Chapter 383: One Step at a Time, the Prince's Mother

Chapter 383: One Step at a Time, the Prince's Mother

Madam Ji had no time to think about anything else but one thought.

She completely angered the emperor and she was going to lose her life.

Seeing that the whole family was frightened by Emperor Wu Su, even Mrs. Qiao was shaking a little.

Ji Qingwu slightly turned his body to block his cold gaze, and said in a pinched voice: "I'm fine, right here?"

Everyone present could hear how gentle Ji Qingwu's tone of coaxing was, even softer than when he was talking to Jiujiu.

Ji Qingwu had no other choice and was also surprised that it had been such a long time since this happened, but Emperor Wu Su was still holding a grudge against this "old account".

Zhao Mingyan raised his eyebrows. He was pleased with her gentle words, but the anger that had been pent up for a long time was not so easy to dissipate.

He said unmoved: "Awu is kind-hearted, I am the opposite of you——"

However, the emperor only said half of his words before he suddenly stopped talking.

No one dared to look up and could only listen attentively, as if there was a sound that they could not understand.

"Hmm..."

A deep male voice asked, "I don't know what happened to the emperor."

In a short moment, Ji Qingwu stood up, regardless of whether it was polite or not, and boldly reached out to cover his lips.

Now that the situation has become like this, it will be too late for her to do something.

Emperor Wu Su's words are golden and he cannot take them back.

If the old lady's life was really taken, there would be no way to end it.

Ji Qingwu frowned and asked in a low voice, "What on earth are you doing here, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Mingyan lowered his eyes and looked at her delicate hands, his inky black eyes filled with strange emotions.

It was the first time in his life that someone covered his mouth and forbade him to speak. Even before he ascended the throne, no one dared to do so.

If someone else had done it, the arm would have been broken long ago.

But if it was Ji Qingwu...

Under her palm, Zhao Mingyan smiled silently.

The fragrance from her body lingered on my nose, and her sleeves slipped down, revealing her fair wrists.

The experience is novel and also interesting.

"hiss......"

Another voice was heard by everyone.

The voice was a bit high pitched, and it was a female voice.

Ji Qingwu took a breath, then his clear eyes widened, reflecting him.

Just now, Zhao Mingyan suddenly raised his hand and wrapped it around hers. When she wanted to withdraw her hand, he pressed it tighter and pressed her palm against his lips.

I was caught off guard and he bit my palm.

Ji Qingwu had a hard time telling her story. Every time she thought she was bold enough, she would be taught a lesson by Emperor Wu Su.

She withdrew her hand, and her palm felt numb and itchy, as well as a lingering feeling of wetness.

Only the two of them knew about this interaction. Zhao Mingyan's mood improved a lot because of it, and he no longer kept dwelling on the old lady's affairs.

"Thanks to Awu's reminder, I almost forgot what I was going to do."

Both Ji's father and son serve as officials in the court, and they don't believe that the emperor would forget something.

But Ji Qingwu was willing to believe that as long as Emperor Wu Su did not show his displeasure in front of the Ji family and spoke nicely, it would be fine.

She did not kneel again, but stood in front of him: "Your Majesty, why don't you let everyone stand up and sit down to talk."

Zhao Mingyan curled the corners of his lips and said, "No hurry."

He was not in a hurry. Ji Qingwu looked around and saw that the white hair behind Old Madam Ji's neck was wet with sweat.

Ji Changlin is young and nothing will happen to him, but Ji's father and mother are old, and if they kneel down again, they may hurt their knees.

Ji Qingwu could only use his last trump card, put aside his pride, and said in a tender voice, "It's urgent. Your Majesty must have come to see me specially, right?"

"In fact, I miss Your Majesty as well. Why don't we go back to Wutong Garden together?"

Even though Zhao Mingyan knew why she said these words, his brows still softened.

In Ji Qingwu's expectant look, he nodded, raised his eyebrows and said, "Just missing me? But Yuan Heng hasn't enjoyed his meals these past few days, and he misses you too."

The smile on Ji Qingwu's lips froze.

She was very happy to hear the little guy say that he missed her, but at this moment, she mentioned Yuan Heng. Was she afraid that the secrets revealed today were not enough?

Ji Qingwu pinched her little finger and bit her lower lip. She understood what Emperor Wu Su came here for.

This was intended to be a one-step solution, leaving her no chance to hide her identity.

Ji Qingwu didn't have time to care about the state of the Ji family. She quickly responded, "I will go to the palace to see His Highness Yuan Heng some other day."

Meeting his seemingly dissatisfied look, she immediately changed her words and said, "I will go to the palace tomorrow."

Zhao Mingyan looked at her, his eyes dark and his tone more serious than ever before.

"Yuan Heng also asked me a question, a very difficult one."

Ji Qingwu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Your Majesty, is there any problem you can't solve?"

"Yuan Heng asked me when to welcome his mother back to the palace?"

Zhao Mingyan held her hand and said in a low voice: "I can't answer, so I can only ask you."

This time, Ji Qingwu felt numb from the palms of his hands to the soles of his feet.

She stamped her feet and stepped firmly on the emperor's boots.

After hearing these two sentences, everyone no longer cared about etiquette and looked up in shock.

Ji Bolian was stunned, his eyes did not move, and he could not understand why young prince Yuan Heng called Xiao Wu "mother queen".

Ji Changlin first went to see Ji Qingwu's reaction. Seeing that the fifth sister's embroidered shoes were still on the emperor's boots, he took a few deep breaths and tried to make himself accept this fact.

Even though Qiao knew the inside story in advance, he was still shocked.

What did the emperor just say?

The prince's mother...

Emperor Wu Su wants to make their daughter Xiao Wu the queen!

It was not what she had imagined before, to enter the palace and become a concubine. Even if the title of a concubine was very prestigious, she could not escape the fact that she was a concubine.

What Emperor Wu Su gave him was a queen who could sit beside him with dignity and command the six palaces.

Qiao felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Madam Ji was kneeling beside the bed, feeling dizzy and about to faint. Suddenly, she heard the words "Prince's mother" uttered by the emperor, and almost thought she had reached paradise.

For a long time, what she and the Queen Mother had been planning was to have a queen from the Ji family.

But not only did Qingwu easily obtain the position of queen, but it seemed that the emperor also offered it to her on his own initiative.

The old lady's gaze was like thorns, falling on Ji Qingwu's back.

Ji Qingwu could not have imagined the scene at this moment even in his dreams.

They forced her to marry, even to the house, in front of the Ji family.

Using Yuan Heng's excuse, he made her reluctant to give it up. Besides, what he offered was the position of Queen, which showed his sincerity.

"Hmm? What does Awu mean?"

Zhao Mingyan untied her fingers, then pinched them gently, reminding her to answer, his tone unusually hurried.

He asked her what she meant, but Ji Qingwu had no other choice.

Li Yuzong, who was guarding the door, saw the right moment and walked forward, presenting a scroll with both hands.

The old man smiled and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is the decree you prepared before the ancestor worship."
