Chapter 286 King Qi is ill



[Isn't it said that you shouldn't pick wildflowers or weeds by the roadside? Why did you pick them all?]

"Where did you get this man from?"

"I picked it up over there." The little prince said, pointing to a place not far away.

"Does this person belong to some organization?" Mu Kaiji asked while examining his wounds.

Actually, he wanted to ask Xiangxiang. But Ji Yingying said directly, "It shouldn't be. I've already taken over the largest organization. Any other organization would just be a small one."

[Who said that? What kind of organization is yours?]

Who is he?

[He was a killer. He failed in his mission and was sentenced to death by his master. Unfortunately, he didn't die.]

"Hey, how's your skill?" Ji Yingying asked back, eager to know.

【not bad.】

【Then I'll save him. He can become the Crown Prince's bodyguard. But I've seen the Crown Prince's bodyguards; they're not very good, not as good as mine.】

If Emperor Xuande were there, he would have said directly: Your secret guards are the late emperor's secret guards. Logically, after the late emperor passed away, they were supposed to guard the imperial mausoleum. Now only one team has been dispatched there, and the rest are hers.

[That's fine. This little prince is at least a wise ruler. The future of the country depends on him.]

They were rescued, but they had to stay here for several days until they woke up and were confirmed to be okay.

Ji Yingying simply handed it over to Rong Er and told him to make the arrangements.

"Master, why do we have to stay in the mountains every day? It's driving me crazy."

"If you don't want to stay in the mountains, what do you want to do?"

Ji Yingying asked in return, actually she also wanted to go into the city, but she was worried about being surrounded and having to return to Beijing.

After seeing many mountain views, we finally entered the city. This time, we went directly to Linfeng City.

"To be honest, I've never been here before, and it seems like there's a lot of noodles here."

It is very similar to modern Shaanxi, with strong winds and sand. Every household lives in mud houses with a lot of corn hanging at the door.

"I think so too. This should be a village. Shall we stay here for a while?"

Ji Yingying thought it was a good idea, so she decided to stay here for a while.

They asked the village chief to arrange for them to stay in a fellow villager's home, and they specifically chose a family in need, consisting of a widowed mother and her two sons.

The eldest son got married, and his wife is a good person. The second son is a scholar with good grades, but he is in poor health and seems to have been poisoned.

This family could also be a main character.

How do you say it?

[Their biological father was murdered. It must have been a wealthy family. He caught the young mistress cheating on him, and on his way home, he was pushed off a cliff and his body was never found. Their biological mother was sickly. Their eldest son's family were farmers, and their youngest son was a scholar, but a scholar with poor health.]

[Tsk tsk~]

When it was time to eat, the family still served them the highest-quality food.

"We have nothing to offer you."

"It doesn't matter, this is already the best." Ji Yingying didn't care. If she didn't care, then neither did the young prince and Mu Kaiji.

After finishing her meal, Ji Yingying said, "I can help take a look at the Second Young Master's health."

When Ji Yingying was about to demonstrate her medical skills, the little prince immediately stood aside, ready to learn from her.

"You also want to learn medicine?"

The young prince nodded: "Father said that I must learn all of the master chef's skills, even if it's just the basics. The same goes for the junior master's skills; I can't let them slip by."

“Your father is shameless. Fine, then come and learn medicine from me.” Ji Yingying took his pulse, wrote a prescription, and then handed him the medical book.

"You can take a look at this. If you don't understand, just ask me. By the way, I was self-taught."

"Master, you are amazing! I never thought you could have such high medical skills through self-study. I can do it too."

"Well, that depends on personal ability." If you don't have the ability, it won't work.

"All right!"

After staying in the village for a few days, the second son's health improved considerably. When he was about to leave, Mu Kaiji offered to pay for his lodging, but the family refused to accept it.

“You saved my second brother, we can’t accept this money. Our family is poor and has no money. We will definitely repay this kindness.”

"Yes, the three of you are from the capital. If I pass the exam, I will definitely repay this kindness."

"We'll see when the time comes; we don't even know when we'll be back."

You can repay the favor, we'll talk about it later.

This can also be considered as finding a disciple for the crown prince.

Days passed, and at the end of August, King Qi fell seriously ill. After regaining consciousness, he began to send people to bring Ji Yingying back.

Upon hearing that Prince Qi was ill, Ji Yingying hurriedly returned home. After arriving in the capital, she did not rush home but went directly to Prince Qi's residence.

This little old man doesn't look old at all, but somehow he's become so thin he's practically skin and bones.

"Why did you get yourself into this state?" Ji Yingying asked, feeling sorry for her. Among these elders of the opposite sex, the late emperor and Prince Qi were the ones who treated her the best.

The late emperor is gone, and now it seems the Prince of Qi is next?

"It went into the water a couple of days ago."

"What's your physical condition? You went into the water. Are you trying to kill yourself?" Before Ji Yingying got angry, Mu Kaiji got angry first and even scolded the servants.

This made everyone afraid to provoke Mu Kaiji.

Although he is unwilling to be the crown prince, he is also the adopted son of the King of Qi. If nothing unexpected happens, the King of Qi's property will be his.

"Don't be angry, I didn't mean to."

"Whether it's intentional or not, you can't do this."

Because the King of Qi was ill, Ji Yingying stayed in the capital this year and celebrated the King of Qi's birthday.

The officials went to court honestly and took good care of the children; in any case, the young prince learned quite a bit.

Her personality is becoming more and more like Ji Yingying's, even more terrifying than her.

However, since his intentions were good, Emperor Xuande stopped interfering.

At the end of the year, King Qi finally couldn't hold on any longer and passed away!

The entire Qi Prince's Mansion was inherited by Mu Kaiji, who then became the new Qi Prince.

However, due to her mourning period for Prince Qi, Ji Yingying stayed at Prince Qi's residence for half a month before returning home.

After the New Year, everyone went back to work. Mu Kaiji was also pulled out of his job by Emperor Xuande and asked to take over the Dali Temple. Lord Gongsun had also retired.

He was supposed to retire two years ago, but he kept putting it off until now.

In early March, Lord He passed away, and Ji Yingying went to pay her respects. After all, they were both veteran officials in the same court, so it was only right for her to go and see him off.

After everyone had left, Ji Yingying couldn't help but sigh, "They're clearly colleagues, so what? Do they expect me to see them off one by one?"

It's not impossible. They're already quite old; in this day and age, it's already impressive for a man to live to his sixties.

Minister Gong is over fifty years old. This old guy doesn't dare to chase Ji Yingying recently. Instead, he asked Mu Kaiji to help keep Ji Yingying.
