[Host, with your personality, how can you possibly grow taller successfully?]
Why not? Are you underestimating me?
She's very determined; who knows, she might accidentally reach 170cm, which is the height she wants.
[Host, danger! Run!] Xiangxiang had just shouted when she heard a sound.
"Bang!" The doors and windows were kicked open, and a masked man rushed in from outside.
[Holy crap...who is this?]
The other party wanted to knock her unconscious, so Ji Yingying grabbed a blue and white porcelain piece and smashed it into the other party's abdomen.
"Help! Someone come quick!"
Bang
The door was broken, and Rong Er rushed in. Rong Yi was still dealing with things in the alley of Lianhua Hutong, so it was Rong Er's turn to be on duty today.
And let me tell you, Rong Er is also very handsome; he's the tough guy type, and he's cool.
After subduing the man in black, he committed suicide by poisoning himself; he appears to be a suicide squad member.
Is this another instance of someone taking a bullet for the Emperor?
No, he came specifically for you.
"What? Who? Who is it?!" he roared angrily, then calmed down and said, "Is it the mastermind behind this child murder case?"
No, they were all beheaded. Your detective brother can tell the difference just by looking at them.
Who is this person?
Think about who you've offended.
Ji Yingying thought about it carefully, but couldn't figure it out!
I don't think I've offended anyone.
Yes, you offended Princess Qi, and she hired someone to kill you. You also offended the shopkeeper you dealt with; he wished you dead too, but unfortunately, it was you who died. Also, when we first arrived in the capital, we offended someone.
[Oh yeah, halfway there I yelled at someone. Oh dear, I apologized afterwards. If he hadn't bullied that girl like that, I wouldn't have yelled at him.]
They were passing by a restaurant, intending to stop for a meal and stay overnight, when a bodyguard started beating and cursing the mother and daughter. Passersby were watching the spectacle.
Ji Yingying also went over to see what was happening. She couldn't stand the bodyguard beating and scolding the two people, so she intervened.
Anyway, she angered the bodyguard so much that he ran away. As for what happened to the mother and daughter afterward, she didn't know.
I never expected to be assassinated today, by the assassin hired by that bodyguard.
[Host, I told you back then that person was petty and narrow-minded, like a venomous snake waiting for its chance to strike. Once it sets its sights on you, it will take your life. I advised you not to meddle in other people's business.]
I can't stand that bastard bullying the weak. And that child, she's so wonderful. If she were born in China, she would be peacefully studying at school, pampered by her parents.
Unlike now, when we can't even get enough to eat.
"Rong Er, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Okay, you can handle it. Find another bodyguard named Tie Datou. He should be the one he arranged."
"yes"
[Host, I think that bodyguard is no ordinary person.]
Why?
I've located the source of his scandal, and it's no longer a small one, but a major one.
Tell me quickly, what's the juicy gossip?
He has poison on him. We must catch him quickly, or he will poison the well, and many people will die because of his poison.
[Time and place.]
[Uncertain. Xiangxiang doesn't quite remember what the person looked like, and it might not even be that person, but someone definitely poisoned the public well.]
Ji Yingying couldn't sit still any longer.
"Rong Er" ran out of the room, and Ji Yingying shouted into the air. She herself was not sure if Rong Er had gone far.
If she goes too far away, then she...
"I'm here."
"You didn't leave? Perfect! Help me think of a solution quickly. I need to get into the palace. Someone has poisoned the public wells. This is no small matter."
Rong Er immediately squatted down: "I have offended you. I will carry you into the palace."
Ji Yingying didn't stand on ceremony and went straight for his back.
His speed was extremely fast, which allowed Ji Yingying to witness the speed of light-body skills.
It used to take 20 to 30 minutes to get to the palace, but now it only takes 15 minutes to get to the Imperial Study.
That's too fast.
I've suddenly fallen in love with Rong Er. The speed at which he entered the palace is amazing! I love it so much! I really wish Rong Er could be mine.
Upon hearing this, Rong Er nearly fell over.
He wouldn't dare, and besides, how old is she to even think about this...? This isn't a good thing.
[Host, please accept this. First, there was the story of collecting all seven Dragon Balls to summon Shenron; now, Ji Yingying has collected all seven handsome men to summon a home. How wonderful!]
[You're overthinking it. I don't want that. I just want him to take me to the palace when I go there, so I don't have to ride in a carriage every day and my butt hurts.]
It's alright, the old man is pushing the cart...
Don't say that, have some shame~
Those inside heard the noise outside and knew that Ji Yingying had entered the palace. The Emperor quickly ordered Eunuch Cao to go out and bring the girl in.
"Oh, Eunuch Cao, I was just looking for you, and here you are! We're really on the same wavelength."
"Oh my, it is my good fortune to be able to share a tacit understanding with Lord Ji."
"Eunuch Cao, please tell the Emperor that I'm here and it's urgent," Ji Yingying whispered furtively, her stealthiness making it seem like she was about to do something earth-shattering.
"His Majesty also knows that Lord Ji has arrived, and has instructed me to come out and invite Lord Ji in."
"Huh? When did Your Majesty become a mind reader?"
Eunuch Cao remained silent, smiled at her, and led her inside. Before Ji Yingying could even kneel down to pay her respects, the Emperor excused her from doing so.
"Ji San, from now on you are exempt from kneeling when you see me."
Ji Yingying's eyes widened: "Doggy, do you think the Emperor has become human again? Or is he possessed by a ghost?"
The Emperor: ...Why doesn't Ji San understand him? It's because she often talks about kneeling to heaven, earth, and parents, and he feels sorry for her and makes her not kneel. He even said that she was...possessed by a ghost. This Ji San needs to be cured.
Ji Cailiang and his wife need to be given a good beating.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Hey, Your Majesty, you're so kind!"
Those discussing matters nearby couldn't help but roll their eyes at her. Only she was so capable that she could get the Emperor to exempt her from kneeling.
"Your Majesty, does that mean I won't have to kneel before anyone anymore?"
"right"
Wow, this old man suddenly seems much more pleasing to the eye. As long as he doesn't give me trouble, he's really much more handsome. He truly deserves the title of handsome old man; he's even more handsome than my dad.
"Ahem~" The Emperor immediately sat up straight. Of course, didn't he think about who he was? How could he not look good?
"Your Majesty, I... I entered the palace by chance after receiving a message saying that someone... I don't know where they poisoned people, and the death toll is very high."
"Surely the Emperor will believe me if I say this?"
I don't know, you didn't provide a specific address.
【Then give me a specific address! Talk is cheap.】
【I didn't. I only found out someone poisoned the body when I saw it. But we met that person once before. Your face blindness is so severe, if you can't remember, I certainly can't.】
"Who escorted you to the palace?" the Emperor asked. He knew that Rong Yi had gone to Lotus Alley today.
