Hearing that Yan Li and Yan were late, Qin Wan's eyes flickered and he stepped aside.
Yuan Qing exited from the inner room, and soon, Yan Li and Yan Chi walked in from the outside together.
Today Yan Chi is still wearing a dark Chinese robe, while Yan Li usually wears a red robe, but today his red robe is embroidered with black dragon trim, which is a bit more solemn than his usual uniform.
I don't know if it was related to entering the palace to see the emperor, but others seemed much more solemn.
"Greetings to the emperor, greetings to the empress—"
The two saluted in turn, Yan Huai smiled and said, "Get up, it's hard for the two of you to visit the Empress Dowager together, the Empress Dowager has just woken up, and she doesn't recognize anyone right now..."
As soon as the words fell, the Queen Mother stretched out her hands towards Yan Chi and Yan Li, "Han'er? Lin'er?"
Seeing this, Yan Chi and Yan Li didn't move their brows, as if they were used to it, Yan Huai stood up from the bed, "Today's Chinese New Year, although the Empress Dowager's consciousness is not clear, you two will stay and talk with the Empress Dowager." Speaking of which, Yan Huai didn't look at Yan Li, but only looked at Yan Chi and said, "Yan Chi will come to Chongzheng Hall to find me later."
Yan Chi hurriedly responded, Yan Huai looked at Yan Li and said, "Did you go out to fool around or accompany your mother during the Chinese New Year last night?"
Yan Li has a reputation as a bully in the capital, Yan Huai knows it, and when asked this way, Yan Li smiled and said, "My Majesty, last night Yan Li stayed in the palace to honestly accompany mother."
Yan Huai nodded, "That's about the same."
As he spoke, he glanced at the Queen and the others, "Okay, since the Queen Mother is fine for the time being, don't let a room full of people crowd here, you all go back, and come and see it later in the evening."
Zhao Shuhua and Concubine Sugui saluted together, Yan Huai said again, "I will take a step first."
Yan Li and Yan Chi moved out of the way and cupped their fists together. Yan Huai walked two steps away, then turned to look at Qin Wan as if thinking of something, "Girl, you are here to watch the Empress Dowager take medicine. Come to the palace."
Qin Guan was slightly surprised, the Chongzheng Hall was the place where the emperor handled government affairs, the emperor just let Yanchi go, why did he let her go
Although he was puzzled, Qin Wan nodded and agreed.
Seeing this, Yan Huai left Shoukang Palace with Zhao Shuhua and his party just now.
As soon as Yan Huai left, Yan Li, who was a little more prudent than usual, suddenly let out a sigh of relief. He walked towards the bed while looking at Qin Wan, "Miss Nine, thanks to you for saving the imperial grandmother this time, seven My brother told me."
Seeing this, Nanny Chen smiled and said, "Hey, does His Highness Li recognize Miss Nine?"
Yan Li narrowed his eyes slightly with a smile, walked to the edge of the bed to sit down, and grabbed the Queen Mother's hand.
"We met at Prince Yu's birthday banquet. At that time, the nine girls were going north from Jinzhou, and they also went to Prince Yu's birthday celebration." Yan Li said it simply, hiding all the things that happened to him later.
After Yan Li finished speaking, he looked at Yan Chi again, "Seventh Brother knew Nine Girls earlier, Seventh Brother recognized Nine Girls when he went to celebrate his aunt's birthday. Where is the righteous granddaughter?"
Nanny Chen was surprised again, "Granddaughter?!"
Yan Li nodded with a smile, "That's right, Miss Nine recognized Anyang Hou and his wife as adoptive parents."
Nanny Chen was already grateful to Qin Wan for liking Qin Wan, but upon hearing this, she felt that Qin Wan was getting closer to her. Seeing the change in Nanny Chen's expression, Yan Li couldn't help but continued, "Also, Miss Nine still saves Qin Wan." It's my aunt's life."
Chen Nanny didn't recognize Qin Wan at first, but later Qin Wan rescued the Queen Mother, but she never thought that Qin Wan would have such a deep connection with the Taichang Princess. With such a fate with the Taichang Princess, it is no wonder that the servants feel close when they look at Nine Girls. It turned out that the Taichang Princess and the Queen Mother were the closest when she was in Beijing. Later, the Taichang Princess went to Jinzhou, and the Queen Mother became much lonely , I wonder how the Taichang Princess is doing?"
