Chapter 105 Investigating the truth about saving Luo Junhe
Ji Yuntang pursed her red lips, pondered in her heart, and rubbed the tea bowl in her hand with her fingertips.
Luo Junhe was so young at that time. He must have been extremely scared when he fell into the water. He grabbed the sachet and regarded it as a life-saving straw. It is understandable that he was reluctant to let go.
And now, this sachet has become the most crucial evidence.
"Ahe, do you still remember what that sachet looks like?"
Ji Yuntang didn't dare to ask whether he still kept the things from eighteen years ago, after all, it was too long ago.
Luo Junhe said, "Atang, I remember I also brought that sachet to the Night Palace. It's in the secret compartment behind the bookshelf in Jinghong Courtyard. You'll know if you go and take a look."
He is a man who values friendship and loyalty. No matter how small or worthless the item is, as long as it is meaningful in Luo Junhe's eyes, he will keep it well.
Ji Yuntang was extremely excited. She had originally wanted to ask Luo Junhe to describe the pattern, fabric and appearance of the sachet, and then she would draw it with a pen and then have someone check it out.
Unexpectedly, Luo Junhe now made things easier for her.
Ji Yuntang immediately went to Jinghong Courtyard where Luo Junhe had lived before, pushed the door open and went straight to the bookshelf he mentioned.
On the two-meter-high nanmu bookshelf, there are many books on military and martial arts neatly arranged. Any book you open at random is still brand new, which shows that Luo Junhe usually cherishes these books very much.
Ji Yuntang had seen secret compartments on the bookshelves of ancient emperors in novels, but he had never experienced it himself.
She reached in and groped slowly behind the books.
Suddenly, a small raised round ball caught her attention.
Ji Yuntang pressed hard, and the wooden board behind the bookshelf suddenly opened. She looked up and saw an oval-shaped sachet that looked like a lucky bag inside.
The sachet is palm-sized, dark blue in color, sewn with gold thread and colored silk, and embroidered with exquisite floral and bird patterns. The workmanship is amazing.
Ji Yuntang opened it and took a look, and found that it contained nearly ten kinds of medicinal herbs including galangal, patchouli, atractylodes, angelica dahurica, and vanilla.
The effects of these herbs are to calm the mind and relieve anxiety, and they all help improve sleep.
Ji Yuntang took out the sachet and restored the secret compartment of the bookshelf to its original state.
Before she found out who the owner of the sachet was, she didn't plan to tell Luo Junhe her guess, so as to avoid him worrying in vain.
This sachet came from the palace. When Ji Yuntang wanted to investigate the matter, the first person he thought of was Luo Qingge.
Ji Yuntang went back to the West Garden, said that he had something to go out for, and then took a carriage to the direction of the palace.
She sent a visiting card to Luo Qingge.
When Luo Qingge received the visiting card handed to her by Linglan, she thought she was dreaming.
"Linglan, is this really the visiting card that Third Sister-in-law sent me? You are not lying to me on purpose because you see that I miss her too much after the palace banquet?"
Linglan was a little amused and helpless. Their ninth princess was good in every way except that she was not very smart sometimes.
Just think about it, she is just a servant, no matter how brave she is, she would not dare to lie to Luo Qingge?
"My Ninth Princess, how dare I lie to you? This is really what Princess Ye just sent. The eunuch at De'an Gate said that Princess Ye is waiting for you at the palace gate. As long as you give the order, she will come to see you immediately."
"What are you waiting for? Go and ask my third sister-in-law to come in."
After Luo Qingge finished speaking, she quickly changed her words and said, "Forget it, I will go and invite him myself."
Ji Yuntang stood at the palace gate and waited for a while, then she saw a girl in a red dress flying towards her like a butterfly.
She opened her arms and hugged Ji Yuntang tightly.
"Third sister-in-law, a day without seeing you feels like three years, an hour without seeing you feels like an hour. Even though we just met today, I miss you so much!"
"Did you miss me too, so you came to the palace to see me again?"
The girl's eyes were as bright as stars, and she stared at Ji Yuntang so eagerly that her heart almost melted.
"Of course, I want to sing Qingge too."
Ji Yuntang curled her lips and chuckled, then reached out and touched Luo Qingge's head lovingly. Seeing the girl's quirky look, she felt her gloomy mood improved a lot.
But no matter how she thought about it, she did not forget the reason why she came to see Luo Qingge today.
"Qingge, I came here today because I want your help with something."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingge realized that Ji Yuntang might have something important to discuss with her, so she immediately took her hand and walked towards the palace.
"Third sister-in-law, this is not the place to talk, please follow me."
Luo Qingge brought Ji Yuntang to her Feiyue Palace, and asked Linglan to serve the best snacks and tea to entertain Ji Yuntang.
Luo Qingge glanced at everyone, "All of you go out, no one is allowed to come in without the princess's order!"
"Yes, Princess." The maids agreed immediately, and Linglan went out to help them close the door.
After everyone had left, Ji Yuntang took out a sachet from his sleeve and asked, "Qingge, do you recognize this sachet?"
Luo Qingge held the sachet and looked at it for a moment, obviously confused.
"Third sister-in-law, I don't know it either, but judging by the workmanship and material, it should be from the palace. How about I ask someone to help you check it out?"
Ji Yuntang was overjoyed, "That couldn't be better."
"Qingge, this sachet is already eighteen years old. Please help me find out which maid in the palace it belongs to."
Luo Qingge raised her chin and patted her chest to assure, "This is easy to deal with. Sister-in-law, just leave it to me. I will definitely find out all the information about it for you!"
Ji Yuntang curled her red lips slightly and chuckled, "Then I'll wait for Qingge's good news."
The two did not exchange pleasantries for too long. Ji Yuntang had other things to do, so he said goodbye to Luo Qingge.
Luo Qingge sent her to the palace gate, and she turned back reluctantly only after the carriage from Prince Ye's Mansion disappeared.
Seeing her distraught look, Linglan laughed and teased her, "Ninth Princess, I see you act like a young wife sending her beloved away. Princess Ye has only been in the palace for one day, and you're already reluctant to let her go. What if you ask for a consort in the future?"
"Humph! How can a prince consort be as fragrant as my sister!"
"Fortunately, I am not a man. If I were a man, I would definitely try my best to marry my third sister-in-law. Then I would only take her out of the three thousand rivers. I would make her the happiest woman in the world."
When Luo Qingge thought of this, tears flowed down her face.
"Shassha..."
Linglan was quick to cover her mouth.
"Princess, you can't let the emperor and the queen hear this. This is extremely treasonous."
