Chapter 13: Dangerous Anomalous
Chu Ling asked Yu Fengcheng to hold the brocade box, and was about to leave the queen's bedroom, and when he came to a corridor, Chu Ling suddenly stopped.
I only heard that two little palace maids were talking about something behind the corner, and when Wei Xueying heard it, it turned out that they were gossiping about things in this palace, and they were gossiping about the emperor.
"Sister, did you say that the emperor saw something evil, so decent, he became ill and delirious all of a sudden, it's really terrible!"
"It's hard to say, maybe there is really something unclean in this palace, what do you think, there are a lot of concubines dead in the cold palace, I heard that the emperor will talk nonsense, showing his teeth and claws, it's scary."
"It's so scary, in broad daylight, I feel cold down my spine when I think about it!"
"Well, don't say anything, don't let anything unclean hear about it, come to us!"
As he spoke, the footsteps of the palace maid walking away were heard.
Wei Xueying understood, it turned out that the emperor had some kind of acute illness, which seemed to be quite serious, but there was no news outside the palace, and the queen was still in the mood to laugh in the palace, which was really a strange phenomenon.
Chu Ling, who originally planned to leave the palace, looked gentle, smiled and said to Wei Xueying: "Concubine Ai, it's rare to enter the palace, you should also go to see your emperor and father-in-law, right?" ”
"Okay, listen to you." Wei Xueying responded, Chu Ling was going to see the emperor, and whatever she saw her father-in-law was an excuse.
However, she was very interested, what kind of disease can make people so sick that they are delirious and babbling nonsense, and they will show their teeth and claws.
I can't help but say that the originally peaceful life has become unstable because of Chu Ling's appearance, and Wei Xueying always feels that the surrounding environment seems to have become sinister all of a sudden, and there are too many sudden situations, and they are also dangerous and abnormal.
There was always an aura of conspiracy, and Wei Xueying seemed to be able to smell it.
With Wei Xueying's consent, Chu Ling and the others left the queen's bedroom and went to the emperor's bedroom.
*
I thought I would see the emperor smoothly, but I was blocked by the guards outside the palace, and the guards said that the emperor had an accidental cold in the past two days and needed to recuperate, and no one was seen, only the queen and the prince came, and the emperor would see him.
Chu Ling vaguely felt that something was wrong, a few days ago he asked the emperor for the holy decree of marriage, the emperor at that time was alive and well, and in the past few days he was busy preparing for the marriage, so he didn't enter the palace, and he became sick like this in a blink of an eye, which is really strange.
Wei Xueying thought that the emperor was sick, and Chu Ling should be very anxious, but Chu Ling seemed to be very calm and not panicked at all. ”
Anyway, her itinerary plan didn't see such a project as the emperor, so Wei Xueying followed Chu Ling out of the palace.
Once I returned to Lingwang's Mansion, the snow fell heavily again.
Wei Xueying sat in the hall, listening to Yu Fengcheng's report to Chu Ling about the arrest of the thief.
The charcoal fire burned vigorously, and a pot of sweet wine was put on the fire, which was warm.
Wei Xueying doesn't care about the safety of Chu Ling's palace, no matter how many assassins there are, no matter how many thieves there are, they will not take her after all, and Chu Ling is not a troubled person, although sometimes the tone is slippery, but on the whole, the two respect each other like guests, and they are okay.
As for the lost sheepskin map, Wei Xueying was not interested at all.
The only thing she was interested in was that, according to the investigation of the Ling Wangfu, it had been determined that the assassins were all sent by the Killing God Temple, a killer organization active in the southern part of Northern Chu.
It's interesting that a killer meets a killer.
Wei Xueying couldn't wait to see what kind of masters the so-called God Killing Temple had that could compete with her.
The sweet wine in the wine glass was rippling, looking at Yu Fengcheng's body that had been wet with snow, and his face was a little pale, Wei Xueying said to Liu Qingling beside him: "Manager Liu, go get a cup." ”
"Yes, Princess." Liu Qingling responded, so go get it.
After coming back after a while, Wei Xueying took it, poured a glass of hot wine, handed it to Yu Fengcheng, and said, "Come, warm up." ”
It's amazing that the princess, who never had much to do, actually poured wine for an attendant herself?
Liu Qingling was strange, Chu Ling was also strange, Yu Fengcheng was flattered, and hurriedly took it and said, "Fengcheng thank you Princess for the reward." ”
Wei Xueying looked at Yu Fengcheng directly, her eyes were still dark, but she didn't have the same light as before.
It was a mysterious light like a dark night, and at the moment, Yu Fengcheng seemed to be a mediocre person from the inside out.
"Ai Concubine, you are really a person who loves the house and Wu, and even the attendants of this king are so good, which is really the envy of this king." Chu Ling was on the side and said with a sour voice.
His eyes were sharp, and he kept looking at Wei Xueying and Yu Fengcheng, which made Wei Xueying very uncomfortable.
"It's just a glass of wine, and the princess will reward whoever she wants." She replied.
Chu Ling smiled when she heard this, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand, wanting to hook the tip of Wei Xueying's nose, but she flashed it directly and pounced, so she had to withdraw her hand in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "That's natural, in King Ling's mansion, you are the boss." ”
Wei Xueying was originally a little displeased, but when she heard Chu Ling say this, she couldn't help but laugh.
Chu Ling, it's really oily and smooth.
"Fengcheng, go down, have a good rest, lest Concubine Ai complain that this king abuses you." Chu Ling beckoned, motioned for Yu Fengcheng to go down, and then turned to Liu Qingling and said, "Ling'er, you go and prepare a pot of sweet wine, get some side dishes, and this king will accompany Concubine Ai to drink a few glasses." ”
Wei Xueying felt that this sweet wine and her appetite, the wine was mellow and fragrant, plus a little rock sugar osmanthus, it was hot in the charcoal fire, refreshing and mellow, for the sake of Chu Ling's nonsense, she was willing to drink a few glasses with Chu Ling.
The two of them sat face to face on the brazier, with a small table beside them, and after a while, Liu Qingling sent what Chu Ling wanted and waited aside.
Seeing Chu Ling diligently pouring wine for Wei Xueying, with that warm appearance, Liu Qingling felt uncomfortable.
In the past, she was the one who accompanied the prince, but now the so-called princess has come, and she threw two scars on her beautiful face alive, not to mention, and robbed her princess.
No one knew Liu Qingling's thoughts, she could only think about it alone with hatred.

Before you know it, two months have passed, and spring has arrived.
It is rare that the weather is sunny, the streets of the imperial city are crowded, the people are busy rushing to the temple fair, busy walking, the street can be seen everywhere the spring flowers folded by the hawkers, as long as you walk on this street, you can smell the fragrance.
Wei Xueying rode on a snow-white horse, this white horse was magnificent, and a touch of black fur on her eyebrows was like the shape of lightning.
