Emperor Yunqi looked around blankly, but just sat on the ground, unwilling to get up.
The frightened palace maids immediately stepped forward and hurriedly helped him onto the bed. Emperor Yunqi did not say a word, but just stared blankly. The sadness on his face reminded the palace maids of the days when the emperor lost the queen. Could there be something that made him as sad as losing the queen?
cell.
An Qingran stood in front of Murong Lanxin and looked at her calmly: "You want to see the prince?"
Murong Lanxin glanced behind her, disappointment showing in her eyes.
"There is no prince, only the princess. Whatever you want to say is the same as what I say."
"Oh!" Although Murong Lanxin said this, there was still disappointment on her face.
"Are you remembering something now?" An Qingran asked directly.
"Don't you know it wasn't me who did it?" After a night, Murong Lanxin finally figured it out.
Regarding this matter, I am just a scapegoat. But who made me take the blame?
Last night she was frightened by a thought of her own, because after she told the truth, the Queen Mother left in such a hurry that in her eyes it even looked like she was escaping.
But if it was the Queen Mother, then I really would have no chance of survival.
These people were so scary, especially the woman in front of her who was a few years younger than her. She was like a devil. She must have suspected something a long time ago, so she fell into her trap. The hateful thing was that she was completely innocent.
What should she do?
The Queen Mother would never come to save herself.
So, she kept staring at An Qingran blankly, she was hesitating.
"I gave you a chance. If you didn't tell me, I would never come here again. You know what the result would be." An Qingran said calmly.
She had a hunch, a bold hypothesis, so she needed to get some information to prove her guess.
And she was sure that Murong Lanxin would provide it to her.
So, she looked at her calmly.
Murong Lanxin finally spoke: "I can ask you, but you have to protect my safety. If you can't protect my life, why should I help you."
"You have no choice. Obviously, your master has abandoned you. You know this better than I do. If you tell us and we catch her, then you still have a chance to survive. As for asking me to promise you now, to be honest, I can't do it with my ability, so I won't lie to you and make a useless promise."
After she finished speaking, she stood there with her arms folded, waiting for Murong Lanxin's answer.
Murong Lanxin snorted: "You clearly know that I was wronged, but you are so cruel. I really underestimated you."
An Qingran sighed: "Whether I am cruel or not is one thing, but Princess Lanxin, you are too careless. You may be regarded as the real murderer. So, are you really not going to say anything?"
"Okay, I'll tell you. However, there is no mastermind behind me. I don't even know what's going on with the things on my clothes. Actually, there are many people who have access to my clothes. I've told the emperor and the prince, but I don't know if they have investigated. If they did, they should be able to find out something."
"The Queen Mother did not stop the investigation, but she said she was very disappointed with this matter. She said that she treated you well, but she didn't expect that you couldn't marry the prince and turned your love into hatred. She said that she would leave you alone and let us come and interrogate you."
"Empress Dowager..." Murong Lanxin's eyes were straight, and there was a hint of hatred in them. It seemed that the Queen Dowager had abandoned her, so she would not hide anything from her. She could not help but say bitterly, "When I went to see the prince, the Queen Dowager specially gave me two pieces of jewelry. They were both her old jewelry and very valuable..."
As he said that, he took it off and handed it to An Qingran.
An Qingran went to smell it, but there was no smell of castanea.
"Yes, the imperial physician has checked it, and the smell is not here, so you can't find any evidence." Murong Lanxin sighed, "I'm not sure if the queen mother is the one behind it, so I'm afraid I can't help you."
"Then your request to save your life just now was too frivolous, wasn't it?"
"Yes, I really want to live." Murong Lanxin said, turned around, leaned against the railing and slid to the ground. She sat there, not caring how dirty the place was. "If it's really the Queen Mother, you have to be careful."
"Yes, but we can't figure out why she did this."
"Power." Murong Lanxin spat out two words, "She is not as detached as she looks. In fact, she has a strong desire for power. When Concubine Xian was in power before, she was very angry and went to the emperor in person to complain. As a result, you were in power again. The Queen Mother has been unwilling to accept it. Maybe this is the reason."
"She just controls the six palaces. Has she always been thinking about having no descendants in the six palaces? Isn't that Dongze's sorrow?" An Qingran said dimly.
Murong Lanxin looked back at her and said, "You... forget it. If I die, I deserve it. I shouldn't have any unreasonable expectations."
An Qingran looked at her frail background. Murong Shu didn't show up at the moment, and the Queen Mother wouldn't care about her. She was really a pitiful abandoned child.
"Be careful." An Qingran did not stay long.
