Chapter 470 Holding a grudge since childhood
Ji Mingzhu vomited blood and fainted. When Zhou Jianying rushed forward, she was stopped by Nanny Wang.
"Don't touch her."
Zhou Jianying's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. Nanny Wang lowered her eyes and said, "Don't bother me. I'll do it."
After Nanny Wang finished speaking, Zhou Jianying could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes.
She knew that they disliked her.
When Ji Mingzhu vomited blood, Xixi had already asked Chunque to call the imperial physician. Now, looking at the somewhat unfamiliar Zhou Jianying, she thought for a moment and reached out to her father.
Ji Sheng walked forward and ignored everyone and held Xixi in his arms.
Xixi turned her head and saw that when Ji Mingzhu and Zhou Jianying were arguing, the nanny who was full of poisonous insects had been taken away.
Xixi leaned close to her father's ear and asked, "Daddy, does she have the Gu worm that I like?"
Ji Sheng: "...Children can't play with poisonous insects."
Xixi pouted and said, "Why are there so many things that children can't do?"
"If children can't do it, then the little emperor can't do it either?" Xixi felt that children and little emperors were different.
Ji Sheng looked at Xixi, who was increasingly fond of asking rhetorical questions, and said, "No."
"Oh." Xixi lowered her head and looked at Ji Mingzhu lying on the bed and said, "Will Grandpa die?"
"have no idea."
"Alas~"
Ji Sheng: "Children should not sigh."
Xixi glanced at her father and said, "I don't want to be a child anymore!"
As she said that, Xixi got off her father's body.
Children have too little freedom, she wants to be an adult!
Not many people paid attention to Xixi's little temper, and now everyone's attention was focused on Ji Mingzhu.
When the imperial physician arrived, his face turned pale after feeling Ji Mingzhu's pulse.
If Ji Mingzhu had ten days or half a month to live before, now three days is considered a long time to live.
"Madame Wang, the eldest princess..."
Everyone knew that Nanny Wang was a medical practitioner, and Ji Mingzhu's health condition was also taken care of by the Imperial Hospital and Nanny Wang.
Of course, Nanny Wang could also take the pulse if the imperial physician could. She nodded with a gloomy face and forced herself to discuss with the imperial physician how to prolong Ji Mingzhu's life.
When Ji Sheng took Xixi away, Zhou Beifang stepped forward and patted Zhou Jianying on the shoulder, "Aying."
Zhou Jianying lowered her head and said, "Go ahead. I want to stay here."
"Aying?" Zhou Beifang felt a little worried when he heard Zhou Jianying's haggard and depressed voice.
He had always been perceptive, and of course he noticed that everyone in the hall was secretly looking at him.
"You go first!"
Zhou Beifang listened to Zhou Jianying's deepening tone and said to Nanny Wang, who had been staying by Ji Mingzhu's side, "When Her Royal Highness the Princess wakes up, please tell her that although I am from a foreign race, I am from the Great Zhou."
"Zhou Jianying married me and didn't betray her family or her bloodline. She didn't betray anyone."
Nanny Wang raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Beifang coldly, "Get lost."
Zhou Beifang frowned at Nanny Wang's rude remarks, but thinking that Zhou Jianying was still here, he patted her on the shoulder and said to her, "I'll wait for you outside the palace."
This time Zhou Jianying didn't say anything. Zhou Beifang turned around and left after he finished speaking.
With him here, the people around Ji Mingzhu will only be more critical of Zhou Jianying.
…
When Ji Mingzhu woke up again, it was early morning of the next day.
The sky outside was pitch black, so dark that there was no sign of hope.
"Your Highness."
Nanny Wang hadn't slept all night, and when she saw Ji Mingzhu wake up, she couldn't contain her joy.
Zhou Jianying, who was standing by, heard Nanny Wang calling her mother and subconsciously wanted to call her as well, but when she thought about how Ji Mingzhu was so angry that she vomited blood, she shrank aside silently.
