Chapter 380 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Twenty-Nine)
After being surprised, Wu Lan immediately advised, "Third Princess, you've misunderstood the eldest princess. You're still able to live in this magnificent palace and still find fault with the lack of variety in the dishes. Shouldn't you be grateful that the eldest princess didn't expose you? Have you been in Daliang for so long that you really think you're a benevolent and virtuous person? If the Queen of Daliang knew it was you who caused her to be childless, do you think she would retaliate against you?"
Wu Lan's hand gently touched Ji Wei's abdomen, which frightened Ji Wei so much that she slapped Wu Lan's hand hard and threw it aside, glaring at her, "How dare you!"
Ji Wei was so frightened that her hands were shaking. She stammered, "How did you know? I clearly..."
"Don't do it if you don't want others to know. Princess, you should understand this principle, right?"
"You are threatening me!"
Wu Lan smiled soothingly: "Don't panic, Third Princess. Only Wu Lan knows about this matter. Not even the Crown Prince knows."
"How on earth did you know that?"
"Have you forgotten? The people the monarch gave you, although they are now loyal to you, they were previously loyal to the monarch and the Ji Kingdom. Previously, they acted secretly and chose to be loyal to you between you and the eldest princess. But now is different. You are in a difficult situation. The monarch has no choice but to re-employ them. Only by cooperating can we win together."
Ji Wei gritted her teeth and said, "How dare they betray me!"
Seeing her fury, Wu Lan smiled and said, "Princess, please don't be angry. They didn't betray you. I simply used the king's token to find them and used the Wu clan's methods to make them speak. After all, we are all from the Ji Kingdom. I will not harm you, but help you instead."
Wu Lan did not say that she and the leader were cousins, so as not to make the third princess more wary of her.
"Despicable!"
Wu Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, not feeling that she was despicable or shameless.
"Third Princess, the eldest princess must have anticipated danger, so she had to tie her fate to yours to increase her chances of survival. Now that your fates are shared, you must put aside your sisterly grudges! By helping the eldest princess escape danger, you are also helping yourself."
Ji Wei did not comment, she naturally knew that Ji Mingyue could not die now.
But she blamed Ji Mingyue in the end, and she felt even more depressed when she thought of what the old queen mother said.
Why should the day she gave birth be the day Ji Mingyue died? Don’t they know that she and Ji Mingyue will live and die together?
It's obvious that he doesn't care about her!
When she thought about what happened that day, she was secretly angry at herself for being stupid and not being able to draw a clear line between herself and Ji Mingyue, and she even exposed her true colors.
Perhaps the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had long suspected that she was behind all this, and now they really felt like they were trying to survive in a crack.
"Now that I'm pregnant, Emperor Liang is kindhearted towards his children. He won't kill my sister. You don't need to save her. She should enjoy herself in prison so that she doesn't become ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."
Wu Lan was displeased and advised, "Third Princess, you owe your current wealth and glory to the eldest princess. Otherwise, like the second princess, you would have been forced to marry the leader of the Lounan tribe, living in a place where people eat raw meat and drink blood, and you wouldn't have had a good life there."
Ji Wei curled her lips and said unconvincedly, "What good life do I have? Because of my sister, I can only stay in Caiwei Palace all day long and can't even go out! The second sister deserves it. She thought she was a martial arts master, so she disguised herself as a palace maid and sneaked out of the palace. As a result, she was almost sold into a brothel. Fortunately, Prince Lounan saved her. She didn't commit suicide after losing her virginity due to Chinese medicine, but she also wanted to get married to me!"
Wu Lan disagreed, "We Wu people have always been open to trivial matters. It was just a pleasure to be together. Why would he commit suicide over it? The Second Princess is of noble status. That rude King Lounan is not worthy of her."
Ji Wei thought of the Wu people, who held a unique position in the Ji Kingdom, and said sarcastically, "Wu people? I'm not from the Wu clan, and neither is my second sister. Only the Wu Queen and her biological children are from the Wu clan. My second sister is the daughter of Concubine Wen, but she spends all day brandishing swords and guns, and assaults people at the slightest disagreement. Which noble in the Ji Kingdom would want to marry her and worship her ancestors?"
