Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Shaoyao trembled all over, her face turned pale as paper, and she wanted to die in despair. She really didn't want to enter the palace. She was afraid.

But how could she let the Ning family be destroyed for her own selfish reasons?

She bit her lip, her mouth full of blood, "Slave..."

Before she could finish, Ning Zhiwei guessed that she wanted to sacrifice herself, and took the lead, "Your Majesty, this is the honor of the Ning family, and we should celebrate together, but... there is one thing I should say or not?"

It was obvious that there was nothing good to say, and the emperor didn't want to respond, "Then don't talk about it."

Unexpectedly, Ning Zhiwei did not play by the rules. "Well, if it is for my own selfish reasons, I should conceal this matter, but my loyalty to the emperor and my patriotism will not allow it."

"Your Majesty, if you want Shaoyao to enter the palace, you must be prepared for the extinction of your heir."

As soon as these outrageous words were uttered, the palace servants trembled and their faces turned pale.

Damn it! How dare she curse the emperor to have no offspring?

This touched the emperor's bottom line, and he flew into a rage, "How dare you! Don't think I really don't dare to kill you. Drag him away and beat him."

Shaoyao was shocked and hugged Ning Zhiwei tightly, tears streaming down her face, "No, no, I want to enter the palace, I..."

A warm little hand covered her mouth, and Ning Zhiwei shook her head slightly at her, telling her that she didn't need to sacrifice herself.

If she can't protect the people around her, what's the point of her living again?

"Peony is not only good at cooking, but also good at medicine."

Ning Zhiwei reminded meaningfully, "Medicine and poison are inseparable."

The most taboo thing in the palace is that concubines know medical skills. Once jealousy comes, they can do anything. It is not difficult to poison a few princes and princesses silently.

What if he goes crazy and poisons the emperor?

It was like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, chilling the emperor to the bone. "You didn't lie?"

As an emperor, he is extremely conceited and proud, and will not listen to other people's opinions. However, since it concerns his own life, he has to be serious.

A bedmate with medical skills is too dangerous and hard to guard against. How can an emperor, who is so precious as gold and jade, dare to take risks easily?

"Of course it's true. I dare not lie to the emperor." Ning Zhiwei said frankly, "If you don't believe it, you can ask the Royal Guards to check it out."

Xiao Linfeng cupped his hands and said, "Last time when Princess Jingning was injured, it was this girl who took care of her. She prescribed medicine, fetched medicine, and boiled medicine without asking anyone else to do it. I have seen her several times."

The emperor's eyes flickered. Suddenly, he stretched out his right hand and said, "Take my pulse."

Shaoyao glanced at Ning Zhiwei, who nodded slightly at her. She then stood up and stretched out her hand to take the emperor's pulse.

Her expression was a little strange, "Your Majesty, you..."

He hesitated to speak, as if he was in a dilemma. Ning Zhiwei rolled her eyes and said, "Just say it if you have something to say."

Shaoyao closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Your Majesty has difficulty urinating and often cannot urinate completely. Is this kidney deficiency?"

The emperor's face turned green. Vulgar! Barbaric! This is the consequence of not reading.

It's nothing like those imperial physicians' indirect hints, their words are elegant and won't embarrass people.

"Okay, stop talking."

He doesn't want a woman who can see through the essence of his body. He feels transparent in front of her and insecure.

Ning Zhiwei laughed, "Your Majesty, you can't avoid seeing a doctor or hiding your illness. You should take medicine when you need to. We can't delay."

She sounded very concerned, but the emperor always felt that she was mocking him.

He looked at Shaoyao, "You come and treat it."

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. If something goes wrong, there will be no recovery. How could Ning Zhiwei feel at ease? She refused first, "No, that's against the rules. Besides, she has never treated this kind of disease. Do you really trust her? Aren't you afraid that she will make it worse? If it can't be used then, who will you blame?"

Listen, what kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?

The emperor was so angry that he stormed out, and the palace servants swarmed around him.

Xiao Linfeng walked at the back. Before leaving, he turned back and looked at Shaoyao deeply.

Shaoyao was very nervous and panicked, "Miss, I hope I didn't cause you any trouble?"

Ning Zhiwei lay back on the small bed and yawned lazily, "No, the emperor deliberately used you as a hostage to restrain me, so it's better not to go."

Shaoyao sat beside her and said, "Miss, if anything happens, don't worry about me, I will handle it myself..."

Before she could finish, Ning Zhiwei's face changed drastically, and he sat up straight, looking at the girl in front of him. "Peony, no matter what happens, you must live well."

In her previous life, Shaoyao died tragically in front of her in order to protect her, but she could do nothing and was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

She never wanted to experience that kind of pain again.

"To me, you are also family, a sister who grew up with me, and someone I want to protect."

"Miss." Shaoyao's eyes were filled with tears, she was deeply moved.

Her life experience was very miserable, but the young lady never despised her. She would always save a portion of the delicious food and drinks for her, and would never forget her when anything good happened.

In name, she was the one who took care of Ning Zhiwei, but in fact, it was Ning Zhiwei who looked after her everywhere and gave her love and warmth without making a sound.

The emperor walked out of the dim imperial prison and let out a long breath, "Xiao Linfeng, go check on that Shaoyao."

Xiao Linfeng's heart tightened, "Yes." He also wanted to know, was it her child?

Just as he was about to leave, the emperor gave another order, "By the way, check how many unmarried girls there are in her family."

Once he had this idea in mind, it was difficult to extinguish it.

If Shaoyao isn't suitable, then let's find someone else and ask the Ning family to send a daughter to the palace as a hostage...ah, no, it should be a concubine.

"Yes."

Ning Zhiwei had a very good life in the imperial prison. Except for the emperor, no one was allowed to visit her. She was happy and relaxed, eating and drinking, and writing when she felt like it.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and she still did not admit her mistake, let alone write a letter of apology.

On Ning Zhiwei's coming-of-age day, she got up early in the morning and ate a bowl of steaming longevity noodles, milky white bone soup, thin dragon beard noodles, and a golden poached egg.

She was enjoying her meal when Xiao Linfeng came over and said, "Princess Jingning, the emperor summoned you to the palace."

Ning Zhiwei didn't even raise her head, "I won't go. I want to stay in jail forever."

Xiao Linfeng: ...

"Madam Ning and her female relatives are waiting for the imperial decree outside the palace."

Ning Zhiwei threw down his chopsticks in anger and cursed, "You bastard, you're making trouble for an old man in this cold winter."

She didn't bring anyone out just because she didn't want Old Madam Ning to suffer in this kind of weather.

People in the royal family are high and mighty, self-centered, and only consider their own feelings. They never care about the lives of others and trample on others at will.

MD, want to kill someone!

When she saw the women of the Ning family shivering in the cold wind with frost on their faces, her murderous intent became even stronger.

At this moment, she had only one thought.

This fucking court, this crappy emperor, they’re rebelling!

But, before that, she had to take revenge right here and there. She couldn't wait even a moment, and looked towards the palace with a cold gaze...
