Chapter 12: The old situation is difficult

"I'm not sure about this, but I think she should be aware of some poison." Lan Ruoyan replied conservatively.

"My poisonous people are all poisonous gentlemen. I'm worried that they will be selfish. You let Biyun secretly examine the real cause of Ye Fei's death. I suspect that she is poisoned. Xuanyuan Chen whispered, with a solemn look, as if explaining a very important thing.

"As long as you can help the prince." Lan Ruoyan nodded.

"Now that people are dead in the royal palace, let's stay unlucky. Let's go to live in another courtyard for a few days." Xuanyuan Chen suddenly changed his words.

Huh? Go to another hospital at this time? What if the Empress Dowager is suspicious? Lan Ruoyan was confused, didn't Nangong Jinzhi die? She was so scared that she didn't even dare to live in her yard.

"This matter is simple, just to say that you are not feeling well and go out to recover." Xuanyuanchen smiled gently, "Stay in the royal palace, I'm afraid it will sulk you."

"Why do you want me to go out at this time?" Lan Ruoyan refused, and always felt that Xuanyuanchen suddenly made such a decision with ulterior motives. Wait, he just said that his business is about to start... Is he going to open himself up in case of accidents?! You don't want me to be in danger, do you?

"Sang Er, you are so smart that you can't hide anything from you." Xuanyuanchen was helpless to see her like this. She had guessed the reason why he asked her to leave, and it was useless to hide it.

"I don't want to go!" Lan Ruoyan said angrily, "I have never come here and know that you have that mind. I have been waiting for the day when you succeed. It's almost this day, but you want me to run away. I'm not willing to do anything. I can rely on you. This is absolutely not good!"

"Sang'er, you--" Xuanyuan Chen listened to her and knew that she didn't want to be alone, but he didn't want anything to happen to her because of herself. He would rather bleed than see her hurt. Only when you are well can I do what I want to do at ease, Sonny, do you understand?

Looking down at Xuanyuanchen's hanging match, she didn't say anything for a long time. Xuanyuanchen wanted to force the palace. Does that mean that Xuanyuan Che was really dying... Except for Xuanyuanchen's comfort, all she thought of was Murong Qingqing. Should we tell her the news? But if so, it will embarras Xuanyuanchen.

"Your Majesty, I'll stay outside for a few days." Lan Ruoyan finally nodded.

"Hmm." Xuanyuan Chen smiled with satisfaction and chattered for a moment, then got up and went back to Songtang. There are still a lot of government affairs waiting for him to deal with, and he will also start planning Ye Fei's funeral, right? Take this opportunity to eradicate the power of the Nangong family!

After saying goodbye to Xuanyuanchen, Lan Ruoyan turned around and ordered Biyun to investigate the cause of Ye Fei's death and let Biyou pack her luggage for herself, but at this time, she slipped out, changed into actionable clothes and led a horse to the outskirts of the city.

When she went out of the door, someone came to tell Xuanyuanchen, "Your Majesty, the princess has left the house."

Zhu Bi, who was giving instructions, paused for a moment, and then returned to nature. Xuanyuan Chen said in a low voice, "Lian, you saw that the princess was fascinated by medicine in Fahua Temple that day. Why didn't you save her?"

"What the prince ordered is to observe the mother's actions, and other subordinates dare not do much." The ripple answered flatly without a trace of panic.

"Oh, what a cold-hearted girl. Well, you did it right. You and Yun follow the Empress to ensure the safety of the Empress. When the ripple is in the dark, she is called the "ice beauty". Her appearance is better than that of Rosemary, but she is not very good at pleasing men, otherwise he will first consider letting her go to Xuanyuan Che's side.

Her tracking skills are also unmatched. It is also a disaster to put her around a man like her. After Xiaodie's death, she will be placed next to Lan Ruoyan.

"Yes." The ripple retreated.

At this time, Lan Ruoyan had just left the city gate. She went all the way, and the road became more and more remote. After the mountains and rivers were restored, she finally saw an elegant bamboo building. He tied the horse to the door, and Lan Ruoyan took the door lightly.

