This queen is not too curly

Chapter 45 How much did she expose?

A woman has already entered the harem and became the emperor's wife and concubine. What reason does she have to hide her beauty and pretend to be just an inconspicuous grass on the wall?

The only reason could only be that she didn't like the emperor.

Chen Ling took a deep breath.

The look of Yan Yuan's lowered eyebrows and pleasing eyes appeared in his mind, and he slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.

Everyone thought that she was cowardly and cowardly like a rabbit because she was timid by nature and did not dare to look up at the sky.In the end, was it simply dislike?
Maybe it's not just because she doesn't like it, but because she hates it, but because she needs to rely on the life-saving medicine in the palace to treat her illness, she can only hold her nose, frown, marry into the palace, and hold her nose to be her queen in the palace .

Chen Ling said lightly, "He's really an unlucky person."

There was no expression on his face, only the thick eyelashes drooped slightly, robbing the light in his pupils.

...It's really unlucky.

Luo Ziqiu sighed softly, a pang of sympathy welled up in his heart.

This empress was originally just a pawn of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager valued her father's influence in the ruling and opposition parties even more.To her, she is just a sickly puppet, a queen who is so cowardly that everyone feels at ease, she only needs to live in Wangshu Palace, and beat the imperial concubine with disgust all the time, that's enough.

Unfortunately, it's not what it used to be.

Chen Lingchen had already seen her now, and with his temperament, he would definitely not let her go easily. I'm afraid that it would be difficult for her to go back to the past in the future.

Isn't he just an unlucky ghost?

Miserable.

The carriage headed north all the way towards the direction of the imperial mausoleum.The weather in the mountains was changeable, and not long after, the sun was hidden in the dark clouds, and the cold autumn rain fell from the sky, mixed with the wind and poured on the carriage, and the moisture of the grass and trees wafted into the nostrils.

Luo Ziqiu leaned over to pull the car window, before closing the window, he glanced behind.

Behind their carriages and horses should be Yan Yuan's car, Yan Yuan's expression was not good before they set off, now it's cold and windy, she has a cold disease, can she support it?

Luo Ziqiu was a little worried, and hesitantly said: "It's raining, and the empress is weak, so it's probably not easy."

Chen Ling didn't speak.

Luo Ziqiu withdrew his gaze. This was not something he could interfere with. He averted his gaze and returned to his position as if nothing had happened. When he raised his head, he found that Chen Lingchen's expression was a little strange.

He lost his mind.

The rabbit next to him sensed his breathing, cocked its ears, and jumped onto his lap.

Chen Ling's eyes had not yet turned away from the direction of the car window, and a rare hesitation appeared on his usually indifferent face.

He kept his original posture motionless, and after a long time, he finally lowered his eyelashes.

Chen Ling said in a low voice, "Ziqiu."

Luo Ziqiu bowed his head: "My minister is here."

"If a person... has wounds on his body, and walks in the snow and ice for seven days and seven nights..."

Chen Ling's voice was low and slow, and there was some indescribable hesitation in his eyes:
"Is that person... still alive?"

Luo Ziqiu pretended that he didn't see it, and looked away without showing any signs.

He knew who Chen Lingshen was asking, and it was a young frontier general named Ning Bai.

Another savior of his.

He didn't know what the past was between Chen Lingchen and Ning Bai, but he only knew that Chen Lingchen had never given up on finding that person's whereabouts all these years.It's just that the mountains and rivers at the junction of the two countries are densely covered with forests, and half of the year is covered with heavy snow, so it is really difficult to find.

That young general named Ning Bai must have died long ago.

Luo Ziqiu thought for a while and said, "That depends on the opponent's physical condition and injury. If the injury is not serious and the physique is strong, it is not impossible to survive, but..."

Chen Ling's complexion changed: "Just what?"

Luo Ziqiu said: "If you want to live a good life, it may not be easy."

Chen Ling's expression dimmed visibly with the naked eye.

Luo Ziqiu lowered his head, dormant quietly.After all, he was just a counselor, not a Da Luo god. He was powerless to change what had happened, and he didn't want to give Chen Ling hopeless.

"Your Majesty, those three corpses have already arrived in another courtyard."

"Even though His Majesty is worried, these years have passed, so why bother yourself now?"

Luo Ziqiu observed Chen Ling's serious expression, and comforted him softly:
"I will see you tomorrow, the truth will naturally become clear, and the Holy One will finally have peace of mind."

Three years later, the third wave of people sent to the border finally did not return empty-handed.They found clues in the depths of the snow field, and followed them to find the traces of the reconnaissance team. Finally, they lived up to expectations and brought back three corpses.

Three feet of ice under the lake in a bitterly cold place escorted three intact corpses, and they were secretly transported to the imperial mausoleum outside the imperial capital, waiting for Chen Lingchen to identify them.

This is the real purpose of this royal mausoleum sacrifice.

Chen Ling lowered his brows and eyes like a statue.

After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and lightly touched the ears of the rabbit in his arms with his bony fingertips.

Can you really feel at ease?

……

It was raining outside, and Yan Yuan in the carriage was really uncomfortable.

She slept on the small couch in the carriage. Even though she was wrapped in a thick quilt, she still felt that every pore was being invaded by the cold. She was sweating on her forehead, but her body felt inexplicably cold.

