Chapter 240: Licheng
Leng Yang's heart was cold, and he knew that he had no way to return to heaven...... Seeing this, Xiao Dezi smiled: "Second Highness, what you said is right, this medicine is really poison...... It's just bitter for my sister...... She's still so young...... Ahem...... Please, help me take care of her...... Ahem......"
Xiao Dezi coughed up more and more blood, and gradually lost his breath, and his arm fell to the ground as soon as he fell weakly, so he went.
Leng Yang felt very uncomfortable, Xiao Dezi could be said to have grown up with him, but he didn't expect to die in front of him today, the feeling was no less than losing a loved one.
Xiao Dezi's matter soon spread in the palace, and everyone sighed, how could a person who looks so honest on weekdays do such a betrayal......
Naturally, the Kunning Palace also got the news, Tian Rong was lying on the soft couch very leisurely, and a few little eunuchs behind him were beating their shoulders and rubbing their backs, he half-squinted and listened to the little eunuch who came to report the ins and outs of the matter and nodded slightly: "Xiao Lizi didn't say anything before he died, right?" ”
"No, nothing was said...... And so it goes......" replied the little eunuch.
Tian Rong opened his eyes and showed a satisfied smile and said: "Even if he still has some filial piety, okay, a few of you go down, bring his corpse back for burial, and then receive some silver to give to his family, we can be regarded as benevolent and righteous......"
"Yes...... The master ......" The little eunuchs replied, bowed and withdrew. Tian Rong is very satisfied, these apprentices he selected from the little eunuchs who entered the palace, carefully cultivated, all of them are very loyal, and they are used to block things for themselves at critical moments, which is very suitable, Xiao Lizi is an example, only need a little inducement, they can be willing to send their own death. It really saves myself a lot of trouble.
"Master, it's dawn......" A little eunuch walked in with ginseng tea, Tian Rong took a few sips and said: "Prepare, we should go and serve the queen's mother, today, it is destined to be a day of chickens flying and dogs jumping......"
"Yes......" The little eunuch waited for Tian Rong to get up and walked slowly towards the queen's bedroom.
At this time, there was a dead silence in the Jiqing Palace, Leng Yang sat on the chair in the hall silently, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, but he hadn't thought about it yet. How to tell Leng Chen and Ruo'an about this, if they knew that it was the closest person around them who did it, would they still trust themselves and stay up all night. It's all about these things over and over again.
The door was pushed open with a babbling, and Leng Yang looked up in surprise. I saw the green clothes walking in with Shan Yanran in hand. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the dead body on the ground, and his heart suddenly tightened and said in horror: "Second Highness...... What are you ......?"
Leng Yang was already bored, and when he saw Shan Yanran coming to ask, he became more and more impatient: "Don't worry so much, go back to your room and rest......"
The green clothes made a color towards Shan Yanran, and Shan Yanran stabilized her emotions and said, "Second Highness...... I'm afraid it's not good for such a dead man to be here...... Besides, it's going to be dawn......"
"That's it! I said I wouldn't tell you to care. I can handle these things myself! Go back to your room! Leng Yang scolded angrily, Shan Yanran was a little annoyed, she wanted to be kind enough to come and see Leng Yang, but she didn't expect him to have this attitude. Unwilling to argue with him, he turned around and walked out of the room.
Leng Yang's mood had not calmed down, he looked at the gradually brightening sky, sighed, pushed the door out, and explained to the little eunuch at the door to clean up the study, and then walked slowly towards the palace gate.
The lights in King Chenxian were bright, and Ruo'an didn't sleep all night, and she didn't close her eyes when she guarded Baogen. Bao Gen's condition is very unstable, sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious, in He Qishan's words, he is a person who can pass at any time. The reason why he was able to last so long was because he hoped to see his mother for the last time.
But Ruo'an couldn't bear to tell Baogen the news that she was no longer alive, so she could only prevaricate for various reasons, so that in the end, Ruo'an herself couldn't make up words, her eyes were swollen and red, hoping that Baogen would wake up, but she was afraid that he would wake up and ask her mother's whereabouts, her heart was twisted into a pimple, Ziyan was anxious in her eyes, and Leng Chen was the same, although she was in a hurry, after trying to persuade a few times to no avail, she could only rely on Ruo'an.
A few people just guarded the treasure root and stayed awake all night......
When the sky was slightly bright, Father-in-law Yanlu came to report that the Second Highness had come down, Leng Chen nodded and agreed, and Father-in-law Yanlu led the Second Highness down to the side room in the backyard.
Seeing that everyone was dressed before, he knew that several people had not rested, and it became more and more difficult to speak in his heart, Leng Chen saw Leng Chen's strange expression, so he guessed one or two, and just wanted to lead him out, but was stopped by Ruo'an: "Second Highness, stay ......"
Leng Yang's body was stunned, Ruoan didn't look back, continued to look at Baogen and said softly: "Baogen can't hear us anymore, and now there is nothing to hide......"
