Rebirth: Raising an Emperor as a Wife

Fortunately, all the ladies present were ladies, and it was not too deliberate to please them.

But Jing Yi has always behaved politely, and it is hard to see what he thinks.

The eighth princess has been following Jing Yi's side, looking at this group of people, muttering in a low voice, the warmth and coldness of human beings are not as good as before.

In the following time, the garden became more and more lively, singing and dancing rhythms, poetry, calligraphy, chess and paintings appeared in turn, and the noble ladies seemed to want to show off their talents one by one.Seeing Queen Xue's high interest, Jing Yi and Xiao Ba had no choice but to accompany her.

Before I knew it, it was dusk.In autumn, the days are not as long as in summer, and the sky has already darkened after dinner, with the night wind blowing, there is a faint coolness.

Xue Yao guarded the outside of the palace for a while, not daring to leave. At this time, his hungry stomach was croaking non-stop, but listening to the laughter and laughter inside, he didn't seem to want to stop immediately. He was thinking about whether to go to have a meal first. When he came back, he suddenly heard a shrill scream from the front, which made his hair stand on end.

The prince's guards at the gate also heard it, looking at each other and hesitating whether to go and see.Turning his head, he saw that the sixth prince's guards had already rushed out, so they naturally followed behind, not to be outdone.

Because of Concubine Chen's matter, Xue Yao has been extremely sensitive to ghosts and gods recently. When he heard the direction of the scream, his intuition was not very good, so he rushed out to the gazebo.

When he arrived, there was no one around, the night wind was bleak, the branches of locust tree beside the pavilion were swaying in the wind like ghosts, and there was a figure swaying straight on the corner of the eaves outside the pavilion .If it wasn't for the off-white clothes that the figure was wearing, he would almost have thought it was a branch of locust tree growing beside it.

Seeing this scene, Xue Yao's heart was half cold.

Several guards of the prince arrived after him. They rushed over, but they were a little surprised when they found this guy stopped there. Then they followed his gaze and saw the swaying figure, They were all startled, and a timid man shouted loudly, "Who, what."

"Go and have a look," greeted boldly.

What I saw was a female corpse swinging, with long hair half covering her face and wearing a thin underclothes, just like the hanged ghosts in the story, swaying with the wind, in this half-dark place In the light, it looks terrible.

No one dared to step forward to see who the dead person was.

"Hurry up and inform His Highness and Empress Dowager."

In the end, it was the bold one who spoke, and someone quickly trotted to Ciyuan Palace.

Xue Yao felt weird, and felt that there was something wrong. It shouldn't be as simple as just killing one person, but he didn't know what would happen next, so he stood there frowning and waited, but as the first The guards who saw the body had no intention of letting him go.Now we are waiting to see how the queen arranges it.

Just as he was in a daze, he heard voices coming from the palace road. There were many people, but he couldn't hear clearly. He listened intently, and there was only a faint female voice calling something eagerly, and there were also the footsteps of the palace people running wildly, accompanied by the sound of drinking. rebuke.

Xue Yao was about to go over to have a look, but just as he took a step forward, he was stopped by someone, "You are not allowed to go."

A big man with a dark face blocked his way.

As for the guards around the prince, he only had some impressions of Chang Gui, but he really didn't have the slightest impression of this person.

"You are the first person to find the corpse. You are not allowed to leave the scene. You can only leave after the empress arrives and ask questions."

What this person said was straightforward, but Xue Yao didn't take it seriously. The distance between them was only three or four steps.

Xue Yao raised his chin towards the noisy place over there, "Brother, did you hear the voice over there? I think it may have something to do with this corpse, maybe it's the murderer, or the person who discovered the corpse one step earlier than us is I'm going to run away, if you get caught, the empress will definitely reward you a lot, why don't you go over and have a look?"

The black-faced man pondered for a while, as if there was such a reason, he turned his head and made eye contact with his companions, who nodded slightly before agreeing to Xue Yao's proposal.

"Let's go together, and everyone who deserves credit will receive the reward together."

Only then did several people walk up the palace road.I don't know if it was because of fear or deliberation, or because I forgot, and no one wanted to stay and guard the corpse.

At the time when the palace road was in a hurry, there was a court lady sitting on the ground trembling and crying, and a large group of people surrounded a sedan chair. After Xue Yao listened carefully, her heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea.

This is the queen mother's sedan chair.

But isn't the queen mother having a cold and resting?How did you come here?

Not long afterward, Imperial Physician Qiu was dragged over by someone.

The old man was out of breath and ran over. Seeing this scene, he didn't dare to rest. He separated from the crowd and walked into the crowd.

But after a while, the crowd dispersed, and Xue Yao finally saw the scene inside.

The sedan chair that the Empress Dowager was riding on was tilted to one side, and the person fell backward along the tilted side of the sedan chair. I don't know where it was twisted. The pain caused cold sweat to break out on the forehead, and there were a few ouches from the mouth from time to time. It was really embarrassing. extreme.

Under her body, Xueniang didn't feel any better, she was also panting and sweating profusely.He strenuously supported his body in an extremely awkward posture, supporting most of the Queen Mother's body.

It turned out that half of the queen mother's body fell on Xueniang's body when she fell, and it was fortunate that Xueniang blocked it, otherwise the queen mother would have fallen down, and she might have died on the spot.

Physician Qiu came over to take a look, and hurriedly asked the queen mother to help Xueniang to come out, but when Xueniang moved a little, the queen mother's face became ugly, and the wailing became louder, obviously the wound was involved.

Xueniang struggled to support her, and she kept saying, "Your servant is fine, the imperial doctor, please show the queen mother first, and see where her old man is hurting."

As a last resort, Imperial Physician Qiu had no choice but to take a look at the Empress Dowager first, and after confirming that there were no wounds, her complexion turned a little pale.

Seeing the Empress Dowager's expression, she was clearly in extreme pain, but there was no wound on her body, the only possibility was a bone injury.

Imperial Physician Qiu asked in a low voice, "Queen Mother, where is your pain?"

The queen mother was in pain, her face was full of pain, her words became weaker and weaker, she hummed twice, "chest, chest pain."

Xue Niang responded below, "Just now when the sedan chair was tilted, the queen mother fell down, I don't know where she was hurt."

He hurt his chest, so he didn't dare to check it here, and it's not easy to remove his shirt under the watchful eyes of all the people. The imperial doctor Qiu made a difficult case, and the queen mother couldn't move, so he couldn't diagnose and treat here.There is no one who dares to make up his mind, and these people are afraid of taking some responsibility, and their heads are in danger.
