Chapter 199: Sneaky, interesting
Ji Qingwu covered his chest and was startled by the sudden appearance of the person.
Prince Yong never imagined that the person who was fooling around with the emperor in there would be Ji Qingwu.
He pretended to leave and then turned back, just to find out who dared to bite his royal brother.
The two looked at each other.
Prince Yong's eyes changed from shock to understanding, but also tinged with deep confusion.
Since the emperor likes my fifth cousin, why doesn’t he just take her into the harem?
There have been constant disturbances in the court recently, and several of them were caused by Ji Qingwu.
Are you afraid of damaging the relationship between the monarch and his subject, Wei Ting? still......
Prince Yong's eyes became nonsensical again. Could it be that he felt that this sneaky behavior was interesting?
Seeing Prince Yong's expression, Ji Qingwu's face turned red and then pale.
This man was so hateful and cunning. After the emperor left, he deliberately came back and waited for her to come out at the entrance.
Ji Qingwu suppressed his emotions and said, "Meet Prince Yong."
Having said that, he planned to leave.
Prince Yong put away his reverie and called out from behind her, "Fifth cousin, please stay, stay."
Ji Qingwu did not stop, looking forward, taking bigger steps, and said, "The prince and I have nothing to say."
Anyway, things have come to this point. Prince Yong knows that the person who was with the emperor just now was her. No matter how she explains, it will be of no use. Let him think whatever he wants.
Prince Yong took a few quick steps, walked around to her, and said, "I have something to ask you."
After he entered the palace, he went to the gate of Anle Hall as usual, and then went to the Queen Mother's place. He learned that Ji Qingwu was also in the palace and was currently in the Imperial Garden, so he found an excuse to follow her.
Being stopped by Prince Yong, Ji Qingwu had no choice but to stop.
"Your Highness, even a noble like you can't solve this problem. How can I, a weak woman who has to rely on the Ji family for survival, be of any help? Your Highness, you are joking."
Prince Yong understood the sarcasm in these words.
He did not retort or question. Not to mention that he had already learned about her relationship with Emperor Wu Su, even for what he was asking for now, he did not dare to express his dissatisfaction.
Prince Yong smiled and said, "Fifth cousin, we are of the same origin and clan. It is only natural for us to help each other."
Ji Qingwu frowned when he heard these high-sounding polite words.
They have previous grudges, so they are not in a relationship where they can help each other.
He flirted with her, and she retaliated with medicine, and as a result, the Emperor ordered Princess Yong to be imprisoned in the palace.
This was in private, with no outsiders present, so Ji Qingwu simply spoke openly.
"Your Majesty is very busy, so you may not remember what happened on the dragon boat a month ago, but I always remember it. Whenever I think of it, I feel sick in my heart."
She uncovered Prince Yong's intention to cover up the truth.
He said awkwardly: "If I had known earlier, you and my brother were..."
Ji Qingwu glared at him and interrupted fiercely, "What is it?!"
Prince Yong felt guilty because of her stare and said, "Nothing, Fifth Cousin, think about it carefully. What does this have to do with me? It was Ji Changyan who was not clear-headed. He thought that by knocking you out and sending you here, he could make up for his assassination of the censor."
When Ji Qingwu thought back to what happened that day, he felt a wave of fear.
That medicine was no ordinary thing. If she was not careful, she would lose her life on the dragon boat.
She said calmly, "Ji Changyan is wearing the same pants as you. If you didn't mean it, he wouldn't do this."
Prince Yong played dumb and said innocently, "But nothing happened that night."
Ji Qingwu met his gaze and said, "If something really happens, it will be too late. The prince and I have nothing to say."
Suddenly, Prince Yong figured out everything. Why did something happen to the Yucui Tower in his hands that night, and why did he, who was about to accomplish a good thing, get transferred away...
The reason why Yucui Tower was besieged by Li Chengxun's troops at that time was because the person behind the scenes was his scheming royal brother.
Cold sweat began to appear on Prince Yong's forehead. He was extremely grateful that nothing happened that night.
He pressed the issue, "How can Fifth Cousin calm down? I am willing to make amends."
Ji Qingwu said coldly: "No need, as long as the prince appears in front of me, I will be more than happy."
Prince Yong said in an almost pleading tone: "I agree to all of Fifth Cousin's conditions. As long as you help me one more time, I will stay away from you in the future."
Ji Qingwu raised the corners of his lips and said mockingly: "The prince can't do it, how can I..."
She paused and looked at the person who suddenly knelt in front of her, her eyes flickering.
It was the first time she saw Prince Yong looking so gloomy, with a dead look on his face.
He lowered his head dejectedly: "You are the only one who can save Wanyin."
Ji Qingwu frowned, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "It was His Majesty's idea to confine the princess to An Le Hall, and I can't change anything."
Prince Yong raised his head. It is said that men do not shed tears easily. His eyes were already red, with panic and anxiety accumulated over many days in his eyes.
The situation is getting worse now. Not only is the Tao family in danger of being destroyed, but Tao Wanyin's health is also getting worse.
Prince Yong whispered, "Wanyin fainted once when she learned that Tao Gelao was dragged out and imprisoned during the imperial court."
There was surprise in Ji Qingwu's eyes. She saw that Emperor Wu Su was in a good mood today and thought that the court was peaceful, but such a big thing happened.
Princess Yong felt when she learned that her father had been imprisoned.
Ji Qingwu is able to empathize with others.
But their situations were very different. Firstly, she had never met Ji Bolin, and her relationship with him as father was not deep.
Secondly, Ji's father was implicated innocently, and she had received a message from the emperor that day, knowing that her father was fine.
Last time at Handan Pavilion, Emperor Wu Su mentioned to her that one of the big fish in the court was the Tao family.
It has only been such a short time since the Emperor's arrest, and the once-prosperous Tao family is about to fall into decline, and even their relatives will be implicated.
Ji Qingwu finally understood why Prince Yong was begging so earnestly.
He asked, "Do you want me to protect Princess Yong?"
Prince Yong nodded, then shook his head: "It doesn't matter what her status is. What's important now is to save her life."
Ji Qingwu groaned for a moment and said, "The princess is pregnant with a royal child, your majesty will not be so ruthless."
Prince Yong said with a worried look on his face: "But now, Wanyin's pregnancy is extremely unstable. I feel anxious when I see the pulse reports coming in every day."
Seeing that Ji Qingwu remained silent, Prince Yong knelt on the ground and was about to hug her legs.
She quickly jumped into the bushes nearby and he missed her.
Ji Qingwu touched his chest with lingering fear and said with disdain: "Let's talk it over. Don't use force. I feel sick."
Upon hearing this, Prince Yong's face was filled with dismay.
Then the sound of a woman's voice rolling across a jade plate like pearls was heard.