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, mammy, grandma is much better."
Nanny Chen nodded, and on the other side, the Queen Mother took Yan Li's hand and said, "Han'er, aren't you studying?"
The queen mother's voice was hoarse, but she still couldn't help speaking, Yan Li coaxed the queen mother in a low voice, "Grandmother, I am Yan Li, your grandson, my father will come over later. "
Seeing Yan Li like this, Nanny Chen explained to Qin Wan with a wry smile, "Ninth girl laughed, the empress dowager can't recognize people clearly, maybe it's because she's getting old, and she always remembers the emperor's generation, who always remembers how old she is. Your Highness as their father."
Qin Wan didn't take it seriously, "It's like this when people are old. The empress dowager's condition is also due to a long illness. When the empress dowager's symptoms are relieved, her spirit will be better, and she will recognize people more often."
There was some hope in Chen Mama's eyes, "Okay, I'm waiting for that day."
While talking here, Yan Chi's eyes fell on Qin Wan. Seeing that the three of them recognized her, Madam Chen went outside to urge the medicine. Only two little girls were left inside to look after her. Yan Chi took two steps forward. Qin Wan leaned closer, "How is the emperor's grandmother?"
Qin Wan said, "Don't worry, the most difficult hurdle has passed. Right now, you only need to follow the prescription for five or six days and you will see results. After you take care of yourself, you will get better."
Yan Chi's expression brightened, and he seemed relieved, "That's good."
Yan Li didn't know what he said, but he coaxed the Queen Mother into a good sleep and closed his eyes. He turned and looked at Qin Wan, "I knew that Nine Girls had excellent medical skills before, but now I know that Nine Girls are very good at medicine. Nine Girls, Grandmother is afraid that there is no way to save them." Yan Li turned her eyes and said, "Nine Girls must not know that your reputation as a Little Doctor Immortal has already resounded throughout the capital!"
Qin Wan heard what Zheng Baishi said, but she didn't care about fame.
"I don't open a clinic to practice medicine, and it's useless to ask for these false names."
Yan Li smiled meaningfully, "That's not necessarily—"
Qin Wan raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking about what Yan Li meant when suddenly, a little doll appeared at the door.
Before Qin Wan could react, she saw Yan Li approaching the door very quickly, hugged the little doll in her arms, and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiu, why are you so slow today?!"
The little doll is only four or five years old, born with cute rain and snow, especially a pair of black and white eyes, being held in Yan Li's arms, like a porcelain doll, he didn't feel afraid when Yan Li hugged him, he just whispered, " Brother Li, Sui'er wants to eat candy."
Yan Li smiled "haha", raised his hand and took out a piece of candy wrapped in a handkerchief from his sleeve.
Qin Wan had long known that the Ninth Prince was in Shoukang Palace, but this was the first time she had seen the Ninth Prince Yan Sui.
When Yan Sui saw the candy, he stuffed it into his arms, as if he was afraid that others would find out, then glanced over Yan Li's shoulder towards the bed, and whispered, "Is the imperial grandmother alright?"
It could be seen that Yan Sui was a little shy, even though he was close to Yan Li, he dodged when he saw Yan Chi.
Qin Wan looked at the little baby with dim eyes. This is Concubine Jin's child.
Yan Li was teasing Yan Sui, and Nanny Chen came in with a maidservant carrying a bowl of medicine. Seeing Yan Li holding Yan Sui in her arms, she immediately smiled and said, "The Ninth Prince is here, the smell of medicine is strong here. I want to bring you over to see the queen mother later."
"Is the imperial grandmother well?" Yan Sui asked Nanny Chen in a childish voice, holding Yan Chi's collar with one hand.
Nanny Chen hurriedly said in a friendly voice, "Ninth Prince, don't worry, the Empress Dowager will recover soon."
As he spoke, he said to Qin Wan, "Miss Nine, the medicine is ready."
Qin Wan stepped forward, smelled the medicine and knew whether the recipe and cooking method were correct, Qin Wan nodded, "You can use half a bowl for the first time, and give it to the empress dowager after it cools down. "
Nanny Chen glanced at the maidservant, and the maidservant took the medicine bowl to the side and waited for the medicine to cool.
