Chapter 240 Something happened to Qi Xiuwei!

Shen Ningning was surprised, her little face full of eagerness: "How do you know I have a red mole?"

Concubine Rong said: "Two months after my sister gave birth to her little daughter, she asked Prime Minister Xie to draw a portrait of mother and daughter, and I have seen it."

"Because when the portrait was just painted, Prime Minister Xie took it to the palace to show off his precious daughter to the ministers and even the emperor."

"However," Concubine Rong pressed her eyebrows, seeming a little troubled: "I don't remember it accurately. I'm afraid that I remembered it wrongly about the red mole on my hand."

"But there is one person who must know, because she looks at it most carefully."

Shen Ningning looked anxious, her eyes full of hope: "Who is it? I'll go find her!"

"Concubine Li." Concubine Rong said, her tone a little regretful: "Concubine Li is now imprisoned in the palace. I'm afraid you won't be able to see her. The emperor has issued an order, and I can't help you."

Shen Ningning's round little face was suddenly filled with disappointment.

She sat back in a daze, rubbing her little hands, her eyes full of confusion.

Concubine Rong's soft voice came: "Don't be too sad, maybe I remembered it wrong, but I have always had this doubt in my heart, and I finally said it out today."

"Princess, I really hope that you are the daughter of the Xie family, the child that my sister regards as a treasure. As long as you can confirm the red mole on the painting, you will definitely know whether you are the daughter of the Xie family."

Shen Ningning had seen the painting that Concubine Rong was talking about in Prime Minister Xie's study.

At some point, the little guy's eyes turned red: "I understand, Your Majesty, let me... think of a way."

Concubine Rong pretended not to hear and looked out the window: "It's getting late. I'll send someone to take you back. I'm afraid it's going to snow again soon."

Shen Ningning said thank you twice and followed the eldest maid away.

As soon as they entered the sedan and the curtain was lowered, the pretended anxiety on the little guy's face suddenly disappeared.

There was only a deep coldness in her eyes. Shen Ningning lowered her face. She didn't know what she thought of and rubbed her arms coldly.

Concubine Li...

she thought.

She had just returned to Shuixehuawu and said goodbye to Concubine Rong's palace attendants. After walking across the long bridge, Shen Ningning heard her aunt's anxious call: "Go and call the imperial doctor, quickly!"

Accompanied by the cry of a little palace maid: "It's not good, Miss Qi has no breath."

The ladies were so frightened that they fell on their backs and screamed again and again.

Something happened to Qi Xiuwei?

Shen Ningning came back to her senses, grabbed a pot of spiritual spring water soaked in ginseng from the fairyland with her little hands, and hurriedly ran towards the place where the noise was coming.

I saw everyone gathered in the main hall, and the floor was covered with soft cloth. Qi Xiuwei was soaked, lying there with a pale face, lifeless.

There were fire pots all around, but she was still very cold!

The eldest aunt kept rubbing her hands and ordered in a hurry: "Bring the soju quickly, Hua Man Yue Man, you two take off Miss Qi's shoes and socks, and rub her feet and legs with the wine!"

The two little maids said tremblingly, "Yes!"

Shen Ningning quickly squeezed into the crowd.

"Auntie, I brought ginseng water. You guys hold Wei'er up while I feed her!"

Upon hearing the word ginseng, the eldest aunt quickly helped Qi Xiuwei up.

With the help of the palace maid, Shen Ningning poured water into Qi Xiuwei's mouth bit by bit.

After a while, the doctor came.

Seeing this scene, the imperial doctor hurriedly said: "What are you waiting for? Take her into the house and change into clean clothes."

Later, the imperial doctor asked the female doctor to prepare a decoction that would save his life and restore his soul.

At this moment, a cry came from the door, and Xie Yuanjiu was held by the little palace maid, crying miserably.

"Is Miss Qi okay? If she dies, I will also be responsible."

Everyone chattered to comfort her.

Ye Changyi glanced at Shen Ningning coldly and said, "How can I blame you? If someone hadn't kept the deer in Huawu, Miss Qi wouldn't have stumbled and fallen into the water looking for the deer. Here."

After hearing this, Shen Ningning suddenly faced Ye Changyi with a stern look on her face: "What did you say?"

Ye Changyi was startled by the aura on her body.

