Chapter 136: Scheming
The emperor was suffocated, and of course he understood that it was Ning Derong who saved the empress dowager. However, Ning Derong was locked in a dead prison for half a month. Why did he have the nerve to put down his face and say such words? Hearing Ning Xianbi specifically emphasized this point, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little angry and thought, I didn't know if it was your third grandfather who saved it? Isn't it okay if I don't kill him? Do I also want me to admit my mistakes in this kind of thing? Then what did I become?
But then I thought about it, Ning Xianbi's personality that is not proud and loyal, is also worthy of praise, so I suppressed the anger in my heart and said warmly: "Okay, let's see you haven't slept all night, go and have a good rest. Oh, you said yesterday that my eyes were covered in blood, and today I feel a little uncomfortable. If you have any folk remedies, I will use it for me."
Ning Xianbi thought you would be fine if you slept hard for ten hours. But of course she didn't dare to say this, so she could only smile and said, "The emperor has just overworked with his eyes these days. If he doesn't want to take medicine, he can just take a hot towel and apply a hot compress for one or two hours, and he can also rest."
The emperor nodded, he was going to court, so he left after saying a few words. Then the queen and the concubines came to visit, without further ado.
Ning Xianbi had nothing to do now, and suddenly remembered that the empress dowager was old and weak, and was bedridden for half a month. She didn't know if there were bedsores under her body. These palace maids were afraid that they might not dare to move her. So she quickly directed everyone to turn the empress dowager over. Fortunately, the empress dowager was well nourished all year round and had a little fat body. Even so, there was a broken skin on the tip of the bones.
Ning Xianbi quickly applied some herbs. At this time, there was no purple potion. However, the situation was not serious. It would be enough to turn over after a while. Because she explained the reasons to everyone, the palace maids and nannies suddenly realized and quickly said that they would do the same.
Just as the explanation was made, a little eunuch came in to report that the three young masters from Prince Rui's mansion came to visit the empress dowager.
Although Ning Xianbi was grateful to Shen Qianshan for this incident, she didn't want to see him. After all, her lifelong happiness was more important, so she went back to the room.
But I heard the footsteps outside, and soon Zhou Xin's voice came: "Where is Miss Six? Please come out to meet. I still have some things to ask about my grandmother's situation."
Ning Xianbi patted her forehead with her hand, most afraid of meeting such a arrogant guy who doesn't follow the rules. Sure enough, a palace maid came to invite her. In desperation, Ning Xianbi had to go out.
But this time it was not Shen Qianshan himself, and his two cousins and Zhou Xin, who finally faced him, and Ning Xianbi didn't feel very different. After seeing each other's courtesy, Shen Qianyue smiled and said, "Miss Six, how is the Empress Dowager's condition?"
Ning Xianbi explained a few words. Then Shen Qiancheng and Zhou Xin also asked a few questions. This is the condition of the empress dowager. After asking these routines, they had nothing else to ask. The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
At this time, Shen Qianshan smiled and said, "Miss this time, I'm afraid that the emperor will keep you here and wait until the empress dowager recovers. But I don't know what the situation is going on in the Earl's Mansion. I'm going to visit the old lady later. I wonder if there is anything that the girl needs to take?"
Zhou Xin's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Okay, this idea is good. I'll go with you later. I haven't seen Jiang Jing for a long time."
Chen Qianshan glanced at him and smiled and said, "The Fourth Emperor Brother is going, so there is no problem. But you have to ask for leave from Concubine Rong first. Let's talk about it if you can leave the palace."
Zhou Xin lost his face and muttered, "Really, why do you have to go to my mother's place to ask for leave? Just go to the Queen's place to ask for leave. The Queen is the lord of the Six Palaces..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw Chen Qianshan shook his head and said, "You don't know the queen's temper, so you won't be the master of this for you."
Of course, I can't make decisions. Ning Xianbi knew that Zhou Xin's mother was from the Chunfei's sect, so Zhou Xin went further and further with Shen Qianshan and the prince. She just didn't know what would happen in this life. In this case, how could the queen make decisions for Zhou Xin? Isn't this arousing his mother's jealousy and anger?
Zhou Xin also knew this truth, so he stopped talking about it now. Chen Qianshan turned his gaze back to Ning Xianbi, and his eyes were shining at her.
"Thank you, the third young master. I have nothing to say to my grandmother and ask her to take good care of her health. I just said that I know everything. Please don't worry too much." Ning Xianbi finally thanked Chen Qianshan for her blessing. She felt a little sad: After all, she was the man she loved in her previous life. How could he not be moved at all with such caring concern to him in this life?
But it is precisely because of this that her hatred for Chen Qianshan is unforgettable. Although she can be calm on the surface for this man, she seems to have no love or hate, but Ning Xianbi is very clear in her heart that she hates Chen Qianshan, and she doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes. Even if he seems to like himself in this life, what if it's just a man's conquest. If she is really stupid enough to fall in love with him and marry him, it may take a few days before the freshness passes, and her strong wife will be abandoned again.
