Chapter 185: Killing
What a bad omen for the phoenix to land. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe crowd looked at each other, and the words of discussion were all in each other's eyes.
Li Chengqi on the steps was slightly stunned, and looked at the broken silk thread anxiously. Seeing that the tiny silk thread had been deliberately cut in half, a cold light flashed in his eyes. After Shen Yan saw it, she immediately frowned, and her eyes fell on Wei Min.
Wei Min was startled, and when she met Li Chengqi's cold questioning gaze again, her feet were even more soft, and she couldn't help but stumble for a moment - she knew that she was suspected of being the initiator!
Soon, Li Chengqi asked people to get another phoenix robe and asked Shen Yan to change his clothes. Right now, they have climbed the stairs of the Dragon and Phoenix Terrace, and it is impossible to go down further. They can only advance, not retreat.
"It doesn't matter." After comforting Shen Yan, he took her back and continued to take steps as if nothing had happened. And his gaze was solemn. He knew that after the canonization ceremony, his Yan'er would fall into unbearable public opinion again. It was a situation he didn't want to see. He was only afraid that such a disturbance would eventually make his Yan'er escape.
As everyone knows, Shen Yan has another plan in her heart. After a while, she changed into the phoenix robe brought by the palace people and continued the canonization ceremony.
The canonization ceremony was finally held in a grand manner.
Li Chengqi personally put on a phoenix crown for Shen Yan, and officially announced that Shen Yan was the queen of the West Palace after the worship of the civil and military officials, and awarded her an edict, so that the name of the queen of the West Palace will forever be recorded in history.
Li Chengqi's majesty and Shen Yan's nobility once made everyone forget the episode that happened in front of them. However, when leaving Longfengtai, another accident happened. Shen Yan accidentally stepped on the fallen beads used to inlay the golden phoenix. One stumbled down the steps, elbows and knees. I was bruised in many places and was in pain. Fortunately, Li Chengqi caught Shen Yan in time. so that she would not be allowed to roll down the steps.
The meaning of surprise and sighing, the meaning of schadenfreude, and the meaning of anxiety appeared on different people's faces in an instant.
"Is it a big deal?" Li Chengqi looked at Shen Yan with surprise and pity, and he could only care for her. In normal times, he would have called the Imperial Doctor to come and treat him immediately, but now he has to take care of the consequences, and he can't let things get bigger. Naturally, this situation made him feel helpless, and the feeling of helplessness made him hate the person who deliberately damaged Shen Yanfeng's robe.
Shen Yan struggled to endure the pain in her body. He shook his head at Li Chengqi and said, "I'm fine." She stood up and stuck down the aisle. In order to avoid showing off in front of everyone again, she walked carefully.
Seeing her hardship, Li Chengqi finally felt a little unbearable, "Yan'er, don't force it, if it really hurts badly, I can announce that I will re-enter this canonization ceremony on a later date." ”
"How can I let the world see my jokes like this?" Shen Yan smiled sideways, only complaining that she was careless and not down-to-earth.
But. It was such a mistake that this day was still brilliant, glorious and enviable. Everyone in the world knows more clearly that their Queen of the West Palace. What a honor. Of course, this day is also tiring for Shen Yan. Until mid-afternoon. She just returned to the palace.
The first thing Li Chengqi did when he returned to the palace was to ask the imperial doctor to treat the wounds on Shen Yan's body. Seeing Shen Yan's pale face. He was afraid that she would have other physical discomforts, so he asked the imperial doctor to check her pulse.
When diagnosing the pulse. Shen Yan saw the expression of the sharp-beaked monkey cheek in front of him, who was called by Li Chengqi as Imperial Doctor Wu, from surprise to calm, and the fingers he put on Shen Yan's wrist also trembled unusually.
"How? Is there anything wrong with the queen's health? Li Chengqi didn't listen to Imperial Doctor Wu for a long time, and he was a little anxious.
Imperial Physician Wu hurriedly got up and replied respectfully: "The emperor relaxes, the mother is just overworked, and it will be okay to rest and rest." As for the fall on the mother's body, apply some ointment and be fine. ”
When he said this, Li Chengqi was relieved. But Shen Yan clearly saw that there was something hidden in his eyes when he peeked at him. He must be hiding something, right? With such speculation, Shen Yan found an excuse and broke away from Li Chengqi after a while.
After Li Chengqi left, Imperial Doctor Wu, who was left behind, suddenly had a thief's smile on his face. Reflexively, he bowed to Shen Yan and honored her with a "mother". Without waiting for her to ask, he told her on his own: "Niangniang seems to be happy." ”
Shen Yan was startled and unconsciously stood up from the soft collapse. She looked at Imperial Physician Wu tightly, and said in her heart that if she was really pregnant, the child would be An Yangping's, which can be counted as days, the day she and An Yang had parallel beds, only half a month ago, how could this Imperial Physician Wu dare to judge that she was pregnant? After thinking about it, she couldn't help but sneer, and then said coldly: "Imperial Doctor Wu, how can you talk nonsense?" ”
"It's not micro-minister's nonsense." Imperial Physician Wu said unhurriedly, "According to Weichen, Niangniang is indeed happy." If the mother doesn't believe it, let's see if the menstrual event will come as scheduled in a few days. ”
Shen Yan finally calmed down from her astonishment. She slowly sat back down on the soft floor and took a slow peck on the tea. After a long time, she didn't look at Imperial Doctor Wu angrily, "Then you can tell me how long it has been a happy event in this palace." ”
"Wechen didn't dare to say the exact day, Wechen could only tell Niangniang that this happy event would be at least ten days up." What he meant was that Shen Yan was pregnant in her belly, not the emperor's species. After all, it has only been eight days since she entered the palace. How could the happy event of the Ten Heavenly Dynasty be made by the emperor?
