Chapter 18 Resurrection

A young eunuch stepped forward and pulled at Xiao Bao'er.

Jiang Ning immediately became anxious and shouted angrily, "Don't touch my son!"

After saying that, he was about to throw the poison powder in his hand.

These people dared to touch her precious baby; they're practically asking for death!

Yuwen Jue suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice, "Father, wait!"

Emperor Ming was displeased and asked in a cold voice, "Prince Ling, do you have anything else to say?"

Yuwen Jue took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and said, "Father, Jiang Ning was only trying to save Grandfather, which is why she contradicted you."

"As for the child, he is young and ignorant, and even more innocent."

After speaking, his sharp, cold eyes fixed on Jiang Ning.

"The fault lies entirely with Jiang Ning! Jiang Ning, why don't you kowtow to your father and admit your mistake!"

If Jiang Ning were to kowtow and admit her mistake, and he were to plead for her, perhaps... he could save her foolish life.

Jiang Ning was so angry that he laughed, and was about to speak when he heard Physician Zhu cry out in alarm.

"It's moving! Your Majesty, it's moving!"

Emperor Ming's face turned ashen, and he asked unhappily.

"Physician Zhu, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Physician Zhu was extremely excited, his finger trembling as he pointed towards the Emperor Emeritus.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus has made a move!"

Everyone was horrified and immediately looked towards the bedside.

Sure enough, the retired emperor moved his hand a few times, and then coughed.

"He's alive! The Emperor Emeritus is really alive!"

After confirming that the Emperor Emeritus was indeed alive, Yuwen Jue looked at Jiang Ning in shock.

This woman, Jiang Ning, actually brought the dead Emperor Emeritus back to life?!

How is that possible?

Jiang Baoqing's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

That damn Jiang Ning... she's so lucky.

She actually managed to revive the Emperor Emeritus by sheer luck...

If she had known this would happen, she should have volunteered to save the Emperor Emeritus!

Jiang Baoqing looked at Jiang Ning with anger and rage, clenching her fists tightly.

Her sharp nails dug into her palm, drawing blood, but she was completely unaware.

Consort Guo looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief, muttering to herself.

"I didn't expect that Jiang Ning would actually have some skill..."

I never expected that Jiang Ning would be so unassuming, both in calligraphy and medical skills!

Jiang Ning seemed to have expected this and was not surprised.

Having broken free from the restraints of the eunuchs, he quickly walked to Xiao Bao'er's side and patted his head.

Then he walked towards the bedside.

"Your Majesty, you have just awakened and cannot move for the time being."

Jiang Ning gave a few more instructions, then inserted several more needles. The Emperor Emeritus's face changed drastically, and he vomited black blood with a "whoosh".

His breathing gradually returned to normal.

"Quickly prepare tea, Eunuch Su, and have someone brew cinnamon twig soup for the Emperor Emeritus to drink in a little while!"

Jiang Ning brought over the tea and personally fed the Emperor Emeritus a sip to help him breathe.

The Emperor Emeritus gradually regained his senses after drinking it.

His voice was weak, and his eyes were cloudy as he looked around.

"What's wrong with me? And who are you, girl?"

Emperor Ming hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Your Majesty, you have been found hanged in Shou Kang Palace."

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Ning with a complex expression in his eyes.

"This is Princess Ling, Jiang Ning. She's the one who rescued you."

The Emperor Emeritus took a slow breath and then exhaled with difficulty, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"You are Princess Consort Ling?"

Jiang Ning greeted him with a smile: "Indeed, Your Majesty, is there anything else that is bothering you?"

The retired emperor shifted his body, his mottled white eyebrows furrowing into a knot.

"I am completely stiff and unable to move."

Jiang Ning sat on the edge of the bed and massaged his shoulders and arms.

"Your Majesty need not worry. I will massage you for a day or two, and you will be fine."

The retired emperor had been hanging there for too long, so it was perfectly normal for his blood and qi to stagnate and his body to stiffen.

Now that breathing is flowing smoothly and blood and qi are circulating again, things will naturally get better gradually.

Yuwen Jue frowned, and asked worriedly, "Grandfather, why did you hang yourself?"

Emperor Ming asked anxiously, "Yes, Father, what is the reason for this? Is there anything I have done wrong that has angered you?"

The Emperor Emeritus's face gradually darkened, and his hand, which had just been pushed away by Jiang Ning, clenched into a fist.

"I did not hang myself, but was murdered by treacherous people."

Immediately, the entire Shou Kang Palace fell silent.

Emperor Ming's face turned ashen, and he asked incredulously, "Father, did you see the villain's face clearly?"
