Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 115
After taking the antidote, Jing Ning recovered very quickly, and within three days she was able to get out of bed and walk around.

"Wen...Wen Xing?" After taking a nap one day, Jing Ning opened his eyes and saw that there was no one in the room, so he got up and called his personal maid.

"Miss!" Wen Xing lifted the curtain and entered, seeing Jing Ning struggling to get out of bed, hurried up to put on her shoes.

Jing Ning rubbed her eyebrows, and asked, "What time is it?" Wen Xing smiled, "It's not time, miss, do you want to go?"

Jing Ning nodded, Wen Xing slowly helped her up, put a tulle on her again, and then walked slowly outside the house together.

"Xiu Ning's place... how did father handle it?" Jing Ning casually broke off a flower, the tip of which was still tender, and she couldn't help but regret it for a while.

Wen Xing looked around, saw that there was no one, and whispered: "At first, it was assumed to be her, but she turned the blame and pushed the pot to her maid Shuangluo..."

Hearing this, Jing Ning shook the hand holding the flower, and asked, "What about Shuang Luo? How is she?"

Wen Xing sighed, "What else can I do? Murdering a concubine's daughter is a serious crime that no one can afford. In fact, the master knows who did it, but it's his own flesh and blood that didn't expose it..."

"I'm asking Shuangluo!" Jing Ning interrupted suddenly, with a little anger in his voice.

Wen Xing flinched, and said for a long time, "Shuangluo... she was charged with such a crime, of course she was sentenced to death, but the master... the master ordered her body to be sent back to her hometown, and she also sent a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to her home." Head, this can be regarded as...is..." At this point, Wen Xing couldn't continue, so he stopped.

Jing Ning closed her eyes, and her thoughts were in a mess for a moment. She wanted to use this to make Zheng Xiuning completely quiet, but she didn't want her to push back and kill an innocent person...

"Miss..." Wen Xing looked at Jing Ning's paler face, feeling a little worried.

"I'm fine." Jing Ning opened his eyes and looked up to the sky, a group of homing birds flitted across the cloudless sky and rushed into a tree, causing the branches and leaves to tremble.

This dinner was exceptionally quiet. There were only Jing Ning and Zheng Anyan on the big table. Normally, Zheng Anyan would have asked her about her recent situation, but today, he just lowered his eyes without saying a word, and even turned his chopsticks upside down. Did not pay attention.

"Father, the chopsticks are held upside down." Jing Ning reminded softly, Zheng Anyan woke up as if awakened from a dream, smiled impulsively, and held the chopsticks upright.

"Father? Why are you so unhappy today?" Jing Ning also picked up the chopsticks, and first picked up a piece of chicken for Zheng Anyan.

"Jingning." Zheng Anyan took a bite, put down his chopsticks, opened his mouth, but made no sound.

"Huh?" Jing Ning leaned forward, thinking that Zheng Anyan had something to say, so he laughed, "Father has something to say."

But soon things went wrong, Zheng Anyan's face turned red, her panting became louder and louder, and her breathing seemed to be very difficult, Jing Ning hurriedly called for someone, and rushed to Zheng Anyan, Zheng Anyan glanced at her, and straightened her back fell down.

"Father!" Jing Ning was so frightened that he also knelt down with a plop, grabbed Zheng Anyan's head, and called for someone loudly.

For a moment, maids and servants poured out from all around the hall, startled and running, the scene was in chaos.

Jing Ning forced himself to calm down, Zheng Anyan in his arms was dying, and he had to seek help as soon as possible.

She brewed a breath and let out a long drink, calming down the chaotic servants.

"Hurry up and tell the imperial physician in the mansion!" She turned her head and looked at a young servant with sharp eyes. The young servant hurriedly stumbled and ran out the door as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Help the master..." Jing Ning instructed the two little maids beside him, and then stood aside, frowning.

Within the time of a cup of tea, the mansion was brightly lit, Zheng Anyan had been helped back to his room, and the imperial physician specially appointed by the mansion was coming in and out of the room, sweating profusely.

