Zhou Ning'an walked in and said with a smile: "You saved me, and you also saved the emperor and my child. This is what we deserve."
She sat down beside Jiang Ling's bed and looked at her tenderly and gratefully.
She changed from "this lady" to "I", which was enough to show her closeness to Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling pursed her lips and said softly, "My Lady, Ling'er is not doing this."
"I know." Zhou Ning'an said, "But I have to thank her future aunt on behalf of my child, right?"
She stroked her lower abdomen and pulled Jiang Ling's hand close to it.
Zhou Ning'an's belly was flat and she wasn't pregnant yet, but the moment Jiang Ling pressed against her, it was as if they were touching her from a distance, and her heart softened unconsciously.
Is this her future nephew or niece?
Ahem... Jiang Ling was a little shy and looked up at Zhou Jingan. He didn't say much the whole time, but his eyes were always on her.
When he saw Jiang Ling looking at him, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were still gentle and worried.
She looked at her father again. He was obviously very unhappy with Zhou Ning'an's behavior of bringing his precious daughter to their home so early.
They haven't even gotten married yet! What aunt?! Don't try to get close to me!
But then he thought about how Zhou Jing'an was not allowed to enter the house due to the rules, so he stayed outside Jiang Ling's house without leaving. His appearance did not seem fake, which made him reluctantly satisfied.
It seems that he loves his daughter very much. This boy is sensible!
Zhou Ning'an smiled and said to her, "The Emperor personally conferred upon you the title of Princess Yunxi. This title was not proposed by me."
Princess Yunxi?
Jiang Ling was genuinely surprised for a moment.
There is only one princess in the current Dagan Dynasty, and that is Su Wantang, the only daughter of Aunt Feng Yu.
Most of my aunt's family was separated in the turmoil at that time, leaving only Su Wantang, whose parents had both died. She was also injured in the turmoil and her legs were damaged, so she could not walk long distances.
Feng Yu only has this one aunt in his maternal grandparents' family, and she has only one daughter, Su Wantang. Therefore, the Queen Mother and he both love Su Wantang very much, and named her Princess Yunyi. She now lives with the Queen Mother.
Now she is named Princess Yunxi, ranking behind Princess Yunyi, which is enough to show her weight as a princess.
"This..." She was stunned for a few breaths, and hurriedly stood up, "I will go and personally thank the emperor for his grace."
Zhou Ning'an quickly held her down and said soothingly, "He's busy right now. You should get well first and thank him later."
Feng Yu was busy inspecting various places in the palace at this time. He wanted to see how many of their people were still in this huge palace.
Is his palace leaking air everywhere like a funnel?
As for the reward given to Jiang Ling, he didn't think it was a big deal.
If it weren’t for Jiang Ling, who knows what would have happened to Zhou Ning’an and the baby in her belly. Maybe one of them would have died.
If Zhou Ning'an was knocked into the lotus pond and anything went wrong, he didn't dare to think about whether he would massacre the entire palace in a fit of rage.
Compared to these, what is a princess?
It's okay to give her more and greater honor.
-
It was already evening when Jiang Ling woke up. After examining her, Doctor Lin said that she was fine and just needed to take good care of herself.
She insisted on leaving the palace and returning home, as she couldn't stay here overnight.
Zhou Ning'an couldn't persuade her, so he sent a sedan chair to carry her so that she wouldn't have to walk the long palace road.
Lights were lit everywhere in the palace, and the night was dim.
The palace ladies on the road all lowered their heads and walked lightly, not daring to look around or talk nonsense, which made the palace city even more solemn and majestic.
Jiang Ling sighed softly, hoping that this time the emperor would conduct a thorough investigation and remove the chess piece hiding in the dark.
The carriage clattered along the bluestone road. Jiang Ling felt that she was fine now. It was just that the few sips of water she choked on at the beginning made her feel uncomfortable, causing her nasal cavity and chest to feel a little blocked.
This matter was finally over, and Jiang Ling felt a lot more relieved.
After pondering for a long time, she lifted the curtain and looked at the figure on the tall horse next to her.
"Master Zhou."
Zhou Jing'an rode his horse closely to her left. When he heard her voice, he immediately lowered his head and leaned closer: "Ling'er, what's wrong?"
"Ling'er is feeling uneasy. If someone wants to harm the Empress, then besides Panxia, there must be other people and methods involved." She frowned and said worriedly, "I hope you can conduct a thorough investigation, especially the Imperial Food Bureau and the Imperial Hospital. It's better to be cautious with people and things that are so close to her."
Don't let Doctor An run away, he might come out and harm people again in the future.
Zhou Jing'an nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the palace later and report to the Emperor."
He looked at Jiang Ling's still pale face, frowned, and wanted to say a few more words of concern, when he heard two low coughs from the side.
Jiang Ling also heard it and couldn't help laughing. He lowered the curtain and moved to the right, lifted the curtain, and looked at the figure sitting on a tall horse on the right side of the carriage.
She narrowed her eyes and asked with concern, "Daddy just coughed twice, is he catching a cold?"
Jiang Lianshan had just taken his eyes off Zhou Jing'an on his left when he heard his precious daughter's concern and immediately smiled.
"It's okay, Daddy is in good health."
He bent down slightly and said, "Ling'er is weak and has caught a cold. It's better for her to stay in the carriage and avoid the wind."
Jiang Ling couldn't help but laugh.
Her father is jealous and doesn't want her to talk to Zhou Jingan all the time.
"Okay, daughter will listen to daddy." She lowered the curtain to block out the night outside.
Two handsome and tall men were guarding the two sides of the carriage, never leaving. Jiang Ling felt like she was being guarded by a knight.
