Si Ning's blood soaked half of his dress, and the hall was in chaos.
The emperor ordered people to carry Si Ning to the harem, but Lu Hanxiao stopped him.
"I don't trust anyone. I want to follow Aning."
Men outside the harem were not allowed to enter, and this rule could not be broken. In the end, Lu Hanxiao personally drove the man back to the Ning'an Marquis Mansion.
The emperor sent an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Si Ning.
The imperial doctor came out of the room, not only his face was ugly, but his heart was also trembling.
He walked up to Lu Hanxiao and polished what he had just thought about for a long time.
"General Lu, you are still young. You need to be more open-minded. The key is to comfort the third lady more."
Lu Hanxiao stood still. The imperial doctor did not dare to stay longer, fearing that he would be implicated.
When he returned to the palace to resume his duties, the emperor was pacing in the imperial study.
Everything that happened today kept flashing through his mind, and finally he threw an imperial platform directly to the ground.
The serving eunuch and maidservant knelt on the ground, not daring to take a breath.
When the imperial doctor saw this scene, his heart was in his throat, fearing that he would be implicated.
The emperor looked at him on the ground and asked in a deep voice about Si Ning's situation.
The imperial doctor lowered his head and said tremblingly, "Back to the Emperor, Mrs. Lu's pregnancy...cannot be saved..."
Boom!
A tea cup was smashed over, and the imperial doctor was cut on the face by the fragments, and he didn't dare to move.
"waste!"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
The emperor's chest rose and fell vigorously in anger, and he drove everyone out angrily.
The eunuch supervisor carefully accompanied him, handed over a cup of hot tea, and consoled him.
"Your Majesty, please be careful..."
The emperor still didn't move, standing there not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while he said to the eunuch beside him.
"Grind ink for me..."
On the day of Si Ning's miscarriage, an imperial edict arrived at the eldest princess's mansion.
The eldest princess was fascinated by the imperial edict and was so angry that she threw herself in the room.
Originally, the emperor's grounding of her was just a verbal statement, but now he has issued an imperial edict, which is equivalent to telling the world that as the eldest princess, she has shortcomings in character and is not worthy of being a role model for women in the capital. She is ordered to reflect in the palace and cannot go out without being summoned.
The eldest princess never expected such a result.
I thought it was Si Ning who was unlucky, but he shot himself in the foot.
She thought this was the worst outcome, but she didn't expect that at the same time as the imperial edict was issued, rumors spread in the capital that the eldest princess had used her status to absorb a large amount of money, and when the incident came to light, the dirty water was poured out on Mrs. Lu.
Most of this kind of thing is spread by word of mouth among the people, and everyone is happy to hear such rumors.
In addition to power, reputation is also important to the royal family.
The eldest princess's reputation among the people was completely ruined, but Si Ning's reputation was improved even further.
…
Two wintersweet trees were planted in front of the main house of Qingfeng Garden. They were in full bloom in the twelfth lunar month, with winding branches and a fragrant fragrance in the shadows of the trees.
Si Ning sat in the house, admiring the scenery outside through the window.
The pale face before was no longer there, replaced by a face full of contentment.
The eldest princess thought she could hide the truth, but she didn't know that Si Ning had already taken precautions.
She thought that Si Ning didn't understand anything, but Si Ning knew that what she feared most about this kind of disaster relief work was money and food storage.
So she begged Lu Hanxiao early in the morning and asked him to help her hire a highly respected gentleman from the Ministry of Household Affairs. It was best for this person to be inconspicuous, with a low status but a good reputation.
Si Ning would not get involved in money matters. With such a person to testify for him, he would not be afraid of being criticized if anything happened.
It's just that such a person is not easy to find, but Lu Hanxiao naturally thought of Mr. Jiang.
The most difficult thing is solved, what remains is how to store the grain.
The eldest princess sent a maid to remind Si Ning not to let the food become contaminated with moisture, and Si Ning guessed the eldest princess's plan.
She didn't understand the celestial phenomena, but she could ask Qin Tianjian to confirm that it would rain in the past few days. It was self-evident what the eldest princess's plan was.
"After this incident, the eldest princess's reputation will be damaged, and she will definitely hate me to death." Si Ning thought.
But she didn't care at all. There was no reason for others to bully her to the point of being bullied and why she should not fight.
Si Ning is not the kind of person who is easily bullied. She will not take the initiative to cause trouble, but if someone provokes her, she will not just let it go.
The eldest princess wanted to deal with Si Ning, but because of Qin Yi, Si Ning felt that men were a disaster.
In fact, she didn't understand the hostility of the eldest princess. She and Qin Yi met only a handful of times, and the only time they met alone was by accident.
She asked Qin Yi for help, but there was nothing to do with her.
Moreover, she is already married to Lu Hanxiao, so she will never get involved with Qin Yi.
When Lu Hanxiao came in, he saw Si Ning sitting on the bed concentrating, and asked curiously.
"What are you thinking about?"
Si Ning looked back and saw that the light happened to hit Lu Hanxiao's face.
I have to say that God still has his own preference, and Lu Hanxiao is extraordinarily handsome.
Not only his appearance, but also his face, just standing there, exuding an aura that was noble and noble that others did not have.
"What a disaster." When this thought flashed through his mind, Si Ning was stunned for a moment.
After coming back to his senses, he was a little curious and spoke out.
"Did you come to the Lu family when you were very young?"
Lu Hanxiao frowned slightly, "Have you been thinking about this?"
Si Ning said, "No, I'm just curious about you."
She wanted to know what kind of parents could give birth to someone like Lu Hanxiao.
She didn't say anything but Lu Hanxiao guessed what she was thinking and replied patiently.
"I have never met them. I have met the old Marquis since I can remember. He brought me back and taught me carefully."
He used the words "teaching carefully", which shows that Marquis Ning'an treats Lu Hanxiao well.
Realizing that the question he asked was a bit heavy, Si Ning changed the topic.
"Did the Emperor say anything?"
"The eldest princess has been given an imperial decree to ground her. She must not be able to come out for a while."
He spoke casually, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Si Ning.
Si Ning took the opportunity to get out of bed, but was stopped by Lu Hanxiao.
"what?"
"The imperial doctor said that this pregnancy will cause great harm to you and you will need to stay in bed."
Si Ning, "..."
Just as she was about to retort, Lu Hanxiao shook his head slightly at her, realized what he was doing and lay down again.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. It was Jiang Linrou who came to visit Si Ning.
Jiang Linrou didn't expect that Lu Hanxiao was there, so she asked him concernedly.
"Is third brother feeling better?"
Lu Hanxiao looked very calm and nodded. He did not answer, but turned to Si Ning and said.
"Lie still and I'll ask the kitchen to make some soup for you."
Si Ning nodded without interest and lowered his eyes.
Lu Hanxiao, who was about to leave, stopped again, walked to Si Ning, tucked the quilt for her, raised his hand and touched her head, giving instructions.
"wait me back."
Si Ning was stunned for a moment, but when he raised his eyes, the man had already turned around and left.
Jiang Linrou saw everything in her eyes and was slightly surprised.
She thought that the rumors outside were all false, but she, the third brother, actually had some feelings for Si Ning.
She has been there before, so she can naturally see that the friendship is not just an act.
But the strange thing is that the friendship is real, but the two of them don't seem to be familiar with each other.
