Chapter 21 A thief climbed through the window at midnight



After searching for so long, he finally found it!

Qi Moli threw down the teacup, raised his eyebrows, and ordered: "Go to the prince's mansion and invite the prince to come over for a chat!"

He is the youngest son of the late emperor, a full thirty years younger than the current emperor. He lost his mother at a young age and grew up with the old empress dowager.

However, he is of the same age as the current crown prince, grew up together, and has a very good relationship with him.

Soon the prince's carriage drove directly into the palace from the side door of Prince Mo Ying's palace.

"Uncle Ninth Prince, how come you have time to invite your nephew here today?" Crown Prince Qi Nanyuan walked into Qi Moli's study, sat down on the armchair without any hesitation, and asked with a smile.

Qi Moli held the brush dipped in ink and wrote a word. He then glanced at Qi Nanyuan and said unhappily, "I asked you to come here because I have something to discuss with you!"

Qi Nanyuan stretched his neck and saw the word "囍" written on the rice paper. He laughed and said, "So that's what it is! Nephew congratulates Uncle Wang! Congratulations..."

Before he could finish, his uncle Wang gave him a cold look and said, "General Si Junshan will be returning to the capital tomorrow. I'm deeply poisoned and it's not convenient for me to go to the palace. Please go there for me."

The uncle and nephew discussed in the study for a full half hour before Qi Moli let Qi Nanyuan leave the house with satisfaction.

Rather than someone else, it’s better to be her!

Qi Moli's mind flashed with the stubborn look of the girl standing in the rain yesterday, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

Bai Xi looked at the smile on the corner of his master's mouth and couldn't help but shudder. What medicine did his master take wrong?

When has the King of Hell on the battlefield ever had such a warm smile?

What on earth had just happened in the study? Bai Xi scratched his head, unable to figure it out.

Sifu, Pear Blossom Garden.

"Get out! Get out!" followed by the sound of porcelain smashing to the ground.

This was already the fifth set of teacups that Zhou had smashed today. Smashing just a few teacups was not enough to relieve the hatred in his heart.

She knew without thinking that the embarrassing incident she had in the backyard this morning had probably spread throughout the general's mansion! She had lost face even before her mother's birth!

It’s all that damn girl’s fault, she’s such a jinx!

As soon as she returned home, she caused so much trouble!

Si Jinyue looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, sighed slightly, and said comfortingly:

"Mother, calm down! Too many people know about this, there's no need to rush.

After some time, we can replace them bit by bit. As for those people, there are naturally many ways to make them keep this matter to themselves!"

The doctor examined Zhou's diarrhea and said it was caused by eating something unclean.

But Zhou said that what he ate was what he usually ate and there was nothing unusual.

Si Jinyue also suspected that this matter was related to Si Jinxing, but her mother also said that Suihuayuan was locked last night and was not opened until the morning of Mao.

It was the morning of a summer day, and the sky was already bright. The maids and servants in the mansion were already busy, so the girl had no chance to do anything.

And that old lady...

All these strange things happened after the girl returned home, which made people suspicious, but they could not find any evidence!

"But what if she doesn't agree to this marriage? Are you really going to let your third sister marry the dying Ninth Prince?" Zhou stammered and vomited for most of the day, her face turning pale, but she was still worried about her daughter's lifelong event.

"What we should do now..." Si Jinyue leaned close to Zhou's ear and whispered something.

"This... this matter must be handled with caution!" Zhou nodded secretly, but she also reminded him worriedly: "Don't be careless, just trick her once."

If it weren't for the fact that keeping that girl alive would be of use, there would be no need to go to so much trouble.

If she wants to die, she has to wait until she marries the Ninth Queen, otherwise, her daughter will marry her!

Absolutely not!

She should pave the way for herself and her children just like her biological mother did.

Zhou and Si Jinyue discussed it in detail before they felt at ease. They asked Mama Liu to have someone clean up all the broken porcelain pieces in the room.

In Heyun Courtyard, the old lady held a small bottle of medicine in her hand, a smile on her face as she said, "Our Xing'er is truly talented! She made such a good medicine!"

After the old lady fainted in the backyard of Lihua Garden in the morning, the servants in the mansion quickly went to call a doctor.

When the doctor arrived, the old lady had already returned to her Heyunyuan.

She still remembered what the doctor said. If she hadn't taken medicine in time to control her condition after dizziness, it would have been difficult for her to wake up for a while.

She also wanted to ask Si Jinxing for some of this medicine that was not bitter and worked quickly, but she didn't know how to ask.

Unexpectedly, the second girl eagerly brought a bottle after lunch.

Si Jinxing pursed her lips and smiled. The concentrated medicine in her previous life was not made by her.

She looked at the satisfaction in the old lady's eyes, and felt a little more contempt in her heart. She only gave a good face to people who were useful to her!

"I just thought about not being able to fulfill my filial duties to my grandmother in the past two years, so I secretly studied medicine. Yesterday, I gave my grandmother medicine out of desperation. Now that she's feeling well, I'm relieved."

The old lady cherishes her life the most. Whenever she suffers from vertigo, she feels really uncomfortable. She has to drink the bitter medicine soup every day, which she really doesn't want to do.

Now that he had this good medicine, he naturally treasured it tightly and kept saying, "Good, it tastes good!"

Si Jinxing reminded the old lady how to use the medicine, then said goodbye and returned to her own yard.

At dinner time, Si Jinxing looked at the six dishes on the table and couldn't help laughing. Are you starting to curry favor with me?

It seems that the Ninth Prince is really useless?

She had to find a way to go out as soon as possible, find out the situation of the Ninth Prince, and make preparations in advance.

She invited Luzhu and Yanfei to have dinner together, and then strolled around the yard for a few times before returning to her room.

From yesterday to today, she hasn't had a good rest for two days. Since she has nothing to do tonight, Si Jinxing plans to go to bed early.

But sometimes, the more sleepy you are and the more you want to sleep, the more you can’t fall asleep.

Si Jinxing tossed and turned, and finally gave up struggling. She admitted that she really had insomnia!

She turned over and sat up, ready to put on her coat and go to the yard to chat with Yan Fei, who was on night watch, and watch the moon.

However, before she got out of bed, she heard a rustling sound coming from the yard.

Si Jinxing has a more acute hearing than others. The corners of her lips curled up beautifully. It seems that a thief has come to the door!

She put on her clothes quietly and hid by the door under the cover of night.

The window frame was opened, making a loud creaking noise, breaking the silence of the night.

The movement at the window stopped for a moment, and then heavy breathing sounds were heard...

Even climbing through a window is so difficult, and your master actually expects you to be a thief?!

Si Jinxing, who was hiding, glanced over coldly in the moonlight and saw a black shadow climbing in from the window!
