Chapter 393 Qin Chengqian angers the emperor
Jiang Ningwan was slightly surprised. Is Eunuch Hai willing to reveal it?
Hai Dehong whispered, "The emperor had a nightmare at night and shouted no. When he woke up, he ordered the servants to take the sword away from the room and the sword-carrying guards outside the courtyard were also transferred away."
"In fact, the Emperor had the same nightmare many years ago. Judging from his reactions after waking up, I guess he dreamed of a rebellion. A man in armor and holding a sword killed the Emperor in his dream."
After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was secretly shocked.
What you think about during the day you will dream about at night, and the person the emperor dreamed about must be Qin Shuangchi!
If he keeps having such dreams, he will definitely kill Qin Shuangchi.
"Thank you, Eunuch Hai, for telling me."
Jiang Ningwan thought that since Eunuch Hai was willing to tell her this, he must have considered the risks involved and was willing to take them.
"Then I won't bother you anymore." Eunuch Hai nodded and left with Xiao Anzi.
After seeing them off, Jiang Ningwan returned to her room.
Qin Shuangchi finally put down the book and asked, "They came to you to express more than just gratitude, right?"
Jiang Ningwan told him what had just happened, and Qin Shuangchi was also a little surprised after hearing it.
He sighed and said, "This Eunuch Hai is a man who values friendship and loyalty."
Jiang Ningwan nodded, "Xiao Anzi is loyal to him, and for good reason."
As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes slightly, as if thinking about something, "Now that I know the specific nightmare, I have a plan."
The two looked at each other meaningfully.
……
The next day, Concubine Rong transferred Xiao Anzi over there.
His hand injury had not healed yet, so Concubine Rong did not assign him any odd jobs, mainly to allow him to recover.
After Ni Meiren found out, she questioned Hai Dehong.
"This little Anzi is the one I wanted, and you actually gave him to Concubine Rong!"
Hai Dehong said helplessly: "This little Anzi was transferred here by the Imperial Concubine. I have no right to interfere."
Lady Ni was angry and went to the emperor to act like a spoiled child and make a scene.
But the person had already been transferred there by Concubine Rong, so the emperor could only appease her, "He's just a little eunuch. I'll just give you a few more servants."
"These trivial matters are not enough to make you cry and make a fuss."
The emperor's tone clearly showed some impatience. Lady Ni was good at reading people's expressions, so she didn't dare to mention the matter again.
Later, Concubine Rong brought medicine to the emperor.
By the way, I explained Xiao Anzi's matter.
"I have a few pots of flowers that need tending. I heard that Xiao Anzi is proficient in this, so I transferred him over."
"If Lady Ni hadn't come to my house today, I wouldn't have known that this little Anzi was wanted by Lady Ni. It's all my fault for not making good arrangements. I will send Little Anzi back later."
When the emperor heard what Concubine Rong said, his eyes darkened.
He said calmly, "She's just a little eunuch, why would she make a fuss?"
"It's really ignorant."
"Since Xiao Anzi has gone to your place, there's no need to transfer her here and there. I'm relieved that you'll take care of all the affairs of the harem. You don't have to indulge Lady Ni blindly. Don't forget the proper rules."
Concubine Rong nodded in agreement.
Concubine Rong left only after the emperor had finished drinking the medicine.
Ning Wan said that today's medicine has been modified. I wonder what the emperor's reaction will be after taking it.
After the emperor stopped having nightmares, Concubine Ni slept with him for several nights in a row.
That night, the medicine lost its effect.
In the middle of the night, the emperor was awakened by a nightmare again and kicked the person next to him off the bed.
This time, Ni Meiren reacted quickly. She immediately got up from the ground, put on her clothes and left the room.
Soon Hai Dehong came in to serve.
"Your Majesty, is having a nightmare again?"
The emperor sat on the bed, already covered in cold sweat, "Why is this medicine not working?"
Hai Dehong poured the tea and handed it forward. "I heard General Jiang and Concubine Rong say that if this medicine is taken every day, it will gradually lose its effect and we will have to change the prescription."
The emperor finished his tea and rubbed his forehead. "Let Jiang Ningwan write a new prescription in the morning."
"Yes!"
The emperor did not sleep again that night.
Recall this dream over and over again.
Every time I think about it, my memory of the dream deepens, and my feeling of unease gradually grows.
……
After dawn, Qin Wenli asked Qin Chengqian to go hunting in the back mountain again and compete in riding and archery.
Qin Chengqian sneered, "How did this become Third Brother's obsession? It's not shameful to lose to Big Brother."
Qin Wenli was unwilling to accept it, "Brother, are you scared?"
Seeing Qin Wenli so anxious, Qin Chengqian was even happier. "I'm afraid you'll keep losing and won't be able to handle it!"
"Since you insist on competing again, then let's do it!"
So the two of them prepared themselves and went up the back mountain.
Without a doubt, Qin Wenli lost again and was a little angry.
Qin Chengqian smiled smugly and said sarcastically, "Third brother, you insist on competing. Look, isn't this just asking for humiliation?"
There were a lot of people around, and the sarcasm made Qin Wenli even more embarrassed.
Furious, he drew the sword from the guard's waist and pointed it at Qin Chengqian, "Brother, do you dare to fight me?"
Qin Chengqian laughed arrogantly, "Why not?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he drew out his sword and stabbed Qin Wenli.
The two fought extremely fiercely.
It was already nearly evening, and there was still some glow of sunset on the mountain, but it was already dark in the palace.
Suddenly, a fire shot up from one of the houses, which was particularly bright in the darkness.
A guard came running over and shouted anxiously, "Your Highnesses, stop fighting! There's a fire in the palace. It looks like it's the Emperor's residence!"
Upon hearing this, their faces changed drastically and they immediately stopped fighting and distanced themselves.
Qin Wenli looked into the palace and said, "It really is on fire! Father..."
Qin Chengqian didn't even have time to look and rushed down the mountain.
With so many people in the palace, I don't think anything will happen to my father.
But he wants to be the first son to save the emperor!
With this thought in mind, he was completely unaware of anything unusual. He rushed forward without taking off his armor or sheathing his sword.
The guard An in the palace was busy fetching water, running back and forth anxiously.
Qin Chengqian was extremely anxious and rushed into the emperor's yard. When he saw that the house was safe and sound, it was too late.
His body's reaction made him rush into the room.
"Father! How is Father?"
Hai Dehong tried to stop him from the door but couldn't. "Your Highness, you can't come in!"
At this moment, the emperor was sitting at his desk reading memorials.
When I heard the noise and looked up, I saw Qin Chengqian, dressed in armor, holding a long sword in his hand, looking very aggressive.
It instantly brought back nightmares from his memory.
He grabbed the inkstone on the table and smashed it over—
"presumptuous!"
The inkstone fell at Qin Chengqian's feet. The angry voice made his head buzz, and his body almost subconsciously fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty... I learned that your residence was on fire. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I rushed here. I beg your forgiveness for disturbing you!"
The emperor's face darkened at this explanation, his anger barely concealed. "You come to save me dressed like this, holding a sword?"
Qin Chengqian's forehead was covered in sweat, and he immediately threw the sword out of the house. "Father, I was fighting with my third brother in the back mountain, and I didn't pay attention to the sword. Please forgive me!"
At this moment, Qin Wenli also arrived. Although he looked anxious and worried, he was dressed in neat casual clothes and had no sharp weapons in his hands.
"I heard that the palace was on fire, but I am relieved that my father is fine."
