Chapter 212 Preparing to Close the Net
Ye Xiaoman broke her leg, and her fellow disciples came to ask about her well-being.
The eldest sister said distressedly: "You are not allowed to play with the communication magic tool while walking in the future. I have told you so many times not to play with the magic tool while walking, but you just won't listen. Come to me before going to bed tonight, and I will apply the plaster I bought at a high price from Lingbao Mountain..."
The eldest sister muttered to herself, and the other disciples stared at the food on the table, their mouths watering, "So many good things."
Xiao Chujing smiled and put all the food into his storage bag. "These are gifts from my junior sister. I won't give them to you. I'll treat everyone to a meal another day."
"Tsk, Junior Brother Xiao is so stingy."
Everyone laughed and joked for a while, and then Xiao Chujing went to be on duty. The other fellow disciples also played the role of palace servants, scattered to various palaces and halls, and carried out undercover missions.
In the end, only the eldest and third sisters were left. They were assigned to clean the Yihua Hall.
Before leaving, Xiao Chujing told Ye Xiaoman: "My patrol location is not far from your palace, so I can come to see you from time to time."
Ye Xiaoman couldn't be happy.
This means that Xiao Chujing will come home to check on her at any time.
It is extremely inconvenient for her to steal a man.
The senior sister pushed Ye Xiaoman's wheelchair back.
As soon as Ye Xiaoman saw the senior sister, she remembered something extremely important.
"When are we going to the bar?"
She also deposited 10,000 spirit coins with the senior sister, waiting to order the two top picks.
These days, her fellow disciples were busy with their tasks, and she was busy trying to trick Ji Wenyi, so her trip to the nightclub was delayed.
"I've contacted the venue, and the handsome guy has also made a reservation. We're just waiting to go over at the end of the month," the senior sister looked at Ye Xiaoman's injured foot with regret, "It's a pity you can't go."
The third sister used a feather duster to clean the grid of the Duobao Pavilion and said casually:
"We also spent a fortune to hire the most famous dancer in the capital, who's the best at twisting onto people and giving them lap dances. You won't be able to enjoy that."
Ye Xiaoman was furious and immediately stood up from the wheelchair. "Who said I can't go? Even if I have to crawl, I will crawl over there."
Third Senior Sister: “…”
Senior Sister: "...Sit down, I'll take you there."
The night is hazy.
Ye Xiaoman went to find Ji Wenyi.
In order to protect him during the day, she sacrificed herself to feed the crocodile, which was very touching. She intuitively felt that there was a benefit to be gained.
As soon as she walked out of the room, Ji Weiming sent her a message.
[Shisui, I'm outside your palace. Can we meet?]
Ye Xiaoman would not agree. She was going to close the net and start laying the groundwork from today. She would treat Ji Weiming coldly until he lost his patience and came to investigate her and caught her and Ji Wenyi in bed.
[Your Highness, it's late, I want to go to sleep.]
Her sudden indifference hurt Ji Weiming.
[You used to call me Weiming, but now you call me Your Highness Prince Rui.]
[The past was the past...] Ye Xiaoman deliberately limited her speech to one part, leaving him with unlimited room for imagination.
Ji Weiming fell into the trap: [Did my brother harass you?]
This time Ye Xiaoman did not answer him.
I hope he can give full play to his imagination and automatically come up with the answer.
Ye Xiaoman walked to the corner of the yard and stepped on the center of the teleportation array.
The person disappeared in an instant.
After she left, Ji Weiming walked out of the darkness. He had just used invisibility to contact Ye Xiaoman from the eaves opposite her, and could see her every move clearly.
He walked to the corner where Ye Xiaoman disappeared in confusion, recalled her movements, and walked behind a half-person-high flower pot.
The next moment, the scenery in front of Ji Weiming changed. When he regained his composure, he found that he had arrived at the Prince's Mansion!
What Prince Teng said about the Crown Prince setting up a teleportation array at Ye Xiaoman's residence turned out to be true.
Ji Weiming felt hot and cold, and anger rushed to his head. In the distance, a woman appeared in front of him, and he followed her.
The woman moved quickly and walked into the meeting room.
Ji Weiming did not go in with her directly. He went around to the back of the house, opened the window, rolled up the bamboo curtain, and stood in the dark to peek inside.
I saw Ji Wenyi and a woman drinking tea. The beaded curtain covered the woman's upper body, so her face could not be seen clearly.
Ji Weiming didn't have the patience to guess, he went straight back to the main entrance and walked in.
"Your Majesty."
The guards were standing at the door and tried to stop him, but he looked gloomy and pushed the guards aside and forced his way in.
Ji Wenyi heard the noise and turned around holding the teacup.
"Weiming is here."
"Your Highness Prince Rui." Another woman's formal voice sounded immediately.
Ji Weiming was stunned.
It’s Su Lingzhen.
Su Lingzhen stood up and said, "Your Highness, I have delivered Mother's message. It is late now. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
She felt puzzled. Ji Wenyi suddenly asked her to visit the Prince's Mansion more often when she was free. Her mother was happy and thought that a marriage was possible.
She was scared to death.
Fortunately, after meeting, Ji Wenyi still treated her in a businesslike manner, proving that her mother was overthinking it.
Su Lingzhen was taken away. Ji Weiming said nothing and turned to go to Ji Wenyi's bedroom. He searched inside and out but found no one.
He went to the hut in the garden again, but still didn't see Ye Xiaoman.
Ji Wenyi followed him and searched with him, "What are you doing?"
Ji Weiming felt confused, as if he had punched cotton.
Could it be that what he just saw was a ghostly illusion, a mere visual illusion?
The teleportation array that leads directly from Yihua Palace to the Prince's Mansion actually exists.
Ji Weiming couldn't lie to himself anymore.
He believed 90% of what Prince Teng said.
The remaining 10% will be used to confront Ji Wenyi after obtaining witnesses and evidence.
The Prince’s Mansion is so big. If Ji Wenyi wanted to hide someone, he would not be able to find him tonight.
Don't alert the enemy yet.
Ji Weiming said, "I have intercepted a secret letter, saying someone is planning to assassinate my brother tonight. Since I can't find any trace of the assassin, it must be a forgery. I will leave now."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Ji Wenyi waited until Ji Weiming left the Prince's Mansion before returning to his bedroom.
He made a hand gesture and the bookshelf automatically moved to the left, revealing a secret passage on the wall behind it.
He followed the secret passage leading to the underground and walked to the end. There was a stone door at the end of the road. He pushed the door open and saw an elegant secret room in front of him.
The merman secret guard held Ye Xiaoman's arm and helped her transfer from the wheelchair to the bed.
Ji Wenyi looked at him with a faint smile and spoke gently.
"Sanqi, I forgive your meritorious service in protecting the emperor, and I will spare your life. The next time you look at her or touch her, I will chop off your hand and gouge out your eye."
The secret guard's face turned red. He knelt down on his knees, kowtowed three times to Ji Wenyi to express his gratitude, and then retreated quietly.
Ye Xiaoman lay on the bed, pretending to be weak.
She said, "I asked him to help, so don't take your anger out on him."
"If you still want him to live, then don't plead for him." Ji Wenyi sat on the edge of the bed and checked the plaster on Ye Xiaoman's leg. "Did the imperial physician change the dressing? Is he feeling better?"
Ye Xiaoman's eyes welled up with tears: "It hurts."
Ji Wenyi immediately fed her a handful of precious pills.
It is probably a magical medicine for strengthening muscles and bones.
