Chapter 61: Entering the Palace (1)
After she said this, she fell straight to the ground, and Qin'er, who was standing behind her, quickly caught her.

Qin'er knelt on the ground, and panicked for a while, "Miss had a fever this morning, plus she has experienced so many things this day, and she can't bear it even if she is tired of traveling." β
An Hongxi turned to Feng Yuhai and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, go to Xuan Taiyi." β
After speaking, he picked up Wang Mengning from the ground and entered the dormitory.
Qin'er knelt on the ground and looked at his back, and for a while she couldn't tell whether the emperor's feelings for her young lady were really worried or she was acting on the spot.
Wang Mengning's heart was sick and her body was sick, and she lay down for eight days, and on the morning of the ninth day, she finally opened her eyes.
"Miss, you're awake. You don't know, I've been scared to death for the past few days, and the lord and lady heard that you were sick, so they rushed over from Jiangnan, so I'm going to tell them that you're awake. β
"Don't." Wang Mengning has just recovered from a serious illness, and her voice is still weak. She asked Qin'er to help her up, half-leaning on the edge of the bed, and then found herself in the room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"How did I get back?" She remembered that she seemed to have fainted in the palace. Or did An Hongxi figure it out and felt that she couldn't be forced to do what she didn't want to do, so she sent someone to send her back?
If that's the case, then she's really a blessing in disguise.
Qin'er brought the bowl of medicine that was still steaming on the table to her, Wang Mengning smelled the strong smell of herbs, frowned unhappily, but still reached out and took the bowl of jet-black medicine and drank it.
"Miss, when you were sick for a few days, you slept soundly, and kept calling the lord and the lady in your mouth, so the emperor ordered someone to send you back to the prime minister's mansion, and sent someone to Jiangnan to pick up the two elders."
"Hmph," Wang Mengning snorted coldly, "He might as well send me back to Jiangnan directly, what's the use of staying in this capital." β
"Miss, in the past few days that you have been in a coma, the emperor has announced to the world that you and the emperor will get married in seven days!" What other excuses and reasons are there to go back to Jiangnan?
"Seven days?" Wang Mengning looked at Qin'er in disbelief, "Why is it so fast?" "Is An Hongxi so impatient to marry her into the palace, why doesn't she think he is so interested in her.
"Hmm" Qin'er nodded, "The emperor said, the new emperor will ascend the throne, everything will be simple, and the money saved in the treasury will be used for the army and the herdsmen in the frontier." β
Wang Mengning smiled indifferently, "He can do whatever he wants." "In the end, she doesn't like him, it's okay to do this, if it's really a big deal, and it will be a big joke if she doesn't agree with the emperor in the future.
Qin'er saw that she was unhappy, so she comforted her and said: "Miss, don't worry, in the end, our Wang family is a big family, with a rich family background, and the lord and the lady only have one daughter, plus the uncle is the prime minister of the past, they will not let you be wronged if they say anything." The lord and the lady are already helping you prepare the dowry, even if you get married, you have to be beautiful. β
Wang Mengning could only smile bitterly in her heart, now even Qin'er doesn't understand her?
"Qin'er, you know, I don't want to marry at all." Before this, she never thought that she Wang Mengning would one day enter the palace as a royal concubine, and she was still under duress.
Qin'er looked at her bitter expression, and smiled more ugly than crying, "Miss and the Lord can't be together after all, instead of suffering for a long time, it's better to be calm and accept the facts." Forget the Lord, forget what happened to you and him, like an ordinary daughter-to-be, pay attention to the future husband, and your upcoming wedding. Perhaps, after a while, the young lady will feel that it is not so difficult to forget a person. Maybe after a while, Miss will find out that the emperor is actually good, and you will gradually like the emperor again. β
Hearing her say this, Wang Mengning was somewhat moved in her heart. She also knew in her heart that since she received An Hongxi's holy decree, the relationship between her and Duan Chenjing was completely over.
It's time to wake up from that flashy dream.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, An Hongxi is not so bad. However, she didn't know why he used so many people's lives to threaten her to let her enter the palace as his concubine?
It's just that she is the emperor and has supreme power, so naturally it is not her turn to figure it out without permission. Since you have decided to marry him, you must be ready to stay with him for the rest of your life, and it is really taboo to have a gap with him before getting married. Moreover, she is still a more traditional woman in her bones, marrying her husband, marrying a chicken and a dog and marrying a dog, she can no longer spend too much time on a person who has no ending.
