Chapter 99 Rumors Spread
When the sun rises in the east, it is a new day.

The chaos that happened in the Chongtian Temple that day was finally spread. From the inner garden of the palace to the folk market, the most heated discussion was the confusing relationship between Ning Yuezhao, Jiang Nian and An Chen.

"Do you know? The child in our majesty's belly is not the imperial husband's, but the royal doctor An's."

"Impossible. You haven't seen how much love your Majesty and the imperial husband have had some time ago. That Royal Doctor An has long been grounded in the Imperial Hospital. How could it be his child?"

"Oh, you don't know this, do you? Didn't His Royal Highness go to inspect the river embankment earlier? Didn't His Majesty suffer from headaches all day long?"

"That's right. At that time, everyone in the Imperial Hospital couldn't help His Majesty's headache. Only An Yu, who was very skilled in medicine, could heal His Majesty."

"Hehe, I'm afraid this is all an excuse. In fact, His Majesty is just looking for an excuse to meet his lover while the imperial husband is away."

"Hush! You can't talk nonsense! Have you forgotten what happened to the Shuntian governor?"

"It's okay, at noon, who would wander into this corner of Yusheng Pavilion!"

"But I still don't believe it! The imperial husband's kindness to His Majesty is obvious to all in the palace."

"You don't know that. Your Majesty abandoned Imperial Physician An in order to win over the Jiang family, and pretended to be in love with the imperial husband. As for the imperial husband, the pretended love is actually to paralyze your majesty, so that you can play a venom on your majesty. "

"Your Majesty's poison is from the imperial husband?"

"Otherwise, which man can tolerate his wife wearing a cuckold for him! This imperial husband looks gentle and refined, but he is actually a ruthless character!"

The two palace servants of Yusheng Pavilion hid in a secluded place and gossiped, completely oblivious to the moon-white figure in the corridor not far away.

"Your Highness, go down and teach them a lesson!" Jing Ming was so angry that he wanted to roll up his sleeves and beat them up.

Jiang Nian raised his hand to stop it, and silently shook his head.

How about teaching them a lesson?Now these things have already spread throughout the imperial capital, and even spread to farther places.Even if all Daxing's troops were mobilized, they might not be able to teach them a lesson.

Jiang Nian walked out of the corridor slowly. He came to this secluded Yusheng Pavilion today only because this is the only flower garden with tulips in the palace.

He bent down and plucked off a few bright red tulips among the flowers, then turned and left.

Those palace people were still chattering gossip, Jing Ming was so angry, but his master had gone far away, he could only stomp his feet resentfully, and then hurriedly followed Jiang Nian's pace.

Jiang Nian was walking in the palace with flower branches in his arms, and the palace people along the way had long been used to His Royal Highness doing this these days.

But everyone also knows that His Majesty ordered a few days ago to recruit doctors from all over the world, as long as they can cure An Chen's poison, he will reward him with ten thousand taels of gold!
I'm afraid that this deep affection will eventually be put to waste.

And in Shenglong Hall over there, Ning Yuezhao was sitting on the beauty couch in front of the window, and the warm winter sun shone on her through the carved window lattice.

An Chen was still pale, but with a slight smile on his face, he was taking Ning Yuezhao's pulse, his expression focused and serious.

"Your pulse condition is getting more and more stable. Continue to take medicine for recuperation. After about spring, you will be able to fully recover."

An Chen's hand left her wrist and said happily.

Ning Yuezhao didn't show too much happiness, but just twitched the corners of her mouth, sort of smiling.

An Chen said softly: "Don't be so sullen, it's not good for the child."

Ning Yuezhao lightly stroked her still flat abdomen, her eyes became more complicated.

Later, Fu Yuan didn't come to check her pulse, probably because Jiang Nian sent a message telling him not to come.An Chen kept telling her that it was because of her Gu poison attack and her pulse was disordered that he made a mistake.