On this side, Yan Sui struggled to get off the ground. He walked to the Empress Dowager's bedside with his short legs. He grabbed the Empress Dowager's hand and was full of worry. Nanny Chen sighed, looked at the Empress Dowager with her eyes closed and said again , "It's still His Highness Li who will coax the empress, every time His Highness Li comes, the empress will sleep obediently."
Yan Li smiled slightly, then looked at Yan Chi again and said, "Seventh Brother, don't you want to go to Chongzheng Palace?"
Yan Chi was not in a hurry at first, but after mentioning it like this, Nanny Chen said, "Your Highness, go quickly, the emperor has a lot of government affairs in the past two days, so it is not good to keep the emperor waiting for a long time." Then he said, "The emperor also asked The nine girls are going together."
Yan Chi said, "Okay then, I'll go over and see what's going on first, and then I'll come and see the emperor's grandmother."
Nanny Chen quickly agreed, and Yan Chi took Qin Wan out.
As soon as he went out, Fu Ling greeted her, and Qin Wan said, "Follow me well, I'm going to see the emperor."
Fu Ling nodded hurriedly, not daring to ask a single word.
The snow had stopped outside, and with Yan Chi by her side, Nanny Chen didn't send any more people. The two of them walked along the palace road ahead, while Fu Ling and Bai Feng followed a few steps behind. Yan Chi glanced at Qin Wan and said , "Are you wondering why the emperor summoned you?"
Qin Wan looked at Yan Chi, "You know?"
Yan Chi said quickly, "I wanted to tell you last night, but then I lost my mind and forgot."
Qin Wan's face was slightly red, Yan Chi's mind was confused when he said it, and he naturally meant that the two were intimate. Thinking of this, he gave Yan Chi a reproachful look, and Yan Chi smiled brightly, "Report the Jinzhou case to the court." At that time, I didn't write you in it, because at least there is Xuhe in Jinzhou, but when I arrived in Yuzhou, Yuzhou's official was not there, whoever did the autopsy had to write it clearly, and the prefect of Yuzhou was not a greedy person, so he explained how the case was solved It is written in the original form, and when the emperor sees it, he will naturally know it."
Qin Wan didn't expect the magistrate of Yuzhou to report the matter, and was a little dazed for a while.
During the Great Zhou Dynasty, women are not involved in political affairs, why did the emperor call her this time
"Don't worry, the emperor also asked me after reading the case files that day. I saw that Wang Huaiyu had told the truth, so I also answered the emperor's doubts. I think the emperor's meaning is not disliked, on the contrary, he is very grateful." interest."
Qin Wan nodded after hearing this, "That's good."
But Yan Chi looked at her and said, "If the emperor asked you about this today, you can say that you practice medicine with medical skills, but don't mention Shen Yi's name—"
Qin Wan paused slightly, "Shen... Mr. Shen's matter is over, can't his name be mentioned?"
Yan Chi's eyes darkened slightly, "I know you admire Mr. Shen, but this matter is no small matter, Wan Wan, listen to me."
The four eyes met for a moment, Qin Wan understood what Yan Chi meant, nodded, and she continued to walk forward.
The palace road was empty, only the occasional people from the first and second palaces who passed by walked away silently. In Qin Wan's heart, the oppressive gloom came up again. hand grabbed.
Qin Wan was surprised, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look around. The two were walking around the corner, and Fuling and Bai Feng behind her were not in her sight. However, Qin Wan was still anxious to struggle, and Yan Chi threw Qin Wan down heavily. Wan shook hands, and then let go. At this moment, Fu Ling and Bai Feng also turned the corner and followed.
Qin Wan knew that Yan Chi was comforting, so he whispered, "Don't worry, I understand."
Yan Chi said quickly, "Things in the court are changing rapidly, and the word power is always used during this period, and others just don't care. In front of the Holy One, you must not ignore it."
In the past, Qin Wan only saw the emperor from a distance, and didn't know his temperament. However, this time when he entered the palace, the impression of the emperor on her was not bad. Among other things, his concern for the empress dowager was nothing like what she had imagined. The cruel emperor is different.
