Chapter Seventy-Eight: Murder with a Knife
"Your Majesty, the concubine farewell" Chen Qingxuan squatted down to salute and took a lantern from Zhang Derong's hand to leave.
"Waitβ" Yang Xi said, "I'll go with you." β
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that I won't have this blessing tonight" Chen Qingxuan smiled lightly, and there was a faint luster in her big eyes.
Yang Xi thought for a while and sighed: "It's okay, the road here is a little far, let Xiao Lux send you back, otherwise, I won't worry."
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Chen Qingxuan did not refuse his kindness, and immediately Xiao Lux was too much of Yang Xi's 'jade', and helped Chen Qingxuan to sit, Shi Wenzheng couldn't help but look at her again, a little suspicious in his heart, what did her last words mean?
Taking the 'jade' ride, Chen Qingxuan returned to the Qinghe Palace, Yuehe and the others came up, and the 'waiter' was waiting to get acquainted again, she took off her big clothes outside, couldn't help but cover her mouth and yawn, look at the time, the three watches have passed.
"Miss, go to bed early," Yuehe put down the curtain and smiled.
"You guys go to sleep too, I don't need anyone to wait here," Chen Qingxuan said with a smile.
"Okay" Yuehe knows her usual temper, sleeps at night, and doesn't like someone to 'wait' on the side, otherwise, she will make a fuss and can't sleep, so there is no one else in her room.
Seeing Yuehe retreat with plum and bamboo, Chen Qingxuan moved the lamp to the small table in front of the 'bed' by herself, and was 'wanting' to lie down in her clothes, but unexpectedly her eyes turned and saw a puddle of wet water stains on the floor near the window, she not only frowned, could it be that the 'girl' of the small palace accidentally spilled the washing water on the place, why didn't she wipe it?
But when she took a closer look, Chen Qingxuan knew that this was definitely not the water accidentally spilled by the 'girl' of the small palace, and someone entered her room?
Putting the lamp in his hand on the table, Chen Qingxuan looked at the bottom of the 'bed' and shouted in a low voice: "Do you come out by yourself, or do you want me to let the 'guards' come in?" β
No one agreed, Chen Qingxuan sneered: "Lu Yuan, you are also a nine-grade master, when did you actually learn to drill under the 'female' person's 'bed'?" β
"How do you know it's me?" On the pass, a figure flew out like a swallow swirling low, and landed on the ground silently, with a wry smile, "You have been found hiding under the 'bed'?" β
"Hmph" Chen Qingxuan was depressed and sneered, "You crossed the water from Daming Lake, but unfortunately, the light skill has not yet been cultivated to the realm of falling into the water without a trace." β
"Who can fall into the water without a trace?" Lu Yuan asked in a dissatisfied whisper.
"What are you doing secretly 'fuggling' and 'touching' hiding from under my 'bed'?" Chen Qingxuan snorted, "I haven't seen you for three years, and you are still so virtuous." β
"Now the grass and trees in the palace are all soldiers," Lu Yuan said helplessly, "I can't run out, I can only come to you." β
"What are you doing to save Your Majesty?" Chen Qingxuan 'touched' the swallow dart that Yang Xi gave her just now from her purse, and asked, "Have you eaten it?" β
"I thought that the eldest lady would be happy to see the current situation" Lu Yuan took the swallow dart and said in a low voice.
Chen Qingxuan didn't speak, walking back and forth in the room, Lu Yuan didn't speak, watching her walk back and forth slowly, until he walked three or four times, Chen Qingxuan stopped and sighed: "Yang Xu is gone, I have to think of a way to contact Yang Xu." β
"Gone?" Lu Yuan asked puzzled.
"Your Majesty has promised me tonight that you can let me meet him tomorrow, as long as I can talk to him alone, maybe, we will have some eyebrows if we can't figure out things that we can't figure out" Chen Qingxuan said in a low voice, "It's just that tonight, just now, there was a bloody case in Showa Xuan, Yang Xu was robbed, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"What then?" Lu Yuan frowned and asked.
"You won't be able to get out of the palace 'gate' anyway," Chen Qingxuan thought for a while and said, "There is a place that is very safe, and if tonight's incident was done by His Majesty, in a hurry, he would not have time to take people out of the palace, so-that person is very likely to be hiding in Jingyang Palace." β
"Your Majesty's bedchamber?" Lu Yuan asked.
Chen Qingxuan nodded, tonight the dragon guards may search all places, but they will definitely not search Jingyang Palace, because it is Yang Xi's bedroom.
"You're not going to spend the night under my bed, are you?" Chen Qingxuan asked with a smile.
"I-" Lu Yuan sighed, "I'll go" As he spoke, he had already walked towards the window, pushed open the window, and suddenly asked, "Miss, you have always been far-sighted, can I ask you a word, why do you have to find Yang Xu?" In that case, if we had given up on him, we wouldn't have had to lose so many people to go in. β
"It's too strange that the first queen died," Chen Qingxuan said in a low voice, "If the queen doesn't die, think about it, wouldn't the situation be much better now?" Qinglian committed suicide again, what happened in the palace at the beginning, do you think Your Majesty will tell us the truth? What he wants is to control the government, not to cooperate with us, and once he is in power, I am the first person he wants to get rid of. β
"He wouldn't be cold to do that?" When Lu Yuan heard this, he was suddenly startled, frowned and asked.
