Chapter 202: Conspiring with Prince Yong and Sleeping Well
The light in Prince Yong's eyes disappeared in an instant.
Seeing that he looked listless and there was no evil look in his eyes, Ji Qingwu began to find him somewhat pleasing to the eye.
However, she attributed it to the fact that Zhao Minghong and Emperor Wu Su were brothers, as they did have some similarities in appearance.
Thanks to this three-point resemblance, Ji Qingwu's tone felt a little better.
"The princess's body is seriously weak. Although the fetus is unstable, it can still be remedied."
Prince Yong's eyes were bloodshot: "But the imperial physician said that the child cannot be saved."
Ji Qingwu asked, "Do you trust the imperial physician or me?"
Prince Yong thought of the "unethical" prescription. His body has not recovered yet, so of course he trusts Ji Qingwu more in his heart.
"I must believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have come to find you." He asked, "Did she say anything?"
Ji Qingwu asked: "What do you want to hear her say?"
"Did you mention me?"
Ji Qingwu remembered the call from Princess Yong just now, and nodded, "It was mentioned."
The dead look in Prince Yong's eyes began to rekindle.
"What did you say? Are you worried that I won't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, just like she always does—"
"No, not at all."
Listening to his fantastic words, Ji Qingwu said, "What did the prince force the princess to do that made her feel resentful until now, and almost drove her crazy."
Prince Yong said: "How could I force her to do..."
Halfway through his words, he realized what good things he had done.
But that was her fault in the first place.
Ji Qingwu looked at Prince Yong gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, and thought of Tao Wanyin's pale face who fainted from crying, his eyes flickered.
The rift between the two people is like a natural chasm, and can only be repaired with Nuwa's Sky-Repairing Stone.
I don’t know what happened to cause their relationship to fall apart to this point.
Prince Yong quickly pulled himself out of his emotion and said, "Fifth cousin, I'll trouble you to take care of Wanyin's health. If you want anything, just tell me. I can give you anything I have."
Ji Qingwu said: "There is nothing about the prince that I like."
Prince Yong clenched his fists again.
Ji Qingwu's eyes fell on his hand, and Prince Yong quickly let go of his hand.
Even when he was beaten by his royal brother, he had never been so cowardly.
Ji Qingwu thought about it and realized that there was indeed something that Prince Yong could help her with: "There is something that Your Majesty can help with."
Prince Yong hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
"How is your Highness at fighting?" Ji Qingwu looked at his figure, compared it to that man, and said while stroking his chin, "I am not good at fighting, but I can take a beating."
Prince Yong thought to himself, I’ve found the right person.
He said confidently: "I have been fighting since I was a child, so fighting is no problem for me."
So, the two of them, sitting across from each other from the stone lions at the entrance of Anle Hall, came up with a plan that was not very thorough and had some flaws.
*
Ji Qingwu and Prince Yong entered the Cining Palace together.
The Queen Mother and Old Madam Ji had finished their discussion, and Mrs. Qiao looked a little strange.
When the people in the hall saw these two people appear together, they all showed surprise.
Ji Qingwu went to the Imperial Garden for so long. Could it be that Prince Yong went to pester her just as the Tao family had an accident?
The Queen Mother said, "Minghong, come here, Queen Mother. I have something to tell you."
Prince Yong walked to the throne, and the Queen Mother said, "Those sitting here are not outsiders."
She deliberately glanced at Ji Qingwu again and said to Prince Yong: "Minghong, these are all your relatives."
Prince Yong immediately understood what the Queen Mother meant. His gaze drifted to Ji Qingwu, and he received a look of disdain from her.
Mrs. Qiao also looked at Ji Qingwu, and when she saw Xiaowu shaking his head at her, she felt relieved.
The Queen Mother continued, "Lord Tao has committed a serious crime. Although the emperor is tight-lipped, we can still get some information. More than half of the disaster relief money went into the pockets of him and his minions. Such a disloyal and unrighteous family is not worthy of marrying into the royal family."
Prince Yong nodded and said, "I know. That's why I hid far away when my brother was deciding the fate of the emperor. I didn't say anything to persuade him. Tao Ge Lao deserved it."
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Minghong, there is no need to protect the Tao family anymore."
With the Tao family, Yong Wang's maternal family, who could provide support to him, the Queen Mother acquiesced in many of Yong Wang's actions.
But now that the Tao family has fallen, Tao Wanyin can no longer continue to occupy the position of Princess Yong.
The Queen Mother said, "I will discuss this with the Emperor some other day and issue an imperial decree to depose Lady Tao from her position as Princess Yong."
Prince Yong frowned and said, "But Mrs. Tao is still pregnant with my son's flesh and blood. He is my legitimate son."
The Queen Mother looked at his expression and said, "Minghong, you can still give birth to a legitimate son if you change the princess. Tao is the daughter of a criminal, and the child she gives birth to cannot inherit the throne. Have you even forgotten this?"
Prince Yong said, "Mother, have you helped me find another noble lady? You don't have to waste your energy. Mother knows my temper. I asked my brother to marry Tao. Now that you want to depose the concubine, I have to agree to it."
Ji Qingwu raised his eyes and looked directly at Prince Yong. It was rare to see such an arrogant yet serious look on his face.
He finally looked like a member of the royal family.
Prince Yong stood up and said loudly: "No one can touch Tao's position as Prince Yong's Consort!"
Then he said, "I will take my leave now. I will not disturb you from chatting with your family."
Watching Prince Yong walk away in great strides, the Queen Mother sighed repeatedly: "This evil creature was born to torture me..."
On the carriage going home.
Old Madam Ji looked at Ji Qingwu with a strange look in her eyes, as if she was pleased, but also a little dissatisfied.
Ji Qingwu leaned closer to Qiao and whispered, "Mother, what did you discuss in the Queen Mother's palace?"
Mrs. Qiao said, "We didn't discuss anything, we just talked for a while. I heard that the Wei family is in turmoil, and the old lady of the Wei family has refused to eat or drink in the past few days."
Ji Qingwu thought about the old lady Wei, who was old-fashioned and dignified and capable of managing the household, and found herself unable to imagine how she could resist her grandson's hunger strike.
Qiao said: "Wei Ting's determination to marry you is beyond everyone's expectations."
Originally, the whole city was laughing at the Ji family.
Now the situation has changed. Wei Ting has failed to get married but still insists on it. The old lady threatens to commit suicide, and the family is in chaos.
The Queen Mother and Old Lady Ji both felt very pleased to be able to bring the proud and arrogant Wei family together like this.
After returning home, Ji Qingwu accompanied Jiujiu in painting, and Chunhua from Qiao's family brought good news.
"Fifth Miss, the First Madam asked me to pass on a message. According to the letter from Huainan, the Master has been released from prison."
Ji Qingwu calculated in his mind, and it was indeed three hours.
Now, everyone in the mansion can sleep peacefully tonight.
At night, when Ji Qingwu thought about what was going to happen the next morning, he became excited and fell asleep with a smile on his face.
