The death of a concubine of the fifth prince is not a big deal in the capital, and it has not even attracted anyone's attention at all, except for Luo Qingluan.

If she hadn't gone to see Luo Qingshuang that day, and Luo Qingshuang said those words to her again, she wouldn't have thought much about it. It was when the Western Chu State and the Southern Wei State were at war, and the domestic atmosphere was already solemn, not only the emperor, but even the courtiers were walking on thin ice and acting cautiously.

Even if Nangong Chen was born as a prince, it was impossible for him to organize the funeral of a side concubine. Just hang some white lanterns and some white cloth and white silk in the palace to express condolences.

On the day Luo Qingshuang was buried, Luo Qingluan naturally went, accompanied by Luo Cheng and others. After all, Luo Qingshuang is his daughter, although he is married, as a father, he must also send the last face.

The saddest cry was naturally Luo Qingshuang's biological mother Wang Xueru, Luo Qingluan hadn't seen this woman for a long time, since she was driven out of the General's Mansion by Luocheng, she had been living in a remote courtyard of the Five Princes' Mansion.

The last time Luo Qingluan went to visit Luo Qingshuang, who was seriously ill, he didn't see her. I saw it today, as if she was a different person, Wang Xueru no longer had the same flying and domineering as before, and her body was dressed a lot more plainly. Plain face to the sky, no fat powder, only a silver hairpin on the head, thinking very depressed.

If she usually saw Luo Qingluan, Wang Xueru would inevitably have resentment or disgust in her eyes. But today, she only glanced at Qingluan, as if she wanted to say something and stopped, and after all, she didn't say anything, only threw herself on Luo Qingshuang's coffin and sobbed.

But after a while, Wang Xueru was pulled away by Nangong Chen's maidservant, saying that she should not be too sad and mourn what happened, but Luo Qingluan saw clearly that Nangong Chen had no respect for Wang Xueru at all. If it weren't for the fact that this was Lingtang, she and Luo Cheng and others were also there, but I am afraid that it would have been another face long ago.

Nangong Chen obviously didn't think that Wang Xueru was his mother-in-law, and Luo Qingluan didn't have the slightest mercy for her when she ended up in this fate. If you do too many bad things, there will be retribution after all, and this may be the end of Wang Xueru.

The daughter died, and the son-in-law didn't recognize him at all, maybe she would be alone for the rest of her life.

Today, to see Luo Qingshuang's final burial, Luo Qingluan has only one purpose, that is, to check what is the cause of Luo Qingshuang's death? This is the doubt in her heart, although Luo Qingshuang has been dead for three days, but according to Luo Qingluan's medical skills, it is not difficult to find out how she died.

In the cold and humble mourning hall, two pairs of white candles burned quietly.

There were no guests to talk about it at all, Luo Cheng stood next to him with Hongyu, talking to Nangong Chen in a whisper, with a slightly sad look on his face. Luo Qingluan looked left and right, walked up and whispered to Nangong Chen: "Fifth prince, I want to see my sister for the last time." ”

Nangong Chen was a little surprised, he didn't expect Luo Qingluan to make this request. But they are sisters after all, and he has no reason to refuse.

"Qingshuang left too suddenly, and Bengong was also very sad. Since Princess Chu wants to see her again, let's go. ”

Luo Qingluan walked to the side of the coffin, which was a good coffin and was not sealed. Slightly revealing the position of the first two feet, Luo Qingluan stood next to him and could see Luo Qingshuang lying quietly with her eyes closed.

I didn't get angry at all, although I wore rouge lipstick on my face, I still wore a gold hairpin on my head, and my clothes were very exquisite, and they were extremely gorgeous. But Luo Qingluan felt more and more that this was something that Nangong Chen wanted to hide.

Just as she wanted to take a serious look at Luo Qingshuang's face, Luo Qingluan suddenly felt a sight coming from behind her, watching her every move with a sense of inquiry. This feeling was so subtle that he was sensitive to it.

Needless to say, in addition to Nangong Chen, who else could this be?

Why did he keep staring at her? Is there a ghost in my heart?

didn't look back, Luo Qingluan looked at Luo Qingshuang quietly, she was here to miss her sister now, look at it twice, Nangong Chen couldn't come up and say anything.

Inch by inch, her gaze moved from Luo Qingshuang's forehead to her closed eyes, and then slowly moved to her nose, lips, and throat.

The idea that he had been suspicious of finally had an official result, and Luo Qingluan really discovered the real cause of Luo Qingshuang's death!

What is said to be sick and dead? Obviously he was suffocated to death!

Although the traces of suffocation have been covered by makeup, Luo Qingluan can still see some clues. I'm afraid that the imperial doctor invited by Nangong Chen that day did not come to see Luo Qingshuang, when she and Nangong Chen were waiting in the hall, it is estimated that the imperial doctor killed Luo Qingshuang and suffocated her with a pillow or quilt.

At present, Luo Qingshuang is already seriously ill, and she has no strength, so she is afraid that she will not be able to shout, so she was suffocated to death by her husband looking for someone.

Shaking his head, Luo Qingluan's heart sank for a while, and he felt more and more serious about the situation.

Just thinking about it, Nangong Chen's voice came from behind him: "Princess Chu, please mourn, Qingshuang has gone, don't be too sad." ”

Luo Qingluan turned her head and looked at the fleeting panic in Nangong Chen's eyes, as if she was afraid that she would notice something. She was secretly vigilant in her heart, but there was no clue on her face.

