Wen Xiangyanyu

Prince Jing strode into the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor was still in a coma. With a veil in her hand, Yun gently wiped the sweat off his forehead. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she raised her eyes to meet Prince Jing's suppressed eyes of anger and suspicion. She stood up slowly, Ask quietly: "At this hour, why did Prince Jing come here?"

Prince Jing ignored her, and only asked the genius doctor he brought along with those few imperial doctors to come forward and carefully check the emperor's condition.

Yun Shi didn't make a sound, and looked at those people coldly, without moving the slightest expression.

A quarter of an hour later, the miracle doctor exchanged opinions with other imperial physicians, and reported to King Jing: "Your Majesty's situation is similar to yesterday, and there is no improvement."

There was a bit of hesitation in his words. They had given the emperor continuous injections and medicines for several days, but the emperor didn't seem to be getting better. It stands to reason that even if he was indeed poisoned too deeply, it shouldn't be the case.

Prince Jing's face became increasingly ugly.

Wen Ying and Ling Qiyan walked in together, after hearing this, Wen Ying suddenly asked the palace servants in the bedroom: "What kind of incense is lit in the incense burner now?"

"Hui, if you go back to your highness, it's just the most common spice in the palace..." the palace servant who was named by him replied tremblingly.

Wen Ying paced over, took off the lid of the incense burner with his own hands, and ordered: "Bring lye."

Seeing the lye that turned bright red again, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Ling Qiyan narrowed her pupils fiercely, and turned to look at Yun Shi, but saw that she was still calm as usual, as if everything that happened in front of her had nothing to do with her.

Prince Jing's face turned pale in an instant, and he asked sharply, "Why is this happening?! Why is the spice in this incense burner still poisonous?!"

All the palace servants and imperial physicians who were serving in the bedroom knelt on the ground, unable to answer a word.

Who would have thought that after Yu Zhaoyuan poisoned the emperor, the spices in the incense burner would be poisoned again!

Not to mention them, even Prince Jing himself would have never imagined that someone would dare to act so boldly and recklessly, and do the same thing a second time under the eyes of everyone.

It is precisely because of this that no one would really take alkaline water to test the poison every day, which gave people an opportunity to take advantage of.

Prince Jing turned his sharp gaze to Yun, and asked in a cold voice, "Concubine Shu, this servant named Wang De is the person next to you."

Wang De bowed and knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Yun Shi glanced at him lightly and said, "Yes."

"He said that you had retreated with Yu Zhaoyuan many times to discuss things in secret, and saw you moving this incense burner, can you admit it?"

Yun raised her eyes, and her calm gaze swept over Ling Qiyan, then Wen Ying, and finally landed somewhere in the void, and said softly, "Admit it."

The atmosphere in the hall seemed to freeze for a moment, and everyone held their breath.

The anger in Prince Jing's words could no longer be suppressed, and he raised his voice: "So you have a part in murdering His Majesty?! These days, His Majesty has been using antidote but has not improved. Is it because you are still poisoning him?!"

Yun's expression became even lighter: "Yes."

Prince Jing was furious: "Your Majesty treats you so well, why do you want to avenge your kindness and murder His Majesty?!"

"Revenge for kindness?" Yun's sideways glanced at Prince Jing, and there was a trace of contempt in her voice, "That's what Prince Jing said."

"Aren't you repaying your kindness with revenge?! Your Majesty didn't pay attention to the deception you once did. He accepted you into the palace and made you a concubine. He had no defense against you, but you took the opportunity to poison him and kill him. You Waiting for a woman with a poisonous heart, to this day, she still doesn't know how to repent!"

"I don't need to repent. This is what he owes me and the Yun family. I'm just a little regretful. You guys found out too early. After a while, His Majesty's life will never come back."

"How dare you!"

Yun Shi closed her eyes indifferently, and ignored him again.

After that, no matter how much King Jing tried to interrogate him, Yun still refused to speak again. In the end, Wen Ying ordered that he be detained first and left for disposal.

Yun Shi was escorted away by the imperial guards, Ling Qiyan watched her walk into the night with her shoulders straightened step by step, just like she walked into this bedroom at dusk.

Ling Qiyan's mind was in a trance for a moment, and he turned his eyes away.

Three quarters of ugly time.

The heavy palace door was pushed open from the outside, and in the dark and unlit hall, Yun sat casually on the footrest, humming an out-of-tune tune, intermittently, like weeping.

She didn't raise her eyes when she heard footsteps.

Wen Ying stopped and did not approach. The eunuch behind him held a three-foot white silk in his hand.

The eunuch lowered his head and reminded Yun in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is coming to see you off for the last time."

After humming a piece of music, Yun slowly raised his head and looked at Wen Ying with a half-smile: "Why isn't my biological son here to see me off?"

