The person who spoke just now was none other than the owner of the Imperial Dragon Palace, Jin Yuqi. Today was the first day of the consort selection. There were already internal officials who came to report that the women to be selected had all settled down in the various palaces. There were hundreds of them. This news made him restless and unable to sleep, so he spent his time outside the hall practicing his swordsmanship.
Just as he was in the middle of his training, he heard a strange sound coming from the roof. He saw a white figure swaying on the roof, and it seemed to be holding a weapon in its hand. Therefore, he suddenly shouted and immediately used the fifth layer of his power to throw out several snow arrows and silver needles hidden in his sleeves.
The Snow Arrow Silver Needle was forged from a rare metal. It was as thin as a hair and as silver as snow. There was a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon carved on it. It was about an inch long and was his special self-defense weapon. Although the person who was hit by this needle would not die, it would make the person's entire body itch and make them wish they were dead.
Jin Yuqi could not help but feel a little defeated. He rarely used the Snow Arrow Silver Needle. Once it flew out, the needle would not miss! But tonight, his silver needles had lost their use, allowing the other party to escape.
Jin Yuqi jumped onto the roof to check. Other than the wind and the swaying shadows of the trees, there were no other suspicious people. Damn it! He actually let her escape! Who dared to barge into the palace? It seemed like it was time to strengthen his defense. Could it be that his martial arts had regressed? As Jin Yuqi thought about it, he lowered his head and saw something. He bent down to pick it up. Under the bright moonlight, he saw that it was a silk handkerchief embroidered with peonies. There seemed to be a strange smell floating in the air. He sniffed hard. Yes, it was a fragrance. He could not tell what kind of spice it was, but it felt very refreshing. Wait, so that person was a woman? There shouldn't be any man who would use this kind of silk handkerchief. Even if a man brought his woman's belongings to provoke her, how could there be such a strange fragrance on his body?
Jin Yuqi, who did not think of the answer, became even more impatient. No one had ever provoked his nerves and dared to challenge his ability! Ever since he was young, he had never lost to anyone, let alone a woman. He jumped down from the roof, clutching the handkerchief tightly in his hand.
Sitting on a chair in the hall, Jin Yuqi carefully examined the silk handkerchief. The peonies on it were vivid and beautiful, and there were even butterflies dancing. Suddenly, he noticed the word "Yan" embroidered on a corner of the handkerchief. The handwriting was elegant, showing that the embroidery was impressive. He couldn't help but wonder if this person was a man or a woman. Friend or foe? Could it be a spy from the palace? Why did he come to the palace so late? He sniffed the fragrance on the handkerchief and fell into deep thought!
Qingcheng of Changrui Palace spent the night in unease. Before she could get up and wash up, Qingfeng and Mingyue came in with things.
"Qingfeng, what are you holding in your hand?”Qingcheng asked.
"This is the rouge powder that the palace maid just sent over. She said that every female candidate will have it. I think the empress wants all of you to dress up beautifully to attract the crown prince's attention.”She placed the rouge powder in front of the young lady's dressing table.
"Our young miss is a natural beauty. Using these things will instead look tacky.”The moon was the sweetest, but it was also a fact.
Qingcheng looked at it and smelled it." Yes, it's a good thing. But Mingyue is right. Let's put it away first."”
"Miss, let us help you wash up.”
Soon, Qingcheng, who had washed up, changed her appearance back to her original unattractive appearance. Qing Feng combed her long hair for her and tied it up with a dragon-phoenix purple jade hairpin. Although it was simple, it did not lose its charm.
"Miss, what a pity for your beauty.”Ming Yue couldn't help but say.
"Shh, lower your voice." "Have you forgotten the purpose of Miss 'trip?" Qing Feng reminded his sister.”
"Although that's the case, I'm still unwilling to accept it.”"If the young miss isn't plagued by a strange illness, she'll definitely be able to stand out among the flock of chickens. Sister, it's not like you haven't heard the cold words of others."”
"Ming Yue, what others say is their business. Their mouths are on them. They are shallow and judge people by their appearances.”Qingcheng comforted Brightmoon instead.
"Miss is right. We can't listen to other people's nonsense.”Qing Feng said.
"I hope that those female officials are also ordinary people. Then Young Lady's wish will soon be fulfilled.”Brightmoon gradually thought things through.
Her words were refuted by Qingcheng." You can't say that. As female officials, they must have their own self-restraint and cultivation. They won't casually reject the selection of women." What I have to consider is how to make them think that I am really not suitable to stay in the palace.”
"Miss, don't worry. There's still a month's time. With Miss's intelligence, it won't be difficult.”Qing Feng comforted him again.
As they were talking, screams suddenly sounded from outside.
"Qingfeng and Mingyue, what happened outside? Let's go out and take a look. It sounds like Ah Ji's voice.”
The three of them walked out of the room. As expected, Ah Ji was panicking.
"Ah Ji, what happened?" Qingcheng asked.
"Miss Mu Rong, it's not me, it's Miss!”Ah Ji pointed at his own face.”
"What's wrong with Sister Minmin? Come, bring me in to take a look!"
Ji Minmin was crying softly in front of the dressing table. When she saw Qingcheng enter, she quickly covered her face."Sister, I'm afraid I can't be the chosen girl with my current appearance.”
