Chapter 235 Taking in Yang Dani
"Oh, my Your Highness! Come and see the Emperor!"
"Don't worry, there's still poison hidden in this room. It's probably incompatible with my medicine." This kind of poison enters through the respiratory tract and is very well hidden, so it's normal that no one knows about it.
"Oh dear, there's still some in the house!" Eunuch Cao hurriedly looked around, but couldn't find anything different.
"I'll look for it, don't move." Ji Yingying looked around and then asked Eunuch Cao, "What new items have been brought in recently?"
Eunuch Cao was anxious but thought carefully before saying, "Nothing has been brought in recently. His Majesty tests everything for poison."
"It's precisely because it's not poisonous that it's incompatible with other substances, which is why it works this way."
Ji Yingying looked around and took out her own prescription again, only to find that it was a plate of flowers when compared.
"These flowers..."
"These flowers were sent by the Imperial Household Department. Is there something wrong with them?"
"Sent by the Imperial Household Department?" Ji Yingying was a little puzzled. What was the meaning behind the Imperial Household Department sending these flowers?
[Host, this is just like any other day: flowers are delivered to the palace, they bloom beautifully, and then they're sent to the Emperor's bedchamber.]
"Alright!" Ji Yingying asked Eunuch Cao to move the flowers out and opened the window. She took out some medicine from her space and started an IV drip on her. Because of the IV drip and other issues, Ji Yingying decided not to go back.
He stayed up all night with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.
The emperor woke up after the needles were removed, and as soon as he woke up, he rushed to the toilet.
When the person returned, Ji Yingying chuckled twice, thinking to herself, "The IV drip I gave her will require me to run to the toilet, and quite a few times."
emperor:…………
"Your Majesty, you've slept all night, so don't go to the morning court session. Let the Crown Prince go instead. I can't go either, as I've been keeping watch over you all night and I'm too tired."
"Yingying, tell me the truth, how is my health?"
"It's not a big problem, the poison has been neutralized, and you're in pretty good health." The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second he heard her say: [As long as you don't do anything reckless, you won't die.]
Is this something to be pretentious about?
"Who poisoned me this time?"
"It's not me, it's not me!" Ji Yingying lowered her head. She hadn't considered that there might be something in the Emperor's room that would conflict with the medicine. Besides, the medicine was an antidote, and the flowers in his room were just something the palace servants had placed there casually. It was just a coincidence.
Your Majesty: ...You're certainly honest!
“Explain yourself…” Ji Yingying lowered her head and told him what had happened. After listening, the Emperor just sighed and waved his hand, “Alright, alright, you’ve been working hard all night. Go to the side hall and get some sleep.”
"No, I'm going home to sleep. See you tomorrow."
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
As soon as the person left, the emperor threw a tantrum and replaced the Imperial Household Department with a new batch of people.
Eunuch Cao sighed helplessly. When Ji Yingying was around, even a tiger wouldn't dare to stand up straight. But once Ji Yingying left, the tiger's fur wouldn't stay down!
When Ji Yingying woke up after taking a nap at home, Fang Yulan came over and called her to the main hall.
Ji Yingying yawned, changed her clothes, and went over. When she got to the door, she asked, "Mom, why did you call me over?"
As soon as she entered the main hall, the whole family was there, waiting for her.
Ji Yingying glanced at it, then yawned, sat down, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"
"Just woke up?" Ji Cailiang took a sip of tea. Seeing her like this, he knew without guessing that she had just woken up.
"Mmm, I stayed up all night watching over the Emperor and didn't get much sleep." Sleeping too much during the day can make you sleepy, and I'm still yawning right now.
A plate of fruit was on the table, and Ji Yingying began to eat.
"Oh, little sister just woke up, don't eat fruit, it's cold and raw and will easily cause stomach pain." After saying that, she asked someone to bring over some pastries.
"Second sister-in-law, you're such a kind person!"
"Alright, alright. The reason we're holding this family meeting is to inform you that this is your aunt's daughter, Yang Dani. She's come to Beijing to stay with our family. Your mother and I want to ask what you think about this," Ji Cailiang said.
Yang Dani immediately stood up and called out, "Greetings, eldest cousin, second cousin, second cousin's wife, and little cousin."
She was very flustered. She had heard that her younger cousin was a favorite of the emperor, and only Fang Yulan and her second cousin's wife in the family did not have any official positions.
Everyone else has a job to do.
"I've met my cousin."
Ji Jiayu, Ji Jiaming, and Yan Ni all responded politely. Since they had responded, Ji Yingying could only reply, "Greetings, cousin."
Ji Yingying didn't like this cousin at all; she just felt that she wasn't a good person.
"Tell me, what are your thoughts on your cousin?"
Ji Yingying was the first to speak: "I don't care, do whatever you want, I don't have that much time."
“I have no objection. The Ministry of Works has too many things to do, and my sister has assigned too many tasks. Now the Crown Prince wants me to be an imperial envoy to visit various cities and counties to promote the planting of sweet potatoes and corn.”
"Didn't the Right Vice Minister go there in the spring?" Ji Yingying remembered that when she was still in Youzhou City, the Emperor had sent the Right Vice Minister there.
Ji Jiaming shook his head: "Back then..."
"You're at home, don't bring your work back. Let's talk about your cousin now."
Ji Jiaming immediately shut up, but still said, "I have no objection to my cousin's matter."
“An’an and I have no objections.” An’an is Yanni’s nickname.
“Alright then, we’ll arrange for her to stay at home. She can find a reliable husband later. Do you have any objections, Da Ni?” Ji Cailiang was, after all, her uncle.
His older sister wasn't a reliable person either, and originally didn't want to take him in, but since he was sent by the King of Qi, it wouldn't be good to refuse.
"I have no objection; I'll do whatever my uncle says."
"OK."
"Da Ni, your aunt has already said that at most our family will give you fifty or sixty taels of silver. Can you accept that?"
Yang Dani lowered her head and replied, "Dani has no objection."
[Host, she has a problem!]
[Heh... I know. The fact that she went to seduce Prince Qi means she's not a good person. It doesn't matter. Anyway, her mother was at least a little bit nicer to our father before. For that reason alone, keeping her is fine.]
Yang Dani panicked. She recognized one of the voices as Ji Yingying's, but she couldn't identify the other voice.
The fact that my uncle and aunt could say it so openly and honestly means they probably... can't afford to offend them.
However, she didn't dare to look up.
Tell your mother to marry that person off quickly; we can't let outsiders tear our family apart!
"I know." Ji Yingying replied lazily. The next second, she heard Xiangxiang say, "You'd better be careful, or she might try to take advantage of your older brothers."
"It can't be that bad. Second brother is married; he wouldn't be that blind. As for eldest brother, he's leaving in a few days and won't be back for several months. Why would it be like this?"
【How could it not be that bad? Haven't you heard the story of the farmer and the snake?】