An Qingran went back and told Dongfang Jin what Murong Lanxin said. After listening to it, Dongfang Jin didn't speak for a long time. He sat there with a calm face. Finally, he said: "Power, just the power of the harem, is it worth her to resort to such means?"
"Yes." An Qingran thought it was ridiculous. The six palaces were all trivial matters. How could she be willing to be the housekeeper? Besides, even if she was not in power, who in the harem would not listen to her? Her words were more useful than the golden seal and treasure book.
Could it really be the reason I guessed?
But she didn't dare say it.
"Qingqing, have you thought of anything?"
"I wonder if the Queen Mother attacked you and the Queen because the Emperor is not her biological son?" An Qingran finally said it out. She said this because the Queen Mother gave her the same feeling as her grandmother. She was puzzled at first as to why her grandmother disliked the eldest son's family so much. When she found out the reason later, everything seemed reasonable.
"What?" Dongfang Jin was also frightened by her words. He looked at her, "How is it possible? My father only has one brother left now, the half brother, Prince Shou. Could it be that Prince Shou is her biological son, and my father is not?"
An Qingran didn't say anything, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
That sadness was for the innocent Queen Yun. If all this was true, then Queen Yun was the most innocent one. Why didn't the Queen Mother kill the Emperor, but only targeted the Crown Prince and the Queen?
What was it that stopped her from continuing to lurk for so many years?
She really couldn't understand it.
If your guess is correct, then it is easy to check.
"But I checked, and the maids and nannies who served the empress dowager back then are nowhere to be found. Naturally, the maids who were there when the empress dowager gave birth are also not there."
"No, there is at least one left." An Qingran said very affirmatively.
Dongfang Jin's eyes lit up: "Yes, at least there is one left."
The emperor's condition still did not improve, but became more serious. For so many days, he told himself to forget Yun'er for the sake of the prince, but he didn't expect Yun'er to appear in his dream and tear apart all his disguises. In addition, the queen mother didn't like him as a son. Why? What did he do wrong? Why did he harm Yun'er and Jin'er?
Boundless self-blame gripped Yun Qidi's heart, making it impossible for him to free himself.
So people from the Imperial Hospital came to find An Qingran.
They thought An Qingran was a miracle, and as long as she was there, everything could be solved.
After An Qingran examined Emperor Yunqi, her conclusion was the same as that of the imperial doctors, so the prescription did not change. After An Qingran left, Dongfang Jin stayed with Emperor Yunqi. She didn't know what the father and son were talking about. She just felt heavy. If Emperor Yunqi continued to be so depressed, his body would soon be broken. She didn't want to make Dongfang Jin sad again.
Shouwang Mansion.
Lou Wanyue was sitting in the Lanyue Pavilion, gazing at the pool of spring water outside the pavilion. On the pool, mandarin ducks and colorful swans were playing in pairs, and there were lush lotus leaves. When the wind blew, all the lotus leaves in the pond lowered their heads, revealing the wild ducks hiding inside, and a few ducklings came out. The water birds suddenly dived into the water and disappeared in an instant. After a long time, they came out from another place, shook the feathers on their heads, and ran away again.
Lou Wanyue pulled up a smile upon seeing this. She was wearing a moon-white dress with colorful butterflies playing with daffodils today. She sat there quietly, as if she was a painting. The butterflies on the skirt looked like they could spread their wings and fly away at any time. Her long hair was like black clouds, and a white jade phoenix hairpin with a pearl in it was inserted in the corner of her hair. It matched the plain white clothes on her body very well, and she looked extremely refreshing.
The smile she just had just caught Dongfang Run's eye. He was strolling leisurely, but he took in her beauty. He felt a stir in his heart, not knowing whether he should go closer.
Dongfang Ruoxue was also walking over. Seeing the scene in front of her, Wan Er asked, "What are you guys singing about?"
Lou Wanyue was startled and just saw the brother and sister approaching. She glanced at Dongfang Run, who was still wearing a white shirt today, and the jade pendants on his waist made crisp sounds when he walked. The crisp sounds matched the beat of Lou Wanyue's heart and her face turned even redder.
Dongfang Ruoxue smiled when she saw this: "Are you still shy? But it's so interesting that I can't figure it out."
Dongfang Run said calmly: "You guys chat."
Having said that, he left.
Looking at his figure, a sense of loss flashed across Lou Wanyue's eyes.
Dongfang Ruoxue sighed: "Did I come at the wrong time? But it's strange that you two really treat each other with respect."
Lou Wanyue smiled. They were only a little more familiar than strangers. If Dongfang Ruoxue knew how they really got along, she probably wouldn't describe it as treating each other with respect, but rather as treating each other with ice.
Especially recently, he seemed to have something on his mind. Although he didn't say it, she could feel that when he was in the room, his soul flew away somewhere.
