An uncharacteristic Ji Muqing
The woman on the floor had already reached a state of madness.
Jing Yi got up and walked towards her. His gaze fell on the two lines of tears on her face. It had to be said that this woman had shed her unruly and capricious shell. When she was sad, she was quite moving. If she wasn't the daughter of the Ji family's first wife, his heart might have been touched by her.
The terrifying thought was fleeting.
He said, "Today, you and your two elder brothers are like three wild horses in this prince's hands. Other than helping this prince command the mighty army, you are useless. As long as this prince gains power in the future, your two elder brothers will turn from wild horses into ants that this prince can easily pinch."
"You won't have the last laugh. The heavens are watching. Sooner or later, you and Concubine Xiao will be beheaded." Ji Muqing raised her head and said fiercely.
In the next moment, Jing Yi raised his leg and kicked her shoulder. Her already bony body was kicked three meters away.
The pain in her shoulder caused her to frown. However, the hatred in her heart covered up all the pain in her body. She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh.
She swore that she would kill this man with her own hands!
At this moment, someone came in from outside.
The servant trembled as he entered the room. When he saw the scene in the room, he was startled for a moment before he bowed and reported, "Your Highness, the Princess's … younger sister is here. She says she wants to see the Princess and is waiting at the main door."
Ji Wanxin?
What a bad time!
Jing Yi glanced at the woman on the floor and walked up. He bent down and whispered a warning in her ear, "If you want your Ji family to be safe and sound after this prince ascends to the throne, then you better put on a good show for this prince. If you mess up, I guarantee that the first person to die in the Ji family will be your father."
Ah!
Ji Muqing gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger.
Jing Yi smiled devilishly and straightened his body. The servant who rushed in lifted his chin and ordered, "Take the Princess to freshen up. Give her the treatment she deserves."
Her maiden family had come to visit, so they had to give face.
"Yes."
The servant dragged the woman on the floor away.
The maidservants in the courtyard hurriedly helped her freshen up, change her clothes, and put on makeup.
However, no matter how much powder she applied, the wound on her face could not be covered.
Ji Wanxin waited outside the door for a long time, but there was no reply.
Her body was weak to begin with, and now that she had been standing for a long time, her forehead was sweating profusely.
The maidservant beside her had been supporting her. Seeing her Miss like this, she muttered and complained, "Is this how the wang fu treats its guests? Did it take so long just to go in and report? In my opinion, perhaps Eldest Miss is deliberately making things difficult for you. Does she think that being a Princess means … "
Before he could finish.
Ji Wanxin glanced at her. "Don't talk too much."
The maidservant had no choice but to shut up and support her.
After waiting for a while, the manservant who went in to report came back slowly and bowed. "Miss, you've been waiting for a long time. Wang Fei was resting just now and is awake now. Come in with me, I'll lead you there."
Her eyebrows drooped. "Thank you."
The Prince was huge, and Ji Wanxin walked slowly. It took them the time to drink two cups of tea to reach the luxurious courtyard set up for Wang Fei.
In the courtyard, the maidservants were performing their duties, but when they saw the newcomer, they all turned to look.
That woman was by no means a rouge. She had a dignified demeanor, graceful posture, and every step she took was like a lotus. With just a glance, her elegant and beautiful face stole everyone's attention. Especially the small red mole in the middle of her forehead, it added a bit of beauty to her delicate face. Although her complexion was a little pale, there was a faint beauty to it.
However, seeing that she was supported by someone and her body was weak, and hearing that Wang Fei's younger sister was sickly, the Shen family, who had been engaged for a long time, went to Jinjiang to make a scene in order to cancel the marriage. In the end, they were slapped by Ji Shuhan and sent back to the capital. They had no choice but to admit the marriage.
What was the use of a sickly person with a good appearance?
What a pity!
Ji Wanxin had long been used to their envious and regretful looks.
She ignored them and entered the room.
Ji Muqing was lying on the chaise lounge, her body turned sideways with her back facing her.
She didn't know if she had fallen asleep.
Ji Wanxin walked over and bowed, "Your Highness."
Between relatives, there was no lack of etiquette!
She only heard the person on the chaise lounge make a sound.
The maidservant beside her threw a stick of incense into the incense burner and brought a chair for her to sit on.
She looked at Ji Muqing, who had not turned around, and asked, "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"
At this moment, Ji Muqing's eyes were wide open, her gaze falling on the open window. After a while, she coldly replied, "No, no..."
She seemed a little absent-minded.
"Younger Sister came rashly to visit Your Highness on behalf of Father and the two of you. I also brought something." Ji Wanxin took a brocade box from her personal maidservant and held it in her hands, saying, "This was specially sent by Father. It's a piece of white ivory jade. Because he knew that Your Highness likes it, when Father got his hands on this piece of jade, he ordered someone to buy it and send it to you."
Strong fatherly love!
But...
Ji Muqing didn't even look at it, saying, "Put it down. When you go back, say hello to Father for me."
It was still that cold and emotionless tone.
At this time, Ji Wanxin also sensed something. She put the box aside, puzzled, "Your Highness, what are you..."
"I'm fine." Ji Muqing immediately said, "Younger Sister, please don't be offended. There's a rash on my face and I can't meet anyone. When it's better, I'll make a trip back to the estate. If there's nothing else, you can go back first."
"Big Sister..."
"When you go back, just tell Father that I'm fine. Don't tell him about the rash on my face, lest he worries."
She ordered them to leave.
Master Ji Wanxin didn't say anything else and could only agree.
He didn't disturb them too much and left after bowing.
After they left, Ji Muqing moved on the chaise lounge. She sat up and glanced at the door. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her hands clutched at her clothes.
She crumpled them into a ball.
A stream of tears fell.
As for Ji Wanxin, who had left Prince Yi's estate and boarded the carriage, she felt that something was amiss.
She thought that it couldn't be that simple. From the previous report to Ji Muqing's abnormal behavior, everything seemed very strange.
Furthermore...
Why wasn't the dowry maid, Cailan, in the room?
She was an extremely intelligent person. If she thought about it carefully, she would be able to figure out something fishy.
Eldest Brother was sent by Prince Yi to set up troops outside the city. This was enough to prove that because Eldest Sister was Prince Yi's Consort, Eldest Brother was already working for Prince Yi.
Eldest Sister's abnormal behavior must have something to do with Prince Yi. However, she knew Ji Muqing's temperament. If she was wronged, she wouldn't swallow it, unless Prince Yi found her weakness. Was it related to Eldest Brother? Or was it something else?
