"Okay, don't make any noise, if my sister is willing to wait, then wait, I'll go back and rest first, my body can't bear it, Hongling, take care of my sister, take a cloak and put it on, be careful of catching a cold...... I'll quit first......" Joan said, saluting, turning and entering.

Seeing Ruo'an and Ziyan walking away, Hongling dared to speak: "Look at them, ...... so arrogant"

"Okay, let's not say a word, she looks really tired, it's come to this point, the prince must not come back, let's go back too......" Princess Yuning said, and also turned around and walked back, Hongling pouted, helplessly following behind, as if she was very dissatisfied with Princess Yuning's obedience to Ruo'an's words.

This night of sleep was very heavy, Ruoan seemed to feel like a heavy object in his body fell on him, even lying in bed, he felt very tired......

Leng Chen didn't come back until the next night, Ruo'an was going to sleep, but as soon as he lay down, Leng Chen pushed the door and entered.

"Did you sleep?" Leng Chen asked softly.

Ruoan sat up and shook his head: "Not yet, why did you come back?" Tired, right? ”

Leng Chen nodded, sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and took Ruo'an's hand, and smiled tiredly.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Ruo asked as he soothed his shoulder.

"I'm going to ...... out"

"Huh? Where to? What do you have to do in person? Joan was curious.

Leng Chen sighed lightly: "Go to Sheng Zi's hometown...... His village ......"

"The village where Voodoo was entrenched before? Haven't Huo Lin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already gone down? Why do you want to go there yourself? Ruoan was puzzled.

Leng Chen smiled bitterly: "The corpse is seriously damaged and not easy to carry. I had to go there myself......"

"Wait...... Corpses? What corpse? What's going on? ”

“…… Do you remember the sacrificial scene that Sheng Zi depicted? The woman who was burned by fire and then drowned by water? ”

Ruo'an nodded, she naturally remembered. Such a terrifying picture, how could she forget.

"Could it be...... Was she found? ”

Leng Chen nodded: "That's right, it was indeed found, but it was found on the river far from the village, the body was seriously damaged, and it was soaked in the water for a long time, and it was no longer human......"

"Uh...... "Ruo'an thinks that scene is terrifying enough just thinking about it. I just don't understand why Leng Chen insisted on going there in person.

As if to see Ruo'an's thoughts, Leng Chen continued: "The villagers who found the corpse felt ominous. I wanted to bury the matter hastily, but the things she was carrying were remembered by the thieves, and they were stolen and sold in the market, and they happened to be discovered by Huo Lin who was passing by. I can see that it is greasy. Only then did he pick it up, and only after questioning did he find the body......"

"What did the man steal?" Ruoan asked, faintly uneasy in her heart.

"This ......" Leng Chen said and took out a piece of jade pendant from his waist, the whole body was turquoise, very dazzling, but the rope spike on it was pitch black, and it was impossible to tell whether it was sludge or blood......

Leng Chen rubbed the jade pendant with a solemn expression. Joan leaned over and asked, "Is this ...... Be? ”

"This is a royal jade pendant...... It's Princess Yizhen's ......"

When Ruo'an heard the word Yizhen, he gasped a few times in shock......

"How can the prince be sure...... This jade pendant is Princess Yizhen's...... I mean...... There are so many jade pendants in the palace......" Ruoan asked.

Leng Chen shook his head. I took out another piece from my waist, and the color and texture were the same as the one in my hand, but the style changed slightly.

"Leng Yang still has a ...... These three pieces are made from the same piece of jade...... At that time, the envoys of the vassal countries came to pay tribute, and the father was very happy to see it, so he made the jade material into a jade pendant...... At the beginning, Siyi was still young, and the jade material was only enough to make three pieces, so she only rewarded us with a few older children, and Siyi cried for several days because of this incident...... So I'm very impressed with this event, and I can't be mistaken......"

Ruo'an stretched out his hand to take the two jade pendants, looked at them carefully, and sure enough, the texture, texture, and even transparency were very close, obviously belonging to the same piece of jade......

But Ruo'an couldn't believe that this jade pendant belonged to Princess Yizhen, in other words, what Ruo'an didn't want to believe was that Princess Yizhen had an accident......

She should have hid in the Thousand Mountains......

She was so familiar with the terrain of a thousand mountains, and she had saved her own life, how could she appear so far away from a thousand mountains? And killed? She couldn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe it......

"Is there any other evidence to conclude that it is Princess Yizhen?" Ruoan asked anxiously.

Leng Chen shook his head: "The body was burned by fire and soaked in water...... Unrecognizable, unrecognizable......"

"Then how can you prove that it is Princess Yizhen?!" Ruo'an was in a hurry, and his tone sharpened.

Leng Chen was stunned: "What's wrong with you?" So excited? ”

"Uh...... I...... I'm just, Princess Yizhen has been missing for so long and there is no news, and now it is too hasty to judge that she was killed based on just a piece of jade pendant...... I mean, it's possible that the jade pendant was stolen...... Or maybe she'll take it...... Or...... In short, it doesn't have to be Princess Yizhen? ”

Ruo'an spoke incoherently, her voice choked and emotional.

