The daughter of the first wife is a black lotus, reborn and remarried to kill

*

Li Qingqian didn't expect that the place Li Zhengkang wanted to take her to was the imperial palace.

The Li Mansion's carriage could only stop outside the palace gate, so after Li Zhengkang stepped forward and handed the token to the Yulin Guards guarding the gate, Li Qingqian was helped by Yunyi to get off the carriage and followed Li Zhengkang closely.

As Li Zhengkang walked forward, he whispered to her, "This is in the palace. Be careful in what you say and do. Don't make any mistakes. Do you understand?"

But all he got was Li Qingqian's indifferent response: "Got it."

Li Zhengkang was a little surprised. He turned around and found that his daughter was walking forward gracefully and elegantly, as if she was walking in her own territory.

Although he was pleased with Li Qingqian's neither humble nor arrogant demeanor, which made him proud, he could not show it on his face.

He whispered in displeasure: "Why are you walking so arrogantly? Lower your head and don't let anyone see your face!"

Li Qingqian came back to her senses after his reminder and was a little speechless about herself. She was used to walking like this in the palace and it would take her a while to change it.

She acted like an ordinary lady, lowering her head, slightly bending her body, and following behind Li Zhengkang.

The palace servant who led them stopped in front of a remote palace, turned around and bowed to them, "Prime Minister Li, this is the place where His Majesty ordered General Li to recuperate. This matter came suddenly, and it is getting late today. After you and your daughter have finished visiting, please do not stay in the palace and go back early."

"Thank you, young eunuch, for leading the way." Li Zhengkang also bowed to him and walked in with Li Qingqian.

Li Qingqian was anxious and quickened her pace, even walking a little ahead of Li Zhengkang.

At this moment, Li Zhengkang was also thinking about his son who had brought back both merits and injuries, so he didn't argue with her too much about this matter.

After entering the cabinet, he found that there were not only the unconscious Li Xi and the palace servants serving him in the room, but also several people sitting outside the screen.

There is the current Crown Prince, her second brother Li Zhen, and her fiancé Shen Changyun.

Li Qingqian was very worried just now, but when she saw the person squatting beside the bed behind the screen and taking Li Xi's pulse, she immediately felt relieved.

That's An Ning.

The moment he saw her, Li Zhen's eyes were slightly red and a little wet, and his lips trembled a few times before he slowly said, "A Qian, long time no see."

Li Qingqian's eyes were red with tears. He nodded, "Second brother, Ah Qian is really back."

The prince was a gentle and polite man. He also knew that the state affairs had already been discussed with Shen Changyun and Li Zhen, and now it was their family affairs.

He cleared his throat and said, "My father just summoned me in a hurry. It's getting late now. I think the Crown Princess is also worried right now. I will go back to see her. Prime Minister Li, Miss Li San, goodbye."

Several people saluted as he left, "Farewell, Your Highness."

The moment Li Qingqian raised her head, she felt a little complicated.

In his previous life, he devoted himself to helping Jiang Lin ascend the throne, and he also designed to alienate the relationship between the Crown Prince and His Majesty.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess originally disdained those who fought openly and secretly. Li Qingqian knew that she was not a good person. At this moment, facing the Crown Prince who was as gentle as the breeze and the bright moon, she felt extremely guilty. At the same time, she kept thinking about how to make up for the mistakes she made in her previous life.

Before she could come up with a solution, Song Ningyan had already finished taking the patient's pulse and came in front of everyone.

Li Zhen couldn't wait to ask, "Second Miss, how is my brother?"

Li Zhengkang and his daughter Li Qingqian also looked at Song Ningyan with the same anxious expression.

Shen Changyun stood silently beside Li Qingqian, always paying attention to her reaction.

Song Ningyan sighed softly and looked at Li Qingqian with a complicated expression, "Qian, can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Seeing her serious expression, Li Qingqian was shocked. His body swayed uncontrollably, his legs went weak, and he almost fell down.

Shen Changyun was quick to support her and said with a distressed look in his eyes, "Qianqian, why don't I go with you?"

Li Zhengkang also stepped forward with concern and asked, "Ah Qian, is everything okay?"

Judging from the current situation, Li Xi is probably useless. He has already lost a child, and he cannot lose another one!

Especially Li Qingqian, who is about to marry into the Duke's Mansion.

Li Qingqian quickly calmed down. An Ning must have a lot of instructions this time, which would probably take a long time to tell, and the three of them were all strangers to her.