"Imperial Physician... Imperial Physician Liu! My father..." Jing Ning watched the Imperial Physician walking out, hurriedly reached out to grab him, and asked about the situation.

Imperial Physician Liu smiled and said comfortingly, "Prime Minister treated her in time, and her life is no longer in danger. Ms. Zheng can rest assured..."

As soon as these words were uttered, a stone fell from Jing Ning's heart, "But..." Imperial Physician Liu changed the subject, "The Prime Minister's symptoms are not caused by the body, but food poisoning, plus the strange poison from the Western Regions in this incense burner , it has the effect of accelerating the onset.”

"Food poisoning? Strange poisons from the Western and Western Regions?" Jing Ning was startled, and hurried back to the dining table, when the person in charge of the spoon was heard, kneeling on the ground, and tremblingly said: "Miss... Familiar with what you can't eat together... This, this food... There will be no problem!"

Jing Ning didn't answer, but Imperial Physician Liu, who followed closely behind, said, "I was checking the prime minister's pulse just now in the prime minister's room, and I accidentally caught a glimpse of the teacup on the table, so I went up to check and found that it was a pot of very strong tea. Chrysanthemum tea."

Imperial Physician Liu glanced at the table, his expression suddenly froze, he quickly picked up the plate of drunken chicken in the center, and turned to look at Jingning.

"Miss Zheng, may I get your pulse?" Imperial Physician Liu said, Jing Ning stretched out his hand, and Imperial Physician Liu gently put it on.

"Miss Zheng, this chicken and chrysanthemum should not be eaten together. If it is less, it will cause fainting, and if it is more, it will cause death! The poisonous incense from the Western Regions in the incense burner hastened the prime minister's poisoning. The reason why Miss Zheng is relatively safe is because she has taken it before. What kind of medicine can fight against it." After finishing speaking, Imperial Physician Liu looked at the spoon holder kneeling on the ground, and the spoon holder kowtowed in fright again, "Miss, Miss! Imperial physician Liu! The little one is just a spoon holder! The one who is in charge of... the tea is Wang Po!"

Although Jing Ning looked calm, his face was as pale as snow.

This chicken was given to Zheng Anyan by her...

In this way... Didn't she become the one who killed her father...

Suddenly, an old woman was brought in by the servant and knelt down on the ground.

"Miss! Miss! I really don't know... I really don't know... Today's tea is boiled in one pot... The tea brewed is also the same as yesterday's tea... How, how could it be There is an extra pot of chrysanthemum tea...the servants don't even know..."

Jing Ning listened, but didn't answer.

Imperial Physician Liu at the side noticed her strangeness, and hurriedly said: "Miss Zheng, don't blame yourself, it happened suddenly, no one could have expected it, it's more important to find out who gave the master this pot of tea as soon as possible."

Jing Ning nodded blankly, his numb brain began to function slowly, and the scenes before the meal began to reappear in front of his eyes.

What is the problem?

Then came the little maid who was in charge of making tea. Before this little maid got close to Jing Ning, she was so frightened that she fell to her knees.

"Be honest, don't be afraid." Jing Ning closed his eyes.

"The tea and the waiter are indeed missing three or two ounces of chrysanthemum..." As soon as the little girl's words came out, it was like thunder on the ground. Jing Ning stood up suddenly and said loudly, "Can you find out who took it!"

The little maid who was lying on the ground trembled when she heard the words, her voice was a little crying, "No... I don't know... I, my servant, I am also afraid of being scolded by Wang Po... so I dare not say it..."

Suddenly, a little girl in green clothes standing next to her said anxiously, "I, I saw the second lady's maid walking around in the tea room today...but...but she wouldn't let me stretch out...I don't think it's okay either. It's a big deal...so..."

Hearing this, Jing Ning raised her hand suddenly, and dropped a teacup, the tea splashed and landed on the skirt of her sleeve, Jing Ning frowned, anger surfaced.

Zheng Xiuning!You are so brave!
