Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 61: You should never plot with the prince about his position
"I am a humble commoner and I am afraid that I may dirty the hands of the imperial concubine." Ji Anyu suppressed his disgust and said respectfully.

Wei Yangxi touched nothing, and her fingers, which were applying nail polish, became slightly stiff.

Her face darkened and she looked at Ji Anyu with increasing displeasure.

If she hadn't been thinking about serious business, she would have killed Ji Anyu with a cup of poisoned wine.

"I can help you deal with Nanhou Mansion and Concubine Shu, but you have to lurk beside Shen Jing and wait for an opportunity to kill him."

Ji Anyu smiled secretly. Even if she had nothing to do with it, the imperial concubine helped the second prince to seize the throne, and sooner or later she would take action against Nanhou Mansion and Shufei.

Using her as a raft, do you think she doesn't know?

Ji Anyu pretended to be dumb and said in fear, "As a girl, I can save people, but I don't dare to kill people."

"It is said that men should be self-reliant, and women can do the same. I believe you can do it. If you can fulfill my long-cherished wish, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred acres of fertile land." Wei Yangxi suppressed his irritability and spoke in a gentle voice to bewitch people.

"Why did the Imperial Concubine want to kill Master Shen?"

Ji Anyu was confused, and suddenly recalled the time when Shen Jing was seriously injured, with knife wounds all over his body, and every knife wound was fatal. It was obvious that the assassin had no intention of leaving him alive.

Wei Yangxi frowned coldly, "This is not something you should ask. If you do it well, I will give you more rewards."

Ji Anyu's eyes twitched slightly. When did she agree?

"My Lady, I can't do the killing. Why don't you find someone else?"

"Humph! Now that you've entered my bedroom, you still want to leave safely?"

Wei Yangxi looked at Ji Anyu coldly. Would he just talk about doing things for her?
"Someone, give her the medicine."

Ji Anyu smelled a familiar scent, but before she could investigate further, she was held down by the palace servants.

"Little girl, do you know why Ji Yunchu listens to me so much?"

The jade hand stroked Ji Anyu's face, and the fingertips swept back and forth across Ji Anyu's chin.

Wei Yangxi glanced at the bowl of medicine and said with a sly smile, "You resist now, but after you drink it, I will be unwilling to give it to you next time you beg me to give it to you."

Just as the black medicine was about to be delivered to Ji Anyu's mouth, there was a sudden angry shout.

"Wait!"

Wei Yangxi looked up and raised his eyebrows.

"Hey, Nanny Jiang is here. What do you want from me?"

Ji Anyu looked over and saw that the person coming was the nanny beside the Queen Mother.

Nanny Jiang glanced at the imperial concubine indifferently, and her eyes fell on Ji Anyu.

"The jade Buddha that Miss Ji gave to the Queen Mother was very much liked by her. She ordered this old servant to invite Miss Ji to move to Shouchang Palace."

"So it's the Queen Mother who wants to see Second Miss Ji. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have sent someone to take Second Miss Ji over." Wei Yangxi wanted Ji Anyu to drink the medicine before leaving. After all, the medicine was hard to find and expensive.

Nanny Jiang knew that the Imperial Concubine had bad intentions, otherwise the Queen Mother would not have known that Ji Anyu was with the Imperial Concubine and specifically asked her to come and rescue Ji Anyu.

"The old servant is already here, no need to bother the imperial concubine."

Seeing that the old woman didn't give her face, Wei Yangxi sneered coldly and was unwilling to let her go.

"Miss Ji Er, next time you come to the palace, I will treat you well again."

Ji Anyu put on a sweet smile and said, "Your Highness is too enthusiastic. I am extremely terrified and unworthy of your hospitality. Your Highness, please go and entertain the Emperor."

Wei Yangxi's face instantly froze, and he wished he could tear Ji Anyu to pieces.

Nanny Jiang was surprised that Ji Anyu was such a ruthless character and couldn't help but look at Ji Anyu a few more times.

After Ji Anyu walked out, he bowed to Nanny Jiang.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Madam. An Yu will always remember it in her heart."

