Chapter 190 You Just Got Stabbed
Lan Luo has been the biggest suspect these days. She says that a person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear, but in her heart she still hopes that someone can testify for her and prove that the puppet dragon has nothing to do with her!
At this moment, when she heard Xue Qingyao say that there was a way to prove her innocence, she became uncontrollably excited.
Xue Qingyao curled her red lips, "It's very simple. If the same puppet dragon-injuring incident happened in the palace on your way back to Nanzhao from Jiuzhou, wouldn't it prove that the murderer who killed Princess Lan Zheng was someone else?"
The light in Lan Luo's eyes suddenly went out. "I thought you could come up with a solution, but this is it?"
She gave Xue Qingyao a speechless look and turned to leave.
Xue Qingyao saw this and quickly grabbed her, "Princess Lanluo, you have to believe me, this method is definitely the best way to prove your innocence!"
Lan Luo stared at her with a hint of impatience in his eyes, "Where do you want me to find the puppet dragon?"
Xue Qingyao was stunned for a moment, "Don't you Nanzhao people carry insects with you?"
If she had really read the books recording the Nanzhao insects, she would never have asked such a stupid question!
Lan Luo sneered in his heart, and did not let her go either. "Mr. Xue, the dragonfly is not as simple as you think. In Nanzhao, only dragonfly masters can control dragonflies. After all, dragonflies are not so easy to control. If you are not careful, the female dragonfly may turn against its owner. It is impossible for you to control the dragonfly."
Xue Qingyao smiled slightly, "Princess Luo'er, if you want to prove yourself, handing the insect over to me is the best way. As long as we cooperate, you won't be considered a criminal when you return to Nanzhao. Maybe General Meng will even feel guilty about you because he suspected you before."
Lan Luo's current situation is indeed difficult. If the news of Lan Zheng's death at the hands of a puppet dragon gets back to Nanzhao, and her father also identifies her as the murderer, then her life as a princess who was rejected by Jiuzhou for marriage will be completely over.
Therefore, even though she knew that Xue Qingyao had no good intentions and just wanted to use her to get the insect, she had no better choice at the moment.
Lan Luo weighed the pros and cons for a moment, and finally said, "I didn't lie to you, I really don't have a puppet dragon on me."
Xue Qingyao saw that her eyes didn't seem to be lying to him, and a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
I have finally come up with such a perfect plan, is it going to fail just because there is no puppet dragon?
Just as she was about to let go of Lan Luo's hand, she heard Lan Luo's voice again, "But, I have a pair of lover pigs."
Xue Qingyao grabbed Lan Luo's arm again before he could let go.
I can't contain my excitement!
…
"Lover's Pig? Lan Luo actually gave the Lover's Pig to Xue Qingyao?"
Ever since Murong Ye was seriously injured, Murong Nan came to the palace more and more frequently, and Chu Xinyue naturally followed him.
At this time, she was sitting in the courtyard of Shuiyuexuan, listening to Xue Youli gossiping about Xue Qingyao's private meeting with Princess Lanluo.
Xue Youli sat opposite her, with a peat stove between them.
There was an iron grate covering the stove, on which peanuts, chestnuts and oranges were roasting.
Xue Youli peeled an orange and gave half to Chu Xinyue, "The roasted orange is so sweet, you should try it too."
Chu Xinyue took the orange and asked curiously, "Ali, you haven't told me what Xue Qingyao wants to do with the Lover's Pig? Is she planning to plant the Lover's Pig in Murong Ye?"
Xue Youli finished eating the orange in her mouth, and then she replied slowly, "How can Xue Qingyao be such a loyal person? In her eyes, Murong Ye is useless, and it is not worth it for her to waste the hard-earned lover."
Chu Xinyu reacted immediately after she reminded him, "Is Xue Qingyao trying to plant a lover pig for your emperor?"
Xue Youli nodded. "Once the lover's offspring is conceived, Murong Che will obey Xue Qingyao, who owns the mother. Xue Qingyao plans to wait until she gives birth to a little prince safely, and then let Murong Che make her son the crown prince. As long as her son becomes the crown prince, Murong Che will surely die suddenly, and I, the most favored concubine, will be the first to be buried with him. You are close to me, so she will not let you go."
Chu Xinyue was so angry that she laughed, "Xue Qingyao is really good. As soon as she got the Lover's Pig, she arranged our ending clearly! Ah Li, how about I go and snatch the Lover's Pig from her tonight?"
While Xue Youli was talking, his hands were busy peeling another chestnut. "What are you going to do with it? We don't need it!"
Chu Xinyue took the peeled chestnuts from her hand, narrowed her eyes, and smiled wickedly, "Tell me, what bad things do you want to do?"
Xue Youli gave her a wicked smile in return, "Doesn't she want to plant a love pig? Let's help her."
As she spoke, she leaned over to Chu Xinyue's ear and whispered a few words.
"What? Eunuch?" Chu Xinyue's eyes sparkled, and she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "Okay, okay, Ah Li, when it comes to being immoral, you are the one!"
Xue Youli curled her lips and said, "You know my principles. If someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend them. If someone offends me, I will dig up her ancestral grave!"
"By the way, what is Murong Ye's current situation? Does your emperor really intend to kill him quietly?" Chu Xinyue lowered her voice very low, and raised her hand as if wiping her neck after she finished speaking.
They all knew that Murong Ye's survival was the greatest threat to Murong Che's throne.
