Chapter 162

King Lie is also confused!

All right, now I've become a vixen?

How am I seducing?

Who did I seduce?

Concubine Wen was also quite embarrassed. She quickly bowed to the two of them and explained, "Cousin, I heard that someone was coming to seduce you..."

Yup

Concubine Wen suddenly came to her senses: "Cousin, did you see the others coming?"

King Zhao was indifferent and said: "No"

No?

How can this be?

Did she regret not coming?

This is what Concubine Wen thought, but the people following her didn't think so.

Cen Xi thought secretly: What's going on?

Is the medicine not effective enough?

Concubine Lou raised her eyebrows: Is it because I gave you too little medicine?

Or was he discovered?

Concubine Wang looked at Concubine Lou suddenly. Could something have gone wrong?

impossible!

The other people at the scene also had mixed feelings.

For a moment, the scene was silent.

However, King Lie often hung out with women in the backyard and quickly guessed what was going on.

He suggested with interest: "That girl...is she not here yet?"

"impossible!"

Several people said in unison.

If he hadn't come, all their efforts would have been in vain.

When they saw the strange looks from King Zhao's two brothers, they realized that something was wrong.

King Zhao thought for a moment and said, "It's getting late, my fourth brother should go back."

It was so hard to see King Zhao, who was usually calm and reserved, in the limelight, and King Lie was unwilling to leave.

"Come on, let me see if I am still a good brother to the Third Prince."

King Zhao is ruthless: "Never"

King Lie: "... Then I have to go and see it. I am not a good brother anyway."

"You don't have to accompany your little sister who is pregnant with twins?"

"No need to accompany"

King Lie had long lost his patience, but fortunately the baby was about to be born, so he waited until it was born.

He had already made plans. If it was a boy, King Lie would give the child to the princess to raise.

Under King Zhao's cold gaze, King Lie finally retreated in dismay.

"Okay, then I won't go."

King Zhao originally wanted to send someone to look for the person, so he waited here. But for some unknown reason, he changed his mind and planned to go there himself.

The group walked to a certain place and heard a commotion.

"do not move"

"Stop touching me"

"Put your hands down!"

Cen Xi cursed those two pieces of trash in her heart. She clearly didn't give them much medicine, so how come they couldn't even last such a short time?

Are you really so unrestrained and dissolute?

Concubine Lou also took a deep breath and clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

He said calmly, "My Lord, what is that sound?"

Everyone present looked at her at once.

You've already given birth to a child, are you serious?

Concubine Lou frowned: "..." She knew she had said the wrong thing.

Suddenly, King Zhao heard something and took a quick step forward, walked around a big tree on the side of the road, and finally saw the scene.

His handsome face immediately turned from dark to green, and then from green to black.

Her sharp eyes could not help but stare at the hand that was holding her fair wrist, and her voice was sinister and she wanted to eat someone: "Let her go!"

Ji Yunqing's heart trembled. Why did King Zhao come?

"Your Majesty!"

She obeyed reflexively and let go of the clothes that were tightly holding the mother and daughter of the Ji family.

This time, the mother and daughter of the Ji family became more flexible. Miss Ji II immediately grabbed Ji Yunqing's clothes.

My confused mind remembered my mother's words.

"...take off your clothes...untie your belt...take off your pants...you can't run away"

Who taught you to say that?

Ji Yunqing's eyes went dark and he quickly covered his chest to protect his innocence.

The maids also hurriedly mustered up the courage to rescue their master, but unfortunately the mother and daughter of the Ji family acted entirely on instinct, and pulled their clothes from time to time. Their movements were quick and agile, like two slippery fish.

The one who moved faster than them was Prince Zhao. He grabbed Miss Ji and pushed her into the flowers nearby.

He looked at Ji Yunqing with a dark face: "Who told you to let go? Can't you just push them away?"

At this moment, King Zhao looked at her with fierce and sharp eyes. Ji Yunqing thought strangely in her heart that this scene was like catching an adulterer!

She shook her head violently.

No, no, no, she wasn't the only one who had her clothes torn off, it shouldn't be that serious.

I thought so in my heart, but when Ji Yunqing opened his mouth, I could clearly feel his weakness.

She said dryly, "My Lord, why are you here?"

King Zhao sneered and pushed Miss Ji, who had just climbed up, back into the flowers beside her.

"If the king doesn't come, what else do you want to do?"

