Chapter 360: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Nine)
Cui Li saw that Ji Wei was still able to argue, while Ji Mingyue was gasping for breath and looked like she was about to die.
She knew that Ji Mingyue was resisting the formation and didn't want to return the things she had taken easily, so she echoed.
Cui Li: "It seems that Concubine Ji is very confused and has no idea what happened. How about Court Judge Qiao take her pulse to see if she has caught a cold and has a headache? But this is too coincidental that she would fall ill at this time. It has to arouse suspicion."
Qiao Zhi took the opportunity to step forward and check Ji Wei's pulse, saying that her pulse was weak, perhaps because she had caught a cold from the wind.
Cui Li: "Today we want to find out who is behind this evil spell. Since Concubine Ji's headache is caused by a cold, not a backlash from the Life-Breaking Formation, it seems that this evil spell was created by Concubine Ming Zhaoyi and has nothing to do with Concubine Ji. Your Majesty, let's let her go."
Ji Wei looked at Cui Li gratefully and cried softly, "Thank you, Imperial Noble Consort, for your insight. I really don't know anything. I wasn't treated well in Ji State. Since I can remember, I've only seen my father twice, and my biological mother never. Every day was difficult. Fortunately, I came to Daliang and felt the emperor's great grace. The Empress is kind and has never treated me harshly. How could I possibly harm her?"
Cui Li smiled soothingly.
Cui Li: "I think you are innocent, Concubine Ji. You were implicated by your sister and I am sorry for scaring you today."
The Queen frowned, not knowing what was going on between the Imperial Noble Consort and Qiao Yuanpan. She didn't think Consort Ji was innocent. They were both princesses of the Ji Kingdom. It didn't make sense that Ji Mingyue knew witchcraft but Ji Wei didn't!
After the queen was told that her life was taken away, she checked everyone in the harem, especially Ji Wei and Ji Mingyue, who had given her such strong feelings that day.
After learning that there was a so-called "Witch Clan" behind the royal family of Ji State, the queen became even more wary of the sisters.
Even though Ji Wei's words and deeds show that she is not favored, since she grew up in Ji State and stayed in the Ji State palace all day, it was inevitable that she would secretly learn the so-called "witchcraft".
Knowing that her elder sister has "witchcraft" to rely on, Ji Wei is not really afraid of Ji Mingyue. It is obvious that she knows Ji Mingyue's trump card!
In the Queen's view, Concubine Ji's headache was the backlash!
As for why it was not as serious as Ming Zhaoyi's, it might be because she was not well-trained and had a half-baked level, so she did not absorb much vitality and the backlash was not strong.
Liang Sheng: "Ming Zhaoyi used evil magic to attempt to harm the Queen, and she is sentenced to death. Since Concubine Ji is innocent, send someone to send Concubine Ji back to the palace to recuperate."
Queen Ji looked at the emperor in surprise. Why was it so sudden?
The strangeness of Ming Zhaoyi has not been fully investigated yet, and she is the eldest princess of Ji State. Will she be executed directly like this?
"No! Ji Wei is the least innocent! Even if I die, she will be buried with me!"
Ji Mingyue pushed with his right hand and dropped all the teacups on the table to the ground.
Her face was hideous, her hair was disheveled, and she stared at the innocent Ji Wei. She screamed and finally couldn't bear the severe pain anymore. She spat out a mouthful of black blood, and her face was covered with black and red veins, looking extremely terrifying.
As the black blood spurted out, a green worm also appeared. The green worm squirmed and slowly sucked the black blood into its abdomen, forming a flowing black line on its upper abdomen.
The Queen Mother covered her mouth and dared not make a sound.
The green worm left her body, causing Ji Mingyue's face to turn even paler. She said with difficulty, "So you guys are deliberately trying to provoke me, wanting me to be unable to resist the power of the formation."
The queen didn't dare to get close, her eyes fixed on the caterpillar. As the caterpillar appeared, she felt something in her body become restless.
Qiao Zhi observed the green worm and saw it quickly suck a pool of black blood into its stomach, half-supporting its body, preparing to jump onto Ji Mingyue.
He quickly took out the medicine bottle, opened it and sprinkled the powder on the caterpillar and its surroundings. Soon the caterpillar stopped wriggling.
Ji Mingyue screamed, "No! That's my Xiaoqing! It's my companion, the most precious treasure of the Wu Clan! You killed it! You will suffer retribution!"
