Chapter 153: In and out of the palace wall
Xue Muyan, who was full of anger, didn't know what was going on inside the palace walls at this time, he thought that the emperor let Lu Xiaowan in to kill her, but he didn't know that the emperor let him in, just to see his future daughter-in-law, and more to see if this woman's character was suitable to be the future queen.
"Don't worry, I'm secretly fighting back, if the gains outweigh the losses, I believe Xiao Wan can handle the affairs in the palace."
Ning Hao said this also to calm Xue Muyan, after all, it was risky to do it here, if he let the emperor know that his son was restless, I am afraid it would not be a matter of not being able to enter the palace.
"I know what you said, but I'm still worried that Xiao Wan is inside, after all, this is the palace." The tension on Xue Muyan's body still didn't disappear, he looked at the people coming and going outside the palace wall, anyway, those people inside were already uneasy and kind.
"Which one is Xue Gongzi?"
Xue Muyan glanced over there, and after a young eunuch glanced at it, he made sure of the person in front of him and handed him something like a bag.
"Childe, don't open it now, wait for the minions to leave." That was something that Gonggong Yang had prepared a long time ago, just to make Xue Muyan have some preparations, of course, outside the city wall, there were not only Gonggong Yang's people, but also the prime minister's people.
They hid in the dark and didn't make a move, secretly observing Xue Muyan's every move, and then took the news back to resume their lives, and some officials knew the news early, but they didn't dare to stand in line at will, so they kept hiding in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity.
"Don't be impulsive, the people in the wall keep wanting you to make mistakes, let's wait!"
Ning Hao still didn't tell Xue Muyan that the emperor already knew about his identity, after all, once the whole capital knew about it, it would be tantamount to telling the prince that his enemy was coming.
The sweat in Lu Xiaowan's hands has accumulated between her fingers, holding the emperor's hand, the condition is indeed uncontrollable, it is normal for the imperial doctor to be helpless, not to mention that she can feel the weakness of the emperor's pulse, it seems that she has taken a lot of tonic medicine before, and has exhausted the vitality in her body.
[If the aura of Lingzhi and Jade Pendant is infused into it, the emperor's condition may improve, but for a person who does not have any cultivation, it will not be drawn! 】
She had already thought of this method, and Yu Pei was also waiting on the side, and soon the aura could be transported in, but it couldn't be so blatant, Lu Xiaowan wanted to let the system stop it for a while, so that the aura could enter his body along with the medicine.
"Is there any way to fuse the aura with his body, and then use the time to take the medicine to send the aura in?"
The loss caused by double insurance is something that the system does not want to see, as far as Lu Xiaowan is concerned, it is also a good thing for Xue Muyan that the emperor is alive, after all, the crown prince is on the throne, which is definitely a threat to Xue Muyan.
When the time comes, if you snatch the throne, it will be a usurpation of the throne, and it is extremely dangerous if the name is not right, and it must be successful if you want to buy and sell here, after the system confirms, combine the aura of Lingzhi and the aura of the jade pendant into one, and then store it in the carry-on space.
[Host, you have to remember that the aura itself is very precious in this world, and if you use it once, it is likely that you will not encounter it in the future. 】
Lu Xiaowan still nodded, after all, the most important thing in front of her is to let the emperor live for a while longer, only in this way is it reasonable for the Ning Mansion to do things, and the powerful emperor holds it, so the courtiers below will not be in a hurry to stand in line.
"Your Majesty, the people need to go back and think carefully about how to prescribe this medicine." After speaking, she knelt down towards the emperor, and she obviously felt that the people in front of her were looking at her wrongly, and she had the feeling of looking at the old people.
The emperor nodded, and asked Gonggong Yang to take the people out, and the emperor drove all the people out, and pulled Ning Guifei to talk there for a long time, but it was nothing more than that his children were all older, and they were all disobedient.
"Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, this daughter-in-law of his, will be terrible in the future!" The emperor sat on the stool, his lungs seemed to be sticky, no matter how he coughed, he couldn't breathe, and Ning Guifei wanted to cry next to him but could only endure it.
"What's the trouble, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, if he doesn't become an emperor in the future, maybe he can live a stable life."
Ning Guifei has been in the palace wall for half her life, and she is already tired in her heart when she looks at her deception, and she can't bear to let her child enter the palace wall again.
The emperor shook his head, even if he didn't want Xue Muyan to come in, the crown prince would not let his courtiers go, after all, every talent in the royal family was a threat, not to mention that Xue Muyan had a wife by his side who could help him.
"You still don't understand, you really think that the prime minister cares about the business in a town, but I heard that a small town has become a rich land in a few months."
The meaning between the words, how could Concubine Ning not understand, those people still wanted to send their children into this battle, and after sighing, they were angry for the emperor, and naturally they had to start preparing in private.