Ji Yunqing's forehead was covered with sweat. From what she said, it sounded as if she and her second sister were having an affair.

She lowered her head, like the guy next door who was caught cheating, and whispered, "Your Highness, she, she, she is a girl!" I am a girl too.

It would have been better if she didn't mention this. As soon as she mentioned this, King Zhao suddenly remembered it.

Just a few days ago, the woman in front of me was flirting with other women, making shifty eyes and making eye contact.

It doesn't look like an easy match at first glance!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. King Zhao glared at Ji Yunqing angrily. Before the women who were secretly observing the situation from behind could feel happy, they saw King Zhao glaring at them equally again.

Stare at everyone!

The women were confused.

Concubine Lou couldn't help but say, "My Lord, I..."

God has eyes.

They just stood there and did nothing!

King Zhao said coldly: "Nothing."

Ji had always been timid and fearful, so she didn't dare to have an affair behind his back.

What happened a few days ago was probably just something the Ji family did to build good relations, but today it must be the mother and daughter of the Ji family who are causing trouble.

The king does not blame Ji Shi.

As he thought about it, his face became even more gloomy.

As the head of the family, it seems that he must go back and investigate the situation of the woman in the backyard.

Girls: "..."

You don't look like you have nothing to do!

After a short while, King Zhao moved swiftly and mercilessly pushed the two men, especially Miss Ji, who was trying to crawl out with her hair and clothes in disarray, into the flowers and pushed her again and again.

At this time, King Lie came out from a corner, his charming face full of disapproval.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a beautiful girl this is. It's rare that she has such a warm attitude. Third brother is so lucky. How can he push this blessing away?"

He followed here secretly, and the servants following him looked helpless. It was not because they did not try hard enough.

King Zhao was not surprised that this guy did not leave, and he immediately said: "This blessing is for you, get these two people away quickly!"

He didn't think this was some kind of blessing, and judging from the exciting scene just now, he just thought they were two seductive vixens.

King Lie glanced at the two women, who seemed to be somewhat out of their minds.

I don’t know what they went through.

He curled his lips and said, "This is for my third brother. A gentleman should not take away what others like!"

Fortunately, the servants in the mansion were still of some use, and the prince could not always be asked to do it himself. The servants quickly captured the two people who were becoming increasingly confused.

The court doctor finally arrived.

He wrinkled his old face, leaned closer and squinted to take a closer look, and found that it was not the master of the backyard.

Although he was curious about what was going on, he always ignored everything and did whatever he was told, and this time was no exception.

"Your Highness, this girl seems to have been poisoned by several drugs. I am not very knowledgeable. I only know that the effects of the drugs are similar, but there is no cure. We can only wait for the effects to wear off naturally."

Several kinds of medicine?

Ji Yunqing was deeply shocked.

My goodness, who did this?

Are you going to give them this medicine as a meal?

Thinking of something, she immediately looked up, her eyes full of obvious shock and disbelief.

"Your Highness, my mother and sister came to visit us. Who could have thought that they would end up like this? Who is so cruel?"

As she spoke, Ji Yunqing burst into tears: "I, Ji Yunqing, have always been innocent, is there anyone trying to discredit me by framing my mother and sister?

Prince↗~~~"

Ji Yunqing's shout was trembling, as if it contained endless grievances.

She had to be the first to identify the incident as a frame-up. She had to be the poor victim. After all, these two people walked out of her yard. She might as well become the murderer.

King Zhao saw that she was crying so hard that even three handkerchiefs could not stop her tears. He said with a headache, "Don't worry, this matter will definitely be resolved."

"Um……"

Ji Yunqing nodded reluctantly.

The crying tone suddenly disappeared from her voice, and it became as sweet as if it was soaked in honey: "I believe in you, Your Majesty."

At this time, the young woman who had stopped crying had red eyes and looked at the tall and handsome man with sparkling eyes, her eyes full of boundless trust.

This scene was extremely harmonious, but it hurt some people's eyes.

Concubine Lou was so angry that she broke the atmosphere by saying, "Your Highness, if I remember correctly, Madam Ji left Concubine Ji's Osmanthus Courtyard and did not go anywhere else. How could she take Chinese medicine for no reason?"

"Cousin, there must be something fishy about this matter. Maybe someone did it on purpose."

The two spoke in unison, and when Concubine Lou took a look, she found it was Concubine Wen.

Now she felt much more at ease.

