This queen is not too curly

Chapter 27 Suspicion
She has a very clean face.

There has never been a shortage of beauties in the harem. Each of them has exquisite appearance and slender appearance. Even those who were not of high family background, such as the daughter of the county magistrate, transformed into bright and charming Concubine Xu not long after entering the palace.

As for the daughter of Marquis Dingbei in front of her, she looks extremely plain.

She looks very weak, and wearing a heavy fur collar fur jacket, she looks even thinner and softer. When saluting, her whole body is almost buried in the fluff of the neckline. It's a shelled animal that doesn't bother sticking its head out unless necessary.

Such a person is harmless and useless, and it makes no difference whether he is dead or alive.

but……

Chen Ling's deep gaze paused on Yan Yuan's face.

He always has an indescribable weird intuition.

At the banquet, she was embarrassed by the officials, and her cowardly appearance made the Dingbeihou Mansion faceless; in the cabin, she was stunned when she saw the bloody scene, and she couldn't even cry. She was as pitiful as a scared bird. Stupid rabbit.

But it was also this person who pushed him away when the charcoal stove was dumped and no one had time to react.

Could it be a coincidence?
Or, the front is a disguise?
……

Thinking of this, a deep color flashed in Chen Ling's eyes.

His eyes fell on the coffee table beside the bed, where there was a plain gray thing safely, it was the needle bag that Luo Ziqiu left in a hurry and didn't have time to take it away.

Chen Ling sat down on the edge of the bed, bent down, took a needle from the needle bag, and pointed it at the blood vessels around Yan Yuan's neck.

The tip of the needle reaches one point.

On the bed, Yan Yuan's breathing was still calm.

The tip of the needle penetrates a centimeter.

Yan Yuan's face was still as calm as ever, and even her eyelashes did not tremble.

Chen Ling stared at her for a long time, and finally withdrew the needle, and the gloomy look in his eyes gradually faded away.It is impossible for a person not to be afraid of death, especially at such a vital point as the neck. If there is no defense, ordinary people will have an instinctive reaction.

She is indeed in a coma now.

So, where were you on the boat just now?

Doubt is like a seed, once it takes root, it is very difficult to pull out.

What's more, she is Yan Zhou's daughter.

Chen Ling paused for a deep breath, and the murderous intent rose slowly in his eyes again.

This time, he didn't make any more roundabout attempts, but stretched out his fingertips and slowly clasped Yan Yuan's neck.

His fingertips were as cold as water, while Yan Yuan's body on the bed was soft and delicate at the moment. The moment the two sides touched, Yan Yuan's body trembled, and even her breathing became heavy for a while.

Are you awake?
Chen Ling looked at Yan Yuan coldly.

He originally thought that Yan Yuan would pretend for a while, but he didn't expect that Yan Yuan didn't hold back her breath, she suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, and then she hugged his hand to her cheek and rubbed it.

The delicate and soft feeling invaded Chen Lingchen's entire palm.

Chen Lingchen: ...

"...It's so cold, take it away..."

The next moment, Yan Yuan, who was half asleep and half awake, pushed his hand away in disgust.

Chen Lingchen: ...

Yan Yuan's breathing was messy, she was probably half asleep and half awake, she slowly opened her eyes in the ups and downs.Her eyes were still a little foggy, so she wandered around the room in a daze like this, and finally landed on Chen Lingchen.

Yan Yuan blinked, her expression blank.

Chen Lingchen slowly withdrew his disgusted hand, and raised the corner of his mouth towards her: "The queen is awake?"

Yan Yuan stared fixedly at Chen Lingchen, and after a long time, she managed to make a sound: "Your Majesty...how do you..."

Probably because she woke up for the first time, her voice was still a little hoarse.

Chen Ling said calmly: "The boat sank, you floated to the shore and were rescued, remember?"

Yan Yuan looked a little confused, as if thinking about it for a while, her eyes widened after a while, and a terrified expression appeared on her face.She tightly grasped the quilt with her hands, and quickly pulled the quilt below her neck. The body under the quilt was visibly stiff.

