"Mom, why did you decide to come and pick me up?" Ji Yingying snuggled into her arms and asked coquettishly.
"It's all your fault. You've been doing these outrageous things lately."
When she arrived at the palace gate, she heard that he had offended several ministers again this morning at court, even interfering in their private affairs.
This daughter, I will be so lucky if she can behave herself.
If Ji Yingying knew what she was thinking, she'd probably scold her: "Rules? If she really wanted rules, she'd probably worry even more!"
"Just tell me, where are you going after the court session? Don't mention the Ministry of Works, because that's not the direction."
"No, I plan to go to the Princess's Mansion. Mother, please take me there. I haven't been there yet."
[This is where I'll be living in the future, how can I not go and check it out?]
[Host, you really care about living in the princess's residence, huh? Didn't you used to say there's no place like home, even a golden nest? Now you're even complaining about your own doghouse?]
No, I don't mind. It's just that living in the princess's residence is so convenient. It makes this and that easier for me. At home, my mother keeps a tight rein on me.
[Oh my... You're not even an adult yet and you're already thinking about what it will be like after you're an adult? You're really dreaming!]
[It's not what I thought was beautiful, but I feel like I can live independently. Nowadays, people can live on their own after turning 18. The world is no longer so rule-bound.]
[To put it bluntly, it's just to make things easier for you.]
【Just so you know! 】
"mother……"
Ji Yingying called out again and shook her arm.
"Of course, but I have to be frank. If you want to live in the Princess's Mansion, you can't. If you really want to live there, you have to wait until you are eighteen. After you turn eighteen, you can live however you want."
"I know, I know."
【Great! I knew my mother was easy to talk to. If I'm still not married by eighteen, I'll go to the princess's mansion and keep ten or eight male models... no, I mean male concubines. When I'm thirty, I'll choose a handsome man, leave my genes, and have a child. Then I'll have experienced the three great joys of life.】
[Will getting promoted and getting rich mean your husband will die? ]
Otherwise...
The next second, he was poked on the head by his own mother.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"I'm telling you, don't do anything rash. The emperor favors you now, but that doesn't mean he will continue to favor you in the future!"
"hehe……"
Just as they were about to enter the princess's residence, Eunuch Cao arrived.
"Your Highness, the Emperor just vomited blood. Please come back with me to see him."
"What?"
[Did she vomit blood?] Before she could even complain, her mother patted her back with such force that it almost made her vomit blood.
"Mom, are you really my mother? Why are you slapping me like that?"
"She also said to hurry into the palace to see what's wrong with the Emperor." Fang Yulan spoke up, and Ji Yingying had no choice but to immediately go into the palace with Eunuch Cao.
On the way, Ji Yingying couldn't help but gossip: "Is the Emperor too deeply poisoned? Is the Crown Prince going to ascend the throne?"
[It can't be that bad. Imperial Physician Liu is quite capable, and besides, there's a possibility that Eunuch Cao's poison has been neutralized.]
[Do you see that Eunuch Cao is no longer poisoned?]
I can't tell.
[So what's the possibility of solving it?]
[Because he just went to take medicine.]
【All right.】
"Eunuch, are you poisoned?" Ji Yingying leaned over and asked. Eunuch Cao immediately nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am only worried about the Emperor."
"Your Majesty, he only coughed up blood, did he faint?"
Eunuch Cao shook his head. It was just that Ji Yingying had said before that the emperor was poisoned. Although the imperial physician had saved him, he was still worried.
"I think you should worry about yourself. I think your poison is even more serious than the emperor's. You might die, but the emperor won't."
"Then this old slave is willing to die first, as long as the emperor is healthy!"
[As expected, he's the Emperor's loyal servant. The Emperor is truly fortunate to have such a good person by his side.]
[Host, you can do it if you want to.]
I can’t afford it.
No, you can be one.
"If I can't do it, then we're not the kind of people who can accomplish great things."
If she were someone who could do great things, she would definitely be a prime minister with utmost power. But now she is just a minor official.
When they arrived at the Imperial Study, the Emperor was still sitting peacefully in his chair, reading memorials.
"Your Majesty, I thought you were so weak you were spitting blood, but I didn't expect you to be so energetic!"
"Hmph! It's all because you just dropped the report and left without following up at all."
"I've already figured out a plan, why do you want me to follow suit?" Ji Yingying walked over to stand beside him, motioning him, "Stretch out your hand. Let me see what the King of Hell wants you to do..." She didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but internally complained, "Oh my god! You're so complacent! I hope the old emperor is hallucinating!"
[He seems not to have heard. Take his pulse carefully and make amends.]
【All right!】
"The poisoning isn't serious. I'll write a prescription and ask Court Judge Liu to prescribe some medicine. It'll be fine after two days of taking it. It's not a small problem. That's right, Your Majesty, listen to me. Sleep with fewer women. Your kidneys are weak!"
Ji Yingying ran away immediately after she finished speaking. She didn't care how angry the person behind her was.
After running out, Ji Yingying couldn't help but sigh: [I was so scared! I thought the Emperor was going to chase me and kill me!]
Is the Emperor truly suffering from kidney deficiency?
[Yes, a little, not serious, two doses will do.] She and Xiangxiang were chatting as they walked, not realizing the King of Qi was behind her. She had wanted to greet him, but after hearing what she had said, he didn't bother to greet her and went straight to the Imperial Study.
He entered the palace only after hearing that the emperor vomited blood.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you have kidney deficiency?" The King of Qi started yelling as soon as he came in.
The emperor, who was just about to calm down, suddenly became furious.
"Oh, nephew, don't be angry. You are already this old. Kidney deficiency is nothing. But I, your uncle, really can't do that anymore."
"Didn't Ji Yatou get cured?"
"I'm not well yet. They said it won't be that fast. Anyway, I've taken the medicine and done everything. I'll just have to wait."
Prince Qi sat down. The pastries in the Imperial Study were getting better and better, entirely thanks to Ji Yingying. This girl loved to eat, and the Emperor specially prepared a lot of delicious food to serve her in the Imperial Study in order to please her.
"If you're not well, keep eating. Why did you come to the palace?"
Although the King of Qi was in the capital, he spent every day planting flowers and strolling around, making people unwilling to work in the palace and even avoiding him.
Just because Ji Yingying said he was the emperor's crony, he stopped going to the palace unless absolutely necessary.
"I heard you vomited blood, so I came in specifically to see you, to comfort this old man who has to bury his son."
"It's nothing, just a small matter."
"Since it's a small matter, I'll go play mahjong with my niece-in-law. I'll just win some money to drink with her." The King of Qi waved his hand and left. The Emperor was also helpless.
But what can be said? Those women in the harem have really taken to playing mahjong lately.
