The princess was fed contraceptive soup on the day of the marriage exchange, and she went crazy
Chapter 20 The groundwork is complete
But when she thought about some things that happened in her previous life and looked at the emperor's reaction, she even suspected that the eldest prince was just a scapegoat pushed by the emperor.
The eldest prince and Shi Huaizhi are both popular candidates for the power struggle, and each has many supporters in the court.
Most importantly, their maternal grandparents all hold great power.
Sheng Nanzhi felt that he had discovered some secrets and his mind moved slightly.
Her goal in this life was just to lie down and live happily as a widow.
But if things develop differently from her expectations, the eldest prince will also be an opportunity.
……
The emperor hurriedly left with the concubine who had fainted from emotional excitement.
The imperial physician was left behind to guard the Sixth Prince's residence.
Not long after, Shi Huaizhi began to have a fever.
The two imperial physicians had anticipated this and quickly ordered someone to administer antipyretic medicine.
The emperor also summoned all the other people from the Imperial Medical Bureau, but the conclusions they reached were almost the same.
The brain injury was severe, and it would be difficult for him to wake up. If he could survive the fever caused by the wound infection, he might still be able to survive.
The high fever recurred and lasted for almost a whole night before it finally subsided temporarily.
Jin Xin, who had been guarding on the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Sheng Nanzhi out of the main courtyard.
"You said you were an advisor hired by His Highness. You said you could tell fortunes and predicted that His Highness would suffer a bloody disaster. Now, tell me what will happen to His Highness next? When will he wake up?"
Jin Xin's eyes were red, and tears could not be restrained from falling...
Sheng Nanzhi sighed: "From my previous calculations, His Highness suffered this disaster because of the imperial decree granting him marriage. Whether he can wake up also depends on this marriage."
Jin Xin was stunned and looked at Sheng Nanzhi blankly: "What do you mean?"
Sheng Nanzhi's eyelashes trembled slightly: "The person your highness is going to marry is the Phoenix Lord of Heaven!"
"Lord Phoenix, if you don't want to marry into the royal family, you can only marry His Majesty."
"If His Highness were to rule the world, marrying a woman born under the Phoenix Fate would be considered an auspicious match, a match made in heaven."
"But he is only a prince."
"As a prince, if you force yourself to marry the Phoenix Lord, you will only bring disaster upon yourself."
"Even if I manage to save my life this time..."
Jin Xin's eyes widened, her body trembling slightly. "You mean, if I want to save His Highness's life, I have to cancel the engagement?"
Sheng Nanzhi nodded: "It's better to do the opposite. Your Highness can marry a wife to bring good luck, but the worse the bride's fate is, the better. The worse the bride's fate is, the better it will be for Your Highness."
Jin Xin covered her chest and took a deep breath: "But where can I find such a person?"
Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes, her expression indifferent: "Yes, there is. You don't even need to look for it. The Sheng Mansion has it. Since ancient times, disaster and blessing are interdependent, but disaster is not necessarily a disaster, and blessing is not necessarily a blessing."
Jin Xin repeated Sheng Nanzhi's words twice before gritting her teeth and saying, "I understand."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the house: "Please tell me that there are doctors watching here. I have something urgent to do and need to leave the house."
Sheng Nanzhi looked at her hurried figure, silently put his hands into his sleeves, and stroked the pattern on the cuffs.
She said those words to Jin Xin on purpose.
Jinxin was a palace maid who had served the imperial concubine, so she had to use Jinxin's mouth to tell the imperial concubine these words.
Sheng Nanzhi went back to the house to check on Shi Huaizhi's condition. Just as she was about to go back to her yard to rest, she saw Sheng Lin and Sheng Yunrou, father and daughter, walking quickly towards her, led by the doorman.
Sheng Nanzhi paused. The father and daughter got the news very quickly, so she subconsciously hid behind a pillar.
After dodging, she suddenly remembered that she had changed her appearance. Even if Sheng Lin and Sheng Yunrou saw her, they would not be able to recognize her.