An Chen glanced at the white jade plum vase in the corner of the bedroom. Inside were several budding red plums, which were brought by the palace servants yesterday, saying that Jiang Nian had personally picked them from the plum garden.

He still remembered that even though Ning Yuezhao had a stern face at that time, he still looked outside the door and acquiesced in allowing the maid to insert the flower branch into the plum vase.

Although Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao didn't talk to each other these few days, Jiang Nian sent people to send flowers every day. Ning Yuezhao didn't say anything, but looked at the flowers in a daze from time to time.

"Azhao, let me explain to him for you!" An Chen suddenly stood up and said.

"Don't go!" Ning Yuezhao said stubbornly, "You are not recovering from your illness, so why run around! I will take care of my own affairs."

"But I can't bear to see you lose your mind like this..." An Chen said distressedly, he grabbed Ning Yuezhao's hand, "I wish I was the one who could accompany you by your side right now!"

Ning Yuezhao's eyes slowly moved to his face, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

If she had married An Chen back then, what would happen now?

For some reason, her mind was full of Jiang Nian's kindness to her since she got married. It seemed that if she changed someone, she would no longer be able to imagine what it would be like to marry him.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little regretful.Why did he say that impulsively at that time, Jiang Nian should be more worried about the safety of her and the child in his womb.

At this time, the maid came in with another bouquet of tulips.

The elegant fragrance of flowers emanates quietly, and yesterday's red plums have not yet bloomed, but new flower branches have come in.

Ning Yuezhao slowly sat up from the beauty's couch, and said coldly, "What about others?"

The palace maid was taken aback for a while before she realized, "His Royal Highness has already left..."

"When did you leave?" Ning Yuezhao's voice was a little anxious.

The maid said: "Just now, not long ago."

Ning Yuezhao glanced coldly at the door, "Take the flowers and return them to him, and tell him I don't want them!"

An Chen added: "Your Majesty is pregnant now, smelling too much of these flowers is not good for your health."

Ning Yuezhao said annoyedly: "Take that bottle of plum blossoms away too, it makes me dizzy!"

"Yes." The court lady obediently held the flower branch and went down.

An Chen comforted her and said, "Don't be angry, it's not good for your health."

Ning Yuezhao lay down on the couch again, and said indifferently: "I'm a little tired, you should go back and rest."

An Chen's face turned pale, "Azhao..."

When Ning Yuezhao lay down, she touched the newly healed wound on her neck, and heard his aggrieved voice, she couldn't help sitting up again, and said apologetically, "Sorry, An Chen, my tone was bad just now, but I'm really tired now..."

"Azhao, I understand, you don't have to be so polite to me..." An Chen smiled at her, "You should have a good rest, I'll go back to the side hall first."

"Okay..." Apart from this, Ning Yuezhao doesn't know what to say now.

An Chen smiled at her, and walked out of the bedroom slowly.

Ning Yuezhao looked at his thin back and sighed softly.

Outside Qifeng Palace, a court lady hesitated to move forward with a large bunch of flower branches in her arms.Half of the flower branches in her arms are red plums and half are tulips.

The empress asked her to return the flowers to the imperial husband, but she hesitated how to speak.

At this time, a gentle male voice sounded behind her——

"Give me the flowers, and I'll help you in."

The maid turned her head and found An Chen in white, looking at her with a smile.

She blessed An Chen. "See Imperial Physician An, the servants dare not do what His Majesty ordered."

Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian's quarrel was because of An Chen, even if she lent ten courage to her, she would not dare to ask An Chen to return the bouquet on her behalf.

After finishing speaking, the court lady walked to the gate of Qifeng Palace in three steps and two steps in parallel, and asked the eunuch to pass it on to her.

An Chen was not in a hurry to leave, but stood quietly in place.

Jiang Nian was reading a volume of books when he heard a rumor that someone had come from the Dragon Palace.

"That's great, His Majesty must have figured it out!" Jing Ming said with a beaming smile.

Jiang Nian smiled, "Let someone come in."

