Chapter 384: Summoned
Ning Jian didn't dare to go out, and he didn't want to go out, so he dutifully pretended to be sick, and didn't see with his own eyes what happened to Ning Zhao and Liuliju.
But guess also knows that when the imperial doctor of the dynasty died violently, Ning Zhao was the suspect, and Liuliju couldn't escape the fate of being seized.
It stands to reason that Ning Zhao should have been happy, to see Ning Zhao being injured, in the past, Ning Zhao might not be happy, maybe she had to come to Ning Zhao to see her current dejected appearance.
But at the moment, Ning Lian couldn't be happy.
This incident alarmed the emperor as he wished, but the alarm was so complete that even the court lieutenant was dispatched, and he completely investigated this case as a serious case of murder of important members of the imperial court.
Ning Jian had been worried for several days, and she had already let the person who was doing business that day hide, but she had never dealt with this kind of incident, and she had been worried in her heart.
Now that his body is getting heavier and heavier, he was seriously ill before, Ning Lian's spirit was not very stable, and he was frightened for several days, Ning Lian suffered serious insomnia, and the whole person became groggy.
When the emperor's people arrived at the East Palace, what they saw was Ning Lian, who was lying drowsy.
"Concubine Niangniang, the emperor has sent you to see you." The eunuch called out in a unique shrill voice.
Ning Lian opened her eyes in a daze, she didn't hear clearly, but the palace maid who was waiting next to her heard it clearly, the movements in her hands stiffened, and she hurriedly came to Ning Lian's side, and by the action of holding Ning Lian, she looked at her ear and said, "Niangniang, the emperor is summoned!" ”
"What?" Ning Jian exclaimed in surprise, startling the eunuch who sent the message.
The little eunuch hurriedly patted his chest, and reluctantly repeated again, "The emperor summoned the side concubine Niangniang to meet him." ”
Ning Lian's pupils trembled slightly, and his chest rose and fell rapidly.
If it weren't for the rules in the palace, the slave couldn't look directly at the master at will, and the little eunuch would definitely be able to see Ning Lian's abnormal reaction seriously.
"Hongu knows." Ning Jian settled down, and suddenly asked again: "Does my father-in-law know what the emperor summoned the palace?" ”
"Slaves are just talkers."
The little eunuch smiled, raised his eyes and saw a golden hairpin handed to him, and immediately took it happily, and said: "The slave really doesn't know what it is for, but the slave heard that Lord Liu reported the progress of Lord Chen's case to the emperor earlier this morning. ”
Ning Zhuo's eyelids jumped, the hands in his sleeves clenched unconsciously, swallowed his saliva, and then waved his hand at the little eunuch and said, "Okay, the palace knows, the father-in-law will go and wait outside, and the palace will come after freshening up." ”
"Okay! The minions retired first. ”
The little eunuch retreated abruptly, but Ning Jian suddenly leaned back on the soft couch like a loss of strength, his face was very ugly.
She grabbed the hand of the palace maid and said in a panic: "Has she already hidden?" ”
The palace maid was caught in pain, and she didn't dare to pull it out, so she quickly nodded and said comfortingly: "It's been hidden, that place is very remote, no one can find it, don't worry." ”
Where is it so easy for Ning Jian to rest assured, now that the old emperor has passed her to the palace, it is the Jinluan Treasure Palace! Let's not talk about her as a harem concubine, as a woman, she can't go there for the rest of her life.
But now that I'm going, I'm so nervous.
Ning Jian took a few deep breaths, and then eased down slightly.
She sat up and ordered, "Hurry up and dress up, don't let the emperor wait for a long time." ”
The personal palace maid hurriedly brought a new cluster of gorgeous clothes, and called a few palace maids to dress up for Ning Lian, and after a while, Ning Lian changed her haggard appearance before, and walked out of the East Palace with a bright and glamorous appearance.
"The concubine sees the emperor!"
Ning Jian walked into the Jinluan Palace, and when she reached the middle, she made a big salute to the old emperor, with a respectful and humble attitude, which looked no different from usual.
The old emperor looked at her for a while, then raised his hand and said, "The prince's side concubine is heavy, and this etiquette will be waived in the future, get up." ”
Ning Jian thanked her and stood up from the ground, she looked at the old emperor, and then at the ministers standing on both sides, and asked suspiciously: "I don't know what happened when the emperor summoned his ministers and concubines?" ”
The old emperor looked at Jin Yuan and said, "Let's talk about Lord Jin." ”
Jin Yuan nodded, walked out, came to Ning Lian's side, first arched his hand at her, and then said: "I heard that Niangniang's body is sick, but now when I see it, Niangniang's spirit is brilliant, and I think she has already recovered." ”
"Thank you Lord Jin for your concern, it's indeed much better." Ning Lian bowed his head slightly and replied.
"I wonder if Niangniang has visited the Lord of the Moon?" Jin Yuan suddenly changed the topic and asked an irrelevant gossip.
Ning Jian looked at him, then shook his head slightly, revealing a sad look, his eyes quickly turned red, and said:
"Bengong is sick, and suddenly heard the news of his grandfather's death heartbroken, aggravated his condition, these days have been in the East Palace has not taken half a step, if the body allows, Bengong just wants to hurry up to see his grandfather for the last time."
"The side concubine Niangniang is worried about Lord Chen's heart, which really touches Weichen." Jin Yuan said, "But the deceased has passed away, and the side concubine Niangniang still asks for condolences." ”
"Thank you, Lord Jin, for your relief." Ning Jian raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, and didn't say anything else.
Jin Yuan brought the topic back on track and asked, "I invite the side concubine Niangniang to come today, there is something I want to ask the side concubine Niangniang." ”
"Lord Jin just asks." Ning Jian looked at the old emperor sitting on the dragon chair and said, "The emperor is above, and this palace must know everything." ”
"Very good!" Jin Yuan smiled and asked, "How many palace people did the side concubine take with her on the night of the banquet?" ”
"It's just a family banquet, and it's cumbersome when there are too many people, so the palace only brings a personal palace maid to serve you." Ning Jian said.
"Does that lady know the person in this painting?" Jin Yuan suddenly took out a piece of drawing paper from his sleeve pocket.
When I opened it, everyone was puzzled, and the old emperor also pointed to the drawing paper and asked, "Who is this?" ”
Jin Yuan smiled at the old emperor and said, "I believe that the side concubine can give the emperor an answer, right?" Empress. ”
Ning Jian was stunned when he saw the person on the painting clearly.
Who else could it be if it wasn't the palace maid she hid!
But she had obviously hidden people, how could Jin Yuan get her portrait? Could it be that Jin Yuan has already found someone?!
Ning Jian scared himself, the fact was just that Xu Wang drew the appearance of the palace maid from memory, and Jin Yuan just used this to probe Ning Lian's reaction.
But he didn't want Ning Lian's reaction to really surprise him.
"Mother?" Jin Yuan spoke up, awakened Ning Lian, who was in turmoil, and asked again, "Can Niangniang recognize the woman in this painting?" ”
"Niangniang said before, in front of the emperor, you will definitely tell the truth."
Jin Yuan continued: "This is the Jinluan Treasure Palace, and it is a place to discuss major affairs of the court, so you should be cautious when you say it." ”
Ning Lian was already uneasy, and was even more disturbed by Jin Yuan's words that were unintentional and implied to threats.
She swallowed her saliva and didn't say anything for a long time with her mouth open, and the old emperor also realized that something was wrong when he saw this, and frowned.
