After Li Chen finished disgusting Mrs. Wei, he returned to his princess courtyard accompanied by Liu Xin and the palace maid.

Not long after I returned, I heard a noisy footstep outside the princess's courtyard, as if something big had happened.

Li Chen ran out.

Liu Xin hurriedly chased out, "Little princess." ”

Li Chen saw that many palace maids were going in the direction of Lanting Courtyard, and asked Liu Xin, "Xin Niang, what's the matter?" ”

Liu Xin went out for a while and came back, the expression on her face was a little pale, "Little princess." ”

Li Chen looked at her curiously.

Liu Xin felt as if the blood on her body was frozen, and she murmured to Li Chen: "Little princess, Mrs. Wei Guo has been poisoned and died. ”

Li Chen: "......! ”

Poisoning?

How can it be?

Who would dare to do such a thing under her mother's nose?

Asked Liu Xin to carry her to Lanting Courtyard, Liu Xin was a little hesitant.

Li Chen's face was very unhappy, and he said loudly: "Hold me, go over!" ”

Liu Xin looked at Li Chen, who seemed to be unable to stop for the time being, although she had a headache, she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to carry her to Lanting Courtyard.

When Liu Xin carried Li Chen to Lanting Courtyard, Wu Zetian was already there.

The imperial doctor on the side knelt in front of Wu Zetian, "Her Royal Highness the Empress, Mrs. Wei Guo has been poisoned, this poison is bloody and seals her throat, and it is extremely vicious, even the Daluo Immortal can't go back to God." ”

Wu Zetian looked furious, and asked sharply: "Who is so bold that he dares to commit murder in the harem?" ”

The palace maid who was kneeling on the ground trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "Someone sent a snack to Mrs. Wei Guo, saying that it was sent from Her Royal Highness the Empress's mother's house, and Mrs. Wei Guo tasted two bites, and then fell to the ground and convulsed. ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, he involuntarily took two steps back and walked to the corpse of Mrs. Wei Guo, the expression on his face was both angry and grief-stricken, and two tears fell on the couch, leaving two slightly darker marks on the sheets.

"Helan, it was my aunt who hurt you."

Wu Zetian's voice was very painful, with a little choked.

Just when the Lanting courtyard was in a mess, a shrill voice announced-

"The saint has arrived!"

Li Zhi hurriedly came and saw Mrs. Wei Guo lying lifeless on the bed, and her body shook involuntarily.

"Lord!" Wu Zetian turned his head and looked at Li Zhi with teary eyes.

Li Zhi staggered over and sat down on the bed, "Helan ......" He raised his hand tremblingly and touched his lover's cheek.

This face, last night was still smiling at him so brightly, like a rose blooming in the morning, she was still in this Lanting courtyard last night, singing and dancing for him, the laughter is like a pearl falling on a jade plate, pleasant to the ear.

But now, why has it become a cold corpse?

Wu Zetian suddenly got up and knelt down beside Li Zhi.

Li Zhi hadn't recovered from the death of Mrs. Wei Guo, and he forgot to help Wu Zetian up for a while and looked at her: "Mei Niang? ”

"Lord, concubines are guilty."

Li Zhi looked at her with a blank expression.

The dim sum eaten by Mrs. Wei was sent to the palace by Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun to Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian saw that it was sent by his mother's family, and Mrs. Wei Helan was also a member of the Wu family, and she also sent some to Mrs. Wei, who knew that after Mrs. Wei ate the snack, she was poisoned and died.

The concubine thought that the two cousins were kind, and they were also Helan's uncles, so she thought of sending one to Helan as well, so that she would know that the two uncles were also thinking about her. Who knew that they actually harbored evil intentions and wanted to kill their concubines. ”

"Lord, the concubine was worried that the two brothers and cousin staying in Chang'an would encourage the arrogance of their relatives to interfere in politics, so she asked the lord to assign them to the local assassin history. As long as they are loyal to the Lord, even if they are local assassins, they can still serve the country and leave a name in history. Who knew that the two brothers of the concubine died of illness not long after they arrived in the place, and the two cousins had a grudge against the concubine because of the departure from Chang'an, and later took the death of the two brothers to the concubine. ”

"The concubine was originally kind-hearted, but she never thought that she would harm Helan because of this."

