Chapter 335: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Eighty-Four)

When Ji Mingyue came out of the room, her maid anxiously whispered a few words in her ear, which made her look angry.

"Is Consort Cui pregnant and is she being promoted to Imperial Consort? Ji Wei is being promoted to Consort Ji? Consort Cui's promotion to Imperial Consort can be considered a favor from His Majesty. How can a bastard princess who is not presentable and illiterate be worthy of being promoted to Consort? A mother's status is determined by her son, what a mother's status is determined by her son!"

Ji Mingyue lost control of her expression and pushed over the orchid bonsai under the eaves. Dirty mud and broken porcelain pieces splattered everywhere, instantly making her crimson pink skirt dirty.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! I accidentally broke the bonsai. I'll have someone replace it with a new one."

The palace maid quickly knelt on the ground and took the responsibility for the broken bonsai. After getting Ji Mingyue's permission, she quickly had someone clean it up.

Ji Mingyue looked outside the palace wall, her gaze seemed to have drifted far away, and she saw the witch aunt who always had a serious expression. Her determined gaze inspired Ji Mingyue and made her regain her composure.

It's just a temporary low point. The one who laughs last is the winner.

Emperor Liang is young and strong, and he may live for another thirty or fifty years. Ji Wei can laugh now, but maybe she will cry heartbreakingly in the future.

After a long time, Ji Mingyue went into the house to change clothes.

It doesn't matter if she is under house arrest, she doesn't want to go and congratulate that person on being crowned as a princess anyway.

Inside Kunning Palace.

When Xiangxiu walked in with tea, she saw the queen sitting in a chair in a daze.

"My lady, I have just made some calming tea. Please try it. If you like it, I will make more."

Ji Shilan waved her hand, signaling Xiangxiu to put down the tea, as she didn't want to drink it now.

Queen Ji: "Do you know why the Emperor came to see me?"

Xiangxiu looked at the queen in confusion.

Ji Shilan suppressed the anger and bitterness in her heart and answered after a long time.

Empress Ji: "Noble Consort Cui is over three months pregnant. The palace will soon have a new Imperial Noble Consort and a new Imperial Consort. Within two years, there will be two princes and princesses calling me mother. The funny thing is, I will never have my own..."

Ji Shilan was unable to finish her words in the end.

She gestured to Xiangxiu to tidy up the desk.

Xiangxiu really wanted to ask what the queen had not said yet, and wanted to know what the queen knew.

But in the end, she just respectfully put away the phoenix seal, and then arranged the pen, ink, paper and inkstone neatly. Her hand holding the inkstone paused, and she saw the two words "Li Zhong" remaining on the burnt letter.

What happened to Zhongbo?

How did the Queen know about Uncle Zhong? Did the Ji family spread the news? Was Uncle Zhong's identity revealed? What happened to Uncle Zhong? Could he have already...

What about her? Did the Queen know her identity?

Xiangxiu had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she didn't dare to stay for long. She tidied up her desk and left.

She walked quickly towards the back door of Kunning Palace with a dizzy head. She saw the eunuch guarding the back door from a distance. Then she came to her senses and quietly retreated while the eunuch didn't notice her.

She was so confused that she couldn't go find that person now.

When she came to her senses, she observed the situation in Kunning Palace more carefully. Perhaps because she felt guilty or was too cautious, she always felt that she was being watched and that she would be arrested by the Queen at the next moment, so she dared not act rashly.

When it was time to rest at night, Xiangxiu got information from the other three palace maids and learned that they had all been ordered by the Queen to tidy up their desks. Cold sweat had soaked her back.

She was glad that she did not act rashly, but she did not know that her attempt to trick the queen had been reported to her by an inconspicuous palace maid.

Ever since the Queen was poisoned, the Emperor secretly arranged secret guards in Kunning Palace. Some of them looked like ordinary palace maids and eunuchs, but in fact they had been replaced by secret guards wearing human skin masks.

The four palace maids around the queen were under close surveillance.

Ji Shilan waved away the little palace maid, really confused, why is it Xiangxiu? How could it be Xiangxiu!

At this moment, she had never thought about the concubine and the concubine's child that Ji's mother had told her about.

She just thinks Xiangxiu is blinded by greed and betrays her master for fame and fortune. Isn't what she has given Xiangxiu enough?

She even handed over the palace affairs to Xiangxiu for management, which was extremely glorious. On weekdays, the eunuchs and palace maids had to show their respect to Xiangxiu. The lives of those nobles and selected concubines were not as good as Xiangxiu's!

Finally, Ji Shilan was shocked when she learned that Xiangxiu, who had served her for more than ten years, was actually her biological sister.
