Chapter Eighty-Five: The Art of Voodoo
Autumn is much cooler, and under the big tree with yellow leaves, Liu Ruoxin looked at the heroic person in front of him with an undeniable expression.
"Aifei, why is this expression?"
Nalan Zhi looked at the surprised look on Liu Ruoxin's face, couldn't help but chuckle, turned his head again, and looked at Liu Ruoxin with a serious expression.
"Your Majesty, won't there really be any accidents if you do this?"
Liu Ruoxin still couldn't believe her ears. The dignified emperor can actually ...... for her Find a stand-in to stay in the palace?
If it is discovered by those treacherous villains, won't there be any big mess in the palace?
"Okay, concubine, don't worry too much, I have my own arrangements for this matter."
Nalan Zhi could see Liu Ruoxin's concerns, took her slender jade hand and patted it gently, comforting.
"But the emperor ......"
"Okay, this matter is over, don't mention it again!"
Liu Ruoxin felt that something was wrong, and just wanted to ask, but was stopped by Nalan Zhi with a stern look.
"Yes."
Liu Ruoxin nodded, perhaps, there is something mysterious in this that she doesn't know.
Under the maple tree, a few fallen leaves gently fell on Liu Ruoxin's shoulders.
"Pack up and get ready to go back to the palace."
Nalan Zhi stretched out his hand to flick the fallen leaves off Liu Ruoxin's body, and then waved his sleeves away.
Early the next morning
"What, are you sure what you just said is true?"
When Ling Tiange heard what Yan Ran said to him, he suddenly stood up from the bed, and a trace of rosy appeared on his slightly pale cheeks because of anger at this moment.
"Back to the mother, what the slave and maid just said is true, and the slave and maid are willing to use their lives as a guarantee......"
Yan Ran was taken aback by Ling Tiange's sudden movements, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and replied tremblingly.
I don't know why, in recent days, Ling Tiange has always become moody.
"Liu Ruoxin, this slut...... It's all like this, and I can come back alive. Ling Tiange clenched his fists tightly, and then slammed them on the bed. Hasn't the emperor been staying in the palace all the time? When did he come back from outside the palace with Liu Ruoxin?! ”
Ling Tiange waved his sleeves and flipped over the tea in the hands of the palace maid beside him, as if a flame was burning in his deep eyes.
"Mother...... Mother, you are angry, be careful not to get angry! ”
Yan Ran was frightened by Ling Tiange's appearance, thinking that she had said something wrong, and knelt on the ground in a panic, at a loss.
This morning, she just told Ling Tiange the news that the emperor and Concubine Liu had returned to the palace together, but it made her lose her temper like this.
Ling Tiange looked at Yan Ran who was kneeling on the ground, and remembered that he had planned before Liu Ruoxin left the palace, and asked Yan Ran to send someone to assassinate Liu Ruoxin, but every time the matter was revealed, the anger did not come out, grabbed the teacup on the table next to him, and slammed it in front of Yan Ran, and took all the anger on her.
"I don't know what you useless things do! This palace really raises you for nothing on weekdays! ”
Innocent porcelain collided on the hard ground and shattered to pieces. Yan Ran just knelt on the ground and kowtowed, but she was powerless to refute what Ling Tiange said.
This time, Liu Ruoxin's slut has a big life, and next time, she won't be so lucky.
Thinking of this, Ling Tiange narrowed his dangerous eyes, staring at one place with a vacant gaze, and did not speak for a long time.
In the past few days after returning to the palace, Liu Ruoxin had an unexpectedly clean life, she thought that Ling Tiange would not let herself go like this, but she didn't expect that the news from the Qiuluan Palace turned out to be that Ling Tiange had been seriously ill and bedridden.
"But I can find out, what is going on in the Qiuluan Palace?"
Liu Ruoxin gently took a sip of the freshly brewed tea and asked about the late autumn beside her.
"Niangniang, I heard the imperial doctor say that the master of the Qiuluan Palace seems to have some strange disease, always has an inexplicable headache and fever, but he can't find out what the cause is, and the imperial doctor can't cure it no matter how he treats it."
In late autumn, she added a piece of clothing for Liu Ruoxin and told Liu Ruoxin what she had heard.
After Liu Ruoxin listened, she just frowned tightly and did not speak.
An ominous premonition came to Liu Ruoxin's heart, and it seemed that things were not as simple as they seemed to be.
"Emperor, I heard that Concubine Yue is very sick, you should take the time to visit her."
"My son got it."
Nalan Zhi went to visit the Queen Mother as soon as he got down from the court, but the Queen Mother asked him to transfer to the Qiuluan Palace.
Nalan Zhi exchanged pleasantries with the Queen Mother for a while, and then went to Ling Tiange's place according to the Queen Mother's wishes.
"Your Majesty, the concubines are finally looking forward to you."
Ling Tiange was asking the imperial physician to take his pulse, when he heard the emperor's voice, the imperial physician stepped aside, and Ling Tiange struggled to sit up from the bed, his charming eyes filled with crystal tears.
"Aifei, how are you doing lately?"
Nalan Zhi sat next to Ling Tiange's hospital bed and saw that Ling Tiange's face was pale and his body was also very weak.
"Your Majesty, you better stay away from the concubines, the concubines are afraid that they are ominous and let the emperor be contaminated with their own sickness."
Ling Tiange said, the crystal clear tears were like pearls with broken threads, dripping down on Nalan Zhi's hands one by one.
"How can Concubine Ai be an ominous thing, and she must not say these unlucky words."
Seeing Ling Tiange's pitiful appearance, Nalan Zhi was instantly emotional, he held Ling Tiange's hand tightly and patted it lightly to show comfort.
"Your Majesty, the slave has the courage to implore the emperor to save the mother, the mother is afraid that it will be ......"
At this moment, Yan Ran, who had been serving by Ling Tiange's side, suddenly knelt down and cried bitterly at Nalan Zhi's feet.
"What the hell is going on with me?"
Nalan Zhi frowned, and asked Yanran to explain what was going on.
"If you go back to the emperor, Niangniang has been ill for a long time in recent days, no matter how the imperial doctor treats it, it is useless, Niangniang is afraid...... I'm afraid I've been poisoned by witchcraft. ”
Yanran hesitated for a while, and then said to Nalan Zhi: "The imperial doctor can also testify, ask the emperor to save the mother!" ”
In the palace, it is expressly forbidden to appear witchcraft, and hearing what Yan Ran said, Nalan Zhi's brows are even tighter.
"Back to the emperor, the illness suffered by Concubine Yue Niangniang is indeed not an ordinary illness."
When the imperial physician heard Yan Ran mention herself, she quickly knelt on the ground and replied without raising her head.
"Pass my order, you must give me a thorough investigation of this matter, who is behind the witchcraft and poison, you must find out for me!"
Nalan Zhi was silent for a while, looking at Ling Tiange, who was crying on the hospital bed, and sent a message to the eunuchs around him, asking for a thorough investigation of the matter.
