Ziyi took the medicine bottle in Cao Lanlan's hand, played with it carefully, opened the cork, and a strong smell rushed into his nose.
Ziyi had never smelled this smell, let alone described it, only knew that the smell was not good, and he was slightly dizzy after smelling it. Pour out the pill in the bottle and look closely at the sunlight, the pill is red throughout, and through the light, you can faintly see the intricate lines of the hermit inside.
Put the pills back in the bottle and plug the cork. Ziyi continued to ask, "Then did you follow Xu Wanqing and see where she went?" ”
"Absolutely! I followed her all the way to the Fanghua Palace, and then I saw her enter the temple. ”
"And then?"
"And then—and then—" Cao Lanlan stammered suddenly, she lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, and secretly raised her eyes to look at Ziyi.
"Say it! And then what happened?! ”
"Mother."
Outside the door, Bi'er's voice suddenly came.
"What's wrong?" Glaring at Cao Lanlan, Ziyi walked out of the inner room and opened the door.
"Just now, the grandmother outside came to report that she didn't see Xu Wanqing come out in the morning, so she went into her room to check, but found that-" Bi'er paused and continued: "I found that Xu Wanqing was dead." ”
"Dead?!" Bi'er's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the purple clothes that were split couldn't slow down for a long time.
Could it be that what Cao Lanlan gave her just now was poison? Xu Wanqing died of poisoning, so her soul was out of her body?
"Where is the body now, take me to see it."
"Niangniang, the slave has already sent someone to invite the servant, and also asked Xiaolinzi to inform the emperor, Niangniang, you ...... Don't look at it. Bad luck. Bi'er hung her head, her face a little pale.
She just went to see Xu Wanqing's corpse with her grandmother, and it was just miserable!
"It's okay, take me there." Although Ziyi was also a little worried, it was daytime after all, and he was just going to see the corpse.
Anyway, the one who is dead now is also her former "rival in love".
Bi'er didn't say anything more, but led the way ahead. She walked very slowly, and from the residence of Dao Xu Wanqing in the main hall, she actually walked for a stick of incense.
The third-class palace maid was supposed to be five people living in one room, but because of Xu Wanqing's special status, the housekeeper arranged Xu Wanqing alone in this relatively dilapidated room.
Now, outside the courtyard, there were already some people around, and Ziyi saw that Duanmu Xun walked out of the house.
Seeing Ziyi, Duanmu Xun was stunned for a moment, and then strode towards her: "Why are you here?" ”
"I'll take a look, how can this person die in such a good way?"
"Go back and talk about it."
Glancing at Ziyi, Duanmu Xun turned to Xiao Dezi and ordered, "Xiao Dezi, you quickly go and send Prince Qi and Fu Xiang to Ziyao Palace." ”
Inside the Ziyao Palace.
When Duanmu Qi and Fu Ling heard the news that Xu Wanqing was dead, they immediately rushed over.
Now the four of them sat in the temple, but no one spoke.
I saw Duanmu Kaoru bowing his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something, while Ziyi clenched his small hands and kept staring at the door.
"How did Xu Wanqing die?" After a long time, Fuling broke the silence in the house.
"I don't know, I didn't find out." Duanmu Kaoru was the only one here who had seen Xu Wanqing's corpse, and there was a strange hoarseness in his voice.
"What's wrong with you?" Ziyi noticed the abnormality of Duanmu Kaoru's voice and asked worriedly.