"He's asleep." Wen Ying said indifferently.

"Your Highness didn't even interrogate me, so you're going to send me on my way? How are you going to explain to Prince Jing after this, or does Your Highness already know what I did and why?"

"No one needs to know what you have done."

Yun didn't take it seriously: "Really? But I'm a bit curious about what your highness has done, your highness, can I ask you a few questions?"

Wen Ying looked at her coldly, and for a long time, told the people beside him: "Stand back."

The eunuch put down the tray in his hand, bowed and exited the hall, and helped them close the hall door.

Yun sat up straight, thought about it seriously, and asked: "Wang De, is it His Highness who put him beside me?"

Wen Ying didn't answer, but Yun already knew the answer.

She smiled softly: "If that's the case, it turns out that His Highness has already made arrangements..."

Breathing out lightly, she said slowly: "Yu Zhaoyuan said that when she gave birth, the empress designed her to have a dystocia, and the servants who waited on her went to invite the imperial doctor, but they couldn't find anyone. The rotating imperial physicians all went to Ningshou Palace, she had nowhere to ask for help, but an old eunuch who knew some medical skills from the internal servants went to her palace and saved her life by chance, after that the old eunuch was kept by her side , and became her confidant."

"After I entered the palace, she actually took the initiative to please me and became my sister. She didn't have deep thoughts. Many of the old eunuch's ideas came from her, including giving me the poison. She hated The person in question is actually the empress, she thought that I would use the poison to deal with the empress just like her, but I used it on the emperor instead."

"She is also a fool. At the beginning, after listening to the old eunuch, she approached me and wanted to use my hand to deal with the queen. Later, she was coaxed by me to really give up on me. When she found out that the poisoned person was the emperor, she also helped me hide it. , didn’t confess me until death, making others think that she wanted to poison the emperor.”

There seemed to be compassion in Yun's eyes, but she couldn't see it clearly in the dark night. She looked at Wen Ying and asked him again: "The old eunuch, was it also you who arranged for her?"

"His Royal Highness is really scheming. Her thoughts and mine are all calculated by you. You have determined that I want revenge, that I will agree to your proposal to enter the palace, and that as long as there is a chance, I want to To kill the emperor, all of these are in your plan, right?"

"If we can prescribe medicine to the emperor so smoothly without being discovered, we must have the secret help of His Highness behind the scenes, right?"

"That being the case, why did you let that Wang De expose me today? Why don't you just wait until the emperor is dead, so that you can inherit the throne logically? Presumably it was your acquiescence that Prince Jing suddenly brought a folk genius doctor to this other palace. , you just wanted to let people know that the emperor was poisoned, and you poisoned him with our hands but saved his life. Could it be that you are still concerned about your father-son relationship with him? The son who came back is indeed not bad, if you kill him, I am afraid that God will not be able to see it."

Yun Shi laughed again as he spoke, with more dismissive contempt in his words.

Wen Ying finally spoke, and answered her last question in a calm voice: "Because he thinks it's not good to kill the king and the father."

It is self-evident who this "he" refers to.

Yun was taken aback, and suddenly laughed loudly: "...So that's the case, it's so, His Royal Highness really impressed me, how can my son be so respected by His Royal Highness?"

She raised her eyes and looked at Wen Ying with sarcasm in her eyes: "I was not sure before, His Royal Highness arranged for me to enter the palace and gave me the secret recipe for infertility, not just to use my hands to deal with the emperor, You still want a brother you share with him, right? All these things have been under your control from the very beginning. "

"Gu didn't let you harm the sixth prince." Wen Yinghan reminded her.

Yun sneered: "So what if it hurts? Let Shen Ruyu see her three sons killing each other with her own eyes. There is nothing more joyful than this."

When it comes to trying to figure out people's minds, she's not bad at all. She's figured out what that lunatic Ling Qiyu would do when he was dying.

"If you want to blame, you can only blame the sixth prince for being Shen Ruyu's son because of his bad luck."

After she finished speaking, she shook her head slightly, and said, "Even if I didn't harm the sixth prince, will His Highness spare my life? No, from the day I entered the palace, it was destined to end like this."

"What's more, His Highness hates me too. I exchanged you with my son and let you live a hard life for 20 years. How could you not hate me as the culprit? You can't bear to touch him, so naturally you can only take revenge Me, from the very beginning, you never wanted me to live."

Wen Ying didn't deny it, and there was no ups and downs in his indifferent voice: "Qi Wu doesn't need a mother, we are enough for him."

Yun smiled sarcastically: "Does he know that you are such a gloomy person? Have you ever told him about these things you have done?"

Wen Ying said coldly: "Since more than 20 years ago, his affairs have nothing to do with you."

