Chapter 327 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Seventy-Six)
No one knew that the late emperor did not force the decree to tie her fate to Liang Sheng's.
When she burned incense and worshipped Buddha at Dajue Temple, she drew a very good fortune. Although the abbot did not interpret the fortune for her, she was still very happy.
When she was touring around alone, she unexpectedly ran into the late emperor in the pavilion on the back mountain, who was holding a fortune stick and frowning in deep thought. For some reason, she caught the late emperor's eye.
The late emperor asked her if she would marry the War Prince, and she happily nodded. Who wouldn't admire the War Prince, who was both civil and military? Influenced by her father and brother, she especially admired generals who led troops in battle.
The late emperor stared at her for a few seconds with his sharp eyes that could see through people's hearts, his expression unfathomable. When she was feeling very uneasy, he laughed loudly and left first.
When she calmed down, she felt that the late emperor was just speaking casually. Who didn't know that the designated Princess Zhan was Cui Li, the niece of Empress Dowager Cui?
When she returned home, she told her mother, but her mother told her to wait until she became the future queen. She asked about it out of curiosity, but her mother just smiled and said nothing.
Less than a month later, the War King returned, and the late emperor indeed issued an edict, and she actually became the Crown Princess.
But even after becoming the Crown Princess, she couldn't warm Liang Sheng's heart. This man had feelings for Cui Li, and she thought everything would be fine once Cui Li got married. She had even heard that Cui Li was looking for someone else, but when the late emperor passed away and the Crown Prince ascended the throne, Cui Li was welcomed into the palace by the Emperor right after the mourning period was over.
Ji Shilan couldn't help but think that if she hadn't married Liang Sheng, she wouldn't have been poisoned.
Who administered the Liang Palace's uniquely poisonous poison that pierced the heart?
Could it be the woman she thought was at the top?
If it wasn't her, who else could have harmed her?
Empress Ji: "I see. I really want to thank you for your kindness."
Liang Sheng saw that she was feeling a little uncomfortable and was in a daze for a while, so he spoke.
Liang Sheng: "You should go back first. You also need to rest well. There is an antidote to your heartache, so don't worry. I will have people pay more attention to the movements of Kunning Palace, and you should also be careful of the people around you."
Liang Sheng: "Now the Ji and Qi countries are eyeing us covetously, and Daliang is full of spies from both countries. Although I cleaned it up once last time, there will always be fish that slip through the net in the Liang Palace. Now is a troubled time, and Qi is about to fall into chaos. We must be careful to prevent them from taking desperate measures and avoid being impulsive."
Is Qi about to fall into chaos? Why?
Ji Shilan wanted to ask in detail, but she felt that since she was in the harem, it didn't matter whether she knew or not, so she bowed and prepared to leave.
Empress Ji: "Yes, I will take my leave first. Your Majesty will have to take care of Sister Cui."
Li Yuan was pacing in the side room, feeling anxious.
"It's over, it's over! Now that I know the palace secrets, my life is over!"
Qiao Zhi looked at the sad-looking old man and chuckled.
Qiao Zhi: "Director, you have been in the palace for more than thirty years, from a small medical attendant to the director of the Imperial Hospital. You have seen everything. Are you so scared?"
Li Yuanzheng stroked his beard and snorted. "Thirty years, so what? Who doesn't fear death?" He'd been able to stay this long because he was observant, never getting involved when he shouldn't, and never making rash promises. He played dumb, only then could he live longer.
"You've killed me! If you wanted to report this to the Emperor, why not tell him quietly? You've got to drag me into this! You have no good intentions! Tell me, how much have you told the Empress? Besides the piercing poison, what else does she know?"
Qiao Zhi: "What did you see, Director? Tell me, I will corroborate your judgment."
Li Yuanzheng looked up at Qiao Zhi, who was still smiling. What's wrong with this young man? Is he really not afraid of death?
"Don't tell me you didn't see it! Your medical skills are obviously better than mine."
The old man bitterly admitted that this miraculous doctor was better than him.
Qiao Zhi: "Oh, I like what you said, Li Yuanzheng. Don't worry, the Queen only knows that she has been struck by a heartache."
"That's good, that's good. The heart-piercing poison is certainly difficult to cure, but I believe I can cure it. If the Queen knew she was infertile, she would be devastated!"
