Chapter 155 Rescue
Concubine Zhen knew that there was something fishy going on between the Queen and Shen, but she didn't expect that they were so close to each other.
At this point, she felt even more sorry for her plan.
This was a plan that she had been thinking about for a long time, killing two birds with one stone.
Let Shen die for her, and then push the blame of someone trying to poison her to death onto the Queen.
Even if it is eventually discovered that the palace maid was loyal to her former master, the palace banquet was hosted by the Queen, and the Queen also has an unshirkable responsibility.
It is hard to say whether the queen wants to use that palace maid to attack her, the concubine dowager.
Similarly, if the empress can attack her, her stepmother, what about the emperor?
As the saying goes, husband and wife are one.
It doesn’t matter whether the emperor and empress had any thoughts about it. What matters is to plant the seeds of doubt in the heart of the retired emperor.
But now...
Concubine Zhen sighed softly in her heart.
The Jia family seemed to be in decline, but their connections in the military were real.
With the Jia family, the emperor’s say in the army will be even greater!
That stupid woman of Yun's...
Concubine Zhen was really angry.
It is true that marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations! Concubine Zhen let out another breath of foul air.
She turned her head and no longer looked at the Queen and the Jia family.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Concubine Nan'an.
This woman is actually her sister from the same clan.
hateful!
There are no fathers and sons under imperial power, and there are no sisters under imperial power.
She once wanted to use the Nan'an Concubine to take control of the Nan'an Palace and increase the benefits for herself and her son.
But this so-called sister was just using her to protect her Nan'an Palace.
He originally thought that it would be good for everyone to use each other and become each other's big trees, but who could have imagined that it was precisely because his son had too many people under his control that the emperor became suspicious and passed the throne to the emperor who had no involvement in the court, had no one under his control, and honestly served as his son.
It’s time, it’s luck, it’s fate!
This missed opportunity means a world of difference.
now……
When Concubine Nan'an looked at her, Concubine Zhen gave her a particularly friendly smile in return.
Until the end, who can say that they will definitely lose?
The palace banquet finally officially began, and hot dishes, cold dishes, fruit plates and so on were brought up by the palace servants.
Shen Ning sat at the same table with Lady Jia. Together with everyone else, under the leadership of the Queen, they wished the retired Emperor a long life from afar before beginning this uneasy meal.
Concubine Zhen never touched the two dishes that she had always liked.
Without Shen, although it can be given to others, the effect will certainly be greatly reduced.
Concubine Zhen knew very well that in the heart of the retired emperor, the Jia family was his people.
That was why he was particularly moved when Jia Zhen was stabbed, and he recalled the past with the emperor and bestowed the lower-rank imperial edict on Shen.
Only after Shen's death would the retired emperor be furious and become even more suspicious.
Change to someone else...
It may even have the opposite effect.
Moreover, Concubine Zhen was unwilling to abandon this plan so easily.
It may not work this time, but maybe it will work in the future.
If it cannot be used on Shen, perhaps it can be used on the emperor's concubines in the future.
The relationship between the emperor and the empress is too good, which is not a good sign.
During the palace banquet, everyone was smiling and toasting each other. When the retired emperor, accompanied by the emperor, came over to accept the blessing, it became the climax of the trip.
Anyone can see that the old man with his back straight is in good spirits and looks like he still has some life left.
Some people who were more intelligent suddenly understood why the retired emperor would hold a grand birthday banquet when the war on the border was at its most intense.
The old man is still worried about the emperor’s son!
He was making it clear to the world that he, the retired emperor, was in very good health and that he was still the true master of Dazhao.
"Ahem~"
Just as the Emperor was about to leave after greeting the old ladies cordially, an unusual cough was heard in the hall.
Then, there were coughs one after another, and Princess Zhongshun panicked, "Yan'er, imperial physician, please, please call the imperial physician!"
Shen Ning turned around and saw that Prince Zhongshun's daughter had flushed red in the face and was coughing with her eyes rolled up. If Princess Zhongshun hadn't held her tightly, she would have collapsed to the ground.
"Hurry, it's choking."
The old princess next to her didn't care about anything else and was busy massaging her back, hoping to take out the food that had bit the child. But no matter how she took the photo, the child became worse and worse.
The Emperor and the Retired Emperor were too busy to leave.
Fortunately, in order to prevent any accidents from happening at the palace banquet, there were more than ten people on duty at the Imperial Hospital, and everyone dispersed quickly. However, no matter what they did, the little princess was getting worse and worse.