Yun Shi was startled, and closed his eyes: "Forget it, I didn't want to live anymore, I hope His Highness will always remember what I said today, and protect them both."

Wen Ying walked out of the hall, and the door slowly closed behind him, blocking the thin figure hanging from the beam.

The sticky spring day and night rain were overwhelming, Ling Qiyan stood under the steps holding an umbrella, and looked up at him in silence.

After looking at each other for a long time, Ling Qiyan stepped forward step by step, his throat rolling, and asked, "Is she dead?"

Those dark eyes looked at him: "Yes."

There was a moment of bewilderment in Ling Qiyan's eyes, and he quickly regained his composure: "...Oh."

Wen Ying took his hand: "Let's go."

They shared an umbrella and walked back side by side.

Ling Qiyan turned her head and whispered in Wen Ying's ear, "I can guess what you have done."

"I know."

"...Why have you been hiding it from me before? Because she is my cheap mother, are you afraid that I will be unhappy if I find out?"

Before Wen Ying could say anything, Ling Qiyan said first, "Silly scholar, no matter who she is, I'm always on your side, and you are not allowed to do this again in the future."

After a while, Wen Ying nodded lightly: "Okay."

Ling Qiyan felt relieved, and blinked her eyelashes stained with rain and mist: "I'm just a little curious, why does she hate the emperor so much?"

"crazy."

"crazy?"

Wen Ying's voice was low: "In the years when she was taken away by those bandits, she gave birth to four or five children, none of which survived, and she strangled each of them to death with her own hands."

Ling Qiyan's heart trembled: "...Really? Does the emperor know?"

"do not know."

King Jing and Princess Chang may or may not know about it, but after the emperor insisted on getting Na Yun's family into the palace, even if they knew about it, it was not easy to tell the emperor about such things.

They didn't expect that from the beginning to the end, Yun Shi was still the hysterical her that day in Xingqing Palace. The 20 years of inhuman life had already tortured her to such an extent that her mind changed drastically. She deliberately suppressed and hidden the resentment and hatred Hatred can only be vented on the emperor who ruined her family.

It was Wen Ying who calculated her mind and took advantage of her.

"Since when did she poison the emperor?"

"After giving birth to Qi Wu, she sent Qi Wu to Ningshou Palace, and started to drink the medicine in her bedroom. After coming to this other palace, she got even worse."

Ling Qiyan stopped asking. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say it out.

Wen Ying clenched his hand tightly.

Back in the bedroom, Ling Qiyan glanced at the time displayed on the chiming clock, it was almost Yin hour.

Wen Ying was being waited upon to wash and change clothes. Ling Qiyan sat cross-legged on the bed, and followed him with his eyes: "Before you deliberately ran away after I fell asleep, didn't you intend to let me know that you were going to send her on the road? I know Forget it, how will you explain it to Prince Jing when he asks about it tomorrow?"

Wen Ying walked back to the bed and sat down, curling a strand of his loose long hair with his fingers, and said calmly: "We'll talk about tomorrow's matter."

Ling Qiyan reminded him: "Prince Jing is definitely going to trouble you."

Mrs. Yun hasn't explained anything clearly yet, just such a white silk is gone, that Prince Jing already suspected Wen Ying, so he probably wouldn't be so easy to confuse.

But since Wen Ying didn't care about this, Ling Qiyan didn't say much.

Wen Ying said softly: "It's late, go to sleep."

Ling Qiyan didn't move, leaned forward, put his arms around Wen Ying's neck, leaned on his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice: "Poor scholar, I'm really uncomfortable."

"...I'm not sad, but I feel sorry for her, but she killed Xiao Liu, and she is not wronged."

Wen Ying caressed him on the back: "Don't think about it."

Lying down in Wen Ying's arms, Ling Qiyan never felt sleepy. He stuck it to Wen Ying's ear and said hesitantly: "I think that although she hates the emperor and wants to kill him, she still has some affection for the emperor. She is sure of that." It's also very contradictory."

"If she really has no old feelings for the emperor at all, even if she gave birth to Qi Wu for favor, she wouldn't care about him. She could kill him secretly like the children she gave birth to those bandits. She wanted to prevent Qi Wu from being poisoned. , and specially sent him to Ningshou Palace to be raised by the Empress Dowager, she is so crazy, if she had no affection for the Emperor, how could she care about the child she gave birth to for the Emperor."

Wen Ying said: "...Maybe."

The last thing Yun said before his death was that he wanted him to protect the two of them.

And the tune she was humming, he had heard her play it to the emperor.

But it's meaningless to say these again.

Wen Ying hugged him tightly and didn't remind Ling Qiyan. Now he also knows how to distinguish between love and love.

Ling Qiyan didn't say any more, closed his eyes, and finally said: "I'll take care of her funeral, I have to find a place to bury her."
