Chapter 263: The Queen Mother's Thoughts
Princess Xinyi responded, "The last time I took you to see the prince, I was reprimanded by the queen mother, and I didn't dare to go over again, but I heard that the prince's brother's illness seems to have improved." β
Ji Ruhuan listened to Princess Xinyi's words, and said in her heart, it seems that the detoxification pills she gave should have played a certain role.
However, Ji Ruhuan thought of the words of the Nine Emperor Uncles, and was slightly worried in her heart, she always felt that the poison on the prince's body was inseparable from the queen.
But how could this queen poison her son, and if the prince died, what good could she do?
If it is really the queen, seeing that the prince's condition is not under her control, will there be other actions?
Thinking like this, Ji Ruhuan regretted it a little, he shouldn't have given the prince a bottle of antidote pill for the time being, if it was exposed, it would be a startle.
She felt that it was better to see the prince again and remind him of one or two.
Ji Ruhuan looked at Princess Xinyi in front of her, "Why don't we go and visit the prince again?"
Princess Xinyi looked at Ji Ruhuan speechlessly, "Come on, take you over again, not only will I not be able to see the prince's brother, but I'm afraid that I will also be grounded by the queen mother, and you won't be able to see me if you want to see me in the future." β
Ji Ruhuan sighed, "Forget it." β
She can only think of another way, why don't she stay today and go to explore it at night, anyway, this East Palace is empty, and everyone doesn't look at the prince of the East Palace, and the East Palace at night should not be too strictly defended.
Ji Ruhuan mentioned to Princess Xinyi that she would stay with her and leave the palace tomorrow, and Princess Xinyi was of course very happy.
Only in the afternoon of the same day, the Queen Mother sent someone over and summoned her to Fushou Palace to meet her.
Princess Xinyi frowned tightly and looked at Ji Ruhuan on the side, "Why do you summon you every time you enter the palace." β
Ji Ruhuan patted Princess Xinyi's hand comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'll be back in a while." β
Princess Xinyi thought that Ji Ruhuan would come back every time she went, but she didn't worry too much and told her to be careful.
was taken to Fushou Palace, Ji Ruhuan gave the first queen mother a salute, and the queen mother asked, "Do you have the handle of the collusion between the four princes and the national teacher?"
Ji Ruhuan was stunned, and said in her heart, as her father said, the Queen Mother and her party were looking for evidence of the collusion between the four princes and the national teacher, and wanted to take the opportunity to catch them all.
Ji Ruhuan opened his mouth and responded, "When this national teacher appeared, my father and I were not in Kyoto, how could there be evidence of their collusion." β
The Queen Mother didn't question it, and directly changed the topic, "I heard that it was the closed disciple of the old man of Tianji who proposed marriage to you?"
This matter was basically known to everyone in Kyoto, and she had no need to deny it, so she nodded, "Exactly." β
The Queen Mother sneered, "I didn't see that your Ji family still has this means, and you actually have a relationship with the old man of Tianji." β
Ji Ruhuan's head drooped slightly, and when she heard the Queen Mother's tone, she frowned slightly, and said lightly, "The Queen Mother is falsely praised, my father just thinks that I have always been squeamish, and I will find an ordinary family affair for me, and he will treat me well in the future, I don't want to be a disciple of the old man Tianji." β
The Queen Mother thought about the news she inquired about, and she felt that she couldn't do it, she was obviously a good-looking, unknown and nameless boy before, how could she become a closed disciple of the old man of Tianji?
It was still the old man of Tianji who came to the door to propose marriage, which can be regarded as earning enough face for the Zhenguo Mansion.
Looking at Ji Ruhuan at this time, the Queen Mother felt that it was an eyesore, thinking that she would never have anything to do with them Yue Xuan anymore, so she didn't bother to bother with her, and waved her hand impatiently, "Stand down." β
Ji Ruhuan didn't rush to leave, but said, "Ruhuan wants to remind the Queen Mother a few words, don't rush for quick success, you can't become a big fat man by eating one bite, but don't beat chickens and eggs when the time comes, and stealing chickens won't make rice." β
The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed slightly and looked at Ji Ruhuan, "What do you mean by this?"
Ji Ruhuan pursed her lips and said, "The Queen Mother should understand, Ruhuan will not disturb the Queen Mother, and retire first." β
After speaking, Ji Ruhuan saluted, turned around and left, but the Queen Mother did not stop her, just looked at Ji Ruhuan's back, thoughtful.
On the way back to Yiran Palace, Ji Ruhuan saw a little eunuch coming towards them from a distance, looking a little familiar, and when he approached Ji Ruhuan, he recognized it, this is the little apprentice of Father-in-law Heshun.
Ji Ruhuan was thinking about finding an opportunity to meet Father-in-law Heshun and ask her about the situation in the Palace of Eternal Life, but she didn't expect that Father-in-law Heshun had already sent someone over.
Ji Ruhuan thought that this little eunuch was sent by Father-in-law Heshun to pick her up, but she didn't want the little eunuch to come over, but she didn't mean to stay, she only bowed down to her and said goodbye, so she planned to leave by mistake.
Ji Ruhuan frowned slightly, and was about to stop him, when he saw him fall to his side inexplicably.
Ji Ruhuan reflexively stretched out her hand to support the little eunuch, and felt that there was something more in her hand.
Ji Ruhuan silently hid the thing in the palm of her hand, held the eunuch steady, and said, "Reckless, I don't know how to be careful." β
The eunuch knelt down in fright to ask for guilt, and the leading eunuch beside Ji Ruhuan was about to reprimand, so Ji Ruhuan said, "Forget it, he is also unintentional, let's go, the princess is still waiting for me." β
This little episode didn't attract much attention, Ji Ruhuan hid his hand in his sleeve, and the things in his hand did not show a trace.
It wasn't until the princess's Yiran Palace that Ji Ruhuan asked Princess Xinyi to send everyone back before she took out the things in her sleeves.
Princess Xinyi came up and asked curiously, "What is your mysterious and mysterious nature?"
Seeing the note in Ji Ruhuan's hand, he said teasingly, "It won't be your fiancΓ© who wrote it to you, right?"
While talking, he leaned towards Ji Ruhuan, wanting to take the opportunity to see what was written on this note, but Ji Ruhuan collected it in time and threw it into the incense burner on the side.
Seeing that it was burning, he turned his head to look at Princess Xinyi, who was speechless on the side, and said, "If you want to see it, you can quickly recruit a colt and let your colt write it for you." β
didn't look at the content of the note, Princess Xinyi snorted dissatisfiedly, and responded, "I'm not as greasy as you, people don't forget to write love letters in the palace, don't you reply to him?"
Ji Ruhuan pursed her lips and shook her head, "I must have been afraid that I would be bullied by you when I entered the palace, so I wrote to me worriedly." β
Princess Xinyi rushed towards Ji Ruhuan and began to tickle her, and said as she spoke, "Then if I don't bully you, I'm really sorry for your future husband's letter." β
The two of them had a fight, and soon forgot about the letter.
However, in the evening, Ji Ruhuan really wrote a letter to the Nine Emperor Uncles, of course, she didn't let the princess see it, and asked Xiaohua to send it out in person, and by the way, she told the family that she stayed with Princess Xinyi tonight and didn't go back.