"You talk nonsense!" Shen Yan's words suddenly became stern. In her expression, she also showed a little fierceness. "No matter how good the doctor is, he must wait for the pregnant person to be pregnant for more than a month before he can take the pulse, what kind of ability do you have to be one step ahead of others?"
"Niangniang doesn't know, as a doctor, Weichen also has some research on metaphysics." Doctor Wu explained. He also said: "The right person is the right person to diagnose the pulse of the mother, but I feel that the purple gas in the mother's body is compelling, and it is a guess that the mother is pregnant with Liujia, and if the child can be successfully raised, it must be unspeakably expensive." ”
"It's ridiculous!" Ren didn't believe it in her heart, Shen Yan regarded it as nonsense, and soon she asked: "Say, who instructed you?" ”
"Niangniang Mingjian," Imperial Physician Wu was not in a hurry, "If Weichen is instructed to talk nonsense in front of Niangniang, won't Weichen tell the truth when the emperor is here?" ”
Shen Yan was silent for a moment. "Then what is your purpose in hiding it from the emperor?" She didn't care whether what he said was nonsense or whether he was instructed to do so, she just asked him bluntly, "What do you want from this palace?" Gold, silver, jewelry, or splendid career?
Imperial Physician Wu's mouth was already smiling. He bowed his head and buried himself, and could not hide his thief, his cheapness, and his meanness. He said solemnly: "Niangniang, Weichen only wishes to be able to share difficulties with Niangniang, be blessed, and share them together." When it comes to the word "Fu", he drags out the syllables, which will be what he likes the most.
He must not have noticed that when he said this, a smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and after collecting this smile, he pulled off his hairpin.
"A good one is in trouble and enjoys happiness." Shen Yan got up, moved to Imperial Physician Wu, and asked him one last time: "Is this palace really pregnant, Imperial Physician Wu?" Her words were almost gentle.
Imperial Physician Wu didn't notice her abnormality at all, and replied respectfully and expectantly: "Weichen is very sure, Niangniang is happy...... Yes! A muffled sound spilled out of his throat as his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. It's just that Shen Yan used no more force, and he couldn't even pronounce a syllable, only blood slowly slid down his neck.
The moment Shen Yan pulled out his hairpin, his blood gushed out even more, staining the ground. His man, frightened, because of the imminence of death, collapsed to the ground in a short time. He looked at the Empress of the West Palace standing in front of him incredulously, there were a lot of grievances, a lot of resentment, but he couldn't say it, he could only stretch out his hand with difficulty, pointing at her, like a weak persecuted woman, pointing at the person who hurt her so badly before she died, and cursed wordlessly: You can't die well!
Looking at his dying and struggling appearance, Shen Yan clenched the blood-stained hairpin, and after shuddering, she was relaxed, as if she was used to killing people.
Before his pupils were at their maximum, she told him: "Don't complain about this palace, only complain, it's you who came to see this palace." You can rest assured that Hongu will treat your family well. ”
Imperial Physician Wu didn't blink an eye, Shen Yan squatted down and reached out to help him close his eyes.
Outside, Su You's voice sounded: "Niangniang, is there anything you need for slaves?" Outside the door, he faintly heard some strange noises coming from the house, and after thinking about it, he asked.
Shen Yan raised her eyes, looked at Gao Men, and said expressionlessly: "Go and invite the emperor to come up." ”
She killed Imperial Physician Wu, how could she explain it to Li Chengqi? Standing next to Imperial Physician Wu's corpse, she racked her brains and didn't think of a good reason. She only knew that Li Chengqi was something she had to face. In the entire West Palace, except for Cui Mama and Xiyu, there is no one who is only loyal to her, she has no way to execute Imperial Physician Wu's corpse with the help of two women, that is, to execute his corpse, she doesn't think that with her strength alone, she can hide the death of Imperial Physician Wu from herself. Therefore, she must face Li Chengqi naked.
Perhaps, the best way to face Li Chengqi is not to give any explanation.
Thinking of this, Shen Yan quietly sat back on the soft couch. However, reaching out to pick up the teacup, she found that she was still holding the murder weapon in her hand. Until this moment, she knew that her heart was not as calm as it appeared to be. But she didn't drop the murder weapon, and after thinking about it, she got up from the soft couch, walked to the side of Imperial Doctor Wu's corpse, and sat down next to his corpse, brewing a frightened and overwhelmed posture.
About a quarter of an hour passed, and Li Chengqi finally came.
With a "squeak", the door of the temple was pushed open, and a large amount of sunlight poured into the room, illuminating the woman's face pale and the blood on the ground and scarlet. (To be continued.) )
