Chapter 372: Strong Alliance, Predictable
"At first I just wanted to keep her by my side in case I needed her. I didn't expect that she had the ability to predict the future. She firmly told me that she wanted to enter the palace to accompany the emperor. I know she is not worthy of serving the emperor, but she has this ability to predict the future. If someone finds out and uses it, it will be bad for the emperor. The only way is to keep her by his side."
***'s words do make sense.
The emperor's expression softened a little.
*** continued: "I sent her to the emperor as a plaything, but who knew that the emperor would pamper her so much and even make her a concubine."
The emperor's face immediately darkened.
***What did Ji Qingyuan learn? Doesn’t she know it herself?
"Your Majesty, Ji Chuhe deliberately exposed Ji Qingyuan's identity in order to sow discord between us. Her plan was a great success! If Your Majesty is really angry with me because of this, it will just suit Ji Chuhe's wishes."
"Royal sister, you have told me the whole story, how can I blame you? But, Ji Qingyuan needs to be properly arranged."
"Of course we can't let her leave the palace. Your Majesty, rest assured, I will take care of Shen Chengjing."
"Shen Chengjing has already been imprisoned in the government office. He is not a threat. There is no need for you to do anything unnecessary."
"Then let him be locked up in prison first. Your Majesty, the Queen and Ji Chuhe seem to be very close in private." *** suddenly reminded.
"I understand. Sister, please leave the palace first. I will handle the rest."
"Then I'll take my leave first." *** turned and walked out.
……
The queen has asked all the idle people to leave.
There were only her, Ji Chuhe and Ji Qingyuan left in the hall.
Ji Qingyuan still didn't say anything, and refused to say anything even if she died.
"The Emperor has arrived!" Suddenly, a voice of announcement came from outside.
The three people in the hall immediately stood up to greet the emperor.
"I, my concubine, pay my respects to the Emperor."
"Your Majesty, your humble servant."
"Everyone, stand up." The emperor raised his hand and walked directly to the main seat and sat down.
His eyes fell directly on the queen, "Queen, do you admit your guilt?"
The queen immediately knelt down and said, "I don't know what crime I have committed. Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty."
"As the master of the six palaces, don't you have any judgment? How could Concubine Yue be Ji Qingyuan! Shen Chengjing has already confessed to the fact of killing Ji Qingyuan, and only the body has not been found. How can Concubine Yue become Ji Qingyuan just based on the Crown Prince's wife's casual identification?" The Emperor questioned the Queen.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. It was my negligence." The Queen immediately admitted her guilt.
When Ji Qingyuan heard the emperor's tone, the uneasiness in her heart immediately disappeared, and she quickly walked up to the emperor and ran down.
"Your Majesty, I am really wronged. The Crown Prince's wife suddenly pulled me aside and pointed out that I was her sister. I didn't know how to react. I have been trained as a dancer by the emperor since I was a child. How could I be the Crown Prince's wife's sister?" Ji Qingyuan cried with a look of grievance.
The queen's heart sank suddenly.
Does the emperor still want to make the best of a bad situation and keep Ji Qingyuan in the palace?
How capable is Ji Qingyuan to be able to make the emperor lose his mind?
Based on her understanding of the emperor, he would never tolerate such a thing, and Ji Qingyuan would definitely die!
Ji Chuhe was also somewhat suspicious of the emperor's attitude.
With all the seductive skills that Ji Qingyuan had learned, it was impossible for her to bewitch the emperor to this extent.
Could it be that Ji Qingyuan was telling the emperor that she was reborn and was a favored girl by heaven?
If this is true, things will be difficult.
The emperor is obviously protecting Ji Qingyuan.
She couldn't let the Queen bear the consequences alone.
Ji Chuhe immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yue and my sister look exactly the same, even their voices are the same. Shen Chengjing's case is under investigation, and he has admitted to killing my sister, but the body cannot be found. If my sister is still alive, it would be a great thing. When I saw Concubine Yue, I naturally thought she was my sister."
"I understand that the Crown Prince's wife is anxious to find her sister, but Concubine Yue is not your sister Ji Qingyuan. The government office is still investigating the case. Maybe there will be new clues soon."
"Yes." Ji Chuhe responded softly.
"The Queen is incompetent. Considering your contributions in managing the six palaces, I will not punish you any more. From today on, Cao Yun'er will assist in managing the six palaces."
"Yes." The queen responded immediately.
The emperor stood up and extended his hand to Ji Qingyuan.
Ji Qingyuan immediately took the emperor's hand and stood up.
The emperor took her and walked out.
The queen looked at the emperor's departing back and a trace of resentment flashed across her eyes. This emotion flashed by so quickly that it was impossible to capture.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry that you've been implicated in this matter."
"No need to say that. This is what we are doing together. Since I have agreed to this matter, I should bear the consequences of it."
"It's really strange that the emperor saved Ji Qingyuan."
"I will find out exactly why."
"My lady, I suddenly remembered something. Back then, when we were in Huaiyang, Ji Qingyuan once said madly that she had already experienced a lifetime, and this lifetime was a re-living."
"Live a new life?" The queen didn't quite understand what it meant.
"It means that after she died in her previous life, she returned directly to some point in this life. That's roughly what it means." Ji Chuhe explained.
Now the queen understood.
"What kind of crazy talk is that? How is it possible that someone who has died can come back to life again? I do believe in reincarnation."
"This matter is indeed unbelievable. However, there is one thing that makes us believe that what she said is true."
The queen looked surprised.
Even Ji Chuhe said so, so Ji Qingyuan really lived a new life?
"There was a dead tree in the Ji County Magistrate's mansion. Everyone thought it was dead and was going to dig it up and throw it away. But Ji Qingyuan said that the tree was not dead and would soon sprout and come back to life. Because in the previous life, the tree was not dead. Later, her prediction came true. The tree sprouted and came back to life just as she said."
"How could this happen!" The Queen also found it strange.
"Yes, if it were other things, we could still question the authenticity of what she said, but this dead tree came back to life, it simply cannot be fake." Ji Chuhe brought up this matter with the purpose of making the queen believe it.
She and the Queen are allies, and she must not keep the Queen in the dark.
"There really are such bizarre things in this world!" The queen was still digesting this fact.
She really believed it.
It’s not just because of Ji Chuhe’s words, the most important factor is the emperor’s attitude towards Ji Qingyuan.
