Chapter 75
After Jiang Nian heard Fu Liao's words, his face was calm, but his heart was burning.

In his previous life, he and Ning Yuezhao had such an unpleasant experience. Recently, the two of them can be described as harmonious in this respect. Naturally, he also knows how to taste.

"... I know..." Jiang Nian said calmly, he was not a lustful person, but when facing the one he loved, it was inevitable that he would be distracted.Forget it, for the sake of her body, I can always restrain myself.

When it was time for the early court, Jiang Nian asked Bi Tao to look at Ning Yuezhao, and then changed into court clothes and went to Chongtian Hall.

The ministers already knew about His Majesty's illness last night, but fortunately there is nothing important today.

The biggest thing is that the Qiu Wei of the Women's Scholars Department ended successfully yesterday.

Jiang Nian personally asked Qin Suqian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, about relevant matters, and then withdrew from the court.

After going to court, Jiang Nian was not in a hurry to go back to the Ascension Dragon Hall, but went to see Zuo Ming in person at the Governor's Mansion of the Forbidden Army.

On the face of it, it was His Royal Highness who came to the Forbidden Army Governor's Mansion to inquire about the defense of the palace.

In fact, Jiang Nian came to him to find out the cause of the Queen's death and Ning Yuezhao's being bewitched. Now there are only him and Zuo Ming in the palace.

Jiang Nian first told him about Ning Yuezhao's illness last night in detail, and told him the results of Fu Liao's diagnosis and treatment.

"I have some suspicions that the person who poisoned His Majesty is An Chen. What I want you to investigate is whether he has contact with You Miao Jiang. In addition, the group of guards who are in charge of guarding An Chen, you ask them to come to see me in turn .”

The southwestern part of Beiqi is bordered by the Miao border. Since An Chen is related to the Beiqi royal family, maybe he has been in contact with the Miao people, so it may not be certain that he will be poisonous.

When Zuo Ming heard that the Empress's illness was still so strange, he couldn't help being shocked, and cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best."

Jiang Nian paused, and then said: "Do you think His Majesty's condition is very similar to that of the previous emperor?"

Zuo Ming thought for a while, and said: "There are indeed some similarities. Do you suspect that the cause of the late emperor's death is also related to Gu poison?"

Jiang Nian nodded: "Gu is so skeptical, An Chen has always taken care of the late emperor's illness."

Zuo Ming frowned and said: "At the beginning, the death of the late emperor had been thoroughly investigated, and there was no problem. Besides, An Chen was already under house arrest at the Imperial Hospital. How could there be any way? Besides, it has been so long , even if there is any evidence, it will disappear.”

Because the two are very familiar with each other now, Zuo Ming stopped being polite to him and told the truth.

Jiang Nian insisted, "If it is really Miao Gu, even if he is in the imperial hospital, he can still control the late emperor's illness. Now he is also under house arrest, but His Majesty is still ill."

Zuo Ming had to admit that what Jiang Nian said was reasonable, but he only wanted to investigate the source of the Gu poison. As for whether An Chen did it, he still needed to see the evidence.

"I know what His Highness means, and I will do my best to investigate."

After getting Zuo Ming's promise, Jiang Nian let go of one thing that was on his mind. As for Ning Yuezhao's illness, he left it to Fu Liao to figure out a solution.

There are two groups of guards in charge of monitoring An Chen, two groups, one group of guards is responsible for monitoring for six hours.

The guards on duty last night had just been replaced, and they were summoned to the residence of the Imperial Guard.

Zuo Mingduan sat at the head and asked in a solemn voice: "Did anything unusual happen when you were on duty during this time?"

The two guards looked at each other, recalled and said: "Commander Qi, nothing unusual happened! Doctor An is just writing silently except eating, drinking and sleeping every day. He gets up at Mao every day, and stays silent until Haishi at night. I went to rest."

Hearing this, Zuo Ming pondered for a while, Gu poison may not be caused by human manipulation to cause illness, perhaps as long as it is successfully injected, it will cause illness.

"It's nothing, you guys go back and rest first, if you find any changes in the imperial doctor An in the future, you must report it immediately!"

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

After the two guards left, Jiang Nian came out from the back hall.

Zuo Ming said to him: "I think it's better to send someone to Miao Jiang first."

Jiang Nian shook his head, "The Miao people have always hated the Han people. I'm afraid they were killed by the Miao people before they entered the Miao Village."

Zuo Ming pondered for a while and said: "Then let's start from the palace. Your Majesty almost never leaves the palace, and the only way to be infected by the gu is in the palace."

Jiang Nian added: "The investigation started after An Chen entered the palace."

This is destined not to be a simple matter, and their time is still very limited.

When Jiang Nian returned to Shenglong Palace, Ning Yuezhao had already woken up leisurely, and Bitao was serving her with some medicinal porridge.

Fu Liao said that Ning Yuezhao's loss of qi and blood was due to Gu poison in his body, and it would be useless to drink medicine, so he changed the prescription of medicated food.

Ning Yuezhao also drank the medicine so that her tongue became bitter and her appetite was lost, but now that she has changed to the medicine diet, she is naturally the most eager.

Jiang Nian walked to the bedside table and sat down, took the porridge from Bitao's hand, scooped up a spoonful of it, blew it cold, and fed it to her mouth.

