Chapter 455: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (205)
After hearing this, Wu Lan realized that Ji Wei could not tolerate Empress Ji. She advised, "This... If Imperial Noble Consort Cui hadn't died, then Empress Ji would have died, and the position of empress would most likely have gone to Cui Li. Wouldn't that have allowed Cui Li to take advantage? Princess, please don't do anything that harms others and yourself."
Ji Wei felt unhappy when she thought of Ji Shilan who swaggered into her Caiwei Palace and acted domineeringly.
Isn’t it just because his brother Ji Jiuyuan won the battle?
Before, when Ji Jiuyuan was guarding the border, because of the crime of deceiving the emperor by Madam Ji, Ji Shilan took the initiative to return the Phoenix Seal and set up a Buddhist temple in Kunning Palace, saying that she wanted to pray for Daliang.
When Ji Jiuyuan entered the palace to meet the empress dowager, Ji Shilan left Kunning Palace by herself to pay her respects to the empress dowager.
Ji Wei was also dissatisfied with Queen Mother Cui. After meeting Ji Jiuyuan, this old witch asked the Queen to pay more attention to her, Ji Wei, and returned part of the palace power to Ji Shilan to appease the Ji family.
She never knew that Queen Ji Shilan was so annoying. Her malice towards her was written all over her face, and her venomous gaze lingered around her abdomen, making her want to pull out her hairpin and blind those annoying eyes on the spot.
She treasures the baby in her belly the most, so how could she tolerate a vicious woman in the palace trying to harm her!
"Didn't you see how she's been walking around wildly again since His Majesty feigned illness and Ji Jiuyuan returned to the capital? How dare she threaten me? I'll make her suffer! Those in Chengqian Palace are staying locked up under the pretext of pregnancy, but in reality, they've already fled the palace. Whether Cui Li lives or dies is beyond my control for now, but can't I deal with this fake phoenix?"
"Princess, don't let Ji Shilan anger you and do something you'll regret. Isn't it because Ji Shilan relies on her father and brother that she dares to act so arrogantly? We can deal with her after Ji Jiuyuan leaves the capital." Ji Wei waved her hand and said impatiently, "You should leave first. Don't bother me unless necessary."
Wu Lan lowered her head and slowly retreated, then smiled sinisterly in a corner where no one else could see.
In the Cining Palace, the empress dowager closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage of the nanny behind her.
"Your Majesty, Chief Steward Le is here."
"You go down first and ask him to come in."
Le Chang entered the inner room and bowed respectfully to greet the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother asked anxiously, "How is it? Has Li'er been found?"
"In reply to the Empress Dowager, I received a letter from His Majesty stating that the time has come for the Imperial Noble Consort of Chengqian Palace to successfully give birth to a prince. As for the Imperial Noble Consort's whereabouts, His Majesty has not mentioned it, but I believe His Majesty must have found her master before making such arrangements."
Queen Mother Cui was somewhat disappointed by not receiving any definite news, but she still said, "Alright, I will immediately send a trusted confidant to Chengqian Palace to arrange the birth. We can't delay any longer, otherwise people will suspect Li'er. Tell the Emperor that although there will be no major chaos with Prime Minister Xuan as regent, the ruler is away. If those with ulterior motives learn of this and set an ambush on the way to harm him, the consequences will be disastrous. Tell him to return as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. His Majesty is traveling day and night and is heading to the capital. You will be able to see His Majesty soon."
The next day, everyone in the palace knew that Imperial Noble Concubine Cui had given birth to a prince and was recuperating, refusing to see anyone.
Ji Wei smashed the teacup directly.
"What's going on? Even if Cui Li isn't dead, she should be outside the palace! That person from Chengqian Palace is fake! Fake! Could it be that Cui Li is still alive and gave birth successfully, so the news of her giving birth spread! No! We must kill her! Kill her son! Wu Lan, go quickly! Kill them!"
"Princess, calm down! The only thing you should do now is to take good care of yourself and give birth to the twins safely. There's still a long way to go, so why rush? I think we'll know what's going on soon."
Ji Wei pounded the table hard, and the pain in her hand calmed her down a little.
"You are right. This palace must ensure a safe delivery. I will definitely give birth to a prince. My son will be the future ruler of the world!"
The common ruler of the world?
When Wu Lan saw that Ji Wei had such great ambitions, she knew that the third princess was difficult to control.
Wu Lan left Caiwei Palace and, after many twists and turns, entered a deserted palace.
"Have you done what I asked?"
An ordinary-looking eunuch said respectfully, "Don't worry, young master. I've hidden the child well. She will give birth in about half a month. She is very loyal to the Wu Clan and is willing to give up the child in her belly. But..."