The two men entered the main house and stayed inside for about a quarter of an hour before coming out again.
The doorman who brought them here had already left, and the two of them walked out the same way they came.
Sheng Nanzhi followed quietly.
The father and daughter walked out for a while, and seeing that there was no one around, Sheng Yunrou couldn't wait to speak: "Dad, what should we do now?"
"You just heard what the imperial doctors said. The Sixth Prince is in great danger."
"Even if they manage to save their lives, they'll just be hanging on for a breath at best. There's no way they'll wake up!"
"I don't want to be a widow after getting married! I can't even be a widow all my life!"
Sheng Lin looked around hurriedly and scolded, "Shut up! His Majesty has already issued the imperial decree granting the marriage. This is not up to you or me."
He paused and let out a long breath: "Let's wait and see what happens. With the Sixth Prince having this incident, I'm afraid this marriage will have to be put on hold for the time being."
"As for the rest..." Sheng Lin was silent for a moment, remembering what Wen Tingyun's mother had said to him: "I'll think of a way."
Only after the two of them walked away did Sheng Nanzhi come out from her hiding place.
All the groundwork has been laid.
She felt that she could go back to Qingyun Temple and wait.
She naturally knew that everything she did in the Sixth Prince's Mansion could be hidden from others, but it could never be hidden from the spies that Shi Huaizhi had placed next to her.
She quickly returned to her yard and summoned Yuanbao out.
"You should have heard what Aunt Jin, my father, and Sheng Yunrou said just now."
"I think the Sheng family will soon send someone to Qingyun Temple to ask me to return home and prepare to marry. I have to go back to Qingyun Temple."
Yuan Bao's face was filled with undisguised surprise. "Miss Sheng, you must have heard from the imperial physician before that the master might not be able to wake up... Even if the master can't wake up, will you still marry her?"
Sheng Nanzhi looked up at Yuanbao, his mind slightly moved.
She didn't know if Yuanbao was putting on an act. Yuanbao didn't seem to have heard the deal between her and Shi Huaizhi before, nor did he know that Shi Huaizhi was unconscious. It was very likely that it was fake.
If he didn't know, when Huaizhi asked her to sing the play well, did it also include singing the play well in front of Yuanbao?
Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes: "I don't have the right to choose."
"I am the daughter of the Sheng family, so I must obey the arrangements of the Sheng family."
"My aunt and sister are still in the Sheng family. If I don't obey, the Sheng family will definitely threaten me with their lives."
"What's more, marrying into the Sixth Prince's mansion is actually my best choice."
Sheng Nanzhi pulled the corners of her mouth, her smile full of sadness and helplessness: "Even if the Sixth Prince is unconscious, the title of Sixth Prince's Consort is enough to fool others."
"I can use this reputation to get the Sheng family to treat my aunt and sister a little better."
"After all, I am the calamity of the world."
"If the Sixth Prince hadn't been in trouble, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been my turn."
"If I don't marry here, the Sheng family will probably just find someone to kick me out."
This is true.
A hint of sympathy flashed in Yuanbao's eyes. It seemed that even the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion had her own helplessness.
But he still hoped that his master could wake up.
Sheng Nanzhi returned to Qingyun Temple.
But she waited at Qingyun Temple for three days, but did not receive any news that the Prime Minister's Mansion would come to pick her up.
Fortunately, after leaving the Sixth Prince's Mansion, it became much easier to receive and send news, and news also kept coming from the Sheng Mansion.
"The Prime Minister and the Second Young Lady have been following the Sixth Prince's situation closely. They heard his fever has subsided, but he hasn't regained consciousness. He even nearly died several times before being saved by life-saving elixirs. The Imperial Concubine and His Majesty have tried every possible means, even seeking out many highly skilled doctors, but to no avail."
"The Prime Minister's wife went to the palace yesterday and said that the Imperial Concubine wanted to wake the Sixth Prince up and even proposed to bring him happiness."
"When the second young lady found out about this, she made a scene and said she didn't want to marry a vegetable."
Sheng Nanzhi frowned: "Vegetative?"
