All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

Bu Ji glanced at him secretly and pouted in grievance.

"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do? I don't know the medicinal herbs."

"Not a word of truth."

Li Ji snorted coldly, turned around and grabbed the back of her neck, which was so thin and fragile that it could be easily broken.

Don’t know about medicinal herbs?

Why did he remember that Bu Ji had studied medicine under a master when she was a child? The immortal even wanted to "kidnap" her to the mountain, but Censor Bu refused to agree no matter what.

How could a person who is born with a genius and studies medicine not know white peony root and Ophiopogon japonicus? No one would believe her if she said so.

Bu Ji shuddered. How could she understand these ambiguous words? She was confused, but seeing that Li Ji was angry, she did not dare to ask him.

Her neck was stiff, but she then carefully stretched it out, allowing the emperor's hot palm to rub her neck vigorously.

The hair on the edge was ruffled by the rubbing, and the white jade skin turned red, but Li Ji was like a possessed man, and just kept rubbing like this. The threat in his tone faded a lot, and was even mixed with some passion.

Li Ji licked it unconsciously.

"Does it still hurt?"

Bu Ji hummed in grievance and rubbed his head against his palm.

She didn't know that she looked like a pretty little fox who had made a mistake.

Just seeing her can make people forgive everything.

"I only have one Ningxiang Pill."

Li Ji lowered his eyes and looked at her. The big hand that was rubbing the back of her neck moved up to her face and pinched it gently.

There was only one Ningxiang Pill, implying that if she wasn't careful again, he wouldn't be able to save her even if he wanted to.

Bu Ji raised her big watery eyes and stared at him. There were red marks on her cheek from her fingertips. It didn't hurt but was very obvious.

She seemed to understand why Li Ji said that.

He felt sorry that such a good elixir was given to such a stupid concubine like her.

But being murdered twice in a row was not something she could have anticipated. Who would have thought that even after she had finally managed to save her life, someone would still attack her.

It's too hasty.

Apart from Cui Lihua, she couldn't think of anyone else.

Although the Queen Mother was not on good terms with her, she always interrogated her openly. This kind of secretly changing people's medicine was not something that the Queen Mother would do.

As expected, Wang Huai brought Li'er and Yanzhi in, and the emperor interrogated them personally. Li'er blurted out the words "Imperial Concubine".

This was what Bu Ji thought. She turned her head to look at Li Ji, as if waiting for him to say something.

It is true that Cui Lihua is his favorite concubine, but he cannot take human life lightly.

Li Ji sat on the edge of the bed with a cold face. He moved his cheeks and threw the relic beads in his hand away.

Yanzhi looked at Li'er in confusion and added.

"The maid who brought the medicine clearly said she was from the Imperial Hospital. Could it be that the Imperial Concubine was colluding with the Imperial Physician?"

This is a big no-no.

Ministers and concubines in the harem are absolutely not allowed to conspire or collude. From the prime minister of the previous dynasty to the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau and local officials, if they are discovered, they will all be beheaded.

"Wang Huai."

Li Ji glanced at Yanzhi who was kneeling on the ground and shouted in a deep voice.

Wang Huai came out from behind the screen with a whisk in his hand, bowed slightly and responded respectfully.

"Your Majesty, this servant is here."

Li Ji waved his hand and issued an order.

"Go and bring Cui here. I want to interrogate her personally."

Wang Huai walked out quickly and called the brothers Fu Hai and Fujiang in a low voice. After leaving the Yikun Palace, he called four guards with swords. The momentum was so huge that it was even more frightening than the group of people from the Ministry of Punishment.

Bu Ji nestled in Li Ji's arms, and the two of them stared at each other. All she could think about was whether the letter had been delivered to Master Jingyun.

Li Ji noticed that she was always in a daze, and thought that she had just recovered from a serious illness and had no way to cheer up, so he didn't bother her, but gently hugged her.

Soon, there was a commotion outside the Yikun Palace, along with the sound of noisy and chaotic footsteps and Cui Lihua's arrogant voice that came closer and closer.

"Let me go!"

"I am the imperial concubine, how dare you hold me captive?"

"Let me go. You are committing treason. I will punish you severely."

......

Wang Huai had no intention of paying attention to her. He was working for the emperor, so he didn't have to listen to other people's words or respond to every word.

He lifted the beaded curtain and stepped forward first.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is here."

Before Li Ji could say anything, Bu Ji stood up first, sat obediently, and deliberately kept a distance from the emperor.

She was really afraid of irritating Cui Lihua and letting Cui Lihua eat her alive.

Li Ji's hands were empty and his face turned dark.

"Your Majesty, I am warmed by your hug."

Bu Ji still looked at her expression and explained in a delicate voice.

Li Ji responded lightly, yes, she had not yet recovered from her cold and was prone to fever.

Cui Lihua was escorted in by two guards with swords. When she saw the emperor and Bu Ji being so close, her face turned pale instantly and she glared at Bu Ji fiercely.

But when she looked at Li Ji, her eyes softened again and she knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, you must severely punish these people. They actually dared to hold me hostage."

Li Ji said calmly with a serious face.

"I asked them to bring you here."

"Do you know what you did wrong?"

Bu Ji looked at the two of them quietly. She really didn't believe that Li Ji would kill Cui Lihua. After all, she was his favored concubine for such a long time and they had deep feelings for each other.

The last time Cui Lihua instigated the Queen Mother to poison her, wasn’t she only confined to her house?

The emperor would never really punish her. At most, he would give her a small punishment for the sake of so-called harem harmony and complicated palace rules.

Cui Lihua shook her head, crawled to Li Ji's feet, grabbed the hem of his dragon robe with both hands, and cried.

"I don't know."

"I have done nothing."

There were tears in her eyes, and her pitiful look was touching.

Such a beautiful and graceful young woman doesn't look like someone who would do anything to harm someone's life.

As she spoke, she glanced at the emperor, and when she finished speaking, she naturally lowered her eyes. Her shy look and the two tear marks on her cheeks complemented each other, making her look like a wronged victim.

Bu Ji looked at her like this and smacked his lips silently, thinking that if he were an emperor, he would also like such a woman, with seductive eyes and affectionate looks, who would even carefully apply rouge when begging for mercy after committing a crime.

She cried like a mermaid who had just swam ashore from the bottom of the sea, her tears were still pink and glowing.

Li'er was standing aside, getting anxious first, and said sincerely.

"Your Majesty, I heard with my own ears and saw with my own eyes that these white peony and ophiopogon were sent by Qiu Sheng from the Yanxi Palace."

"I felt something was fishy at the time and didn't want to give it to the young lady. I didn't expect Yanzhi to be so stupid and almost killed the young lady."

When Yanzhi heard Li'er say this, her shoulders started shaking and she looked at Bu Ji crying.

"My lord, please forgive me. I know nothing."
