Chapter 541: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Ninety-Two)
Ever since Cui Li and her son died in the palace, and Liang Sheng was ambushed by Wu Lan and King Huai's forces on his way back, and was seriously injured and poisoned, he now wakes up less and less, and when he wakes up he can't speak or move his hands, and can only stay in bed to rest, Ji Wei has been in a good mood.
Qiao Zhi, who was most likely to detoxify Liang Sheng, was forced to jump off a cliff by her people, and even his body was eaten by wild wolves.
Now that Liang Heng was acting as the deputies for the imperial court, mother and son were enjoying immense glory. Although Ji Wei couldn't find the imperial seal and knew Liang Sheng wouldn't pass the throne to his fake son, Liang Heng, she had the support of the Prince of Huai and some of the ministers. If Liang Sheng died in a few days, Liang Heng, as the sole heir, could ascend the throne. Seeing victory in sight, Ji Wei, despite appearing distressed, was secretly overjoyed.
But now, her good son slapped her directly and dared to kill Ping An directly! Provoking her authority!
Ping An is Ji Wei's biological son. Because she once abandoned the child and didn't care whether he lived or died, even though she knew that Ping An was not dead, Ji Wei did not dare to see her son again.
Although she felt that she had only made a decision that was more in line with her own interests, as a mother, she also understood that she was incompetent. Therefore, during the critical period of the fight for the throne, she did not even think about seeing Ping An, nor did she want to let herself be punished. She only ordered her subordinates to take good care of Ping An and not let him die.
The reason for sparing Ping An's life was, firstly, because he was his own son after all, and secondly, because the emperor only had one son, Ping An. If Liang Heng did not obey, Ji Wei could still use Liang Heng's life experience to threaten her.
Liang Heng knew that she kept Ping An to restrain him, but now he couldn't wait to get rid of her! Don't even think about it! "Among the beauties sent by Prince Huai, it seems that one of them is pregnant?"
The palace maid made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Prince Huai is trying to use the beauty trap to win over the Third Prince. Your Majesty, what do you want?"
Ji Wei hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Let's keep her for now. There's no shortage of beauties in Heng'er Palace, and none of them are simple. She may not be able to protect herself. At least, I can't get rid of her."
Ji Wei asked about the secret medicine of the witch tribe again. She wanted a medicine that could make people obedient, but the medicine that could control the mind was hard to find. The witch tribe's territory was destroyed, there were not many people who knew witchcraft, and a large amount of treasures were lost. Now the money they relied on to win over ministers and assassinate people came from Ji Mingjie's private collection, which was far from enough for their expenses.
In Ji Wei's understanding, witchcraft is inseparable from medicine, and also from Gu. Not every member of the Wu Clan knows witchcraft. Many of the Wu Clan members who stayed in the palace to help Ji Wei were those who Wu Lan had brought to the Ji Kingdom's palace to help the king resist Ji Mingjie's rebellion. They were only agile, but they didn't know how to make the Wu Clan's secret medicine. "Send a message to Wu Lan, asking her to return as soon as possible. Why bring people to the Northern Frontier at this critical moment? We will make plans after Liang Heng ascends the throne."
"Yes, I will send the message out immediately."
Ji Wei pressed her temples with a headache. If her son was born safely first, maybe the healthy one would be safe. How could she abandon him?
Although Heng'er was raised by her since he was a child, she could never tame him after all, and he will definitely turn against her in the future.
Ji Wei wanted to be reborn again, back to when she first entered the Liang Palace. She didn't understand why her path was narrowing down when she knew the future all along. Why was the current situation completely unrelated to her past life, making her feel so unfamiliar?
She thought of Liang Heng, who was secretly in close contact with Prince Huai, and wondered if it made sense for her and the Wu Clan to help him ascend to power. After all, Liang Heng's mother had died at the hands of the Wu Clan, while her son, Ping An, had died at Liang Heng's hands. Ji Wei suddenly felt a sense of absurdity, thinking back to the days over a decade ago when she had fought Ji Mingyue, Ji Shilan, and Cui Li—how cruel and boring it had been.
She even wondered why Cui Li, who died in the temporary palace, had not returned to the palace for more than ten years despite being the queen. Besides being physically weak, was she also tired of the hustle and bustle of life in the palace?
After returning to Caiwei Palace, Ji Wei and Liang Heng, the mother and son, started a new game.
But Wu Lan, whom Ji Wei was thinking about all the time, was now in shock.
She covered the wound on her chest and looked at the man and woman in front of her.
“You, you are…”

There are many final exams and papers, and the two English exams are computer-based. It’s annoying and anxious every time the final exam comes.
The world must be ending soon. I'm speechless with myself. It's taken me this long and I still can't finish it. But I have so much homework that it's hard to add more. I still have four papers to finish. I'm about to cry. I originally had a few more stories, but I feel like I keep writing more and more. I'll see later whether to finish them or continue.
