Chapter 169: Lord Du, Why Are You Here?
Because of the overlapping shadows of the surrounding trees, Yi Qianhuan did not see Ji Chilian in front of the pavilion at first glance, and his face still showed the excitement and joy of about to see Shen Yubao.
"Yubao, I'm here." The bright smile on his face disappeared when he saw Ji Chilian flying a kite not far away.
"Dugong, why are you here?"
She had thought she would be able to see Yubao occasionally, but not being able to do so was enough to make her disappointed.
Now she had to meet Ji Chilian, which really gave her a headache.
"I came here with Yubao to see you." Ji Chilian wanted to get closer to Yi Qianhuan, but as soon as he took a step, the kite above his head seemed to be about to fall down and swayed in the air.
Thinking of his son's instructions, Ji Chilian had no choice but to take the step back: "Come here, I will talk to you slowly."
Yi Qianhuan was very resistant: "Master Du, I can hear it clearly even from here."
Ji Chilian could have said this.
But when he raised his eyes, he saw Yi Qianhuan's resistance. An emotion flashed quickly in his deep eyes, and then the silver whip in his hand was swung out quickly, grabbing Yi Qianhuan's slender and soft waist.
Yi Qianhuan was caught off guard and was swept up. Seeing Ji Chilian trying to exert force with one hand, he steadied his center of gravity and deliberately fought against the man in front of him.
The result was totally unexpected. The two people's confrontation caused the kite line to shake. The kite that was originally floating in the air swayed, and then fell steadily to the ground.
Seeing this, Yi Qianhuan and Ji Chi Lian took action at the same time, bending down and trying to pick up the kite on the ground.
But before his hands touched the kite, his heads collided with each other, making a dull bang.
A sharp pain swept over them, and both of them took a step back, holding their heads.
Yi Qianhuan was hit so hard that his vision went dark. He looked at Ji Chilian with dissatisfaction: "Are you deliberately going against me, Lord Governor?"
"Since this is about Wanbao Auction House, I must be cautious. But I want to ask, does the Crown Prince's wife regard me as a monster? She even refuses to come closer to me?" Ji Chilian also spoke in a bad tone, and kept staring at Yi Qianhuan while speaking.
"You have a really wonderful idea, Governor. I have never said that. Please don't be so self-indulgent." Yi Qianhuan was unwilling to admit it and stood up from the ground while speaking.
Ji Chilian picked up the kite, brushed off the dust on it, and handed it to Yi Qianhuan.
Yi Qianhuan reached out his hand subconsciously, and the moment he caught the kite, he heard Ji Chilian's voice coming from his ear.
"When Yubao comes over later, tell him that it was you who let the kite fall." Ji Chilian said as a matter of course.
Yi Qianhuan never expected that this man could be so childish and even try to pass the blame on to others!
Unable to believe that the Governor of the Northern Fusi could do such a thing, Yi Qianhuan clicked his tongue twice, but still did not argue with Ji Chilian: "Governor, please tell us what happened to Wanbao Auction House."
If she didn't want to find out what had happened, she wouldn't have been standing here killing time with Ji Chilian.
Ji Chilian said: "Yesterday, two Jinyiwei from the Beifusi were attacked while patrolling around Wanbao Auction House."
"Were they attacked by the man with the mole?" Apart from that man, Yi Qianhuan couldn't think of anyone else who would attack the people from Beifusi near Wanbao Auction House!
Ji Chi shook his head: "At present, we are still unable to determine who the murderer is. The two Jinyiwei seemed to have been poisoned by a Gu, which caused them to be in a coma. We have not been able to get the truth from them yet."
"Can't the masters of the Northern Pacification Office and the Governor's Mansion remove the poison from these two Jinyi Guards?" Yi Qianhuan saw Ji Chilian shook his head again, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.
Ji Chilian has many talented people under his command, including some masters of mystic arts.
These mystics masters can't solve the problem, which shows how difficult it is!
Seeing Yi Qianhuan's solemn expression, Ji Chilian's voice sounded in an orderly manner: "This governor has asked someone to bring the two Jinyiwei to the vicinity of the National God's Palace. When the Crown Prince's wife is free, she can go and check on the two Jinyiwei."
"Then let's wait until tonight and take Mobao with us. Mobao is much better than me in researching poisons like the insect gu." Yi Qianhuan said.
Ji Chilian agreed to Yi Qianhuan's proposal.
The two agreed on a time to meet in the evening. Their tone was very businesslike, and after that they both fell silent.
The garden was subtly enveloped in a heavy and stiff atmosphere.
At this time, Shen Yubao had gone around to the back of the rockery and met up with Shui Rong. He saw his father and fairy sister staring at each other, feeling really disappointed!
He has already provided Daddy with such a good opportunity, why doesn't Daddy know how to seize it!
Shen Yubao hurriedly urged Shui Rong: "Sister Shui Rong, hurry up and put the prepared petals down!"
Shui Rong nodded quickly and quickly cut the rope of the mechanism that had been designed in advance.
Hearing the subtle sounds coming from all around, Yi Qianhuan's heart tightened, and then she saw the red phoenix flower petals falling from the sky, completely wrapping her and Ji Chilian.
The surroundings were full of vitality, the colors of the phoenix flowers were bright, and the fragrance was even more gorgeous. The charming fragrance of the flowers spread out like ripples around, making Yi Qianhuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"I waited for a long time thinking something was going on, but I didn't expect that the little thing was actually doing this." Yi Qianhuan was speechless for a moment and sighed.
In fact, she had just seen Shen Yubao hiding in the dark.
She guessed that Shen Yubao must have some ideas, but she didn't expect that Yubao would actually create such a scene for them.
At this moment, Yi Qianhuan also saw through Shen Yubao's intention to bring her and Ji Chilian together.
Not knowing how he had given Shen Yubao the illusion that he could be with Du Gong, Yi Qianhuan thought that he must find an opportunity to explain things to Shen Yubao next time.
Even though she and Ji Chilian did have some entanglement six years ago, this matter is a thing of the past for both of them.
As long as Ji Chilian doesn't forcibly take away her flesh and blood, she is willing to live in harmony with Ji Chilian like this.
As for other thoughts, she never had any.
According to Yi Qianhuan's guess, she thought Ji Chilian should have exactly the same idea as her.
Ji Chilian even discovered Shen Yubao earlier than her, otherwise this man would not have waited until the business was over before leaving.
Shen Yubao, who was standing behind the rockery, still looked puzzled.
It’s such a romantic scene, why don’t Daddy and Fairy Sister react at all!
Before Yi Qianhuan opened his mouth to call out Shen Yubao, he heard panicked footsteps coming from behind him.
With his eyes seemingly casually glancing behind him, Yi Qianhuan was unsurprisingly met with Lin Wanyue, who was looking surprised.
Lin Wanyue's eyes widened, and she looked as if she had just eaten a shocking melon.
