Chapter 125 Leaving the Palace to Meet a Man

After listening to his subordinates' report, Ji Yanqing wrote a reply directly to Jiang Sisi.

The general meaning was that everything he wanted to investigate had been investigated clearly, and on his way here he happened to catch a Taoist priest who knew the truth and was willing to tell it, but the captured person said that the truth could only be told to Ye Jinshu.

As I write this, everything is still normal.

But Ji Yanqing had his own plans in mind. When he wrote the part about Ye Jinshu, he deliberately changed the color of the pen and wrote in a bigger size.

[It would be better to let Jinshu know the truth before the palace banquet begins]

By the way, Ji Yanqing enlarged the font size of the four words "Palace Banquet" even larger than before, so that the first thing Jiang Sisi saw after receiving Ji Yanqing's reply was the four words "Palace Banquet".

After reading these four words, Jiang Sisi looked at the other content written by Ji Yanqing. She concluded that the content of the letter written by Ji Yanqing was to ask her to bring Ye Jinshu out to meet him.

Of course, they can't meet at the inn, as that would be against etiquette and would also damage Ye Jinshu's reputation. They need to set a time and find a trustworthy restaurant to meet there.

Although he asked Jiang Sisi to find a restaurant, Ji Yanqing had already written the name of a restaurant and even the room number in the letter.

There is a secret door between Room 2 and Room 3, which can connect the two rooms, so that they can meet each other even if they are not together in public.

Ji Yanqing is an old fox recognized by Jiang Sisi, and his thoughts are naturally thorough.

Seeing that the palace banquet was only a few days away, Jiang Sisi, based on the reactions in the court brought back by Prime Minister Jiang in the past few days, believed that most officials believed that using a princess could gain an opportunity to make friends with a big country, or even get a city, which was not a loss no matter how you looked at it.

Even those who had some objections were not considering what would happen if Ye Jinshu married him, but wondering whether there was any fraud involved.

For example, if Ye Jinshu died on the way to her marriage, the Dongming Kingdom might have blamed her for it, and it might even have become a reason for a war. In this case, it would make sense why the prince of the Dongming Kingdom would conquer the small country that had always served as a dividing line between the two countries on his way here.

But overall, although there are risks and it cannot be ruled out that Dongming Kingdom has ill intentions, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Jinshu will be married to Ji Yanqing at the palace banquet in a few days, and then she will wear wedding clothes and marry from Chen Kingdom to Dongming Kingdom.

By the time you know the so-called truth, it will be difficult to do anything.

Jiang Sisi thought this way because she guessed that the emperor might be the murderer of Ye Jinshu's father. In this case, she and Ji Yanqing could make preparations early.

Jiang Sisi is different from Prime Minister Jiang. Prime Minister Jiang is a typical loyal minister. If the king wants his minister to die, the minister will die immediately.

And Jiang Sisi would consider letting Jun die.

However, these things are just speculations now, so she did not jump to conclusions. If possible, she still hoped that there was no hidden story between the emperor and empress and Ye Jinshu's parents.

If all these years of feelings were fake, then Ye Jinshu would be too pitiful.

Jiang Sisi quickly replied to Ji Yanqing and the date was set for the next day. Jiang Sisi promised that she would go to the palace to bring Ye Jinshu out.

The communication between the two people was completed in one night.

Jiang Sisi thought about how when Ji Yanqing was still on the road, it took more than ten days for a letter to go back and forth. But now it’s much better, something can be settled in one night.

Speaking of which, Jiang Sisi herself found it very strange. If it were in normal times, people like Ji Yanqing would be the type she hated the most and the one she was least willing to contact, because it was very tiring to get along with them, and she always had to use her brain to prevent the other party's calculations.

Jiang Sisi could tell what ordinary people were thinking at a glance, but for Ji Yanqing, even if Jiang Sisi saw his thoughts, she had to ask herself again, is this his real thought, or is this just a false illusion he created to make himself think this way. Going against someone like Ji Yanqing is the most tiring.

However, Ji Yanqing was honest in front of Ye Jinshu.

The tricks they used were all childish jealousies.

It was because of seeing Ji Yanqing's appearance in front of Ye Jinshu that Jiang Sisi chose to ask Ji Yanqing for help when she encountered a bottleneck. She knew that Ji Yanqing would definitely help with Ye Jinshu's affairs.

Now, it was just as she thought.

If Ji Yanqing said that he had found the truth, then it couldn't be fake. It seemed that no one in this world could deceive Ji Yanqing. If someone who didn't know the truth lied, Ji Yanqing could tell it right away.

So early the next morning, Jiang Sisi went into the palace and told Ye Jinshu directly that Ji Yanqing had found out the truth, but she needed to leave the palace to meet someone before she could tell him.

Ye Jinshu naturally agreed immediately and even looked a little excited.

How could Ye Jinshu not be excited? This was the first time in so many lives that she was able to hear the so-called truth.

As expected, if you can't do something yourself, you have to rely on others!
Ye Jinshu must tell the Queen if she wants to leave the palace now.

This was actually simple. Ye Jinshu told the Queen that she was about to meet Ji Yanqing and was nervous, so she wanted to go out for a walk with Jiang Sisi. The Queen immediately agreed.

He just sent a lot of people to follow Ye Jinshu, for fear that something might happen to Ye Jinshu outside.

Jiang Sisi saw the long line of people following Ye Jinshu and was speechless, but she also felt that it seemed reasonable: "If we go to the restaurant to eat, will they follow us?"

"No, my aunt said they won't follow you in, but they will stand guard at the door."

Jiang Sisi moved closer to Ye Jinshu and said, "Then we have to speak more quietly in there."

"That's right, but there's nothing I can do. My aunt won't let me leave the palace otherwise."

Jiang Sisi nodded: "Then let's go out like this."

It seems that Ji Yanqing might have known about this situation a long time ago, otherwise he would not have chosen that restaurant.

Normally, ordinary restaurants only use wood to make wooden doors, and even the windows are mostly paper-pasted, but the door panels selected by Ji Yanqing are very thick, and corn cobs are added between the door panels, so they are warm and soundproof.

As for why Jiang Sisi knew this, it was of course because she was curious why Ji Yanqing specifically chose this restaurant, so she asked someone to check it out late at night, and she didn't expect that it was really unique.

Ye Jinshu and Jiang Sisi were conspicuous when they went out with a group of people following them, and even when they arrived at the restaurant, they scared a lot of people.

The hotel owner also came out to greet us personally and asked if we needed anything.

Jiang Sisi told the store owner the room number she had agreed on with Ji Yanqing, and the store owner immediately took them upstairs.

As for the people brought by Ye Jinshu, there was no room for them to stand in a row on the second floor, so many guards simply climbed onto the beams to provide high-altitude protection.

Ye Jinshu didn't want to look at these people anymore, so he pulled Jiang Sisi into the room quickly.

Shortly after they entered the room, the door suddenly moved, followed by a familiar voice: "Jinshu."
