Chapter 193 Ungrateful Wolf
[Well, that shows backbone. It all depends on the Crown Prince. If he's determined, then the Crown Princess will likely face difficulties.]
"Do you really think the Crown Prince has such poor taste?" Xiangxiang asked back.
[No, someone who can be attracted to someone like the Crown Princess can't possibly have bad taste. If the Crown Princess had married later, I'd even want to seduce her and make her my sister-in-law. She's so beautiful.]
[Heh...do you know how she ended up?]
[I'll probably die.]
[Immortal.]
"Then tell me the ending."
[She was resentful of being sent away and wanted revenge, so she tried to seduce the Seventh Prince, who then killed her.]
[She ruined the chance for her to pursue the seventh prince, causing his marriage to be unsuccessful.]
Good heavens, a palace maid is ruining the marriage prospects of the seventh prince? Is that appropriate?
[It's indeed inappropriate, but that's how the melons were collected. Any objections?]
No, no, is the Seventh Prince feeling any better?
【I don't know, I didn't even see her. If I can chase after her, that's pretty good.】
"Your Highness, I'm full." Ji Yingying touched her stomach; she was indeed stuffed.
"Then let's have some fruit before heading to the Ministry of Works." The Crown Princess even brought over a plate of fruit, all of which was frozen, because in such cold weather, where would we find fruit to eat?
"Aren't we going to the Imperial Hospital?" Ji Yingying asked back, somewhat puzzled, but her mouth didn't refuse to eat fruit at all.
These jellies, after being left out for a while, are actually incredibly delicious.
Is this sarcasm or...?
You don't understand because you can't eat it.
"Your Highness, I'm full. I'm going to my duty now. I'll see you again next time."
"Okay, sure."
The Emperor has issued an order that Ji Yingying is not allowed to go home for meals whenever she comes to court; she can only leave after her shift ends.
This is also to prevent her from not wanting to come out again after going back.
As soon as the woman left, the Crown Princess dealt with her immediately, nipping any further attempts to seduce the Seventh Prince in the bud and resolutely preventing her from ever appearing before him.
Ji Yingying went directly to the Imperial Hospital. It was snowing outside, and she felt cold walking in the corridor.
[It's so cold, and I can't even relax at home like a couch potato? I have to work! I'm completely exhausted.]
It's really cold; the weather looks unbearably cold.
Just as Ji Yingying was about to say something to it, Xiangxiang immediately said, "[The palace maids and eunuchs ahead have some gossip.]"
What kind of melon?
【watermelon. 】
[Hiss~] This joke isn't funny!
Before becoming a eunuch, he was a local merchant with two shops and a comfortable life. After coming of age, he married and had two children, but then his rebellious phase began.
How to say it?
He fell in love with a woman, but she wasn't a good person. She strung him along and then seduced a eunuch from the palace. The eunuch disguised himself as an official and kidnapped the woman. For her sake, he chased after her into the palace, all youthful and beautiful.
He didn't know it when he entered the palace. It wasn't until he was cut up that he realized he had been hanged. But once he was inside the palace, it was difficult for him to leave, so he just stayed there.
[After contacting his family, his wife was furious and completely abandoned him. The two elderly people in the family also stopped caring about their son and instead started training their grandchildren to manage the family shop.]
This is not bad!
He felt his family was heartless and ungrateful, refusing to save him and even trying to kill them.
[Is this a dangerous individual?]
【almost. 】
[You know which palace he's from, quickly have someone restrain him, we can't let him actually kill those people.]
[They're in the imperial kitchen.]
[The eunuch who serves food, can he endure this kind of hardship?]
[They can't afford it all, so they're trying to use their connections to make things easier for themselves.]
"Let someone protect that family." Ji Yingying walked past the eunuch and asked again, "What about the palace maid? Could she also be here because of love?"
【right……】
[Could it be that you also intend to kill someone?]
She didn't want to; she just wanted to kill the woman who was with that man. Even if she didn't want to see him, she wouldn't allow any other woman to be near him.
She even considered imprisoning the man.
[Oh wow~ Forced love, huh? What a woman, she really knows how to play games. Who's that man? That eunuch?]
She wasn't a eunuch; she was a junior physician in the Imperial Medical Academy, and that physician didn't even know her.
How did she fall in love with that imperial physician?
She fell ill, and the imperial physician happened to pass by, inadvertently saved her, and even more inadvertently offered her a few words of advice. That's how she came to have her eye on her.
[The imperial physician's surname is Han. Physician Han is getting married. The girl is a concubine's daughter from the Yan family.]
What? That guy... the one who bullied my second sister-in-law?
[No, she's a concubine's daughter from a collateral branch of the Yan family, not a member of the Yan family. Besides, the two get along quite well. If this palace maid interferes, Imperial Physician Han might have trouble finding a wife.]
[This is like rescuing someone and ending up with an ungrateful wretch.]
That seems to be true.
I'll remind Imperial Physician Han to be careful later, but if he also wants this palace maid as a concubine, that's none of my business.
After Ji Yingying entered the Imperial Hospital, she dealt with the matter and then met with Physician Han.
He looked like an old-fashioned person. Ji Yingying told him about the palace maid.
"Don't ask me how I know, I just know." Ji Yingying originally wanted to use the princess's name to explain, but in the end she decided against it.
Using the title of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works is enough.
"I will handle it."
After the person left, Ji Yingying quickly asked, "So, what's his plan?"
He planned to take her as a concubine; they were all women who admired her, so it would be good to take them as concubines.
Good heavens, just as I suspected. That illegitimate daughter of the Yan family is from a collateral branch. If she's a good person, we shouldn't push her into a fire pit.
If they're willing, then it's fine.
Since that's the case, Ji Yingying still sent Rong Er a letter to that illegitimate daughter, instructing him to handle the situation as the other party wished.
After leaving the Imperial Hospital, Ji Yingying immediately went to the Ministry of Works. As soon as she arrived, her officials presented her with a huge pile of memorials.
Ji Yingying was stunned when she saw it.
"So many?" I dared not open my eyes, hoping it was just my imagination.
[It's been so long since you've been here, so this is to be expected.]
There was no other way but to deal with it.
Good heavens, the things these people write are truly unbearable to read. They're so long and drawn out, and they don't get to the point at all.
[You could suggest simplifying it. Everyone else is writing so much; it's tiring for their hands and dizzying for their eyes to read.]
[Whatever, it's not like it's my turn to see it.] Even the emperor didn't say anything, so why is she...interfering?
Then... the second memorial, the third memorial... finally, she couldn't take it anymore.
