Chapter 282 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Thirty-one)

Thinking about how Queen Ji had her Phoenix Seal taken away from her, Cui Li couldn't sleep at night and was in a bad mood. As soon as she saw Liang Sheng, they started arguing, so Liang Sheng refused to see the Queen at all.

The Emperor and Empress fell out, and Queen Mother Cui tried to persuade them once, but when she saw that the two were still arguing, she stopped caring. After all, her niece Cui Li had been poisoned to death, and she had no good face for Ji Shilan, the most suspected person.

Empress Ji was tragically betrayed and the emperor did not trust her. She was extremely depressed. One night, the palace maid forgot to close the window, and Ji Shilan caught a cold and died before she recovered.

Cui Li's puzzlement lies in the fact that Ji Shilan comes from a family of military generals. She has been wielding swords and guns since she was a child and has a strong body. She is unlike Cui Li, the eldest daughter of a scholarly family, who gets sick easily.

Could the cold really make Ji Shilan unable to recover for a long time or even die?

Maybe there's something else going on?

Cui Li: "Please pay attention to the fertility medicine Ji Shilan is taking. I think this medicine is not a good medicine and will slowly ruin Ji Shilan's body. Ji Shilan cannot die yet. If the queen of a country dies, the situation in the court and harem will change."

System Qiqi: "Ah? Wasn't the fertility medicine that Queen Ji took sent by the Ji family? The Ji family must have carefully selected it and consulted the doctor for repeated confirmation before giving it to the Queen. Whether this fertility medicine is effective or not is another matter, but it should have a nourishing effect."

Cui Li: "But Xiangxiu may have betrayed Ji Shilan a long time ago. She is Ji Shilan's confidant, so it would be easy for her to tamper with the fertility medicine. Ji Shilan has been taking it for a year, and there is no sign of pregnancy, so she has to continue taking it."

Cui Li: "If Ji Wei bribed Xiang Xiu shortly after entering the palace and tampered with your fertility medicine, then Ji Shilan may have been taking the problematic medicine for more than half a year. Over this period of time, the medicine has subtly affected Ji Shilan's mental and physical condition, which is not good for her."

System Qiqi: "You're right. I will be careful and will not let Ji Shilan die suddenly. Alas, although Queen Ji is secretly jealous of you, she has never personally harmed you. Ji Shilan has mostly stood by and watched, but as the queen, if she has stood by and watched too many times, it is inevitable that she will suffer the consequences herself."

In fact, Cui Li felt that Ji Shilan was just too anxious. She was obviously in good health, but she started taking all kinds of secret recipes for having a baby after not getting pregnant for two or three years. How could these secret recipes be so effective?

Taking too much medicine will harm your body. If your body is damaged, you will feel uncomfortable.

After Concubine Xu became pregnant, Ji Shilan never stopped taking the medicine and took it more frequently.

But she could also understand that Ji Shilan probably felt that her position was unstable without any offspring.

In addition, Queen Mother Cui had no children and had to adopt Liang Sheng. Although the mother and son had a close relationship before, Queen Mother Cui became much colder towards Liang Sheng because Liang Sheng ignored the wishes of Queen Mother Cui and Cui Li and forced Cui Li into the palace.

With the precedent of Empress Dowager Cui as a lesson, Ji Shilan might be worried that the one who will ascend to the throne in the future will not be her own son, and that she will become the Empress Dowager, so she will have to endure even her temper. She might also go to Mount Wutai to recuperate like Empress Dowager Cui, so that she won't be bothered by him if she can't see him.

In fact, when Empress Dowager Cui was still the Crown Princess, she gave birth to a daughter, but the daughter died at the age of one. Later, when she became the Queen, she had a difficult delivery and the little prince came out of the mother's womb too late and had already stopped breathing. Empress Dowager Cui also developed a chronic illness and never gave birth again.

It can be seen that life is unpredictable. If Empress Dowager Cui had given birth to a healthy prince, Liang Sheng would not have been favored by the emperor and empress, and it is still unknown who would have been the emperor of Liang later.

System Qiqi: "Ji Shilan is a little crazy. In fact, as long as Liang Sheng still needs the Ji family to fight for him on the battlefield, as long as Ji Jiuyuan is there, her position as queen is very secure."

System Qiqi: "It's a pity. The Ji family was loyal to the imperial family. During Liang Sheng's unification of the world, General Ji and General Ji died in battle one after another. They were clearly loyal ministers, but after Ji Wei's son ascended the throne, they were abandoned. Even the Ji family army was controlled by Geng Feiluan."

Ji Jiuyuan...

Cui Li inevitably thought of Ji Jiuyuan in the original book, who was ambushed by a traitor in the military camp and was besieged by 40,000 troops from Qi and Ji.
