Ji Lingxi went to the emperor's palace and waited for a long time before she saw Ji Lanjin coming out of it. She was about to go up to find him, but she saw that the fourth prince was following behind him. She couldn't help but shrink back the step she had just taken and hid quietly.
He looked behind the concubines and waited until the two separated, then hurriedly greeted him, pulled him in one direction and said, "Come with me quickly."
"Princess?" Ji Lanjin suddenly saw her rushing out and couldn't help being slightly stunned.
Ji Lingxi looked around, then quickly leaned into Ji Lanjin's ear and whispered: "I know where Sister Qing is being held."
With just one sentence, Ji Lanjin immediately understood what the other party meant. He stopped immediately, looked at her with an unchanging expression and said, "Then please princess, please take good care of her for me."
Ji Lingxi's hand movements paused, "Aren't you going to save her?"
Ji Lanjin did not deny it, and said in a calm tone with no emotion on her face: "It is safest for her to stay in the palace now."
Ji Lingxi frowned, looked at him with some worry and confusion, and said, "But, when my father brought her into the palace at this time, he clearly wanted to use her to threaten you to do something for him.
You won’t just agree stupidly, will you?”
"Don't worry, princess, I can handle it." Personal grudges aside, the fourth prince is indeed the most suitable heir to the throne. There is nothing wrong with the emperor wanting to pass the throne to him.
When the little girl heard this, she pouted her lips and said with some contempt for the other party's decision: "But I have already agreed with Sister Qing that I want you to save her. How can you do nothing? Father, too,
To actually use Sister Qing to threaten you is too unfair."
Seeing her face filled with righteous indignation and looking deeply ashamed of the emperor's decision, Ji Lanjin couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't say that, he is also your father after all."
The little girl curled her lips, but did not refute. Looking at his appearance, she made sure again and said, "Are you really not going to save her?" Seeing that Ji Lanjin had no reaction, she couldn't help but look a little depressed: "
Well, I will go find Sister Qing and tell her your decision. But what exactly did your father blackmail you into?"
Ji Lanjin smiled and said: "It's nothing. This is not something that a girl like you should care about. Go ahead and spend more time with her if possible so that she doesn't have to think about it."
The little girl looked him up and down, pouted, and pretended to be mature: "I'm afraid it's hard not to think wildly."
Ji Lanjin's eyes only darkened slightly, but she didn't say a word.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Ji Lingxi thought that she had made up her mind and would not waste any more time with him. After they separated, she went directly to the side hall where Qing Wan was. This time she did not get into trouble again.
, but walked towards the main entrance in a grand manner. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw a group of guards blocking the door. When they saw her, they knelt down and saluted: "See you, Your Royal Highness."
Ji Lingxi waved her hand in a pretentious manner and said, "No need to be too polite. I heard that the eldest lady of the Qing Mansion is here. I am an old acquaintance of her, so I came here to see her."
But she saw the leading guard standing in front of her, saying as if she was not ready to let her go: "Your Highness, please stay. The Emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to approach this place."
"I just went in to see her and talk to her. You don't need to be so nervous. Besides, I went in alone, how can I let her run away?"
Seeing that the other party was guarding her tightly, Ji Lingxi said again: "If you really can't make the decision, the worst thing you can do is ask your father for instructions. If your father says you won't let him in, then I'll leave now. But don't blame me.
The palace didn’t remind you that my father is not in good health right now, are you sure you want to bother him over such a trivial matter?”
