The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Chapter 124 My foster brother went to the capital instead of me

At the palace banquet, the drunken King of Qi bumped into her as she hurried out of the palace to change her clothes because her dress was soiled. One was young and strong, from a noble family, while the other had a beautiful face that had been dry for a long time. In the hazy night, even the wind carried an ambiguous and shy feeling.

The two of them were passionately attracted to each other, and the palace banquet was going on, so no one would pay attention to what was happening in a remote place.

After everything was over, the two of them straightened their clothes and pretended nothing had happened. They returned to the palace banquet one after the other. The occasional eye contact made people blush and their hearts beat faster.

Concubine Shu only regarded this as a fleeting encounter. Even if there was no future, this experience was enough for her to pass the boring days in the harem.

She had never expected that the King of Qi would open a secret passage leading to her bedroom. Everything that happened afterwards was just as planned.

The emperor vented his anger and forced himself to point at the seventh prince who was curled up on the couch like a quail and dared not move.

"Whose child is he?"

The emperor had a son in his old age, and apart from the Prince of Yan, who he had high hopes for, the emperor gave all his remaining fatherly love to the seventh prince. Now, when he looked at the seventh prince again, he was filled with only raging anger.

The Seventh Prince was so frightened that he burst into tears and kept saying, "Father, I am your child, Father..."

Concubine Shu also came to her senses and knelt on her knees to plead: "Your Majesty, I deserve to die, but our prince is innocent."

"innocent?"

The old emperor sneered: "I'm afraid you yourself can't tell whether he is the second son's illegitimate offspring or not."

"Come here! Imprison Consort Shu and the Seventh Prince in the cold palace, and send someone to capture Prince Qi immediately!"

After forcing himself to finish these words, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Before the Prince of Yan left the palace, he received the news and rushed to the emperor's bedroom. The old emperor was already lying on his dragon bed, his breath weak, and it was obvious that he was not well.

Except for Ji Yanli, almost all the imperial physicians on duty in the Imperial Medical Bureau came. They took turns taking the patient's pulse, with serious eyes.

"How is Father?"

Prince Yan walked to the bed and asked worriedly.

Doctor Wang, the head of the Imperial Hospital, stepped forward and said gravely, "The Emperor's health... may be failing."

His foundation had already been damaged, and he was also filled with anger. It could be said that the old emperor was at the end of his strength and was on the verge of death.

Upon hearing this, a cold flash passed through King Yan's eyes, and then he looked at Ji Yanli, "Is there really no other way?"

Ji Yanli sighed: "I can try my best, but..."

But the imperial doctors all said it was impossible. What kind of person should he be? The old emperor had been just average to his original body in his previous life. It was not worth the effort.

Prince Yan: "No matter what, let father wake up."

This is easy to do.

Ji Yanli didn't even need to take action, the imperial doctors could force the old emperor to wake up by acupuncture.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to execute Concubine Shu and Prince Qi. Although the Seventh Prince did not receive any actual punishment, the biggest punishment for him was that he went from being a little bully feared by everyone in the palace to a poor wretch who was bullied by anyone.

Then the old emperor turned to look at Ji Yanli. He was cuckolded by his own son, and he was very displeased with Ji Yanli who discovered this.

He was kept before to recuperate his body, but now he won’t live for many more days, so Ji Yanli is of no use to him.

Just as he was about to ask someone to arrest Ji Yanli, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his chest.

He cried out in pain, and the people from the Imperial Hospital gave him painkillers, but he still rolled around in pain. Ji Yanli walked up and took out a pill.

"This is what I developed. It can relieve the emperor's pain."

The people from the Imperial Hospital looked at it for a long time but could not figure out the ingredients. No one dared to give the medicine to the emperor rashly. It was Prince Yan who took the pill and stuffed it into the emperor's mouth. After a while, the pain that was worse than death gradually disappeared.

The old emperor looked at Ji Yanli with a complex emotion in his eyes. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "You... are very good. If you are willing to stay in the Imperial Hospital..."

"I only like the life of a carefree wanderer, but I have said that as long as the emperor needs me, I will do my best."

The old emperor closed his eyes and finally waved his hand, agreeing with him.

Ji Yanli left five pills and said that if you don't have any more, you can come to him again.

For convenience, the emperor directly gave him a five-courtyard house near the imperial city, and Ji Yanli bowed to express his gratitude again.

When he left, not only the old emperor, but even the Prince of Yan looked at him with thoughtful and meaningful eyes.

But Ji Yanli doesn't care.

His martial arts skills were top-tier in the world, and no one could force him to do anything he didn't want to do. Furthermore, the royal family was also human, and as long as they were human, they feared death. As long as he was valuable enough, they would only befriend him.

The old emperor is dying, but there is always a difference between dying peacefully without illness and dying in torture, isn't there?

He went straight back to the mansion given to him by the old emperor. He could feel several gazes following him. Ji Yanli glanced at the trees and the roofs casually and didn't take it seriously.

Those who were sent by the emperor to monitor him saw that Ji Yanli had been getting up almost at noon for five consecutive days, walking around to digest his food after dinner, leisurely drinking tea in the yard in the afternoon, and playing chess with his left and right hands in the pavilion at night. After seeing how Ji Yanli's life was like a fairy tale, they looked at their own faces that were weathered due to too much hard work, and revealed the twisted jealousy of office workers.

They could no longer stay there, so they went back to report to the old emperor.

When the old emperor heard that Ji Yanli lived a happier life than he, the emperor, he couldn't help but touch his heart, and once again felt the urge to kill him.

"Your Majesty! Quick...painkilling pills."

There was only one pill left of the five pills left by Ji Yanli. The old emperor took it to soothe the pain in his heart.

Damn, this guy really can't be killed.

After Ji Yanli handed the ten pills to the palace maid again, he went to find Xu Boqing and Mei Niang.

The two also bought a house in Beijing, but it was only a three-story house and was located a bit far away.

The couple had already realized that their godson was not an ordinary person, so they did not interfere too much with what Ji Yanli wanted to do. Xu Boqing even patted him on the shoulder and said, "Godfather will work hard too. Li'er, just do what you want to do. Whether it's to serve as an official in the court or to live a leisurely life, Godfather will always be your backer."

Xu Jier still loved to stick to him. The little guy's speech became much clearer and he kept calling "Brother, Brother".

When Ji Yanli returned, he paused for a moment. He turned around and looked at Qiao Chuzhu, who thought he was hiding well but the corner of his clothes was exposed.

"..."

He didn't understand why Qiao Chuzhu was following him, and didn't want to say more to her, so he turned around and quickened his pace.

Qiao Chuzhu reluctantly followed for a while, and finally couldn't help shouting: "Ji Yanli, Ji Yanli, wait for me!"

"Wait for me, I have something to talk to you about! Listen to me..."