Qin'er suddenly thought of something again, looked at her and said, "Miss, there is one more thing." Entering the palace with you this time, there are also the daughters of the household department scholars, the daughters of the Ministry of Works, the daughters of the military department, the daughters of the criminal department, and ......"
"Stop, stop" Wang Mengning interrupted her with a headache, in fact, she had already guessed that the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards, if she was really only accepted, it would be unreasonable. When he ascended the throne as the new emperor, he naturally had to win over several ministers of the court and the central government to consolidate his position. And the best way is to let their daughters enter the palace as concubines, which is a normal thing, isn't it?
"Miss, aren't you worried?"
Wang Mengning shrugged indifferently, "What do I have to worry about, when they enter the palace, the emperor will not set his eyes on me alone, and it is too late for me to thank them." β
"Miss, why don't you understand, since ancient times, where there were many women, there were many wrongs. Especially in this harem, there is a fight in the open and in the dark, Miss, you probably want to be alone, I'm afraid it's impossible. β
"Mengning, ......" Wang Mengning wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mrs. Wang who pushed the door in, Mrs. Wang saw that she was awake, and she couldn't care much, so she ran towards her without any image, and she was in tears to keep her.
Wang Mengning touched the scene, and she was also a little sad, she kissed Mrs. Wang's back to appease, "Mother's ......"
Mrs. Wang raised her head and wiped her tears, "You girl, it's really not worry-free, why did you fall ill, and you are still lying in bed for several days, but your father and I are in a hurry." Qin'er, too, this girl, if you wake up, you won't come over to report it, if I hadn't brought you porridge, I guess I wouldn't know if you woke up yet. β
Qin'er felt very aggrieved, what, it was obvious that the young lady wouldn't let her go.
"Mother, don't blame Qin'er, I just woke up and had something to ask her, so I pulled her and didn't let her go."
Mrs. Wang didn't blame Qin'er, but when she saw her daughter's emaciated body, her heart began to ache faintly, she reached out and touched Wang Mengning's face, and said distressedly: "You have taken good care of you since you were a child, and when have you been tortured like this." Moreover, when Wang Mengning woke up from illness this time, she was not as lively and clever as she was at the beginning, and she always felt that there was a faint sadness between her eyebrows.
Wang Mengning opened her mouth to break the sad atmosphere, "Oh, I'm so hungry, didn't you say that you brought porridge here, where is it?" β
Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, restrained her worried look, turned around and took a bowl of porridge from the tray in her hand and put it in her hand, "Be careful, it's hot." β
After drinking porridge, Wang Mengning and her mother sat in the house for a while, and saw that the sun was shining outside, so they proposed to go out for a walk.
Mrs. Wang looked at her and asked, "How is it, are you satisfied?" Although the emperor said that everything is simple, everything in his palace is simple, your father and I are just a daughter like you, and we will let you marry in style. Let's go, take you to see the dowry we have prepared for you. β
Wang Mengning greeted her with a smile throughout the whole process, and she tried her best to hide the sentimentality in her heart deeply, so that people could not see any clues.
Time passed in a flash, and in the past few days, Wang Mengning did not have the slightest joy of her daughter to be married, catering to all kinds of people who came to congratulate her during the day, and sat on the bed at night, thinking of Duan Chenjing.
She also thinks it's very strange, some people have been with him for less than a month, and every bit of being with him, even a look, or a word can evoke people's nostalgia, and it seems that no matter how nostalgic they are, they can't miss it.
Qin'er made the end of her bed and said to her: "Miss, go to bed quickly, tomorrow is your big day, it is estimated that you will start tossing in the morning, so take the time to rest more tonight." β
Wang Mengning shook her head, "I can't sleep, you can sit here and chat with me for a while." β
Qin'er sat down at the place of her fingers, "What does Miss want to talk about?" β
Wang Mengning sighed, "You said, I'm going to enter the palace tomorrow to be a concubine for An Hongxi, I always think that other men don't seem to be very good, but I just can't help but think about him, what should I do?" β
Qin'er also sighed, forgetting someone, how could she say forget it so easily?
"Miss, do you know that there is a miracle in the rivers and lakes that can make people selectively lose their memory?"
"What's a selective amnesia?"