"Don't cry yet. Let me take a look.”Qingcheng pulled her hand away. Ji Minmin's face was red and swollen, and she had lost her original beauty.""There is something strange. Don't worry. Tell me the whole story. Maybe I can help you.”
Ji Minmin stopped crying and her eyes lit up."Can it really be cured?"
"He was fine last night. Why did he become like this now? Did you touch anything?"
"I'm not sure either. I just applied some rouge and makeup from the palace, and my face felt itchy, swollen, and painful.”
Ah Ji quickly said,"This rouge and powder was just sent out by someone from the palace this morning. Miss Mu Rong also has it."”
Qingcheng picked up a box of rouge powder and sniffed it. She frowned and said,""My guess was right. Yanzhi was tampered with and put something she shouldn't have.”
Ji Minmin was shocked when she heard that." I don't have any grudges against anyone. Who would harm me?!"”
"Ah Ji, how did this rouge end up in your miss 'hands?”
Ah Ji thought for a moment and replied,"I got it from a palace maid. There's nothing special about it. She's also distributing it to the other candidates."”After a pause, she suddenly said,""Oh, right, that maid called Ju Xiang accidentally knocked over the box. She was the one who handed the rouge box to me and even apologized to me.”
"It's very likely that she's the one who's behind this. However, we can only guess. It's not good to jump to conclusions without conclusive evidence.”Qingcheng looked at Min Min's face." Don't worry. I have a way to help you recover as soon as possible. However, you can't go out for the next few days. You can't even be exposed to the wind."”
"As long as you can cure my face, I won't go out.”Ji Minmin smiled gratefully at Qingcheng.""Thank you, sister!"
"I'll keep an eye on Miss." Ah Ji was also overjoyed.
"There's no need to be so formal. Since we're fated to know each other, and now we're living in the same palace, and you call me big sister, I'll definitely help you with this small favor.”Qingcheng turned to Qingfeng Mingyue and said,"Come with me to pick herbs."”
"Picking herbs? Miss, do you know where I can pick herbs in the palace?”Qing Feng was puzzled.
"Miss, you're not going to the Imperial Physician, are you?" Ming Yue asked.”
"Don't want it? Gather? * *** Nose twitching? Jiao Mei tired? I'm sorry
In the small garden next door, the bamboo leaves were lush and swaying in the wind. Qingcheng pointed at the bamboo and said," This kind of bamboo is unique to the Golden Gilt Country. It's called the Golden Thread Bamboo. It got its name because its leaves are like silk threads. Its leaves have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification. Coupled with the secret recipe I brought, it will definitely be able to remove the poison and promote blood circulation.”
Qingfeng smiled." No wonder you're so sure. You've already got a plan."”
"Miss, listen, sister is flattering me again.”Brightmoon laughed.
"Alright, stop bickering. Hurry up and collect the bamboo leaves.”"Remember, as long as the leaves don't have any veins, then you can use them as medicine by crushing them carefully.”
"Yes, Miss." Qing Feng began to collect the leaves.
After about an hour, Qingcheng finally applied the 'folk prescription' that was a mixture of bamboo leaves and an exclusive secret recipe onto Ji Minmin's face.""Don't think about anything. Just lie in bed and rest. You'll be fine in less than three days.”
"Sister, Ah Ji is here to take care of me. You should go and learn the etiquette of the palace.”"You have to be careful. Don't be like me, who doesn't even know that he's been schemed against." Ji Minmin lay down and said.”
"With my looks, who would scheme against me?”Qingcheng laughed at herself.
" Sister, although you don't look good, you're kind-hearted," Ji Minmin said sincerely." If I were the Crown Prince, I would also like a kind-hearted woman like you." If it were any other candidate, they would probably wish that there was one less woman.”
"Buddhists emphasize that everything should be left to fate.”Qingcheng walked out, but she stopped and said,""I will tell you everything the female official said.”
Ji Minmin smiled gratefully at her again.
Qingcheng of the Hall of Refined Beauty went to the Hall of Refined Beauty alone to gather with the selected women. Because the female official had said in advance yesterday that the handmaidens of the selected women were not allowed to accompany her.
The main hall had already been set up with tables and chairs for the women to be selected. The scene was very grand, and every seat had been assigned a number. Murong Qingcheng found her number 88 and sat down. Two young ladies of the Qian family came over.
"Eh, didn't Miss Ji come with you?”Qian Yalan walked up to Qingcheng and asked.
"So you care about her so much." Qingcheng looked into Ya Lan's eyes. She was about to die. Someone poisoned her.”
"He's dying?" Qian Yalan's beautiful face instantly changed. It shouldn't be that serious."
Qian Yamei tugged at her sleeve.
Qian Yalan pretended to be calm." Don't scare me. Wasn't she fine yesterday?"”
"I have no enmity with you, and I'm not very familiar with her. Why would I lie to you?”Qingcheng probed her." There'll definitely be more to this. I'll report this to the female official later!" Moreover, I have evidence to find the culprit!”
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me!" Qian Yalan panicked.
"Sister!" Qian Yamei shouted.
Everything was as clear as day. This incident must have something to do with the two sisters.