"Ah, my Yan'er, please save my Yan'er! Wuuuu~~~"
Princess Zhongshun was already in a state of panic. "Yan'er, don't leave mother, Yan'er," she suddenly thought of something. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please save my Yan'er! Please save my Yan'er."
The first Prince Chungshun was the nephew of the retired emperor.
He was the posthumous son of his second elder brother.
If the second emperor were still alive, it is very likely that he would not be the emperor.
The retired emperor was extremely fond of his nephew and at the same time gave him the name "loyal and obedient".
However, the nephew died of illness just after he had a grandson.
He began to dote on his nephew again, but he didn't know what was wrong with him. After twenty years of marriage, he only had one daughter, Yan'er.
If this happens...
The emperor was also very anxious, "Doctor Wu, Doctor Tang, please treat him quickly!"
"No matter what method you use, as long as you can save Yan'er, I will reward you handsomely!"
The emperor also hurriedly added a sentence.
Although Prince Zhongshun has a rebellious temperament, he is a rare person in the royal family who sides with the emperor.
Otherwise, everyone was eyeing Jiangnan, and he couldn't send King Zhongshun there.
If Prince Zhongshun goes, his father will not speak, and even if his brothers want to speak, they dare not face this eldest nephew easily.
If he gets into trouble, he can really come to your house, eat your food, drink your drinks, and smash your things.
You can't be serious with him. If you do, he will cry for his grandfather and his father.
If he cries, his father will definitely side with him.
Now if something happens to his only daughter at the palace banquet...
The emperor was also very anxious.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your subjects..."
The imperial doctors were helpless.
The princess's face gradually turned purple, and she was about to die. Shen Ning couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have a method that you may try."
"Try! Try now! I forgive you for your innocence!"
"Princess, please give me the princess."
Princess Zhongshun had been holding her daughter in her arms, her body already limp and leaning on the ground. Upon hearing what she said, her face turned pale and her hands trembled as she just handed her daughter to her.
Shen Ning had no time to waste and performed first aid on the spot using the Heimlich maneuver.
The little princess's body was as soft as noodles at this time. Shen Ning clenched a fist with one hand and held a fist with the other, and punched her abdomen upwards, again and again. Finally, a meat ball was punched out, and the little girl's face, which had been bruised purple, finally recovered.
“Wow~~~~”
She also burst into tears.
Princess Zhongshun crawled over, hugged her daughter and burst into tears, "You scared me to death, you scared me to death, wuwu~wuwuwu~~~"
Just now, she almost lost her precious daughter.
The old princess, who was standing by, saw her granddaughter being rescued. She lost all her strength and fell to the ground.
"Imperial Physician, please take a look at Wang's wife."
The queen finally breathed a sigh of relief and supported Shen Ning, whose hair was a little messy, "Sister Shen, thank you so much this time."
In a short time, she was so scared that her legs became weak.
“It should be.”
You can't just watch your child lose his life.
Although Shen Ning has never performed the Heimlich maneuver on anyone, there is a lot of publicity about it in modern times and she has seen quite a bit of it.
"Okay, okay, come here, give Shen Shi from Ningguo Mansion a pair of gold and jade gourds, a pair of gold and jade longevity peaches, a piece of jade Linglong, and a hundred taels of gold!"
The emperor was relieved.
If his second brother's lineage were to die out at his birthday party, he would not be able to face his father and second brother in the future.
Shen Ning knelt down to thank the emperor for his grace.
Not far away, Concubine Zhen was as anxious as the retired emperor. When the retired emperor was anxious, she was anxious too. When the retired emperor recovered, she also recovered.
The retired emperor was pleased to reward Shen, and the way she looked at Shen Ning was full of tenderness, intimacy and appreciation.
In fact, Concubine Zhen was really upset at this moment.
Shen made another contribution.
In front of the emperor and so many people.
The Prince Zhongshun’s Mansion will be the Jia family’s support from now on.
Her son...
Concubine Zhen maintained her facial expression and slowly exhaled.
After a long time, Shen Ning brought a lot of rewards and went home with Jia Mu and others. The old lady seemed to be dreaming and it felt unreal.
"You took some risks today."
If he could be saved, it would be a good thing, but what if he couldn't be saved? Prince Zhongshun was not a reasonable person.
He was so sad that he was afraid he would vent his anger on everyone who tried to save his daughter.
"Well, I won't do that again."
Shen Ning was also very scared! In Dream of the Red Chamber, a chief official of Prince Zhongshun's mansion just went to the Jia family and said a few words, which caused the whole Jia family to be in chaos.
Grandmother Jia: “…”
You agreed so readily? Are you just trying to please her? "You!"
