Chapter 41
When the first ray of morning light came into the room through the window lattice, Ning Yuezhao turned over and subconsciously lifted the brocade quilt and sat up.

"Oops, I'm going to be late!"

Ning Yuezhao was wondering why no one woke her up today, but a male voice with a smile rang in her ears——

"Don't worry, you don't need to go to court today."

This is Jiang Nian's voice!
Ning Yuezhao turned around and saw that he was resting his hands behind his head and was only wearing a white singlet. The neckline was slightly parted, and his delicate collarbone could be vaguely seen.

Involuntarily grasping the collar of her single shirt, Ning Yuezhao shifted her gaze to his face, frowned and said, "Why are you here?"

"Have you forgotten that yesterday was our wedding day, Your Highness?" Jiang Nian met her eyes, and said quietly, "Your Highness must be too lucky."

Ning Yuezhao's pretty face suddenly turned half black, "Of course I remember."

He was talking nonsense, she didn't sleep long last night, and she was just a little confused for a while.

Jiang Nian also sat up, nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."

Ning Yuezhao looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Didn't you sleep on the couch outside? Why did you come to my bed?"

Jiang Nian made a silent gesture, lowered his voice and said, "The palace people are already waiting outside with their toilets in their hands. If I sleep on the couch again, won't it be suspicious?"

He has always been a light sleeper, and due to his martial arts practice, his hearing is far better than ordinary people.The genius Jiang Nian heard the footsteps of the palace people and the low-pitched conversation outside the door.

Well, this statement is reasonable, and Ning Yuezhao can't blame him anymore.

At this time, Qingchi had pushed the door open and entered, and shouted from the outside through the screen: "Your Highness, Prince Consort, have you got up yet?"

She heard conversations coming from inside, so she went in to take a look.

Before Ning Yuezhao could speak, she heard Jiang Nian say loudly: "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, a line of maids entered the room holding toilet items and clothes.

The two were sitting cross-legged on the bed, Jiang Nian smiled gently, while Ning Yuezhao was a little annoyed.

Their appearance fell into the eyes of others, as if they were a pair of newlyweds who were having a fight.

"Princess is overjoyed, son-in-law is overjoyed!" Qing Chi led all the maids in the palace and said, she even winked at Ning Yuezhao.

"Stay flat." Ning Yuezhao ignored her directly.

Ning Yuezhao got out of bed first, and a maid brought green salt for her to clean her teeth, brought warm water to clean her face, and waited for her to change clothes and freshen up.

From beginning to end, she almost only needs to do a few movements in coordination, showing the honor and pomp of a royal princess.

When Ning Yuezhao finished changing and sat in front of the dressing table, she saw through the bronze mirror that Jiang Nian refused the maid to clean his face, but took a towel to wipe his face.

The same is true for changing clothes, he wears it himself, not by the hands of the maid.

Just when Ning Yuezhao was wondering why he had to do these small things by himself since he was obviously from a family, Jiang Nian noticed that she was watching him through the bronze mirror, and smiled at her in the mirror.

Ning Yuezhao hurriedly looked away and stopped looking at him.

Seeing this, Jiang Nian shook his head slightly.

At this time, the two maids went to make the bed, and when they lifted the brocade quilt, they saw some bright red spots on the bed sheet.

The two court ladies were still young, so they blushed immediately, and were a little at a loss as they tugged at the quilt.

Jiang Nian first noticed their abnormality and glanced over.

At this time, his long hair like ink silk was not tied up, but it was scattered on his shoulders, and there was a slight smile on his handsome face.

The young court lady had never seen such a handsome man, and her face turned even redder immediately.

"Why are you two in a daze!" an older nurse in charge reprimanded with a dark face, "You actually lost your manners in front of the princess and the son-in-law, step back, and go to receive the punishment yourself later."

The eyes of the two little maids were red in an instant, and they looked at Jiang Nian tearfully, hoping that the fairy-like son-in-law could say a few words for them.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Nian still had that half-smile expression, but he didn't say anything.

Ning Yuezhao turned her head, just in time to see some bright red spots on the bed sheet, and couldn't help but sullen.

This guy, when did he do this trick!

Thinking of this fake Luo Hong, she also felt her face burn a little.As for the two little maids, she didn't really care.

As the only daughter of the empress and the crown prince of Daxing, no one would check whether her wedding night was a success, but this did not mean that the empress would not send someone to check whether they really consummated their marriage.

Seeing the displeasure on the princess's face, the nurse in charge thought that the two court ladies were staring at Jiang Nian, making the princess unhappy.She hurriedly flirted with the people next to her, and immediately someone dragged the two maids with their mouths covered, before they even had time to beg for mercy.

"Princess forgive me, it's because the slaves didn't train these two lowly maids well, please punish the princess." Seeing that Ning Yuezhao was still frowning, the nurse in charge hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

Ning Yuezhao's face burned even more, and she said impatiently: "Okay, pack up your things quickly!"

It's an eyesore!
"Yes!" The nurse in charge stood up neatly, quickly took a brand new sheet, replaced the sheet that was stained with "Luohong", and folded the two bright red brocade quilts.

Looking at the newly made beds, everyone secretly sighed, as expected of an old lady who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, her movements are so neat and tidy.

After all this was not enough, the nurse in charge carefully folded the changed bed sheet, held it in front of Jiang Nian, and asked respectfully, "My son-in-law, do you want to keep this?"

