Chapter 659
Yunxi was making a knot, with blue, red and gold silk threads weaving and intertwining in her hands.
Upon hearing the news, Yunxi raised an eyebrow: "Keep it yourself. What do they want from you?"
"They said they wanted me to find an opportunity to take you for a stroll in the streets, but I couldn't find out anything more."
At this point, Jixiang felt a little ashamed.
Yunxi didn't seem to mind: "It's nothing. I'm afraid they still can't completely trust you, so it's not surprising that they hold back some things from you."
As she spoke, Yunxi stopped what she was doing: "Since they want us to run into them on our own... I need to go find my mother."
——
"Need guards?"
Yunxi nodded: "Ideally, someone inconspicuous, someone who can blend into the crowd and go out with me."
Zhong Jie frowned: "What exactly are you trying to do, child?"
"My name is Jixiang. I pretended to agree to cooperate with them, thinking I would wipe them out in one fell swoop."
Zhong Jie was shocked: "You child, how could you have such a big idea! Are you going to use yourself as bait? No, no, I won't agree!"
“Mother, you promised me before that I could handle it myself.”
“One thing at a time!” Zhong Jie said, “I’ll give you more help. You can stay at home and cause as much trouble as you want, I won’t care. But if you want to go out on your own, that’s not allowed!”
She had waited more than a decade for her daughter to return. If something had happened to her under her nose, Zhong Jie would never be able to forgive herself.
Yunxi sat a little closer to Zhong Jie, took her arm, and swayed it gently: "Mother..."
This is her way of being affectionate.
Zhong Jie couldn't help but glance at her, then stubbornly turned her head away.
But Yunxi wouldn't give up, and Zhong Jie finally had to back down: "Fine, fine, I'll listen to you! But you'll have to wait two days."
This matter is directly related to Yunxi's safety, so Zhong Jie must carefully select the candidates and not be careless in the slightest.
Yunxi immediately smiled: "Thank you, Mother!"
Zhong Jie was helpless.
But then she thought about how Yunxi could actually act cute towards her now, and a warm feeling washed over Zhong Jie.
“Oh, right,” Yunxi said, flipping her hand and magically producing a tassel tied with a peace knot and a jade pendant. “Mother, this is for you.”
Zhong Jie was taken aback.
The tassel was made of the finest silk thread, and the tiny peace knot was exquisitely crafted. It was woven by Yunxi bit by bit, and it was all her heartfelt effort.
Seeing that Zhong Jie hesitated to accept the gift, Yun Xi pursed her lips and said, "...This thing is indeed not very valuable. I'll go find some more valuable items and give them to Mother."
Actually, Yunxi was a little uneasy when she sent it out.
After all, as the Princess of Yunnan, Zhong Jie had seen all sorts of fine things, and her own tassel was far too worthless.
But just as she was about to put the item away, Zhong Jie had already taken the knot from her hand.
The next moment, Yunxi was also pulled into Zhong Jie's arms.
"To me, this net is the most precious thing. I am very happy, Xi'er, I am really happy."
Zhong Jie's voice was trembling with tears.
Yunxi was slightly taken aback, then carefully raised her hand and hugged Zhong Jie back.
Sensing her closeness, Zhong Jie hugged her tighter, tears welling up in her eyes. Zhong Jie remained silent, afraid that any movement would shatter the tenderness before her.
