Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 261

Sometimes Shu Ning still regrets, why is the emperor the emperor?If he was a son of a family, Shu Ning would definitely pursue him.In this era, it is very rare for the emperor not to insist that a woman's lack of talent is virtue.It can be said that the emperor is indeed a good man, but his status limits her relationship with him.

But if the emperor is really not the emperor, maybe it's not Shuning's turn to know him, after all the age difference between the two is quite big.

Listening to the emperor's pleasant voice, Shu Ning gradually fell asleep. In the dream, she saw her former self, that ordinary self.

"This is……"

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar decorations, Shu Ning was stunned for a moment.

"So I haven't forgotten?"

"Aifei?"

When the emperor's voice came, Shuning woke up from her dream.

"Have a nightmare?"

The emperor helped her sit up.

"Hmm~"

Shu Ning wiped the sweat off her forehead and asked people to come in to change her clothes, her body was sticky and uncomfortable.

"What dream did you have?" the emperor asked concerned.

"A dream that I don't know if it's true or not, I can't remember the details."

Shu Ning shut herself up, she was prone to fatigue after she became pregnant, and now she was recovering, she gradually became confused.

"Sleep, I'm here."

The emperor patted her on the back lightly, and soon Shuning fell asleep.

Because of the nightmare, she didn't fall asleep until the emperor left, and the emperor specially told everyone not to disturb the imperial concubine to sleep.

In fact, even if the emperor didn't say anything, Mei Chun and the others wouldn't worry about their master. This is the time for the master to rest and sleep as long as he can. After all, it's too hard to be pregnant for ten months!
"For some reason, I have a strange feeling about the baby in my womb."

Shu Ning touched her stomach and said softly.

"Master, what did you say?"

Mei Chun was combing her hair, but considering that the master is pregnant now, she only did a simple hairstyle with some hair loose at the back.

"It's nothing, you can continue!" Shuning shook her head.

"Master, the empress has brought something over."

A court lady came in with a basket in her hand.

"Who are you? How dare you enter the inner hall?" Mei Dong stood in front of Shu Ning, took out the dagger in his arms and pointed at Shu Ning.

"I……"

The palace lady didn't expect that the other party would recognize her. She had already painted herself like her twin sister, so why was she recognized?
"Where's Lan Xin?"

Lan Xin is the maid of Changning Palace, the twin sister of the maid who came to assassinate Shuning.

"Her? Hahaha, let's die a long time ago!" The other party smiled cruelly. She had always disliked the younger sister who looked the same as herself, so she was merciless when she killed her, and stabbed her vitally.

"Hmm~"

Shu Ning's complexion changed, and her eyes were full of murderous intent. She would never spare this assassin.

"Mei Dong, I leave it to you."

Shu Ning didn't turn her head, she just looked at the glass mirror brought in as tribute from overseas, and the mirror reflected the scene of the entire apse.

"Yes."

Although Lan Xin's twin sister was sent to assassinate the imperial concubine because she looked the same as Lan Xin, she was a powerless woman.Although she had some strength, she was no match for Mei Dong's martial arts, but she was subdued with two moves, and her chin was also removed.

"Hou Lin."

Mei Dong called out, and Hou Lin came in quickly.

"This……"

When Hou Lin saw it, he immediately knelt down. He was in charge of guarding the gate of the palace, but now he let the assassin in. He deserves death!
"Forget it, I don't blame you for this. She and Lan Xin are twin sisters. It's normal for you not to recognize her." If it wasn't for being familiar with Lan Xin, knowing her character, and never entering the apse rashly, even They didn't recognize each other for a while.

"Open the basket and have a look."

Shu Ning looked at the basket thrown aside.

"Yes."

Mei Dong checked and opened it, and there was a plate of jujube cake inside. After checking, a kind of poison that could see blood and seal the throat was injected into it.

"Looks like they're planning to poison me to death."

Shuning stood up, walked to the basket, and lightly touched the basket with her foot.

"Hou Lin, I will leave the rest to you."

"Yes, the servant must complete the task."

Hou Lin gave a sinister smile, and dragged the court lady away. If you dare to assassinate the master, our family will let her know what life is better than death.

"And Lan Xin, send someone to look for it?"

This girl is also suffering, she was not favored at home before, after entering the palace, she thought that her elder sister treated her well because they were the only sisters in the palace who depended on each other, but who knew it was a death talisman, so it turned out that being nice to her was for another purpose.

Sitting on the couch, Shu Ning's expression was not very good, the queen had rushed over after receiving the news.

"You are so bold, you dare to use me."

The queen was very angry. It is well known that the imperial concubine likes to eat the red date cake she made, but she didn't expect that someone would use her hand to assassinate the imperial concubine.

Thinking of the consequences of the imperial concubine eating the jujube cake, the queen's nails scratched her palm.

"Sister, what are you doing? My sister is fine. My sister doesn't know yet. The food my sister eats will be inspected. This poison can't get into my sister's mouth." She was negligent in the gazebo last time. I thought they were not so courageous. Great, after all, the emperor and the empress dowager are also there, so they may also eat it.I never thought that those people would ignore everything, which made me almost fall for the trick.

"Thinking that you almost ate the jujube cake, I feel very uncomfortable." The queen let Shuning prescribe the medicine for her.
