Chapter 347 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Ninety-Six)
Ji Mingyue felt very sorry that her aunt was not with her, otherwise she would definitely know more.
She couldn't help but return to the palace and use witchcraft to calculate Cui Li's fate.
However, Ji Mingyue had to calm down when she thought of her aunt's wrinkled face, her old and hoarse voice, the palace maids who were screaming and trying to escape, and the bloodstains spreading on the ground.
She is just a half-baked one. Although her aunt said that she is very talented, she knows herself well. She is not a real witch, nor can she really use witchcraft. She dare not use blood sacrifice to achieve her goals. She can only do some small tricks on weekdays.
Now that Cui Li couldn't make her see through him, she shouldn't take risks easily.
Witchcraft cannot be used casually. She usually tries to make the backlash affect Ji Wei, who is related to her by blood.
Fortunately, she rarely used witchcraft, and Ji Wei even wanted to take away her luck and life, so Ji Wei was not in any serious trouble for the time being.
Ji Mingyue doesn't want to be as ugly as her aunt when she is old.
No, I heard that my aunt looked like an old woman at the age of forty, with a hunched back. She usually wore a veil and rarely showed herself to others.
I thought that my great aunt must have used witchcraft many times when she was young and suffered backlash, which led to her becoming like that.
Although Ji Mingyue knew a little bit about Fengjian, there were more than one or two people she couldn't see through, so she no longer forced herself to understand Cui Li's affairs.
As for Ji Wei, Ji Mingyue had a strange look in her eyes. In fact, she couldn't see through Ji Wei, but her aunt said that Ji Wei could help her become the most noble person in the world.
That's why Ji Mingyue brought Ji Wei to Liang State!
Cui Li did not forget Ji Mingyue's inquiring eyes, which contained some disbelief.
What was she surprised about?
Her pregnancy was known to all the palaces.
Or has she become more beautiful?
Is Ji Mingyue so superficial? No.
Could it be that Ji Mingyue had used witchcraft on her as well? She just failed, so she was surprised?
It shouldn't be, otherwise she would have discovered it long ago.
Thinking back to Ji Mingyue's attention to her facial features, could it be that Ji Mingyue could read faces?
Cui Li thought it was not surprising that there was an old witch in Ji State.
This is the general trend of the world. Liang State is developing in full swing and its national fortune is prosperous. The other two countries will not sit idly by.
When the Imperial Master left, he also warned her to be careful and try her best to avoid the catastrophe. Obviously, the original owner did not avoid it and died directly.
As for why the National Master left and where he is now, Cui Li has some guesses.
A few years ago, the national teacher said that someone wanted to destroy the dragon vein of Daliang State, so he personally divined to predict when and where those villains were going to act, and suffered a terrible backlash.
When he left, he was gray-haired and looked pitiful. Cui Li supported him, worried about whether he could foil the villain's plan.
The Imperial Master immediately struck Cui Li hard on the head, then jumped out of the three-meter-high wall and disappeared.
Cui Li felt that the old witch of the Ji State probably figured out something, but she chose to send the two sisters of the Ji family to the Liang State, perhaps to preserve the royal bloodline.
Cui Li felt that Emperor Liang would not go to war with the State of Ji for the time being, but it was not certain about the State of Qi. After all, the two countries had deep-seated grievances. The five cities currently occupied by the State of Qi on the border belonged to the State of Liang forty years ago.
The three states of Qi, Liang and Ji were adjacent to each other and restrained each other.
More than forty years ago, Qi State joined forces with Ji State to attack Liang State and occupied ten cities and three counties of Liang State.
The State of Ji wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits, but was stabbed in the back by the State of Qi and lost two cities, which have not been recovered to this day.
Ten years ago, Liang had recovered its lost territory and recaptured five cities. Qi had paid Liang countless tributes and indemnities, including food, fodder, gold, and silver, before a truce was agreed between the two countries.
In the previous life, Liang Sheng and Cui Li were poisoned. Cui Li died, and Liang Sheng also had to expel the remaining poison. He temporarily did not have the energy to take drastic action. The old emperor of Qi could only live for another two years.
The old emperor is dead in this life.
However, the new emperor of Qi's regime was unstable, and many of the forces left behind by his brothers had fled to other places, so they would definitely not be at peace.
Now is a good opportunity for Liang State to retake the city.
Cui Li was a little curious about what Qi would do next.
Will he actively show his support to Liang State? Or will he fight to the death?
After the palace banquet and three rounds of drinks, Cui Li was ready to return to Chengqian Palace. When he saw the arrows flying all over the sky, he realized that he had witnessed the famous scene of the assassination of the emperor!
