It's not easy to marry a male concubine

As soon as she sat down like this, Luo Lanyuan realized that Jiang Lanxing had grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in a handkerchief before leaving.

The quality of this girl's heart is really good. After watching such a scene, others may have to have nightmares for half a month, but she can still eat.

Jiang Lanxing generously distributed half of the five-spice melon seeds in the handkerchief to Luo Lanyuan.

Unlike Jiang Wanhua, Jiang Lanxing already looks like a slim girl. She inherited her mother, Mrs. Liu's pretty face, but she is a little taller.King Xuanyang is tall, and his sons and daughters are not short.

"What happened... aren't you afraid?" Luo Lanyuan asked curiously.

"It's useless to be afraid. It's already happened anyway. Thinking too much is just to make yourself uncomfortable." Jiang Lanxing shrugged: "Isn't my sister-in-law not afraid?"

Luo Lanyuan felt that this girl was interesting, so she couldn't help chatting with her a few more words: "I stayed here to wait for Jiang Liye, why did you stay?"

"Oh, my mother didn't let me do it." Jiang Lanxing said without hesitation: "She likes to watch the excitement, but she is afraid, so I can only let the brave me stay and read it to her. Slightly."

Luo Lanyuan couldn't help but find it funny. Compared with the cautious Mrs. He and her daughter, Mrs. Liu's mother and daughter seemed careless and careless.

"Sister-in-law, can you play chess?" Jiang Lanxing suddenly thought of something and asked Luo Lanyuan.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Luo Lanyuan replied.

"Great! I'll ask the maid to come over with a game of chess, otherwise we'd just sit here and wait." Jiang Lanxing clapped his hands.

Luo Lanyuan thought that idleness is idleness, why not take advantage of the time of playing chess with Jiang Lanxing to inquire more about the palace.

-

Inside the main hall of the palace.

The prince and concubine, brothers Jiang Louyue, the chief guard and the housekeeper sat around the main hall.

Royal physician Wang worked as a clerk in his early years, and as the imperial physician who had the closest relationship with the palace, he was called to help examine the corpse.

Shao Yao's body had been placed on a shelf and covered with a white cloth.

Physician Wang uncovered the white cloth and began to examine the corpse carefully.

The dead baby was placed beside him. Compared with Shao Yao's body, the chief guard seemed to be more concerned about the dead baby beside him: "My lord, can I have a look at that baby?"

"Yes." King Xuanyang agreed.

On the other side, Royal Physician Wang also came to a preliminary conclusion: "The viscera in this woman's stomach were eaten up by something unknown, and the strange thing is that she was not pregnant before her death."

Hearing this, Jiang Louyue, who had been tense all the time, breathed a sigh of relief, now he could finally prove his innocence.

"This is definitely a conspiracy." The chief guard also finished checking the dead baby: "It's a sorcery again, and this baby is not a real baby. Shao Yao's death is because a voodoo called ghost baby voodoo was planted in her body." insect."

"What is ghost baby Gu?" Qin Xueyao frowned, slightly covering her nose with a handkerchief, as if she was a little uncomfortable with the bloody scene.

"Returning to the princess, ghost baby Gu is a kind of extremely poisonous Gu." The chief guard said: "Ghost baby Gu is divided into child Gu and mother Gu. The child Gu can be planted in the opponent's body through intimate intercourse. Both men and women will show signs of pregnancy, and the mother Gu is held in the hands of the Gu caster. If the mother Gu does not move, the child Gu will not move either, but once the mother Gu is killed, the child Gu will go crazy and be eaten up. The innards of the instigator quickly grow into the shape of a baby and then burst out."

Qin Xueyao coughed twice, she shouldn't have asked, and she couldn't eat the disgusting dinner after listening to it.

Seeing that her complexion was not good, King Xuanyang said with concern: "Otherwise, the concubine should go back first? This is really uncomfortable for women."

"No need." Qin Xueyao put down the veil, pretending to look normal: "I am the mistress, how can I be as delicate as an ordinary woman?"

No matter how disgusting she is, she can't leave. If what happens next is not good for Jiang Louyue, she has to speak for him.

How could King Xuanyang not know what she was thinking, so he didn't persuade her much, turned around and asked Jiang Liye, "Aye, you know a lot about Jianghu, why don't you talk about it? The death of Shaoyao and the disappearance Does the corpse matter?"

Jiang Louyue was a little nervous and peeked at Jiang Liye from the corner of her eye. It seemed that Jiang Liye and Luo Qidie got along pretty well, and he didn't know whether Luo Qidie had told Jiang Liye about the "Mao Cao".

And what exactly is this "hair grass"?If he was a human being, why would his "corpse" be taken away by Luo Qidie without anyone noticing it? If he was not a human being, why did he risk his life to steal the antidote in the restricted area of ​​the palace?Could it be that Luo Qidie also knows magic?Jiang Louyue still hasn't figured it out.

"Ah!" Luo Lanyuan, who was playing chess outside the door, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose, wondering why he would sneeze in such a hot summer.

Jiang Liye completely ignored Jiang Louyue's gaze, and there was no expression on his face: "Ghost Infant Gu is one of the exclusive poisonous poisons of the Red Snake Sect of Jianghu sect. Because domestication is very difficult, the number of Ghost Infant Gu in the world is very large. rare."