Qin'er explained: "It's just that some Jianghu magic sticks can see through your memories, and then cast a method similar to witchcraft to erase the part of your memory that you want to lose. Some people also say that this is the part of the memory that the wizard let the Gu worm eat you, whether it is a person or an event, and you don't remember the part about him when you wake up the next day. β
"Huh? Isn't that painful? β
Obviously, Qin'er couldn't keep up with Wang Mengning's logic, "What's the pain?" "Isn't that great, I don't remember anything, and I don't have so many worries.
Wang Mengning didn't dare to agree, "Do you think, if you lose part of your memory in a good way, then your life will leave a blank, isn't it painful?" β
Qin'er stroked her forehead with a headache, "Miss, I mean, why don't you try to make yourself selectively amnesiac." β
Wang Mengning asked puzzledly: "What is the method of trying?" β
"That is, you put ...... about the Lord Oh no, that part of the memory of Lord Mu Qi was selectively forgotten, and when he woke up this morning and tomorrow, he would treat it as if he had never known this person, and he had never crossed paths. β
Wang Mengning thought silently for a while, then waved his hand at Qin'er and said, "You go down and rest, I'm going to sleep." β
Qin'er said that this method is not impossible, as long as she chooses to forget Duan Chenjing, forget everything that happened to him, and live a self-deceptive life, maybe she is acting, and she really forgets him?
Duan Chenjing, maybe we should really end it, whether it's a farce or a true feeling.
Qin'er helped her lie down, helped her extinguish the candle, went out softly and closed the door, and sat on the stone steps in front of her door, looking at the stars in the sky and contemplating.
Lord, the young lady will marry into the palace as a concubine tomorrow, do you really not do anything?
She is ready, as long as the Lord brings someone to rob the kiss, she will definitely actively cooperate and let him take the young lady away and fly away.
However, after waiting for so many days, she didn't see any movement from Duan Chenjing, and she gradually became disheartened.
However, what they didn't know was that Duan Chenjing experienced Wang Mengning's incident, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and he had not woken up since he fell that day.
Leng Chen pushed open the door of his room and said to Bai Furan, who was sitting next to his bed: "You have been sleepless for many days, go down and rest first, I will take care of him here." β
Bai Furan shook his head, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, but he still held his eyelids, "No, Lord this time, I always feel that it has something to do with me, if I can't see him wake up, I won't be able to rest well, so I might as well take care of him." β
Immediately after, Duan Chenjing's fingers moved, his eyelids fluttered slightly with his eyelashes, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Bai Furan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Lord, how are you feeling, is there anything uncomfortable?" β
Leng Chen grabbed his hand even more excitedly, "Chenjing, you finally woke up, if you don't wake up again, your lady will probably die of exhaustion on the edge of your bed, don't thank you quickly, she hasn't slept well in order to take care of you." β
Duan Chenjing looked at Bai Furan and bowed slightly: "Fortunately." β
Bai Furan shook his head, "It's okay, are you hungry or not, I'll go down and get you something to eat." β
Leng Chen wanted to scold her for being an idiot, "Oh, can you not be hungry, Chen Jing has been drinking porridge in addition to medicine these days, sister-in-law, go and cook something for him to eat, don't forget to cook more, because I'm hungry too." β
Bai Furan replied again and again, "Okay, I'll go down and cook it for you right away." β
Duan Chenjing looked at Leng Chen's happy expression, and withdrew his hand from his hand in disgust, "Why are you so happy?" "Red Sleeves has just died, and this kid's self-healing ability is too good.
Leng Chen didn't care about his dislike, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Of course I'm happy, don't you know, I've been so anxious these days, I can't eat or sleep all day long, you kid woke up in time, Wang Mengning will enter the palace tomorrow, you woke up today, say, are you going to take someone to rob your relatives?" β
Duan Chenjing chuckled in his heart, tomorrow? The one in the palace is probably afraid of long nights and dreams, right? He lowered his head and said, "No." β
Leng Chen looked at him incredulously, "Don't go?" Are you stupid, Wang Mengning, your favorite Wang Mengning will enter the palace tomorrow, and she will become the emperor's concubine when she enters the palace, if you don't rob it, do you have to call her a sister-in-law? β
Duan Chenjing raised his head and looked at him, "So what?" β
This time, Leng Chen's words were stopped, "Ru...... How is it? β
"The emperor has arrivedβ"
With the announcement of the eunuch, a bright yellow broke into their sight......