Leng Yang's heart tightened, and then she understood what Ruo'an meant, presumably she had already guessed a thing or two, after all, Xiao Dezi had done too lame to plant Baogen's mother, and she could understand it with a little thought...... It's a pity that Gonggong Li is dead...... If you check it up again, the clues will be broken, but it is certain that Tian Rong has nothing to do with the whole thing, after all, Xiao Lizi was pulled up by Tian Rong, and Leng Yang was thinking about the affairs of Chenxian Wang's Mansion and had not interrogated Tian Rong yet......
"Ruo'an......" Leng Chen called softly, Ruo'an shook his head: "I'm fine...... I want to know the truth......"
Leng Yang took a deep breath, knowing that he could no longer continue to deceive this matter, so he slowly told Xiao Dezi about betraying him, and everyone present was amazed, especially Father-in-law Yanlu, who couldn't help but start wiping his tears, after all, he was the apprentice he brought out, how could he be so confused and do such a thing?
Seeing that Yanlu was crying silently, Leng Chen persuaded: "Don't be too sad, it has nothing to do with you......"
"No...... It was the minion's fault, it was the minion's failure to teach him well that allowed him to embark on this path......" Yanlu said and touched his tears with his sleeve.
Ruo'an on the side clenched her fists, and she heard it very clearly, Gonggong Li of Kunning Palace...... Tian Rong's apprentice...... If there was no bigger backstage to support him, would a few fathers-in-law dare to do such a thing to murder the royal family? She turned her head and looked at Leng Yang with tears in her eyes, he was standing beside Leng Chen, with an innocent face, but Ruo'an didn't know why, there was a trace of anger in her heart, if it weren't for this person's mother, Leng Chen wouldn't have been poisoned...... Mother Bogan won't die...... You won't get hurt yourself...... Now Baogen can't last long...... So many lives are because of the high queen, what does she want to give up?
Leng Yang was talking to Leng Chen, and suddenly turned his head to see Ruo'an standing up, staring at himself with a pair of bright eyes, glaring at himself fiercely, he had never been afraid of anything, but Ruo'an's eyes looking at him like this made him feel frightened and felt a chill through his bones.
"Ruoan, are you alright?" Leng Chen saw that Ruo'an's face was ugly, and he couldn't help but worry, but Ruo'an shouldn't be Leng Chen's words at all, he still stared at Leng Yang, Leng Yang was stunned by her eyes, Ruo'an snorted coldly: "The queen mother who is high up...... How far do you want to push us to give up? Do we have to die before we stop? ”
"Joan...... You...... This matter has not yet been clarified, and it can't be blamed on the queen mother like this......" Leng Yang instinctively defended the queen's mother, but as soon as he said this, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Ruo'an smiled, laughing very sadly, she stubbornly didn't cry, just clenched her fists tightly and said, "Second Highness...... And now you have to defend her...... It's really flesh and blood......"
"I ......" Leng Yang didn't know how to explain the embarrassment at a loss, Ruo'an's tears ran down her cheeks like silver beads with broken threads, her body shook a few times, her eyes were black, and she fainted......
Ziyan's eyes were quick, and she stepped forward to hug Ruo'an, shocking everyone present who was nervous, He Qishan hurriedly stepped forward to take a pulse, and determined that it was just fainting caused by excessive fatigue, and when there was nothing else serious, everyone was relieved.
At this moment, Bao Gen's body twitched a few times, and then he didn't move...... He Qishan put his finger on his neck, lifted his eyelids and looked at it, sighed helplessly, and said, "I've gone to ......"
Although Ruoan was unconscious, he seemed to hear this, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes again......
When Ruo'an woke up, the light in the room was already dim, and Ziyan, who was guarding the side, saw that she woke up and hurriedly helped her up and said, "Sister...... You're awake......"
Joan reached out to block the light, which wasn't very bright, but it still seemed dazzling, and she whispered, "When?" How long did I sleep? ”
"I've slept all day, and it's time for Shen now......"
"So long......" Joan muttered to himself.
"Doctor He said, your body is too weak, and lethargy is normal......" Ziyan replied.
"Where's Baogen?" Ruo An suddenly remembered Baogen, grabbed Ziyan's arm, and asked eagerly, regardless of the pain in his hand.
Ziyan hurriedly picked up her hand: "Sister...... What are you doing here? If you don't take care of your fingers like this, I'm afraid you will be left with a disease in the future! ”
"Where's Baogen?" Ruoan still stubbornly asked.
Ziyan bit her lip and whispered to the sadness in her heart, "Baogen is gone...... I'm going to find his mother......"
Ruo'an was stunned, although she was prepared in her heart, but hearing the news still made her feel uncomfortable......
"Where are they?" Joan whispered.
"A burial has been arranged......"
"What? Buried so soon? What about funerals? Where's the funeral? Ruo'an was anxious, but Ziyan shook her head and didn't speak.
"No...... How could the prince not even give their mother and son a funeral and bury them so hastily? I don't believe it, I'm going to go to the prince to ask for clarification! Ruo An said that she was about to get off the ground struggling, but Ziyan stopped her: "Sister! At this time, everyone has already entered the ground, even if you rush to the place, you can't save anything? It's better to let their mother and son settle into the ground with peace of mind......"
