Chapter 229: Corpse
Leng Yexuan's face was already a little bad. On such a big New Year's Day, anyone who sees a large pool of blood will not be in a good mood.
Moreover, looking at Er Lan's slurring appearance, coupled with the two words she just said, Leng Yexuan's cheeks, which were already like sinking water, were even more cold at the moment.
"Who do you say?" I saw Leng Yexuan frowning, his voice was sharp and abrupt, and he stared at Er Lan tightly, for fear that he would miss any expression on her face.
"If you go back to the emperor, it's smoke." When Er Lan heard Leng Yexuan's question, she couldn't help but tremble, but she just thought that she couldn't hide it left and right, so she said everything she could. "The smoke that the slave found early this morning has not yet had time to report to the queen."
Because Er Lan told a lie, he didn't dare to look up at Leng Yexuan. Fortunately, Leng Yexuan's current thoughts were all on the body of the woman lying on the ground, and he didn't notice it.
Lu Feiyan noticed it, but she still didn't understand what was going on. It stands to reason that a palace maid died in Qifeng Palace, which really makes people feel a little uncomfortable. However, this matter could not have been done by Xia Nishang, why did she get angry because of the death of a little palace maid.
The most interesting thing is what Leng Yexuan looks like now. When Lu Feiyan found that Leng Yexuan heard that it was smoke, the whole person was stunned, and looked at the [one^book^read^novel] on the ground in a daze[.[ yb][du].] There was a trail of blood, and he didn't speak for a long time.
However, Lu Feiyan thought about it carefully, and she didn't know the woman on the ground at all. It stands to reason that if it is in Qifeng Palace, most of the people who often walk around Xia Nishang have met her.
And this has never been in contact with her, but Leng Yexuan knows her, which is really a little puzzling.
"Your Majesty?" Lu Feiyan stood for a while, but Leng Yexuan still didn't make any moves, she only felt that her hands and feet were frozen and painful, so she opened her mouth gently, trying to make Leng Yexuan notice her.
"What's wrong?" Leng Yexuan really didn't seem to remember that there were so many people standing around him, and when he heard Lu Feiyan's voice, he turned around. But he didn't want to, and saw a group of people standing behind him, bowing their heads one by one, looking very afraid.
"Your Majesty, do you have to deal with it first, and besides, the queen mother is still in the house now." Lu Feiyan's words were a little vague. On the one hand, she pointed out that it was not good for the woman to lie here like this, after all, and on the other hand, she reminded Leng Yexuan that now Xia Nishang had a tire gas.
However, after seeing such a scene, no one would think that Xia Nishang's tire gas had nothing to do with this matter.
Lu Feiyan couldn't help but close the stove in his hand, which made him feel more comfortable. She always had the right smile on her face, but in Er Lan's eyes, she felt unusually dazzling and hypocritical.
"Come on, let's get her away first, so as not to be an eyesore here." Leng Yexuan waved his hand behind him, and soon some guards stepped forward to carry away Yan'er's corpse. "Find someone to come over and find out the cause of her death."
Actually, there is nothing to check at all. Yan'er's lower abdomen is still with that dagger inserted into it, and there is no need to guess that he must have died of excessive blood loss.
However, Leng Yexuan still let people check one or two when he knew it, and he couldn't ignore this kind of thought.
Er Lan only felt a coldness in his heart, looking at Leng Yexuan's attitude, it seemed that he wanted to study deeply. However, Yan'er's death is not clear to anyone. Now her body was found in the backyard of Qifeng Palace, but I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
Just when Er Lan was anxious, Leng Yexuan's voice came again.
"I'm going to see the Queen." After finishing speaking, Leng Yexuan took steps and went to Xia Nishang's bedroom. And behind him, Lu Feiyan also followed step by step.
Er Lan felt that Leng Yexuan's voice did not have the touch of concern that he had when he first came in.
Entering the dormitory, Xia Nishang was still asleep, without the slightest intention of waking up. Er Lan looked at the bed with some embarrassment, and then at Leng Yexuan, muttering that she didn't know what to say.
"Since the queen is asleep, I won't bother." Just when Er Lan was struggling with whether to step forward to wake up Xia Nishang, Leng Yexuan spoke again. "Take good care of the queen, if something goes wrong, I am the only one who asks!"
"The emperor can rest assured, the slave will take good care of the queen." Er Lan and Ran Tian glanced at each other, squatted down together, and said reassuringly.
