Chapter 489: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Thirty-Nine)

After the remaining Ji army fled back to Ji, the general of Ji immediately reported the situation of the Liang army and told the king that Qi had withdrawn its troops first without notifying Ji, which led to Ji's defeat.

Qi's withdrawal of troops made the king of Ji secretly hate the villain Qi Baoping. Did Qi Baoping want to tear up the alliance?

The King of Ji State wrote a letter to question Emperor Ping of Qi, but all he got was Emperor Ping's complaints and perfunctory response. The King of Ji State was so angry that he cursed Crown Prince Ji Mingjie who facilitated the union of the two countries.

"Prince, look at what you've done! Qi Baoping is unfit for this important task! He was frightened half to death by a little civil unrest in the country, and you still want me to cooperate with such a coward! Are you worthy of those Ji Kingdom soldiers who died? All you do is irritate me all day long! Go back and reflect!"

Ji Mingjie, who had just been released from house arrest, was about to be driven away by his father again, which undoubtedly made him very angry, especially when he saw the smile of his aunt's son, his good brother, he couldn't help but clench his fists. His breathing became heavier, and he kept warning himself in his mind to be patient. He had to endure it first and not get angry in front of his father on the spot.

After returning to the East Palace, Ji Mingjie summoned his advisers, especially Moshi. Ever since Moshi rescued him from Liang Sheng's arrow, he had relied heavily on Moshi, and he wanted to hear Moshi's ideas.

"Brother Mo, you've seen the current situation. Qi Baoping, that cowardly and treacherous villain, secretly withdrew his troops, causing our Ji army to be attacked from both sides and suffer heavy losses. My father is furious and has forbade me to leave the Eastern Palace."

"Your Highness, don't worry. This is not your fault. It was Emperor Qi Ping who was too cowardly and fled in the face of battle. You were also deceived by Emperor Qi Ping. The monarch should not blame you."

Moshi's words made Ji Mingjie feel better. It was the fault of that useless Emperor Qi Ping, and his father chose to vent his anger on him.

Ji Mingjie continued, "Brother Mo is right. My father took his anger out on me because of the dead soldiers, and I accepted it. But my fourth brother just stood by and laughed at me. You know, the old patriarch values ​​my fourth brother more. If the imperial sister was alive, it would be fine. The old patriarch would not support the fourth brother for the sake of the imperial sister. But I failed to save the imperial sister and let her die in Liang State. The old patriarch is very dissatisfied with this and feels that I didn't do my best to save the imperial sister. Mingyue'er is my biological sister, how could I not care! Humph!"

After listening to Ji Mingjie's complaints, Moshi frowned and sighed, "We are all very sorry about the Princess's situation. Your Highness, you are in a very difficult situation right now. You should be the one who knows best how the King and the Old Concubine Dowager view you and the Fourth Prince. I am worried..."

"What are you worried about?"

"The monarch's mind is unpredictable. You know, the monarch's favorite woman is the Imperial Consort. The Fourth Prince is also treated differently because of this. If she whispers in his ear, it's hard to be sure..."

"Impossible!" Ji Mingjie waved his hand and smashed a set of high-quality tea sets on the tea table.

"I spoke out of turn, and I beg Your Highness to forgive me."

Ji Mingyue pressed his temples, tiredly asked everyone to leave, and began to think deeply alone.

There weren't many high-ranking concubines in the palace, the three most honorable ones being the Empress, Imperial Noble Consort, and Imperial Noble Consort Wen. My father had nothing but respect for my mother, the Empress, and he preferred my aunt, Imperial Noble Consort, and he also preferred Imperial Noble Consort Wen, the mother of my second younger sister.

He thought about it and asked someone to pass a message to the queen, hoping that his mother could find out his father's attitude.

The queen soon sent a confidant to meet the prince secretly. When Ji Mingjie learned that his father had not met his mother at all, he was very upset.

A day later, Ji Mingjie received information from his spies and learned that the Fourth Prince had gone to see the old queen dowager again, and the Second Princess and her husband, Prince Lounan, had come to the imperial capital, accompanied by Prince Lounan's sister Li Dandan.

Thinking of Li Dandan who loves the Fourth Prince, Ji Mingjie is a little worried that Prince Lounan will support the Fourth Prince.

It was originally thought that when Prince Lounan came to Beijing and a banquet was held in the palace, he could leave the Eastern Palace. However, that night the king sent someone to ask him to recuperate in the Eastern Palace.

Ji Mingjie was very dissatisfied. He was not sick, but his father did not want him to attend the banquet! This banquet might not be good for him.

What you fear will come true. The king of Ji State really gave Li Dandan to the fourth prince as his principal wife, which made the crown prince jealous!

Ji Mingjie held the sword and looked towards the direction of the palace with a sinister look.

"Father, you were the one who wronged Jie'er first. Don't blame Jie'er for being ruthless!"
