When the empress dowager saw that she looked worried, she thought she was worried about Ji Chenan being alone in the palace.
So he said, "The messenger who went to the palace today has returned and told me that Chen'er is planning to hold a palace banquet in the palace next month."
"Palace banquet?" Jiang Ziyi frowned slightly. Why would Ji Chenan hold a palace banquet at this time?
"It should be the announcement of the pregnancy." The Queen Mother said slowly.
Jiang Ziyi: ???
Pregnant? Who is pregnant?
Seeing her shocked expression, the Queen Mother covered her mouth and laughed, "I forgot to tell you, Mingyue has now been named Consort Yue, and she's pregnant."
Jiang Ziyi was full of questions. It had only been two months. What had happened in the palace? And wasn't Ji Chenan infertile?
Seeing her expression darken, the Queen Mother quickly said, "Don't worry, the child is definitely not Chen'er's!"
Jiang Ziyi's pupils were even more shocked. Mingyue was pregnant and was named a noble concubine, but the child was not Ji Chenan's.
What is Ji Chenan doing? Is he cheating on himself and even holding a palace banquet to announce it?
But the Queen Mother remained calm. She half chuckled and said, "I suspect this child was deliberately pushed out as a target."
It has to be said that after all, she was the woman who gave birth to Ji Chenan, so the Queen Mother had some understanding of Ji Chenan's thoughts.
Both mother and son are equally evil.
Jiang Ziyi was still a little shocked. Mingyue was actually pregnant, and the Queen Mother said that her child was not Ji Chenan's. Then whose was it?
She didn't know the answer to this question now, and could only wait for Ji Chenan to tell her later.
"I am telling you this now just for your amusement. Don't think too much about it." Seeing that she was still a little shocked, the Queen Mother comforted her in a gentle voice.
"Okay, mother." Jiang Ziyi replied obediently.
Jiang Ziyi thought that Ji Chenan must have used some method to make Mingyue think that the child in her belly was his. Otherwise, with Mingyue's personality, she would probably have tried to commit suicide by now.
She curled the corners of her lips. This Ji Chenan was really bad. In his eyes, the punishment she gave to the servants was nothing! He just came up with a king bomb!
In a blink of an eye, the palace banquet is about to begin.
That night, Qin Yao set out from the Qin family in a carriage under the cover of darkness and arrived at the King of Jin's fiefdom in three days.
When Ji Chenjing's subordinates brought Qin Yao to see him, he was distracted for a moment.
He had also seen Qin Yao when she was canonized as Concubine Duan. Although she was not particularly beautiful at that time, she looked like a normal person.
But now, he is described as haggard and emaciated.
Even his expression was full of misery.
But the viciousness in her eyes still revealed her madness and paranoia.
Ji Chenjing immediately knew that he had found the right person.
He spent a month transforming Qin Yao, hired someone to teach her basic martial arts, and even hired someone under his command who was proficient in disguise to make some subtle changes to her face.
It was not known whether it was due to her extraordinary talent or her deep hatred for the women around Ji Chenan, but Qin Yao had actually learned the tricks quite well in the past month. Although she could not kill people invisibly like an assassin, she could still climb over walls and trees and capture women.
Moreover, her face was no longer as miserable as when she first arrived. After the help of disguise and clothes, she really looked like a smart maid.
When Prince Jin saw this, he nodded to her with satisfaction.
Before leaving, he handed a small black bottle to Qin Yao.
Qin Yao looked at the small, inky black porcelain bottle in her hand, a puzzled look on her face.
Ji Chenjing explained: "What's in here is a special abortion pill that I asked someone to make. Just one pill can cause a miscarriage and seriously damage your vitality. You just need to find an opportunity to let Concubine Yue eat it at the palace banquet..."
Qin Yao held the black porcelain bottle tightly, and a flash of coldness passed through her eyes.
She still remembers the woman who was imprisoned in the dungeon with her. Thinking that she has become Concubine Yue, Qin Yao can't sleep or eat.
She couldn't wait even a day, she just wanted to get rid of her immediately!
"How long does it take for this medicine to work?" she asked.
"It will take no more than half a quarter of an hour at the latest, and you don't have to worry about it being detected by the silver needle. It only works on pregnant women." Ji Chenjing was afraid that she didn't understand, so he explained it to her.
Qin Yao held the small black porcelain bottle in her hand, her eyes darkening...
When the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, Qin Yao lifted the curtain and looked up at the place where she had lived for several years. Even though she changed her expression, she still couldn't hide the hatred in her eyes.
Realizing that she seemed to be out of control, Ji Chenjing pretended to cough twice.
Qin Yao then managed to control her expression, but the hatred in her eyes had not diminished at all, it had just hidden deeper.
After Ji Chenjing took Qin Yao out of the car, he handed the invitation to the guard at the door and swaggered into the palace.
Qin Yao's disguise was very successful, and no one realized that the maid behind Prince Jin was the former Concubine Duan.
After entering the palace, as there was still some time before the departure banquet began, Prince Jin said to the eunuch who was leading the way, "You should leave first. It's still early. I want to walk around here by myself."
"yes."
After the young eunuch left, he pulled Qin Yao aside and whispered, "Noble Concubine Yue lives in the Millennium Palace. Go to the vicinity and see if there's a chance to take her down. If you succeed, come directly to the palace banquet to find me."
In fact, she had no intention of returning. She even planned to kill Concubine Yue and die together with her...
But the King of Jin seemed to see through her thoughts at this moment. He patted her shoulder and said, "Remember, don't be impulsive."
When Qin Yao heard this, her face was shocked. She pursed her lips, did not reply to Ji Chenjing, bowed, and turned towards the Millennium Palace.
Ji Chenjing looked at her back, sighed imperceptibly, and headed towards the palace banquet.
Since today's palace banquet is mainly to announce that Concubine Yue is pregnant, the Millennium Palace is now particularly lively.
Everyone was busy dressing up Mingyue, trying to make her look perfect at the palace banquet today.
Qin Yao hid near the Millennium Palace and felt the festive and peaceful atmosphere inside. The darkness in her eyes grew darker.
As luck would have it, a palace maid passed by at this moment. She quickly walked behind the palace maid and knocked her unconscious with a sharp knife strike.
She dragged the palace maid to an empty rockery, stripped off her clothes and put them on herself.
After she was dressed, she blocked the mouth of the knocked-out palace maid, tied her hands with the rope she carried with her, and then walked out from behind the rockery.
She had apparently transformed from a maidservant of Prince Jin to an ordinary palace maid of the Yao Kingdom.