However, after Yan Chi said this, Qin Wan still set up a layer of defense.
As if knowing what Qin Wan was thinking, Yan Chi said in a low voice, "The current emperor places great emphasis on filial piety, but above the administration of officials, the current emperor's tactics are also the most ingenious among all emperors."
Yan Chi's words were deep and low, and Qin Wan inexplicably felt a chill down his spine when he said those words.
She nodded cautiously, "I see."
After walking for a quarter of an hour, they arrived in front of the Chongzheng Hall. Yuan Qing smiled deeply when he saw the two of them coming together, "Your Highness, Miss Nine, the emperor is reviewing the memorials inside, you two can just go in, please—"
Saying that, Yuan Qing personally led Qin and Wan into the Royal Study Room of Chongzheng Hall.
Today is Zhengdan, and everyone in the court is Muxiu, but Yan Huai still stays in the imperial study room for a whole day. Lifted up in the twilight.
His eyes were in the light, and at that moment, Qin Wan suddenly felt an incomparable sense of coldness.
However, when she came to salute, Yan Huai smiled again, "Get up, the queen mother can use the new medicine?"
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "When I left, the medicine had already been decocted and was waiting for it to cool down. I think it has already started to feed the medicine now."
Yan Huai nodded, and looked at Qin Wan first, "Girl, do you know why I called you here today?"
Qin Wan shook her head, "Minnv don't know—"
Yan Huai glanced at Yan Chi, "Guess."
Qin Wan raised his eyes and looked at Yan Huai very quickly for a moment, then said, "Could it be that the emperor has not given any rewards to the girls?"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Huai laughed loudly, and as soon as he put down the imperial pen, he knew that Yan Chi hadn't told Qin Wan the inside story, "Is the reward in the morning not enough? What else do you want? Just say it..."
Qin Wan showed panic, "Minnv dare not, but if it's not a reward, Minv would not know anything else."
Yan Huai turned his eyes, and took out a memorial from the side. He opened the memorial and said gently, "A few days ago, I received a memorial here, which was sent by the magistrate of Yuzhou. It contained the inside story of several cases in Yuzhou. Do you know?"
Qin Wan hesitated for a moment, "Minister, I know... I know."
Yan Huai said as if watching a good show, "It's not like you to be so hesitant. What did you do in this case?"
Qin Wan lowered his brows and eyes, "Minnv... Minnv helped the magistrate of Yuzhou to perform an autopsy..." Qin Wan said quickly, "Minnv shouldn't meddle in government affairs, please forgive me."
Yan Huai looked at Qin Wan for a long time, "Shouldn't meddle? Since you know you shouldn't meddle? Why have you meddled so many times?"
Qin Wan looked even more panicked, raised his eyes and looked at Yan Huai helplessly, seeing that Qin Wan had really been bluffed, Yan Huai said with a helpless smile, "I thought you were so clever, why don't you even mean that much?" Can’t taste it? If I blame you, why do I want you to come to the Imperial Study? I’m just curious, how dare you perform an autopsy on a daughter’s family?”
Qin Guan breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his eyes and said, "Because women are not afraid of death."
Yan Huai raised her eyebrows, "Aren't you afraid of the dead? Are you afraid of ghosts?"
Qin Wan continued, "My grandmother in Jinzhou likes to visit Buddhism. I heard from my grandmother that after death, people must fall into the six realms of reincarnation. Those ghosts are mostly people with karma, and as long as we live in this world and don't do evil karma, they will not be invaded by evil spirits, and the ghosts that people are usually afraid of are just ghosts in people's hearts, and for women, it is just that there is no Bodhi tree, and the mirror is not a stand. Family-educated, once you have figured out these things, you won’t be afraid.”
Yan Huai was a little surprised when he heard Qin Wan's rhetoric, and seeing that Qin Wan was extraordinarily solemn and calm, and his body also had a kind of Zen elegance, he really believed it, so he said again, "Then how did you cultivate this way?"
Qin Wan continued to say what he said before, Yan Huai was slightly surprised, "There is such a way to heal people?"
