The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Chapter 123 My foster brother went to the capital instead of me

Ji Yanli said calmly, "If it were me who came to the capital, I would suggest that the Seventh Prince recuperate for a year before taking medicine. He should take medicine and practice horse stance and martial arts every day. Would Your Majesty listen?"

"The Seventh Prince is young, and he might often be exhausted from practicing martial arts. Your Majesty, will you feel distressed and think that I am deliberately using Qiao to torment the Seventh Prince?"

Concubine Shu raised her voice: "Why should this be necessary? When you treated the Prince of Yan and the Prince of Yan, didn't you just soak them in medicinal baths for a few days? In my opinion, you are nothing but a snob!"

"You must return with me now. No matter what method you use, you must restore the Seventh Prince to his former state. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

She ordered the palace servants to forcibly take Ji Yanli away. Seeing this, the eunuch in charge hurriedly ran back.

Ji Yanli did not resist. When he arrived at Concubine Shu's palace, he looked at the naughty child from his previous life lying sickly on the couch with an expressionless face, and couldn't help laughing.

The Seventh Prince had little strength, but that didn't stop him from glaring at Ji Yanli with anger: "How dare you laugh at me? You lowly person, if it weren't for you, how could I have become like this?"

Ji Yanli shook his head. "Seventh Prince, your condition has nothing to do with me. You are still young, how can you use such a strong medicine directly? The Concubine Shu should..."

He sighed, seeming to feel sorry for the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince was stunned. "What does this have to do with my mother?"

Ji Yanli: "The Fifth Prince of Concubine Chen is also still young, but Concubine Chen did not let the Fifth Prince be the first guinea pig for the medicine. It is precisely because of this period of time that..."

He suddenly covered his mouth, as if realizing he had said too much, and quickly changed the subject.

"Seventh Prince, I am here to take your pulse. You are still young. What if you can recover? We must always have some hope."

After hearing this, the Seventh Prince felt even more desperate.

As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine Shu, who had just dealt with the inattentive little palace maid who was taking care of the Seventh Prince, walked in.

Her face was grim, and she started to attack: "How is it, can my prince recover?"

Ji Yanli said, "The Seventh Prince's pulse seems weak and a little frail, but he is still young. With proper care, it may be possible for him to recover."

"Just a possibility? What I want is a 100% recovery."

Ji Yanli stopped talking. He stood quietly with his hands in his pockets, his attitude obvious.

Concubine Shu's face turned stern again. Just as she was about to open her mouth to scold, the Seventh Prince burst into tears.

In his little head, he finally sorted out what Ji Yanli had just said.

It was because of his mother. If his mother hadn't been so anxious as to make him take the pill, how could he have become like this? Fifth brother didn't take it.

It’s all my mother’s fault!

He cried with all his might, but his voice was still very small, like that of a kitten, which showed how weak he was.

Concubine Shu went forward to hug him out of pity, but he punched and kicked her. After just a few hits with her soft fists, he was exhausted and gasping for breath.

"Are you dead? Come here and show yourself to the Seventh Prince!"

Ji Yanli glanced at her, reached out and tapped the Seventh Prince casually a few times, and the Seventh Prince's breathing gradually stabilized.

Seeing that the Seventh Prince had improved significantly after just a few simple movements, Concubine Shu was overjoyed and immediately ordered, "You will stay here and take care of the Seventh Prince."

"Impossible, Madam. If you insist on forcing me, even a clay figure would still have some courage. For the Seventh Prince's condition, please seek help from someone else."

"How dare you! A mere lowly person, yet you dare to disobey me? Come on! Arrest him! Since he won't cooperate, I'll lock his hands and feet. I want to see how tough you are!"

The palace servants guarding outside and the palace maids standing in the corner immediately surrounded Ji Yanli. In their eyes, Ji Yanli was just a half-grown child. He just had better medical skills. Wouldn't it be easy to catch him?

But this kid was like a loach. Five or six people tried to catch him, but none of them managed to touch even a corner of his clothes.

Ji Yanli deliberately dodged further and further inward. Concubine Shu didn't notice it at first. She just thought that this kid was ungrateful and must be taught a lesson if caught. But slowly, as she looked at the direction Ji Yanli ran, her face changed.

"Stop him quickly!"

Without waiting for the palace servants to surround him again, Ji Yanli ran to an antique display cabinet as if in a panic.

"Catch him for me!"

"Nonsense!"

The old emperor came in from outside with his hands behind his back. When he saw the scene inside, he became furious. After scolding, he covered his lips and started coughing.

Ji Yanli also stopped. He was panting, his hand casually resting on an inconspicuous inkstone on the shelf. Under the bloodshot eyes of Concubine Shu, he curled his lips slightly and turned it casually.

"Bah."

There was a sound, not loud, but because the old emperor had arrived and the surroundings were quiet, everyone who should have heard it heard it.

Several glances came over.

Ji Yanli stood up helplessly. Behind a huge portrait behind him, a secret door slowly opened.

Shufei's face immediately turned pale, her lips trembled, and she wanted to say something, but in the end, she fell silent under the murderous gaze of the old emperor.

The old emperor looked at Concubine Shu deeply, and that look made her hair stand on end. Her legs went weak and she knelt down.

"Come here," the old emperor said in a cold voice, "go and see where this secret door leads to."

No matter where it leads to, Concubine Shu is finished.

Daring to set up secret doors and passages in the palace would, at most, be suspected of rebellion, and at most, it would also affect the reputation of the royal family.

Three guards jumped into the secret door. While they were waiting, no one in the room dared to make a sound. Even the Seventh Prince wrapped himself tightly in a blanket and kept his mouth shut.

Ji Yanli seemed to be frightened but actually he was standing there bored. He already knew where the secret door led to when he received the memory of this world. Now he was just acting along and was very bored.

Not long after, three guards came out from the secret door and knelt on the ground with cold sweat on their foreheads.

Looking at them like this, the old emperor's bad premonition deepened, and his voice became sharper because of anger.

"Tell me! Where is the other secret door?"

"Your Majesty, the other place is in Prince Qi's residence... Prince Qi's study."

"what!"

The concubine fell to the ground with a scream. The veins on the old emperor's forehead bulged. He did not stop after kicking her, but continued to step on her.

"King Qi, Second Brother, bravo, you're really great!"

The emperor had three palaces and six courtyards, and even though he was old and frail and unable to do anything, it never affected his selection of concubines.

Shufei was the second daughter of the Minister of Rites. After being selected into the palace, she was highly favored because of her beautiful appearance.

But behind the favor was her need to act on the bed to maintain the old emperor's face. Often, before she even started, the old emperor had already finished.

Over time, she became like a flower that was in full bloom on a branch but was about to wither because no one appreciated it. She was rich but empty.

Her secret affair with the King of Qi was just a coincidence.

At a palace banquet a few years ago.