The aura had slowly entered his body, but it didn't work, Lu Xiaowan knew that the emperor's condition could not be delayed, and he would prepare all the prescriptions after he went back.
"Stop." At the other corner of the palace wall, it was clear that he was thinking about the person who was thinking about it, Lu Xiaowan looked at the eyes of the eunuch, guessed that he was not Yang Gonggong's person, and pretended not to understand and asked some things outside the palace wall.
The eunuch thought that Lu Xiaowan was attracted by the small vendors, and he was very disdainful in his heart, pretending to be respectful but arrogant, and said some vendors not far from the palace wall.
"I see, I thought the palace walls were majestic and no one was allowed to sell things here!" When the eunuch heard that this was the reason, he felt a lot more kind.
"Our Majesty is merciful, so he is particularly generous to the people, and there is a downtown three miles from the palace wall, and then His Majesty feels that the distance is too far, and it makes people move close."
I didn't expect the emperor to be able to go east, Lu Xiaowan's surprise in her heart still did not decrease, in her impression, as long as the emperor did not understand the commoners.
"Indeed merciful."
Xue Muyan had already quietly followed behind the carriage, waiting for the little eunuch to send people in, and he would also go in.
Outside the Ning Mansion, there were already people waiting, and the little eunuch was very surprised when he saw the son of the Ning Mansion, he clearly remembered that the Ning family was not allowed to enter the capital, and now they all came to the capital.
"Ning Gongzi, the person has been delivered, and the miscellaneous family will not delay if they want to go back to resume their lives."
When the little eunuch left, the suspicion in his heart was very serious, so he quietly walked back, looked outside the Ning Mansion for a long time, and was sure that it was the son of the Ning Mansion before he was willing to leave.
"They know I'm back."
Ning Xiuyuan came back with the emperor's secret decree, naturally no one was afraid, Ning Hao had already packed up, just waiting for His Majesty to announce the decree to enter the palace, the strange thing was that this decree did not come down for a long time.
As soon as Lu Xiaowan came back, she immediately entered the pharmacy, flipped through a lot of medical books, and quickly determined the prescription.
"What is he looking for you for?"
Xue Muyan didn't want to see the emperor, everything in the past was because of him, his mother had been in poor health and depressed all the year round, and he never tried to find himself.
Lu Xiaowan didn't know how to speak, after all, the emperor didn't have much time left, and she was almost sure that the emperor had the rest of the time, "Look for me to see a doctor, Your Majesty doesn't have much time left, and you don't have much time." ”
He didn't want to mention it, he kept running away, listening to his father with little time left, and there was not much sadness in his eyes, but he found some clues.
"Have you seen anyone else but him today?"
Xue Muyan guessed that Lu Xiaowan should have seen his mother, and he had more expectations in his heart, according to Ning Hao's description, his mother should have thought that she was a gentle and elegant beauty, and she should be very happy to hear the news of herself.
The beauty looked at herself with a little kindness from head to point, and she didn't look like a queen, but a little like she regarded herself as a daughter-in-law.
"It's time to see your mother, she doesn't look good." With a weak body and perennial depression, Lu Xiaowan still chose to tell what he saw, after all, one day if he heard it from others, it would be even more uncomfortable.
Ning Hao stood outside the door, listened to the conversation between the two, and sighed, he knew that Xue Muyan didn't believe in his father, and he only relied on Ning Guifei because of blood relationship.
It is a very strange thing for His Majesty to suddenly want to see his daughter-in-law, because he refuses to let Xue Muyan go to see him, and if it goes on like this, when he really dies, Xue Muyan may not be able to go back and prove his identity to those old ministers.
"Son, I have something to say to you." The emperor now breathed a sigh of relief and played a game of cannibalistic chess.
Just now, Xue Muyan knew that he had heard it, and after walking out, Ning Hao took him to a Ning ancestral hall, where the ancestors of the Ning family and Ning Hao's father were enshrined.
"Do you know how I became the head of the Ning family?"
He shook his head, Xue Muyan always thought that Ning Hao was the family business he had worked hard for, but he didn't expect that it was also left by his ancestors.
"I used to be a pawn that could be used in my father's eyes, and I fought with my younger brother, because my father said that the head of the Ning family needed to have means to get connections, I didn't believe it, so I broke through the world by myself, but my younger brother stayed in Jiangnan because I refused to fight, thinking that I could sit back and enjoy it."
There seems to be nothing wrong with the story here, and Xue Muyan also thinks that his brother and brother Gong should be like this, but the next words make Xue Muyan frightened.
"That year, I had just arrived at home, and I had just taken the first sip of tea, and I didn't feel right, and sure enough, someone had poisoned me."
The person who poisoned him, Ning Hao did not say that it was not his younger brother, but his father, what he wanted was to fight with his younger brother and take over the family.
"I drank poisoned tea, and my father didn't save me, but thought I was useless."
