Chapter 214: Saved
Wan Ning's face and body were wet with a thick potion. She didn't hesitate to spit it out when she poured it into her mouth.
Xiao Jieyu looked at it: "You guys are so stupid! She went straight to her hands and pinched Wanning's mouth.
Just as the maid poured the rest of the medicine down again, everyone heard footsteps outside the door, many and chaotic, listening to the footsteps, they knew that there were many people, and the momentum was extraordinary.
Xiao Jieyu snatched the bowl from the maid's hand and forcibly poured the residual medicine into Wanning. She finally let go, and Wan Ning tried hard to cough out the poison she had swallowed, but to no avail.
In a moment, the palace door of Yanhua Hall was kicked open, and a group of people rushed in.
At the front was the dignified-faced emperor, followed by the empress, followed by a group of maids and eunuchs.
Xiao Jieyu was very calm, judging from this battle, it was only the emperor and empress who learned the news, and they had not alarmed other people in the palace. But it was already terrible for the emperor to know that it was already terrible.
deliberately avoided the emperor, calculated that the emperor would not come, but why did the emperor come now? It was only the emperor and empress who came, not like someone else's informant. Is it really that everything is under the control of the emperor? Most likely, it is true that the emperor is busy with government affairs, and it is also true that he rushed over to save Li Wanning.
There's no time to think about that. Xiao Jieyu instantly put all her attention on the emperor.
Wan Ning glanced at the visitor with difficulty, unable to support it, and passed out.
When the emperor came, it was the scene in front of him again, and everyone was frightened and stunned.
The emperor said angrily: "No one knows that the saint is here today!" β
From the concubines to the palace people, the eunuchs present immediately knelt on the ground. Only the queen hurriedly stepped forward, came to Wan Ning's side, helped her up, and called: "Wan Ning! β
"If I don't come today, will this magnificent and splendid Yanhua Hall be going to stage a big show?"
Xiao Jieyu didn't dare to respond for the time being, just knelt on the ground. The maids in the palace didn't dare to say anything.
The air froze for a moment, but Xiao Jieyu still mustered up the courage to defend herself: "Your Majesty, this girl broke the jade pot that Tubo paid tribute to, and the poor concubine is punishing her." β
"Punishment? You want her life, right? β
"Your Majesty, this jade pot is very valuable, and the poor concubines are already frightened. I thought to myself, after disposing of this little girl, the poor concubine can explain to you. β
After allowing Xiao Jieyu's few words of defense, the emperor didn't tell her anything, he also went to Wanning's side and called softly: "Li Wanning!" β
But Wanning didn't react at all.
The emperor himself carried her to the couch in the inner room and lay down, and then sternly ordered: "Call the imperial doctor quickly!" β
Within a cup of tea, the imperial doctor arrived with a medicine box. Seeing the person kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but kneel: "Weichen has seen the emperor." β
"You must save her, or I will take you with you to the funeral."
The emperor's tone was extremely flat, but the imperial doctor was frightened.
"Wechen obeys."
He took three steps and two steps to the couch, woke Wan Ning who was sleeping on the couch, and poured a large amount of salt water on her until her stomach was distended and she could not swallow. After that, he irritated his throat and finally vomited out all the contents of his stomach.
After working for a while, the imperial doctor wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, came to the emperor, knelt down and said, "Back to the emperor, fortunately you arrived in time, and the poison was only drunk a little." She saved her life and was in bed for a few days to rest and recover in a few days. β
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor walked in front of Xiao Jieyu, and she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground again.
"Who gave you the guts?"
Xiao Jieyu was very well-behaved at the moment, and only said lightly: "Please ask the emperor to spare the life of the poor concubine." β
Because she understands that in fact, the subtext of the emperor is, you don't want to do whatever you want in the harem just because you have a good brother. She is attached to Concubine Yingxian, and of course the emperor knows it.
At this time, Wanning was still in a dying state, she grabbed the hand of Zhou Cairen who was guarding her and whispered, "Cairen, go back to Yunyan Pavilion." β
"Okay." Zhou Cairen nodded lightly.
She came to the emperor, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, since Wanning is out of danger, please ask the emperor to allow her to return to Yunyan Pavilion, which will be more conducive to her recovery." β
The emperor glanced back at Wan Ning and said, "She's like thisβ"
The imperial doctor, who was standing not far away, seemed to understand the entanglement, so he said, "Your Majesty, it's okay." β
The emperor probably also understood that Wan Ning should want to go back to Yunyan Pavilion now, and this idea was easy to understand, so he agreed: "Okay, go back, and send two proper maids to take care of her." β
"Yes."
Wan Ning was carried back to the Cloud Smoke Pavilion by a sedan chair.
In the face of Xiao Jieyu, who inflicted evil deeds on Wanning, the emperor did not say anything more.
Back in Yunyan Pavilion, Wan Ning slept peacefully and slept all night.
Yan'er, who was guarding beside her, didn't sleep well all night, cried several times, she even blamed herself a little, she took care of the eldest lady since she was a child, but she went to the ghost gate and closed it. I can't do it myself.
Early in the morning, Wan Ning finally slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw Yan'er by her side, she seemed to have a nightmare.
"Miss, you're finally awake."
"Yan'er, now you've woken up from a nightmare, aren't you?"
Yan'er straightened the broken hair on her sideburns: "Don't talk about it, you can take care of your illness." If you don't die in a great calamity, you will have a blessing in the future. It will be fine later. β
Wan Ning grabbed the mattress uneasily and said, "I really want to see Brother Ziang." β
"Miss, you're just getting a little better. Rest for another day, so that the slave and maid can rest assured. Tomorrow. β
Yan'er got up and tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and said, "Miss, you don't care about anything at the moment, just have a good rest." The slave and maid are up, and if you need anything, you can tell me. β
Wan Ning stared at the top of the bed, her eyes were confused, she remembered yesterday, and she still had palpitations. Fear, anger, insecurity...... All kinds of emotions were intertwined in her heart.
She tried to calm her mood, but heard Yan'er's voice outside: "Your Majesty, you are here." β
"How is Li Wanning?" The emperor asked.
"Miss, she's awake, but she's not in good spirits."
In a few moments, the emperor appeared at her bedside. Wan Ning struggled to get up and wanted to salute the emperor.
The emperor said impatiently, "You fall asleep." After a moment he asked, "How do you feel?" β
"The slave maid is much better, and I don't dare to worry the emperor."
"Your Majesty, that jade pot, the slave and maid really didn't mean to break it. If she could do it all over again, the slave would put it aside in a safe place and serve the lychee again. Slaves and maids do not dare to do anything that affects diplomatic relations. β
"Needless to say, I know it. You come from a prominent background, and you have been accustomed to all kinds of valuables since you were a child, how can you care about a small jade pot? It's normal not to take it into account. You don't know where the jade pot came from. Moreover, no matter how important the jade pot is, your life does not matter. β
Wan Ning wanted to tell the emperor that the jade pot was clearly put there by someone. Although the emperor followed her words, he also said that he knew everything. He should have known that Xiao Jieyu did it on purpose.
