Chapter 028: The Catastrophe of Life and Death
"It's your business, I don't care." Jian Ning spread her hands and said. Anyway, Long Zeye is also very proficient, and it may not be possible for Long Zening to gain anything.
Naturally, in order to thank Long Zening for coming over today, Jian Ning also deliberately cooked a delicious meal for Long Zening. Long Zening praised the food, and praised the craftsmanship better than the craftsmanship of the old imperial chef in his restaurant.
Because Long Zening still had something to do, he was about to leave after a short break after eating. Originally, Long Zening planned to send Jian Ning back to the palace first, although Jian Ning was the owner of Shiwei Garden, but she was the imperial concubine after all, and it was different from before, so it was really not appropriate to show her head often.
"I still want to stay for a while, you go first, and I'll go back in the carriage by myself in a while." Jian Ning smiled faintly and refused. She was very happy that the food garden could be reopened, and she hadn't shown her strength for a long time, and now her forehand was itching so much, how could she be willing to go back so soon.
"But this is a mixed bag, plus today is the opening day again, there are more people than usual, if you have any accidents, the royal brother is there" Long Zening said a little hesitant and worried.
"Don't worry, when I leave the palace, Ah Ye arranged a lot of guards and secret guards for me, and it will be fine." Jian Ning smiled and sent Long Zening to the door downstairs.
Long Zening saw that Jian Ning insisted, but after all, he followed her wishes, got on the horse and left alone.
After Long Zening left, Jian Ning went to the back kitchen again, and watched Uncle Lu methodically command and arrange everyone to work, and felt a lot more relieved.
Jian Ning was in a very good mood, and when she was free, she also personally gave guidance to several cooks in the food garden, and also taught them a few new dishes.
Suddenly. Everyone's feelings for Jian Ning instantly became cordial, and they didn't want to be a little afraid of her like they were at the beginning.
Looking at the hour, it looks like there is almost an hour left, and the palace door is about to close. Jian Ning called a few stewards over, and after carefully explaining it, she got into the carriage and left with Qingzhi.
"Niangniang, but go back to the palace directly?" Qing Zhi asked after helping Jian Ning sit still.
Jian Ning lifted the curtain a little. Look at the streets that have gradually returned to normal. He replied with a smile: "Let's go around again, it's been a long time since I've had a good look at the scenery of Kyoto, and I'll go back to the palace when the time is almost up."
Qing Zhi answered and then poked her head out to talk to the coachman. Then he sat back beside Jian Ning and asked, "If Niangniang is uncomfortable for a while, tell the slave maid that Miss Qianlan has made some medicine for Niangniang that can relieve Niangniang's discomfort in the car."
Qing Zhi took out a small porcelain bottle and said to Jian Ning seriously.
Jian Ning looked at the small porcelain vase, opened it and sniffed it. It smells good.
"I didn't let Qianlan make this medicine, I didn't expect her to think of it for me first." Jian Ning said with a smile. Remember when you came out here. As soon as she got into the carriage, whenever she encountered a little bump or a little long road, she would vomit and turn pale, which was really frightening.
But now it may be because of the more carriage rides. It may also be that there are enough cushions in the carriage, and her motion sickness is much better. Walking around the streets of Kyoto is usually not uncomfortable.
". This is not what Miss Qianlan thought of first, it was the last time the emperor accompanied you back to Yangxin County. I found that you were a little uncomfortable riding in the carriage, and when you came back, I specially asked Miss Qianlan to configure it for you." Qing Zhi had a smile in her eyes, and looked at Jian Ning with some ambiguity, "Niangniang, the emperor is really good to you, anyway, I have been by the emperor's side for so long, and I have never seen the emperor treat any woman so well."
"Okay, don't say good things for the emperor here, I will naturally keep his good in mind." Jian Ning held the porcelain vase in her hand, and there was a warmth on her face that could not be concealed.
As she walked, Jian Ning suddenly heard the sound of selling sugar gourds outside, and Jian Ning suddenly wanted to taste this ancient sugar gourd, so she stopped the carriage and asked Qingzhi to go down and buy it.
Not wanting to sit in the car and wait for the time, a white shadow suddenly entered her car. Jian Ning was frightened, and when she came to her senses and found that it was Wu Shi, she breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It seems that the emperor's secret guard still needs to be trained, and many people here actually let you into the car."
"That brother is afraid that he may not be able to see me if he practices for more than ten years." Wu Shi said sarcastically.
"You witches don't still have the ability to be invisible in their magical powers, do you?" Jian Ning looked at Wu Shi in surprise and asked.
"Nowhere in the world can you have that kind of ability?" Wu Shi glanced at Jian Ning indifferently and said, "But there is a kind of illusion in the secret book of the Wu Clan, if practiced well, it can play a role in confusing people. It can also achieve the effect of being elusive and coming and going without a trace."
"It looks like your injuries have almost recovered, otherwise you wouldn't be here now." Jian Ning looked Wu Shi up and down before speaking.
