28. Inquiry

Xia Li looked out the window not far away, the guards in the yard happened to be changing shifts, she deliberately raised her arm, sure enough, Wei Wuxian saw her, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the courtyard, he hurriedly flew to Xia Li's window and said, "Niangniang has an order?" ”

"Commander Wei, you are my sister's sworn brother, Xia Li doesn't use his own unwarranted identity to get along with you, Xia Li just wants to ask a word, I hope Commander Wei will answer truthfully." Xia Li was afraid that others would hear it, so she said in a deep voice.

"Mother, please speak." Wei Wuxian asked in a low voice.

"If I insist on avenging my sister, will Commander Wei help me?" Xia Li looked at Wei Wuxian with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the expression in her eyes was firm.

Wei Wuxian was stunned, he didn't expect Xia Li to take the initiative to ask him this question, so he nodded, "Weichen should do his best, Niangniang should understand." ”

"Okay." Xia Li smiled slightly and said, "In the future, if there is no one in private, Brother Wei can call me Li'er." ”

Wei Wuxian was stunned for a moment, but he still smiled mildly and nodded slightly, "Okay." ”

"Brother Lao Wei went to inquire about Concubine Mei more, Concubine Duan said today that Concubine Mei has excellent water sex since she was a child, and when her sister fell into the water that day, Concubine Mei was also by her side, I am afraid..."

Wei Wuxian's eyes suddenly glared at the boss, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Really?" ”

"I don't know, so I want Brother Wei to investigate whether Concubine Mei was in the stern of the boat with her sister that day, and what the identity of the assassin that day was, these are very important." Xia Li instructed softly, and heard that the guards who had changed the guard over there were about to enter the courtyard, and hurriedly continued, "If you find anything, don't act without permission." ”

"Good. Li'er take care of herself and pay attention to her body. Wei Wuxian's deep eyes stared at Xia Li's pretty face, swept her lower abdomen, and disappeared into the night with a flash, and the guards who happened to change shifts also walked into the courtyard, everything was as calm as at the beginning.

Since he instructed Wei Wuxian to investigate Concubine Mei, Xia Li's heart has been pinched together every day, if the result is really the same as what Concubine Duan said, then Concubine Mei's suspicion is the biggest, I think she also suspected the queen mother at the beginning, it seems that in this harem, there are layers of crises, not just looking at the surface can be guessed.

During this period, Feng Moyu came to listen to the Yuge several times, breaking the rumors that Xia Li had fallen out of favor, but he also often summoned Yun Zhaoyi, Xia Li just every time Feng Moyu came to see her, she put on a comfortable and complacent, not pampered and arrogant posture, so that Feng Moyu appreciated her generosity and kindness, and cared about the fetus in her womb, and was more concerned about her than before.

The days passed quickly, it had been ten days, Wei Wuxian still hadn't brought him new news, Xia Li was a little anxious, but he still tried his best to calm down, Yun Zhaoyi was favored, it was rumored that Feng Moyu intended to canonize her as a concubine, but since ancient times, there are only four concubines in the harem, there are Concubine Mei, Concubine Duan, Concubine Shu, and Concubine De who has never been in the palace who is ill, the head of these four concubines is Concubine De, and she was also brought up after her sister's death, or because her father and brother are both generals in the border pass, Now if Yun Zhaoyi is given the position of concubine, I am afraid it will be unreasonable.

The sun is getting more and more vicious, Xia Li's body is getting heavier and heavier day by day, it has only been two months to work so hard, and there are still eight months to continue to stay up, she still has to think about her sister's tragic death to take revenge, these days she always wakes up at night, and her sister in the dream is full of sorrow, so how can she sleep peacefully.

The hospital sent a lot of soothing prescriptions, Xia Li also ate them one by one, Feng Moyu heard that Xia Li was not feeling well, and sent a few maids to wait, even Luo'er shouted, she had nothing to do every day, she didn't know what to do when she was idle, Zao'er and Xiao Mingzi were also a lot easier, at the beginning, Xiao Mingzi was sent by Concubine Duan, Xia Li was still a little jealous, after looking at it for so long, this little eunuch is still very scrupulous in his duty. He is also a powerful helper in her palace.

In the afternoon, Xia Li was idle, sitting in the courtyard embroidering the sachet that Concubine Mei was shouting for, and after a while, she heard a burst of noise outside the palace gate, Xia Li's eyebrows were slightly raised, but she couldn't hear clearly, so she lifted her skirt and walked towards the door.

I saw a few little eunuchs shuttling outside the palace, holding the Taoist song and running towards Feng Moyu's palace, Xia Li wanted to keep a little eunuch to ask what was going on, but when he saw a few of them, he stopped stopping him.

Even Wei Wuxian is not in the courtyard today, Xia Li carried the hem of her skirt and walked towards the outside of the palace, trying to find out, but something big happened in the previous dynasty, and as soon as she walked to the door of Wan Concubine, she saw that Wan Concubine also walked out with an anxious face, and when she saw Xia Li, she was stunned at first, and hurriedly saluted. said, "Why did Sister Shufei hear about it?" ”

"Sister Wan, but something happened in the palace?" Xia Li shook her head and asked.

Concubine Wan looked nervous, pulled Xia Li to the side, and said in a low voice, "The war at the border is urgent, and I heard that two cities have been lost. ”

"When?" Xia Li looked stunned, she had been locked in the palace for the past few days, and she had never been in contact with the outside world, it turned out that a neighboring country was attacking and there was a war.

"The news from last night, it is inevitable that my sister doesn't know, the emperor has ordered, the harem should not panic." What Concubine Wan was worried about was whether her mother family, far away at the border, would be implicated.

Xia Lixiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she asked anxiously, "Why is it so fast?" ”

"I heard that the neighboring countries had already planned it, and some people in our previous dynasty simply suggested that the emperor cede the city in exchange for peace." Concubine Wan was also anxious, thinking about stopping a eunuch to inquire clearly, but seeing that everyone looked nervous, she gave up.

"That's good." Xia Li's heart is also full of worries, Feng Moyu must be a time of internal and external troubles now, I am afraid that Wei Wuxian has not come to report the news in the past few days, and it is also because of the war, this battle is really not the right time, there are just some eyebrows over there, and there will be war here.

"Sister, don't be afraid." Concubine Wan took Xia Li's hand and kindly comforted Xia Li, thinking that she was worried about the war, but who knew that she was worried about other things.

"Sister, you are in a hurry, but is there something?" Xia Li remembered the signs of Concubine Wan just now.

Concubine Wan nodded, sighed and said, "My sister doesn't know, my sister's maternal clan is the clan stationed at the border pass, this war, I'm afraid it's more than lucky, my sister is just worried about her parents and brothers at home." ”

"Sister Wan, don't worry, if you hurt your body, my sister will go to the emperor with you to investigate?" Xia Li was also concerned about the safety of the border soldiers, so he proposed.

"So little." Concubine Wan nodded, helped Xia Li to walk towards Feng Moyu's palace, and met a few eight-hundred-mile urgent twists and turns on the way, watching Concubine Wan's face become worse and worse.

Xia Li knew that it was useless to comfort her at this time, and she could only find out the news when she went to Feng Moyu, and as soon as the two of them walked into Feng Moyu's palace, they saw that the queen and Concubine Mei and others were already standing outside the palace.

The two hurriedly saluted, and when the queen saw that it was Xia Li, she stepped forward to support her, and asked in a concerned tone, "Why is Concubine Shu here too, beware of alarming the prince in your womb." ”
