Chapter 358: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Seven)

The Queen Mother thought of Qiao Zhi's medical skills and praised him, "Counselor Qiao is young and promising, with excellent medical skills. The pills he prepared for me are indeed good, but I'm not like you, Li'er, who always carry them with me when I go out. I used to think I wouldn't have to worry about accidents in the palace, but now it seems I should carry them with me too. Who can guarantee that there will be no danger?"

Ji Wei listened to the conversation between the Queen Mother and others, and only then did she realize that the assassination was related to the dead emperor of Qi, and that Ji Mingyue did not die from excessive blood loss, but because she took Qiao Zhi's medicine!

She was wondering why a royal concubine would carry antidotes with her. Normally, only doctors would do that, but she was sure that Cui Li didn't know any medicine, otherwise she wouldn't have been poisoned to death in her previous life.

Cui Li happened to cure the poison of the man in black. Ji Wei was still wondering if Cui Li had written and directed it himself, or if he had received the news in advance and knew that someone was coming to assassinate him, so he made preparations in advance.

You have to know that those who died that night were all royal relatives or the emperor's trusted ministers. If they all died, the royal family would be directly threatened and its foundation would be shaken.

Therefore, these living people expressed their gratitude to Cui Li for her detoxification, which invisibly enhanced the reputation of the imperial concubine.

Both she and Cui Li were pregnant, and she had a premonition that she would give birth to twins, a boy and a girl. However, if Cui Li gave birth to a prince, both the former dynasty and the harem would most likely appoint Cui Li's son as the crown prince, rather than her son, a princess from another country.

As for whether the emperor would have other women give birth to his children, Ji Wei had a hunch that it might not happen. The emperor now seemed like a romantic man, and his mind was all on Cui Li.

Therefore, Ji Wei understood that she would still need to get rid of Cui Li and the fetus in her womb in the future.

She has been granted the title of imperial concubine and can raise the princes and princesses herself. If she cannot eliminate Cui Li, she must win over the queen. To win over the queen, she will have to give her own children to the queen to raise. She cannot bear to give up her son, so she will give the princess to the queen, and register her in the queen's name, making her a legitimate princess.

Even if people raise a dog, they will develop feelings for it, let alone a human. The queen will definitely consider the princess's future.

Ji Wei believed that her lovely daughter, raised under the name of the queen, would definitely help her brother to seize the throne in the future.

Even if it doesn't work in the short term, ten or twenty years later, the Ji Kingdom will no longer exist and everyone will be a citizen of Daliang. What reason do those ministers have to refuse her son from competing for the throne?

Unfortunately, Ji Mingyue did not die. Ji Wei felt insecure with a giant python around her.

She felt that she had underestimated Ji Mingyue, and also felt that if she fought with Ji Mingyue, the Queen, the Imperial Noble Consort and others would laugh at her, and they would benefit from it.

But if she was asked to try to make peace with Ji Mingyue, she was unwilling to do so, and Ji Mingyue probably wouldn't believe her.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological reaction, but Ji Wei feels uneasy and anxious, and always feels that something bad is going to happen.

Ji Wei sat there in a daze until she heard the Queen Mother asking her how she was doing recently. Then she forced herself to cheer up and answer the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother said nothing more, but nodded and said, "Princess Ji, please take good care of yourself. You look so pale."

After saying that, he continued chatting with Cui Li and the Queen.

Other concubines would occasionally join in the conversation, and it looked like they were having a great time.

Thinking that she could finally leave, Ji Wei was a little impatient to leave.

But the Queen Mother hadn't spoken yet, so she could only sit there and serve as a foil.

"Alright, it's getting late, everyone should go back to the palace. The Queen and the Imperial Noble Consort will stay with me for a while."

The Queen Mother finally spoke, and everyone else waited for Ji Wei and Ji Mingyue, the two high-ranking concubines, to leave first.

Cui Li sniffed and smelled the faint scent of burning talisman paper. She knew that the formation was complete.

Ji Wei's heart skipped a beat and her face turned visibly pale. Her head felt like it was hit by a heavy object and she had a splitting headache.

Ji Mingyue was also trying hard to endure the discomfort and wanted to leave as soon as possible, but she couldn't walk out at all, as if she was tied to a chair and couldn't move.
