Concubine Li was completely stunned by Ji Wanrong's words. She sat there blankly, without speaking, still trying to pick up the tea cup.
Even his expression was wooden.
The whole person seemed to be frozen.
Ji Wanrong looked at Concubine Li's expression and felt a little more certain.
So she emphasized her tone again and fixed her eyes on Concubine Li's face: "If Mo Jiecheng had been raised by your side since he was a child, you would be his mother. I'm afraid his temper would not be worse than the smelly stones in the pit. It’s going to be hard.”
Ji Wanrong said this meaningfully.
Concubine Li's hands seemed to have been burned by the teacup. She took a deep breath and retracted her hands tightly from the teacup.
"hiss--"
"Is the empress burned? I have medicine here!" Ji Wanrong raised his eyes and looked at her burned red fingers. They were trembling slightly, but her face was pale and pale.
Concubine Li stiffly took the medicine from Ji Wanrong, as if she had lost her soul.
Ji Wanrong waited for a long time before hearing her low voice again: "I am Mo Jiecheng's aunt, and it is my duty to take care of him."
"...Maybe if I took more care of him when he was young, he wouldn't be like this now."
Ji Wanrong felt very uncomfortable hearing Concubine Li's words.
She slowly adjusted her sitting posture, holding her skirt tightly with her hands on her knees, and then asked the last question.
"I think if you were Mo Jiecheng's mother, he would be very happy. What do you think? The Queen already has Mo Junfeng."
When Concubine Li heard Ji Wanrong's words, her eyes seemed to be burned, and then she quickly looked away and just said with a smile: "Rong'er, Acheng is my sister's child, how can you talk like this."
Ji Wanrong closed his eyes.
Concubine Li didn't want to say it, maybe because she had something to hide.
Ji Wanrong was feeling a little tired when she felt her hands on her knees being held tightly by a pair of slightly cold hands.
She opened her eyes in surprise and saw Concubine Li's bloodshot eyes.
"Rong'er, you have to remember that you can just say this in front of me, but you can't say it outside."
Ji Wanrong pursed her lips, and then nodded silently.
Looking at Concubine Li's appearance, she knew that she was already trying her best to control her emotions.
So she stood up slowly, saluted Concubine Li, and then left: "I have Imperial Physician Sun here, please rest assured, he will take care of Mo Jie City."
Concubine Li tried her best to smile towards Ji Wanrong, and then nodded.
Ji Wanrong left like this.
After Ji Wanrong left, a woman's cry could be heard faintly in the originally grand Cining Palace.
The sound was very small at first, as if he was sobbing with his mouth covered, and then it became loud and heartbreaking, as if he was about to vomit his lungs out of his mouth.
Ji Wanrong closed his eyes, and then took steps forward again.
Until Ji Wanrong returned to Xie's house, he was still in a dull mood and a little unmotivated.
But she was in a bad mood, but soon many people were happy for her.
Because on the next day, the emperor consecrated Ji Wanrong as the third-grade vice-president and sent the imperial edict to Xie Zhai.
Ji Wanrong was named deputy court judge, which was almost the first time in history.
There has never been a precedent in history for a young man under the age of twenty to become the deputy judge of Taiyuan Hospital, let alone a woman who has already become the county head.
Although the county lord has the status of a second-rank official, it is actually a title, not an official position. Throughout the ages, the status of the county lord has been determined by the status of her father.
Although Ji Wanrong was granted the title of County Lord as an exception in the past, he was not particularly respected, but now it is different.
A young woman under 20 became the deputy chief judge of Taiyuan Hospital, and even the chief judge of Taiyuan Hospital was her apprentice. This proved that Ji Wanrong was truly talented and practical.
As much as Imperial Physician Sun was respected, Ji Wanrong was also respected. Even if it was doubled, the three words "Ji Wanrong" could still be recorded in the history books.
She was no longer someone's daughter but became a county lord, no longer someone's wife but a princess. She was not a woman who didn't even have a name and was lost in the long river of history.
She is herself, just Ji Wanrong.
After the emperor's edict was issued, it caused an uproar in the capital. Those who came to express their gratitude and congratulations had crossed the threshold, and some even came to propose marriage.
The people in Beili are conservative. In the past, even if Ji Wanrong became the county chief, he would still be unpopular. But now Ji Wanrong's superb medical skills have become the deputy director of the Imperial Hospital, and he has been recognized by the emperor.
Men in the capital, especially those whose families were seriously ill, came in droves.
Xie Lingxiao entertained some people who came to congratulate her, and blocked those who came to propose marriage with ulterior motives.
Of course, Ji Chengde, who came to congratulate him, was also stopped.
Because of this incident, Ji Wanrong finally stayed quiet for a while, and no messy people dared to cause trouble.
These days, Ji Wanrong is either rehabilitating Princess Virgin in the eldest princess's mansion, or staying in Xie's house to bask in the sun. Her life is very uncomfortable.
But after that, another major event happened, that is, members of Yuan Yizhiyuan's clan in Jiangnan arrived in the capital recently.
The grandfather of the Yuan family is already seventy years old. He currently serves as the governor of Jiangnan. He is a veteran of three dynasties. He used to be an important minister in the court and one of the confidants left to the emperor by the late emperor.
The grandfather of the Yuan family did not disappoint the emperor's expectations. After the emperor ascended the throne and his foundation was firmly established, he voluntarily went to Jiangnan.
He then took root in the south of the Yangtze River, far away from the whirlpool of the capital city. At the same time, he also had a good relationship with King Tofan of Ryukyu Island, which protected the coastal areas of Beili from pirates.
When he heard the news about Yuan Yizhi from the capital a few months ago, the grandfather of the Yuan family fainted. The situation was so dangerous that he almost stepped into the gate of hell.
Thanks to the life-saving pills sent by King Tofan of Ryukyu Island, the life of the Yuan family's grandfather was saved.
The grandfather of the Yuan family was in a coma for half a month, and then rested for another half a month after regaining consciousness. The one he loved most was his grandson.
After Kankan could get out of bed, he set off for the capital against all objections.
He stopped and stopped along the way and delayed many things, but he must go to the capital to seek justice for his beloved grandson.
When the emperor heard the news, he hurriedly invited him into the palace. The ancient old man didn't even have time to go to Xie Zhai to see Yuan Yizhi, so he hurriedly entered the palace to ask about the follow-up of the matter.
