Chapter 397 Why do you mind?
"Don't you mind Princess Lianhe often going in and out of the Governor's Mansion?" Ji Chilian looked at Yi Qianhuan with a dim gaze and asked coldly.
Yi Qianhuan was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Why should I mind? This is not my residence. Princess Lianhe is upset with you, not me."
"But a situation like today might happen again." Ji Chilian's tone was tinged with an inexplicable coldness.
"You have a point." Yi Qianhuan really didn't want to see Princess Lianhe appear in front of him again. "How about this, if I have something to do in the future, I won't come to your Governor's Mansion. I will send someone to pass on a message to you, so that Princess Lianhe won't cause trouble to me again after we meet."
Yi Qianhuan sincerely felt that his idea was a good one.
But Ji Chilian's face looked even gloomier than before.
Yi Qianhuan showed understanding: "I know this is unfair to you, but for Yubao, you must persist."
"This Governor is not unhappy because he is being harassed."
Yi Qianhuan couldn't figure it out again: "Why is that?"
Carefully recalling what he had just said, Yi Qianhuan really couldn't figure out what he had said wrong.
"Forget it." Ji Chilian hesitated for a while and then gave up. He rubbed his brows and said, "Why did you come to see me today?"
Yi Qianhuan remembered why he came here, and took out the amulet from his bosom and handed it to Ji Chilian: "Take a look at what's so strange about this thing."
"Isn't this the thing Bao Huaer was going to give to Yu Bao?" Ji Chilian took out a handkerchief and wrapped the brocade bag before taking it.
"Yes and no. My eldest brother said that my sister-in-law not only prepared a peace amulet for Yubao that day, but also prepared one for me and Mobao. However, my eldest brother felt that none of us liked them, so he simply kept them and gave them to him, my sister-in-law, and Bao Xiaoche to wear."
Yi Qianhuan only looked at the amulet and clearly felt his temples throbbing wildly: "I also saw that my elder brother felt uncomfortable after wearing the amulet, so I suspected that there was something wrong with it."
"This item is indeed exquisite, and the amulet inside it seems to be fine. But why is the silk thread on it colorful?" Ever since Ji Chilian came into contact with the colorful stone, he has developed a sense of vigilance towards all colorful things.
"How about picking a few out and seeing them?" Yi Qianhuan said as she pulled out a hairpin from her hair.
A strand of black hair fell by the ear, and the fragrance of the hair spread in the air.
Yi Qianhuan didn't care. He approached Ji Chilian and said to him, "This thread is very thin. It's hard for me to handle it by myself. Please help me hold it and I will pick out the thread."
Every breath he took was filled with the sweet fragrance of Yi Qianhuan. Ji Chilian looked at her figure so close to him and nodded silently.
Yi Qianhuan was not affected at all throughout the process and started to pick out the colorful silk threads with full concentration.
Because he was too focused, beads of sweat appeared on the tip of Yi Qianhuan's nose.
She was completely unaware and after working for nearly a quarter of an hour, she finally managed to pick out a colorful silk thread.
"It's done..." Before Yi Qianhuan could finish his words, he felt his hand pause.
The colorful, thin silk threads did not have the flexibility that normal silk threads should have. Instead, they were like fragile glass and broke directly.
"Be careful." Ji Chilian used a handkerchief to catch all the fragments. His eyes turned cold and he said, "Come here and take a closer look. Do these broken threads look like tiny fragments of the colorful stone?"
"This is not just similar, it's exactly the same. No wonder I felt uncomfortable just by looking at this thing, it turns out that this treasure bag is made of colorful stones."
Yi Qianhuan's expression was stiff: "Princess Lianhe said before that Yubao's body was affected by the seven-colored stone, so he can't touch the seven-colored stone anymore, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."
"No wonder Bao Huaer was so anxious to hand the brocade bag to Yu Bao. It turns out she had this idea in mind. I was originally curious about what means Princess Lianhe used to place the colorful stone next to Yu Bao. Now, based on what Bao Huaer did, I have figured it out." Ji Chilian said, pinching the amulet brocade bag in the handkerchief with force.
Suffering from a huge squeezing force, all the colorful stone threads mixed in the brocade bag broke into pieces and fell into the handkerchief.
"Sir, you can't be so arbitrary. It's still not certain that my sister-in-law did this. My sister-in-law and the others got the amulet from the temple. Maybe someone else took advantage of my sister-in-law." Yi Qianhuan said calmly.
"What you said is certainly possible. This governor will ask my men to investigate this matter, Huan'er, if this matter is really related to Bao Hua'er..." As Ji Chilian spoke, murderous intent was already rolling in his eyes.
"You can rest assured. If this is really done by my sister-in-law, you don't even need to wait for me to do anything. I will kill her with my own hands."
Thinking of Shen Yubao being tortured to death by the colorful stones, Yi Qianhuan wished he could grind the culprit to ashes.
She will not wrongly accuse any good person, and she will never let any bad person go!
"Hmm..." Ji Chilian groaned, and then all the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and his body leaned limply against Yi Qianhuan.
"Du Gong——!" Yi Qianhuan subconsciously supported Ji Chilian, and was surprised to find that this person had no strength at all and put all his weight on her.
In the blink of an eye, he was in close contact with Ji Chilian, and Yi Qianhuan lent strength to Ji Chilian several times.
But Ji Chilian tried hard for a long time and couldn't stand up at all.
"It's caused by the radiation from the colorful stones. I have been in contact with the colorful stones these days. Perhaps it's because the time is too long, so after coming into contact with the new colorful stones, my body was immediately affected by the radiation." As Ji Chilian spoke, beads of sweat the size of beans seeped out of his forehead, and he looked in pain.
"Princess Lianhe has medicine. I'll go get her."
"No need." Ji Chilian immediately grabbed Yi Qianhuan's hand.
Clearly feeling that Ji Chilian was holding his hand with exceptional strength, Yi Qianhuan looked at him in confusion.
But Ji Chilian's strength recovered only instantly, and his arms soon drooped down, as if he didn't even have the strength to raise his hands.
"Princess Lianhe has been trying to contact me. Besides, she is the culprit of all this. I am worried that she will take advantage of the opportunity to cure my illness to secretly attack my opponent. She brought a lot of poisons from Xijiang Kingdom. If I am poisoned by even one of them, it will bring many obstacles to our next plan." Ji Chilian said as he leaned his back against Yi Qianhuan.
Yi Qianhuan staggered under the pressure of this man and quickly held his waist.
Although Ji Chilian had no strength, he had a good figure, with muscles all over his body, broad shoulders and waist, which made Yi Qianhuan's thoughts go back to the night six years ago.
"What should we do then?" Yi Qianhuan's eyes showed anxiety.
