Chapter 261: Funeral

Updated: >

Lan Shikang looked around the entire inner room, except for a small window in front of the dresser, there was only one exit from the door. The two palace maids entered the inner room as soon as the queen's screams screamed, indicating that it was impossible for the murderer to go out through the gate.

Walking to the only window where the murderer could escape, Lan Shikang reached out and pushed it, only to find that the window had been closed from the inside. If the killer had escaped from here, the windows would never have been closed so tightly.

No one can escape from the inner room, how did the queen die Lan Shikang stood in place, still holding the long sword that was inserted in Jiang Ruyue's chest just now. The blood on the sword dripped to the ground, mixing with the ice and blood that filled the ground. The sound of that drop of blood shook in Lan Shikang's heart, and it couldn't be calm for a long time.

In an instant, Lan Shikang turned around and pointed at the yellow-clothed palace maid who was still awake and kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and her cold voice seemed to sound from the depths of hell: "Say, who bought the two of you?"

The palace maid in yellow was stunned, but after a while, she understood what Lan Shikang meant: "No, no, the slave maid has not done anything, when the slave maid comes in, the queen has been, already" The palace maid in yellow kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, she was really afraid that the long sword inserted in the queen's chest would make a hole in her body in the next second.

Lan Shikang's breathing slowed slowly, he was not a person who lost his composure easily. The murderer can't leave here, and only these two palace maids are the most suspicious. But the queen was born in the mighty Marquis Mansion, how could she not understand martial arts and think about the posture of these two palace maids when they walked on weekdays, and there was no internal force at all. Just ask, how could such two weak women snatch the long sword from the queen's hand, and then assassinate the queen on the spot

Lan Shikangti's hand was slowly lowered. turned around, picked up Jiang Ruyue, who was still lying on the ground, and put it on the bed. Looking at Jiang Ruyue's wide eyes, Lan Shikang squinted his eyes and said softly: "Come on, drag these two palace maids out of the door and kill them" Even if they didn't do it, but the queen died, they couldn't escape the responsibility, and they should be buried together.

"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life" Ignoring the cry and the struggle, the two Praetorian Guards stepped forward and dragged the two palace maids in Tsing Yi and Huang Yi down together. The palace maid in Tsing Yi, who was still in a coma, didn't know that she had been sentenced to death at this time, was she lucky, but she was killed in that battle, how could she be in a coma all the time

The cries outside the door were louder and louder, but after a few moments, there was no more sound. Looking at Jiang Ruyue lying on the bed and refusing to close her eyes, the gloomy color on Lan Shikang's face became more and more intense.

That year, he went to the Marquis of Weiwu's Mansion to propose marriage, and saw her in the garden wearing a jade-colored embroidered folded branch pile of flower skirts, holding a long sword, dancing under the pear blossom tree. Sassy, vibrant, bright and eye-catching.

Although it was just to compete with others for the support of the Mighty Marquis Mansion, he was also glad that the woman who was with him was such a woman.

How many years of husband and wife are not without the slightest affection. For those concubines, he was still a little different to her. Otherwise, he would not face the criticism of the ministers and let her live in the Palace of Heart Cultivation, just to maintain the dignity of her queen.

"Get out," Lan Shikang said to everyone in the inner room without looking back.

Some eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting in the cold palace got the order and hurriedly walked towards the door. This gloomy inner room, they have long wanted to leave. It's just that Gonggong Zhang and the commander of the Praetorian Guard still hesitated: Now that the queen is dead, if the murderer's target is the emperor, what should I do, even if the real queen commits suicide, such a yin room is really damaging to the emperor's yang energy

"Give it all to me" Lan Shikang suddenly turned around, and the anger in his eyes shot towards Gonggong Zhang and the commander like a silver sword of substance.

At this time, the emperor was an injured beast master, and they were worried that it was right, but if the emperor came at them with anger and affected their lives, it would be a little impossible. Immediately, Gonggong Zhang and the commander of the Praetorian Guard retreated and closed the gate.

The room, which was already not very bright, became even darker. The blood on Jiang Ruyue's chest has long ceased to flow out, but the blood-soaked clothes and eyes that can't close their eyes for a long time seem even more weird at this time.

The queen is dead, Lan Shikang is thinking about the relationship between husband and wife, or the support of the mighty Marquis Mansion, no one knows what he is thinking. The door was closed, and on one side was the inner room, hidden in the darkness, and on the other hand, the sky was full of dark clouds and a strong wind.

"It's been a good weather these days, why did the wind start to wind early this morning, it seems that a heavy rain should be inevitable after a while." The windows of the Feng Dynasty Palace's dormitory were blown open by the strong wind, and Qian'er kept muttering and complaining while closing the windows.

The temperature plummeted, and the cold wind blew on Xie Danniang's body, and suddenly there was a layer of goosebumps. Xu is weak-hearted, she always feels that this wind is a little abnormal. Looking around at the exquisite and luxurious queen's bedroom, she was indeed envious in the past, but at this time, it seemed more and more gloomy and terrifying.