The old lady sighed, "That method..." She thought for a moment, "It would be fine to teach it to the people in the Imperial Hospital."
The medical skills of both imperial physicians Wu and Tang are obvious to all.
They treat patients in the harem and various royal palaces.
Now I have to accept Shen’s favor!
With this calculation, saving lives, although risky, is not so bad.
"With the credit for saving the little princess, it will be easier to talk to Concubine Zhen and the Prince Jin's Mansion."
The old lady patted her chest and said, "But I'm old now, so you should take it easy in the future!"
Otherwise, she felt that she would be like the old princess of Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, lying there limp and unable to get up.
"Aunt, wasn't it Princess Jin who was causing trouble for me first?"
Shen Ning is innocent.
But no regrets!
"If I don't make a scene..., Concubine Zhen will definitely set us up in some new way."
If she doesn't make a fuss, she will be known as the most fierce woman in Dazhao.
It was also equivalent to being slapped in the face by Princess Jin in public.
Between being slapped in the face and someone else being slapped in the face, Shen Ning chose to slap the other person in the face. Isn't this the most normal thing to do?
"I don't know why, but when I see her smiling at me, I feel uneasy."
"Alas~"
Old Lady Jia felt the same way, "Fortunately, Concubine Zhen is in the palace. We only see each other a few times a year."
The Duke is no longer around, and the Jia family can’t afford to offend him, so they’ll just stay away from him.
"As for Prince Jin..."
The old lady frowned, "He was also spoiled when he was growing up. I'm afraid he hates us even more now."
Although he hates his niece-in-law more, the Ning and Rong mansions are one family.
"Zhen'er and the others should be more careful when traveling in the future."
Some of the methods that Prince Jin used to get to where he is today were not so brilliant.
It’s just that the emperor dotes on her so much that even the emperor can’t do anything about it.
The old lady could only remind him, "And you, it's okay at home, but when you go out, you must bring more guards."
"Yes! I'll listen to my aunt."
Shen Ning was very obedient at this moment.
She had mixed feelings about the old lady.
In Dream of the Red Chamber, the fact that the Jia family reached that point had a lot to do with the old lady's inaction.
However, that doesn't mean she is not good at all.
People are multifaceted.
And in the end, Grandmother Jia could no longer control the Jia family.
“…”
The old lady believed it a little and patted her hands. "You must have been frightened today, too. Go home and have a bowl of soothing soup."
He is so honest, he must be scared.
Otherwise, it would definitely still be aggressive.
"OK!"
Shen Ning didn't object.
When rescuing people, time is urgent and I just want to save them. I don’t feel anything else.
But now thinking back...
Shen Ning shifted her gaze, "Aunt, what do you think Concubine Zhen wants to tell me?"
Princess Jin did not come out during the entire palace banquet.
“…It’s hard to guess!”
Grandmother Jia sighed again, "However, no matter what is given, we will accept it!" She was afraid that Shen Ning would make a fuss again, "Forcing Prince Jin to divorce Princess Jin will not benefit our family."
Shen Ning: “…”
Should Princess Xiu Jin give her instructions?
What kind of explanation is this? Besides, it's not so easy to divorce a daughter-in-law of a royal family, right? She had mourned for the late queen.
According to the Dazhao Code, those who have observed mourning for their parents-in-law are not exempt from the punishment.
"No way?" She looked incredulous. "Concubine Zhen doesn't seem to be such a stupid person!"
Grandmother Jia: “…”
She wanted to say that Concubine Zhen was not stupid, but you said in public, "Marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations." Wasn't that referring to Princess Jin? This time back at the Prince of Jin's mansion, it would be strange if the Prince of Jin could spare Princess Jin.
"With Concubine Zhen in the palace, even if she wants to take charge of the affairs of Prince Jin's Mansion, sometimes she is powerless."
She said so, but at this time, in Ningfu Palace, Concubine Zhen was still giving instructions to her son.
"...Yun Shi needs to teach him a lesson, but it must not be too much."
Concubine Zhen had a headache, but she had to appease her very irritable son, "She is your first wife, you can't completely deny her just because of a few words from Shen."
King Jin: “…”
He did not completely deny her, but now the whole capital probably knows that he married a stupid woman.
Those brothers must have laughed to death behind my back.
"Mother should have stopped her then."
If he could have stopped it earlier, why would he have lost face like this? "Son, I don't know what you are always worried about?"
He always fails when he needs him most.
It was so then, and it is so now.
The Prince of Jin hated not only the Princess of Jin, but also his good mother. "If you find something wrong, what can you do by giving her a good lesson?"
