Chapter Seventy-Three: Faking Illness
"Father, in all fairness, if it was my sister who did these things, would you still say that? At the end of the day, you're just eccentric! My sister keeps saying that I am like her own sister, but in private, she still treats me as a concubine? Why else would you want to hurt me? You keep saying that you like me, but in the end you just look down on me. β
"You-"
Zheng Anyan's heart was blocked, and he couldn't say a word when he looked at his resentful eyes.
What did he and Jing Ning do wrong?
He felt guilty because of what happened back then, and took their mother and daughter into the Prime Minister's Mansion, although it was only the identity of an aunt and a concubine, but he gave the Yang family the right to manage the Prime Minister's Mansion and gave Zheng Xiuning the honorable treatment no less than that of his concubine.
What did Jing Ning do wrong?
She regards the Yang family as her mother and respects her very much, she loves Xiuning very much, and is even willing to grudge for Zheng Xiuning and the nobles' daughters.
If they hadn't given these to the Yang family and daughter, what would they be like?
If it is an ordinary family, the concubine is the concubine, and the aunt is the aunt, but she is the slave maid of the master's family, he and Jing Ning are so good to the mother and daughter, these good are love, and it is the duty not to give them away.
He has never seen a person who divides his love and duty!
He pointed at Zheng Xiuning for a long time, and finally flicked his sleeves fiercely.
"Come on, take the second lady down and lock me in her yard, and don't allow her to leave half a step before she gets married!"
People are like trees, once they grow crooked, after a long time, they will never have a chance to turn around, and he is not willing to spend so much time on twisting a crooked neck tree!
At this time, he suddenly heard Jing Ning exclaim: "Grandmother, what's wrong with you?" β
When he turned his head, he saw the old lady sitting on the high seat holding her head covered, her face pale and struggling to breathe.
That headache has flared up again!
Zheng Anyan was startled, hurriedly ran up, and hugged the old lady: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare your son, isn't this disease cured? β
How can it be cured?
It's just a temporary pain relief.
Jing Ning sneered in her heart, this kind of method, she had seen it in her previous life when she was in the palace, although it was effective, but when the time passed, the pain would sweep in a thousand times, and some people often couldn't stand the pain and died, which is also a common thing.
"Father, grandmother's illness does not seem to be better, but it is getting more and more serious, you have to go to the palace to ask for a doctor quickly!"
Putting away the thoughts in his heart, Jing Ning said anxiously.
Zheng Anyan reacted at this time.
"You're right, I forgot about my father, what's the use of the Taoist priests? You have to go to the palace and ask for a doctor! β
It's a pity that so much happened that he forgot about it!
Zheng Anyan was about to ask someone to ask for a doctor, when suddenly there was a voice from the next person outside-
"My lord, the people who stayed in the palace came, saying that they brought a doctor to treat the old lady."
This announcement came at the right time!
Zheng Anyan was overjoyed immediately, "Invite someone in!" β
β¦β¦
The county lord of Danyang lay on the soft couch and lazily rolled a grape.
Around her, there were five or six maids, each with a tray in their hands, and on the tray was the freshest fruit sent from thousands of miles away.
Of course, Princess Zhao Jing of Danyang did not get sick.
It's just that when she was enjoying the flowers at home, she suddenly got a message from Jingning.
The other party asked her to pretend to be sick, and by the way, she found a Taoist priest to accuse Zheng Xiuning of using witchcraft to assassinate herself.
She lay lazily on the soft couch, squinted her eyes, and thought in her heartβ
Zheng Jingning, I trust you so much, you must not disappoint this county lord! β
"Oh no, the county lord, the prince and His Royal Highness the prince are back!"
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the maid outside, and the county lord of Danyang, who was eating grapes, suddenly tightened his throat, and the grape core was stuck in his throat.
She hurriedly waved her hand.
The maid next to her knocked her back, and with a whoop, she lowered her head and spit out all the things in her throat.
When the prince walked in the door, he saw his sister lying in front of the bed with a pale face and vomiting, and he was suddenly shocked and walked forward quickly.
"Sister, how are you, aren't you? So what did Zheng Xiuning do to you again? β
Princess Danyang covered her chest, fell into the arms of the prince of Liuwang, and said with sobs, "Big brother, I feel very uncomfortable, am I about to die?" β
His expression changed, "Sure enough, it was Zheng Xiuning's ghost, she must have been angry, and what did she do to you with witchcraft?" I'm going back and hacking her right now! β
As he spoke, he lifted his sword and turned around to go to trouble Zheng Xiuning again.
"Stop!"
At this time, there was a sudden loud shout from outside the door.
King Liu's face was gloomy and he walked in, "What are you going to do?" Give me back! β
If in the past, when he saw his father's gloomy face, the prince would have shrunk into the corner.
And yet, todayβ
Seeing his sister fall ill and be plagued by witchcraft, and the culprit is still at large under the protection of Lu Wangfei, as an elder brother, he can't swallow this breath no matter what!
He clenched his sword and said in a deep voice, "Father, don't stop me, no matter what, I'm going to cut down that vicious woman today!" β
"Even if it is Princess Lu, if she stabs this matter in front of His Majesty, I am not afraid, it's a big deal, father, you push my son out of me!"
"What nonsense?"
King Liu, who finally couldn't stand it, slapped his unsuccessful son on the head fiercely.
"So impulsive and reckless, no wonder you can't mix up an official position until now, you get out of here, I have something to say to your sister!"
As he spoke, he kicked his unconscious son out.
Then, he turned his head and glanced sharply over his daughter's body.
The body of the Danyang County Lord trembled, and he immediately lowered his head.
He frowned and said impatiently, "Okay, don't pretend! Isn't the double reed you singing with the eldest lady of the Zheng family over yet? β
The county lord of Danyang was silent for a while.
After a while, she slowly raised her head, and her smile was a little embarrassed, "Father, how do you know?" β
How do you know?
King Liu snorted coldly.
As a father, how can he not know his own children?
If Zheng Xiuning really used witchcraft on Danyang, even if Danyang was weak, he would force people to carry him and give Zheng Xiuning a knife with his own hands.
How could he lie in the boudoir and instigate his brother and father to find trouble with each other?
Thinking of this, his eyes sank, and he said in a low voice, "I know that she doesn't like the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion in your heart, but I'm afraid you can't do anything to her recently." β
"What?"
Princess Danyang exclaimed, and then her eyes turned cold, "Why is this?" β
It's just a little maid, what can't I do?
"I don't know what kind of luck that girl had, she was accepted as a righteous daughter by Princess Lu! I'm afraid that if you want to move her again in the future, you need to weigh one or two. β