When the court lady walked in with a large bouquet of flowers, the smile on Jiang Nian's face slowly disappeared.

"See Your Royal Highness." The maid Yingying knelt down.

Jiang Nian closed the scroll and said calmly, "Your Majesty asked you to send it back?"

The maid lowered her head and said cautiously: "Yes..."

"Did she say anything else?"

The palace maid thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty said that she smelled the fragrance of flowers and felt a little dizzy..."

"It's because Gu didn't think carefully, you should throw away all these flowers for me."

Jiang Nian opened the book and continued to read, not looking at the maid at all.

"Yes, the servant has retired."

Seeing that Jiang Nian didn't blame him, the court lady sighed and hurriedly retreated holding the flower branch.

Jing Ming said angrily: "Your Majesty has gone too far, you have taken the initiative to show your affection, and she still only cares about being with An Chen every day!"

Jiang Nian's eyes still stayed on the pages of the book, "The scent is boring even if you smell it alone, I can't blame His Majesty for getting dizzy after smelling it."

Jing Ming was speechless to his master, he said: "That's all, it's easy to return nothing."

Jiang Nian looked up at him, a little amused, "Why are you mad at Gubu?"

Jing Ming: "This subordinate is worthless for you."

Earlier, Jiang Nian asked him to interrogate the imperial doctor who also diagnosed Ning Yuezhao as three months pregnant. The imperial doctor reluctantly admitted that the pulse at that time was indeed three months.

However, his master interrupted his report as if nothing happened, saying that he didn't want to know.

Since then, in Jing Ming's heart, he has automatically regarded the child in Ning Yuezhao's womb as An Chen's, so how could he not be angry with An Chen.

At this time, another eunuch came in to communicate, "Your Highness, An Yuyi is here to see you."

Jing Ming immediately said angrily: "Okay, Your Highness doesn't care about him like this, he dared to come to the door! No see!"

"This..." The eunuch looked at Jiang Nian inquiringly.

Jiang Nian simply closed the scroll, "Call him in."

Jing Ming looked at him angrily and said, "Your Highness!"

Jiang Nian put the book on the table aside, "Since you don't want to see him, go out of the palace to visit Fu Liao for Gu."

Although Jiang Nian hadn't been out of the palace in person these few days, he would send Jing Ming out of the palace to visit every day. Of course, the reply he got every day was that Fu Liao was still unconscious and not improving.

Jing Ming was also a little angry at the moment, and Jiang Nian didn't argue, so he bowed to him and went out.

When An Chen came in, he happened to pass by Jing Ming, but Jing Ming left the hall without even giving him the corner of his eye.

"See the emperor." An Chen didn't care about Jing Ming's rudeness, and still respectfully saluted Jiang Nian.

"You don't need to be too polite, let's watch tea!" Jiang Nian pointed to the lower seat, "Sit."

An Chen shook his head, "The minister will just say a few words, and then he won't sit down."

"Then tell me." Jiang Nian looked indifferent, and he really couldn't be polite to such an annoying person.

An Chen said earnestly, "I hope His Highness will stop getting angry with Ah Zhao. Every time you send someone to deliver flowers, she keeps staring at the door, but you never show up."

Jiang Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why?"

An Chen was slightly taken aback, "Because...she cares about you..."

Jiang Nian slowly picked up the teacup and skimmed off the foam, "What about you? Why are you here to talk to Gu?"

An Chen's thin figure swayed, and he pursed his lips tightly and said, "I don't want to see Ah Zhao sad."

Jiang Nian suddenly smiled, "If Gu and her reconcile, won't you be sad?"

An Chen's face turned paler by three points, and he said with difficulty: "As long as she is good, I don't care what the humble minister does."

Jiang Nian's eyes fell on his wrist, and he said, "Do you want you to die right away?"

From his words, An Chen clearly felt deep hatred.He gently held his scabbed wrist, but his tone was firm, "Yes, I am willing! As long as there is no quarrel between the emperor and His Majesty!"
