The imperial edict was brought to the palace, and the old lady took Li Xutang out to receive it.
The person who came to announce the decree was Eunuch Song from the palace. Seeing the two of them, he was still very confused and asked a puzzled question.
"Isn't Madam Lu San at home? Why don't you come out to receive the order?"
Before the old lady could say anything, Li Xutang was eager to show off and said with a smile.
"Si Ning killed the mother of the Prince of Huainan. We have locked him up. When Eunuch Song goes back, he can report to the emperor and the princess and tell them not to be angry. He will be sent to the princess's house immediately to kill or cut into pieces. Our Lu family will definitely No complaints!”
Eunuch Song was dumbfounded, "You locked up Mrs. Lu?"
"That's right, my mother also ordered people to hit a hundred dozen batons. They should be hitting them right now. She cares about human life. My mother is strict in running the family and will never indulge such a person!"
"Shut up, what are you talking about with Eunuch Song about this kind of family matter? Eunuch Song, I wonder why you are here today?"
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law play a white face and the other a bad face.
Thinking that everything is perfect, who would have thought that Eunuch Song said with a look of disgust.
"Mrs. Qin's condition has improved, and Mrs. Lu San has made great contributions. The prince of Huainan went to the palace in person to request a favor for Mrs. Lu San. The emperor issued a decree to confer Mrs. Lu San as a first-grade imperial concubine. How dare you hit her? "
Eunuch Song's voice was high-pitched, and he picked up the last note, with surprise and anger.
Li Xutang was immediately dumbfounded, and the old lady was even more shocked and froze on the spot.
Mrs. Qin's illness is cured. Has Si Ning been cured?
But how is this possible!
Si Ning is just a concubine. Not to mention medical skills, she has never learned music, chess, calligraphy or painting...
How can one be cured?
The old lady came back to her senses and asked tentatively.
"Mr. Song, are you mistaken? Si Ning..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Eunuch Song.
"Are you questioning the Emperor? Are you saying that the Emperor has been deceived?"
The old lady was so frightened that she knelt down and hurriedly explained.
"Eunuch Song, I really don't mean this. In fact, my third wife is just a concubine and has never studied medicine!"
Eunuch Song snorted coldly and was speechless to the two people in front of him.
All the wealth and wealth in the world have fallen into their family, but there is still reason to extrapolate it.
Si Ning has become a first-grade imperial concubine. Even if General Lu really has some shortcomings, the Lu family will not be looked down upon.
The Lu family is so ignorant. It seems that the rumors are true. Mrs. Lu doesn't despise General Lu, nor does she despise this daughter-in-law.
Eunuch Song glanced at the two of them coldly and lost his patience.
"Please quickly invite the third lady out. The Za family are still busy returning to the palace to reply to the decree."
When Si Ning came out, he was held out by two maids.
I didn't even have time to change my clothes, and there were still blood stains.
Eunuch Song was so frightened that he shouted twice that he was going to die, and hurriedly went to help Sining.
When I got there, I felt it wasn't quite right, so I stood there and stamped my feet anxiously.
"The third lady is injured like this, so there is no need to come out to receive orders. Zajia, please go back and rest."
"Thank you very much, Eunuch Song."
Si Ning's face turned pale and he forced a smile.
But that smile was uglier than crying, and it made people feel distressed.
After saying that, he was about to kneel down. Seeing this, Eunuch Song quickly helped him up.
"Since the third lady is injured, there is no need to kneel down to receive the order. The Za family will tell the emperor about it when we return, and I believe the emperor will not blame her."
Si Ning didn't show any pretense, "Thank you so much, Eunuch Song."
The two people on the side were frightened when they heard these words. They beat Si Ning because they were sure that Si Ning had killed Mrs. Qin. Neither the Marquis nor the eldest princess would let it go.
But now the enemy had become a benefactor, and Eunuch Song's words made both of them change their expressions.
Eunuch Song was a person close to the emperor, and he had been favored by Lu Hanxiao before, otherwise he would not have made such a trip for such a trivial matter.
Seeing that the benefactor's wife had been bullied like this, she gritted her teeth with hatred and glared fiercely at Old Mrs. Lu and Li Xutang who were standing aside.
The two of them were so frightened that their legs weakened and they knelt down directly.
Eunuch Song didn't even stop the two of them, opened the imperial edict and started reading.
"According to the imperial edict of Heaven, the third wife of the Lu family, Si Ning Shu, is of careful nature, diligent and submissive, harmonious and pure, and capable of restraining her inner integrity. She is now canonized with a life edict. I hereby ennoble her!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."
Although Si Ning does not need to kneel, kowtow is indispensable.
With the help of the maid, he kowtowed and thanked him, and Eunuch Song quickly helped him up.
"Third Madam, take good care of yourself. The Emperor has said that he will let you into the palace another day. He wants to see you. This is Third Madam's blessing."
Si Ning smiled lightly and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love, and thank you, father-in-law, for taking this trip."
She winked at Qiu Ju, who stepped forward and took out a bag of silver and handed it to Eunuch Song.
Eunuch Song didn't refuse when he saw it, and put it into his sleeves with a smile.
Si Ning accompanied Eunuch Song and exchanged some pleasantries before Eunuch Song was about to leave.
Li Xutang and the old lady finally came to their senses and hurriedly chased after them and explained.
"Eunuch, this is all a misunderstanding. You must have a nice word with the emperor when you return. Our Lu family is here for the eldest princess."
The old lady came in a hurry and didn't bring any money. She took off the bracelet from her hand and put it into Eunuch Song's hand.
As a result, Eunuch Song dodged away and didn't pick up her things at all.
The old lady's face turned pale and she was embarrassed to explain, but Eunuch Song had already got on the carriage and drove away.
"Mother, what should we do? If this dead eunuch talks to the emperor, my husband will not be affected, right? Now that Brother Tiger has entered the military camp, he will not be sent back, right?"
"Shut your crow mouth!"
The old lady scolded angrily and said to the mother-in-law beside her.
"Go to the eldest princess's mansion to inquire and find out what happened?"
Compared to Li Xutang's panic, the old lady was much calmer.
After giving the instructions, he walked up to Sining's courtyard.
Si Ning had already returned to the room. When Lu Hanxiao saw her embarrassment, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"what happened?"
Si Ning sat on the bed, took off his shoes, and then replied casually.
"Lie down quickly. Your good mother will come to kill you soon. If she sees you intact, she will probably be in trouble."
Lu Hanxiao only knew that Si Ning was called over by the old lady, but he didn't know what happened next.
When he saw her come back covered in blood, his first reaction was to kill the bastard who hurt her.
At this moment, I saw that her expression was as usual, and there was no sign of pain at all.
She frowned and lay down on the imperial concubine's bed as she said.
As soon as he lay down, Qiu Ju came in and reported that the old lady was coming this way.
Si Ning raised his eyebrows at Lu Hanxiao, with a cunning look in his eyes.
"Please watch the opera, and you will be given money after watching it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pinched himself, and his eyes filled with tears.
Lu Hanxiao, "..."
