Uncle Shen is very fast.
Half a month later, he selected Chen Ningdan, the most beautiful, knowledgeable and well-mannered girl in the clan, and sent her to the Queen Mother's palace.
The Queen Mother looked at the fair-skinned, charming, shy and timid Chen Ningdan and nodded with satisfaction.
The Queen Mother was bedridden due to illness.
Xiao Jiuchen acted like a good emperor and a filial son, and went to visit the Empress Dowager's palace with Luo Qingqing.
The Empress Dowager looked at the sunlight-drenched spring scenery outside and said regretfully, "I really want to go to Jingshan to see the peach blossoms. I heard that the peach blossoms there are in full bloom. I wonder if the Empress could go and pick a few branches for me?"
Xiao Jiuchen frowned and subconsciously refused: "It takes more than an hour to go from the palace to Jingshan and back. The Queen is in a delicate condition and is not suitable for such a long journey. I will ask the guards to go now."
Luo Qingqing nodded and agreed.
First of all, she really wanted to go out of the palace for a walk.
Secondly, she saw Chen Ningdan beside the Queen Mother frequently looking at Xiao Jiuchen with admiring eyes, and she guessed in her heart that the Queen Mother wanted to force a woman on Xiao Jiuchen.
Luo Qingqing felt inexplicably happy that someone was sharing Xiao Jiuchen's energy with her.
At the same time, she also wanted to know what choice Xiao Jiuchen would make.
Chen Ningdan has fair skin. When she looks up, she is as beautiful as a peach blossom, and when she looks down, she is as shy as a crabapple.
As a woman, she couldn't help but take a second look.
What’s more, Xiao Jiuchen is such an energetic man?
The Queen Mother looked pleased and urged Luo Qingqing: "Then the Queen should go and come back quickly. The flowers are probably in full bloom now."
Luo Qingqing looked at Shen Ningdan, who looked anxious and eager to try, and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Jiuchen reluctantly pulled her along, "I'll go with you."
The Queen Mother immediately stopped him: "Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country and are busy with state affairs. How can you leave the palace at will?"
Luo Qingqing smiled at Xiao Jiuchen soothingly, "I will be back soon."
Xiao Jiuchen called a team of imperial guards and instructed them to protect the queen's safety.
After Luo Qingqing left the palace, the Queen Mother still kept talking to Xiao Jiuchen.
Nanny Lan poured the tea again and poured in a small packet of colorless powder.
Chen Ningdan watched Xiao Jiuchen finish the newly served tea, and then saw that his expression was becoming increasingly strange, and her heart suddenly began to beat like a drum.
The images in the picture albums that the Queen Mother had shown her a few days ago now flooded into her mind so clearly.
She imagined the most noble emperor in the world oppressing her...
She will definitely be happy and she will become the most envied woman in the world.
Xiao Jiuchen slowly noticed the changes in Yizhuqingtian.
The familiar feeling from that night in Rucheng spread throughout my body.
Xiao Jiuchen glanced at the empress dowager with a sharp gaze.
As he was speaking, he suddenly propped up his head and said, "Empress Dowager, I feel a little unwell. I will return to the palace first."
Anxiety welled up on the Empress Dowager's face. "What's wrong with the Emperor? Someone come quickly and help him go back to rest. Ningdan, go with us and report back if you have any news."
The Queen Mother looked at Shen Ningdan deeply.
Chen Ningdan lowered her head shyly, her eyes full of charm.
She stepped forward to support Xiao Jiuchen, but Xiao Jiuchen dodged and she could only follow him closely.
After leaving the Empress Dowager's Yuanshou Palace, Xiao Jiuchen ordered his men to go straight to the north gate.
Eunuch Yang was surprised. "If Your Majesty is feeling unwell, you should return to the palace to rest. Where are you going?"
Xiao Jiuchen was sweating profusely. With a deep look in his eyes, he uttered a few words: "Go find the Queen."
Although Eunuch Yang was not a perfect man, after seeing Xiao Jiuchen's condition and Chen Ningdan who was following closely, he immediately understood the twists and turns.
He nodded in agreement and asked someone to prepare the sedan chair.
Xiao Jiuchen said in a broken voice: "Prepare the fast horses."
He felt more and more uncomfortable, as if millions of ants were gnawing at his body.
This medicine is completely different from the one taken that night in Rucheng.
He was extremely clear-headed, but his body was clamoring to go against his reason.
When Chen Ningdan heard that Xiao Jiuchen was actually going to abandon her ready-made antidote and go find Luo Qingqing, she immediately felt something was wrong.
She rushed towards Xiao Jiuchen and said shyly, "Your Majesty, I can help you share your worries."
Xiao Jiuchen was so fast that he kicked Chen Ningdan away and ordered with a cold face: "Hide this woman's identity and send her to the Northwest Military Camp to comfort the soldiers."
Shen Ningdan’s eyes widened in horror.
This means she is to be a soldier.
Once you do it a few times, you will end up being ridden by thousands of people.
She is the daughter of Shen, how could she end up like that?
Two attendants came to drag Shen Ningdan away, and she roared unwillingly: "Your Majesty, I am the daughter of the Shen family, you can't do this to me, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother will inquire about this matter, Your Majesty..."
The three words "Shen's daughter" made Xiao Jiuchen even angrier.
During this period, Shen Ruhai gathered his own forces and opposed his use of military generals and upright officials in the court, which made him very unhappy.
Now the Queen Mother has drugged him, intending to make him marry Shen's daughter.
All of this is just the Shen family's attempt to consolidate their power.
Not to mention that he has Jiaojiao in his heart, he will not betray his Jiaojiao.
Even if he didn't have Jiaojiao in his heart, he would not let the Shen family's plan succeed.
Xiao Jiuchen smiled grimly and ordered his two attendants: "Throw her into the prison cell of the Pacification Division first and let the prisoners enjoy her. Miss Shen is so impatient, I believe the prisoners will definitely satisfy you."
Shen Ningdan's eyes were bloodshot, and she was finally scared.
No one can stop the emperor's wrath.
She screamed in fear, "Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me, I will never do it again, I will never do it again."
Xiao Jiuchen took big strides forward.