"I implore the Lord to see that Helan is the niece of the concubine, and also for the sake of the relationship with Mrs. Han in the past, and make the decision for Helan."

Li Zhi listened to Wu Zetian's words expressionlessly, and after a while, he stood up, "Mei Niang, get up." ”

Wu Zetian stood up, his expression slightly fixed.

Li Zhi closed his eyes, probably so hurt that he didn't have any expression on his face, but a deep tiredness between his eyebrows.

Li Zhi: "Immediately send someone to arrest Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun and hand them over to the Criminal Department for interrogation." As he spoke, his body shook slightly, and Wu Zetian hurriedly helped him, "Lord." ”

Li Zhi waved his hand to stop her, "I'm fine." Send someone to inform Helan Toshizhi and let him enter the palace to see his sister. "Helan Minzhi is the elder brother of Helan, the wife of Wei.

Li Chen looked at his parents, and then at Mrs. Wei who was lying motionless on the bed, and finally realized that Mrs. Wei Guo, who was still alive and almost wanted to fight with her before, had become a cold corpse. She looked at her mother with wide eyes.

At this time, Wu Zetian finally found out that Li Chen was also there.

"Yongchang?" Wu Zetian's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Liu Xin with a sharp gaze.

Liu Xin lowered her head and muttered that she didn't know what to say.

"Auntie, what's wrong with Sister Helan?" Li Chen asked.

Wu Zetian's face turned a little pale, raised his hand and touched Li Chen's cheek lovingly, and said softly: "Sister Helan is going to the South China Sea to worship Guanyin, Yongchang is good, go back first." After finishing speaking, his eyes looked at Liu Xin sternly, "Why don't you hurry up and take the little princess back." ”

Liu Xin lowered her head and hurriedly hugged Li Chen back.

Crossing Liu Xin's shoulder, Li Chen saw his father standing in front of Mrs. Wei's bed, a little lost and didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Chen had a dream.

In her dream, she wanted to leave Chang'an and leave the Tang Dynasty, and when she was leaving, she saw her father Li Zhi standing on the steps in front of Qingning Palace, looking sad, "Yongchang, don't you want your mother, and don't you want your father?" ”

But at the other end, her other mother lay in front of her father's hospital bed, crying so much that her heart and intestines were broken.

That's her mother, and her father.

Her tears fell in her eyes.

Liu Xin, who was guarding by the side, saw that her forehead was full of beads of sweat the size of beans, and her expression couldn't hide her worry, so she took a handkerchief to help her wipe the sweat beads, and called softly: "Little princess? ”

Li Chen opened his eyes suddenly and grabbed Liu Xin's hand. She had dreamed that dream many times, and none of them were as real as today, but the warmth in her hands reminded her that this was reality.

Liu Xin asked in confusion, "What's wrong with the little princess?" ”

Li Chen looked at the furniture in the room with a confused expression, "I want to leave, don't I know what to do?" ”

The palace ladies looked at each other.

A palace maid asked a little frightened: "Xin Niang, could the little princess be evil?" ”

Liu Xin glanced at Li Chen, only to see that her face was pale, and beads of sweat were constantly oozing from her forehead.

"Little princess, are you having a nightmare?"

Li Chen frowned, only feeling that his body was cold and wet for a while, thinking of his parents in his dream for a while, and thinking of the bleeding appearance of Mrs. Wei Guo for a while.

She felt very uncomfortable and a little out of breath, she opened her hands to Liu Xin to hug, "Xinniang, carry me back." ”

Liu Xin hugged her and felt that her body was unusually hot.

The palace maid looked at Li Chen's appearance, and couldn't help but say again: "Xinniang, maybe the little princess is really evil, what should I do?" ”

Liu Xin glared at her fiercely, "Shut up, the little princess has a fever, why don't you hurry up and ask the imperial doctor!" ”
