Chapter 247
King Zhao always felt that something was strange.
This Ji seems to be my favorite concubine, right?
He turned to look at Ji, and saw that the woman was still in shock and hiding behind a large vase that was more than a meter tall in the corner.
His tense body was pressed tightly against the big vase, as if he was holding on to a life-saving straw. He closed his eyes and buried his head in the vase, not daring to look anywhere else.
As if he noticed the gazes of the three people, Ji Yunqing raised his head belatedly.
"Your Majesty..."
"Princess, Concubine Wen, I know you care about me and love me. Princess, you are so kind, and Concubine Wen is so considerate."
Ji Yunqing's eyes were full of water, full of sincere pleading: "But don't quarrel for me, because you must have been frightened just now."
King Zhao nodded secretly, thinking that this was still a reasonable thing to say.
Ji is still sensible.
The next moment, Ji Yunqing came up with a thoughtful and good idea.
"How about this, the three of us will stay together tonight. I believe that with you guys accompanying me, I won't be afraid of anything tonight!"
live together?
The princess was reluctant, and the concubine turned her head away silently.
But none of them reacted as violently as King Zhao.
King Zhao was so angry that he almost laughed. He questioned this woman who seemed timid but was actually very bold: "Three people? Where do you think I am?" It was a waste of time as he was still thinking about appeasing Ji.
Ji Yunqing blinked her eyes. It was not like she hadn’t heard what was said before.
A bad man shares the good times, but he doesn't want to be part of the bad times at all!
Her tone was full of surprise: "Could it be that the prince wants to live with the three of us too?"
"But……"
Ji Yunqing looked a little embarrassed: "But the princess's big bed, I'm afraid it can't accommodate four people?" The prince is tall and big, it really takes up a lot of space.
Hearing her words, King Zhao's face turned even darker.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "How does Ji know how big the princess's bed is?"
Could it be that she has met Ji Shi?
when?
Why didn't he know?
Ji Yunqing admitted straightforwardly: "Your Majesty, I guessed it."
Where has she seen it?
She is just talking nonsense.
whee.
Seeing that Prince Zhao looked unhappy, the princess immediately reminded him, "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass Concubine Ji. She is young and has not experienced anything. Don't bother with her."
Concubine Wen also spoke up: "Cousin, we were just joking just now. Please let Concubine Ji go back and rest. She is so scared that she has started talking nonsense."
"Your Majesty, the incident of the flower thief today is probably not an accident. Please go and investigate it immediately."
"That's right, cousin. Could it be that some blind person is deliberately targeting our family? Oh my god, this person is so evil."
"By the way, Your Majesty, you also said that this matter should not be spread outside. You must be worried that people outside who don't know about it will spread rumors. But if someone deliberately set up a trap, this matter will inevitably leak out."
"When the time comes, there will be many different opinions. What should we do, cousin?"
If this matter is not handled properly, the reputation of all the women in the palace will be damaged.
The two of them were talking back and forth, as if the sky would fall if King Zhao didn't deal with the aftermath immediately.
King Zhao felt a headache from being scolded: "Okay, all of you go back and have a good rest. Don't panic. I will handle this matter myself."
Then he ordered the servants: "Why don't you help your master back? Serve him carefully."
By now the floor had already been cleaned up by the servants, even the last trace of blood had been wiped away.
King Zhao then strode out. He had indeed rushed back after finding out some information, as he was very busy now.
When they reached the door, King Zhao turned around and gave one last reminder: "By the way, take Concubine Ji back. She is still under house arrest and cannot go out at will."
Ji Yunqing: “…”
As for being so anxious?
She hadn't played the victim well yet, so she took the opportunity to thank the two of them.
After all, the two of them were really nice to her today and didn't take advantage of the opportunity to trick her to death.
Time was running out, Ji Yunqing quickly stepped forward to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Princess, Concubine Wen"
While speaking, she subconsciously wanted to touch her neck that was pulled: "Hiss——"
It hurts so much, it must be bleeding.
"do not move"
"do not move"
Two voices sounded at the same time, and Ji Yunqing quickly put down his hand.
The princess disagreed and said, "Your neck is injured, don't touch it with your hands. Someone, go get the palace doctor."
Concubine Wen stared at Ji Yunqing, not understanding when she became so close to the princess, but she still said unwillingly: "I still have a lot of good medicinal herbs, I will send them to you later."
"Thank you for your concern, Princess. Thank you for the herbs, Concubine Wen. However, I only hurt my neck a little bit. It's just a superficial injury. There's no need to worry."
Although Ji Yunqing couldn't see her neck, she could feel that her neck was still there, not broken and very flexible.
At this time, the princess felt that she had indeed overreacted. She subconsciously restrained herself a lot and said in an unquestionable tone:
"You are a concubine in the mansion, and you were injured because of the Taoist priest I invited. We can't just leave you like this and do nothing."
It was one thing for the women in the mansion to frame each other, but it was another thing for them to be harmed by thieves.
Ji Yunqing retorted disapprovingly: "Princess, you didn't know in advance that the Taoist priest you invited this time would be like this. It's all because of that Taoist priest's fraud!"
Until the court doctor hurried over, carefully examined Ji Yunqing, and finally took out a small porcelain bottle.
"Please rest assured, Princess, Concubine, the concubine only has skin injuries, it's okay, just don't let the wound come into contact with water for the next few days, and just change the medicine once a day."
Ji Yunqing nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Xuancao was also listening carefully from behind. After the court doctor finished speaking, she leaned over and asked about some precautions.
For example, what attention should be paid to diet in the next few days, whether medicine is needed, etc.
Xuancao took care of these things. Ji Yunqing thanked the princess sincerely, and then left the main courtyard with Concubine Wen.
When no one else was around, Madam Lou asked the maids to leave, and then she said with a smile: "Princess, you reacted really quickly. If you hadn't said that, the prince would definitely have gone straight to the Osmanthus Courtyard."
"At first, I thought you were the concubine of the previous generation, but I realized it after hearing the end. This way, you can show your kindness and love for your concubine, and also separate the two of them."
Nanny Lou couldn't hide the smile on her face, "I can also do good to Concubine Ji. If in the future..." If she hugged the Fourth Young Master, I'm afraid Concubine Ji would not have any objection.
The more Nanny Lou thought about it, the more she felt that the princess's reaction today was amazing!
Looking up, she saw that the princess's hair was still loose. She slapped her thigh and said hurriedly, "Oh, princess, your hair is messy. I will comb it for you again."
She was still muttering that it was a pity to waste the ruby hairpin: "That is the princess's favorite hairpin."
The princess sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, and murmured absentmindedly: "Mammy, I don't think so much."
Lou Ma was busy picking out the right hairpin for the princess. She replied without even looking up, "What are you thinking about? Are you really attracted to Concubine Ji?"
After saying this, she even found it funny.
