Chapter 392: Named Nimei
It was dawn the next day.
Eunuch Hai came in person to invite them, "Your Majesty, Princess, the Emperor invites you two to have breakfast."
Jiang Ningwan was slightly surprised. The emperor had never let them have breakfast together.
"Eunuch Hai, is there something wrong with the Emperor?"
Eunuch Hai smiled and said, "It's okay, I just want you two to have breakfast."
Jiang Ningwan was about to leave the room when Eunuch Hai reminded her, "Someone will come to clean the house today. If you have any important things, General Jiang, please take them with you to avoid losing them."
Eunuch Hai seemed to be hinting at something.
Jiang Ningwan nodded slightly, "I've brought them all with me."
Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi were then taken away.
Go and have breakfast with the emperor.
Qin Chengqian and Qin Wenli were also there. During breakfast, Qin Chengqian repeatedly mentioned yesterday's horse riding and archery competition.
"What have you been doing lately, Third Brother? How come your horseback archery skills are so bad that you lost to me twice?"
Qin Wenli lowered his head in shame, "Big brother has improved so much in riding and archery. I will practice diligently and try not to lose to you next time."
Qin Wenli's surrender made Qin Chengqian even more proud.
Finally, I beat Qin Wenli by a lot.
The emperor praised him many times for this. As long as he keeps up the trend, it is not impossible for him to be appointed as the crown prince again.
At the same time, a large number of guards entered Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi's room and began to search.
But after searching the entire room and yard, the cat was not found.
After breakfast, Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi went back together.
On the way, he saw many guards searching the gardens and bushes with great care.
Jiang Ningwan asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"
The guard replied respectfully, "The Emperor has ordered a thorough search of the palace. No animals are allowed to be seen. Any animals found will be killed without mercy."
When they returned to the room, they found that it had obviously been turned over, which made them even more certain of something.
Jiang Ningwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she sent Xiao Hei out last night.
If I were found today, I would probably not be able to survive.
"It seems that Xiangsui said something to the emperor." Qin Shuangchi said slowly.
"If the plan goes smoothly, Xie Yongan should leave the palace today."
The two waited patiently for movement.
After searching the palace for a whole day, they didn't find the cat, so they gave up.
When it was almost dark, Xie Yongan hurried out of the palace, but did not take the incense stalk with him.
Xiangsui is serving the emperor in the bedroom again.
A day later, Xiangsui was named Ni Meiren.
This means that Xiangsui will not leave Daning.
Xiangsui, who became the beautiful lady Ni, dressed more luxuriously and had a few more palace maids serving her. She went to meet several concubines in the harem in a very grand manner to show off the rewards given by the emperor.
The emperor knew about this, but he condoned it.
This made Xiangsui even more arrogant.
He even started to make things difficult for Haidehong.
A cup of tea fell to the ground, and Xiang Sui said angrily: "Such hot tea, are you trying to burn me to death?"
The eunuch serving tea knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, calm down! I will go get another cup!"
Hai Dehong also stepped forward to comfort her: "Your Majesty's preferences, we servants are still unsure, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Hearing this, Xiang Sui said quietly, "I think that little Anzi is quite good. He seems to be your apprentice, right? The apprentice taught by Eunuch Hai must be quick and tactful!"
"Let him serve."
Hai Dehong's expression changed slightly. "Xiao Anzi has been recovering from his injuries recently. I'm afraid he won't be able to serve the Empress well. I will replace him with two smart and clever ones."
Xiang Sui looked dissatisfied, "No, I want Xiao Anzi!"
"You don't agree?"
The cold eyes and tone were full of threats.
Hai Dehong remained calm and polite, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. When Xiao Anzi's injury is healed, I will arrange for him to serve you."
Xiang Sui smiled coldly, "Okay, then I'll give you three days."
"Three days is enough for him to recover. If he doesn't come after three days, then you are deliberately neglecting me."
Afraid that Hai Dehong would find an excuse to decline, he specifically mentioned the matter to the emperor when he accompanied him for dinner.
When the emperor heard her say that Xiao Anzi was going to serve, he did not hesitate at all and said, "That's not difficult. Hai Dehong, go and arrange it."
Hai Dehong's palms tightened slightly, "Your Majesty, Xiao Anzi is injured. It's not too late to go after he recovers."
He specifically reminded that Xiao Anzi was injured by Ni Meiren. If Xiao Anzi was transferred there, would he have a bad ending?
The emperor suddenly understood what was going on. "I remember now. It's the eunuch whose hand was stepped on by Lady Ni."
"Then wait until his hand is healed before going."
Hai Dehong's heart sank, "Yes."
Seeing that the emperor agreed, Xiang Sui smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hai Dehong cares very much about this apprentice. Once Xiao Anzi is transferred to her side, his life will be in her hands.
When the time comes, I'll ask Hai Dehong to do something, and I'm sure he won't refuse.
Hai Dehong on the side lowered his head, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
……
late at night.
After taking a walk in the garden, Jiang Ningwan prepared to go back to her room to rest.
As soon as I arrived, someone else came.
Hai Dehong came alone with Xiao Anzi, and also brought some food for Jiang Ningwan.
"General Jiang, Xiao Anzi's hand has gotten much better. I brought him here to thank you in person."
Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "You're welcome. You were injured because of me."
"It's getting late today. I'll give you another acupuncture treatment tomorrow. Take good care of yourself and you'll be back to normal in a month or so."
At this moment, she just thought that they, the master and disciple, had simply come to express their gratitude.
Until Hai Dehong said, "Since you are here, please trouble General Jiang to give him acupuncture."
After saying this, he glanced at the lit room with concern, "I wonder if this will disturb His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu?"
Jiang Ningwan glanced back and suddenly understood something. She raised her voice and said, "The King of Chu is not here. He ate too much at dinner and went out for a walk."
"Then I'll give Xiao Anzi acupuncture. You guys follow me."
As he spoke, Jiang Ningwan brought the master and disciple to another room.
Qin Shuangchi, who was reading in the next room, froze slightly.
The movement of turning pages became much lighter.
After closing the door, Jiang Ningwan took out a silver needle and gave Xiao Anzi acupuncture.
Hai Dehong on the side slowly said: "Miss Ni wants to transfer Xiao Anzi to serve by her side. Xiao Anzi has been with me for several years. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard. If he goes to Miss Ni's side, I'm afraid..."
Jiang Ningwan gave Xiao Anzi acupuncture without changing her expression, and she probably understood the purpose of Hai Dehong coming to see her late at night.
As she was giving the acupuncture, she said, "It's not difficult. I'll ask my aunt to help and move Xiao Anzi over there."
No matter how favored Lady Ni is, she is just a beauty. All matters in the harem are now decided by Concubine Rong.
The emperor would not specifically blame Concubine Rong for a small eunuch.
Seeing Jiang Ningwan agree to help so readily, Hai Dehong was grateful.
"Xiao Anzi, why don't you kowtow to General Jiang!"
Little Anzi excitedly stood up and immediately kowtowed to Jiang Ningwan, "General Jiang, your kindness is so great, Little Anzi will never forget it!"
Jiang Ningwan was startled, "Hurry up and get up. The needle in your hand hasn't been removed yet."
After giving Xiao Anzi acupuncture, Hai Dehong asked Xiao Anzi to guard the door.
After the door closed, Hai Dehong whispered, "General Jiang asked me about this last time, and I know a thing or two."