"In this battle of the world, the movement will be ruined, and the corpses will be everywhere - feelings? For royalty, it's a game of luxury," Chen Qingxuan sighed softly.
"Miss, if that's the case, I will kill him for you" After Lu Yuan said this, his body shook, and he was already flying towards Daming Lake, as light as a 'milk' swallow around the beam.
When Chen Qingxuan woke up the next day, the window lattice was already shining, and he was busy getting up, but he felt a headache.
"Niangniang woke up" Outside, Meizi heard the voice, hurriedly walked in, opened the curtains, and waited for her to get up, who knew that when she looked at her face, she not only said "ah", but asked in surprise, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" β
"What?" Chen Qingxuan asked puzzled, "I just have a little headache, it's not a big deal" Although she said that, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her throat and eyes, and her whole body was hot.
"Mama Yue" Meizi was a little anxious, and was busy shouting outside.
Soon, Yuehe rushed in, seeing that Chen Qingxuan's cheeks were red, she reached out and 'touched' her forehead, which was also hot, and hurriedly said: "It's amazing that this is probably yesterday when I caught a cold." β
Yuehe said, while 'waiting' Chen Qingxuan to lie down again, and then ordered Xiao Lux to go to the imperial hospital to ask the imperial doctor, soon, Imperial Doctor Li hurried over, after the pulse diagnosis, said that it was a cold, fortunately it was not too serious, just take two doses of 'medicine', and then, prescribed a prescription, and instructed everyone, how to decoction, Yuehe gave a reward, sent the imperial doctor, and ordered Xiao Lux to take the 'medicine' prescription and go to the royal 'medicine' room to catch 'medicine'.
Not long after, the news that Chen Qingxuan was sick in the Qinghe Hall spread out, and some concubines came to visit, Yuehe looked at Chen Qingxuan's lazy expression, and was busy blocking them one by one, fortunately, now Chen Qingxuan is already Mrs. Chenrong, unless Concubine Qin Xian is in the palace, only the grounded Gu Guifei has a higher status than her.
Those low-ranking concubines, even if they were dissatisfied, did not dare to complain.
As for Chenyi's wife, Zhang Linlin, she never attached herself to anyone, and naturally she would not come to visit the Qinghe Palace.
At dusk that day, Chen Qingxuan took the 'medicine' and fell asleep groggily, 'confused' and 'confused', it seemed that someone approached her, not only startled, but immediately woke up.
I saw Yang Xi wearing a silver-white 'colored' mink coat, standing in front of her couch.
"Your Majesty" Chen Qingxuan frowned, what is he doing at this time?
Yang Xi stretched out his hand, took a cushion, leaned on her, helped her sit up, and then saw that he sat down on the edge of her 'bed', just looking at her, but not speaking.
"What does Your Majesty want?" Chen Qingxuan only felt sleepy, and immediately asked bluntly.
"One is to ask Qing for something, and the other is to tell Qing one thing, so that you can take precautions as soon as possible." Yang Xi 'touched' her hand and sighed in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, please speak," Chen Qingxuan asked.
"How did that little palace 'girl' in Jinghua Palace die?" Yang Xi asked.
"Died from the crack of the ice," Chen Qingxuan said bluntly.
"But Qing did it?" Yang Xi asked again.
"Your Majesty, I don't have those 'medicines', to spoil an inconsequential palace 'girl'" Chen Qingxuan said 'lust', "Using ice crack on a small palace 'girl' is simply a violent thing, there are many ways to kill people, this is definitely the behavior of a ruined son - Your Majesty looks at me like a ruined son?" β
"Qing is naturally not a loser" Yang Xi smiled bitterly, did you say so? This kind of indiscriminate means, isn't she, is there anyone else? In his palace, he was really restless, "Who is possible?" β
"I don't know," Chen Qingxuan covered her mouth and yawned.
"Okay, the second thing - the Queen Mother is going back to the palace" Yang Xi said in a low voice.
"Oh?" Chen Qingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly, the old witch of the Queen Mother returned to the palace so soon? Didn't she say that she was going to pray at the Thousand Harmony Temple for three years? How long has it been?
"Yang Hui will be back too," Yang Xi continued.
"Second Highness?" The corners of Chen Qingxuan's mouth showed a sneer.
"Qing is not the 'daughter' of the Chen family, and I am not a fool, if it is okay, I will naturally not forget our cooperation, if the Queen Mother makes it difficult, I will not be able to protect Qing at that time." Yang Xi said slowly.
Chen Qingxuan slowly stroked the lubricated mutton fat 'jade' pendant, and asked in a low voice, "When will the Queen Mother return to the palace?" β
"On the fifteenth of this month," Yang Xi said.
"Your Majesty has always made knives, you don't care about lending me once, right?" Chen Qingxuan raised his head, his eyes shining.
When Yang Xi heard this, he suddenly swished, stood up, and asked in surprise: "You-can't"
"Can't? Why? Chen Qingxuan asked rhetorically, "Between Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, is there another agreement to hide it from me?" I wonder, why is it you who ascended the throne of God? β
"No," Yang Xi said with some embarrassment, "I can't afford to kill my mother."
"She has nothing to do with you at all" Chen Qingxuan said slowly, "Getting rid of her and abolishing Yang Hui by the way, for Your Majesty, it is a great plan for a thousand years."