"My sister is also miserable, so she went at a young age." Luo Qingluan said in a deep voice, "Although she and I had some festivals before, after all, people die greatly, and I won't care about anything anymore." Now that my sister has gone, the five princes should not be too sad. ”

"Ahh......h What a wind chill turned out to be ...... No, it didn't cure ......."

As soon as he said this, as if he was afraid that Nangong Chen would hear it and get angry, Luo Cheng hurriedly stopped talking and didn't say anything more, his face was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, the auspicious time has come, don't delay the time, it's time to be buried." After Luo Cheng finished talking to Nangong Chen, he walked back, and stood next to Hongyu without saying a word.

Soon, mourning music sounded, and after a firecracker was hung, the cold mourning hall finally brought a trace of sound. Luo Qingluan already knew the cause of Luo Qingshuang's death, so he didn't stay to watch the ceremony, and went back quickly.

Back at the Chu Palace, Luo Qingluan simply had lunch and kept thinking about Luo Qingshuang. Why did Nangong Chen find someone to suffocate Luo Qingshuang? After all, it was his woman, and she gave birth to a daughter for him, what secret did Luo Qingshuang want to tell her before she died?

It's a pity that Luo Qingshuang is dead, Luo Qingluan can't guess it, although she knows that Nangong Chen is despicable and insidious, greedy and lustful, but when it comes to what he has intentions, except for women, she can't think of anything.

With a move in his heart, Luo Qingluan said, "Yong'an." ”

In the secluded place, a figure flashed out, and Yongan said respectfully: "What does the princess command?" ”

As Luo Qingluan's personal bodyguard, Yongan naturally protects Luo Qingluan every step of the way. Even when Luo Qingluan was asleep, he would send someone to guard outside Luo Qingluan's room in case she encountered any more crises.

Now that the king of Chu is gone, he naturally has to fulfill his responsibility to protect the princess.

A dark look flashed in his eyes, and Luo Qingluan said: "Yong'an, you go and check, who Nangong Chen has seen and done recently?" If something is wrong, tell me immediately. ”

This matter must be clarified, otherwise it will always be a hidden danger to be buried around. The secret that Luo Qingshuang wanted to tell her at the cost of her life was obviously not a trivial matter, and Luo Qingluan must pay attention to it.

But something happened soon, which made Luo Qingluan have no energy to think about Luo Qingshuang's cause of death anymore. Because, Nangong Qing brought her a shocking news.

"What did you say?"

When Luo Qingluan heard this, she suddenly staggered, her face changed greatly, and she almost didn't fall into the chair, she couldn't believe that she would hear the news.

Nangong Qing was also shocked, and said in a deep voice: "Princess Chu, this palace has just heard the news, and I will tell you immediately." In the early days of the dynasty today, the border pass sent an urgent military information of 800 li, saying that the Southern Wei side had attacked our Western Chu, and Ziqing was seriously injured. ”

"How is that possible!" Luo Qingluan lost his voice and said, "Nalan Ye's martial arts are so high, how can he be seriously injured?" ”

She was stunned, for Luo Qingluan, this was simply a bolt from the blue. She knew that Nalan Ye was confronted by the Southern Wei army, and as the commander-in-chief, she would inevitably encounter crises on the battlefield. But Nalan Ye's martial arts are so subtle, it is very simple to protect himself.

But now that she heard the news that Nalan Ye was seriously injured, and she didn't know how he was alive and dead, Luo Qingluan panicked. She stood up abruptly: "No, I'm going to see him right away." ”

had been on guard for a long time, and Nangong Qing blocked Luo Qingluan's way: "No, Princess Chu, you must not go to the border pass at this time." In such a critical situation, even Ziqing was seriously injured, and he was afraid that the war would be critical. If you go again, not to mention the injury, you may encounter a greater crisis. And my father already knows about the last time you secretly left, but I'm afraid that your front foot has not yet reached the city gate, and your back foot has been chased by someone sent by your father. ”

"What then?" Luo Qingluan panicked six gods without a master, she had never felt this way, Nalan Ye. He was seriously injured, and if I didn't heal him, I was afraid that he would really die. But ......"

Luo Qingluan also knew that Nangong Qing was telling the truth, she was a woman, and she was so far away from the border pass, it was really impossible to rush over. Even though there are Yong'an and Yuan Xing escorts, plus the channels of the Dark Night Hall, under the supervision of the Western Chu Emperor, it is definitely not so easy.

Nangong Qing thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, Princess Chu, you should stay in the palace and wait for the news." My father took this matter very seriously and had already sent reinforcements to support the front. As soon as there is news, Hongu will notify you immediately. ”

"Okay, okay, please, if there's anything you have to tell me right away, no matter what you ask, no matter when, I'll wait." Luo Qingluan hurriedly agreed, barely calming down.

Seeing Nangong Qing away, Luo Qingluan sat down in despair.

She didn't expect this to happen, so what should she do now?

Nalan Ye is still at the border, how is he hurt? Now she only hoped that the military situation was an exaggeration, and Nalan Ye was not actually so seriously injured, or only some minor injuries.

"Miss, don't worry." Dai Yue was also worried, but she still comforted her and said, "King Chu is wise and martial, it must be fine, don't worry." ”

Although she understood that Daiyue cared about her, such comfort was too pale and powerless for Luo Qingluan. She already regarded Nalan Ye as the person who had been with her in this life, but now......

No, no, you have to calm down!

Luo Qingluan kept telling herself that the more critical the situation, the more calm she must be, otherwise she wouldn't be able to think of anything.