Seeing that Ji Anyu was as obedient as a little rabbit at this moment, Nanny Jiang's mouth twitched slightly.

"Miss Ji, please thank the Queen Mother if you want to thank someone."

Ji Anyu nodded repeatedly. She knew that without the Queen Mother's permission, Nanny Jiang would not come to help her. "Let's go. The Queen Mother and the Emperor are waiting for you."

Ji Anyu was surprised. She didn't expect that the emperor would be in Shouchang Palace.

As soon as she entered Shouchang Palace, she saw the Jade Buddha, and behind her her eyes were the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

"I, Ji Anyu, pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years of live the Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother saw Ji Anyu's relieved smile.

"Get up, you are a sensible girl."

Ji Anyu did not get up, but kowtowed again.

"I heard that the Queen Mother likes to worship Buddha. It just so happened that Lord Wei sent me a jade Buddha yesterday to congratulate me on my move in. I wanted to borrow flowers to offer to the Queen Mother. I, my grandfather, and my brother are loyal to the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

"I understand." The Queen Mother smiled knowingly.

It was after seeing the jade Buddha that she guessed that Ji Anyu intended to sever ties with the Wei family, so she asked Nanny Jiang to help Ji Anyu out.

"Girl, you are smarter than your father. I am really surprised that you can come up with the idea of dividing the family." Shen Weixiao raised a faint smile.

If he hadn't found out something, he would have suspected that Ji Anyu knew that he was planning to chop off the head of the man from the Duke's Mansion.

Ji Anyu's heart trembled.

"I just can't bear to see my grandfather suffer, I just hope he can spend his old age in peace."

The Queen Mother became more and more satisfied with Ji Anyu. She helped Ji Anyu up and looked at her carefully.

"Like your grandmother."

She took off the jade bracelet and put it on Ji Anyu's wrist.

"The color suits you perfectly. You were frightened today. This bracelet is for you."

Ji Anyu quickly thanked him.

The Queen Mother patted the back of Ji Anyu's hand lovingly, and became more and more satisfied the more she looked.

"Madam Jiang, escort Miss Ji out of the palace."

Shen Weixiao watched Ji Anyu leave, and after a moment, he looked at the Queen Mother with a smile.

"The jade bracelet that my mother gave to Ji Anyu shows that she likes her very much."

"If she doesn't mind that Ajing has a short life, I will treat her well." The Queen Mother sat down and picked up a cup of tea.

"You want to raid the Duke's Mansion, I won't stop you, but Ji Xiuxu has been working for you, you want his head, at least give the Duke's Mansion some compensation."

"I understand that the position of Crown Princess will be given to the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. I think Ji Xiuxu will rest in peace in the afterlife."

Shen Weixiao sat opposite the Queen Mother with an open heart and a smile.

He had already drafted an imperial decree to grant marriage to the Crown Prince and Ji Yunchu, but when he heard that Ji Xiuxu had taken Ji Anyu back, he did not issue the decree immediately.

He wanted to see which daughter Ji Xiuxu cared more about, and then choose her to be the Crown Princess to fulfill Ji Xiuxu's love for his daughter.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jing fell in love with Ji Anyu, and Ji Anyu accidentally protected the old Duke and Ji Yunchi because Ji Yunchu poisoned her to split the family.

If the Duke's Mansion had been more obedient, he would not have had the intention to kill.

He should never, ever plot with the Crown Prince over his position.

The prince was already dissatisfied with the help of his uncle, the general, and now with the Duke's Mansion, he could no longer tolerate it.

He even wondered if the Duke's Mansion had colluded with the general and was just waiting for the right opportunity to break into the palace.

"Now that the Duke's Mansion has split up, Ji Chengting and Ji Yunchi are both good citizens, and only Ji Xiuxu is left in the Duke's Mansion. If he doesn't adopt his son, after he dies, the child will be able to legitimately take back the rights of the Duke's Mansion."

The Queen Mother vaguely guessed from Shen Weixiao's words that Shen Weixiao did not intend to kill all the men in the Duke's Mansion, and she couldn't help but be happy. She didn't want her son to commit murder again.

"It would be best if we could deal with the Duke's Mansion in a gentle way."
