Chapter 165 The Iron-blooded Emperor's Palm
Ji Junze actually talked to a cat.
Shi Li almost shook her head.
She must never go out again, it's too dangerous outside.
If you must go out, you must stay by Ji Junze's side!
However, Shi Li remembered that she was a cat now, so she pretended to be ignorant and looked like she knew nothing, and called out to Ji Junze pitifully, aggrievedly and flatteringly.
"Meow--"
Then, she was gently picked up again and placed in a familiar position.
The soft bed and the pillow beside it allowed Shi Li to completely relax. She curled herself up into a furry ball and fell asleep peacefully.
Outside, there was an uproar because of what had just happened.
The news that her son was imprisoned in the ancestral hall and forced to kneel as punishment reached Qing Meiren's ears.
When she heard that her own son had suffered a defeat at the hands of Ji Junze, she could not bear it any longer. She no longer cared about anything else and rushed out directly to Qiu Ji's palace to make a big scene.
"Qiuji! Come out here!"
"What are you thinking! Ask your son to return Gu'er to me! If anything happens to my son, I will never let you off easily!"
Qing Meiren rushed into Qiu Ji's palace like a shrew, shouting all the way. Before she saw Qiu Ji, she saw Prince Yu with a livid face.
I was stunned.
How could he forget——
The last time the prince came back from completing his mission, he was highly praised by the king.
Afterwards, the king was too lazy to care about his favoritism towards Qiu Ji. As long as he did a good job in the tasks assigned to him every time, he would turn a blind eye.
Therefore, now, as long as the prince is not on official business, he will definitely appear here with Qiu Ji.
"What's the point of making such a scene?"
Although the prince had a gentle temper, he was still very angry when he saw Qing Meiren in this state. He waved his sleeves and glared at her coldly.
Lady Qing was stunned for a while, but she reacted quickly. She held back her tears and began to complain to the prince.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten about me and Gu'er? It's a pity that we, an orphan and a widow, are being bullied... Qiuji and her child are the apple of your eye. Isn't Gu'er the same? Please, Your Highness, make the decision for us!"
At this time, Ji Junze was still applying medicine to the cat in his room and had not informed anyone in advance.
So when the prince heard what Lady Qing said, he was also confused.
Seeing this, Qing Meiren was ready to make another effort and pour a basin of dirty water on Ji Junze's head.
At this moment, the pearl curtain leading to the bedroom was gently lifted by a beautiful and delicate hand.
The bead curtains collided with each other, making a tinkling sound.
Qiu Ji, wearing a thin gauze dress, walked out slowly, looked at the prince and Qing Meiren with a melancholy face, and coughed lightly twice.
"Husband... Your Highness, did Ze'er do something wrong? Ahem..."
The beauty's face was pale, and the prince had no time to care about other things. He walked up to Qiu Ji and supported her with concern, and carefully sat with her on the beauty couch.
"Don't worry, nothing's wrong. Ze'er is so obedient, how could he get into trouble? There must be something strange about this matter."
The prince automatically found an excuse for Ji Junze, and then, ignoring the stunned Qing Meiren, he directly asked his servant to call Ji Junze over.
"Your Highness, Gu'er is still being punished to kneel!" Qing Meiren reminded unwillingly.
As a result, she was given another cold stare by the prince.
"He's already a grown man. It won't hurt if he kneels for a while. Once I find out what happened, it won't be too late to call him back."
What could be more biased than this?
But Qing Meiren could not refute it, because the other party was the powerful prince.
She could only stand there in anger, waiting to have a good argument with Ji Junze.
But she forgot that she had never been a match for Qingqiu Ji and Ji Junze.
Ji Junze arrived at the scene quickly, glanced at Qing Meiren indifferently, and then saluted the prince and Qiu Ji.
"Mrs. Qing said that you sent Gu'er to the ancestral hall to make him kneel as punishment?"
The prince softened his tone, as if he was afraid of scaring Ji Junze.
"He is already seven years old and has not yet entered school. Several of his study companions are accomplices to the evil." Ji Junze was calm and his words hit the nail on the head.
Prince Yu just didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the rear quarters, he didn't really know nothing. Upon hearing this, he looked at Lady Qing with an unfriendly expression.
"Your Highness, I have been weak since childhood. I want to wait..." Lady Qing wanted to argue.
Who knew, but was interrupted by Qiu Ji's low cough.
The prince subconsciously glanced at Qiuji, and was furious. "Weak body? Do you know what kind of life Qiuji and I led in Suguo?"
Qing Meiren is destined to end up losing more than she gains today.
