Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Chapter 146 Life and Death 1 Line

With the order in place, everyone was at a loss and had no choice but to follow Jiang Lige's orders and do what they were told immediately.

Jiang Lige didn't care about being decent or not, and ran to Funing Palace holding her skirt. The Xiang-colored skirt fluttered by the lake, becoming the only bright color around her.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed over from nowhere, and before Jiang Lige could react, the figure was pushed into the lake.

Her body sank rapidly and uncontrollably, and cold water rushed in from all directions, pouring into her mouth and nose, making it impossible for her to breathe. Everything she saw became blurred.

It's no secret that Jiang Lige doesn't know how to swim.

It was so quiet all around that I could hardly hear any movement.

No one can save her.

Realizing this, Jiang Lige struggled desperately, but the more she struggled, the more her body sank and her consciousness became more and more blurred.

At the moment when he was about to lose consciousness, Jiang Lige thought inappropriately, was Ning Yunxiao also in such pain when he fell into the evil river?

The lake was bottomless. Before the last ray of light in his eyes disappeared, a figure broke through the water and splashed a large amount of water on the calm lake surface.

The man swam towards Jiang Lige with all his might, then grabbed her arm and brought her out of the darkness.

Before he could embrace the fresh air that he had lost, Jiang Lige lost his last bit of consciousness in the noisy sound of people falling to the ground, and his eyes went dark and he fainted.

In a remote corner of the palace, Princess Jingyu and Jiang Chuchu reunited after a few days to discuss their plans.

"You dare to take action in the palace? You really are asking for your life."

Compared to Princess Jingyu's surprise, Jiang Chuchu was much calmer in her words. "Jiang Lige ruined our plan and put Her Highness in such an embarrassing situation. Even if Chuchu risks her life, she will avenge Her Highness."

This point really hit the nail on the head for Princess Jingyu. No matter what, it was good to make Jiang Lige suffer.

Thinking of this, Princess Jingyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Empress Xiao has passed away."

"That's good." Jiang Chuchu smiled. "If Jiang Lige drowned, and Empress Xiao happened to show up somewhere, the Empress Dowager would definitely keep her in mind. Mothers-in-law have many ways to abuse their daughters-in-law, and this can be considered revenge for Her Royal Highness the Princess. If Jiang Lige is lucky enough to survive, Empress Xiao brought so many guards and palace maids with her. She can't beat them all to death with so many people watching. And Jiang Lige is soaking wet, so how could the royal family accept such a daughter-in-law?"

Princess Jingyu was a bit timid, and she was still a little nervous. "Is everything handled this time? I hope there won't be any more accidents?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, nothing will go wrong again."

"That's good." Princess Jingyu's expression brightened slightly after hearing this. "Our Princess Zhaohua is always scheming, isn't she? Now I want to see how she can break the deadlock."

……

Ning Yunxiao fell off a cliff while suppressing bandits, and his life or death is unknown. The lights in the Golden Palace were on all night long. The ministers knelt on the ground but could not think of a proper solution. No one in the palace dared to breathe.

Jiang Lige fell into the water in a hurry, hanging by a thread, and everyone in Funing Palace was in chaos. The imperial doctors and palace maids were all waiting in the palace to accompany the ancestor on the bed. Ginseng, deer antlers and other rare medicinal materials were sent in without any cost.

The entire court and harem were in turmoil.

Jiang Lige had been in the water for quite some time and had choked on a lot of water, which damaged his lungs and caused a high fever. The fever lasted intermittently for three days. At one point, even the imperial physician reported to Empress Dowager Jiang in a trembling voice, asking her to be prepared.

Empress Dowager Jiang, who had dominated the harem for many years, only stayed with him for one night, and she actually had a few more strands of white hair visibly appearing on her. To a certain extent, Empress Dowager Jiang and Jiang Lige were the same person, and they dared to bet.

Therefore, the next day, Empress Dowager Jiang simply dismissed those "senior" imperial physicians and asked someone to invite Shi Daizhi.

Although Shi Daizhi has some medical skills, in a place like the Imperial Hospital where seniority is valued, his current status is just an apprentice, and according to the rules he cannot treat nobles.

Now that he had come on the orders of the Empress Dowager, naturally no one dared to stop him. Shi Daizhi took Jiang Lige's pulse, examined him, and told the Empress Dowager the truth about the situation: "Princess Zhaohua's high fever has persisted for several days and it is indeed a problem. This humble official has no choice but to give it a try."

"Okay, you... give it your all!" Empress Dowager Jiang's hands, twisting the Buddhist beads, trembled. Suddenly, she called out solemnly, and then said word by word, "Please!"

"Yes, I obey your command." His face did not show any sign of inappropriateness.

Shi Daizhi took the order and left. As soon as he walked out the door, he ran into Feng Quan who was eavesdropping at the door.

When Shi Daizhi was treating Empress Dowager Jiang and temporarily staying in the palace, Feng Quan was responsible for taking care of Shi Daizhi's daily life, so the two of them were quite familiar with each other.

Fengquan has always been steady, gentle and self-possessed. This is the first time Shi Daizhi has seen such a panicked look on Fengquan's face. "Miss Fengquan, you..."

Before Shi Daizhi could finish his words of comfort, he saw Feng Quan kneeling down in front of him.

"Doctor Shi, you are a skilled doctor, so you must have a solution, right? Please, please save our princess!"

Shi Daizhi never dared to promise something he was not sure of, so he could only say vaguely: "Miss Fengquan, I will do my best."

To Fengquan, this answer sounded no different from any other imperial physician's excuses.

"Our princess is a good person, the best of good people." The person kneeling on the ground suddenly collapsed as if exhausted, crying like a child. "When I first entered the palace, I was bullied and pushed into the icy lake. It was the princess who saved me. It's because I've been by her side all these years that no one dared to bully or humiliate me. If the princess had... I wouldn't be able to survive!"

Shi Daizhi had always known that Jiang Lige's reputation was not good, but now, looking at the person crying in front of him, Shi Daizhi felt a little emotional for a moment, and asked: "I need a helper tonight, Miss Fengquan, would you like to help me?"

"Wha...what?" Feng Quan was stunned for a moment before reacting and immediately stood up, "I do!"

"it is good."

Shi Daizhi nodded, reached out to help Feng Quan, and the two of them entered Jiang Lige's bedroom together.

From changing handkerchiefs and cleaning to taking pulses and feeding medicine, the two of them stayed up all night, busy all the time. Jiang Lige's high fever only subsided when the sky was bright.

Shi Daizhi ignored the sweat on his forehead and rushed out to report to Empress Dowager Jiang happily: "Empress Dowager, Princess Zhaohua's fever has subsided!"

"really?!"

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Jiang finally smiled for the first time in the past few days. Before she could ask any more questions, Song Yue, who had been silent for several days, said with tears in her eyes:

"Empress Dowager, the princess is awake!"