Jiang Nian was taken aback when he heard the words, Jun blushed, then coughed a few times and said, "Stay."

Hearing what he said, Ning Yuezhao turned her head and stared at him angrily. Qingchi was pulling her hair up in a bun, and her sudden movement touched her scalp.

"Hiss..." Ning Yuezhao couldn't help covering her temples, gritted her teeth and cried out in pain.

Seeing her expression like this, Jiang Nian inexplicably felt his heart skip a beat, and the shyness just now gradually faded away.

At this time, a court lady brought another bronze mirror, and he put his hair up in a bun with the mirror in his hands, and fixed it with a white jade hairpin. In the mirror, a handsome and unrestrained young man in a troubled world was reflected.

After the two of them packed up, they took a car together and drove slowly towards the Hall of Rising Dragons.

In the carriage, Ning Yuezhao asked him in a low voice, "When did you do your hands and feet?"

Jiang Nian winked at her, "Guess."

Ning Yuezhao was furious, "It's fine if you don't say anything."

"Okay." Jiang Nian put away his cynical expression, and stretched out his index finger solemnly, but saw a wound on the fingertip with a sharp weapon.

The flesh of the wound retracted inward, and the blood on it also condensed into dark brown.

Seeing him like this, Ning Yuezhao lost most of her anger, "Actually, you don't have to do this."

The queen knew her very well, and this kind of deception could only hide it from others.

Jiang Nian shook his head and said meaningfully, "We must make people believe that we are a loving couple."

Ning Yuezhao didn't pick up his topic again, and instead asked, "Why didn't you let the maid help you to wash and change your clothes just now?"

The Jiang family is a century-old family, and it is also a family of Zhongming Dingshi. How could it be possible that he, a dignified son, would do these things by himself?
Jiang Nian smiled and explained: "I used to travel and study abroad alone, and I am used to doing these things by myself."

Ning Yuezhao suddenly realized that it was so.

Jiang Nian added: "Did you see the way those two maids looked at me? If I let them serve, it would be like giving them a chance to seduce me."

Ning Yuezhao was shocked, and said in disgust, "Can you be more narcissistic?" It's really shameless, how could there be such a thick-skinned person?
Jiang Nian took it for granted, "I'm telling the truth."

Ning Yuezhao said contemptuously: "Since this is the case, how about ordering the eunuch to take care of you in the palace tomorrow?"

Jiang Nian shook his head, "That won't work, I didn't even pass the well tea in, I just didn't want others to peek at your beauty."

Ning Yuezhao snorted, speaking as if it was true.

However, if she is praised, she is still very useful.

While the two were chatting, the carriage had already arrived at the Hall of Rising Dragon.

Just after getting out of the car, Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao sensed an unusual aura.

The palace is also decorated with festive items, but the palace people all look gloomy.

After the transmission, the person who came out to greet Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian was not Bitao either.

After stepping into the main hall, the empress had already changed and sat on the throne, her face paler than yesterday.

And Bitao was holding the Queen's hand, seeing them coming in, she hurriedly let go, her brows were full of worry.

"See Queen Mother." The two knelt down and saluted together.

"Let's get back on your feet." The queen put out a smile on her pale face, leaning on the armrests with both hands, her expression was indescribably tired.

Ning Yuezhao walked up to the empress in a few steps, and asked nervously: "Empress, your complexion is very bad, is there something uncomfortable?"

The queen tightened her hand holding the armrest, and the wide sleeves covered the veins on the back of her hand. She tried her best to say, "There is nothing uncomfortable."

Ning Yuezhao frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Come here, tell the imperial doctor."

"Don't pass it on!" The queen's voice suddenly became sharper, her eyes and lips coughed a few times, "I'm fine, Bitao, let someone bring the tea."

Bitao quickly motioned to the maid beside her, and soon, two cups of tea were served.

Ning Yuezhao had no choice but to take one with Jiang Nian, kneel respectfully in front of the queen, and both raised the tea cup above their heads—

"Empress, please have some tea."

"Okay..." The queen took Ning Yuezhao's cup first, took a sip, and couldn't help coughing again.

"Empress!" Ning Yuezhao called her anxiously.

The queen waved her hand, handed the teacup to the maid next to her, and picked up Jiang Nian's one, but at this moment, her hand was shaking a little, and some tea spilled out.

"Emperor Mother." Jiang Nian couldn't help frowning.

"Zhen... no..." The queen lifted the lid of the teacup, brought it to her lips, and took a sip.

Bitao hurriedly took the crumbling teacup and handed it to the maid.

The empress seemed to have settled down on a worry, and said with a sense of relief: "Okay, I finally drink the tea you served, and I will die in peace."

As soon as she finished speaking, her body fell straight forward.

Jiang Nian, with quick eyes and quick hands, immediately caught her, and turned over her to have a look.I saw that the Queen had closed her eyes, a smear of blood spilled from the corner of her lips, and there was even wet blood on her sleeves.

"Emperor Mother!" Ning Yuezhao was devastated, "Come here, tell the imperial physician!"

Then, she rushed to the queen, took the queen from Jiang Nian, and hugged her tightly.

The palace servants of Rising Dragon Hall knelt down one after another, sobbing everywhere.

"It's useless." Jiang Nian probed the Queen's breath, and said in a trembling voice, "The Emperor died..."
