Chapter 167 The Iron-blooded Emperor's Palm
The ceremony of enthroning the queen and the crown prince went exceptionally smoothly.
When the many concubines were in the Prince's Mansion, they had already experienced the power of Qiu Ji and her son. Those who were not tactful like Qing Meiren had long become cannon fodder.
Naturally, they did not dare to provoke the remaining beauties. They just wanted to live their lives quietly and pray that they would not be noticed by the queen and the prince.
However, the identity has changed and there are many more rules than before.
The most obvious one is that Ji Junze has to pay a visit to the queen's palace every day to fulfill his filial duty.
He went to the queen's palace early every day, but he saw Qiu Ji very few times.
Every time, the head of the queen's palace would come out and tell him with an apologetic look that the queen was not feeling well that day or had not yet gotten up, and then easily sent him away.
Everyone knows that Ji Yu stays in the queen's palace every day, so it is naturally inconvenient for Qiu Ji to see her son.
Ji Junze disagreed and continued to show filial piety every day.
The same was true for Ji Yu's other children. Even though they knew they could not see the queen, they still had to save face.
Even the cat Shi Li hasn't seen Qiu Ji for a long time.
I wonder if she will still be as innocent as before after becoming the queen?
After Ji Junze came to the palace of Feng State, Shi Li became bolder. After all, the naughty child had been sent to another country as a hostage, so he dared to sneak out for a walk occasionally.
I accidentally wandered a little too far today and almost walked into the palace where Ji Yu and the ministers were meeting.
From a distance, a middle-aged man dressed in green and with a noble demeanor was seen standing in front of Ji Yu.
The two of them had a very pleasant conversation, not like a king and his subject, but rather like close friends.
Shi Li was curious and eavesdropped quietly at the side. After a while, she heard the man's identity.
He is the great businessman Meng Jia who supported Ji Yu all the way to become the king!
Now, Meng Jia relied on Ji Yu in turn and completely got rid of his lowly status as a merchant and became a doctor in Feng State.
From his and Ji Yu's current positions, it can be seen that Ji Yu trusts and relies on him very much.
But this is not the reason for Shi Li's curiosity.
The cat has very good hearing. She immediately recognized that Meng Jia's voice was exactly the same as the man who sneaked into Qiu Ji's bedroom when Ji Yu was out.
So exciting?
How dare these two people cheat on Ji Yu right under his nose?
It is common for people to love gossip. Even after Shi Li turned into a cat, she could not change her bad habit. She could not help but walk closer, and her feet made some subtle noises.
"Where did the cat come from?"
As a result, she was discovered by Meng Jia, who looked at her with a frown.
Shi Li was stunned and dared not move.
This seemingly gentle businessman has eyes as sharp as a knife and is not as easy to get along with as he appears.
"It's okay, it should be the cat raised by the prince."
Unexpectedly, Ji Yu still remembered Shi Li. He waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine. He even stretched out a hand to her, trying to call her over.
Shi Like didn't dare to go over. He just called out to Ji Yu and then flew away without looking back.
[Hahaha! The anchor is scared~]
[Meng Jia's look just now was indeed quite scary, the kind that could cast a shadow! ]
[In comparison, Ji Yu seems like a silly and innocent girl, alas~]
Shi Li ran a long way in one breath before he dared to stop. When he looked back, he couldn't see anyone. He breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to end today's adventure and go back.
On the way back, he met two palace maids hiding behind a rockery, secretly discussing the queen.
"Has the Queen had a cough again recently?"
"Yes, yes. I see the people in the pharmacy making medicine and sending it over every day. The Queen's palace is filled with the smell of medicine."
"Whenever the queen is sick, the king has to take medicine as well, hehehe!"
"I think the king drinks more medicine than the queen. Medicine is poisonous to some extent, and the king really has no taboos!"
Shi Li's eavesdropping was not discovered this time, but the palace servant only said this much and then dispersed.
Only a little white cat was left standing there, looking thoughtful.
She felt like something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Forget it, even if the sky falls, Ji Junze is still there to hold it up!
She's just a kitten lying flat.
Shi Li couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it. Plus, she was a little hungry, so she immediately put everything she had heard today behind her and ran happily towards the Prince's Palace.
Ji Junze had not yet married, so he did not leave the palace. Ji Yu chose the best palace for him in the palace, second only to the queen's palace.
It can be seen that this son still means a lot to him, but I don't know if this counts as the son's status being elevated by the mother's.
Shi Li returned to the Prince's Palace, but Ji Junze had not returned yet.
She lay comfortably on the prince's bed, waiting for Ji Junze to come back and prepare food for her.
It's so comfortable to stay in a house with a heated floor.
But Shi Li didn't expect that she had to wait until late at night before Ji Junze showed up.
Just when I was wondering why he came back so late today, I found that he was wearing Su Bai mourning clothes.
Ji Yu passed away!
