Chapter 371: Tracking

In a moment, a delicate-looking girl in Tsing Yi was tied up by two subordinates and pushed to the ground: "Princess, she still wants to run!" When we went to get her, she was packing her bags and wanted to run away when she saw us coming, but luckily we were quick. ”

Could it be this stinky girl? Xiao Ningyu's face turned pale, her eyebrows raised, and she said angrily: "Cui Tao, what are you running?" Is it a thief's heart? ”

Luo Qingluan looked coldly at this girl who was kneeling on the ground and called Cui Tao, she looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, not much older than Xiao Ningyu. With two shiny braids and fair skin, it doesn't look like doing that kind of heavy work.

But just now she obviously heard that this girl is from the outer courtyard. As a girl in the outer courtyard of the princess's mansion, she basically washes clothes and carries water to clean the yard, how can she be so carefully maintained?

Cui Tao knelt on the ground, climbed in front of Xiao Ningyu in two steps, and kowtowed again and again: "Princess spare your life!" Princess, spare your life! The slave and maid did not want to escape, the slave and maid had just received news from the family, saying that the slave maid's mother was seriously ill, so the slave and maid were trying to pack up their things, and then they came to take leave for the princess, not to escape. ”

"Really?" Xiao Ningyu asked coldly.

Mo Ju stepped forward, snatched the burden from Cui Tao's wrist, and opened it to take a look. There is only a tattered dress inside, but it is wrapped in some gold, silver, fine soft jewelry and other things, which looks like going home to visit relatives?

"Cui Tao, what else do you have to quibble? The princess herself asks you, if you don't recruit you truthfully, you will be skinned! ”

But Na Cuitao still kept begging for mercy: "The princess spares her life, what the slave and maid said is the truth, the slave and maid really went back to their hometown to visit their mother, and these things are all exchanged for the silver that the slave and maid saved before." And the tips from your sisters......"

"You still want to lie?" Mo Ju picked up a hairpin from the pile of jewelry and stretched it out in front of Cui Tao: "You said that your sisters rewarded you, so what about this?" Isn't this the jewelry that the princess usually wears? How did it end up with you? ”

Cui Tao was shocked, and her face turned white with shock. But just when Luo Qingluan thought she was going to confess, who knew that she changed her words again: "The princess spares her life, the slave maid stole the princess's things, and the slave knows that it is wrong!" But the slave only admitted to stealing, and the rest of the slave and maid did not know anything. I just ask the princess not to bother my family, and the slave is willing to pay for her life. ”

As soon as she heard this, Luo Qingluan suddenly felt bad, but before she could stop it, she saw that the girl named Bi Tao stood up all of a sudden, and hit the stone pillar next to Xiao Ningyu, and suddenly her head broke and bled down.

There was an exclamation at the scene, and everyone watched Cui Tao crash into the pillar and die, which was really unexpected.

Xiao Ningyu's face changed, and she stood up, obviously stunned by this sudden situation: "She, she...... How dare you die? ”

Luo Qingluan strode over, leaned over and sniffed Bi Tao's snort, and his heart sank.

is not even afraid of death, and has to hide the truth, what is Bi Tao afraid of? She didn't believe that Bi Tao committed suicide because she was afraid of being held accountable because she stole something, she was obviously investigating the rumors, but she had just found the source here in Bi Tao, but in a blink of an eye, she committed suicide for stealing things, which made Luo Qingluan understand something.

If it weren't for the power of the people behind Bi Tao that she couldn't resist, how could she be willing to die?

Slowly getting up, Luo Qingluan glanced at Xiao Ningyu: "She's dead." ”

"Ah, dead? Why did you die? Xiao Ningyu was suddenly shocked, for fear that Luo Qingluan would blame her for doing something wrong.

Frowning slightly, Luo Qingluan also understood that Xiao Ningyu was no wonder about this, no matter what Xiao Ningyu's attitude was, as long as she asked Bi Tao, she would choose to die. Thinking of the seriousness of the matter, Luo Qingluan felt more and more that this matter was not simple.

Without saying much, Luo Qingluan walked behind Xiao Ningyu and said softly: "Princess, since Bi Tao is dead, then forget it." Death is great, since she knows that she is wrong, she still apologizes for her crime with death, and the princess should not be too harsh. ”

was puzzled by Luo Qingluan's attitude, but Xiao Ningyu didn't dare to disobey her words, so she could only pretend to wave her hand and let people carry Bi Tao's body down. Originally, it was an investigation into the dazzling things that spread randomly, but it turned out to be because of Bi Tao's suicide.

Everyone in the princess's mansion still has palpitations, and in addition to doing things, there are many fewer lazy people, which is unexpected.

When Luo Qingluan was alone with Xiao Ningyu, the latter asked anxiously: "Sister Luo, what should I do now?" This rumor should have been said by Bi Tao first, but she is dead, and we have no way of knowing who asked her to spread it. ”

"Since that's the case, then forget it, I didn't expect Bi Tao to commit suicide, no wonder you." Luo Qingluan said lightly, which immediately relieved Xiao Ningyu.

But Luo Qingluan just didn't want Xiao Ningyu to know more, so as not to do bad things. She deliberately asked Xiao Ningyu to track down the people who spread the rumors with great fanfare, just to let the people behind the scenes know that they were tracking, and now that Bi Tao is dead, the result is just right, if the other party is really Li Guifei, then she will naturally rest assured.

