Chapter 92 It really wasn't her that night!
Mingluan Palace.
Jiang Ning smiled at the Empress's vow.
"Your Majesty, as you know, the medicines I use are all extremely rare, so the consultation fee is a bit expensive."
The Empress frowned and said, "I know that you saved Guo Zilin and asked the Guo family for 500,000 taels of silver."
Five hundred thousand taels to buy a life is a good deal.
Jiang Ning nodded: "Guo Zilin was on the verge of death at the time, and I was only responsible for bringing down his fever and saving his life."
"Her Majesty the Empress's craniotomy was extremely precise, requiring expensive instruments and medications..."
Before Jiang Ning could finish speaking, the Empress impatiently said, "Five million taels of silver, how about it?"
Jiang Ning beamed and said happily, "Deal."
The Empress coldly warned, "Jiang Ning, I have one condition: you are not allowed to mention my illness to anyone. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
Jiang Ning agreed without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have medical ethics."
The Queen nodded in satisfaction.
"Princess Ling, this servant will see you out."
After finalizing the examination plan with the Empress, Granny Jin respectfully stepped forward and saw Jiang Ning out.
Yuwen Jue was waiting for her.
Seeing that she came out safely, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"How is the Empress?"
Granny Jin kept a close eye on Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, just a headache from the wind. It'll be fine after some treatment."
Yuwen Jue was skeptical.
Only then was Granny Jin relieved, and she bowed and watched the two leave.
After the two had walked away, Granny Jin coldly looked at Granny Nie kneeling on the ground.
"Get up, Her Majesty the Empress is waiting for you inside."
Granny Nie's cheeks were flushed red from slapping herself. She got up and respectfully went inside.
"Your Majesty, this servant knows her mistake."
The Empress rubbed her temples and asked coldly, "Do you know why I am punishing you?"
Granny Nie stammered, "This servant shouldn't have been so talkative. Her Majesty the Empress is right to reprimand me."
The Empress sighed, looking exhausted.
"You have been by my side for many years, how could I bear to teach you a lesson? But now my life is in the hands of Princess Ling, and you must not be disrespectful to her until I recover."
"yes."
Granny Nie responded respectfully, then lowered her head and remained silent.
Granny Jin stepped forward and gently massaged the Empress's temples.
"Your Majesty, do you really trust Princess Ling? Should we have another doctor examine her?"
The Empress nodded, "Go and invite a folk doctor over, but be careful not to alarm the Emperor and the harem."
If, as Jiang Ning says, she is indeed very ill, then this matter must not be easily spread.
Otherwise, the previous dynasty would inevitably be engulfed in bloodshed, and the women in the harem would vie for her position as empress!
Inside the carriage, Yuwen Jue's deep black eyes held a dark and unfathomable gaze.
"Jiang Ning, what exactly happened to the Empress?"
Jiang Ning rolled her eyes: "According to the confidentiality rules between doctors and patients, I can't tell you."
Yuwen Jue's lips curled up, and he said coldly, "But I am your husband. Husband and wife are one. What is there that cannot be said?"
His deep black eyes gazed at her, his handsome, angular face filled with curiosity.
Such a strikingly beautiful face is truly irresistible.
Jiang Ning gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.
He said with exceptional firmness, "You don't need to ask, I won't tell you."
That's five million taels of silver! How could she possibly succumb to the allure of such a handsome man!
Yuwen Jue shook his head: "Even if you don't tell me, I will find a way to find out the truth!"
"Please feel free to do as you please."
Jiang Ning yawned and leaned against the carriage, feeling drowsy.
Yuwen Jue gazed at her quietly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
The Guo family held a wedding banquet that lasted until evening.
Guo Zilin has recovered, but he is still reluctant to see people, and it is always the Guo family who entertain the guests.
In the backyard, Jiang Baoqing was dressed in an ill-fitting wedding gown and sat shivering on the edge of the bed.
Outside the door, countless guards stood watch, making it impossible for her to escape.
Footsteps and the respectful voices of guards could be heard in the courtyard.
"Young Master."
"kindness."
Guo Zilin's gloomy voice rang out, "No need to guard anymore, this young master is going to consummate our marriage!"
Inside the door, Jiang Baoqing trembled all over, tightly gripping the hairpin in her hand.
Guo Zilin was a eunuch! She had heard that eunuchs had special fetishes in that area...
If Guo Zilin dares to hurt her, she will drag him to hell even if it means her death!
Jiang Baoqing was lost in thought when Guo Zilin pushed the door open and came in.
He has always been obese, and these days, while resting in bed and eating more nutritious food, he has become even rounder than before.
Now, dressed in a large wedding robe, he looks like a pig wrapped in red cloth.
Jiang Baoqing felt both scared and disgusted, and almost vomited.
"Jiang Baoqing, we've finally met again."
Guo Zilin closed the door and grinned menacingly at Jiang Baoqing, "Do you remember last time at Zuixianlou? That night, I'll never forget it!"
Tonight, he also wanted to give Jiang Baoqing an unforgettable night!
"Young Master Guo... I... I'm truly innocent!"
Jiang Baoqing was so frightened that she hid in the corner of the bed and hugged herself tightly.
With tears streaming down her face, she explained, "Young Master Guo, it really was Jiang Ning who hurt you that night!"
Guo Zilin smiled sinisterly, sat down on the edge of the bed, and stared at Jiang Baoqing with a dark and menacing look.
"You think I can't resist Princess Ling and you? Jiang Baoqing, do you really think I'm a fool?"
Looking at his yellowed teeth, Jiang Baoqing felt a wave of nausea.
“I know I don’t have any evidence, but my family members can all testify that I was really home that night!”
Guo Zilin raised his thick palm and slapped Jiang Baoqing hard across the face.
With a "smack," a pig's trotter-like mark appeared on Jiang Baoqing's pretty face.
She was in pain and scared, covering her face as she looked at Guo Zilin in fear.
Guo Zilin grinned menacingly and pulled a whip from his pocket.
"Jiang Baoqing, you poisonous woman, you're still framing Princess Ling even now!"
"Princess Ling is kind-hearted and beautiful; she saved my life. How could I allow you to insult her?!"
Guo Zilin lashed the whip heavily at Jiang Baoqing, and screams soon echoed from the bridal chamber.
The Guo family members seemed unsurprised by this, and simply went about their business as usual.
Jiang Baoqing was beaten so badly that she ran away with her head in her hands. Her wedding robe was torn to shreds and hung on her body like a rag.
She was disheveled and looked extremely miserable.
Finally, Jiang Baoqing could no longer bear it and knelt down at Guo Zilin's feet with a thud, pleading in a trembling voice.
"Young Master Guo, no... Husband! I'll listen to you from now on, please don't hit me anymore, okay?"
Guo Zilin's face was contorted with rage. He lifted her chin with his hand and gave a cold command.
"Take off your clothes and lie down!"
Jiang Baoqing shuddered and did as she was told.
She lay humiliated in the smooth brocade quilt, tears already filling her eyes.
That night, she clearly knocked Jiang Ning unconscious and drugged her.
How exactly did Jiang Ning escape from Guo Zilin's clutches?!
Was it due to her immense strength? Why didn't Guo Zilin mention it?
Guo Zilin had already taken off his wedding robes and leaned closer.
Looking at his strange and bizarre body, Jiang Baoqing trembled like a leaf.
Guo Zilin looked down, his eyes bloodshot and terrifying.
"Jiang Baoqing, all of this is thanks to you! I will keep you by my side forever and torment you day and night!"
