Chapter 47: Unknown Person
Ji Yunqing’s eyes immediately widened.
Hurrah!
This guy is here to gather information as well!
Her expression changed immediately, and she looked at the man in front of her with anger and resentment.
"You still call me your concubine? My concubine is tall, my concubine is short, and you don't care about my concubine's problems."
You still have the nerve to ask now?
How could she have escaped?
Of course, she relied on the wisdom and experience of many netizens in her previous life - if she was unhappy at work, she would confess her feelings to her boss, and if she succeeded, she would become the boss's wife, or if she failed, the boss would be embarrassed to assign her heavy work, and that's how she escaped.
But can she say to the man in front of her, I escaped danger by teasing your woman?
she can't!
However, King Zhao was a thick-skinned man with no sense of shame. He never cared about other people's feelings at all, not to mention that this person was one of his women.
King Zhao gently pinched the white and tender cheek in front of him and urged her, "Hurry up and tell me!"
When he went to see Concubine Wen, it was the first time that Concubine Wen did not throw herself on him so enthusiastically.
Instead, she looked at him with a strange and indescribable look, which made King Zhao feel uneasy.
Ji Yunqing cursed this man in her heart for being so shameless. She could solve the problem herself, but he still had such damn curiosity.
Does he think he is still a child?
As an adult, don't you know what hypocrisy is?
"Your Majesty, I didn't say anything, it's just like that..."
As she spoke, she pulled the man down with force, then stood on tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek.
After the incident, her big eyes flickered and her tone was extremely innocent: "That's it, Sister Wen is so fierce, Your Majesty, you don't know, I was so scared at that time,
When I think about it afterwards, my chest is still throbbing, listen to me."
As she spoke, she took King Zhao's hands and placed them on her chest.
Feeling the softness under his palm, King Zhao's desire to interrogate him weakened.
"Forget it. Given your personality, it's probably because you begged for mercy too quickly. It's meaningless."
King Zhao thought that there was actually nothing much to say, so he put his arm around the woman's shoulders and they went into the house together.
That night, Ji Yunqing felt the smooth and delicate skin on his palm and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.
It has to be said that not only are the women of King Zhao as pretty as flowers and delicate and beautiful, but he himself is also very charming!
After King Zhao left in the morning, Ji Yunqing went to the main courtyard to check in.
From beginning to end, I didn't hear the princess announce anything like "someone got into trouble" or "someone had a miscarriage".
Only then did she realize that she should take a breath. She was really too nervous!
It seems that the previous two times were just coincidences.
As a result, in the afternoon, a piece of news quickly swept in, "Concubine Qian had a miscarriage!"
At that time, Ji Yunqing was having a small gathering with several concubines who were not pregnant in Qianshi Garden.
It's Concubine Wang's birthday today, and she has some spare money, so she invited a few concubines to come and celebrate her birthday.
Everyone was drinking wine and discussing their recent makeup, hairstyles, and clothing designs when they were startled by a maid who came hurriedly reporting.
"what?"
When everyone heard the news, they were shocked.
In fact, there are clues to this matter. Concubine Qian's pregnancy was not well preserved, so she had to lie in bed to recuperate. It is normal that she did not recover well.
"besides……"
The maid who came to report continued, "Master Qian was very upset about this matter and shouted that he wanted to seek revenge on Master Ji.
Princess, please ask Master Ji to go over there. You don’t need to go to the main courtyard, but go directly to Concubine Qian’s courtyard.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Ji Yunqing with surprise and doubt in their eyes.
Concubine Wang was the first to react. She took a step back and condemned, "Sister Ji, how could you do such a thing? After all, Sister Qian didn't provoke you!"
Concubine Liu's eyes flickered: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding here?"
As she spoke, she moved to the side without leaving a trace.
Concubine Zhao held her waist with one hand, sticking out her flat belly, with a look of anticipation on her face, and gave a fake exclamation.
"Oh my god! I've heard about you, Sister Ji... I didn't expect it to be true. Sister Ji, you are so confused!"
She said in an exaggerated tone, "Ouch, my stomach hurts too!"
Ji Yunqing had a blank expression on his face: "You have a stomachache, did you eat too much?"
"Also, I had dinner with you all today. You all go and testify for me."
Before anyone else could say anything, Concubine Zhao exploded: "Why? Why should we go?"
"You are in such good spirits. It would be a shame if you didn't go to watch the fun. Don't you want to see my fun?" Ji Yunqing asked back.