Qin Wan nodded and said, "When Minnv came to Yuanzhou on this trip, she met a direct disciple of Yaowanggu. At that disciple of Yaowanggu, Minnv saw several ancient books. It is said in the ancient book that diseases in the human head can be cured by opening the cranium, and diseases in the heart can be treated by opening the chest. As long as the method is appropriate, a person will not die even if the chest and abdomen are opened. And it records the experiments of the sages At first, the method was tested on the dead."
Yan Huai was already impressed by Qin Wan's medical skills, although what Qin Wan said this time was miraculous, but he didn't realize that Qin Wan was lying, "So that's how it is." Then he asked, "You also helped with the case in the capital this time. ?”
Qin Wan didn't know what to say about this matter, but thinking that this place was in the capital, there was no way to hide anything, so he said, "Yes, my elder brother learned that Qin Wan will use medical skills to perform autopsies, so he asked Qin Wan to help."
Yan Huai was very satisfied, "You have this ability, which really surprised me. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a woman in my Da Zhou who practiced the way of shackles. You are the first person. It's a pity that women in Da Zhou are not allowed to enter the public office." Ya, your identity is not easy to act, otherwise you are really a great talent I discovered."
Qin Wan lowered his head, "The emperor praised you absurdly. If there is something to tell the girls, the girls will do their best."
Yan Huai waved his hands with a smile, "If I let you go to the autopsy, then Zhongyonghou will not be able to hide it if he wants to hide it. Are you really willing to let everyone know that you can do it? If there are gossips at that time, you can bear it." live?"
After all, Yan Huai knew the people's livelihood outside, Qin Wan pursed her lips and did not answer.
Yan Huai said casually, "You have this ability, as long as I know about it, besides, it's good for Yan Chi to know, I believe, it's not I who wants to ask you to help, but Yan Chi—"
Qin Wan raised his head, looked first at Yan Huai, then at Yan Chi, feeling a little puzzled.
Yan Huai looked at Yan Chi and talked about the business, "Yan Chi, the enemy was defeated in the second half of last year, and it has been a long time since they have caused trouble. I think they will be more peaceful in the next two years. Your father and king will be enough in the army. How about you staying in Beijing and I will send you a new errand?"
Yan Chi said calmly, "Yan Chi returned to the capital this time, and he also felt that the prosperous and beautiful capital is very comfortable, even if the emperor does not let Yan Chi stay, Yan Chi will also ask the emperor for orders, just ask the emperor to order. "
Yan Huai smiled and said, "After fighting for so many years, it's good for you to want to come back. The Queen Mother is not in good health. You juniors don't know how long you can accompany her, so stay in Beijing." He paused slightly and said, " This time you went south, I gave you the errand of the criminal inspector. You did a very good job, especially the gold robbery was solved. I think your father is very pleased to know, so this new errand , I intend to let you go to the Ministry of Punishment, what do you think?"
Yan Chi cupped his hands, "Yan Chi listens to the emperor's arrangement."
Yan Huai nodded, and took a booklet from the table. Seeing this, Yuan Qing hurriedly stepped forward to take the booklet, then walked up to Yan Chi and handed it to Yan Chi. Yan Chi took the booklet, opened it, and cupped his hands Bai, "Please rest assured, your majesty, Yan Chi will definitely live up to your majesty."
Yan Huai said loudly, "The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is old, and he has said that he wants to retire in a year or two. However, the whole Ministry of Punishment couldn't find anyone to replace him. Right now, you will take the position of Zuo Shilang first, so my Ministry of Punishment There are people."
"Yan Chi understands that Yan Chi will go to the office of the Ministry of Punishment tomorrow to take up his post."
After Yan Huai finished his business, Fang looked at Qin Wan again, "Girl, do you know what I mean? He will be the one looking for you in the future."
Although Yan Huai did not disclose Qin Wan's achievements to the public, she seemed to have acquiesced in Qin Wan's help to the Yamen. Qin Wan hurriedly nodded, and was very respectful. The two stepped back.
The two left the imperial study room and walked straight to the palace road back to Shoukang Palace before speaking.
"The left servant of the Ministry of punishment... Is this what you want?"
Yan Chi handed the booklet to Bai Feng, and smiled lightly, "On the court, there are seldom times when one's wishes come true."
Qin Wan knew that it was impossible for Yan Chi to really like the ease of flowers and flowers, so he said, "Yes, you are the one who should be on the battlefield."