Lan Zheng stabbed Murong Ye this time, it was really God's blessing.
Murong Che isolated Murong Ye in the Imperial Hospital and forbade anyone to visit him. He must have wanted to take this opportunity to solve this difficult problem.
Xue Youli saw her expression of waiting for the excitement and sighed, "It's too difficult. Do you know why your Prince Kang has been coming to the palace so frequently recently? Isn't he worried that his good second brother will never be able to open his eyes again if he closes them?"
Murong Nan usually looks innocent, but as a child who grew up in the palace, who hasn't witnessed the intrigue and deception?
Murong Nan guessed Murong Che's thoughts, and went into the palace every day just to keep an eye on the group of doctors in the Imperial Hospital to prevent Murong Ye from dying unclearly one day.
Chu Xinyue's expression immediately changed from 'hehe' to 'not hehe', "Murong Nan is such an idiot, he only knows how to hold me back! It makes me angry just thinking about it! This time, if he dares to be a stumbling block, I will be the first one to not let him off!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Book of Heaven's Secrets suddenly appeared in front of Xue Youli.
A line of large characters appeared on the page: [The plot is triggered. It is detected that Murong Nan asked Qingfeng to distract the guards guarding Murong Ye in the Imperial Hospital, and he slipped into the courtyard where Murong Ye lived.]
Xue Youli immediately had a bad feeling in his heart: [Tell me, what did he do again? ]
Book of Secrets: [Murong Nan suddenly appeared, and the female doctor who was feeding the medicine was startled. The medicine bowl fell to the ground and happened to wake up the unconscious Murong Ye.]
Xue Youli was speechless after reading the Book of Secrets: [Didn’t the imperial physician diagnose that Murong Ye might never wake up in his lifetime? Now, even dropping a medicine bowl can scare him awake? This male protagonist’s halo is so outrageous, it’s outrageous to the extreme!]
Chu Xinyue was still peeling roasted chestnuts and eating them. Seeing that Xue Youli looked a little upset, she looked at her in confusion, "Ali, what's wrong with you?"
Xue Youli sighed, and before she could answer him, Xiao Zhongzi walked into Shuiyuexuan from outside and walked towards them, "Master, I just passed by the Imperial Hospital and heard the doctors say that Prince Xian has woken up. Now Doctor Cheng has gone to Zicheng Palace in person to report the situation to the emperor!"
Xiao Zhongzi was very good at observing people's expressions. Even though Xue Youli had never said openly that she and Murong Ye were at odds, Xiao Zhongzi could tell that ever since Murong Ye was seriously injured and fell into a coma, both the emperor and Xue Youli had been smiling more than before.
The news that Murong Ye had regained consciousness was like a nightmare to Murong Che and Xue Youli.
Xue Youli did not immediately express her opinion after hearing the result.
Chu Xinyue's eyes widened in surprise. "Didn't Doctor Cheng say that the King might never wake up? Did you hear it wrong?"
Xiao Zhongzi said quickly, "Princess Kang, I heard it clearly, and I am absolutely not wrong!"
Xue Youli put the last orange slice in her hand into her mouth and added, "If nothing unexpected happens, Murong Ye will leave the palace tonight."
Chu Xinyue's shoulders slumped, and she said depressedly, "How come this guy woke up just like that?"
Xue Youli did not tell anyone that Murong Nan had sneaked into the courtyard.
Of course, she didn't want to protect Murong Nan, she just didn't want their relationship to be affected because of Murong Ye.
Murong Ye has the aura of the protagonist. Even if Murong Nan did not go to the Imperial Hospital, he would wake up through other means.
"Don't worry, don't forget, he is the almighty hero you created with your own hands, how can he die so easily?"
Xue Youli stood up from the charcoal stove and pulled her up. "The emperor will definitely go to the Imperial Hospital after receiving the news. Why don't we go over there and join in the fun?"
When they arrived, they saw Murong Che's ceremonial procession outside the Imperial Hospital.
The two looked at each other and quickened their pace to enter the Imperial Hospital.
At this moment, on the bed in the courtyard, Murong Ye was leaning weakly against the headboard.
There was no color on his face, but a shrewd gleam flashed across his lowered black eyes.
"Your Majesty, I remember that before I fainted, I was about to go to pay my respects to my mother, but Princess Lan Zheng suddenly rushed out and stabbed me with a sword. I don't remember what happened afterwards. Your Majesty, where is Princess Lan Zheng? I think I have no grudge against her, and I want to ask her in person why she wants to kill me."
Murong Che looked at his pale face. Even though he knew that the puppet dragon was his doing, he had no way to expose him. He could only patiently explain, "Princess Lan Zheng was controlled by the puppet dragon. It must be an accident that she hurt you. However, you will not have the opportunity to confront her face to face."
Murong Ye's eyes twitched, and he frowned in confusion, "Why?"
[Murong Ye's serious injury did not affect his acting skills. It's a waste of his talent to be a prince. He should be a movie emperor! ]
Murong Che listened to the voice coming from the door and immediately knew that it was Xue Youli.
Without waiting for him to answer Murong Ye's question, Chu Xinyue strode to the bed and said, "Your Highness, Prince Xian, don't you know? Princess Lan Zheng was burned to death! Her death was so tragic! Not only was her face unrecognizable, but her body was also burned black. Compared with her, your injury is nothing! After all, Princess Lan Zheng lost her life, and you were just stabbed!"
