Chapter 118 Confusion



Mrs. Ji looked hesitant.

Ji Nian Fu started crying again: "Mom, do you think that if I become disabled and can only sit in a wheelchair in the future, you will not want to care about me anymore? Have you started to hate me and despise me?"

"Fu'er, how could I possibly dislike you?"

If this was really done by Qu Li, then as a mother, even if her knees were worn out, she would do it without hesitation as long as she could ask for Qu Li's forgiveness and let her Fu'er be alive and well!

But all this is just speculation. If they really go to the emperor and tell him, the only ones who will be in trouble will be their Ji family!

Ji Nianfu is now stuck in a dead end and refuses to listen to Madam Ji at all.

She stared with her red eyes and cried. If her legs had not been numb, she would have run out and put a knife to her neck, forcing Mrs. Ji to agree to her.

Mrs. Ji had no choice but to talk to Ji Mingshan about this matter.

Ji Mingshan really regarded his daughter as the apple of his eye and would not tolerate her suffering any injustice. After leaving Imperial Physician Tang behind, he actually returned to the palace.

Imperial Physician Tang received guidance from Qu Li, and now he can also suture the wounds of injured animals. Naturally, he respects and is grateful to Qu Li as his teacher. Hearing this, he frowned and whispered a few words to his apprentice.

Madam Ji was worried about Ji Nianfu and didn't notice that Imperial Physician Tang's apprentice had quietly left.

When Qu Li learned about this, there was no panic on his face, but Changle was furious.

"This Ji Nian Fu looks like a good person, but she's actually two-faced and annoying! Seventh cousin, please don't worry about it. I'm going to whip her and teach her a lesson!"

She was about to turn and leave when her arm was grabbed.

Changle turned her eyes to the side and looked at Qu Li with a puzzled look on her face as she had a faint smile on her lips.

"Seventh cousin..."

"Let them toss."

"But they are simply confusing right and wrong!"

If it weren't for Ji Nianfu's disrespect, how could Seventh Cousin-in-law have taken action?

What's more, she lost the feeling in her legs. It was her bad luck. What did it have to do with her seventh cousin? Why should she report it to the emperor?

"How about I go find my seventh cousin?"

The smile on Qu Li's lips disappeared in an instant. "Don't look for her! Don't forget, Qu Qing is still with him!"

Changle was really worried about her. After thinking about it, she decided to go find the Grand Princess or go to the palace to ask the Empress Dowager for help.

"Okay, that's it, don't worry!"

"Aren't I worried about you?"

Qu Li patted the back of her hand soothingly.

At this time, Ji Mingshan was kneeling outside the imperial study. The sun was very strong and it didn't take long for the sun to make him dizzy.

Seeing him like this, Eunuch Fu asked Xiao Dengzi to pour him a cup of tea, "Master Ji, what are you doing?"

"I, Your Majesty, ask the emperor to make the decision for me!" Ji Mingshan shouted loudly.

Emperor Kang was reviewing memorials in the imperial study. A severe drought suddenly struck the north, and the people were suffering. If the relief grain was not provided as soon as possible, there would be a big chaos.

Since he ascended the throne, the country has been peaceful and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the national treasury has become increasingly abundant.

However, it is still difficult to come up with such a large sum of money.

He was just feeling worried when he heard Ji Mingshan's words, and his expression immediately became even uglier.

Rubbing his eyebrows, he called Eunuch Lai Fu, asked what had happened, and then let Ji Mingshan in.

Ji Mingshan secretly glanced at Emperor Kang, then knelt down with a plop. "Your Majesty, please make the decision for this old minister!"

He burst into tears, making Emperor Kangdi's face look even uglier.

"What happened?"

Ji Mingshan is an honest and loyal person. Although he does not have good abilities, he is a very honest and upright person. He is quite satisfied with his position as the Minister of Personnel.

"Today, my daughter Nianfu and Princess Yehua..."

When Kangdi heard this title, the wrinkles between his brows deepened noticeably, but Ji Mingshan was so wet with tears that he didn't notice it. Instead, it was Eunuch Fu, the old man who served Kangdi, who caught the fleeting displeasure in Kangdi's eyes.

After Ji Mingshan finished speaking, Emperor Kang remained silent, and the air in the imperial study seemed to be frozen.

"Your Majesty?" Ji Mingshan called out tremblingly.

Emperor Kang came back to his senses: "You said that Princess Chen did this, but do you have any evidence?"

"Nian Fu has indeed become somewhat spoiled by the old ministers, and she was disrespectful to Princess Chen. However, everyone saw Princess Chen step on Nian Fu! The King of Zhongshan has always been loyal and upright, and Princess Yehua is also such a person. She saw it with her own eyes!"

"Eunuch Fu!"

Eunuch Fu bowed his body, "Your Majesty."

"Send Qu Li to the palace."

Xiao Xian also got the news. He came to Wenzhaoyuan, and the worry in his eyes was not concealed at all.

"I will go to the palace with you."

"No need!" Qu Li refused without hesitation: "Don't forget, you and I are still acting!"

Xiao Xian hesitated for a moment, then said with a firm expression: "It doesn't matter whether I act or not. Even if I don't act, I can still solve it."

He really didn't take Xiao Zhao seriously.

He really didn't care about that position before, so he didn't care about what other brothers did as long as it wasn't too excessive.

Now that he has made up his mind and made a decision, he will definitely treat it like a war and will never give up easily.

Qu Li was upset by the fiery look in his eyes, so her tone was naturally bad.

"Whatever you want! It's not my place to sit in the end anyway."

Xiao Xian's eyes darkened, his lips trembled twice, and in the end he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

After getting on the carriage, Qu Li glanced at Changle and Qu Wenzhao, who were worried, and waved his hand, signaling them to go back first.

She touched the papers in her sleeve and her brow softened.

She has always known that there is no one in the officialdom who is truly clean and alone.

So, after figuring out the formula for the cosmetic ingredients, she wanted to go to the Shadow Pavilion in the evening and ask them to check on Ji Mingshan.

Unexpectedly, Ji Mingshan went to the palace to file a complaint so soon.

What she didn't expect was that Feng Yi was always paying attention to her and sent her what she needed early in the morning.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't touched.

However, thinking about their identities, and the humiliation and torture he had endured for ten years, she became a little confused again.

She has always been free and easy, and has never been trapped by love.

But this time, facing Feng Yi's selfless dedication, she became at a loss.

Xiao Xian, who was sitting opposite her, stared at her without blinking, and naturally caught a trace of her confusion and bewilderment.

His heart skipped a beat and he felt as if he was going to lose something.

This feeling made him a little crazy and a little sad...

"Li'er!" He suddenly became a little frightened and actually grabbed her hand across the small table.