At this time, Qing Zhi got into the car with the sugar gourd she had just bought, but as soon as she got into the car, she didn't even have time to see Wu Shi's face clearly, and she didn't have time to scream, so she was fainted by Wu Shi.
The carriage continued to move forward, Jian Ning looked at Qing Zhi who had fainted, and said lightly: "You knocked her out, do you want to find me for something?"
Wu Shi's eyes flashed with appreciation, and then he spoke: "Sure enough, it's a smart person. Today I just want to tell you that you should pay extra attention in the near future, you may have a death disaster."
"Death?" Jian Ning instantly became solemn, and looked straight at Wu Shidao, "Why do you say this?"
"There was a change in the astrological signs a few days ago, and I was worried that something would happen, so I calculated a hexagram, but I didn't want to calculate that you might have a death catastrophe." Wu Shi said truthfully, "Because. . [,! I have lost too much before, and I have not fully recovered yet, so I am not sure if there will be any deviation in the divination this time, so I decided to remind you to be careful."
"Divination? I didn't think you still knew about divination and fortune-telling! "Jian Ning has never believed in numerology, because in modern times, the so-called half-immortal monks are too unreliable, and they can talk nonsense.
"The Wu clan is originally a god clan under the command of the heavens, although after thousands of years, there is not much left of the original divine power, but it can also get a glimpse of the heavenly opportunity" Wu Shi felt a little atmosphere for Jian Ning's skeptical attitude.
"In that case, can you tell me what this death will be? Who is trying to harm me?" Jian Ning still asked in disbelief.
"I haven't been able to figure it out yet, but I can remind you of one thing. I had suffered such a huge loss before, and now I have almost recovered, so Qiao Qi, who was slightly damaged at the beginning, must have already recovered."
Hearing him mention Qiao Qi, Jian Ning had to get serious, indeed Qiao Qi is now like a hidden bomb that doesn't know when it will explode.
"I'll write down what you said today, it's almost like a palace, you can leave first." Jian Ning frowned and said, "Also, when will Qingzhi wake up?"
"Half an hour later." The moment the words fell, Jian Ning only saw the fluttering curtain, and the figure of that person was already absent from the car.
Because of Wu Shi's words, Jian Ning's heart began to become a little uneasy, and she was completely unhappy as before.
But what Jian Ning didn't expect was that something even more uncomfortable was waiting for her. It can be said that what happened next caused an insurmountable gap between Jian Ning and Long Zeye, and once again changed the direction of Jian Ning's life.
Just returned to the Yongning Palace, Long Zeye was still dealing with things in the imperial study. Jian Ning originally planned to take a bath first, and washed the smell of oil smoke on her body first, not wanting to come before she and ordered someone to be hot water, Fengyi Palace sent someone over to say that the queen had something important to ask Jian Ning to come over.
The queen's personality Jian Ning also knew that since it was passed on, there must be something really important, so she just changed her clothes in a hurry and passed.
When she arrived in Fengyi Palace, Jian Ning was surprised to find that this time was completely different from the last time when it was empty, this time, in addition to the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting, there was also a person who surprised her a little, Liji.
Li Ji sat next to her, the expression on her face was a little complicated, and Jian Ning couldn't see it really at once.
Seeing Jian Ning coming in, Li Ji immediately got up, and after Jian Ning thought that the queen had saluted, she also respectfully saluted Jian Ning.
After seeing the ceremony, Le Ling asked Jian Ning to sit down on the chair on the other side. She first looked at Li Ji, then looked at Jian Ning, and said lightly: "This time I called Concubine Yi over, it was not the meaning of this palace, it was Li Ji's request, saying that she had something to ask for."
"Something?" Jian Ninghu looked at Liji and Leling suspiciously, when will Leling come forward for this kind of thing, and if he really has something to ask for himself, he can go directly to Changle Palace to ask for a meeting, why turn around and let Xiahou Leling come forward?
"The queen is the master of the harem, if there is any difficulty, you should ask the mother for help, why do you want me to help?" Jian Ning had a smile on her face, and she didn't know how to reply.
"Queen Mother, Concubine Yi Niangniang, please make sure that you protect your concubines and give birth to the imperial heir safely." At this time, Li Ji suddenly knelt on the ground and said towards Le Ling and Jian Ning.
"The Emperor? Are you pregnant?" Jian Ning instantly captured this news, and she didn't know what her heart was feeling at that moment. I finally found out that I had a good impression of Long Zeye, but I didn't want him to have a child with another woman.
"The concubine has asked the imperial doctor to confirm again and again, and the concubine is indeed nearly two months pregnant." Liji said with a hint of shyness and joy on her face, and a hint of worry.
Nearly two months? Jian Ning calculated in her heart, so it was time for Long Zeye to come back from Yangxin County alone? At that time, the poisonous man had just appeared in Kyoto, and he didn't expect Long Zeye to still be in the gentle township. (To be continued)
