That night, Xiao Jingheng's arm was tightly held by Chu Yunning, and half of his body curled up. From time to time, he turned his head to look at the sleeping person.
It is hard to imagine that Chu Shanggong, who has always been very strict with himself, would lose his temper and get drunk one day.
He summoned the secret guards to ask: "Why does Chu Shang Palace want to drink with Murong Lingwan?"
The secret guard shook his head and said he didn't know.
Xiao Jingheng waved his hand and asked people to step back. From time to time, he reached out and touched Chu Yunning's forehead, and then he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she had no fever.
It wasn't until daybreak that Beibei came to greet him. Xiao Jingheng hesitated for a moment and didn't know how to send Beibei away.
Fortunately, Eunuch Mo was clever and stopped the people at the door and coaxed Beibei to leave. Xiao Jingheng was relieved.
It was daybreak, and the person on the bed showed no sign of waking up. Eunuch Mo asked quietly through the door: "Your Majesty, do you want to pass on the meal?"
I've been hungry all day, so it's not like this if I don't eat.
Just when Xiao Jingheng was about to speak, the person on the couch opened his eyes with a whimper, stared at him half awake, and blinked. Xiao Jingheng's heart almost melted, and he was still vaguely savoring the sweet taste of ice on his lips.
He cleared his throat and was about to explain, but saw her closing her eyes again, turning over and continuing to sleep. After a while, she heard shallow breathing again.
Xiao Jingheng's arm was free, and it took him a while to relieve the numbness. He stood up and told Eunuch Mo to ask Bixiu to come over and serve him.
She slept for two days and two nights. She was finally woken up by hunger. She held her rumbling stomach and stood up on her elbows.
"Miss, you are now awake. I will ask the imperial kitchen to serve you some meals." Bi Xiu supported her and did not forget to give instructions to the palace maid not far away.
Chu Yunning rubbed the center of her eyebrows, and after a while her head gradually became clear: "How is Murong Lingwan?"
"Still asleep."
Murong Lingwan's situation was not much better than that of Chu Yunning, and she slept so hard that she didn't know what was right or wrong.
After a while, breakfast was served. Two kinds of porridge and some pickled pickles, pickled radish and pickled baby potatoes. They looked tempting.
Xu was very hungry. She drank two bowls of porridge and ate a few slices of ham before she put down her chopsticks and asked what was going on with the Yao family.
"The Marquis of Changyang has rushed to the west overnight. It happened that a strong wind blew in the west yesterday, and catkins were flying all over the city. The two father and son of the Yao family have been infected, and they are offering rewards all over the city to find famous doctors."
Xiao Jingheng just came back from the morning. He stood at the door for a while before coming in. He smiled helplessly and said: "Aning, you should take a good rest. I can handle these things."
"Aren't you used to worrying?" Chu Yunning stuck out his tongue playfully and asked, "Has the emperor had breakfast?"
"Used it."
So the breakfast was taken away and replaced with tea. Chu Yunning's cup was milk tea with some honey and fruits.
"Miss, this tea was ordered by the emperor." Bixiu explained.
Chu Yunning nodded and drank more than half of the cup in one breath before putting it down. Sure enough, her body felt much warmer.
Xiao Jingheng squinted at Bixiu, and when the others withdrew in awe, he asked, "Why do you want to drink with Murong Lingwan?"
That night, he heard with his own ears that Chu Yunning comforted Murong Lingwan by example. As far as he knew, it was probably the first time the two of them met.
When did we become so close?
The family behind Murong Lingyuan had neither power, wealth, nor military power, and could only be regarded as middle-class among the officials in the imperial court.
Chu Yunning blinked mysteriously: "What I do must be useful, you will know in the future."
"Then you promise me you won't drink so much anymore."
There are still more than half of the people in Xihai's harem who have not been cleaned up. If these people have evil intentions, he is worried that it will be detrimental to her.
"Okay." Chu Yunning was depressed. She just wanted to have a few drinks with Murong Lingwan, but who knew she was so drunk.
It's really a mistake.
Chu Yunning looked up and suddenly saw Xiao Jingheng's unnatural expression, and couldn't help but ask: "Have I ever done anything transgressive while drunk?"
She considers herself to be a good drinker, and falls asleep after drinking too much. However, one characteristic is that the drunkenness comes later, and she is still conscious before she actually falls asleep.
Xiao Jingheng cleared his throat and shook his head: "Not really."
"That's good."
The two chatted for a while, and then the news of General Yao Yuan's sudden death came, and Xiao Jingheng immediately rushed to the main hall.
Bixiu also poked her head: "Miss, Mrs. Hou is looking for you."
Chu Yunning touched the tip of her nose. She was not awake yet and did not want to pay attention to Mrs. Hou, that is, Yao Shuangyan. She yawned.
"When I got back to her, she said that I was suffering from cold and it was not suitable to see people."
"yes."
What she was most concerned about now was Miss Murong San, so she asked again: "Where is Murong Qinwan?"
"Miss, Miss Murong San went on a study tour and has not returned yet. I have inquired and found out that Miss Murong San and the one in the palace are biological sisters. They were sent to relatives in other provinces for foster care a few years ago and were later sent to study tour.
"
Chu Yunning nodded.
It was getting dark soon, but Yao Shuangyan still didn't leave and knelt at the door of her palace. In desperation, she had no choice but to meet someone.
"Please let the Yao family go." Yao Shuangyan clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves. She never thought that her father and brother would be attacked after being so far apart.
Father and brother have always been very cautious, and they have maintained peace and harmony in the west for so many years. However, Chu Yunning wanted to deal with the Yao family, and something really happened to the Yao family.
Therefore, it must have been done by Chu Yunning.
"Mrs. Hou asked the wrong person. I, a small minister, can't take care of that much.
"Chu Yunning pretended to be helpless. If she were the emperor, she would have killed everyone in the Yao family long ago. With so many soldiers and horses in her hands, she allowed the enemy to come and go freely. If she didn't kill such people, it wouldn't be enough for the people to get angry.
"I know that you have superb medical skills and can save my brother. I can persuade him to
Hand over military power." Yao Shuangyan was really panicked, she was afraid that if the delay continued, her brother would not be able to save it.
The Yao Army's 300,000 troops would be easily shaken without a commander, and she heard that several lieutenants had already defected to the imperial court.
"I know it was you who gave the poison, and the antidote is also in your hands..."
"Mrs. Hou, be careful." Chu Yunning hurriedly stopped Yao Shuangyan's words: "I am in the palace and haven't even left the capital, how can I poison you?"
Seeing that she refused to admit it, Yao Shuangyan gritted her teeth tightly, furious but unable to do anything to her. She could only watch as the other party used despicable means to erode the Yao family bit by bit.
"If people don't know anything unless they do it themselves, why bother to make certain things clear." Yao Shuangyan knelt in front of Chu Yunning: "The Yao family army has very hard bones. Even if there is no coach, if they know that the coach was killed, they will definitely
If chaos breaks out, why don't you save your brother, I can help you persuade him, and we can each take a step back."
Chu Yunning pretended to be confused; "Mrs. Hou, you asked the wrong person. You should ask the emperor to order a thorough investigation to find out who killed General Yao. As for saving people, as long as General Yao returns to Beijing, I will do it."
Don’t hesitate to take action.”
"What if you go to the west?" Yao Shuangyan blurted out.
