Chapter 230: Neither of them is easy to deal with
Zuo Xiang's body was hung on the flagpole in the city square.
Blood and dirt dripped down the flagpole and froze on it.
Some of it dripped down the clothes and froze to the ground.
People who got up early saw that his body looked like a pupa strung together with a string, swaying slightly in the wind, giving people the illusion that it was still alive.
It was not until it was taken down that everyone realized that the person was already dead and frozen brittle.
People from the Criminal Justice Institute surrounded the scene and took the body away.
They went to the Left Prime Minister's residence to investigate and found out that the murder scene was actually in the residence.
It was a cold night and no snow fell, so the long bloodstain that ran through three courtyards in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion had frozen to the ground.
It looks creepy.
Zuo Xiang's family witnessed the entire process of Zuo Xiang's murder. When asked about the man's appearance, the weapon he used, what he said, and what he did, they could only shake their heads and could not remember anything.
The reason why Han Lang could do this was because the culprit who hunted him down and caused him to flee ten years ago was Zuo Xiang.
That year, the left prime minister's daughter, Concubine Xiu, miscarried just three months into her pregnancy, rendering her unable to bear children. He believed that the queen was responsible, so he also wanted to kill one of his sons, and thought he had succeeded.
If Feng Aoqing hadn't been there, he might have wiped out Zuo Xiang's entire family.
When I think of Feng Aoqing, I feel full, my heart is kind, and my hands are soft.
He originally thought that he could only watch her in the dark for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that she was already by his side, so he had to take good care of her.
After Han Lang finished his work, he changed his clothes and went into the palace to pick up Feng Aoqing, fearing that she would suffer any grievances in the palace if he was late.
Even though his mother wasn't around all year round, he knew very well after spending a year with her that she was definitely not an easy person to deal with.
Although, Feng Aoqing is not a pushover either, the two of them can definitely have fun for a while.
But it’s better not to play it.
For thousands of years, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a lifelong feud, and it is bound to never end.
Although now, they are not mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The thought of these two people in the same room made him feel uneasy.
What's more, the letter about her identity may not have arrived yet. It will be troublesome to wait for the news to arrive. It is better to take it out first.
Feng Aoqing heard the door open and opened her eyes to see Han Lang walking in with a cold breeze.
"You don't know how to knock on the door, Your Highness? I just fell asleep and you came." Feng Aoqing stuck her head out. Han Lang saw that her hair bun was still intact. What kind of sleep did she have? I'm afraid she didn't close her eyes. She had to be careful.
"I knew you were used to your own bed. If you can't sleep, try sleeping in another bed!" Han Lang replied with a smile, feeling a little distressed.
The two were just being affectionate when a light cough was heard from the inner room.
Han Lang put Feng Aoqing down and went inside to see his mother.
"She has to change the fumigation medicine for me every half an hour. She just went out and her quilt may not be warm yet. Let her sleep for a while. Why is she making such a fuss so early in the morning?" Xiahou Ying scolded.
"I'll take her home to sleep and not disturb you here."
Xia Houying frowned, but seeing her son's expression, she could only let it go. So she asked, "Didn't you say yesterday that you would stay until I got better?"
"I've asked Ao Qing. From today on, there's no need to use medicine anymore. Just fumigate daily. They can do it. I'll bring her here to see you in seven days. We're in the capital and we're not leaving."
"Well, it's too restrictive to stay here with me."
She reached out her hand for Han Lang to help her, and after he made such a fuss, she got up.
"You look much better." Han Lang was also concerned and said after looking at his face.
"Even if I don't mention my complexion, I feel really relaxed and comfortable."
Feng Aoqing put on her makeup and told Qizhen some precautions before going into the inner room.
"Your Majesty, please move less and rest more. The poison cannot be removed overnight. You need to recuperate for several days." She instructed.
"Okay, I understand. I'm afraid I'll have to hold on today." Xiahou Ying looked at her face in the small bronze mirror in Qizhen's hand.
"Does your Majesty want to look like before?"
"That's best."
"I have a plan."
So Feng Aoqing put some makeup on her. It wasn't at the level of a head replacement, but it was already extraordinary.
Han Lang took Feng Aoqing away.
The queen was eating the eight-treasure porridge that Feng Aoqing had cooked early in the morning. She had a good appetite and wanted to have another bowl. Qi Zhen was so happy that he ran to tell the palace people, "Your appetite is better! You want more!"
The servants in the palace were very happy.
"Madam's Holy Hand!"
"Madam, the porridge you cooked with these eight common ingredients really puts my decades of experience as a chef to shame!"
"Please remember this: the Queen wants to eat this porridge tomorrow!"
"I took notes carefully, so there's no mistake. I'll make a small pot this afternoon for you to try."
......
Just as the people in the palace were rejoicing, the concubines arrived outside the palace to pay their respects.
When everyone came in and saw the queen, they found that she no longer looked sick, but instead looked full of energy.
As soon as everyone entered the house, they bowed their heads and began to look around.
As we chatted, we started talking about the terrible things that happened in the square. The descriptions were so vivid, as if they had happened right there.
"You guys are so awesome! My palace is closer to the city gate and we didn't receive the news, but you guys got it so quickly!" Xiahou Ying said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they all knelt down and explained, "We just heard a servant who came back from outside say that. It was really terrible! It disturbed the Empress's recovery."
Xiahou Ying waved his hand to let them get up.
"This porridge is good. Let's have a bowl each." Xiahou Ying asked someone to deliver a bowl to each of the ladies in the room.
The porridge arrived, steaming hot and fragrant.
But the maroon color reminded them of the scene just described, causing everyone to feel nauseous. However, for the sake of the queen's face, they had to suppress their nausea and start eating.
Xia Houying didn't react at all. She finished the porridge in her bowl, handed it to Qi Zhen and said, "We'll have this again tomorrow. It's warm and sweet. I just don't know if you can put more sugar in it."
"Madam said that too much sugar and salt will not be good for your current condition. Your Majesty, please be patient. After a few days, when your condition has improved, you can consume more." Qizhen replied.
"Okay, then let's listen to her." Xiahou Ying nodded.
"Your Majesty, I passed by Concubine Xiu's palace early this morning and heard that she was sick." Concubine Xin mentioned this person.
"Dad has encountered such a serious problem, he must have fallen ill." Someone responded.
"Has the palace doctor gone to see her?" Xiahou Ying asked.
Before anyone could answer, Concubine Xin heard the question: "I heard that Your Majesty has one here. Seeing how healthy Your Majesty looks, I know he's a master."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately became interested and the porridge in the bowls became fragrant.
"Yes, but she was sent out of the palace early in the morning." Xiahou Ying admitted.
"That's because Concubine Xiu doesn't have this blessing." Concubine Xin replied.
"How can Concubine Xiu's fortune compare to that of the Empress?" Someone hurriedly flattered her.
"That's what I said."
Everyone felt regretful that they never got to see this legendary "lady".