Everyone: "..."
Uh
This sentence touched their hearts.
Concubine Liu immediately looked weak, and her whole body became visibly weak: "Sister Ji, I'm sorry, I should have gone with you, but I feel so dizzy now..."
"...You are not pregnant, and Concubine Zhao is going too, so why can't you go?" Ji Yunqing was speechless. She just thought that since everyone was there, they could go together to testify for her.
This would save her from going there alone and causing all kinds of rumors in the mansion.
"Alright, alright," Ji Yunqing said impatiently, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. If the princess asks you about it later, you can just say that you are too guilty to go."
Concubine Liu: I can’t believe it!
Who are these people?
She immediately changed her words: "Sister Ji, you can't say that casually, but since you are so pressing, let's go together."
Concubine Zhou stepped forward to smooth things over. She had a round face and a friendly temperament, "Say less, the princess must be waiting anxiously."
Concubine Jian stood cautiously at the back of the crowd and said nothing.
If someone gets close, they can hear her whispering: "Buddha Tathagata, Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Daluo Jinxian, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Hengha Two Generals... Please bless this believer."
A group of people came to Cuiwei Pavilion, the residence of Concubine Qian, in a mighty manner.
As soon as I came in, I was hit by a smell of blood.
The maids and servants were busy at work. The princess sat in the middle with a sullen face. The maids on both sides of her stood with their heads bowed. The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Concubine Jian immediately covered her mouth and nose gently, tears welled up in her eyes, but she dared not say anything.
Concubine Zhao followed suit and covered her face with a handkerchief embroidered with crabapple flowers, complaining softly, "It smells so fishy!"
All the ladies bowed to the princess.
Looking at so many people, the princess was not surprised at all.
She looked directly at Ji Yunqing in the crowd: "Ji, Concubine Qian said that you killed her child. Do you admit your guilt?"
Ji Yunqing stood up and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "My lord princess, since Concubine Qian became pregnant, I have never seen her again, not even a visit. How could I possibly harm her?"
The princess nodded, she had indeed verified this.
This silly concubine Ji, although her brain is not very good, she is honest.
I seldom go out on weekdays.
Suddenly, a rough and high-pitched voice resounded throughout the yard, and the voice soared into the sky: "No! It must be you who killed my child, it must be you!"
Concubine Qian had disheveled hair and even large blood stains on the hem of her clothes. She rushed out of the room screaming.
The two maids beside her tried their best to hold her back but failed.
"That's you!"
"princess"
"Please investigate thoroughly!"
"Investigate strictly!"
As they were talking, Concubine Qian rushed in front of everyone with her fangs bared.
At this time, Ji Yunqing would not stand there and be beaten. She turned around and went into the crowd behind her.
"Princess, help! Save me!"
"My dear sisters, aren't we having dinner together today? Save me!"
"Sister Wang, save me!"
"Sister Liu, save me, ah ah ah!"
When Concubine Qian heard this, her confused thoughts became even more indignant. Anyone whose name Ji Yunqing had mentioned was attacked indiscriminately by her.
Except the princess.
Ji Yunqing didn't dare to run to the two pregnant people in the crowd. The two people also cautiously stood at the back to watch the fun, but they couldn't resist Qian Shiqi's own thoughts!
"My child is gone anyway, so why should your child come out?"
As she spoke, her eyes turned slightly red and she was about to rush towards the two of them.
The princess was shocked when she saw this and shouted, "Catch her!"
But Concubine Qian had all the advantages and was unstoppable.
Concubine Jian quickly stepped back, and Concubine Zhao also ran to the other side. Seeing that Concubine Qian was about to bump into them, a pair of hands grabbed her tightly.
No one has reacted yet.
Ji Yunqing gritted his teeth and pulled the person, his face distorted: "Hurry up, what are you still standing there for?"
Several strong women immediately stepped forward, clamped down on Concubine Qian, and managed to stabilize the situation.
Concubine Qian was still struggling, "Let me go, Princess, you are not arresting me, but that ominous Concubine Ji!"
"It's because of her that I lost my child!"
"Princess, if this person is not removed, it will cause disaster sooner or later!"
Ji Yunqing's face fell, and he argued forcefully: "Bullshit! What did I do? You have to have evidence to throw dirty water, where is the evidence?
Just because you slandered me with your empty words, you want the perceptive princess to punish me? Do you think she is as stupid as you! "
"How dare you!" the princess scolded, "Don't be so vulgar!"
