In fact, Qin Yining was very terrified.
This feeling of destiny was like the collapse of a mountain and the roar of a gale. As time went by, it was as if everything in the world would be crushed into powder.
This feeling made Qin Yining feel very powerless. It was as if he was standing on a leaf on the surging sea and could be swallowed up at any time.
"Bing Tang, do you think the chances of Prince Ning being saved are high?"
When Qin Yining asked this, Ji Yun and Qiu Lu also frowned and looked over.
Bing Tang sniffed and shook her head with a dispirited expression.
"Prince Ning's injuries are too serious and he lost too much blood. In addition, he is not young anymore. The infection of his wound is very serious. Not everyone can survive this kind of situation. When this servant came back, the Emperor personally went to see him. All the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital gathered together to think of a solution, but the situation did not improve. "
There were some things that were simply beyond the reach of human strength.
Qin Yining lowered his head sadly. After a long time, he took Bing Tang's hand and let her sit beside him.
He said faintly, "Everyone has their own fate. Some things will happen, just like how everyone will be born, grow old, get sick, and die. We will all die one day. Prince Ning is a good man. Everything he did was from the bottom of his heart. He followed his heart in this life. He cleaned up the Emperor's side and fought against foreign enemies. Even if something bad happened, it was a glorious ending for a military general. Everything he did did not lose his integrity as a member of the imperial family. He is a hero, not a coward. "
Bing Tang nodded with tears falling down her face. "This servant knows. To be honest, I was born in a medical family and learned medical skills from a young age. This servant knows more about what life is and has seen many births, old age, illness, and death. Most of the time, I don't feel sad when I see these. But this time, seeing Prince Ning dying, I realized that I still can't harden my heart … Although he did some things wrong, he is a good man in general. He is worthy of the word 'human'. "
Qin Yining nodded sadly.
Qiu Lu and Ji Yun were also very sad.
"I still can't go out. You go take care of Prince Ning. He has done you a favor. As a person, you can't be ungrateful. What's more, wasn't Prince Ning still fine? If you do your best to treat him, you might be able to see a miracle. " After a while, Qin Yining pulled himself together and encouraged Bing Tang. "You have some skills, so you can give it a try. If you don't succeed even after trying your best, then don't regret it."
Bing Tang nodded heavily and wiped his tears. His gaze became much more determined.
"Alright, I'll take a look at Miss first. If there's nothing serious, I'll go to Prince Ning's Mansion after the prescription is written. Your body is still weak. The loss of blood this time has damaged your foundation. You won't be able to recover in a short period of time. You have to pay attention to your recuperation. "
"I know."
Bing Tang checked Qin Yining's pulse carefully and checked the wound on her shoulder. She changed the medicine again. After making sure that everything was fine, she left the yard for Prince Ning's Mansion.
In the evening, Qin Yining went to bed early in the morning. He reclined on a soft, light blue pillow and hugged Er Bai as he lay on the bed in a daze. Only then did Ji Yun approach him hesitantly.
"Miss."
Qin Yining turned around and saw Ji Yun standing outside through a thin layer of gauze. He smiled and said, "Come in and talk, in case there are mosquitoes."
"En." Ji Yun nodded and carefully closed the screen door. She stood beside Qin Yining.
Qin Yining asked, "What's wrong? You seem to have a lot on your mind today. "
Ji Yun hesitated and said, "I do have some questions. Please don't be angry."
Qin Yining saw her like this and said with a smile, "Do you want to ask me about Pang Zhixi?"
Ji Yun looked at Qin Yining in surprise. After a while, she nodded and said, "Yes, Miss's guess is very accurate."
"How could I have guessed it correctly? Your thoughts are written all over your face." Qin Yining sat up straight and said, "Actually, I won't hide it from you. I've been thinking about him for the past two days. Previously, I was also confused and didn't know what was the right thing to do when I was stuck in the middle. For example, Prince Ning was injured by him. If I were to side with him, would I not have asked Bing Tang to treat Prince Ning's illness? If he knew that I asked Bing Tang to treat Prince Ning's illness, would he be angry? "
Ji Yun nodded with every sentence she said.
"Miss, I don't have any other intentions. I just feel that you are in a difficult position."
"I also felt that it was difficult at first, but I've thought it through now." Qin Yining stroked Er Bai's soft fur and said, "He is a smart person. From the first day he approached me, he already knew that we were enemies. Even so, he still took the initiative to approach me. This shows that he knows what to do. Moreover, he told me that I don't need to care about these things. He will take care of everything. I only need to focus on being Miss Family Qin. So, I believe in him. "
She believed that he wouldn't be angry and that their hearts were connected.
"Miss, I don't understand." Ji Yun furrowed her brows.