Yan Chi raised his eyebrows, "How do you say that?"
Qin Wan turned his eyes and gave Yan Chi a cool look, "I didn't say that."
Yan Chi asked "Hmm", "Who said that?"
Qin Wan snorted lightly, how could she say that she raised her skirt slightly, and walked forward first, she walked very fast, but the palace road was complicated and intricate, in a hurry, she actually walked the wrong way, waiting When she came back to her senses, she heard Yan Chi's gorgeous and deep chuckle sounded behind her, "Why don't you leave?"
Qin Wan groaned in her heart, looked at the clouds in the sky, and quickly figured out the direction. The palace roads lead in all directions. She just took a long detour this time, but she still knows the location of Shoukang Palace. It is not difficult to walk back.
Seeing that Qin Wan quickly figured out the direction, Yan Chi couldn't help laughing, "This way to the north is the back garden, pass by the side of the back garden, and then go straight west."
"I know—" Qin Wan raised his jaw.
Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan's back with some amusement and surprise. At this moment, Qin Wan seemed to have a bit of a temper, but it was quite different from her usual self, "You didn't say that, you didn't say that, But who said that?"
That was naturally said by Peng Huajing, and Qin Wan especially remembered the admiration in her tone when she said this.
However, Qin Wan couldn't say it at the moment, she turned her eyes to look at Yan Chi, "Does Your Highness have a familiar lady in the capital?"
When Yan Chi heard this, the smile in his eyes enlarged infinitely. It was all right, how could Qin Wan ask such a question? Then this question must be related to the previous statement. He had a guess in his mind, but he didn't pursue it. He just flatly denied it, "I joined the army at the age of ten, and the days since I came back for so many years did not add up to two months. Your lady, how can you get acquainted with me?"
Qin Wan raised her eyebrows, but she also knew what Yan Chi said was true.
Yan Chi continued, "Speaking of which, I know someone well."
Qin Wan looked at Yan Chi quickly, Yan Chi smiled and said, "It's a pity that this person doesn't want to say a word to me in front of others."
Qin Wan's earlobe felt hot, knowing that Yan Chi was talking about her, she turned her head and didn't bother to pursue it.
Yan Chi smiled, and while talking, the two had already walked to the edge of the imperial garden. Qin Wan was trying to calm down and take the words just now, when he raised his eyes, he saw a small figure standing on a hollowed-out flower wall side.
"Ninth Prince—" Qin Wan was slightly surprised, and Yan Chi also looked over.
The two had only seen the Ninth Prince a while ago, so naturally they would not admit their mistake at this moment, and the small figure of the Ninth Prince shrunk against the wall, and he didn't know what he saw, but he was motionless, and there was no servant beside him.
Qin Wan and Yan Chi glanced at each other, and hurriedly walked towards the Ninth Prince. Her footsteps were neither light nor heavy, but the Ninth Prince probably didn't notice them. When they got to the Ninth Prince's side, Qin Wan leaned over to ask The Ninth Prince suddenly realized when he was talking, his face turned pale and he was about to cry out, but in an instant, Yan Chi covered the Ninth Prince's mouth.
Seeing Yan Chi's frowning, Qin Wan raised his chin to indicate the direction the Ninth Prince was looking at, Qin Wan was stunned when he saw it, and the next moment, Yan Chi hugged the Ninth Prince in his arms , and dragged Qin Wan to hide behind the flower wall.
Yan Sui trembled in Yan Chi's arms, his eyes filled with tears, Yan Chi hugged him, and patted his back clumsily, "Don't be afraid, they won't find us—"
The "they" in Yanchi's mouth is a pavilion separated by a flower garden from the flower wall they are leaning against.
Inside the gazebo, a beautiful woman in blue palace attire is sitting at the moment, the beauty is facing Qin Wan and the others, but Qin Wan can still tell at a glance that this is not the Concubine Su Gui whom she just saw in the morning who is it? !
Concubine Su Gui sat with her back facing them, and beside her stood four servants, while in the snow not far in front of Concubine Su Gui, there was a palace maid in Tsing Yi kneeling, who was surrounded by four eunuchs. Lie on the ground, two of them were holding the bamboo board with their fingers on the body of the maidservant in Tsing Yi. The maid in Tsing Yi had a ball of white cotton stuffed in her mouth. Even so, Qin Wan could still faintly hear it from such a distance. The painful scream of the maidservant and the shocking pain on her face.