He stuttered inexplicably: "What, what's wrong? Where did I say something wrong? If you don't believe me, ask the palace people here."

Shen Ningning looked at the little palace maid: "What happened?" After listening to the little palace maid's story, she realized that Qi Xiuwei had just returned to Shuixie Huawu and found that everyone was not there.

The eldest aunt took them to know the way to the East Fourth Palace, but she hadn't come back yet. Only Xie Yuanjiu was walking around anxiously in Huawu, as if she was looking for something.

After some questioning, Xie Yuanjiu told her that the deer brought by Shen Ningning had just broken free of the rope and ran away.

When Qi Xiuwei heard that it was Shen Ningning's deer, she immediately offered to help find it.

Unexpectedly, she found the back garden of Shuixie Huawu along the way. Few people went there, it was close to the water and there was no guardrail.

The sika deer was standing by the water, seemingly frozen.

In order to pull it over, Qi Xiuwei stepped on broken ice, fell suddenly and slipped into the cold lake water.

When Shen Ningning heard this, she immediately asked Xie Yuanjiu: "Sister Xie, aren't you looking for her together? After she fell into the water, did you call the palace attendant immediately?"

Xie Yuanjiu covered her face and cried: "In order to find your deer quickly, Miss Qi and I searched for it separately. I was not with her."

"Huawu is so big, I didn't even know she fell into the water, and I didn't hear a cry for help."

A lady next to her was still frightened.

"If the Imperial Army hadn't been patrolling across the lake and saw a person floating on the water, I'm afraid that by the time we found Qi Xiuwei again, she would have been..."

No one dared to say the word death. The girls were timid and cowered in fear.

The even more cowardly ones cried on the spot and said they wanted to go home.

Shen Ningning's eyes were dark and lively, and her little face seemed to be thinking about something.

She suddenly asked: "Where is that sika deer?"

"Captain Pei went into the water to fish Miss Qi out. I just saw him dragging the deer to the side hall."

There are all little girls here, and the Imperial Guards should avoid suspicion.

When Shen Ningning heard this, she immediately walked eastward and headed straight to the side hall of Huawu.

Ye Changyi looked at her back and snorted from the tip of her nose.

"This time the princess's sika deer almost killed someone!"

Xie Yuanjiu looked pale and said softly: "You can't say that. After all, the deer is a beast and doesn't understand anything. No wonder the princess."

Everyone lamented: "It's already this time, and you're still speaking for her."

But some people said: "I don't think the princess is to blame for this matter at all. Sika deer are timid by nature. Could they have been frightened to go there?"

Everyone immediately went into a frenzy and started discussing.

Everyone began to suspect that someone was deliberately causing trouble.

At this time, the little palace maid who was supporting Xie Yuanjiu suddenly said: "Miss Xie, your face looks so bad!"

Xie Yuanjiu coughed slightly: "My cold is really bad, so I won't accompany you all. I will go back to rest first and say goodbye."

The little palace maid supported her and walked weakly.

At this time, Shen Ningning had already entered the side hall.

A young man with a cold figure was twisting the water on his outer robe, while the sika deer, known as the "initiator", carefully curled up next to him and took a nap.

Hearing the movement, the sika deer stood up in fright. However, after seeing that it was Shen Ningning, it lay down again with peace of mind.

Pei Yin noticed this and looked towards the door with cold eyes. When he saw Shen Ningning, he immediately raised his hands and said respectfully: "Pei Yin, a humble official, please see the princess."

Shen Ningning waved her little hand: "Without courtesy, I want to come and see how the sika deer are doing."

Pei Yin nodded: "Bizhi was about to leave. This sika deer is considered an 'evidence' and should not be disposed of casually, so I brought it here. Now that the princess is here, this sika deer will be handed over to you."

"However, this deer seems to have been quite frightened. When Ji Zhi just approached, it lost control several times and even wanted to hurt people. The princess should be more careful."

Shen Ningning nodded: "Thank you very much, Colonel Pei, please go out first and I will comfort it."

Pei Yin picked up his wet robe and prepared to leave.

When passing by Shen Ningning, he suddenly asked: "Princess, have you tied a rope to this sika deer before? There is a wound on its ankle, which looks like it was worn by the rope."

Shen Ningning was startled.
