Chapter 40

"I want you to get me a trigger." Dugu Aotian said.

"A finger?" Ji Longyue asked.

"It's a topaz with nine dragon fingers." Dugu Aotian said.

Ji Longyue looked at Dugu Aotian and said with a faint smile, "what the emperor means is that now this trigger is in your ninth brother, Dugu Sheng's hand. He wants me to steal it for you. Oh no, it's to take it back, isn't it?"

Dugu Aotian's eyes were getting colder, but his face was full of warm smile, and he said: "Princess Sheng, it's not appropriate to use the word steal. That Jiulong finger was originally my property, because jiudi was too naughty when he was young to steal it, and then he never gave it back to me.

This finger is very important to me, so please help me get it back.

As long as you can help me get this Jiulong finger back, I will not only allow you to make peace with your ninth younger brother, but also promote your father to be a Bachelor of the Imperial Academy and head the cabinet. As for your brother and mother, I can give them the title of nobility, so as to ensure the eternal glory of your family. "

"The emperor's translation is too tempting for me to refuse." Ji Longyue said with a smile.

She is a person who has read 5000 years of history, especially GUI GuZi. Dugu Aotian's words made her understand the meaning immediately.

And behind his promise of huge profits is the most cold-blooded killing.

If she has a rebuttal today, it is likely that there will be bad news in her family tomorrow.

Therefore, no matter what the Jiulong trigger is or how to get it, she must promise Dugu Aotian immediately.

"If you can say that, it means that you are a wise man. I will wait for your good news." Dugu Aotian said.

"Well, I won't let the emperor down." Ji Longyue said with a smile.

"Brother, what are you talking to my princess? But did you lose? She has a simple mind. Don't bully her with power. "

Dugu Sheng came over, stood beside Ji Longyue, raised his hand and stroked her head, and said with a smile, "I know you won't let me down."

Ji Longyue smile, said: "this is the emperor despise the enemy, I won by luck."

"No, no, Princess Sheng has excellent equestrian skills. Even if I try my best, I won't win." Dugu Aotian said with a smile.

He patted Dugu Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Princess Sheng is a very good woman. Ninth younger brother, you should know how to cherish it."

"The emperor said that I will take good care of you Her Dugu Sheng takes Ji Longyue into his arms, and a playful smile comes to his lips.

Ji Longyue looked up at him, their distance is so close, she can see behind the mask that pair of dream beautiful eyes sharp extreme, let her shudder.

She bowed her head, as if in his arms.

Listening to the two brothers very perfunctory scene words, her heart seems to overturn the seasoning, five flavors mixed.

Today, she has experienced the Queen's design and utilization, the emperor's coercion and inducement, and the invisible pressure from Dugu Sheng.

It turned out that when he was married, he was involved in the most terrible and ferocious struggle for rights.

And she is a small chess piece controlled by these powerful men. She is in a dilemma. If she is not careful, not only she will die, but also her family will not be spared.

She lamented that her journey through rebirth was so ill fated and thorny.

The banquet ended in the evening, and Ji Longyue and Dugu Sheng drove back to Shengqin's residence.

Dugu Sheng looked at Ji Longyue, who was silent, and asked, "what's the matter with you

Ji long long looked at him and said, "I'm tired of being a lady all day."

Dugu Sheng said with a smile, "it's very difficult for you. However, although you are a common girl, you are also the daughter of an official. Why don't you act like a lady?"

"I wish Qi Zixian were a lady. Do others have anything to do with you?" Ji Longyue said.

"In your eyes, there is a very dignified mood. Why?" Dugu Sheng looks at her aggressively.

Ji Longyue looked at him fearlessly and said, "I'm used today. I'm not happy. I don't like the intrigue in the palace. I don't like it very much."

Dugu Sheng said with a relieved smile, "no one will like it, but I can't control my greedy nature. I have to do whatever I can."

"Greed By all means And so do you? " Ji Longyue asked.

"My king Never greedy It's only for the sake of guarding that we will resort to all means. " Dugu Sheng said.

"I'll do whatever I can to protect myself Ha ha... " Ji Longyue smiles meaningfully.

Dugu Sheng looked at her. Before he went to the palace, his beautiful eyes were so clear and bright, but now they are dark and cold. He frowned slightly, inexplicably It hurts.

She is a simple and kind little girl, but she is forced to get involved in the dirty mud of their struggle. It's really hard for her.

He lifted the curtain of the car and said, "turn around and go to Ji Fu."

Ji Longyue raised her eyes and looked at Dugu Sheng, a face of doubt.He looked at her, smile, said: "I said that when Zixian's condition is stable, I will let you go back to Jifu to live with your mother for a few days. Today I will send you back."

"Oh, the devil finally found his conscience. Thank you." Ji Longyue said.

Thinking of seeing her mother and her family, her face finally bloomed with a beautiful smile.

Looking at her smiling face, Dugu Sheng lifted his lips and laughed with relief.

The carriage stopped in front of Ji's house. Ji Longyue got out of the carriage, looked at him and said, "why don't you go in and have a cup of tea."

"No, I'll go back now. Oh, the king of Japan in Ming Dynasty will send Xiangning and your black girl back. You can stay longer." Dugu Sheng said.

"I'm very grateful to Cheng Sheng for his kindness." Ji Longyue saluted him with a smile.

When she raised her eyes, she saw that Dugu Sheng closed the curtain of the car. She picked her eyebrows, turned and left.

Li Cheng and several bodyguards followed her and went to the gate of Ji mansion. She looked back and saw that several bodyguards were carrying two big boxes.

She pointed to the box and asked Li Cheng, "what is this?"

