hearing this, Ji Fengyan in the room quickly put away the butterfly, opened the door and asked, "Mom, Dad, you're looking for me!"
Ji Chenyuan and Zhou Haiping walked into Ji Fengyan's room, stared at her with scrutinizing eyes and asked, "Yan'er, where did you go last night?"
When Ji Fengyan heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, "Dad, I was in my room the whole time last night!"
"Yan'er~you don't have to lie to me. I already know that you went to Qinglan Courtyard last night. Let me ask you, what did you put into Ji Jiuying's room!" Ji Chenyuan said directly.
Seeing this, Ji Fengyan knew she couldn't hide it any longer, "Dad, I... I... I just let a butterfly in, and that butterfly is not poisonous!"
"Yan'er, are you serious?" Zhou Haiping asked.
"Hmm~" Ji Fengyan nodded aggrievedly.
"Then Dad wants to ask you, did you see her when you went to her room last night?" Ji Chenyuan asked again.
Ji Fengyan recalled, "I saw her sleeping on the bed!"
Hearing this, Ji Chenyuan became even more confused. He couldn't figure out what was going on. Could she have managed to escape without being seen by the shadow guards?
