Chapter 175 The Iron-blooded Emperor's Palm
The empress dowager, who had been in a coma for many days, also woke up in the palace.
The people around him told Qiu Ji about Meng Jia's ending.
She sat on the bed blankly, two lines of tears slowly flowing down her thin and pale face.
If he had known this earlier, Meng Jia would have just been a wealthy businessman in Su State, and the two of them could have lived a free and easy life together, wouldn’t that be good?
"Get me some paper and pen so I can write a letter to the king."
After being stunned for a while, Qiu Ji gave a low order.
In the past, even when she became the queen mother, she still called herself "I", but now she has finally become the real "Ai Jia".
Perhaps when she coaxed Ji Yu to drink the medicinal soup mixed with chronic poison day after day, she should have thought that such a day would come.
Just as the letter was written, another team of guards came to the palace.
The leading guard said to Qiu Ji, "The king is worried about the health of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother likes the temporary palace, so she can stay here for a while."
The mother-son relationship between Ji Junze and Qiu Ji had long ended.
If they were to meet again, neither of them would feel comforted, and it would be best for Qiu Ji to stay in the palace.
Qiu Ji was not surprised at this and handed the letter she had written in advance to the guard.
"The palace is a place of good feng shui, so I will stay here. Please give the letter to the king."
As he said this, he turned and looked towards the garden.
The flowers are gone.
When she first came to the palace, the flowers were blooming so beautifully.
But in just a few days, his life was burned out.
For a queen mother like her, who holds the most honorable position in Feng State, what’s the point?
She never got what she really wanted.
A snow-white butterfly staggered in from outside and finally landed lightly on Qiu Ji's hair, as if she was wearing a pure white flower.
Qiu Ji suddenly remembered that when Ji Yu died of poison, she was wearing a white flower in her hair.
Now this white butterfly seems to be worn by her for another person.
It’s the last bit of friendship.
Most of the guards from the palace stayed in the temporary palace, under the pretext of protecting the queen mother, but in fact they were just guarding her.
The other half, carrying the letter written by Qiu Ji, returned to the palace to report.
The letter was placed on Ji Junze's desk.
After the guards left, he raised one hand, picked up the letter, and opened it without hesitation.
My son Junze:
Now my long-cherished wish has come true, from now on I will live forever and enjoy this land all to myself.
I will never see you again in this life.
In just a few words, Qiu Ji seemed like a heartbroken mother.
However, when she persuaded the young Ji Junze to obey Meng Jia, she never considered Ji Junze. What's more, if she had cared a little about the relationship between mother and son, she would not have been so determined to poison Ji Yu.
Everything that happens now is the result of the causes and effects that were created in the past.
Ji Junze put down the letter and glanced at the kitten sleeping soundly on the bed.
Although the kitten was also sleepy in the summer in previous years, she has been sleeping too much recently. Even when she wakes up, she is too lazy to move.
Ji Junze frowned slightly, stood up and walked over.
Eight years have passed since he picked up the lychees in the rain.
From the Qin Mansion in Su State, to the Prince's Mansion in Feng State, and then to the current royal palace, the only one who has been with him is this kitten.
Shi Li was sleeping soundly and felt a gentle force touching her back. She opened her eyes and meowed softly.
You know the changes in your body better than anyone else.
But in order not to make Ji Junze worry, Shi Li still tried hard to rub his palm.
Just like in the past.
Now, Ji Junze has finally become the true ruler of Feng State.
But his ambition goes far beyond just a prosperous country.
Previously, the political situation was unstable and there were occasional frictions with other vassal states, but Feng State never sent troops to conquer them.
But now that the country is strong and the internal situation is stable, it is time to expand the territory of rule.
Ji Junze looked at the map spread out on the table, his gaze slowly fixed on the State of Su, which was adjacent to the State of Feng.
He had stayed in Su State for more than ten years and understood the country which was gradually declining.
Last month, relations between the two countries further deteriorated over a city rich in iron ore.
Ji Junze stretched out his finger and gently tapped the map, pointing at the words "Suguo", his eyes calm and firm.
This time, he will lead the army in person!
Before leaving the palace, Ji Junze wanted to take Shi Li with him.
Although the march was arduous, Ji Junze was unwilling to leave her alone in the palace.
The kitten, who was always well-behaved and obedient, was extremely resistant this time. Even when Ji Junze came to hold her personally, she struggled desperately, as if she had made up her mind to stay in the palace.
Ji Junze looked at her deeply and finally compromised.
"wait me back."
These were the last four words Ji Junze said to Shi Li.