Qin Yining said, "I only need to do what a Family Qin's daughter should do. I am a Family Qin's daughter. My father is from the Yan dynasty. Therefore, the prerequisite for me to be a Family Qin's daughter is to be a Yan dynasty's citizen. I won't harm the Yan dynasty's citizens for Pang Zhixi. When it comes to war, it depends on each person's ability. "
"But Miss, what if Wang Ye wins? You will be scolded by the Yan dynasty's citizens for being with him, right? What if Wang Ye defeats them? Won't he blame your father or you? "
"These situations can happen, but so what?" Qin Yining chuckled. "I am still me. He is still him. From the first day we met, we already knew that this day would come. Since we were already mentally prepared, what is there to worry about? National affairs are national affairs, and feelings are feelings. I can clearly distinguish between them, and Pang Zhixi should also be able to clearly distinguish between them. "
Ji Yun carefully pondered over Qin Yining's words. After a while, she understood what she meant and nodded. "Miss is an open-minded person. I can't compare to you. To be honest, I really envy Miss's temperament. "
"How am I open-minded? I am open-minded, that's all. " Qin Yining smiled helplessly. "Things have already happened, and we can't change reality. The only thing we can do is to follow the will of Heaven and do our best to follow our hearts. Can't you see it? A person's life is like that. A lifetime will pass very quickly. If you can hold on to it now, don't let go.
"Since Pang Zhixi and I have already come to this point, I won't hold a grudge against him because of the grudge between our country and me. I won't deliberately set him up. If I really had such thoughts, I wouldn't have agreed to be friends with him from the very beginning. As for our positions, we are indeed enemies. Perhaps there will be times when we can't directly confront each other, but I will only fight with him fair and square. "
Ji Yun's face was a bit hot.
She was indeed a bit worried that Qin Yining would use her identity to scheme against Pang Xiao. After all, Pang Xiao didn't guard against Qin Yining. If she was wholeheartedly devoted to her country and deliberately schemed against Pang Xiao, it would be difficult for Pang Xiao to escape from her trap.
She didn't directly ask, but Qin Yining sensitively answered her question.
Qin Yining saw her like this and only smiled faintly. "I have always believed that people can play politics and scheme, but they can't play with feelings. Especially the feelings of a person who truly cares for you. "
"Miss is extremely right. I have been thinking too much. "
"What are you saying? You are loyal, so it is only right for you to ask.
Ji Yun couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She changed the topic and said, "Right now, your hundred disciples have already moved in, and the main hall in front has also been renovated. His Majesty's intention is that the front courtyard can be opened tomorrow. I believe that there will be rumors outside that many pilgrims will come to pray for blessings. "
"Fortunately, there are still a hundred obedient disciples who can deal with the people outside. I can't be bothered to deal with them at the front. Moreover, I am not a saintess or a Daoist nun. When the time comes, I am afraid that I will be exposed if I speak. "
"Miss is so smart. Even if you casually speak nonsense, the commoners will also believe it."
Just as Ji Yun finished speaking, she heard footsteps outside.
Qin Yining and Ji Yun looked at each other, and the two of them looked downstairs through the screen.
They saw the imperial guard at Chuihua Gate walking downstairs and cupping his hands at them, "Replying to Daoist, a large number of commoners have gathered outside Xuansu Temple, and they are all clamoring to see you. Because it is already late, the people guarding the gate don't dare to let them in. After persuading them, they refused to leave. Now, there are more and more people, and they are almost blocking the entrance of the courtyard. "
Qin Yining asked curiously, "What are the commoners doing here in the middle of the night? His Majesty's order to open the courtyard, isn't it tomorrow? "
That imperial guard said, "This humble one has gone to inquire. The commoners have been especially unsuccessful in buying grain in the city today. The grain merchants have raised the price of grain to ten taels of silver per catty."
"Ten taels of silver?" Qin Yining was speechless in shock. She understood after thinking about it!
She had truly underestimated the black heart of the grain merchants. Previously, she thought that the grain merchants would sell their grain at a slightly higher price. Now, it seemed that they actually didn't plan to sell their grain and planned to hoard it as a rare commodity!
"Ten taels of silver is enough to buy a good paddy field. Are the grain merchants crazy! What they are doing is the same as daylight robbery! "
The imperial guard also said angrily, "These unscrupulous merchants are indeed black hearted. Who can afford to eat rice that costs ten taels of silver per catty? Now, there are rumors that the Retired Emperor sold the stored grain and tax grain, emptying the national treasury and internal funds. A large amount of money is missing, and the commoners are all panicking. The commoners feel that they will soon run out of grain, and they can't afford the grain merchants' ten taels of silver per catty of rice. Only then did they think of Daoist. Daoist is the Saintess that the Tian Jizi calculated to be able to protect the country. Daoist is the Xuansu Daoist that was personally conferred by the Emperor. Naturally, you can talk to the gods. Therefore, the commoners want to ask Daoist to ask the gods if their crisis can be resolved. "
Qin Yining frowned as she listened. She felt that her head was about to explode.
How was she a 'Saintess'? In the beginning, she was only forced to give herself a 'protective amulet'. Who knew that things would develop to this point? Not only was she forced to cultivate, but she was also crowned with the exaggerated title of 'Saintess'. She couldn't even resist or decline!
Asking her to ask the gods?
If she could communicate with the gods, would she still be locked in this golden cage?!
Asking her to speak like a flowery lotus and be a divine stick was simply forcing a duck to a perch!
"Young Lady, what do you plan to do?" Ji Yun was a little worried. "This matter is very difficult to handle. Young Lady is the Xuansu Daoist that was personally conferred by the Emperor. If you are unwilling to appear, I'm afraid that you will offend the Emperor. If you appear and say something bad, it will also be bad for your reputation."
