Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Severe pain struck.

But she couldn't stop for a moment, and swept the dagger across with her backhand, leaving a bloody wound on the other person's face.

"what!"

A scream was heard and the man covered his face and cried out in pain.

It was only then that Jiang Ningwan saw him clearly: a eunuch wearing the empress dowager's clothes!

cheated!

But what about the Queen Mother?

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside. Seeing that it was difficult to get close to the injured man, one of the assassins pulled the injured man up and jumped out of the window to escape.

Only the Queen Mother's robes were left on the window.

"Empress Dowager!" Jiang Ningwan pressed the wound on the back of her waist and searched around the room with her aching body.

I was afraid that something might happen to the Queen Mother.

Fortunately, the empress dowager was found unconscious under the soft couch. Jiang Ningwan quickly moved her out, checked her breath, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that the empress dowager was still alive.

"Empress Dowager! Princess!" Feng Chan rushed over in panic.

"Chase the assassin!" Jiang Ningwan said, then she felt dizzy and fell down.

The cicada's screams became increasingly distant from his ears.

"Someone come! Call the imperial physician!"

Overnight, Shouchun Palace was in chaos.

The palace was also in chaos.

The emperor came to see the empress dowager in person, and Concubine Rong and Qin Wenli also came.

The imperial doctors were busy in the main hall and the side hall.

"How could there be an assassin in the palace?" Concubine Rong paced back and forth anxiously.

The emperor frowned, "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"

"Who dares to assassinate someone in the palace? How audacious!"

The entire palace was filled with the sounds of the imperial guards searching.

Soon the two assassins were caught, but they were already dead.

"Your Majesty, these two have committed suicide by taking poison."

Concubine Rong glanced at the two corpses on the ground, her brows furrowed. "These two... seem to be from Fengqi Palace."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

The emperor slammed the table in anger, then stood up and went to Fengqi Palace.

The Queen Mother has not woken up yet, but the imperial physician said she is not seriously ill.

Now that Jiang Ningwan's safety has not been confirmed, Concubine Rong doesn't want to go anywhere and stays in Shouchun Palace with Qin Wenli.

"Ningwan must be in no danger." Concubine Rong looked worried and uneasy.

In the side hall, Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Zhang were sweating profusely, trying their best.

But in the second half of the night, the two men walked out with regretful expressions.

Concubine Rong then saw the palace maids following out, carrying out several basins of blood.

He turned pale with fright on the spot.

Eyes red.

"Imperial Physician! Ning Wan..."

Doctor Xu shook his head solemnly, "The child... is gone."

Concubine Rong's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Qin Wenli helped her sit down and asked hurriedly, "It's been more than three months, and the fetus has been stable. Ning Wan is a martial artist with a good foundation, so how could the child be gone like this?"

Doctor Xu said in a heavy tone, "The dagger was poisoned."

"The wound isn't in a vital area. Given General Jiang's health, this knife won't harm the child."

"But it's different when it's poisonous. This poison also contains a lot of musk."

"We are grateful that General Jiang's life can be saved!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wenli's brows were filled with anger.

"This person is clearly targeting Ning Wan! Who is so vicious?"

……

Jiang Ningwan slept for three days before finally waking up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Ling Jinlan sitting beside the bed, looking at her with concern and a bit of joy on her face, "Sister, you are finally awake!"

"Come and drink the medicine."

Ling Jinlan picked up the medicine.

Jiang Ningwan tried to prop herself up and sit up, but she felt she had no strength left.

The pain in her abdomen made her feel a little scared.

"Where is the child? Is the child okay?" Jiang Ningwan asked anxiously.

Ling Jinlan lowered his head, his eyes dim, not daring to look her in the eye.

"The child is gone."

At that moment, Jiang Ningwan was struck by lightning.

I was stunned for a moment.

Her eyes instantly turned red, "Gone?"

"how come……"

Ling Jinlan said in a heavy tone, "The imperial physician said that the dagger was coated with poison. It's a blessing that my sister is alive, but the child...is not."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was extremely shocked and clenched the quilt tightly with her fingers.

"It's coming for me!"

"I hid here with the Queen Mother, but they still wouldn't let me go!"

Ever since she became pregnant, she has been cautious in everything she does, hiding in her house and not daring to go out. Now she has hidden in Shouchun Palace and even dared to assassinate someone in the palace!

Ling Jinlan quickly held her down, "Sister, the imperial physician said you shouldn't get too excited right now. Miscarriage is harmful to your health."

"You'll have to stay in bed for a month."

Jiang Ningwan clutched the quilt tightly, filled with anger.

After Ling Jinlan fed her the medicine, Jiang Ningwan calmed down a little. She asked again, "How is the Queen Mother?"

"The doctor said the Queen Mother is fine. She was just knocked unconscious and has a minor neck injury. She is still in bed resting."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan blamed herself deeply, "It's me who has caused trouble for the Queen Mother."

I thought that if I hid in Shouchun Palace, no one would dare to do anything to the empress dowager.

But I didn't expect that they would even dare to assassinate the Queen Mother.

"Has the assassin been caught?"

Ling Jinlan nodded. "The assassin was caught, but I heard he committed suicide by poisoning himself on the spot. The palace is still investigating, and all those related to the assassin have been arrested."

"The interrogation is in the Ministry of Punishment."

"I think it won't be long before the truth comes out!"

She knew who did it without even checking. Who else could have been sent to assassinate someone in this palace except the one from Fengqi Palace?

But she couldn't understand why the queen was taking such a risk. Wasn't she afraid of putting herself in danger?

There was still a chance to lift the house arrest.

But sending someone to Shouchun Palace to assassinate is a serious crime that involves life.

As he thought about it, Jiang Ningwan felt a splitting headache.

I fell asleep again in a daze.

For several days in a row, she was not very conscious and vaguely saw her aunt and two cousins ​​coming to see her.

The Queen Mother also dragged her sick body to see her and comfort her.

Tell her that she will have more children and ask her to take good care of herself.

Jiang Zhouye also came to see her.

Everyone was worried about her, but she didn't want to make them worry so much, so she didn't dare show her sadness.

Except when she was weak, she didn't cry once.

Ling Jinlan stayed with her in the palace, telling her every day about the progress and who had been interrogated.

It seemed that they were about to find evidence linking it to Fengqi Palace.

All the grief turned into anger and expectation, hoping that the murderer would be punished.

But that day, when Ling Jinlan entered the room, he was a little hesitant.

Jiang Ningwan looked at the sky outside the window. Ling Jinlan delivered the medicine an hour later than usual today.

"What's wrong, Jinlan? Did something happen?" Jiang Ningwan asked with concern.

Ling Jinlan hid the pain in his eyes and smiled, "It's okay, I slept in late today."

"Sister, take the medicine."

She began to feed Jiang Ningwan medicine as usual.

After drinking the medicine, Jiang Ningwan asked, "Did you find out the results today? Any new progress?"

This incident happened in the palace, it shouldn't have taken so long and there's still no result.

Ling Jinlan's eyes dodged, "I...I haven't asked yet."

“There probably hasn’t been any results yet.”

But her strange expression made Jiang Ningwan feel a little suspicious.

Jiang Ningwan grabbed her hand and said, "Jinlan, tell me whatever you know! Don't hide it from me!"

"If it's news from the palace, you can't hide it from me."

Ling Jinlan put down the medicine bowl with a gloomy expression.

"The results are out..."