"Well, you just said that you haven't had time to tell the queen about this?" Leng Yexuan pointed at Er Lan and asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Before the slave could say anything, the queen's body was uncomfortable. Er Lan didn't know why Leng Yexuan would suddenly ask her this question. However, she had already said it just now, and even if she wanted to change her words now, she couldn't, so she just said it head-on.
"In that case, then there is no need to tell the queen, she is not in good health, and you should not bother her with these troubles." Leng Yexuan's tone was relaxed, as if he was just talking about today's weather.
However, Er Lan was in her heart, and Leng Yexuan was warning her. Warn her what to say and what not to say. However, don't say that Xia Nishang already knows about this, even if she doesn't know, if she doesn't say it, someone else will still tell her.
What was Leng Yexuan's purpose in doing this, Er Lan felt that he was a little confused.
However, no matter what she thought in her heart, her face was not revealed at all. Instead, he lowered his head and spoke respectfully to Leng Yexuan.
"The emperor can rest assured, the slaves and maids will obey the emperor's orders."
Leng Yexuan got her assurance, so he nodded, turned around again, and said to Lu Feiyan behind him. "The queen is not in good health, you can go back with me."
After speaking, Leng Yexuan didn't even glance at Lu Feiyan, and walked straight to the door.
Lu Feiyan behind him bit his lip, and looked at Xia Nishang who was sleeping on the bed again, and a smile of unknown meaning rose on the corner of his mouth.
After Leng Yexuan and Lu Feiyan left, Ran Tian went to the back to boil medicine for Xia Nisheng. Since the last licorice, Xia Nisheng's food and everything has always been handled by a few of them, especially in a special period like this, where do you dare to take it lightly.
Xia Nishang didn't know if it was because she hadn't slept well, so she slept directly into the sunset. Looking at the patches of glow outside, Er Lan was in a trance.
She was afraid that Xia Nishang would suddenly wake up and not see anyone, so she was embroidering flowers while staying by her side. This time I stayed for a day without moving.
Er Lan couldn't help but shake her somewhat sour neck, only to feel that her whole body was stiff, and she wanted to move but couldn't.
Er Lan lightly put down the embroidery shed in his hand, and slowly stood up, his legs were still a little numb, and he could only move slowly. However, she heard a small cough coming from the bed.
"Mother, are you awake?" Er Lan listened to that voice, where could he still take care of the discomfort of his body, so he rushed up with an arrow step, stood beside the bed, and asked softly.
In fact, even if Xia Nishang didn't wake up, she was going to wake her up. This kind of sleep is a day, although pregnant women are sleepy, but after all, you can't sleep this way.
Moreover, Xia Nishang has not eaten water and rice since the morning, and the child in her belly can't stand it if she goes on like this.
"Erlan?" Xia Nishang heard the voice, and then opened her eyes, but she was still a little confused. After a long time, it slowly focused on Er Lan's face.
"Mother, but are you hungry? Do you want the slave to go and eat now? Er Lan's face suddenly brought a touch of surprise. Looking at Xia Nishang's face, it was already a little ruddy. Maybe it's because I haven't rested well before, so I'm always a little pale.
As Er Lan spoke, she took a bright yellow pillow embroidered with flowers and butterflies and put it behind Xia Nishang, which gently helped her up.
"Let's pour a glass of water for Hongu first." Xia Nishang coughed lightly, only to feel that her voice was a little hoarse and uncomfortable, and her mouth was also thirsty.
When Er Lan heard this, she hurriedly went to the table in front of her, poured a cup of warm red date tea for Xia Nishang, and served Xia Nishang to drink it.
Since Xia Nishang was pregnant, they didn't drink tea in the Qifeng Palace. Those teas are refreshing and uplifting, but after all, they are not good for the children in the belly. And this jujube tea, said to be tea, is actually made of red dates and wolfberries, which is the most refreshing and pleasant.
Moreover, red dates can replenish qi and blood, and wolfberry is a good medicinal material for nourishing the spirit, which is an excellent thing for pregnant women.
Xia Nishang took Er Lan's hand and drank most of the water, only to feel much better. And the head that was a little muddy because of sleeping before was gradually sobered up.
"How's she going?" As soon as Xia Nishang opened her mouth, she asked Er Lan such words, but her eyes were staring at her, not allowing Er Lan to escape anything.
Er Lan sighed softly, she knew that the queen mother woke up and must have asked, but the emperor didn't let her say. Er Lan was a little worried, Xia Nishang's appearance in the morning really frightened her, and she didn't know what she should do.
"Niangniang, the emperor said that he would deal with this matter, you are not well, you have to rest well." Er Lan didn't know how to answer, so he could only carry Leng Yexuan out.
