Ji Wu Jiu took the tea, and take a look at the tea, the colour was reddish, smells very nice, it was Shi Qi Red tea. This type of red tea has a nickname “Qun Fang Zui”, it is a type of famous tea, every year the best tea will be sent into the palace for the imperial family. This type of red tea is not the best, but Ji Wu Jiu really likes the colour and smell, that is why this time Su Jie Yu really provided what he liked, seeing that after smelling it Ji Wu Jiu took a sip, she finally calmed down.
Then, someone else climbed up as well.
Ye Zhen Zhen was dressed up like a fur seller by Su Yue again. She was holding a heater in her hands, on her head she was wearing a fox hat, and when she saw Ji Wu Jiu and Su Jie Yu in the pavilion, she immediately turned around and tried to leave.
Ji Wu Jiu called her “Empress, why not come and sit together?”
Ye Zhen Zhen didn’t want to bother about them initially, but afraid that Su Jie Yu will scheme something, so she sat down at the side.
Perhaps the flogging that she received was still in her mind, when Su Jie Yu saw Ye Zhen Zhen, she appeared to be not at ease.
“I did not know that the empress would be coming over, so I have only prepared 2 cups of tea, I hope you forgive me”
“She brought her own” Ji Wu Jiu saw Wang You Cai holding a big cup. He knew what was held inside that cup, it was her Da Hong Pao. (another type of red tea, Chinese tea… has tooooo many types)
The most authentic Da Hong Pao, is from Wu Yi Mountain, and the trees are very tall, monkeys are trained to pick this tea, and requires many steps to produce, and this creates high grade Da Hong Pao tea. This type of tea, every year it only produces not more than 1kg, and all are to be submitted to the palace for Ji Wu Jiu, and can be said that it is the emperor within the teas. Few days ago, Ji Wu Jiu gave some to Ye Zhen Zhen, Su feng used milk to cook the tea, and strained the tea leaves, and added some milk, warmed it up and gave to Ye Zhen Zhen to drink.
Ye Zhen Zhen liked this type of milk tea the most, Ji Wu Jiu does not like the smell of milk, so after trying one time, he does not drink it anymore. But, he likes to see Ye Zhen Zhen drinking them. When she drinks the milk tea, some will be left on her lips, then subconsciously she will use her tongue and lick one round, and every time she does it, Ji Wu Jiu will feel his throat tighten.
Therefore, he took all his beloved Da Hong Pao tea and gave it all to Ye Zhen Zhen.
Su Feng gave Ye Zhen Zhen a small cup of milk tea, and after drinking it, as usual Ye Zhen Zhen will lick her lips, and did not realize Ji Wu Jiu was looking at her. Suddenly, she heard Su Jie Yu screamed “Your majesty, becareful!”
Seeing carefully, someone actually came up from the back of the pavilion, holding a sword aiming at JI Wu Jiu. Su Jie Yu was seating next to Ji Wu Jiu, when Ye Zhen Zhen heard her scream, Su Jie Yu already rush over to block the back of Ji Wu Jiu.
Ye Zhen Zhen’s reaction was very fast, with a twist of her wrist, her cup fly out, and it flew towards the assassin, the assassin then use his sword to block, and missing his opportunity, Ji Wu Jiu has already stood up and was fighting against him. Ye Zhen Zhen saw that the assassin was wearing guard’s cloths and felt that something is not right.
Although the assassin is now going against Ji Wu Jiu that has no weapon on hand, it was still very hard to win over Ji Wu Jiu, and very soon was at the losing end. Ye Zhen Zhen wants to capture him alive, so she also joined in the fight. With the both of them together, the opponent has no way of wining, and was hit by Ji Wu Jiu, and when he was almost going to fall of the pavilion, this man made hill is very tall, and people falling down from here, will definitely die. Ye Zhen Zhen without thinking, rushed over to catch him. Ji Wu Jiu’s heart almost leapt out from its place, caught her wrist and pulled her back, perhaps he was shocked so the strength he used was very strong, both of the people was pulled back. The assassin fell onto the floor, holding his injured part, coughing non stop, Feng You De and Wang You Cai, rushed over and removed his weapon, and held him down.
“You are crazy!” Ji Wu Jiu reprimanded Ye Zhen Zhen angrily.
Ye Zhen Zhen saw that the assassin’s jaw moved a little, and shouted “Do not let him suicide!”
Ji Wu Jiu with quick moved walked over, one leg stepping on the assassin’s shoulder, raising his feet a little, aiming at his lower jaw and kick it a little, and what could be heard next was a Ka Ca sound and the assassin’s jaw has been dislocated.
Feng You De search his mouth, and took out a small black packaging, on it there was 2 teeth marks. What is inside is most probably poison. He wanted to bite through the packaging, but did not make it in time.
Ye Zhen Zhen finally let out a breath.
The guards below immediately rushed over and took the assassin away. Ye Zhen Zhen asked, while following from behind them “Do you guys know him?”
“Replying to your majesty, he is a third rank guard, Kang Cheng Lu”
Then Ye Zhen Zhen ordered them “Guard him properly, make sure he does not have the opportunity to commit suicide!”
Su Jie Yu finally came back from being scared, and climbed into the arms of Ji Wu Jiu to cry.
Ji Wu Jiu did not push her away. With one hand he held onto Su Jie Yu, and looked at Ye Zhen Zhen, “why are you afraid that he will suicide?”
“I am scared of not having any evidence” Ye Zhen Zhen replied.
“Why are you scared of not having any evidence?” Ji Wu Jiu asked again.
Ye Zhen Zhen thought that Ji Wu Jiu is very bothersome, so she did not reply him and asked to leave. After returning to Kun Ning Palace, she is still worried. If assassins appeared in the palace, then Lu Li will not be able to run off from the responsibility of not doing his work properly, there could also be people that will say that the assassin is working with Lu Li, and if it continues so, then most probably Lu Family and Ye Family will be involved as well.
Ye Xiu Ming is a minister that has served three dynasties and teacher to two emperors, he can be said to be not afraid of any crime accusations, however there is one accusation that even him can’t take, that would be treason. Not to mention his status with the imperial family is very sensitive, if he were to be blamed to treason, some people would actually believe. That time, Ji Wu Jiu would not need to do anything, the whole nation’s saliva would be able to drown Ye Xiu Ming.
Actually what Ye Zhen Zhen is afraid of is, Ji Wu Jiu purposely change the facts from white to black. He is the emperor, and wary of the Ye family for a long time now, if this time he used it as an opportunity to get rid of the entire Ye Family, it would not be a hard thing to do.
Ye Zhen Zhen got more afraid as she thinks about it, the room is actually warm, but she still felt cold throughout.
Cannot be like this, must be able to find the true criminal before Ji Wu Jiu do anything!