"These are the rewards given by the Empress Dowager and the emperor. The LORD said that they were given to the princess." Li Cheng said.

"These "Give it all to me?" Ji Longyue stares at Li Cheng and says with a smile, "Dugu Sheng is so generous."

When the gate of Ji's mansion was opened, Ji Wenze rushed to Ji Longyue and said, "I'm here to see Princess Sheng."

"Father, what are you doing..." Ji Longyue quickly helps Ji Wenze.

"Well, etiquette and law must be respected." As he said this, he stretched his head and looked out the door. He didn't see Dugu Sheng: "why don't you see Prince Sheng?"

Li Cheng said to Ji Wenze with a smile: "the prince went to the banquet today. He didn't drink less wine. He was slightly drunk. He went back to the palace to have a rest first. These were awarded by the Empress Dowager. The prince specially asked me to send them to Ji's house."

He said let bodyguards will carry the box into the main hall, a few people salute to Ji Longyue, then left Ji mansion.

Ji Wenze looked at the two big boxes with imperial seals, his eyes shining, his hands shaking: "this, this It must be very valuable. How can I accept it... "

"Father, I'll take it for you. As a son-in-law, Dugu Sheng respects you." Ji Longyue said with a smile.

Ji Wenze raised his head, frowned and glared at his daughter, and said, "shut up, it's Prince Sheng, and it's your husband. It's disrespectful to call him by his name. Let people know, it seems that I, Ji Jiahao, have no family education."

"Oh, father, it's all my own family behind closed doors. Don't be so critical. How's your mother? I'll go to see her..."

Ji Wenze grabbed her and said, "please wait in the main hall for a moment. I have sent someone to call your grandmother and mother. They will come to see you soon."

"What do you want to see? My father makes my daughter very uncomfortable..."

"My wife, see Princess Sheng."

While speaking, Mrs. Tai and Qin have rushed to salute her, followed by Fang and Ji Yao, who also salute.

Ji Longyue sighed helplessly, went to help Mrs. Tai and her mother, said: "grandmother, mother, the body can be OK."

"All right, all right." Mrs. Tai said with a smile.

Qin's eyes filled with tears, looked at her daughter with a smile, and said, "I'm well after taking the medicine you prescribed. How did you come back today?"

"Last time I said I would come back for a few days, didn't I?" Ji Longyue said with a coquettish smile.

"Prince Sheng, will you come back to live?" Qin said.

"Yes, today I went to the palace banquet with Prince Sheng. When I came back, he said that he would take me home for a few days..."

"You went to the palace banquet?" Too madam stares big eyes, surprise of say.

Ji Wenze came forward and said with a smile: "yes, yes, I can see from a distance on the racecourse that long Yue is standing with Prince Sheng and the emperor. Long Yue is still racing with the emperor and has won the emperor...."

He said, frowning and looking at Ji Longyue, he said, "you child, you really don't know what to do. How dare you win the emperor?"

"Father, you are too careful. Prince Sheng said that you must win over the emperor and don't disgrace him. Of course, I'll follow my husband." Ji Longyue said with a smile.

Ji Wenze just laughed. He looked at his daughter like a flower. Suddenly, he restrained his smile and said, "Long Yue, when will you ride a horse?"

"Well, Prince Sheng taught me that." Ji Longyue made up his mind.

Fang Shi looked at Ji Longyue coldly, and turned his mouth craftily.

She also went to the palace banquet today. Ji Longyue cured the Empress Dowager of her head madness. The Empress Dowager rewarded her with many treasures, but she made the show.

When she thought of the treasures, she looked at the two big boxes and chuckled. As soon as they entered the Treasury of Ji's house, they didn't all become her.

"By the way, which of the two boxes was awarded to Dugu Sheng by the emperor, and the contents were assigned to his family by his father. This box is given to me by the Empress Dowager. I'll leave it to my mother and brother. " Ji Longyue hugged Qin and said with a smile.

"Where can I use such a valuable thing? I should give it to Mrs. Tai." Qin said with a smile.Mrs. Tai said with a smile: "I'm going to enter the loess. What do I want these things to do. Long Yue gives you, you are at ease to receive, this is your goddaughter has the square repayment

"Yes, Longyue is the glory of my Ji family now. It's all your credit." Ji Wenze said with a smile.

"Hum." Ji Yao can't see any more and turns to leave angrily.

The whole family revolves around Ji Longyue and completely ignores her noble daughter of Ji's family. Her superiority is suppressed by this humble common girl.

"Yao er..." Fang called his daughter.

Ji Wenze calmly looks at Ji Yao who has gone away. The other side says, "you should take good care of the child. You are so headstrong and rude. It's not like a lady in a big family is gentle and virtuous. How can I get along with my mother-in-law when I find her in the future? "

Fang Shi just wanted to answer back. Seeing Ji Longyue calmly looking at her, she swallowed back and said, "I'm cooking soup. I'll go and have a look."

Then she left quickly.

Ji Longyue looked at Fang's gray figure, relieved with a smile.

I really want to thank Dugu Sheng for teaching Fang a lesson when she came to Ji's mansion last time. Now, she just gives Fang a look and makes him afraid.

When she thought of Dugu Sheng, she thought of what the emperor had asked her to steal.

Jiulong finger must represent absolute power, which is related to the success or failure and life and death of Dugu Sheng and Dugu Aotian.

This burden is too much on an ordinary girl, but she has been involved in the game of rights, and she has no choice, let alone a way out.

"To protect By all means Dugu Sheng's words lingered in her mind.

For the sake of her family, she will face everything bravely and cut through the thorns by all means.

Her life is destined to be extraordinary, so let the storm come more fiercely