She had been tortured several times. At this moment, her face was covered with sweat and tears, and her fingers were covered with blood, and she curled up on the ground in pain. She collapsed.
"Xiu'er, you know how your empress treats you, but you, an ungrateful person!"
A maid reprimanded her, and after she finished speaking, she glanced at Feng Lingsu, Feng Lingsu nodded, and the maid said, "Look at what she said."
An eunuch immediately pulled out the cotton cloth from Xiu'er's mouth, and Xiu'er gasped for breath, then cried and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to disturb this servant, and this servant fainted for a moment, please forgive me, please don't abolish this servant." The hands of the servants, the embroiderers of the servants all rely on these hands..."
"Your Majesty, the slaves don't dare anymore, Your Majesty..."
The servant cried heart-rendingly, neither Qin Wan nor Yan Chi knew what Xiu'er was crying about, nor did they know what mistake she had made.
At this moment, the maidservant on the side said again, "Did you get dizzy for a while? Dare to wear the empress's dress to deliver the soup made by the empress when you are dizzy for a while? What a bold lowly maid! You obviously want to borrow your empress's money." The clothes seduce the emperor!"
Saying that, the maidservant said again, "Go ahead—"
"Ah-mother, I really don't dare to do it anymore. That dress is of ordinary style. You didn't want it. You said it was randomly picked by the servants. It was only put on by the servants during the Chinese New Year last night... The servants didn't mean it... ah …”
Without the cotton cloth in his mouth, the servant screamed more and more heart-piercingly, causing Yan Sui to bury his head on Yan Chi's shoulder, and Qin Wan frowned. If things go on like this, the servant's hand will definitely be useless. However, this is the palace, and Feng Lingsu is the one who tortured him, she is not qualified to save that person at all, and taking a step back, Feng Lingsu should also deal with her servants who violated the rules in the palace.
Although she couldn't see Feng Lingsu's expression clearly, Qin Wan knew from her sitting posture that Feng Lingsu was very relaxed at the moment, and the drama of punishing palace slaves was commonplace for her.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I beg you to spare this servant... this servant really didn't do it on purpose..."
"Isn't it on purpose?" Feng Lingsu opened her mouth, her voice was still soft, but at the moment it contained a bit of coldness and a high aura. This kind of her is no longer the delicate and gentle Xie Yuhua .
"The servants in this palace dare to seduce the emperor with my intentions. If the emperor didn't focus on government affairs last night, wouldn't it be that you, a lowly maid, climbed onto the emperor's bed, such a thing!"
After saying this, Feng Lingsu raised his jaw again to signal the eunuch to continue.
The two eunuchs pushed hard from left to right, and immediately, that Xiu'er rolled on the ground in pain, and the other two eunuchs pressed Xiu'er forcefully, but the executioner hadn't stopped, maybe he lost his mind from the pain, and Xu knew that both of his hands were useless, so Xiu'er cried and begged and suddenly cursed loudly!
"Feng Lingsu! Poisonous woman! You poisonous woman!"
"You want to occupy the emperor alone, and you will kill Concubine Jin!"
"You killed me, you killed me, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go..."
Feng Lingsu was trembling from the sudden curse, she raised her finger and pointed at Xiu'er, "Tear her mouth to pieces! Tear her mouth to pieces! Kill with a stick! Kill with a stick!"
"Niangniang, don't be angry, this lowly servant girl can be dealt with by the servants, don't be angry!"
The servants persuaded Feng Lingsu to stand up suddenly, and she led the people away with big strides. The eunuchs stopped for a moment and bowed to salute. Go east.
Qin Wan clenched her fists slightly, "Where was she taken?"
"Probably the Department of Imperial Punishment." Yan Chi's voice was calm, and he placed his hand on Yan Sui's back to caress.
Qin Wan's eyes dimmed upon hearing the word Yuzhengsi. Yuxuansi is the place where the palace maids are punished. The laws of the Great Zhou are useless in the palace, and the palace has its own rules. The Department of Imperial Punishment is the place where everyone in the palace talks about it.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, people have already left."