"Dali Temple is already investigating the arsonists, the queen need not be afraid."

Chen Lingshen had a panoramic view of her reaction. He stared at her with a gentle voice, "The queen is in such a difficult situation. If you have any wish, just ask Gu, and Guzi will fulfill it for the queen."

Her entry into the palace was obviously a deal between Yan Zhou and the Queen Mother.

What about herself?
Does this pawn of hers know herself?

Chen Ling watched Yan Yuan calmly, waiting for her reply.

Yan Yuan's face was full of horror.

Gradually, the fear receded, the corners of her eyes gradually turned red, and even the tip of her nose was slightly flushed: "I...I miss my mother...I want to see my mother..."

There was a sobbing and crying voice.

Chen Ling was taken aback.

Yan Yuan quickly pulled the quilt over her head, and with a sobbing voice came from under the quilt in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty...I'm sorry, my concubine is rude..."

Having just experienced life and death, her first reaction was neither to fight for favor, nor to conspire, but to cry and want to see her mother.

Both pitiful and cowardly.

It was in line with her usual weak style.

Chen Ling lowered his eyebrows and fell silent for a moment, then finally stood up and said, "I will arrange for Mrs. Dingbeihou to enter the palace."

He turned his head and glanced at the small bulge on the bed, and said lightly, "Before then, the queen should rest well."

After speaking, he turned and left the bedroom.

The door opened, and a cool breeze blew into the room, blowing the candles in the room flickering.

The bedroom was filled with silence.

After an unknown amount of time, the wind gradually stopped, and the candlelight in the room returned to tranquility. Yan Yuan on the bed slowly put down the quilt, revealing a face without any trace of tears.

Fortunately, there is a quilt.

Yan Yuan, who couldn't cry, was extremely thankful, otherwise she would have had to hug her again.

She blinked, raised her wrist, and sniffed lightly near her nose.

It seems that some kind of plaster has been applied there, and there is still a faint fragrance left at this moment.

Smell it...it seems familiar.

Pausing for a moment, Yan Yuan's fingertips groped to her neck and touched it lightly.

She knew that there was a needle's eye there, and she thought that she only had to survive the temptation of the thin needle, and today was considered a pass, but she didn't expect that there would be Chen Lingchen's hand grabbing her neck behind her.

Just now, he really wanted to kill her.

Before today, she had only heard of the name of Chen Lingshen as a tyrant, and knew that he had been the puppet emperor for many years.But she always had a tinge of friendship with him that she shared weal and woe with, and never really regarded him as an enemy.

But this ungrateful bastard actually wanted to kill him?
……

It was already midnight.

Xiaoyu walked into the room with a small number of people from Wangshu Palace. They moved a wooden bucket soaked in medicinal baths into the room, and went back and forth many times. Carried a bucket of water, and finally filled the wooden bucket.

At that time Yan Yuan was still sitting on the bed, looking at the movement in front of her, puzzled.

Xiaoyu explained: "The imperial doctor who came to treat the empress today wrote a new prescription, and there is this prescription for soaking in medicinal baths."

New imperial doctor?
Yan Yuan was stunned: "Isn't it Mu Yuyi?"

Xiao Yu said: "Today's imperial doctor is young, I heard that he is serving His Majesty, he is not too young and has a strong tone."

Is it Chen Lingchen's imperial physician?
Yan Yuan stared at the tub thoughtfully.

"It's late at night, Xiaoyu and Xu Wan, you two should go to rest first." Yan Yuan got out of bed and walked to the tub, "Chen Niang just stay here."

Xiaoyu and Xu Wan followed orders and left the room.

Yan Yuan was still bowing her head in thought.

When she woke up just now, she only vaguely listened to half of what she didn't understand. It seemed that the imperial doctor was on her way to treat another important patient. Right now, her head was still a little confused, and there was only one thing that was extremely clear.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Chen Niang called softly, "The water will be cold, Your Majesty, please hurry up and take a bath."

"Not in a hurry."

Yan Yuan came back to her senses, and raised her wrist in front of Chen Niang.

"Help me identify, what kind of medicinal smell is this?"
