The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Chapter 278 The Fool Prince 4

The reason why the emperor needed to look at the queen's face was because he obtained the throne entirely with the help of the Rongguo Mansion. He was not favored when the previous emperor was alive, and his knowledge and strategy were not outstanding. The only time he used his brain was to plan to marry the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, who is now the queen. The old Rongguo Duke loves his daughter and is willing to help him ascend to the throne.

In addition, the other sons of the old emperor fought fiercely, and some were killed or injured. In the end, the throne fell on his head like an Easter egg.

Even after becoming the emperor, he still had to rely on the Rongguo Mansion. Not only that, the queen's brother also had military power. This was one of the reasons why the queen was so strong in front of the emperor.

Another reason is that the queen is naturally strong-willed.

It can be said that if the original body was not born with idiocy, the throne would have been of no concern to other princes. And which prince ascended the throne was entirely determined by the queen's wishes.

As for the emperor's opinion, just listen to it for fun.

The emperor originally came to seek justice for Concubine Wen, but returned in disappointment.

The Queen leaned back on the armchair and asked the maid beside her: "Hasn't Jingyao come to the palace recently?"

The Queen was referring to Qi Jingyao, her niece, the daughter of her eldest brother, and the eldest daughter of the Duke of Rong.

Qi Jingyao's biological mother died early, and her stepmother was a sweet-looking woman with a bitter heart. The aunt and niece got along very well, so she often went to the palace to talk to the queen.

The maid shook her head.

The queen's face turned cold.

Since she hasn't come for such a long time, it means that the stepmother has found some excuse or fault to confine Qi Jingyao.

"The second young lady did send in a note, saying she wanted to come to the palace to talk to you."

The Queen chuckled, "She is really thoughtful. I haven't seen her for a long time. If she wants to come, then come."

Ji Yanli lowered his head and inserted the fruit, silently mourning for the second lady Qi Jinghua in his heart.

His mother's smile was not a kind one.

In the original world, after the Sixth Prince ascended the throne, Qi Jinghua somehow caught his eye and entered the palace to become the Queen. From then on, the attitude of the Rongguo Mansion towards the Queen became subtle.

Qi Jinghua and his second wife obviously contributed a lot to this matter.

Ji Yanli shook his head. He couldn't say that Duke Rong was confused. After all, when he had to choose between his sister and his daughter, he chose his daughter, which was understandable. So he shouldn't blame his sister for using him as a tool in the future.

Before entering the palace, Qi Jinghua went to Qi Jingyao's yard to show off.

"Some people think too highly of themselves. They always think the Empress in the palace really likes them. Look, without her, wouldn't the Empress have anyone to talk to?"

The maidservants around her echoed her: "Second Miss, with you by her side, I believe the Queen will be happier and will have already forgotten about certain people."

Qi Jingyao was quietly embroidering in the yard, unmoved by the words of the master and servant outside. She knew her family and her aunt, and would not be hurt by a few words.

The more she showed off, the less she had, and the more exaggerated Qi Jinghua acted, the more jealous she was of being able to enter the palace at any time.

"Tsk, don't go into the palace and become a target."

She snorted softly, her expression as indifferent as the queen's.

Qi Jinghua's throat was dry from talking. There was no movement in the yard. She stamped her feet and cursed in a low voice: "Boring!"

"That's how the eldest lady is. She's not as likable as you, the second lady. She might be lying on the bed crying with her hands covering her mouth right now."

The maid said quickly.

Qi Jinghua felt better, nodded, and said loudly: "Let's go! Go and dress me up. I will go to the palace to see the Queen today!"

Qi Jinghua looks nothing like Qi Jingyao, and his temperament is completely different.

Qi Jingyao was naturally calm and composed, making people feel comfortable around her. Qi Jinghua was different. Even though she tried her best to hide it, the Queen could still see the ambition in her eyes and the arrogance and disdain she showed to her servants.

"Cousin, cousin."

Qi Jinghua also smiled and saluted Ji Yanli and Ji Luoshu.

Ji Yanli ignored her and continued eating.

Ji Luoshu nodded and said in a baby voice, "No need to be so polite, second cousin."

Ji Yanli's fingers moved slightly when he heard this. He also liked his grandmother's little doll and wanted to pinch its face.

Qi Jinghua's focus was not on the two of them. She didn't care about a silly cousin and a little girl at all.

He just tried his best to please the queen, flattering her and telling jokes, and the queen covered her mouth and laughed from time to time.

Her efforts were not in vain. When she left the palace, the queen patted her hand and said, "You are completely different from your sister. You are a happy person. Come back to the palace in a couple of days to accompany your aunt."

"Yes!"

Qi Jinghua's voice was high-pitched, his eyes full of pride.

Within two days, Qi Jinghua came again.

The queen also gave her some rewards unique to the palace.

Within a month, Qi Jinghua came seven or eight times, a frequency that even Qi Jingyao had never experienced before.

Qi Jinghua was afraid that Qi Jingyao would cause trouble, so he told her mother about it. Her mother then found a reason to extend Qi Jingyao's house arrest indefinitely.

Doctor Zhen from Tianyi Valley arrived half a month ago. Under his treatment, the Sixth Prince and Concubine Yu and Concubine Wen, who were infected by him, gradually recovered.

One night, Ji Yanli woke up from a drowsy sleep and felt someone taking his pulse.

The man kept his fingers on his wrist for a long time, then he sighed deeply and left.

From then on, Ji Yanli had a bowl of bitter medicine soup to drink before his daily snacks. He refused to drink it because it was too bitter, so he had to take pills instead.

Ji Yanli swallowed the pill with sugar water.

As a result, the poison in his body became less and less severe.

This Divine Doctor Zhen from Tianyi Valley is really capable.

Ji Yanli commented in his heart.

The poison he gave himself was not difficult to cure, but that was for him. His medical skills had been honed through thousands of years, and the medical systems of various worlds allowed him to continuously improve. He also had the top medical skills from the Black Tower of the Underworld. His medical skills had reached a level that was difficult to break through, and also a level where there were few problems.

This poison is not difficult to cure, but it is very strange and rare. Most people would probably shake their heads and say it cannot be cured after taking the patient's pulse.

Not only did Dr. Zhen cure him, but he also got better day by day.

The dust in his head was cleared away bit by bit, and he felt clear-headed.

"Your Majesty..."

After taking the last pill, the queen looked at Ji Yanli expectantly.

In fact, Ji Yanli's performance every day is better than the day before.

"Mother."

Ji Yanli curled his lips into a smile, lifted his skirt and knelt on the ground.

"My mother has suffered a lot in the past few years."

The queen broke down and burst into tears in an instant.

She hugged Ji Yanli tightly and cried inconsolably.

Ji Luoshu also stretched out her short arms to hug the two of them, muttering: "Mother, Royal Brother."