He paused, then continued: "The Red Snake Cult is proficient in all kinds of sorcery, and the leader's daughter, Berry Yin, is on good terms with Henghu King's eldest son, Jiang Ren."

"Sure enough, it's Jiang Yan again!" Wang Xuanyang hammered the armrest of the chair angrily.

It seems that Shaoyao's death should be caused by Henghu King or Jiang Ren's people. Jiang Liye also dumped the blame for "Mao Cao" on Henghu King. Jiang Louyue couldn't help but feel a little touched. There was still a bit of brotherhood between them.

However, just as Jiang Louyue finished thinking about it, what Jiang Liye said next shattered this little brotherhood: "I just don't know why Jiang Ren picked my brother's people... Did my brother offend Henghu?" Are you king?"

Hearing this, Qin Xueyao glared at Jiang Liye angrily. Fortunately, she didn't leave. The little bastard Jiang Liye really poured dirty water on her precious son: "My lord, Ah Lou has been very good lately. Asking him to copy books and recite poems to cultivate himself, how could he offend King Henghu?"

Jiang Louyue also hurriedly explained to herself: "Father, you also know that the King of Henghu has always disliked me, and I have provoked him a lot before, so it is normal for him to pick people I have had close contact with. And you also just now I heard that the child in Shaoyao's belly is fake, I really broke contact with her more than a month ago!"

"Evil!" King Xuanyang scolded with a black face: "What does it mean that King Henghu doesn't like you, and Jiang Yan doesn't like everyone in our family? Why do you only pick on you? Why don't you pick on your brother? Is it because You got caught by others for messing around with flowers and grass outside? Go back to my room and confine me for a month, and I'm not allowed to go anywhere!"

"Isn't it?" Jiang Louyue was dumbfounded, he just healed his injuries, he was suffocating to death in the room, not long after he was released, he was going to be locked up again?

Qin Xueyao was trying to persuade her, but King Xuanyang was angry now, and she was afraid that the more she persuaded, the more counterproductive she would be, so she could only endure it first, and stared at Jiang Liye fiercely, grinding her teeth.

Seeing that the purpose of punishing Jiang Louyue had been achieved, Jiang Liye took the initiative to change the topic: "Father, the disappearing corpse and the cause of Shao Yao's death are not the point, the point is that King Henghu Why do you want to do this?"

"It's obvious that he has planned for a long time to attack his brother's people. What's more frightening is that the Red Snake Sect is proficient in poisonous witchcraft. How many people like Shaoyao are hiding around us?"

What Jiang Liye said was very reasonable, and King Xuanyang fell into deep thought: "Aye, I don't know much about the affairs in the Jianghu. If you have to deal with the Red Snake Sect in the future, do you have a chance of winning?"

"Father, don't worry, a mere Red Snake Sect is nothing to fear," Jiang Liye said.

Jiang Louyue made mocking clicks from the side, but Jiang Liye ignored him.

King Xuanyang stopped talking, and the others didn't dare to speak. He frowned and tapped the armrest of the seat with his index finger.

"Damn it!" King Xuanyang raised his head suddenly, and ordered the chief guard: "Take your men and go to the streets of the capital to check if anyone is spreading rumors!"

The chief guard immediately took the order: "Yes!"

The expressions of Jiang Louyue and Jiang Liye also became tense, but Qin Xueyao didn't understand, so she asked, "My lord, what's the matter?"

"There was a woman crying in front of the palace gate that she was pregnant and asked the eldest son of the palace to marry her. As a result, there was no news about this woman after she entered the palace. What would outsiders think if they found out?" King Xuanyang gritted his teeth.

It must be that the palace got rid of the dead woman and the child.

In normal times, people might talk about the domineering royal family and not treating civilians as human beings, but at this critical moment of seizing the throne, there are such scandals. Which common people hope that the country will have a tyrannical monarch in the future?

"Keep the corpses of this woman and the ghost baby and freeze them for me." King Xuanyang ordered.

If the news reaches the emperor's ears, at least keep the evidence and explain it to the emperor.

However, the mouths of the people cannot be stopped. One mouthful of rumors can be used, and rumors can be dispelled. As long as the rumors are spread, people will believe them, but in most cases, no one will listen to the rumors.

-

Outside the door, Luo Lanyuan and Jiang Lanxing just finished a game of chess: "I lost, you are really good at chess." Luo Lanyuan admitted defeat generously. To be honest, his chess skills are not bad, but Jiang Lanxing's Chess skills are surprisingly strong, and when she plays chess, she becomes completely different, completely different from her usual state of being dazed and careless.

"Hee hee, my sister-in-law is also very good! But no one has ever beaten me in chess." Jiang Lanxing was a little embarrassed and a little proud when he was praised.

Luo Lanyuan and Jiang Lanxing chatted while playing chess, but Jiang Lanxing didn't know much about political affairs and Jianghu affairs. Although Mrs. Liu liked to watch the excitement, she only watched trivial gossip.

"Look! They're coming out!" Luo Lanyuan pointed at the door of the main hall.

The door of the main hall was opened, King Xuanyang came out with other people, and a few maids came in to clean the house.

Whether it was King Xuanyang or Jiang Louyue and the others, everyone's complexion was not very good, and the atmosphere was very dignified.
