046. Bad news
Chu Yijun's eyes darkened, and he pulled Ling Ran and was about to give her a kiss, but he suddenly let go of her, his thick sword eyebrows frowned tightly, and his expression suddenly became extremely painful.
"What's wrong? Stomach hurting again? Ling Ran asked softly.
"Hmm." Chu Yijun turned his back to her, hunched over and struggling.
Ling Ran frowned slightly as he looked at his painful appearance.
After a long time, Chu Yijun suddenly lay down again and looked at her:
"What did the Imperial Doctor say?"
"Say you've been poisoned, oleander." Ling Ran replied unhurriedly.
Chu Yijun repeated lightly, "Oleander." And he spoke no more.
"Who does the prince think is most likely?" Ling Ran suddenly asked.
There was a moment of silence.
"It's hard to say," Chu Yijun's eyes showed a hint of exhaustion, "This king has too many enemies for himself." β
Ling Ran tilted his head slightly and looked at him, and suddenly felt that the position of 'prince' was not easy to Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Ling Ran immediately lowered his head and straightened his clothes and said, "Come in." β
"Miss, hot water." Xian'er walked in with a bowl of hot water.
"Well, let's put this on for now." Ling Ran nodded.
Seeing Xian'er withdraw from the bedroom, Ling Ran picked up the bowl of water, but first scooped up a spoonful and drank it himself, and felt it quietly for a while before handing the water to Chu Yijun.
Chu Yijun's dark eyes stared at her movements, smiled, and took the bowl of water, "It turns out that Mrs. doesn't trust her personal maid anymore." But his heart was slightly warmed by Ling Ran's actions.
Ling Ran pursed her lips, but she didn't want to explain anything,ββ because to be honest, anyone who could poison Chu Yijun in this mansion except Ye Xun felt that everyone was suspicious.
As for why you don't suspect Ye Xun?Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Maybe that's what I feel sometimes.
It was getting dark.
After using the dinner that Ye Xun personally brought them, Ling Ran's little face was also stained with a layer of sleepiness, and he couldn't help yawning.
"Come in and sleep." Chu Yijun looked at Ling Ran's confused expression, and couldn't help but smile and moved around, leaving a vacant seat for her on the bed.
Ling Ran rubbed his eyes, but shook his head with a smile at him, "I'm afraid that the prince can't help but do bad things, it will be detrimental to recovery." β
Chu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ling Ran with some playfulness, "Madam is really getting more and more confident. β
"Not to myself, but to the prince." Ling Ran hurriedly added, smiling so much that his eyes were about to bend into crescents.
Chu Yijun's handsome face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Madam doesn't try, how do you know." With a big wave of his hand, he wanted to take Ling Ran into his arms.
Ling Ran took a few steps back and said with a smile, "AhemΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· What's that, it's not early, it's time for the concubine to return to Qingxin, and the prince has a good rest. β
Chu Yijun's eyes flashed with a touch of unhappiness, but he couldn't help himself in the pain, so he had to nod, and after Ling Ran closed the door, he closed his eyes tiredly.
However, when Ling Ran was about to walk back to Qingxinyun, he bumped into Yan Bingbing head-on.
Her delicate face was always just the right amount of makeup, which made Ling Ran sigh a little.
"Bingbing has seen Sister Princess." Yan Bingbing smiled and saluted her.
Ling Ran nodded, looking at her holding a small crockpot in her hand, "What is this?" β
Yan Bingbing smiled, "This is the soup that Bingbing has just boiled to clear heat and detoxify, and I am going to send it to the prince." Sister do you want to try it first? β
"Thank you sister for your kindness," Ling Ran shook his head with a smile and said, "Send it to the prince quickly, don't let the soup be cold." β
"Yes."
ββββββ
The next day.
The overcast sky had just dawned.
In the misty autumn rain, a shadow is standing quietly at the door of King Xuan's Mansion with an umbrella, as beautiful as a picture, attracting frequent sideways glances from pedestrians on the side of the road.
"Mrs. Ling, why don't you let Wei Zhi wait," a guard at the door couldn't help but step forward and say to Ling Ran, "It's windy and rainy today, so be careful of catching a cold." β
Ling Ran turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, thank you." β
After waiting for a while, Ling Ran suddenly saw a man walking towards her, and immediately felt overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her:
"Fast forward, fast forward."
Who knew that the man's footsteps were slightly sluggish, and he was surprised:
"Miss knows the minions?"
"Huh? Aren't you Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·? Ling Ran was suddenly a little confused, how could this man call her Miss?
When the man saw Ling Ran's expression, he immediately understood something, and smiled apologetically, "It turns out that Miss is waiting for someone else, offended, offended," Seeing that Ling Ran's eyes were still a little confused, he had no choice but to show Ling Ran the waist card and introduce himself, "The micro job is the guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I came to the Xuan Wangfu today to inform the young lady of a message." β
"Oh, hello, hello," Ling Ran finally reacted and hurriedly asked, "What's the news?" β
The guard took a deep breath, but said first, "Please be mentally prepared first, and don't be overly sad." β
Seeing Ling Ran nodded, he continued, "A few days ago, Madam Yu Li fainted on the spot after hearing the news of the eldest lady's death and fell unconscious. Although he later woke up under the doctor's treatment, his condition took a turn for the worse last night, and now he is in danger. β
Who knew that Ling Ran nodded calmly after hearing this, and asked, "Did the doctor tell me about the specific cause?" β
He shook his head, "The specifics don't know either. Lord Ling just called the servant to come over and inform the young lady. β
"Okay, then I'll pack up my things and go back to Xiangfu with you."
"Well, the slave will go back and prepare the carriage first, and then come back to pick up the young lady at noon."
"No problem. I'm sorry for you. β
Waiting for the guard from the Prime Minister's Mansion to walk away, Ling Ran waited for the person she really had to wait for this morning.
I saw a man dressed like the Imperial Forest Army riding a horse, and when he arrived in front of Ling Ran, he immediately turned over and dismounted, bowed to her, and said:
"I'm sorry, there was something wrong on the way, so the princess waited for a long time," then he untied a burden from the horse and handed it to Ling Ran, "This is the decoction that Lord Zhang personally made for Prince Xuan, and Princess Lao will take good care of the princess." β
"Mm-hmm, I've worked hard for you." As soon as Ling Ran took the burden, he felt the hot temperature of the decoction inside, and he only felt that it was really warm to hold this burden in his arms in this weather.
"Okay, then I'll quit first. I'll see you tomorrow. β
"Okay, no problem. See you tomorrow. β
Seeing the Imperial Forest Army leave, Ling Ran turned around and walked towards Xuan Cao Pavilion, and happened to meet Xian'er on the way, and Xian'er hurriedly ran over to take over the burden in her hand.
"It's cold, Miss is weak, this kind of thing will be good for Miss to let Xian'er come in the future." Xian'er glanced at Ling Ran with some concern.
Ling Ran smiled at her when she heard this, "But you don't have a chance, just now a guard from the Prime Minister's Mansion came to me and told me that my mother is seriously ill and is in danger, I have already made an appointment with him, and we will have to leave for the house later." β
"What? Mrs. Yuli? Xian'er was so shocked that she almost threw the burden in her arms to the ground, "Madame didn't have any symptoms before." β
"I heard that I fell ill because I suddenly got the news of Ling Yu's death."
"Oh."
And today, as soon as they approached Chu Yijun's bedroom, they heard a few hearty laughter coming from the room.
Ling Ran recognized it as soon as he heard it, and there was Yan Bingbing in the bedroom.
