Chapter 379 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Twenty-Eight)
Ji Mingjie thought of his adopted sister in the palace, who was pregnant with Emperor Liang's child.
"Oh, it was only when I left Ji Country this time that I learned that my father had secretly given the Third Imperial Sister a group of people. All of them are elites and are loyal only to her. I really underestimated the Third Imperial Sister."
Moshi's expression changed slightly, and he asked in surprise, "Does the king value the third princess so much?"
Ji Mingjie snorted coldly: "Father is just seeing the profit, and the belated father-daughter love."
Ji Mingjie consoled himself in this way, but he still harbored a trace of hostility towards his half-sister. His biological sister, Ji Mingyue, was imprisoned, so Ji Wei must have had something to do with it, right?
"Prepare for both scenarios. You go and get the information over there, and I'll have someone ask Ji Wei."
"Yes, Mosh will do it right away."
Ji Mingjie waited for Mosh to leave, and then he began to ponder alone in the room. He went to bed and fell asleep only when a reddish halo appeared in the sky.
Inside the palace.
A palace maid walked up to Ji Wei and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to have your meal."
Ji Wei nodded and let the palace maid help her to the Eight Immortals Table.
She took a look at the dishes, which were pretty standard, nothing fancy.
"Why are these dishes again? I remember eating them three days ago, didn't I?"
The maid immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. What would you like to eat? I will ask the imperial kitchen to make it again."
Ji Wei waved her hands and said, "Forget it, I don't have anything I want to eat, just eat whatever you want."
She sat down and ate something casually. When she had no more, she gave it to the palace maid who was standing by and serving her.
"Take it down and eat it."
The maid said gratefully, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."
There were more than ten dishes on the table, and the Empress hadn't touched at least half of them. What a treat!
All the dishes were removed, and Ji Wei looked at the red line on her wrist worriedly.
After dismissing the palace maids waiting in the hall, she said irritably, "Ji Mingyue, you are such a disaster! You are dragging me down with you until you die. You must live a few more days!"
"My lady, I have something to report."
Ji Wei recognized whose voice it was and let her in.
"Xiao Fu, what's the matter?"
A palace maid in green said:
"My Lady, spring has arrived. Someone from the Clothing Bureau is here to take your measurements and make you new clothes."
"I'm not in the mood right now. Come back tomorrow."
Xiao Fu turned sideways to reveal the pink-dressed palace maid behind her.
The pink-dressed palace maid said, "Your Majesty, the Shangyi Bureau has just received a batch of high-quality materials, including Jiguo's southern embroidery. You will definitely like it."
"Nanxiu?" Ji Wei glanced at Xiaofu, and when she saw her nod, she immediately changed her attitude.
"Then please measure me again. My clothes haven't been fitting me well lately."
Ji Wei and Xiao Fu exchanged glances, and Xiao Fu stepped out and stood guard at the door.
When the green-clad maid took the ruler to measure Ji Wei's size, Ji Wei frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why did you come to me through Xiao Fu?"
The green-clad palace maid whispered, "My servant Wu Lan is Prince Ji's servant."
"Wu Lan? Are you from the Wu tribe? What did the emperor ask you to do?"
Wu Lan explained her purpose in a low voice.
"He's not afraid of death! Sneaking into the Liang capital at this critical moment? Qi and Liang are at war, and it's fine for our Ji Kingdom to pretend to be here to watch. But if we help Qi attack Liang, do you believe that our brother will be arrested and taken to the Dali Temple tomorrow?"
Wu Lan shook her head and said, "The Crown Prince has his own plans, and it's not for me to interfere. Princess, do you know where the eldest princess is being held?"
Ji Wei asked doubtfully, "Isn't it in the Dali Temple?"
Wu Lan said angrily, "The Emperor of Daliang is too despicable. The Princess is not in the Dali Temple, and we have lost a lot of manpower. Princess, please think of a solution! We can't let the Princess suffer in prison."
Ji Wei snorted coldly and said, "She dared to cast a spell on me, linking my fate with hers. Now you still want me to save her? Dream on!"
Wu Lan looked at the red line on her wrist and asked in surprise, "How could this happen?"
Ji Wei said indignantly: "She just can't stand seeing me doing well!"