Leng Chen took her into his arms and comforted her softly: "I know you're worried about me...... Although I have never seen Condensation, you know the relationship between me and Sister Condensation, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it, so I will be so worried...... Actually, after such a long time, my heart is already very calm, and I have long been prepared for the worst, so even if it is true this time, I must be able to accept it......"

Ruo'an was speechless, not knowing how to answer, she had seen condensation, and she had saved her life......

It's just that she repeatedly begged not to tell Leng Chen the news that she was still alive......

If Ruo'an hadn't listened to her and told Princess Leng Chen Yizhen the news that she was still alive in time, then she should be fine now, at least she would be safe......

Ruoan shook her head desperately, unwilling to admit that the woman was Princess Condensation, she broke free of Leng Chen's embrace and asked eagerly, "When are you leaving?" ”

"Well, I'll leave as soon as dawn, and I'll come back to tell you......"

"I'll go with you!" Ruo'an said categorically, Leng Chen was stunned: "What are you going to do?" You better not watch such a miserable scene, lest you have a restless sleep in the future......"

"I'm not afraid of those ...... I want to go with you, so take me with you! Joan pleaded.

Leng Chen shook his head: "No, I can't let you go with me to see that kind of ...... Scene, no, no, no......"

"I'm not afraid...... I'm really not afraid, you can take me there...... I want to accompany you......" Joan continued to plead.

Leng Chen hesitated a little: "What's wrong with you today?" ”

"It's okay...... I...... I'm fine......" Joan smiled awkwardly.

"There have been too many things happening recently, Yu Ning has been injured, Siyi has made a fuss, and Grandma Huang has fallen ill again...... I don't want you to follow you to see such a bloody scene, not because I don't want you to go along, but because I'm afraid that you will go, and I won't have time to take care of you...... Although the journey is not far, I don't want you to be affected by it......" Leng Chen said and stroked Ruo'an's cheek, and persuaded with pity on his face, Ruo'an was a little choked, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it.

"I promise you...... Come back soon, just to confirm the identity of the corpse, it won't be delayed for a long time, you just stay in the house and help me take care of this home, okay? Leng Chen pressed against Ruo'an's forehead and persuaded softly.

Ruo'an's heart was twisted together, and there was a stone in his heart, and he couldn't go up or down, so he choked on his chest, making Ruo'an breathless.

"Obedient, help me share the burden, okay?" Leng Chen said and drank on Ruo'an's lips, Ruo'an was powerless to refute, threw herself into Leng Chen's arms, and hugged him tightly.

Leng Chen was a little surprised, but instead smiled: "Good ...... Let's rest, it's not too early......" said as he lifted the futon and lay down with Ruo'an in his arms.

Where did Ruo'an feel sleepy, her mind was full of condensation, and she couldn't stop praying that person would not be condensed......

fell asleep in a daze, and when Ruo'an woke up, Leng Chen was no longer around, touching the slightly cool bed on the other side, Ruo'an still couldn't hide his loss.

After calming down, Ruoan got up and dressed, and went down to the ground......

When Ziyan came, she brought the news that He Qishan had sent from the palace, and the Queen Mother woke up.

This made Ruoan very excited, hastily had some breakfast, and hurried into the palace to visit the queen mother.

The news of the queen mother's awakening spread quickly, and when Ruo'an went, there was already a long queue of concubines waiting to visit outside the door, Ruo'an took a deep breath and exclaimed: "No...... So many people ......"

Ziyan was also frightened by this situation: "Sister, why don't we go back...... Even if the Queen Mother is awake, it is impossible to receive so many people, right? ”

Ruoan nodded: "It's okay...... Now that the Queen Mother has woken up, there shouldn't be much of a problem, so let's come back later......"

Ziyan nodded, and the two were just about to leave, when they saw Yuzhu, the personal palace maid next to the queen mother, walk out, and the two stopped and stopped to listen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the Queen Mother has woken up, her body is still very weak, and she will not see any guests today, please go back......" Yuzhu said expressionlessly, as if she did not have a good impression of the group of people in front of the door.

The crowd immediately became agitated, and the concubines began to talk about it.

"Does it matter if the Queen Mother's body matters?"

"When will you see us?" We've got a lot of supplements, huh? ”

"Yes, our filial piety must be known to the Queen Mother?"

A group of women were talking about it, and Yuzhu snorted coldly: "If you are tired, you can leave the gifts here, and the slaves will send someone to record them in detail, and when the queen mother is better, she will convey it on her behalf, I don't know what the ladies think?" ”

"Very good...... Register me, I'm the first to come, and I'm the most filial......"

"Who said that, I came very early......

Ruoan sighed lightly, seeing that Yuzhu was surrounded by this group of women, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic, and at this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind him. (To be continued......)