"Who is it?" The boy's voice came from inside.

"Sheng'er, it's me." Lan Ruoyan replied in a warm voice.

"Ah! Auntie!" Xuanyuansheng opened the door excitedly, but he hadn't seen him for a few months. Xuanyuansheng's height was a little taller, but his face was still childish. Lan Ruoyan smiled and came forward to hug him, but was dodged by the latter.

She was puzzled, and Xuanyuansheng blushed and said, "Mencius said that men and women are not close to each other, and it is also polite."

"Ah, it turns out that you will be shy when you are old." As soon as Lan Ruoyan saw it, she couldn't help laughing. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "When Shenger grows up, she can protect her mother."

"Hmm. Yes! My uncle also taught me swordsmanship!" Xuanyuansheng said happily, and the little boy's pride came out.

"Sheng'er's swordsmanship will definitely be more powerful than your uncle in the future. Hey, where's your mother?" Lan Ruoyan looked into the room, as if there was no one else.

"My mother accompanied my uncle's friend to go shopping. I guess she will come back later. Auntie, come first for tea." Xuan Yuansheng sensiblely introduced Lan Ruoyan into the house, and he actually made a cup of tea. Lan Ruoyan saw him like this and felt inexplicably sad. He was originally the prince of a country, and he stretched out his hands and opened his mouth, but now he has become a child of this ordinary family... Alas.

After taking Xuanyuansheng and carefully handed it over to the tea, Lan Ruoyan smiled happily and said, "Sheng'er must be an upright man."

"Hmm!" Xuanyuansheng nodded.

"What was Sheng'er doing just now?" Lan Ruoyan asked.

"Look at the book." Xuanyuansheng replied,

"Then you can read a book again. Your aunt will be here alone waiting for your mother to come back. It's not good to delay your studies. Lan Ruoyan smiled kindly.

"Mother said that it's okay to know some of the four books and five classics, and you don't have to read too carefully and professionally." Xuanyuansheng shook his head. He went to the chair next to him and sat down. He blinked his eyes and looked at Lan Ruoyan, "Auncle, how is my father?"

When his body stiffened, Lan Ruoyan asked, "shenger, didn't your mother tell you?"

"My mother didn't allow me to ask, and my uncle also asked me not to ask. I haven't seen my father for a long time. I miss him so well... Auntie, why did I call him father in the past, and now I should call him father? And Xiao Li, where are Caixia and the others? There are a lot of questions in the child's heart. The family can't say it. He can only ask his aunt. Maybe she knows it.

"Sheng'er--" How will she answer? Lan Ruoyan only felt that the five flavors were mixed. How should she answer?

"Sheng'er! Who's here?" Murong Qingqing's voice sounded at the right time. As soon as Xuanyuansheng heard her voice, he quickly got up and went out to pick her in.

"Mom, let's see who it is!" He happily pulled Murong Qingqing in.

"It's you--" Murong Qingqing's original gentle smile froze for a moment after seeing Lan Ruoyan. Think about it, she will come to find her reason. Is it that something has happened to the emperor?

Thinking of this, Murong Qingqing quickly stepped forward and pulled Lan Ruoyan's hand and walked out. As soon as Ashma, who was holding a dozen things behind her, came out, she shouted, "Sister Qingqing, is there a guest?"

But at this moment, Murong Qingqing has no spare time to pay attention to Ashma. Now her whole mind is on the man in the palace. What is he now? Is it that his condition has deteriorated, or that King Chen has won the throne and killed him!

After walking upstairs and going to her room, she closed the door tightly, turned around and looked directly at Lan Ruoyan and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Seeing Murong Qingqing's nervous look, Lan Ruoyan also guessed 70% or 80% of what she was thinking, smiled and said, "Didn't my sister already think about it?"

"I thought you were here to tell me about that person. But what's going on with him? I can only prove it from you. Murong Qingqing bit his lip, grabbed Lan Ruoyan's shoulder tightly, and asked, "Tell me, how is he?"

"Well, I guessed right. My sister still misses him." Seeing her like this, Lan Ruoyan sighed helplessly and said, "If you really can't let go, go back and look at him. Maybe... This is the last time."

