Chapter 128 Wen Li'er's Abnormality
When the Queen Mother woke up, the room was dead silent.
The yellowish lights flickered in the warm breeze.
Under the light, a figure sat quietly beside the bed, flipping through a book.
The Queen Mother's gaze fell on the figure, and a hint of kindness flashed across her old face.
"Xu'er..."
Yan Shixu put down the book in his hand and looked back at the bed.
"Grandmother, you're finally awake."
The Queen Mother glanced at the sky outside and said distressedly, "It's this hour. Why don't you go and rest? Instead of guarding an old woman like me, what are you doing?"
Yan Shixu helped her up and carefully put a pillow behind her.
He poured a cup of warm water and fed it to the empress dowager himself.
"I will not be able to rest assured until I see the Empress Dowager wake up with my own eyes."
When the Queen Mother heard this, tears welled up in her eyes.
Her voice was choked with sobs. "I know you are a filial son, but you should also take care of your health. Let Zhong Yun take care of me, and you go summon Zhu Fangxin and Ge Yongtai to discuss the funeral arrangements for your uncle Wu."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Handle it according to the highest standards for the prince."
Yan Shixu laughed and said, "Grandmother, Imperial Uncle Wu is fine, there's no need for a funeral."
The Queen Mother suddenly looked up at him, and for a moment she suspected that she had not yet woken up.
She pinched herself subconsciously and found that she could feel pain.
"Xu'er, you... your uncle Wu is really not dead?"
"Yes, it was rescued."
"Who saved him?"
Yan Shixu opened his mouth and asked, "Who is the judge?"
The Queen Mother cried with joy.
"Court Judge He really didn't disappoint me. But why did he tell me that King Wu couldn't be saved?"
Yan Shixu explained, "It was my grandson who told him to say that."
"Why?"
"Because... this is the only way to find the murderer as quickly as possible."
The Queen Mother wiped away the tears from her eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "Does Xu'er already know who the murderer is?"
Yan Shixu looked at her deeply and nodded.
"I understand, but I still need to confirm it. Grandmother, do you want to check?"
The Queen Mother tightened her hands on the quilt.
After a long moment, she nodded and said in a trembling voice, "Let's check it out."
Yan Shixu's gaze fell on her clenched hands.
"Grandmother, there's news about the Emperor's uncle still being alive..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"good."
…
After Prince Yu's convoy left the capital and traveled for a day towards Xizhou, it was caught up by the imperial guards sent by the crown prince.
The imperial guard bowed towards the carriage and said, "Prince Yu, Princess Yu, Prince Wu has been poisoned to death in the Queen Mother's palace. The Crown Prince has ordered his subordinates to invite you two back to the capital to handle Prince Wu's funeral."
Prince Yu and Princess Yu looked at each other.
After a moment, Prince Yu's face turned pale and bloodless.
He looked at the imperial guard in disbelief.
"Second brother was a strong man with great martial arts skills, how could he die suddenly? Do you know what crime it is to deceive this king?"
The imperial guards bowed and said, "I dare not deceive Your Highness. Prince Wu died of poisoning. Prince Yu will know when he returns to the capital."
Prince Yu was devastated and sad for a long time before he ordered his men to turn the car around and hurried back to Beijing.
…
East Palace.
Qionghua Palace.
Wen Li'er is reading to Xiaoxiao.
Her voice is very soft, and it makes people feel refreshed.
Lin Fujia sat opposite her, using a rattle to tease the owl in the cradle.
Xiaoxiao opened his big round eyes and looked left and right from time to time.
It seems like it doesn't know where to look.
When his eyes got tired of moving, he looked quietly at the book in Wen Lier's hand, as if he was listening carefully.
Of course, he couldn't understand.
Just then, a voice came from the yard. It was Qingmei who came back.
Qingmei came back hurriedly with a food basket in her hand.
Seeing her impetuous appearance, Nanny Qin couldn't help but scold her, "You've learned all the rules like a dog!"
Qingmei hurriedly explained herself, "Madam Qin, didn't the master ask me to inquire about King Wu? I heard that King Wu died of poisoning in the Queen Mother's palace yesterday!"
Nanny Qin ran over and tried to cover her mouth, but she was a step too late.
She was so angry that she winked behind her.
Qingmei immediately realized that there were other people in the hall.
She covered her mouth like a child who had done something wrong.
Nanny Qin glared at her and turned to go back to the hall.
“Pah…”
Before Nanny Qin stepped into the hall, she heard the sound of something falling to the ground.
The book in Wen Li'er's hand fell on the back of her foot. She looked at Qingmei who was following behind Nanny Qin in disbelief.
"What did you say? King Wu... is dead?"
Qingmei glanced at Lin Fengyi, who was sitting opposite her master, and replied with a stiff upper lip, "Yes, I heard that Prince Wu died of poisoning in the Cining Palace yesterday..."
Seeing Wen Li'er's big reaction, everyone in the hall was a little confused.
Lin Fujia also looked at Wen Li'er in confusion and asked with concern: "Sister Wen, what's wrong with you? Does she know King Wu?"
Wen Li'er came back to her senses and shook her head, saying, "I don't know him, but everyone knows the invincible and undefeated King Wu who defended the country on the northwest border."
Lin Fujia nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
She glanced at the sky outside again, said goodbye and left.
Wen Lier personally saw her to the door.
After Lin Fujia left, she still stood by the door, motionless.
Nanny Qin looked at her, thoughtfully asking, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Before that, when Yang Guifei and the emperor died one after another.
The master ordered the palace servants to stay in the Qionghua Palace, ask less questions, and go out less.
But after learning that King Wu had come to the capital, the master unexpectedly changed his behavior and asked Qingmei to find out the palace where King Wu lived and when he would leave the capital.
Originally, Nanny Qin just treated her master as the same as most people and revered King Wu.
Now it seems that is not the case at all.
Wen Li'er stood at the door of the palace for a long time.
It was not until she heard the cry of an owl in the palace that she turned around and returned to the palace.
The little guy stopped crying immediately after she held him in her arms.
The little head rubbed against Wen Li'er's chest, and the two little hands tightly grasped her clothes and refused to let go.
Wen Li'er touched his little head, a hint of regret in her eyes.
She asked Qingmei to find out the palace where King Wu lived and the time he would leave the capital.
In fact, she wanted to disguise herself as a palace maid before King Wu left the capital, and pretend to meet him on the way back to the palace, and kowtow to him.
Unexpectedly, he passed away.
So sudden, or death from poisoning.
Wen Li'er felt an indescribable anger in her heart, and she wished she could cut the person who poisoned her into pieces.
well……
King Wu died, and her mother must be very sad.
Speaking of which, her mother liked to do good deeds every day and liked to go to the temple to burn incense...all of which had a lot to do with King Wu.
Every time A Niang went to the temple to pray for her family, she never forgot to ask the Bodhisattva to bless King Wu with peace and safety.
Although, King Wu had no idea who she was.
But A Niang has been obsessed with this matter for more than ten years.