"What time is it?"
"One quarter of an hour in the morning."
Ji Mingzhu looked out the dark window and said, "Light the lamp."
Nanny Wang looked at the candlelight in the bedroom and without saying a word, she immediately ordered someone to light the lamp again.
There was silence in the hall for a long time. Ji Mingzhu looked at the bedroom which was gradually getting brighter and spoke.
"Xiuying, am I wrong?"
Nanny Wang listened to Ji Mingzhu's weak voice, knelt beside her and said, "That's right."
"The Regent is cruel. News arrived on the second day of the lunar year that the court has recently been accusing the Regent of monopolizing power and attempting to usurp the throne. He deserves death."
Nanny Wang said to Ji Mingzhu, who remained indifferent, "Your Highness's illness was well concealed, and the court still hoped that Your Highness could stand up to the Regent, so..."
Nanny Wang stepped forward and held Ji Mingzhu's hand, which was even colder than the moonlight, and said, "Your Highness, please get better."
"Even if the entire court is opposed, what matters is that the cabinet and the prime ministers have opinions about him."
When Nanny Wang saw that Ji Mingzhu finally perked up a little, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
"Your Highness is right."
"Where's Saigu?"
Nanny Wang was silent for a moment, then said, "He was imprisoned in the Black Prison by the Prince Regent."
"Ahem!" Black Prison.
A black prison where you can barely escape death.
When Nanny Wang heard Ji Mingzhu coughing, she walked forward nervously. Ji Mingzhu covered her mouth with her left hand and raised her right hand to indicate that she was fine.
"master?"
"Nothing." She was just a little tired. "What about the third year of junior high?"
As soon as Ji Mingzhu finished speaking, Chu San appeared in front of Ji Mingzhu.
"master."
Ji Mingzhu saw Chu San and nodded.
"Do you... regret it?"
After the words fell, Chu San knelt beside Nanny Wang and said, "I will go through fire and water for my master, even until my death."
"Hahaha."
Ji Mingzhu smiled until her eyes became wet.
Ji Mingzhu never imagined that he would rise from a high position of power to his current situation.
She underestimated Ji Sheng, underestimated human nature, and underestimated everything.
One wrong step leads to all wrong steps.
She wanted to make the mistake all the way.
"well……"
Ji Mingzhu looked at Chu San and Nanny Wang's white hair and sighed deeply.
"Xiuying."
"Slave is here."
"Don't bother." Ji Mingzhu lost interest and looked at Wang Ma and said, "Don't let him think I'm an old fool who can be fooled easily."
Put on a big show before she dies and tease her as a loser.
Nanny Wang lowered her head and shed tears. She just wanted Ji Mingzhu to get what she wanted in her last days.
Even if everything was fake, she didn't want her to die with hatred, so she went to beg Ji Sheng, asking him to help her, asking him to let her master "win" once.
"This little bastard has been holding a grudge since he was a child." Ji Mingzhu said slowly, "He hates me for breaking up him and Shu'er."
"But he doesn't think about it. If he is the first person in Shu'er's heart, I can't break it up even if I want to, just like..."
Ji Mingzhu didn't finish what she was saying, but everyone present knew that Ji Mingzhu was talking about Zhou Jianying.
"Master!" Nanny Wang cried out. There was nothing she could do. Ji Mingzhu's current condition looked too much like she was leaving a last will.
Ji Mingzhu patted Wang Ma's hands when she heard her crying. "You're so old, how can you keep crying like that?"
Ji Mingzhu exhaled a breath of foul air and said to Nanny Wang, "Change my clothes."
"On the third day of the new year, clean the hall." She closed her eyes tiredly, "Don't let me see any dirt."
Zhou Jianying, kneeling on the ground, trembled unconsciously.
Chusan whispered, "Yes."
"Go and fetch me our regent."
"……yes."
