Chapter 140 Vomiting Blood and Fainting in Shock
After Liang Jiugong left, Shi Nanxi suddenly felt the gazes were even hotter than before. She did not stay and turned to go into the house. As soon as she entered the house, she heard a sinister voice.
"Shi Nanxi, when did you hook up with the emperor?"
Shi Nanxi paused and looked towards the direction of the bead curtain, and saw Shi Rongyue sitting on the couch and looking at her. The bead curtain blocked her view and she couldn't see the other person's expression, but she knew that the other person was suspicious of her.
As long as it doesn't involve the Fourth Prince, Shi Rongyue's brain can still be used.
She didn't want to expose the fact that she was a time-traveling girl, so she lifted the beaded curtain while telling Hongying:
"Hongying, you and Zixia go and wait outside. I have something to say to my elder sister."
After hearing this, Hongying immediately pulled Zixia, who was still in shock, out, and as soon as Shi Nanxi opened the curtain, she met Shi Rongyue's suspicious and inquiring gaze.
Shi Rongyue looked at Shi Nanxi carefully. Could it be that this girl was also a time-traveling woman? She was the heroine, and she was the supporting actress?
Shi Nanxi met such a look with a calm expression, and she said:
"Eldest sister, this is the Imperial Palace. Don't say anything like flirting with the Emperor again, lest someone hears you and you be charged with disrespect."
Shi Rongyue's heart suddenly trembled, and the next moment he said:
"You don't need to remind me. Just tell me when you had a...relationship with the emperor. I don't believe that he would suddenly fall in love with you."
Shi Nanxi did not answer immediately, but walked to the other side of the couch and sat down, then she gently held the handkerchief and whispered:
"I don't know where to start with this question, elder sister."
"Then let's make a long story short!"
Shi Rongyue turned around and stared at Shi Nanxi's expression opposite her, not missing a single detail.
Shinanxi nodded.
"Then let's start with what my elder sister told me yesterday not to think too much about others and to think more about myself. I thought what my elder sister said made a lot of sense. I have always been a law-abiding person who listened to my father and mother's arrangements and never made decisions on my own. But after hearing what my elder sister said, I suddenly realized something."
When she said this, her expression was somewhat bitter and gloomy, but she no longer had the despair she had before.
"My sister has grown up. She should no longer worry about the love of her father and mother. She should think carefully about her future. So she went to the emperor and told him that she wanted to enter the palace."
"Looking for the Emperor?" Shi Rongyue was stunned, looking at Shi Nanxi as if he were a fool.
Can you find Kangxi whenever you want? Even if his son asks for an audience, he may not be able to see him every time?
Not to mention that you told Kangxi that you could enter the palace whenever you wanted? You wouldn't even dare to do that in your dreams!
Shi Nanxi ignored Shi Rongyue's look and suddenly brought up another matter.
"Eldest sister, do you still remember the first time you went to Changyin Pavilion to watch a play, you secretly put aphrodisiac in my red bean cake?"
Shi Rongyue was still wondering if Shi Nanxi was stupid or was deliberately teasing her, but she suddenly heard these words and subconsciously said:
"Of course I remember. That was a good opportunity I arranged for you, but you didn't cooperate. You took the aphrodisiac and ran away..."
As she said this, she suddenly thought of something and her eyes suddenly widened.
That time, she was angry that her plan failed and completely gave up on Shi Nanxi, so she didn't care where the other party went after being drugged.
Now she suddenly remembered that when Concubine Guo Luoluo sent someone to ask her, she couldn't answer. It was Chief Steward Liang who came to tell the prince, and then she knew that Shi Nanxi, who had been drugged by the aphrodisiac, fell into the water, and was lucky enough to be rescued by Kangxi.
"Could it be that time?"
Shi Rongyue couldn't help but ask for confirmation, with an expression of disbelief and reluctance to believe.
Shi Nanxi nodded slightly to Shi Rongyue. Yes, although not entirely, that was the most critical turning point in her relationship with Kangxi.
So she also has to thank Shi Rongyue for her vicious plot. Without her, her and Kangxi wouldn't have been so smooth.
When Shi Rongyue saw Shi Nanxi nod, her mind immediately fluttered. In other words, if she hadn't given Shi Nanxi an aphrodisiac, Shi Nanxi would never have had any contact with Kangxi.
Or maybe if she hadn't said yesterday, "Think carefully about yourself", with Shi Nanxi's timid and obedient nature, she would not have the courage to ask Kangxi to enter the palace. So today, she is about to enter the palace and become an empress, and it's all because of her!
After coming to this conclusion, Shi Rongyue's eyes suddenly became full of stars. He suddenly covered his chest with his hands and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Shi Nanxi blinked her eyes. It turned out that there were really people who could get so angry that they vomited blood. She had only heard of it before, but this was the first time she saw it with her own eyes.
"You, you, you..." Shi Rongyue's mouth was bleeding and his lips were trembling, making him unable to speak.
Seeing this, Shi Nanxi covered her mouth pretentiously and said in surprise:
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? I, I just wanted to answer your questions, why, why, I should have thanked you..."
