Chapter 133 God thinks the scene is not chaotic enough (asking for monthly tickets)
"Impossible! Yinxiang, we saw him the day before yesterday." Tao Wanyin turned to the maid behind her: "Yinxiang, right?"
Yinxiang's eyes flickered as she watched Prince Yong turning the thumb of his jade ring. She lowered her head and said, "Princess, calm down. Xiao Ningzi did die last month."
Ji Qingwu keenly caught the eye contact between them and was surprised.
The Queen Mother asked with concern: "Minghong, how are you?"
Zhao Minghong said, "What nonsense are the princess and mother talking about? I am fine. My brother just summoned me to the Qinzheng Palace and invited the genius doctor Le Xi from Lin'an to check my pulse. He said that I just didn't get enough rest and I will get better in half a month."
The emperor invited Le Xi, the most famous doctor who specializes in treating difficult diseases, to come over?
It turned out that Prince Yong was summoned to see a doctor.
The empress dowager calmed down. Since the emperor was still close to Prince Yong, she didn't need to ask what happened that night and just let it go.
Tao Wanyin said, "Impossible...I clearly took that medicine..." There was obvious confusion and bewilderment in her words.
"Yinxiang, what's wrong with the princess these days? She talks incoherently and acts crazy." Prince Yong interrupted seemingly casually.
Yinxiang said carefully, "The princess has not been pregnant for many years. She was diagnosed with pregnancy a while ago and was too happy for a while. She is not very clear-headed."
Ji Qingwu's fingers were easily crossed and placed leisurely on her legs. Now that things had come to this, the blame would not fall on her.
Although there are many puzzles, the crisis has been resolved.
At this time, Shi Xi walked in from the door, glanced at Ji Qingwu in the palace, and brought news: "Old Madam Ji heard that the fifth young lady was summoned to the palace, so she sent someone to pass on the message."
Ji Qingwu immediately pricked up his ears and listened.
The empress dowager rubbed her brows lightly, and recalled the incident with Ji Changyan. The mother and daughter had been unhappy since then and had not been in touch for a long time.
"What did mother say?" asked the Queen Mother.
Shixi said, "The old lady said that Miss Five has an unruly temperament. If she has made any mistakes, I hope the Queen Mother will be magnanimous. The Li family, the Grand Secretary of the Palace, has chosen Miss Five as the wife of their third son."
Ji Qingwu sighed. Although her grandmother was not completely heartless and wanted to keep her, she wanted to use marriage as a bargaining chip and marry her off to Li San.
But it was too late, the Queen Mother had no intention of punishing her.
The Queen Mother looked at her thoughtfully, thinking that if the Ji family could form a marriage with the Li family, it would be a great help to the Ji family.
Princess Qingyun turned her head and looked at Ji Qingwu.
The emotion in his eyes was clear, as if he was looking at a vixen, meaning why are you still involved with the third son of the Li family.
Ji Qingwu sighed repeatedly.
In just a short while, she was involved with three men.
But God thought the scene wasn't chaotic enough.
A familiar shrill voice came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Everyone quickly stood up and saluted.
He said in a calm voice: "No need to be polite, we are all family."
Emperor Wu Su was wearing a bright yellow Sichuan-style tribute satin robe embroidered with a dragon pattern. He strode into the main hall with brisk steps, without looking around, as if he didn't care who was in the hall. Ji Qingwu followed him with his eyes. The two had just parted at Zhaixing Tower this morning, and they did not expect to meet again a few hours later.
But the emperor didn't even pay her any attention.
It seemed as if, accompanied by the glow of the red sun, facing the towering green mountains, it was another person who was hugging and kissing her passionately, wanting to press her into his burning body.
Fanghua hurriedly added a chair next to the empress dowager and waited for the emperor to take a seat.
Li Yuzong and Fanghua looked at each other, nodded, and stood behind their master.
Ji Qingwu suppressed the waves in his heart, retracted his gaze, and rubbed his fingers.
She knew with a little thought that the reason why Prince Yong insisted that he had never seen her was probably because...
The emperor was well aware of the affairs of the Cining Palace, and when Prince Yong was summoned, he must have received "special instructions".
However, things were almost over, so why did he still show up?
Emperor Wu Su seemed to be unaware of everything and said in a good mood, "It's really lively here, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother wanted to suppress the matter, so she smiled and said, "Wanyin is pregnant, Minghong brought his wife to pay respects to me."
Emperor Wu Su smiled and said, "This is a happy event."
His eyes were cold and he continued, "It's just that I heard that Princess Yong arrived at the Cining Palace early in the morning and had an argument with the fifth lady of the Ji family."
The news still leaked to the emperor's ears.
The Queen Mother explained: "Your Majesty, there was no dispute. We were just chatting."
Prince Yong also tried to smooth things over, "Brother, it's just a quarrel between women, it's not a serious matter."
Qingyun nodded but didn't dare to say anything. She was punished by the emperor a few days ago and was very scared.
Emperor Wu Su did not look at Ji Qingwu, but said to Princess Yong: "Why do you look so sad, Princess? You must have been bullied."
Ji Qingwu looked at him, then turned to look at Tao Wanyin.
He didn't even look at her, but was very caring towards others. She suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.
The confusion in Tao Wanyin's eyes disappeared, and she suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground, making a thud sound.
"Your Majesty, there was no dispute between Miss Ji and me. I was deceived and used by her. Please understand! Ji Qingwu and the prince had a secret relationship. She was resentful for not being able to enter the mansion, so she set up a poisonous plan to deceive me into giving the prince medicine."
Prince Yong grabbed Tao Wanyin tightly and pulled her to his side, saying, "My royal brother, Mrs. Tao has been a little confused these days, please don't believe what she says."
Tao Wanyin wanted to break free, but she didn't have enough strength. Prince Yong blocked her behind him and a fierce look made her silent and she could only sob softly.
Watching the couple arguing in the hall, Emperor Wu Su sat upright with his hands on his knees without moving.
"Ji Qingwu."
Suddenly I heard him calling my name, even his full name.
Ji Qingwu sat up straight at once and looked at him with moving eyes.
Emperor Wu Su raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you lie to her?"
When the emperor asked a question, Ji Qingwu stood up and planned to kneel down respectfully like Princess Yong to report.
He frowned and said coldly: "Did I tell you to move?"
Ji Qingwu just moved his butt a little, but met his displeased gaze, so he could only sit back down obediently.
Princess Qingyun beside him said weakly: "Royal brother, Fifth Cousin is innocent, don't be so fierce."
Ji Qingwu also felt that he was fierce, so she pursed her lips and sat down with a wronged look on her face.
She prepared a lot of explanations and wanted to imitate the Princess Yong's mournful plea. She had even rehearsed in her mind when to squeeze out a few tears.
But Emperor Wu Su seemed to have no patience and did not give her this opportunity. He urged: "It is so difficult to say a word, did you lie to her?"
Ji Qingwu was confused about what to do because of the emperor's cold attitude.
She could only open her lips and utter two dry words.
"No."
Ji Qingwu did not deceive Tao Wanyin, but she was the one who dragged him into the water.
Emperor Wu Su nodded in satisfaction and hummed.
Ji Qingwu glared with straight eyebrows.
Is that it? She doesn't need to explain? No need to shed a few tears?