Luo Qingluan could predict it, but he was afraid that even if Xiao Ningyu did not openly investigate this matter today, he was afraid that Bi Tao would disappear in a few days. Either escape or be assassinated, a pawn like Bi Tao is just a pawn who can sacrifice without hesitation.

did not continue with Xiao Ningyu, Luo Qingluan said that he would enter the palace to continue to treat Empress Wei, let Xiao Ningyu be in the house if she was fine, and don't go out at will, so as to avoid her being used by the other party and doing bad things. After entering the palace, Luo Qingluan talked to Xiao Yuqi about the result.

"Sure enough, someone deliberately let Ning Yu make trouble." Xiao Yuqi looked worried: "And the other party is so fast, if we react a little slower, I'm afraid that Ning Yu will do bad things." ”

In his mind, this behind-the-scenes person should know Ning Yu's character very well, reckless, willful, and unable to hide his words. If they weren't cautious and really told Ning Yu about Empress Wei having actually woken up to ease her heart, would it be easy for the people behind the scenes to know the real situation from their own sisters?

Fortunately, Luo Qingluan was vigilant and hid Ning Yu, otherwise he was only afraid of ......

Looking at Luo Qingluan, Xiao Yuqi said, "Then now we still continue to investigate?" After thinking about it, he said with a straight face: "Although the girl named Bi Tao is dead, she must still have family and friends, maybe we can find out the instigator behind her from these aspects." ”

This was also Luo Qingluan's idea, so she didn't let Xiao Ningyu come back with her, because she was afraid that something bad would happen if she knew. Since I thought of it with Xiao Yuqi, this matter will be handed over to Xiao Yuqi to be responsible, anyway, he has a lot of manpower.

Nodding, Luo Qingluan said: "Okay, you find someone to investigate Bi Tao's origin, and everyone who comes into contact with her may find something." ”

Although the toxins in Empress Wei's body have been resolved, she will not be able to fully recover for a while and a half, and she still needs to recuperate. Luo Qingluan asked Biyun to boil the medicine again and let Queen Wei drink it.

There are still people in the Tai Hospital who come to check on Empress Wei, but Empress Wei is 'pale', her pulse is normal, and she is still in a coma, and she can only take small mouthfuls of medicine...... Seeing this scene, Emperor Dongwan became more and more irritable, and beat the imperial doctor again.

This news was soon noticed by the snoopers in the harem, and the concubines and concubines of the palace knew that Emperor Dongwan was irritable because of Empress Wei's illness, and none of them dared to anger Long Yan, so they stayed in their palace honestly. After that, Concubine Li Guifei relied on her favor, in the name of caring for Emperor Dongwan, and went to greet her from time to time, showing a virtuous and caring performance.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, before Luo Qingluan entered the palace again, he was invited by someone sent by Concubine Li.

"Miss Luo, today should be the last time to treat Tianci, right?" Li Guifei asked tentatively: "Is it that in the future, it will be completely healed, and there will be no problem?" ”

Luo Qingluan was fiddling with the silver needles in the wooden box, and said lightly: "It depends on whether the third prince can afford this treatment." If you can bear it, you will naturally recover it all, but if you can't bear it, it's hard to say. ”

"What?" Concubine Li was shocked when she heard this, and thought she had heard it wrong, "What does Miss Luo mean by this?" ”

Twisting up a silver needle, Luo Qingluan said: "It doesn't mean anything, I just reminded the third prince." Saying that, Luo Qingluan looked at Xiao Tianci who was sitting on the couch, and said, "The three princes should feel it after the previous two treatments, right?" Each treatment will be more painful than the last, this third time is the last, if the third prince can bear it, then the body will be better than before. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Tianci was not only not happy, but his face changed: "Then what do you mean...... This time Hongu will be painful, right? ”

"Third prince, are you still afraid of pain? A manly man, he is not afraid of blood and sweat, but are you still afraid of a little pain? Looking at the smile on Luo Qingluan's face, it seemed to be comforting and encouraging, but with a bit of mockery, Xiao Tianci suddenly felt cold.

Last time, he was in unbearable pain, but this time it was even worse than the last time, can he really bear it? But at this time, Xiao Tianci had no choice, so he couldn't fall short.

He didn't believe that Luo Qingluan would really watch him die of pain, if so, he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to live.

Suddenly, Xiao Tianci pretended to be awe-inspiring: "Come on, the palace is ready." ”

When Luo Qingluan's first silver needle pierced Xiao Tianci's back, an amazing scream sounded, and Li Guifei was shocked when she heard it. Luo Qingluan didn't continue to move, and stopped to look at her: "Guifei Niangniang, do you want me to continue?" ”

Before Concubine Li could answer, Xiao Tianci had already gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Luo, go on, this palace, return ...... Hold on. ”

It's already this time, is he still holding back? Thinking that if he didn't insist, he would be like this for the rest of his life, not a man or a woman, Xiao Tianci would definitely not be able to bear it.

Concubine Li's hands were trembling: "Miss Luo, since Tianci has said it, please continue." As she spoke, Concubine Li scolded fiercely in her heart, if it weren't for Luo Qingluan deliberately destroying her emperor's body, how could he suffer such a crime? Now instead of being able to treat Luo Qingluan well, they have to be kind and respectful.

As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't wait to kill Luo Qingluan.

With the piercing of each silver needle, Xiao Tianci would scream in pain, and this terrible voice made the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting around him bow their heads and frown, and they couldn't bear to look at it directly.

When Xiao Tianci's back was pierced with silver needles, like a humanoid hedgehog, I saw Luo Qingluan gently pinching the silver needles and turning, Xiao Tianci was suddenly shocked and fell on the bed.

"God's best!" Concubine Li's face changed drastically, and she said angrily: "What did you do? ”