Although Dawei was not as strict about women's chastity as the previous dynasty, Aning was still an unmarried girl. Whether it was because she had been uncomfortable talking to men alone since she was a child, or because she had to maintain her identity as the second lady of Ding'an Marquis' Mansion, she could not stay with them for too long.

I have to go by myself. Only in this way can I conceal the changes in An Ning and reassure the people around her - she is not possessed by a demon, she just has her own thoughts, and the abnormal behavior she exhibits is just to protect herself like a ferocious little beast.

Li Qingqian regained her composure and said, "I'm fine, An Ning, I'll go with you."

Song Ningyan took her to the ear room.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Qingqian couldn't help but ask: "A Ning, my elder brother..."

"I can cure your brother." After saying this, Song Ningyan sat down at the desk and wrote the medical prescription without raising her head.

Seeing that she was still frowning, Li Qingqian understood that even if the disease could be cured, it would be complicated and difficult to cure.

So he sat quietly aside, and although he was anxious, he did not go forward to disturb her.

Song Ningyan wrote down several pages of prescriptions and walked up to her. "Your elder brother was injured in the knee and calf. It seems that a strange poison has entered the wound. It is difficult for ordinary doctors to treat it."

"But you can be cured, right?" Li Qingqian looked at her with hope, mentally prepared that Song Ningyan might deny it.

But the other party smiled slightly, handed the prescription in his hand to her, and said: "It is difficult for ordinary doctors to treat, but I am not an ordinary doctor. Don't worry, although your brother's disease is complicated to treat, it is not difficult."

"Then what did you do just now..." Li Qingqian pointed in the direction of the main house and asked puzzledly.

"That's because your second brother was there, so I acted like that on purpose," Song Ningyan shrugged unnaturally and sat down next to her. "A Qian, do you still remember how we met?"

Li Qingqian, who was still wondering why Song Ningyan behaved like this in front of her second brother, was aroused by the other party's sudden words.

"I remember the first time I left the house when I was seven years old. I was tricked by Li Shuyue. I was young and ignorant at that time, and I couldn't protect myself. I didn't know the way home, and I didn't know how to get home until it got dark. Later, in order to avoid being kidnapped by human traffickers, I hid under the bridge of the moat, and that's when I saw you for the first time."

"Well, I was only six years old that year, and my mother passed away that year," Song Ningyan raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, "In order to give my eldest sister the status of a legitimate daughter, my father even conspired with her biological mother to throw me out of the house and then lied that I was dead."

Li Qingqian listened quietly, her brows slightly furrowed. These were things she had never told her before.

"In fact, that day, my father had the servants in the mansion beat me up and then threw me outside in the ice and snow," Song Ningyan turned her head to look outside the tightly closed door and pointed her finger, "Just like this winter day. This is the reason why I got sick a few years ago."

"When you found me, I was almost dead, with only one breath left," she smiled and held Li Qingqian's hand. "You were also very thin at that time, but when you saw me like a little beggar, you didn't show any disgust at all. You panted and gathered up all your strength to carry me to the clinic. You even pawned the few jewelry you had on you to buy money for my medical treatment. If you hadn't brought me back to the Li Mansion later, no one would have recognized me as the daughter of the Ding'an Marquis Mansion."

When she said this, she choked up a little. "You saved my life for me. I have no way to repay you for saving my life. So whether it's your grandmother or your brother, I will heal them even if it costs me my life."

Li Qingqian's eyes were moist and he held her hand back, "A Ning, thank you."

She lowered her head. It seemed that there was no need for her to get to the bottom of the bottle of medicine that smelled like blood.

At an angle that she couldn't see, Song Ningyan's eyes moved slightly.

What she didn't tell Li Qingqian was that she had actually brought Song Ningyan to the clinic in time, and her illnesses had been almost cured. However, after she was taken back to the Ding'an Marquis Mansion that year, her father shamelessly said that it was because she ran away on her own and the servants didn't stop her.

It is also a pity that Song Ningyan was lonely, helpless, powerless and was bullied in the mansion but was unable to resist.

It is enough to just say this. She knows that although A Qian is cold-hearted and cold-blooded towards outsiders, she is most likely to be soft-hearted towards those close to her.

She didn't want the other party to have to feel guilty about being "powerless". Now it seemed that the other party would not be suspicious of her anymore.
