She raised her hand, and the injured area was covered with a layer of white plaster, which was a little cold.
After the court was over and the sky was bright, Wang Xi came again.
It was customary for her to drink the decoction.
This Bizi Tang has always been served by Wang Xi personally and never relies on others.
It seems that he is afraid that Cheng Ning will not take the medicine obediently and something will happen, so he always stares at Cheng Ning and drinks the medicine before leaving.
But now that Cheng Ning was ill, he didn't let him go.
Even Chunhua couldn't help it: "Father, this Bizi Decoction is harmful to the human body. My mother's illness is not cured yet, so she may not have any heirs. Can we just avoid this time?"
Wang Xi looked troubled: "Empress——"
"Understood, don't embarrass father-in-law."
Cheng Ning took it and drank it in one gulp.
The bowl hit the tray with a soft sound.
Wang Xi's eyes flashed, but he didn't say a word and went back to resume his duties.
Cheng Ning's illness progressed rapidly, and he had recurring fevers for several days.
But after that day, Wei Yanzhou never came.
Chunhua was heartbroken: "Your Majesty must have given the cold air to the empress, which made her fall ill like a mountain."
How can this be the case? The queen doesn't care even if she has a fever.
Cheng Ning contracted a cough that made his lungs hurt.
"He returned to Chengqian Palace from Fengluan Palace that night. He shouldn't be covered in wind and snow when he came out again."
The mood was the same. When I returned to Fengluan Palace, I wished I could stay far away from Cheng Ning.
But then it was with deep anger.
And that sentence: It would be better if you were not Cheng Ning.
What means?
If she were not Cheng Ning, how could she change the current situation?
Chunhua waved away the palace attendants, and then whispered: "Your Majesty, your Majesty went to the prison that night."
A trip to prison made him feel weird.
Who did he meet in prison?
Those who were imprisoned were all criminals, including members of the Cheng family.
His sudden change of mood after coming back can only be related to the Cheng family.
Cheng Ning raised his eyes: "Who told you?"
"Eunuch Wang Xi."
Wang Xi?
Wang Xi is obviously from Wei Yanzhou. Is his statement a hint or unintentional?
Fengluan Palace and his party were blocked back before her sister-in-law could even speak out because she was pregnant.
Cheng family, Cheng family.
Could it be that the sudden death of the late emperor was closely related to the Cheng family?
Is this why Wei Yanzhou's temperament changed drastically?
The last order given in Yong'an Palace must have come to fruition.
Because of new suspicions, she had to go again.
However, since Wei Yanzhou could not see anyone, she had no suitable reason to go——
Thinking of this, Cheng Ning flashed a candidate in his mind.
But there was no need for her to come to the door in person, the person would come to him on his own.
Cheng Ning didn't go to ask for permission for several days when he was ill, but he also asked someone to ask for leave.
But in Xie Nianyao's eyes, it was like a provocation.
Hearing that Ye Wei Yanzhou had come to Linhua Palace again, he showed his favor all night long.
All the efforts he had wasted that night were made to Cheng Ning's advantage!
She was so angry that her eyes were red.
However, after waiting for a while, Cheng Ning actually complained of illness and refused to come to say hello.
He must be looking for an excuse to show his favor and slap her in the face of a queen!
So on this day, she couldn't help but come to the door.
The sun was very good today, so Chunhua moved a chaise longue at the door for Cheng Ning to bask in the sun.
Xie Nianyao's hairpin can be heard outside the palace gate.
When she looked up, she was supported by two palace maids and came in elegantly dressed, as if she was here to ask for guilt.
"Cheng Ning! Did you do it on purpose?"
Cheng Ning just coughed for a while, suppressed it with pear soup, and then stood up and saluted.
"The Queen, Jin An, I wonder why the Queen is accusing you?"
Xie Nianyao pushed away the palace attendants. She wore dongzhu on her ears, showing off the queen's appearance.
He walked up to Cheng Ning, but because he was not as tall as her, he had to look up: "Are you still pretending? If you pretend to be sick and take a leave of absence, you won't come to say hello?"
"I'm so sick that I might offend you, and I still have the medical certificate from the hospital. I really am not faking it."
After saying that, he coughed again, until he bent over and looked in pain.
This is indeed not an act.
Xie Nianyao looked disgusted and took two steps back.
But looking at Cheng Ning's plain face, she couldn't get rid of her anger, and she wanted to make her feel unhappy no matter what.
After walking around Linhua Palace twice, she went to the courtyard with a pestle and said: "I lost a hairpin four days ago. You were the only one who was close to me that day, Tian Xing, search it for me!" "
"Empress! What does our empress want you to have a hairpin for?" Chunhua stopped her in a hurry.
Cheng Ning couldn't stop him in time, Chunhua had already been slapped on the face!
'Snapped! '
Xie Nianyao didn't hold back, and with Dankou in her hand, she scratched several bloody marks on Chunhua's face.
Chunhua was so angry that she was shaking all over, lying on the ground and almost crying.
But he didn't dare to speak for fear of causing trouble to Cheng Ning.
"You are a cheap servant, how dare you criticize me?" Xie Nianyao sneered coldly: "Why don't you go search for me!"
Tian Xing glanced at Chun Hua proudly, her eyes were extremely provocative: One must follow the right master, whoever is in a higher position will gain power.
She was about to step into the palace gate with contempt.
Everyone knew very well that the queen came here just to find trouble. It would not be a big deal if she lost a hairpin.
He was just looking for an excuse to make Cheng Ning unhappy.
The people in Linhua Palace did not dare to speak, and they all stood in a row.
"etc."
Cheng Ning spoke up.
Tianxing originally wanted to pretend not to hear, but then someone grabbed her wrist with a backhand, dragged her, and landed an equally heavy slap on her face.
'Snapped! '
Xie Nianyao went crazy instantly: "How dare you hit her?!"
She pulled Cheng Ning's clothes and was about to say hello to her face, but her wrist was grabbed halfway.
Even if she was injured, Cheng Ning's hand strength was more than enough to deal with a harem girl like her who had no fingers in the water.
Xie Nianyao was pinched in pain by her and became even more angry: "Come here! Hold her down for me!"
"My Majesty, you don't have to bother. You can search Linhua Palace if you want." Cheng Ning's voice was soft and slow: "It's just that if the hairpin cannot be found, your Majesty will give me an explanation."
"Explanation? The entire harem belongs to me. In the final analysis, you are just a lowly concubine. You are so good in bed that you can keep His Majesty. Do you think you are the real master?"
Xie Nianyao's words were unbearable, and her face was distorted.
The palace people around heard it and couldn't help but sneer.
But no one dared to attack Cheng Ning, they were all afraid of Marshal Cheng's remaining power.
Cheng Ning withdrew her hand and sighed with a chuckle: "When the late emperor was in power, he once asked women to practice internal discipline and not speak vulgarly. I am a queen who comes from a famous family, but it turns out that famous people also speak in such vulgar ways."
As soon as Cheng Ning finished speaking, Xie Nianyao's expression changed.
Even the palace attendants beside her laughed and pointed at Cheng Ning: "Do you know that you have violated a taboo?"
Cheng Ning replied innocently: "Why not only?"
"What the late emperor wants to learn is the female precepts! Cheng Ning, you despise the teachings of the late emperor so much, and you dare to accuse me!"
Now that Cheng Ning's mistake was caught, there was no need to search the palace.
She immediately ordered: "Concubine Xi despised the late emperor's admonition and was punished to kneel in Yong'an Palace for twelve hours to reflect, and copied the female precepts ten times to comfort the late emperor's spirit in heaven!"
Success flashed through Cheng Ning's eyes.
