Chapter 263 Forgiveness
Ji Liunian asked Weiyang to investigate. Weiyang went with Weibai and found out the context of the matter in a few days. The interested imperial doctor provided all the truth.
"Sure enough, it's the same as I said. Call the queen for me." Ji Liunian said to Weiyang.
Li Jiyi didn't know what had happened. He thought that Ji Liunian called her here to ask for her opinion and deal with Ai Jieyu. I didn't expect that my evil deeds had been exposed.
"Why are you here?" When Li Jiji saw the imperial doctor, his heart trembled and he was very scared.
"Queen, please plead with the empress dowager. Everything has been exposed." The doctor cried.
Li Weiqi's heart thumped, and he was very afraid. He quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Empress dowager, I didn't mean it. It was Mother Li who instigated me to do this. The imperial doctor can testify that it was all instigated by Mother Li." Li Weiyu put all the responsibility on Mother Li, but she didn't expect that Weiyang also pushed out the tied Mother Li.
"It's all you. If you hadn't instigated me, I wouldn't have done this. It's all your fault." Li Weiyu went over and hit Mother Li in the face. Weiyang quickly pulled her away.
"A slap can't be heard. If you don't mean that, Mother Li just said that you wouldn't do it."
Mother Li also cried.
"Queen, you can't fall into the well. I'm just giving advice for you. It's all because you let me harm Ai Jieyu. Empress Dowager, please find out that I just listen to the master's wishes and never hurt Ai Jieyu. Mother Li kowtowed to Ji Liunian.
"Is she falling into the well or you falling into the pit? The queen's nature is not bad. If she can do such a thing, she must have been instigated by a slave like you who is full of right and wrong. You think I don't know. Ji Liunian roared at Mother Li. Mother Li suddenly couldn't say a word.
The queen is very grateful for what Ji Liunian said.
"It's all that I was confused for a while. It was all that I was confused for a while and listened to the words of the traitor to do such a vicious thing. Next time I will never do such a thing again."
"Drag this slave to prison and don't come out without my order. As for this imperial doctor, if you forget your righteousness, you should also be punished. Go out and never accept people like you here. Queen, what kind of punishment do you want?" Ji Liunian stared at Li Wei, and Li Wei's whole body trembled.
"I... Please show mercy and don't publicize the matter. As for the physical punishment, I can accept it."
"Then I will make you hungry in Luanfeng Hall for three days and let you remember this lesson." Ji Liunian ordered her to retreat.
"Miss, is the punishment of starving for three days too heavy? This queen comes from a famous family and has not suffered much. What if she is starving her out of illness? Wei Yang said with a smile.
"I don't think it's enough. Don't worry, she can't starve to death in three days. It's not a big deal if she faints. If the punishment is not heavier, she can't remember it. This hateful Mother Li really wants to kill her. But Cheng Zun is seriously ill now, and I don't want to kill him. Otherwise, these little ghosts will come back to pester people.
After the queen went back, a group of guards came in, blocked the Luanfeng Hall and surrounded her bedroom.
"Do you want to start now? I'm also going to have a big meal, starting tomorrow. Now that my stomach is empty, how can I stand it for three days? The queen was worried.
"They have come. Maybe that's what they mean. Let's help the maiden ask."
The maid ran out and came back soon.
"Empress, they said they would start tomorrow, but they can't eat tonight."
The queen pounced on ** and burst into tears.
"I didn't expect that I was the mother of a country now, and I would still fall to such a point. I was confused for a while. And this season's Empress Dowager, isn't it obviously difficult for me?!" Li Wei's gratitude for Ji Liunian turned into resentment.
"If only the Empress Dowager could die this season." The maid casually said, not maliciously, but just following Li Wei's thoughts.
"She died? She is not 50 years old now. She looks so young that it will take at least 20 years to be grounded. Twenty years is too long. If only I could lie down like a dead person. No... Why did I become so vicious? It's not me. Go out and don't talk to me." Li Ji felt more and more that she had been controlled by hatred, not herself.
When Ai Jieyu heard about Ji Liunian's treatment of the queen, she was very happy. Her grievances had finally been cleared, and others would not look at her with strange eyes. But the queen was still there, and the queen was uncomfortable in her heart. Ai Jieyu could clearly feel the queen's jealousy for herself.
"Xixi, I want to leave this palace. I don't know what I can do." Ai Jieyu said to Cheng Qian.
"This... Didn't my mother help you wash away your grievances now? Why do you still want to leave? Are we not good enough for you? Chengxi is puzzled.
"No...No, you are very kind to me, but I don't like the queen, because I know she doesn't like me either, and I feel uncomfortable. But in this palace, it is inevitable to meet her. Do you know how I feel?
"I know your mood, but now you are Jieyu. If you leave, what will you do?" Chengxi took Ai Jieyu's hand.
"For a long time, he will forget me. After all, I'm not from here. Let's go to my original place." Ai Jieyu burst into tears.
"Have you told your brother?"
"If I told him, he would definitely not want to. At that time, it will be difficult for me to sneak away. I only told you.
"If you leave, my brother will definitely not let me go. If we are so good, he will definitely doubt me and say that I deliberately took you out. Do you want to go or walk openly? When we came, we also walked in openly.
"I'm really anxious to talk to you. I wish I could go out openly. Now what else can I do?" Ai Jieyu asked angrily.
"You'd better not leave and stay here. I'm afraid of what she will do. To put it better, she is the queen. To put it worse, she is just a person promoted by my mother. If she doesn't agree, she can pull her down at any time. Don't worry, you won't be bullied with us.
"Do you think I'm afraid of her? In terms of kung fu, I can kick her to death. I have been walking alone for so many years, and no one has ever scared me and let me give in. But I don't like others to look at me with strange eyes and deal with me with sinister tricks. I'm a dignified person, not a fox, and I don't deliberately climb the royal family.
"I know what you mean. You are an extremely self-respecting person. But you have to think about my brother. My brother likes you so much and is so kind to you. If you leave, won't he be bored? I don't want to see my brother become like this. If I had known this would have happened, I wouldn't have brought you in. I didn't expect it to be in this situation.
"Then I'll tell the emperor that this is a matter between the two of us." Ai Jieyu sighed.
She saw Cheng Min outside the window. Cheng Min was looking at something attentively. She looked so serious, which made Ai Jieyu reluctant.
"Your Majesty..." Ai Jieyu called gently, and Cheng Min turned around.
"You finally come to see me. Sit here and I'll pour water for you." Cheng Min called all the servants out, and there were only two of them here.
"That matter has been clarified, and I almost misunderstood you. I'm sorry to make you feel wronged." Cheng Min took Ai Jieyu's hand and stroked it for a while.
"Your Majesty, I know your feelings for me very well, but I'm not from here after all. Can you put me in the same place?" Ai Jieyu knelt down.
"Do you still want to leave?" Cheng Min is very sad.
"I don't want to stay here. This kind of life is not suitable for me. I still like a free wandering life."
"You are so strange. You are different from others. What should I do if you leave? Cheng Min looked at Ai Jieyu.
"Please forget me when I die of illness. As long as you think of me occasionally, it is a comfort. I will miss you, too."