"...Sure enough, that's it." With such an answer, Murong Qingqing had already thought about it. From the day she left the palace and lived in seclusion, she knew that one day, she would hear the news of his death.

"Sister, are you going?" Lan Ruoyan stared at Murong Qingqing and asked softly.

"Let me think about it." Murong Qingqing replied weakly. She didn't know how to face him, so she met him. He was no longer in his heart. And the throne has nothing to do with her son. What's more, she doesn't want her son to go back to the place full of intrigue, that is, the relationship between her grandparents and grandchildren, which can't tolerate a word "affection" at all.

"If you don't go now, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." Lan Ruoyan thought that if Murong Qingqing wants to go to the palace to see Xuanyuan Che, she will definitely help her. The relationship between men and women is still deep and difficult to strand. What's more, Murong Qingqing and Xuanyuan Che have been married for so many years?

"But... if Shenger knows about him, I'm afraid his life will be ruined!" If only one son and husband can be saved, Murong Qingqing must have a son. He is still so young, how can he bear too much hatred and hatred?

"Sister can go alone." Lan Ruo's flue.

"Let me think about it. I'll tell you tomorrow that you stay today." Murong Qingqing looked up at Lan Ruoyan with a polite smile.

She had never seen Murong Qingqing smile so reluctantly, but she knew that Murong Qingqing had another deep meaning to stay here for the night, so she nodded and agreed.

At dinner, there was only her, Murong Qingqing, Xuanyuansheng, and an alien woman. I heard Murong Qingqing introduce that the woman's name was Ashma. The name made her feel familiar, but she couldn't remember where she heard it for a moment.

After dinner, Murong Qingqing sent Lan Ruoyan to the guest room. The two talked about the past and turned off the lights when it was almost time. Murong Qingqing changed her clothes and went out of the window with Lan Ruoyan and rode to the city overnight.

When the gate of the palace opened, Lan Ruoyan and Murong Qingqing entered the palace with the token of the regent's palace and went straight to the emperor's bedroom. At this time, it was not yet dawn, and the emperor had been unconscious because he was sick in bed, and the servants were probably lazy. When they entered, there were only three or four eunuchs and maids guarding the bedside.

After putting those people down, the two came to the bedside, and Murong Qingqing opened the curtain with trembling hands. Xuanyuan Che's two woods were closed, his breath was weak, and he lay motionless. Because he had not eaten for a long time, his body was already skinny.

"Your Majesty..." Finally, Murong Qingqing couldn't help crying and clenched Xuanyuan's hand. His hand was not as warm and thick as before, and instead it seemed to be cold and almost lost its vitality.

At this time, Lan Ruoyan chose to avoid it. She knew that Murong Qingqing must have a lot to say to Xuanyuan Che. Whether he could hear it or not, Murong Qingqing didn't ask for much. As long as her husband loved her well and her son grew up healthily. But later, these became extravagant hopes.

Xuanyuan Che, who was in a coma, faintly seemed to hear someone crying, a very familiar voice. Brother Xuan, do you hear me? Brother Xuan--"Ah, it's Qingqing! He struggled in the dark nest and wanted to get closer to this sound, but found that the more he struggled, the more difficult it was.

Qingqing, save me - he kept shouting, and when he thought there was no hope, the heat came to his hand, which made him wake up!

Suddenly opened her eyes. What she noticed was Murong Qingqing's tearful and purulent face. She was still crying, as if she didn't find that he woke up. She opened her mouth with difficulty and found that her throat was very dry, and she could only make a weak sound, "Qingqing-"

"Brother Xuan!" Seeing Xuanyuan clear open his eyes, Murong Qingqing shouted in surprise.

"Qingqing, why are you crying?" Xuanyuan Che looked at Murong Qingqing doubtfully and asked, "Have you been wronged?"

"No, no, I'm just too happy to see the emperor wake up." Was it crying with joy? Murong Qingqing thought, and her answer voice was mixed with sobs. In these days when Xuanyuan Che was in a coma, too many things had happened, and she didn't dare to think about it again.

