Chapter 368: Prologue

On an ordinary night, it should have been as usual, when it was dawning, but I didn't want Ning Zhao to sleep, another conspiracy had already begun.

An hour ago.

"How?" Ning Lian walked out of the Liuliju box and went to a hidden corner, followed by a young woman, standing beside Ning Lian with her head bowed.

The woman didn't look up when she heard this, and replied softly and respectfully: "It's already been put in." ”

The corners of Ning Zhao's mouth slowly hooked, his eyes swept around, and he smiled lowly, "Ning Zhao, Ning Zhao, my sister has prepared a little surprise for you, I hope you can like it." ”

After that, her smile slowly increased, and the malice in her eyes had nowhere to hide, wanton and arrogant.

"Mother." Someone behind her called her.

Ning Jian restrained his expression, looked back lightly, and saw that the palace maid who was serving him had already arrived in front of him, and the palace maid bowed down and said, "The guests have arrived, just wait for you to go in and start the banquet." ”

"Okay." Ning Lian raised his chin, chuckled, raised his feet and walked towards the box.

When she walked to the door of the box, she paused, looked back at the woman who was following behind her before, the woman also looked at her, nodded slightly, Ning Lian hooked the corners of her lips with satisfaction, replaced it with a gentle smile, and stretched out her hand to push open the door of the box.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Ning Lian walked into the box, and the palace maid gently closed the box door behind her, and then returned to Ning Lian.

"It doesn't matter."

The county lord of the moon smiled and said: "Niangniang is really too polite, she has been taken care of by her mother month by month these days, it is really uneasy, she should have feasted Niangniang month by month, but she was preempted by Niangniang." ”

"Hahaha......"

A deep male voice sounded, and Master Chen, the Imperial Historian, touched his beard and glanced at Ning Hong, who was sitting opposite, and then smiled at the Moon-Seeking County Lord and Ning Lian:

"I didn't expect Niangniang to be so good with the county lord, the old man remembered that Niangniang used to have a very close relationship with Miss Hou, and he was worried that Miss Hou would have no one to accompany him after the accident, and now he sees that Niangniang is good with the county lord of Zhuyue, and the old man is relieved."

Speaking of Hou Qianqian, Ning Lian's face showed some gloom, and said, "After all, it was the palace that harmed Qianqian." ”

"It's all fate, no wonder Niangniang, who knew that this kind of thing would happen on an ordinary trip, the fourth princess, she ......"

Lord Chen sighed, waved his hand and said: "It's also the old man who said the wrong thing, it's just that, it's been so long, and the mother is about to let go, today's rare family banquet should be happy." ”

The lord of Zhuyue didn't come to Kyoto often, but he had heard about the four princesses before, so he opened his mouth to persuade him: "Yes, the matter has passed, and Niangniang doesn't need to be too sad, Miss Hou knows, and she doesn't want to see Niangniang so worried." ”

Ning Jian sighed, nodded, and then looked at the county lord of Zhuyue with a gentle smile, and said, "Don't just talk, move chopsticks." ”

"The last time I saw the county lord of Zhuyue, I liked the mutton here very much, and today I specially asked people to make a reservation in advance, and kept the best part of the meat on the sheep, and the county lord was satisfied with it."

The county lord was gracious, and everyone also moved their chopsticks and ate.

Only Ning Lian was the only one, picked up the teacup on the table and took a shallow sip, looked over the rim of the cup to look at a few people, and the mutton that a few people sent to her mouth, her eyes flashed, and finally disappeared in the shadow of the rim of the cup.

After three rounds of drinking, Ning Hong, who had been a little silent, also talked more.

Since the matter of Chen Qi, there has been a slight gap between Ning Hong and Master Chen, the imperial historian, until the Chen family died for no reason, and this gap has quietly widened.

If it weren't for the fact that Lord Chen in the DPRK also needed help, and everyone knew that the two of them had a deep relationship with their son-in-law, Lord Chen might have torn his face with Ning Hong a long time ago.

Later, Ning Jian became the prince's concubine again, how to say that Ning Jian was also Ning Hong's daughter, and Lord Chen then put down his mind to abandon Ning Hong.

After such a long time, Weng and his son-in-law got together again, and the two didn't have anything to say, and now they are drunk, so they have a little bit of what they once were.

Ning Jian took care of the county lord of Zhuyue, but he only ate some snacks in front of him, and as for the contents of the grunt pot, Ning Jian didn't move a mouthful.

Ning Jian has a body, and his taste changes from time to time, and others are not suspicious.

It was already close to the end of dinner, Lord Chen and Ning Hong each got into their own carriages, and Ning Jian personally sent the Lord of Zhuyue back to the mansion, and then returned to the East Palace.

Originally, it was the time to fall asleep, but Ning Lian was very energetic, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, so he was in a good mood to pick up the notebook that he had put down for a long time, leaned on the soft couch and looked up.

She's waiting, waiting for another good show to begin.

Ning Jian didn't wait long, but the result was not what he expected.

"What?!" Ning Jian sat up from the soft couch suddenly, looked at the waiter kneeling on the ground in shock, his voice trembled a little, and asked, "What did you just say?" What happened to the Imperial Doctor? ”

The chamberlain hung his head and repeated, "Imperial Envoy Doctor Lord Chen suddenly died half an hour ago!" The news has alarmed the emperor. ”

Ning Lian slumped on the soft couch suddenly, his eyes went from horror to disbelief, and after a while, Ning Lian regained a little reason, and asked the inner servant, "Who did the emperor send to investigate?" ”

"When the slave came back to report, the news had just reached the palace, and the slave didn't know who the emperor had sent." The chamberlain replied.

"That's it!" Ning Jian raised his hand to interrupt him, and then asked, "Looking at the people in Ning Mansion and the Moon Hunting County Lord's Mansion, is there any news?" ”

The chamberlain nodded, and hurriedly said: "The news from the two sides of the mansion is the same as expected, Lord Ning and the county lord of Zhuyue are both vomiting and diarrhea, and the county lord of Zhuyue has already asked people to find a doctor, and I believe that the news will soon reach the ears of the emperor." ”

The two of them were fine, and Ning Jian was really relieved, but because of this, Ning Lian became even more confused.

It's just that some drugs that are bad for the stomach and intestines are used, how can they still die?

What's more, eating in the same pot, the county lord and Ning Hong were just vomiting and diarrhea, but Lord Chen, the imperial historian, suddenly died, and there was a hidden meaning in this?

Ning Lian's thoughts were very chaotic, and it took a long time to calm down.

She looked at the waiter and ordered: "Go to the imperial doctor, just say that the womb in the palace is uncomfortable, I am afraid that the fetus is different, please ask the imperial doctor to come quickly!" ”

The chamberlain nodded in agreement, and soon exited the dormitory, hurried towards the hospital.

The old emperor used Ning Zhao's medicine and followed the doctor's advice, and his body has indeed improved a lot in the past few days, and it is rare to sleep well, but before dawn, the old emperor was awakened.

Before the old emperor was angry, he was shocked by the news that came, and immediately sent the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital to the three respectively, and immediately sent the imperial lieutenant to the imperial doctor's mansion to investigate.

Before he could catch his breath, news came from the East Palace, saying that the crown prince's side concubine was uncomfortable, and the old emperor was shocked and angry.

Something so big happened, how could the old emperor be able to sleep, and when a few imperial doctors came back, they reported the situation of the county lord and Ning Hong Ninglian, and the old emperor knew that it was caused by an unfavorable stomach.

"How can they all have a bad stomach at the same time, can they say anything else?" The old emperor asked the imperial doctor.
