Chapter 351 I've Admired You for Many Years
Seeing Ji Chilian throw the gift box into the brazier and call for a basin of water to wash his hands, Yi Qianhuan's mouth curled up slightly, but it was fleeting and soon disappeared.
He also told Ji Chilian about the tea party with Bei Jiye the day after tomorrow. Yi Qianhuan added, "I agreed this time just to test Bei Jiye's sincerity. If you don't have time..."
"I am free." Ji Chilian interrupted Yi Qianhuan before he could finish. "Yubao should be almost recovered by then. We can take Yubao and Mobao with us to join in the fun."
Yi Qianhuan thought about it and felt that by then they would look like a family of four, which would be indeed suitable.
"Ji Chi Lian, I don't care about anything else, but since you are already engaged to my sister, you should take care of those girls around you. Today it's Princess Lianhe, and tomorrow who will stop my sister's carriage? Don't cause so much trouble for my sister." Yi Qianyuan couldn't stand the harmonious look of the two and couldn't help but say something back.
Originally, he hoped that Ji Chilian would confront him.
Unexpectedly, with Ji Chilian's temper, she didn't get angry at all. Instead, she nodded and agreed: "Okay, I promise that what happened today will not happen again."
This time, Yi Qianyuan lost his temper and sat quietly looking at Ji Chilian.
"Come to think of it, I haven't asked you yet, what method did you use to get the emperor to agree to our engagement?" Yi Qianhuan knew Bei Yunting. That man would not let them get their wish easily.
Ji Chilian's eyes, with a hint of depth, fell on Yi Qianhuan.
Yi Qianhuan's heart sank, and he suddenly felt a strange feeling welling up in his heart.
"I told the Emperor that I have admired you for many years, but because you and Helian Xiujin have never divorced, I have no chance to be with you. Now that I have the chance, I will no longer wait."
Ji Chilian looked extremely serious when he spoke, so much so that Yi Qianhuan even thought for a moment that this man was speaking from the heart.
However, this speculation quickly dissipated like smoke and was denied by Yi Qianhuan.
Ji Chilian has always used any means to achieve his goals. If she believed him, she would be really stupid.
It seemed that this man was hiding something from her.
Knowing that she and Ji Chilian were using each other, Yi Qianhuan had never been honest with this man, so she did not expect this man to treat her wholeheartedly.
After this thought popped up in his mind, Yi Qianhuan failed to convince himself. Instead, he felt as if something was stuffed in his chest, making him feel swollen and uncomfortable.
Yi Qianhuan did not express his opinion, and the two of them naturally fell into silence.
After taking a sip of the tea, Ji Chilian changed the subject and asked, "How is Yi Mobao doing now?"
"The injuries Mo Bao suffered at that time were not serious, and he has recovered now. Why did Du Gong suddenly remember to care about Mo Bao?" Yi Qianhuan's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she stared at the man in front of her.
"There has been new progress regarding the explosion case in the previous life. According to our latest investigation, we found traces of a large amount of Atractylodes powder used in the home of the deceased pharmacy owner. I would like to ask Yi Mobao about this."
When Yi Qianhuan heard the words 'Atractylodes powder', he had a bad feeling in his heart: "Atractylodes powder is a banned drug in Xijiang Country. It is very rare even in Xijiang Country. Why would it appear in large quantities in the hands of a pharmacy owner? I suspect there is something fishy about this matter. Maybe someone wants to deliberately target the National God's Mansion."
"Your idea coincides with mine. It's no secret that the young general has returned. Everyone knows that he was almost seriously injured and died in the previous battle, and he was able to survive with the help of Baishu powder. As a result, he just came back and a vicious case related to Baishu powder occurred in the capital. If the truth cannot be investigated, then the young general will definitely become the target of public criticism."
Seeing Ji Chilian's solemn expression, Yi Qianhuan sat up straight with some nervousness, "The governor knows that my elder brother has actually escaped the control of the white atractylodes powder..."
"This governor knows, but the emperor doesn't, and we can't let the emperor know about this." Ji Chilian's expression was serious, and he said word by word: "If the emperor knew that the young general had remembered everything, the emperor would definitely not tolerate him!"
Every word Ji Chilian uttered turned into a heavy blow, landing heavily on Yi Qianhuan's heart.
She knew very well that Ji Chilian was not exaggerating.
The truth of the Battle of Xiye is already before their eyes, but they have no evidence to prove what they said, so the eldest brother needs to continue to lie dormant, otherwise Bei Yunting will definitely not tolerate the eldest brother.
"It all feels like someone planned it all in advance. The drugstore explosion seemed to be aimed at Mo Bao, but in fact, it involved many people. It's not just Mo Bao. Yu Bao and Bao Xiaoche blamed each other, Xiao Shen was injured, and the Dragon Shadow Guards suffered heavy casualties. And now after a deeper investigation, it's actually related to Baizhu powder, and my eldest brother was also dragged into it."
Yi Qianhuan took a deep breath, trying to expel the turbid air that was suppressed in his chest: "Everything seems to be just a coincidence, but in fact it is all the result of extremely precise calculations. Who on earth could be so calculating and make such a big move?"
This case came about suddenly, but when I thought about it myself, I could find that there were too many people involved, and the deeper I dug, the more people would be involved.
"When I became a national god, the first thing I did was to find my elder brother. No one except my confidants knew about this, and I wasn't even sure if I could successfully find my elder brother. But now it seems that the person who set up this plan seemed to have guessed my plan and even set a trap for my elder brother in advance..."
As he murmured, a drop of cold sweat slid down Yi Qianhuan's forehead.
If the incident with the Atractylodes powder was not a coincidence, then it was obvious that the person who planned it had already anticipated that she would look for her eldest brother, and even knew everything about her eldest brother's situation and his actions.
Yi Qianhuan felt a chill at the thought that there was such a poisonous snake lurking in the dark where they couldn't see.
"The specific situation still needs to be investigated before we can get an answer. Let's ask Mobao and Yubao first, maybe they can remember some clues." Ji Chilian said as he stood up.
Yi Qianhuan followed Ji Chilian and went to the backyard together.
Meanwhile, in the backyard.
The sun was shining brightly at this time, and the spacious backyard was almost completely filled with mahogany boxes sent from the Governor's Mansion, leaving almost no place to stand.
Yi Mobao casually opened a few mahogany boxes and took a look.
"Gold ingots, gems, pearls, medicinal herbs, silk... Yubao, are you moving the warehouse of the Governor's Mansion directly to my house?" Yi Mobao was almost blinded by the treasures in these boxes. He looked up at Shen Yubao who was not far away.
"When Fairy Sister and my father get married, the entire Governor's Mansion will be hers. Why would she need to carry it here? Brother Mo, what you see is just part of the betrothal gifts my father is going to give to Fairy Sister. I will send a part of it today, and the rest will be sent over the next few auspicious days."