Just don't speak vulgarly, and everything else is fine.
In other words, the princess did not believe this man.
Ji Yunqing quickly calculated the equation in his mind.
With a "wow" sound, he sat on the ground and began to cry loudly.
"Princess~~I feel so miserable... What right does she have to slander me? Just because she is so bold, does she dare to say such nonsense?"
Everyone was stunned when they saw the person sitting on the ground, crying loudly with snot and tears running down his face.
In their limited lives, they have never seen such a scene!
Even Concubine Qian was so shocked by such a rogue behavior that she opened her mouth wide and was unable to speak.
It was a pity that her whole body was held down and she couldn't move at all, otherwise she would have taken three steps back in shock.
Ji Yunqing cried for a few times, then stood up and pulled the princess' sleeve and continued crying.
The veins on the princess' forehead jumped, and she unnoticedly pulled back her sleeves that were resting on the table. "Alright, talk properly."
Ji Yunqing did not dare to continue. She sobbed like a young wife and said hesitantly, "Princess Qingtian, you have to make the decision for me!"
Princess Qingtian: "..."
Once again, I questioned myself and the prince at that time. Why did he choose such a person to enter the palace?
Wasn’t it said before he entered the mansion that this person was well-behaved and sensible?
How can you be well behaved?
How can you be sensible?
She looked at Concubine Qian and frowned: "Qian, you said Ji harmed you. Now Ji is here too. Tell me, how did she harm you?"
Before, she was kind to Qian, because this concubine had just lost her child.
Now seeing that she almost harmed two other pregnant women she had her eyes on and almost ruined her good fortune, he completely lost his patience.
Suddenly hearing the princess's cold voice, Concubine Qian calmed down and felt scared belatedly.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the princess wanted to adopt the child.
She shuddered, "Replying to the king, princess, I heard that if the prince goes to the courtyard of concubine Ji, something bad will happen in the mansion.
I raised my child well, and even the imperial physician said that the child was getting better and better, so I..."
At this point, her eyes were full of resentment, and she stared at Ji Yunqing intently: "It's all this vixen's fault. If she hadn't seduced the prince, this servant's child wouldn't be... it's a boy!"
Ji Yunqing was puzzled: "It's not even three months old, and you can tell the gender of the baby?"
She couldn't help but stand in awe. How could Chinese medicine be so magical?
Qian Shiqi said with tears in her eyes: "Of course I can't tell, I guess it's a boy. I like to eat sour food recently. People say sour boys and spicy girls."
Ji Yunqing: “…” So it was your own guess!
She turned to the actual topic: "Qian Shiqi, when you said this, you seem to be blaming me, but in fact you are blaming the prince!"
Concubine Qian was stunned and looked at the princess hurriedly: "I dare not."
"What are you afraid of?" Ji Yunqing put his hands on his hips: "What you said, didn't you mean that the prince didn't go to you last night, but went to find a vixen like me, damn it!"
"That's not what I meant."
Concubine Qian explained hastily, fearing that the princess would misunderstand.
The princess glared at Ji Yunqing: "Ji!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, but anyone with a brain can tell that this is nonsense."
Concubine Qian looked dissatisfied. How could this be nonsense?
Ji Yunqing went straight to the point of analyzing: "Princess, we need to analyze the matter of Concubine Qian carefully. After the accident, was Concubine Qian's body able to keep the child?"
Concubine Qian said without hesitation: "Of course I can keep it!"
"That's what I said to you to reassure you, but is it really okay?"
The princess closed her eyes and nodded gently: "The imperial physician said that I need to stay in bed and rest from now on. I can't get excited or make big movements. I have to take medicine every day and be very careful. I need to take care of myself slowly..."
Ji Yunqing nodded and asked again: "Did Concubine Qian encounter any special problems? You can't have a miscarriage immediately after hearing that the prince came into my room, right?"
Just as Concubine Qian was about to speak, she heard the princess continue.
"The entire Cuiwei Pavilion has been put under martial law. The maids here have not touched any plants or animals here. Imperial Doctor Zheng will be here soon."
The imperial physician Tang, who was often invited before, was good at maintaining pregnancy and prescribing medicine for children, while the imperial physician Zheng was good at identifying medicines, especially uncommon medicines.
Ji Yunqing immediately flattered her: "Princess is amazing, she actually thought of it so early, what a brilliant plan!"