Yan Chi patted Yan Sui's back lightly, and Yan Sui's trembling body calmed down a bit.
He was a little afraid of the unfamiliar Yan Chi, but at this moment, he had no choice but to lean on Yan Chi. Hearing this, he raised his head from Yan Chi's shoulder, glanced at the gazebo in the distance, blinked his eyes, and burst into tears. Immediately rolled down.
Qin Wan looked at it with bursts of heartache, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe Yan Sui's tears, "It's okay, it's okay, Your Highness, why did you come here alone to serve your servant?"
Qin Wan asked softly, but Yan Sui's tears kept falling down. He looked straight at the pavilion, with fear and hatred in his eyes, Qin Wan suddenly came to his senses, that Xiu'er just cursed At the time, it seemed that Concubine Jin was killed by Concubine Su Gui. Qin Wan was shocked, and looked down at Yan Sui again, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
"She...she killed my concubine mother..."
After a while, Yan Sui opened his mouth with a choked up sob, but Yan Chi and Qin Wan frowned as soon as the words came out.
Everyone knew that Concubine Jin was killed by the King of Jin, but why was Concubine Su Gui involved
Although Qin Wan wanted to find out the answer to this case, Yan Sui was only a four-year-old child. Can he believe what he said? However, it is unbelievable, but to Qin Wan, this Yan Sui was the closest person to the deceased Concubine Jin!
"Your Highness, why do you say that—"
Qin Wan asked subconsciously, and Yan Sui looked up at the gazebo, "They all said that."
Qin Wan and Yan Chi looked at each other, so they knew that there were rumors in the palace that Concubine Su had harmed Concubine Jin. If so, how did King Jin get involved in this case? King Jin's murder has been concluded, how dare the people in the palace spread rumors
Qin Wan took a deep breath, hating that she didn't know the circumstances of the crime that day, and couldn't see the relevant records. Thinking of this, Qin Wan couldn't help but look at Yan Sui. When he arrived at Shoukang Palace, he must have followed Concubine Jin before the incident happened. Where was he when the incident happened? Did he see anything
Although Yan Sui replied as if he had believed other people's rumors, but if he had seen and heard something else that day, maybe the inside story of this case would have surfaced.
Thinking of this, the corners of Qin Wan's lips moved, wanting to ask a question or two.
But at this moment, Yan Chi said, "You can't say that nonsense."
Qin Wan suddenly came to his senses, Yan Chi looked at Yan Sui solemnly and said, "It's okay to say this sentence to us, but remember, if there are others around, you must never say it to others, do you understand?"
Yan Sui was frightened by Yan Chi's stern look, sobbing with tears, but he didn't answer for a long time, Yan Sui said, "Can't Brother Li say it too?"
Seeing Yan Sui's shocked look, Yan Chi's voice softened a bit, "He can say it, but others must not."
Yan Sui nodded, his eyes drooped, and he began to cry pitifully and silently.
How could Qin Wan ask anything when he saw this situation, not to mention that what Yan Chi said was correct, Yan Sui's words must not be said in the palace, not to mention that the case had already been concluded by the emperor, it was Feng Lingsu's. Power is not something that Yan Sui, a little baby, can resist. He has no mother, and now he is only protected by the Shoukang Palace, and the Queen Mother is not in good health, how many days can she protect him
Seeing Yan Sui's miserable appearance, Qin Wan couldn't bear it. Although he was born a noble prince, Yan Sui's situation was doomed to lead a difficult life in the future, and her rash questioning of Yan Sui would not only provoke Yan Sui thought of her dead mother, and it was extremely easy for people to discover her trip. If Yan Sui didn't know what happened, he would definitely not understand her intentions. How can he explain it when he tells the whole story
Due to emotion and reason, it is not advisable to rush to inquire about this matter in the palace, Qin Wan sighed, and naturally swallowed the words stuck in his throat.
Wiping Yan Sui's tears again, seeing the cold wind outside him making Yan Sui's face red, Yan Chi hugged Yan Sui and wanted to go to Shoukang Palace.
"Concubine Mu... When Concubine Mu died, her hands were like that person's."
Just when they took two steps, Yan Sui suddenly said something to himself.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Wan and Yan Chi frowned at the same time.