No, this would never happen. Ning Xianbi clenched her fists in her sleeves: So, she would never love him again, let alone marry him again. If she could make him remember him for the rest of her life, it would seem good. This is the love he owes him in this life, so she will repay it together in this life.
When Chen Qianshan heard Ning Xianbi's gentle tone, his heart immediately became excited, and he felt that it was extremely glorious and happy to do such a little thing for her at this time. Therefore, after coming out of the palace, he passed by Chen Qiancheng and Shen Qianyue and came to the Earl's Mansion.
Zhou Xin did not ask for leave after all, so when he met Jiang Jing outside the second gate, Chen Qianshan couldn't help but make a joke. He now liked Jiang Jing much, and the other party was already engaged, but Ning Xianbi did not stop it, which means that the cousins did not have a private relationship as they thought before.
When he saw him, Jiang Jing was also very happy and hurriedly accompanied him to Ningxinyuan. While asking someone to invite Ning Shilan and the young masters, he smiled bitterly: "Since the sixth sister left yesterday, no one in the Earl's Mansion was not worried. Even I didn't sleep last night, let alone the old lady and aunt and uncle. The third young master came here in time today. Since the empress dowager survived last night, I think it was my sister's medicine that worked, which was really good."
Chen Qianshan nodded and said, "That's right. I'm just a little strange. Why did you go directly to find my father? In terms of reason, you should find me first. For this kind of thing, my father and I are always more powerful than my father alone."
Jiang Jing was stunned for a moment before he realized that Chen Qianshan was referring to him who was instructed by Ning Xianbi to find Shen Mao, begging him to remind the emperor Xuan Ning Xianbi to enter the palace when the empress dowager was in a critical moment. Considering the character of the third prince, he did not dare to say it directly, so he thought about it: "I was completely confused at that time. The sixth sister handed me this matter. Why did I think so much for a while? I just thought that Lord Shen was a cabinet minister and was deeply trusted by the emperor, so it was absolutely right to find him."
Chen Qianshan said "um" and did not doubt his words. He shook his head and said, "It's good that my father is deeply trusted by the emperor, but this time, because of Mr. Ning's previous lessons, the emperor refused to agree at first. Fortunately, I was begging next to me, so I gave him a chance." He was not a person who liked to show off his credit, but this was related to his image in Ning Xianbi's heart, so he must be high-profile.
Jiang Jing looked at Chen Qianshan in surprise. Finally, the guy's shame was not eaten by the dog. He coughed slightly and concealed his guilt and awkwardness.
Fortunately, he had already entered the second gate at this time. Ning Chexuan, Ning Cheshou and others were about to go out. When they saw them, they couldn't help but show ecstasy on their faces. They ran up and pulled Chen Qianshan and said, "Third Young Master, it's great that you are here. I don't know if you can enter the palace. The sixth sister (sister) hasn't come back yet and there is no letter. I'm so anxious."
Chen Qianshan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just came out of the palace. The sixth girl is fine, so let me talk to the old lady." Before he finished speaking, Ning Chexuan and Ning Cheshou were both overjoyed and pulled him to the Ning Xinyuan of the old lady Jiang.
At this time, a whole family, except for Ning Shibo, who had real power and official positions, had to go to the yamen to be on duty, everyone was guarding in front of Old Mrs. Jiang. Everyone didn't sleep all night, fearing that the order to confiscate the house and exterminate the clan would come down.
The Fushou Hall, which was lively in the past, was silent. You could only hear the sound of fine breathing. Suddenly, the footsteps outside were heard, and then the girl's voice sounded: "The third young master is here."
Everyone was stunned and thought to themselves who would come to the door at this time? When they reacted, they found that it was really awesome. Even the reserved women in their daily lives couldn't help but stand up together.
Chen Qianshan had seen the gift to Mrs. Jiang, and sat beside her and smiled and said, "Don't worry, old lady, although I was not in the palace yesterday and I don't know the specific incident, the empress dowager was originally asserted by the imperial physicians that she could not survive last night. After the sixth sister took the medicine, her breath was still stable. Now it seems that she has to speed up the time to find a famous doctor. I also received the errand assigned by the emperor and I will go there later. It was just because the sixth sister was afraid that the old lady and aunts would worry, so she asked me to come and tell me."
If Ning Xianbi was here, when she heard Chen Qianshan's words, she would definitely jump up and call him despicable. It was this guy who volunteered to come over, but now she has become her own instructions to come.
Chen Qianshan saw that Old Mrs. Jiang and others had a look of surprise in his eyes, and he felt a little proud. He wanted to say this on purpose, making the elders of the Ning family mistakenly think that Ning Xianbi is close to him.
At that time, as long as someone is sent to propose marriage, they will not object. Even if Ning Xianbi is not willing, she will always be embarrassed to fight for the marriage in front of her elders, right? Then the matter between herself and the Sixth Girl will come naturally. As for relationships, well, relationships need to be cultivated slowly. They don’t know their parents before marriage, and their relationships are still very good after marriage?
