The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Chapter 115 My foster brother went to the capital instead of me

Mei Niang wanted to take the child back. Although Ji Yanli had become smaller, his strength was still there. How could he let her take the child back so easily? The child was in danger, so he put all his focus on the child. While dodging Mei Niang's grabbing hands, he quickly used first aid.

The old lady held Mei Niang back and said, "Mei Niang, don't get excited. Look."

The child suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a half-eaten date, then burst into tears.

"Ji'er, Ji'er!"

Mei Niang was so panicked that she wanted to hold the child. This time, Ji Yanli did not hide and gently handed the child to her. The mother and child cried to each other.

The old lady thanked Ji Yanli and took out a box of snacks from the house and gave it to him.

"Good boy, eat something first. Your Aunt Mei was just too anxious. This time it's really thanks to you."

Ji Yanli looked at the snacks and hesitated for a long time, not daring to take them, but the old lady forced them into his hands.

"You saved Ji'er, so you are our family's benefactor. It's just a box of snacks, don't worry about eating it."

Mei Niang also wiped her tears and came over with Ji'er in her arms to express her gratitude.

Ji'er was only two or three years old. Her black eyes looked like black pearls soaked in water because she had just cried, and they were particularly pitiful.

"Ji'er, thank your brother quickly."

"Thank you, Guoguo."

Xu Jier struggled to get down from the ground and threw herself into Ji Yanli's arms, shouting "boo, boo, boo, boo". A smile appeared in Ji Yanli's eyes.

He came to rescue the child because his father was a subordinate of the Prince of Yan. Ji Sheng had gone to the capital with great effort. He was reborn and knew that the Prince of Yan would eventually ascend the throne. When the Prince of Yan returned to the capital, he would definitely try to curry his favor. What Ji Yanli had to do was to cure the Prince of Yan before him, follow his path, and leave him with no other options.

And although the efforts of their ancestors had led to the development of a medicine to cure the royal family's illness, the royal men's lifespans were short. This was not only due to the pain they suffered, but also because the fleshworms constantly drained their vitality. Even if the medicine cured their illness, the lost vitality could not be regained.

In other words, even if the pain of illness was completely relieved, the royal family of this generation would still have a short lifespan.

But the person in this body now is Ji Yanli. He has been studying medicine and alchemy in the underworld for hundreds of years. He really has a way to deal with this situation.

Of course, this method is only effective before taking medicine to remove the flesh worms. Once the flesh worms completely leave the body, the lost vitality cannot be recovered.

There was a cold flash in his eyes.

I hope Ji Sheng moves slower, otherwise he will be too impatient and use medicine to remove the flesh worms from the royal family. I hope he can also withstand the overwhelming rage in the later period.

Ji Yanli gently supported Xu Jier, fearing that he would fall.

No matter what the original thoughts were, Xu Jier was indeed a lovable child.

Half a minute later, Xu Boqing hurried back with the doctor. There was despair on his face. Although he pretended to be calm, his lips were trembling. When he pushed open the door, his legs went weak and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Even if he rode his horse at full speed all the way to the town, he felt that Ji'er might not be able to wait that long.

He had a sad face, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Ji'er and a child about twelve or thirteen years old playing in the yard.

"Ji'er?"

He cried out in surprise.

Xu Jier saw him and ran over to him, "Dad, Dad, it's okay. Guoguo cured me."

Xu Jier pulled Xu Boqing over and pointed at Ji Yanli, "It was Guoguo who saved me."

The doctor who came with Xu Boqing examined Xu Jier from head to toe and nodded: "It's okay."

Xu Boqing finally felt relieved.

He did not take Ji Yanli's young age lightly, but instead bowed solemnly to him:

"Thank you so much, my benefactor."

Ji Yanli didn't feel embarrassed. In the original world line, Xu Jier was indeed not rescued.

Xu Boqing worked for the King of Yan, but his mother was nostalgic and liked to live in the village, so he would bring his wife back from time to time to stay for a few days.

After Xu Jier died, the old lady died soon after due to excessive grief, and Xu Boqing and Mei Niang never came back.

Until the Prince of Yan ascended the throne and Xu Boqing became a third-rank official, he still had no children, and Mei Niang had died of depression long before that.

He accepted this favor with ease.

After learning that his parents had passed away and his adoptive brother had also left, Xu Boqing thought for a moment and asked him, "Would you like to be Mei Niang and my godson?"

Mei Niang also thought this was a good idea. Before she could say anything, Xu Jier clapped her hands and said happily, "Guo Guo, Jier, Guo Guo."

Ji Yanli's heart moved, and then he looked at Xu Boqing with anticipation and trepidation.

"Can I?"

"of course can."

Xu Boqing laughed heartily.

First, his son was rescued, and then he had a sensible godson. How could he not be happy?

Xu Boqing took out a valuable jade pendant, and Mei Niang prepared to sew some suitable clothes for Ji Yanli by herself. Even the old lady and little Xu Jier gave Ji Yanli gifts.

After Ji Yanli kowtowed several times to Xu Bo's childhood sweetheart, the relationship was officially recognized.

After rejecting Xu Boqing and Mei Niang's suggestion to clean up a house for him to live in, Ji Yanli returned to his original home.

In the original world line, Qiao Chuzhu did not cause any actual harm to the original body, but that was only because the original body was too vigilant and she did not have a hand. Before leaving with Xu Boqing and Mei Niang, he wanted to settle the grudge with Qiao Chuzhu first.

It was getting late, so Ji Yanli washed up and lay down on the bed. The cool breeze blew in from the somewhat dilapidated window, making him feel somewhat leisurely and comfortable.

After a while, he fell asleep.

On the other side, Ji Sheng and others also stopped at an inn to rest and recuperate.

The one who came to pick up the descendant of the Ji family was Eunuch Zheng who was beside the emperor. Because of the relationship between the Ji family and the royal family, he was very polite to him. On the way, he saw that he talked about the affairs of the Ji family in detail. Eunuch Zheng had an idea and mentioned the matter of the pills seemingly unintentionally.

Ji Sheng said confidently, "Our Ji family has been researching a cure for illnesses since our great-grandfather. Thank goodness, we finally found it."

Eunuch Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. He immediately became more polite to Ji Sheng and was more eager to return to the capital. The journey that was originally supposed to take seven or eight days ended with him returning to the capital in the evening of the fifth day.

"Master Ji, the Seventh Prince is still young, but he has already shown signs of illness. The situation is urgent. If you can save the Seventh Prince..."

Eunuch Zheng didn't say the rest of the words, but Ji Sheng understood.

As long as he really made the pills to cure the Seventh Prince and all the royal family members, no one would say anything even if he, Ji Sheng, walked around the capital with his head held high.

His heart was burning with passion, and he could not wait even a moment.

"Eunuch Zheng, I would like to pay my respects to the Emperor and then go see the Seventh Prince. Is that okay?"

Eunuch Zheng nodded. "If there are any herbs you need, just let me know. The Imperial Hospital has ample supplies, and you can pick them up yourself."

Ji Sheng looked at the majestic and magnificent imperial palace with its red walls and yellow tiles. The smile on his lips widened and his eyes were filled with unconcealable pride.

In his previous life, Ji Yanli didn't care about brotherly love at all. In this life, he would not let Ji Yanli get any benefit from him.
