Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Chapter 388 The Emperor's Nightmare

"But the emperor's health is under the care of the imperial physician. The emperor's medical records are confidential and cannot be freely viewed by anyone."

"As for the details of the Emperor's nightmare, I cannot speak of them casually. General Jiang, please forgive me."

Jiang Ningwan was somewhat disappointed with this result, but not surprised.

Regarding the emperor's physical condition, this is of course of paramount importance and will not be disclosed without absolute trust and necessity.

Jiang Ningwan didn't ask any more questions and nodded slightly, "No problem, thank you Eunuch Hai."

Afterwards, Jiang Ningwan left, and Eunuch Hai watched her go away, his expression gradually becoming more solemn.

At this time, a young eunuch came over and said, "Master, what are you doing watching General Jiang? He has already left."

Hai Dehong came back to his senses and sighed, "I hope I'm overthinking it."

Xiao Anzi was a little curious, "Master seems to be taking extra care of General Jiang, why is that?"

Hai Dehong's expression grew serious, and he patted his head. "Have you forgotten everything I taught you? Read more, remember more, and ask less!"

Xiao Anzi was puzzled and touched his head, "I remember everything Master taught me!"

……

Returned to his residence.

Qin Shuangchi was playing with Xiao Hei in the room.

Xiao Hei's leg has almost healed and he is full of energy. If no one is playing with him, I am worried that he will sneak away and get into danger.

"What does the Emperor want you to do?"

Jiang Ningwan then told Qin Shuangchi what had happened, and then reminded him, "I suspect the emperor had a nightmare because of your near assassination attempt at the Binghe Banquet yesterday."

"Why else would he be asking if there's armor in the mansion? He's very afraid of you."

"I think you should wear clothes in softer colors recently to reduce the murderous aura you exude."

Qin Shuangchi nodded, "Okay."

He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Ningwan, but Jiang Ningwan was still lost in thought.

He asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else?"

Jiang Ningwan mentioned Eunuch Hai, "Do you think Eunuch Hai takes good care of me?"

"Just now I wanted to ask him about the emperor's nightmare, but he refused to disclose it."

Hearing this, Qin Shuangchi pondered for a while.

The answer was, "Haidehong served two emperors and has a sharp mind. He must know what to say and what not to say. If you ask the emperor about his nightmare, he will definitely not tell you."

"It's true that he takes care of you, but it should be said that he takes care of the Ling family."

Jiang Ningwan was startled, "Why?"

Qin Shuangchi said slowly: "Because General Ling has done him a favor."

"Hai Dehong wasn't originally a eunuch in the palace. He was the illegitimate son of the Cui family, a prominent family. When the old lady of the Cui family learned of his existence, she insisted on taking him back home to recognize his ancestral roots. However, a few days after returning home, he was secretly plotted by his concubine, who bribed people in the palace and sent him back to the palace to serve as a eunuch."

"By the time the Cui family found out, it was already done. They couldn't possibly recognize a child with a defective body, so they had no choice but to keep Hai Dehong in the palace."

"Just like that, he went from being a son of an aristocratic family to a eunuch in the palace. But he was also lucky in the palace. He followed the right person and later became someone close to the retired emperor."

"Later, the Cui family was implicated in several cases due to forming a clique for personal gain, and their entire family was executed."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was surprised, "Then he actually escaped a disaster by turning a disaster into a blessing."

Qin Shuangchi nodded, "Yes, he escaped, but his grandmother did not."

"Grandmother Cui was probably the only person who treated him well and was kind to him at that time."

"It was General Ling who interceded for her. The old lady of the Cui family was old and had made great contributions, so he asked for a pardon for her."

"Although Mrs. Cui committed suicide, at least her body was intact and she was properly buried."

Jiang Ningwan thought thoughtfully, "I see."

"Is that why Eunuch Hai is so concerned about the Ling family?"

Qin Shuangchi nodded, "This is the only thing I know about his connection with the Ling family."

"Maybe there's another reason."

"When General Ling was convicted, he also pleaded for mercy."

After listening to it, Jiang Ningwan had an idea in her mind.

Although there was a favor, it was not big enough for Eunuch Hai to risk his head to reveal the emperor's illness to her.

Lost in thought.

Suddenly, Qin Shuangchi spoke again: "Perhaps... the emperor's nightmare is related to the armor."

"Otherwise, why would I call you over today to test you, and even give you my former armor as a reward?"

Jiang Ningwan's eyes lit up, "That makes sense!"

On that day, Qin Shuangchi changed into a white robe with gold patterns and paired it with a white jade hair crown. His angular face became less fierce and more gentle. His every move was calm and unhurried, and he exuded nobleness.

The emperor used Jiang Ningwan's sleeping prescription for two days. Although he had some difficulty falling asleep at first, he slept soundly all night without nightmares.

This made the emperor feel much better.

That afternoon, Jiang Ningwan was lying on a bamboo chair under the shade of a tree in the yard, playing with Xiao Hei with a small rope.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside. Xiao Hei quickly jumped into the bushes and hid, observing vigilantly with his round eyes.

Jiang Ningwan raised her head and waited for the person to come.

Then Xiao Anzi came in and brought some sweet soup to relieve the heat.

Xiao Anzi bowed respectfully towards her and said, "General Jiang, the emperor used your sleeping recipe and it worked very well. He asked me to bring you some freshly made snacks and sweet soup from the imperial kitchen."

Jiang Ningwan nodded slightly, "Thank you, Eunuch An."

Xiao Anzi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and smiled, "General Jiang, you are too polite."

"The Emperor is in a good mood and wants to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow. If General Jiang wants to go with him, he should make preparations in advance."

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "Okay, I understand."

She picked up another box of snacks and said, "I can't eat so much. Eunuch An, please take some. You've worked hard in such a hot day."

Xiao Anzi was flattered and took the snack box, "Thank you, General Jiang!"

Suddenly, a dark object shook in the grass. Xiao Anzi glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and began to doubt his eyes.

He bowed again and left.

Eunuch Hai is almost old, and he is now training Xiao Anzi to serve the emperor. In the future, Xiao Anzi may inherit Eunuch Hai's position. It is not a bad thing to make friends with him now.

Thinking that the emperor was going hunting tomorrow, Jiang Ningwan thought that Qin Wenli should participate.

After locking Xiao Hei in the room, he went to Qin Wenli's residence.

When we arrived, Xie Lianyi was helping Qin Wenli try on the lightweight armor.

"It fits me well, let's wear this." Shen Lianyi finished tidying it up and looked at it with a smile on his face.

Qin Wenli's face was also full of tenderness. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

It would be a bit of a spoiler to disturb them at this time, but Jiang Ningwan still walked over, "You can't wear this!"

The two looked back in surprise.

Jiang Ningwan walked into the room and closed the door.

"Tomorrow we're going hunting, so you can't wear this, cousin. And you can't show off in any way tomorrow. I know you're an expert at riding and shooting, but you have to pretend to be good at riding and shooting tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, both of them were very confused.

"why?"