With a puff, Shi Rongyue vomited blood again. At this time, Shi Nanxi screamed again:
"Ah, elder sister, your face, your face..."
Shi Rongyue was still a little dazed, but she subconsciously wiped her face with her hand. She felt the red rash that had slightly subsided reappear and became bigger. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Also, because he was originally sitting on the couch, he fell down with a thud, and the sound of his forehead hitting the ground was particularly loud. When Shi Nanxi saw this scene, he put away his expression, admired Shi Rongyue's miserable condition, and then slowly called for help.
"Oh no! Someone come quickly! My eldest sister fainted from the recurrence of the rash on her face!"
After a series of consultations with the imperial physician, pulse diagnosis, and acupuncture, Shi Rongyue finally woke up slowly. He was so weak that he could not utter a word.
Shi Nanxi had Shi Rongyue carried to the palace gate, and then took the rewards accumulated previously and got on the carriage arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to return to Shi's mansion.
……
The Shi Mansion had closed its doors to visitors since the Wanshou Festival, and everyone in the mansion was extremely cautious, not daring to make any mistakes.
All this happened because the princess who was designated as the Crown Princess in the palace was framed and had physical contact with the Fourth Prince the day before the re-election.
That happened in public, and she would definitely not be able to become the future Crown Princess. The master in the mansion was in a bad mood, and they, the servants, were also very cautious, fearing that he would be angered.
Today is the palace selection, and in the hall only the fourteen-year-old illegitimate eldest son Fu Dali is waiting with his younger brothers and sisters.
As for Shi Mu, she fell ill since returning from the palace and is still bedridden and unable to get up.
However, Shi's father had returned to Fuzhou the day after the prince's birthday ceremony. His biological grandmother had passed away early, and his step-grandmother had separated from her biological son and lived separately. His grandfather was in poor health, and Shi's mother had to take care of the entire Shi family, so she lived with her step-grandmother all year round.
After learning that the eldest sister was in trouble, my grandfather came over, but Shimu didn't say a word and left angrily without answering any questions. I heard that she went back and lay down on the bed, and didn't even come to the palace selection today.
"Why is there no news yet? Could something have happened to our eldest sister again?" At this time, the third concubine's daughter, Yi Yao, spoke with gloating expression.
Humph, normally her stepmother always used her eldest sister Shi Rongyue to suppress her. As a result, now the arrogant eldest sister has suffered a severe setback and can no longer become the Crown Princess. Let's see how her stepmother will use Shi Rongyue to suppress her in the future.
"Shut up, you can't frame my eldest sister."
The next moment, Guanyinbao, a short but strong man like a calf, started to scold. He was the only legitimate son of Shifu and had been practicing martial arts with his grandfather since he was a child. Although he was only eight years old, his temper was gradually becoming more like that of a warrior.
When Yiyao saw that it was Guanyinbao, she subconsciously shrank her head, then felt a little unwilling and immediately looked at her older brother Fudali who had the same mother as her.
Fu Dali saw his sister being scolded and frowned:
"Third brother, it is indeed getting late. Although what Yiyao said is a bit inappropriate, it is indeed worrying that there is no news yet."
Although he is the eldest son, he was born out of wedlock. With a legitimate son, it is destined that he will not be the one to inherit the title of Shi Mansion. He originally thought that being close to the legitimate eldest sister would help him gain a good future, but now all his efforts have been in vain, and his attitude towards the legitimate eldest sister has become cold.
This was true, and Guanyin Bao was also nervous in his heart, but that was his dearest sister from the same mother, who was always the best to him, and he didn't want anything to happen to her.
The room suddenly became quiet. After a while, a small voice suddenly sounded:
"Big brother, third brother, third sister, have you forgotten that there is a second sister? I didn't expect that the second sister also passed the re-election. I don't know who she will be assigned to?"
This is Xingyun, the youngest of the four illegitimate daughters.
Second sister! Everyone was stunned. They almost forgot about her.
After all, before the draft, no one had expected that Shi Nanxi, who had been timid and silent since childhood and had a very weak sense of presence, would pass the re-selection. They didn't spend much time with him, and the most profound impression they had of him was that every time he came back from the farm, he always tried his best to attract the attention of his father and mother, but the result was often funny.
"Second sister?" At this time, the third illegitimate daughter, Yao, sneered and said without hesitation:
"She was able to pass the re-selection only because the palace allowed her to pass because her elder sister was in trouble in the palace, in order to appease our Shi family. There is no need to think about the palace selection, she will definitely fail and come back to get married."
She was not convinced by Shi Rongyue, but she looked down on Shi Nanxi. She was a legitimate daughter, but she was even more petty than her, a concubine's daughter.
After these words came out, no one said anything, and they all thought so in their hearts. However, at this moment, the excited voice of the Shi Mansion’s housekeeper came in:
"It's out, the news is out, the Second Princess has passed the palace selection and will enter the palace to become a queen!"
"what?"
Everyone was stunned. At the same time, the carriage of the Shi Nanxi sisters arrived at the gate of the Shi Mansion.