For some reason, Ning Yuezhao thought of the situation when she served porridge and medicine when her mother was seriously ill.

Thinking of her current situation, she couldn't help but her heart sank again, even the medicinal porridge didn't taste as good as before.

"Jiang Nian, tell me the truth, is my illness getting worse?" Ning Yuezhao asked suddenly.

Jiang Nian rubbed her hair, "No, it's because you've been working too hard recently, just rest for a few days and you'll be fine."

"But..." Ning Yuezhao always felt that something was wrong and couldn't tell. She just started to deal with some government affairs recently, and she didn't feel tired.

Jiang Nian took another spoonful of medicinal porridge and fed it to her lips, saying: "Don't think too much, everything is up to me, thinking too much is not good for your illness."

Ning Yuezhao nodded, and finished the medicinal porridge absent-mindedly.

That night, when the two were lying side by side on the couch, Ning Yuezhao took the initiative to stick his arm.

Jiang Nian couldn't help trembling, pulled out his arm without a trace, and pushed her sideways, "Azhao...I'm a little tired today..."

He didn't dare to say what Fu Liao had explained, for fear that she would think too much when she was ill.

Ning Yuezhao didn't wake up until the afternoon today, and she was still in high spirits at the moment. Although the two had been in the same room for a while, she was thin-skinned and couldn't go any further, so she said sullenly: "Then... go to bed early... ..."

At this moment, Jiang Nian actually seemed to have a feather flicking in his heart. It was rare for Ning Yuezhao to be so proactive. It's a pity...

"Go to bed early, take a rest tomorrow, and I will take you out of the palace for a walk."

As soon as she heard that she was going to leave the palace, Ning Yuezhao immediately looked down and said, "Okay."

Not long after, Jiang Nian noticed a steady breathing sound coming from his side.He sighed softly and closed his eyes.

The next day, Ning Yuezhao was about to go for a walk with Jiang Nian in the Imperial Garden, when the palace servants came to report that Qingchi had entered the palace.

"Why didn't this girl stay at home for ten days and half a month?" Ning Yuezhao couldn't help being a little surprised.

Ning Yuezhao has been taken care of by Bitao lately, although Bitao is more careful in taking care of her daily life than Qingchi, but after all the age gap between the two is there, she always lacks a caring person by her side .For Qingchi's return, she was still happy from the bottom of her heart.

Jiang Nian had no choice but to swallow the suggestion of visiting the Imperial Garden, and said with a light smile, "Then I'll go to the Yizheng Hall to deal with the memorial first, anyway, I was planning to leave the palace in the afternoon."

After Qingchi came back from this trip, his temper became much calmer.She saluted Ning Yuezhao respectfully, and then said with a straight face: "Your Majesty is tired of me now?"

Ning Yuezhao was really surprised by her opening remarks, and said puzzledly, "Why do you say that?"

Qingchi stepped up the steps with his skirt in hand, and walked to her side with a sullen face, "Why did you hide such a serious illness from me?"

Ning Yuezhao was afraid that she would be worried about her illness and would run to the palace to take care of herself, so she specially asked her father Yan Taifu not to reveal this matter in front of her.As a result, Qingchi was born to be hidden from Qiu Wei.

"It's nothing important, am I fine?" Ning Yuezhao spread his hands towards her, expressing that he was fine.

Qingchi sized her up carefully, then shook his head, "You're thin, and your face is too pale, it seems that the rumors outside are true."

"What rumor?" Ning Yuezhao suddenly became curious, "How did it spread outside?"

"It is said that you and the imperial husband are only superficially affectionate, and you are making compromises to win over the Jiang family. The one you really love is someone else."

Qingchi's sources of news are all the chatter of her own servants. She was skeptical about these at first, but now that she entered the palace and saw Ning Yuezhao's mentally and physically exhausted appearance, she immediately believed it.

"I really love someone else, you mean An Chen?" Ning Yuezhao sneered suddenly, "Then let me tell you what this person has done."

Next, after Ning Yuezhao brought Qingchi back home, he suddenly had a headache, An Chen came to treat her in time, and An Chen wanted to rape her later.

Qingchi was dumbfounded, she never thought that so many things happened after she left.

"An Chen, he is too shameless!" Qingchi said angrily.

Ning Yuezhao shook her head, not wanting to talk more. "The matter has come to this, I don't want to mention this person any more."

Qingchi hesitated and asked: "Then you and the emperor?"

Speaking of Jiang Nian, the gloomy look on Ning Yuezhao's face eased a lot, "I'm married to Jiang Nian now, and my illness can go from good to bad, I just hope that I can recover soon." If I give birth to an emperor's heir, so that there will be successors in the great prosperity of the country, even if I die, I will rest in peace."

She had already noticed Jiang Nian's thoughts.These days, he also sees his kindness to himself. She is not a hard-hearted person, so she naturally has feelings, but she still can't give the same emotional response, at least let's live up to this affection. .

Qingchi shook his head vigorously, "Don't say such things, I feel uncomfortable after hearing that."

Ning Yuezhao smiled, "Okay, how long do you plan to stay when you enter the palace today?"

 I'm too lazy to mark the first and second updates, anyway, it's [-]:[-] p.m. and [-]:[-] p.m.
