Chapter 330 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Seventy-nine)

In Li Zhong's eyes, Madam Ji was a vicious mistress who could not tolerate a concubine.

In Xiangxiu's opinion, the reason why she could not become a lady of the Ji family and was just a servant was because of the vicious woman, Madam Ji.

But in the eyes of Old Lady Ji, she was only punishing a concubine who coveted the position of the main wife, and she was scheming for adultery just to lure the man into a trap. If the concubine had not already cheated on her husband, she would not have met with a man at night and been caught by her.

The concubine was locked up and later died of complications during childbirth. She was buried in a thin coffin and disappeared from Ji's mansion.

Old Madam Ji did not feel ashamed of what happened back then.

The concubine was too ambitious and thought that she would give birth to a son, and that the Ji Mansion would belong to her son in the future. So she secretly brought the clothes stained with smallpox into Young Master Ji's room. If she had not discovered it in time, Ji Jiuyuan would have been killed.

After that she just fought back.

But when Mrs. Ji thought about the fact that this dead man was still stirring up trouble and had now harmed her daughter, she wished she could go back to the past and wipe out the root of the problem!

"If you want revenge, come after this old woman like me. If you want to kill me or chop me up, it depends on whether you have the guts to do so! Harming my daughter is nothing! My poor daughter, she wasn't even born at the time. What wrong did she do? What wrong did she do?"

Old Madam Ji beat her chest and stamped her feet, crying incessantly. In the huge house, another batch of exquisite porcelain was damaged.

"Has the person been resolved?"

"Master, don't worry. News has come from outside the palace that the matter has been settled."

"Well, things have been quite uneasy lately. You should hide first and don't take any further action. Then, you will be at my disposal."

A soft female voice and a dark male voice were heard, but soon they died down.

As night fell, the people from Ji's mansion failed to deliver the letter to the palace before the palace gate was locked. He did not dare to go back directly, so he parked the carriage under a big tree not far from the palace gate, planning to sleep in the carriage tonight and deliver the letter to the palace as soon as possible tomorrow.

The servant rubbed his hands and stamped his feet, glanced at the royal guards on duty, and unable to bear the cold outside, he hurried into the carriage, wrapped his bedding around himself, touched the letter in his clothes, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

As soon as the day broke and the palace gate opened, the servant rushed to the gate with the palace plaque. After the work was done, he hurried back with ease.

The Queen's cold has worsened today, so the concubines are exempted from paying their respects.

Ji Wei had originally planned to apologize and take care of her pregnancy, and no longer go to Kunning Palace to pay respects, but now she was thinking deeply about the Queen's actions.

Has the toxin penetrated into the heart and lungs?

Did Qiao Zhi figure out that the queen was poisonous?

Did the Queen already know she was infertile? Was she planning to adopt a prince? Would the child in her belly be given to the Queen?

Ji Wei touched the sachet at her waist, wondering if Qiao Zhi's medical skills would reveal that she was borrowing the Queen's energy. Should she stop immediately?

But what if Qiao Zhi can’t find it either?

This is a sorcery and witchcraft that was banned in the Daliang Dynasty. Even in the Ji State where witchcraft was prevalent, few people knew how to take away other people's vitality.

Her biological mother was just a maid. Without the support of her maternal family, she had always been forgotten in the palace. The Queen of Ji State at most ordered people not to let her die, but it was impossible to take care of her. She had no teacher to teach her, and only knew a few words. She had not even read the classics, and naturally she did not know the royal forbidden techniques. These were what she learned from Ji Mingyue after her death in her previous life.

Ji Mingyue's great-aunt was an old concubine. That strange woman knew some strange things and stayed indoors all year round. She didn't even see the emperor and the clan members. She only saw Ji Mingyue, the young man who pleased her.

Having sucked the queen's vitality and gained benefits, Ji Wei was reluctant to stop.

Thinking that she was not the only one who benefited and that any investigation would lead to someone else, Ji Wei felt temporarily relieved.

After all, she couldn't bear to give up Ji Shilan's natural fate!

"Princess, the Queen has caught a cold again. Could this be a sign that her constitution has weakened because we've been so ruthless in seizing her fortune?"

A maid with an ordinary face bowed.

Ji Mingyue opened her tightly closed eyes and saw tiny bugs crawling across them, but it seemed like just an illusion.