"Come on, light all the lights for the palace, hurry up, light them all for the palace" Xie Danniang shouted urging outside the door.

But the windows were not all closed, and the candles were so lit that even the ones that were originally lit were blown out a lot.

Xie Danniang bit her lip tightly and lay on the bed, suddenly feeling a little uneasy. Looking around, it always looks like someone is looking at her in the dark. Restless, Xie Danniang closed her eyes and whispered: "Jiang Ruyue, if you die, you will die, do you still want to fight with the living, the queen who has been sitting for so many years, you should be content." Go wherever you want, why bother me to pester me again, you didn't die at my hands, if you want to blame me for causing me to almost have a miscarriage, why do you put all the blame on the dumb girl If you want to seek revenge, you can go to her"

After a while, the doors and windows were closed, and the palace lamps of all sizes were lit, and the dormitory was suddenly much brighter.

"Niangniang, recently, the head of the courtyard also said that your body is getting better, and you can get out of bed and walk around. Now that the queen is dead, the emperor must put the queen's coffin here. Instead of the emperor opening his mouth at that time, it was better for Niangniang to tell the emperor earlier how "Xiao Ruo has been standing beside Feng Collapse, naturally she saw the look on Xie Danniang's face.

Sure enough, when Xie Danniang heard that the queen's coffin was going to be moved here, her face immediately turned pale again, and she said: "Yes, what you said is that the palace also feels that it is too disrespectful to the queen to live here again." Now that the prince has been saved, it is better to go back to the palace tomorrow and return to the Lanxiao Palace" Xie Danniang's words were a little cold and shivering.

"If Niangniang wants to return to Lanxiao Palace, the emperor will definitely think that Niangniang is virtuous and virtuous. However, this matter still has to go back to the emperor, it is better to let the slave maid go for the mother and tell the emperor about this matter, the mother thinks it is feasible" Xiao Ruo asked thoughtfully.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you." Xie Danniang thought about it and agreed, but in the next second, she said with some eagerness: "You can go now, if the emperor agrees, the palace will move back to Lanxiao Palace today." ”

Xiao Ruo couldn't ask for it, so he agreed, and then turned around and walked out of the bedroom of the Feng Dynasty Palace.

The sky was gloomy, and the wind was just blowing, and at this moment, the rainstorm was coming. The bean-sized jade beads hit the eaves of the corridor, crackling and crackling. As soon as Xiao Ruo walked to the door of the imperial study, he saw the two Praetorian Guards guarding the door hurriedly running from outside into the eaves to hide from the rain, and they were so wet that they were covered in water.

Xiao Ruoben was still worried about how to enter the imperial study, and when he saw this situation, he had a plan in his heart.

"The two eldest brothers are really hard, and they have to be guarded here on such a day." Xiao Ruo stepped on the lotus step, twisted his waist slightly, and walked towards the two Praetorian Guards guarding the door with a deliberate smile on his face.

"Isn't this the medical lady and aunt next to the imperial concubine, but I want to find the emperor for the mother" The queen is dead, and it has long been spread throughout the palace. Now that the imperial concubine is dominant, as a celebrity in front of the imperial concubine, the Praetorian Guard has naturally become much easier to speak. What's more, it's still a beauty.

"Niangniang was grateful for the queen's leniency in the past, but thinking that she was still occupying Niangniang's dormitory to this day, she really felt a little unhappy, so she ordered the slave maid to come over and ask, can you move back to Lanxiao Palace." As Xiao Ruo spoke, he got closer and closer.

"My aunt has probably been serving by Niangniang's side, so I don't know that the emperor has been to the cold palace since this morning, and he hasn't come back yet," one of the older Praetorian Guards raised his eyebrows when he saw Xiao Ruo standing opposite him and was very close.

"That's a pity, I don't know if Gonggong Zhang can go back to Gonggong Zhang directly, and it's okay to ask him to tell the emperor" Although Xiao Ruo had some regret on his face, the smile was deeper. It's good that the emperor is not here

"The emperor stayed in the cold palace, and Grandpa Zhang naturally wanted to accompany him. Auntie might as well go directly to the cold palace to find Father-in-law Zhang. Another, slightly younger Praetorian Guard suggested.

"But, but someone just died there" Xiao Ruo's face couldn't help but be weak, and his frightened look became more and more pitiful. Just without waiting for the two to say anything, Xiao Ruo pretended to be quite embarrassed, bit his lip and said: "Forget it, if you can't even do such a thing, I'm afraid that the mother will be unhappy, and the slave will go to the cold palace" As he spoke, he stomped his feet and prepared to turn around and leave.

Just as he was leaving, he suddenly stumbled and fell down the stairs outside the corridor.

It was not easy to climb to the position of the Praetorian Guard, and it was even more remarkable to be able to guard the door of the imperial study here. Just as Xiao Ruo fell, the older Praetorian Guard reached out and grabbed Xiao Ruo's shirt and pulled her back.

Xiao Ruo's panicked face, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose slightly without a trace. With the strength of the Praetorian Guard's hand, Xiao Ruo's whole person was attached to his body, and he fell down the corridor with the Praetorian Guard.
