Chapter 381 You should be grateful, your granddaughter’s surname is Ji
But Ji Qingwu still felt his back tightening when he looked at him.
She turned her head and raised her sleeves to quietly wipe the tears from her eyes.
Li Yuzong handed the gift box he was carrying to Ji Bolian and retreated to the door, blocking Ji Qingyuan from outside.
The atmosphere in the room became tense due to the emperor's arrival.
The emperor said that he was here to visit Mrs. Ji and it was inconvenient for the sick old lady to move.
But the emperor could not be allowed to stand and speak, so the servants quietly brought chairs.
But the bedroom where Mrs. Ji slept was not spacious enough to gather her energy and calm her nerves. After placing the chairs, it seemed a little crowded.
Therefore, the distance between everyone is very close.
According to seniority, Ji Qingwu will be the last to take a seat, and when it's her turn, everyone will pick the remaining spot.
She blinked a few times, looked at the only empty seat, and sat down with great pressure.
There is no other reason. The position under Kong Xia is directly opposite the emperor.
Everyone was sitting upright, including the old lady sitting on the bed. Only Emperor Wu Su had a leisurely posture, with one long leg almost reaching the edge of Ji Qingwu's skirt.
Ji Qingwu looked left and right, and there was really no room to move, so she could only put her toes away as much as possible.
Ji Bolian sat under Emperor Wu Su. As the head of the Ji family, he spoke first and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration. My mother's illness is not serious. I am grateful for the Emperor's kindness."
The old lady also changed her previous angry look and said with a kind smile: "I would like to thank the Emperor for visiting me. It was an old problem, but now I am fine."
Zhao Mingyan said calmly: "As long as it's not serious."
Everyone echoed a few words, and the room soon became quiet again.
Mrs. Ji's illness came suddenly. How could the emperor pay attention to her health? She was clearly here for other things. He happened to see the old lady being sick and was using her as an excuse.
But no one dared to ask.
The only one who dares to ask, doesn't want to ask.
Ji Qingwu was picking his fingers with his head down, almost making them look like flowers.
Zhao Mingyan glanced across the top of her hair and opened his mouth again.
"When I arrived at the door just now, I heard you talking about betraying my brother and what benefits were promised? And you also mentioned King Yong?"
Everyone's expressions froze.
I am really afraid of what will happen.
Ji Bolian frowned with a painful expression. He just mentioned these few words, but the emperor listened attentively.
He glared at the old lady again, saying the wrong thing, it would be better to drink the wrong medicine, sleep a little longer, and cause such a disaster again.
Ji Bolian said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, my mother told some nonsense because she was ill. Please don't take it seriously."
Zhao Mingyan raised his eyelids, his upward eyes full of sharpness.
"Listen, the old lady seems to have a heart problem. If King Yong did something wrong, which made the old lady depressed and sick, I am the brother of King Yong, so feel free to tell me."
Gibren assured: "It has nothing to do with the prince. It is the arrogance of the minister and his family. I will be careful in my words and deeds in the future."
Zhao Mingyan glanced at him and said: "Master Ji, I am asking the old lady."
Although his tone was light, it conveyed an unquestionable majesty.
Ji Bolian immediately fell silent.
Mrs. Ji felt uneasy, so she took a breath and said, "Back to the emperor, I did mention the prince. I wanted to ask Qingwu about an old matter. I didn't mean to offend."
Zhao Mingyan made a long sound and asked: "What is it? Why don't you tell me about it and see if I know about it?"
The emperor must have known about this matter. Mrs. Ji thought about the punishment Ji Changyan had received, and she was heartbroken and planned to ask.
"That's it-" Ji Bolian coughed violently.
The sound was so heartbreaking that Ji Qingwu felt pain in his father's trachea.
Mrs. Ji's words were temporarily stopped.
Ji Changlin's mind was spinning quickly and he said: "Your Majesty, what grandma actually wants to say is that Qingwu once had a dispute with Princess Yong, and the brother he mentioned was me. Qingwu and I like to fight and tell jokes. ”
Naturally, he understood what his father was thinking, and he tried to help him out.
Reporting to King Yong in front of the emperor, and also mentioning the matter of Chang Yan again, is it because the Ji family is not unstable enough?
Ji Changlin smiled slightly and said: "These are all trivial matters, and they are not worthy of mentioning in front of you, so as not to taint the Holy Spirit's hearing."
Zhao Mingyan's expression turned cold, and he said with a gun and a stick: "Are you the roundworm in the old lady's belly? You even know what she wants to say. If you can read my mind, maybe you can see what I am thinking?"
Ji Changlin: I’m thinking of driving him back to the Nanchu embassy.
But he didn't dare to say any more and quickly bowed his head, defeated.
Qiao sat on the right side of Ji Qingwu and kicked her lightly while they were talking. The only person who could speak in this scene was Xiao Wu.

Ji Qingwu tilted her head, her face wrinkled, and she expressed through lip language that she was also scared.
But she just didn't want to care.
Since Mrs. Ji insisted on asking, the emperor happened to be here, so she didn't need to worry anymore.
She also wanted to hear how Emperor Wu Su would answer.
Mrs. Ji lived up to Ji Qingwu's expectations and stayed firm to the end, with tears in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to hide anything from you, and I know I can't hide it. My second-in-law's grandson Changyan has been obedient and sensible since he was a child. He is indeed guilty of making a big mistake, but I think there may be extenuating circumstances behind it. ”
The old lady looked at Ji Qingwu with unconcealed resentment.
"That night, Qingwu was also present, but she refused to say what happened. I want to find out before she dies."
As Zhao Mingyan listened, his eyebrows gradually turned cold.
When the old lady saw this, she felt frightened in her heart. She didn't fall down because she was leaning on a pillow behind her.
Zhao Mingyan's lips curved with no emotion and said: "Old madam, are you trying to defend your grandson? And because of this, you are resentful of your granddaughter."
Mrs. Ji kowtowed on the bed and begged in a plaintive voice: "Please ask the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly."
The faces of the Ji family's father and son became extremely ugly. They all knew what Emperor Wu Su's expression meant, and there were signs of sullenness.
Hearing the old lady saying that a thorough investigation was needed, there was silence. Ji Qingwu quietly raised his eyes to see how the emperor would react.
As a result, I looked at him.
Touching the halo that sprouted in the emperor's eyes, she immediately moved away in fear.
He came to Ji's house for an ulterior purpose.
Ji Qingwu suddenly had a not-so-good premonition.
Zhao Mingyan leaned forward slightly and said in the most casual tone: "Old madam, you should be grateful. Your granddaughter's surname is Ji."
"It's because of her that I'm going to be open-minded."
This was not straightforward enough, but it was enough for everyone to understand.
The reason why the emperor showed mercy to the serious crimes committed by Ji Changyan and did not implicate the Ji family was because of Ji Qingwu.
But for what reason, several people have different thoughts.
Ji Qingwu's premonition was very accurate.
Her eyes flashed rapidly, her eyelashes blinked fiercely, and she took another breath, watching his thin lips open and close.
Ji Qingwu: What on earth did you do?
Zhao Mingyan: Isn’t it obvious?
