The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Chapter 328 After Revenge, You Fall in Love with Him Again? 13

The old emperor's body has been hollowed out by alcohol and sex. His sallow face has thick bags under his eyes. At this moment, he is not reviewing memorials, but listening to music with his eyes closed.

Looking closely, the young eunuch kneeling next to him had delicate skin, delicate features, and ambiguous pinch marks on his face.

Ji Xiner felt very uncomfortable, but she still had to move forward with a stiff smile.

"emperor."

She spoke softly and reached out to rub the old emperor's shoulders. The old emperor took her hand and kissed her.

"Your second brother is also in the triumphant team this time. He is young and has a promising future. What official position should I give him?"

“It’s better not to seal anything.”

Ji Xiner said with a pout.

The old emperor opened his eyes and looked at her in surprise: "Oh? Concubine Wen has a bad relationship with your second brother?"

"No," Ji Xin'er said bluntly: "Second brother didn't even tell me he was going to the border town. What does his triumphant return have to do with me?"

Then she hugged the old emperor's arm and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, please give him some time. It's not that you won't confer the title, it's just a matter of time."

If it were anyone else, no one would listen to Ji Xiner's nonsense. The enthronement of the court's meritorious officials could not be postponed just by her saying so.

But the old emperor was old and incompetent, yet he still agreed.

"Your father died of a serious illness due to his lust for beauty, and your eldest brother died in battle because of his greed for merit. Fortunately, your second brother is a promising man. If he inherits the Duke's Mansion, although his title will be reduced, he will at least be able to support the family."

"But young man, it's not good to stand too high all of a sudden. I'll just listen to you and leave him alone."

Ji Yanli looked at the two bodies entangled in the mirror and frowned in annoyance.

Recently, this kind of scene would appear from time to time in the mirror, the ones between Ji Xiner and the old emperor, Ji Xiner and King Cheng, and the ones between Ji Xiner and King Cheng who were conspiring. For example, they would suppress his enthronement first to make him feel scared, and then Ji Xiner would take the opportunity to tell him that the old emperor did not like him and did not want to enthrone him.

He secretly advised him to surrender to King Cheng and ask King Cheng to help him.

When the old emperor rewards him again, he will think that it is King Cheng who is helping him, and will be grateful to King Cheng and be loyal to him from then on.

Ji Yanli was disdainful.

He is really trying to get something for nothing. He wants to recruit others but is unwilling to give anything in return. It is all a shameful calculation.

Prince Rong has begun to handle some official business for the old emperor. Prince Cheng has indeed become anxious. He urgently needs to find some strong supporters, such as Ji Yanli, who holds military power, or the Taifu, who has an extraordinary status.

While he was secretly having an affair with Ji Xin'er, he also met the granddaughter of the Taifu and wanted to marry her as his principal wife.

Once, when the granddaughter of the Taifu went to the temple to burn incense and pray for marriage, he followed her secretly, and ended up running into the Taifu who was full of anger.

The Grand Tutor pointed at him and said a lot of unpleasant things without any politeness. Although it ended with the granddaughter not being worthy of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, Prince Cheng was still devastated and shut himself off for two whole days before he recovered.

The Grand Tutor is different from the Duke of Zhenguo, a good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. He has made his words very clear. If Prince Cheng continues to pester him, he will really offend the Grand Tutor.

He could only give up.

Prince Rong began to close the net when the army returned to the capital. Ji Yanli was fighting outside to defend his country. He couldn't let the meritorious soldiers come back and have to face all those messy things and despicable people.

At nightfall, the old emperor's cloudy eyes swept across the hundreds of jade tablets of the imperial concubines. He waved his hand impatiently, "Go to Lady Yao."

The chief eunuch bowed and apologized: "Your Majesty, Lady Yao has been unwell, so I have specifically ordered that her nameplate be removed for the past few days."

"However, Concubine Wen is now well enough to serve you in bed."

The old emperor nodded in agreement: "Then let her be."

The chief eunuch took the jade token, smiled inconspicuously, and then cautiously stepped forward to support her: "Oh, Your Majesty, please slow down. Someone has already gone ahead to inform Concubine Wen."

When we arrived at Xinlan Palace, it was quiet outside and there was no sign of any palace maids or eunuchs on night watch.

The old emperor frowned, and the chief eunuch laughed: "Empress Wen has always been very creative. I wonder what she has prepared to please the emperor."

This is true.

There were countless beauties in his harem, and many of them were forgotten after serving him in bed only once. However, Concubine Wen was able to climb out of the mud pit of being despised, and her favor has continued in the past two years. In addition to her increasingly beautiful face, she also used those novel and seductive methods.

The emperor stepped in. The lights in the inner room were on and Concubine Wen's laughter could be heard. The old emperor raised his eyebrows, became interested, and walked in.

The chief eunuch tactfully led his men to guard outside the door.

"Hahaha, it's so itchy."

Ji Xin'er pressed down the big hand that was constantly stirring on her chest, and said delicately: "You've been coming here for three days in a row, and you don't feel bored at all."

"How could that be?" King Cheng's voice was somewhat muffled. "They say a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover. How can it be as exciting elsewhere as it is here with you?"

When Ji Xiner heard this, the smile on her face faded and bitterness welled up in her heart.

So is this why he didn't love her in his previous life?

Because she was a wife who was married off in a formal ceremony and kept at home, she was not as novel as those other women outside, nor could she compare to his beloved cousin.

Her interest suddenly dropped.

She would only be unwell for three days each time, but she would always wait a few more days before removing the sign, just so that this man could come and keep her company.

At this point, the grudges of the previous life seemed less important. The old emperor was very old, and every time she was with her, she had to suppress her old age and cater to him. She was obviously at the age of a delicate flower, but she could only be entangled with an old man in his twilight years.

If she had known that her health would improve, she would not have had to take the risk of entering the palace.

Ji Xiner felt a little resentful towards her mother. If the panacea had been found out earlier, everything would have been different.

And her father died even earlier than in her previous life, and her eldest brother was so useless. Her second brother was able to make great contributions, but he was beheaded.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion fell into decline early, fortunately my second brother worked hard to make it better, otherwise, even the emperor would have taken back the title.

Ji Xin'er pouted: "I schemed against my second brother for you, you can't let me down, later... Anyway, I don't want to leave the palace."

"No, no, how can I bear to let you leave the palace? I will keep you in the palace and make you my personal concubine."

King Cheng agreed without hesitation.

Ji Xiner cooperated with him in undressing, then put her arms around his neck. As the two of them were moving, the person on her body suddenly groaned and stopped moving.

Ji Xiner slapped his face in dissatisfaction.

"What are you doing? You're distracted at a time like this."

She slapped King Cheng's face aside, revealing the gloomy emperor holding a knife behind him.

"what!!!"

Ji Xin'er screamed in fright, pushed away King Cheng who was pressing on her, and wrapped herself in the quilt.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty——"