Concubine Wen is the prince's cousin. As everyone knows, she has never liked anyone competing for the prince's favor. Is there anyone in the palace who is slightly favored and has not been troubled by her?

Ji Yunqing is young, beautiful, and has a child. How could Concubine Wen not be afraid of her?

Concubine Wen wanted to speak, and had no intention of giving Concubine Lou a step. She glared at Concubine Lou in an extremely coquettish manner, then turned to look at Prince Zhao.

Her voice was as clear as jade: "Cousin, the two of them took Chinese medicine. They must be as stupid as pigs. Concubine Ji is dull and stupid. How could she know what drugging is?"

"Also, these two eat so many different things, who knows how many people have drugged them."

Facing her cousin's questioning gaze, Concubine Wen stiffened her neck and said confidently: "What if, what if they think it tastes good and they like it! Right, cousin?"

Concubine Lou was a little nervous at first, but now she was laughing while listening to it. At the same time, she felt much more relieved.

Concubine Wen must be speaking sarcastically. How could there be a fool who would take that kind of medicine on his own?

However, what Concubine Wen said gave her an idea.

Who says that only bad words can bring someone down?

She gathered herself together, a persuasive look on her face.

"Your Majesty, what the concubine said makes sense. Maybe someone dropped the medicine while passing by, and Madam Ji and the others accidentally took it."

Cen Xi, who finally found an opportunity to interrupt, was puzzled: "This is really strange, how could someone leave something like this behind? And why did Madam Ji eat it?"

Seeing that she had finally caught King Zhao's attention, Cen Xi was excited and quickly showed her best profile, with endless sorrow between her brows.

"Your Majesty, I believe Sister Ji is not the kind of person who would harm Your Majesty for her own selfish interests. She must have her own difficulties."

After she finished speaking, she became even more excited when she saw King Zhao looking at her thoughtfully.

If she had known earlier, she would not have listened to her cousin the princess asking her to behave herself. Now that she is actively performing, the prince will surely not forget her, right?

You never know when I’ll go to her yard again.

King Zhao's mouth was tense and he could hardly be happy.

This is the third one. Is this how other people’s backyards help each other?

Something happened to Ji Yunqing, no, even before anything happened, so many people came to plead for her. What on earth do they want to do?

Especially this woman named Cen. This woman was quite attentive to him when he first entered the mansion. Later, every time he went to that courtyard, she would talk about Ji Yunqing all the time.

It seems that the two of them don't get along, but now think about it carefully.

It's as if my whole heart is tied to Ji Yunqing.

Well, King Zhao finally understood that this woman was so scheming that even he was almost deceived by her.

There was a gleam in Concubine Lou's eyes. It was not easy to make Cong Cenxi fall out of favor, and she could not let her attract the prince's attention again.

Once the princess has a child, even if it is adopted, what does her child have to do with?

Her child is just a little weak. If she takes good care of him, maybe he can grow up and get married and have children.

Why can't you fight for that position?

Thinking of this, Concubine Lou spoke slowly, unnoticedly diverting King Zhao's attention.

Wait until the mother and daughter of the Ji family finally woke up.

Mrs. Ji looked at the unfamiliar environment in confusion, recalling what had happened before.

Didn’t she take her daughter to look for the prince?

Where is the prince?

What about the daughter?

Could it be... Thinking of a possibility, Mrs. Ji smiled happily.

"Mother, what are you laughing at? Tell me so I can laugh too."

Mrs. Ji was startled, and then she saw Ji Yunqing standing at the table practicing calligraphy.

She looked at Ji Yunqing's calm face and had a bad feeling.

"Where's your sister? Has she been with..."

"And what?" Ji Yunqing gently put down the brush in his hand and admired the words that he thought were pretty good.

I feel that if she practices for a few more years, maybe she will be able to write beautiful handwriting.

Ji Yunqing had no chance of ever dreaming of mastering the kind of calligraphy that was praised by the ancients in just one year.

She hadn’t been able to practice her handwriting well during the nine years of compulsory education in her previous life. How could they change her in just one year in ancient times? It was a joke!

Madam Ji, who was lying on the bed, saw that her stepdaughter didn't take her seriously at all, and she was furious: "What are you talking about? Why did your sister get poisoned? How did you harm her?"

Only then did Ji Yunqing look up at her: "Mother, who said that I harmed her? Do you have any evidence?"

Mrs. Ji felt uneasy when she looked at her.

He said with all his might, "We just came out of your yard and this happened. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"