Xuan Yuan Che looked at Murong Qingqing, who was supposed to be a phoenix, and was a little puzzled. He asked in a low voice, "Qingqing, has anything happened?"

"No, nothing." Murong Qingqing wiped away her tears and tried her best to pretend to answer with a normal look. She secretly took Xuanyuan's pulse, which seemed weak. I'm afraid that time is running out. Since everything has become a for sure, she doesn't want Xuanyuan Che to die with regret and unwillingness.

looked around and didn't find anyone else. It was not only a little strange. He asked, "Qingqing, why didn't Princess Die come with you?"

When he saw Xuanyuan Che looking around, Murong Qingqing thought he was looking for Shenger and was worried about how to answer, but who would have expected that what he asked was the witch! Her sadness seemed to be frozen by this text, and her choked abruptly.

Seeing that she had not answered for a long time, Xuanyuan asked again, "Where is Princess Die? Why didn't she come?"

"Brother Xuan, she--" Murong Qingqing wanted to say that she would not come back, but suddenly there was a soft voice of rosemary from the gate, "Your Majesty, my concubine is here!"

"Dieer!" Xuanyuan Che was surprised to see that Murong Qingqing's heart was even colder when he saw him like this.

"Your Majesty, do you miss your concubine?" Rosemary approached the bedside with a seductive smile, but was stopped by Murong Qingqing.

"Queen, after a long separation, why did you suddenly come back today?" Rosemary asked with a smile and did not move forward.

"You witch! Isn't it enough to harm the emperor? You will also kill Shenger. What can you get by doing so much?!" Murong Qingqing asked harshly. After living in seclusion, she thought a lot. How could she think of the purpose of Rosemary doing this? Rosemation is the emperor's favorite. What do you want? If she gives birth to a prince, I'm afraid it won't be difficult to bring down her, the queen and prince. Why did she do such a little profit?

"Qingqing, what are you talking about--" Xuanyuan Che listened to the meaning of this, and he understood it all, but he also didn't understand why Roseberry wanted to do this.

"Your Majesty, do you believe what the Empress said?" Rosemary asked Xuanyuan Che with a little grievance, as if she was complaining.

Seeing Roseberry like this, Xuanyuan Che's heart softened and said to Murong Qingqing, "Qingqing, you let Princess Die come here first."

"Your Majesty! She is the meticulous work of King Chen!" How can you believe her?! Murong Qingqing turned around and said urgently, "She entered the palace to murder you!"

"Oh! Chen Wang's work has been made up by the Empress! Since King Chen wants to be unfavorable to the emperor, why does Princess Chen help you go back to the palace? Rosemary sneered and asked.

"How did you know that she sent me back?" Murong Qingqing looked at Rosemary in surprise. She didn't know how Rosemary knew that they had returned to the palace, but she still said firmly, "She is different from King Chen!"

"What's the difference? Ask her in person!" Rosemary turned her head and shouted out of the door, "Princess, tell me, are you the same as King Chen?"

As her voice fell, Lan Ruoyan walked in with a pale face. She gritted her teeth and looked at Murong Qingqing and said, "Empress, Concubine Die is right. King Chen and I are husband and wife, and naturally we are husband and wife."

"Sister Yaner, what are you talking about!?" Murong Qingqing looked at Lan Ruoyan in disbelief. Was it true that she believed the wrong person? She was confused for a moment and relaxed her guard.

"Madam, you can get out of the way now." Rosemary stretched out her hand to attack Murong Qingqing.

Although Murong Qingqing dodged quickly, her arm was still scratched out of blood by the sharp nails. The rosemary nails were poisonous. She felt that the poison invaded her whole body in an instant from her arm. She quickly sealed several big holes on her body to temporarily protect her heart. She held the edge of the bed with a breath. She looked at Lan Ruoyan in pain and asked, "For What... why did you lie to me?"

smiled coldly and said sarcastically, "If you blame yourself for being too stupid, you will believe it a second time if you are cheated once!"

Rose! You killed your sister!" Lan Ruoyan was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help Murong Qingqing.