"My lady, my lady, are you feeling better? Would you like some more ginger tea?"

Xiaoyu's voice seemed far away in the sky.

Yan Yuan managed to open a slit of her eyes, and muttered, "...the legs are sore...the pain..."

"Legs are sore? Is it sore or hurt? Why does it hurt? Are you injured?"

Xiaoyu's voice became more and more panicked.She has taken care of Yan Yuan for three years, and she has never heard her cry out for pain a few times. Now Yan Yuan is crying out for pain in a drowsy manner, and she is so distressed that tears are about to fly: "My lady..."

In the end, she was kicked out of the carriage by Ruan Zhu: "What's the noise, go outside and finish crying before coming in!"

As soon as Xiaoyu left the carriage, Yan Yuan's surroundings instantly became quiet.

Ruan Zhu knelt down in front of her, and slowly pressed Yan Yuan's calf with his warm fingertips.Yan Yuan's tightly locked brows finally loosened gradually, her breathing gradually stabilized, and the whispers in her throat finally changed slightly.

Ruan Zhu wanted to hear, but couldn't hear what she was saying, only thought she was talking in sleep.

Yan Yuan actually did not lose consciousness.

She was just too tired, holding her breath in her heart, and had nowhere to vent, so she could only scold Chen Lingchen over and over again: "You don't know what to do..."

Cursing and cursing, I was really sleepy.

Yan Yuan was sleeping soundly, and when she opened her eyes again, the convoy had already stopped at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum.

With Ruan Zhu's support, she got off the carriage, and the first thing she saw was a majestic mountain gate.The mountain gate stood upright among the high mountains, the white stone was carved with exquisite dragon beads, and the evergreen pines and cypresses stood in the mountains, which was indescribably solemn.

At that time, Chen Ling stood in front of the mountain gate, looking up at the high mountain gate. His thin body was hidden in a large black brocade shirt, and there seemed to be a faint layer of moisture around his body.

Yan Yuan stood a dozen steps away and looked at him.

Chen Ling turned her head back, the sarcasm in her eyes was still too late to hold back, when she saw Yan Yuan, the sarcasm faded away and turned into something moist and sticky like running water.

eye contact.

The corners of Chen Ling's mouth turned upwards: "The queen is awake."

Yan Yuan looked at him silently.

She just woke up at this moment, and when she saw him again, she still felt pain in her eyeballs.

But at least she has calmed down, unlike when she was outside the tent, she was full of thoughts of smashing the pot, rushing up to beat Chen Lingchen.

She has enough energy to think about what happened in the early morning:
The joke-like assassination by Qiu Yu last night should have been a trap that Chen Lingchen had laid long ago.He had doubts about her since the night of the fire boat, and then sent Ruan Zhu and the others to monitor her schedule, but it was just a bluff. His real temptation had already been arranged, and he was only waiting for the time to sacrifice to the imperial tomb. , she got herself into the urn.

He probably didn't arrange the subsequent rain of arrows, but he should have known about it a long time ago, so he transferred his own soldiers at night, and set up a situation where the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.

Originally, she had survived last night's temptation safely...but she was not able to watch Qiu Yufu die.

Yan Yuan closed her eyes, and the thoughts in her mind gradually became clear.

So the crucial questions now are:
How much did she expose?
Thoughts are flying in Yan Yuan's mind, and countless possibilities are churning in her mind:

In fact, thinking about it carefully, she didn't lie to Chen Lingchen much.

Her queen was handpicked by the queen mother, and Chen Lingshen knew who she was.At most, she just hid some of her edge, there are so many duplicity people in this palace, this kind of deception is not too serious, is it?
As for those old things.

What Ning Bai did has nothing to do with Yan Yuan?

……

Yan Yuan saluted with a smile on her face: "The concubine has slept for a long time, which made His Majesty worry."

Chen Ling stared deeply into her eyes, and after a long time, he curled the corners of his mouth: "Gu Today is indeed... always concerned about the queen."

His voice was low, and his eyes slowly swept across Yan Yuan's face.

Since we parted in the early morning, she had been sleeping in the carriage, and he had no chance to meet her again, but curiosity took root in his heart bit by bit.

He wanted to know what she would look like when he met again after being exposed.Will he kneel down in panic and beg for mercy, admitting his crime of deceiving the emperor; or will he smash the jar, just like when we parted in the early morning, so arrogant that he didn't even look back?
He was really, a little too curious.

Therefore, when the carriage arrived at the imperial mausoleum, he waited all day long and waited for her at the same place.

She didn't wake up immediately, Ruan Zhu called several times at the window of the carriage, and then a vague voice sounded from inside the carriage: "Don't shout... wait a while."

Although the voice is soft, the tone is full of domineering.

Everyone was a little embarrassed, but Chen Lingchen didn't say anything, so they naturally didn't dare to urge her, so they could only let her sleep soundly for a while in the carriage before finally waking her up again.

This time Yan Yuan finally woke up.There were rustlings in the carriage, and after a while, she slowly got out of the carriage wearing a thick fur coat.

When she met his gaze, the expression on her face changed from bewilderment to calm, and finally there was a reserved smile on her pale little face.

"The concubine slept for a long time, which made His Majesty worry."

The gentle girl bowed gracefully, even her eyelashes were soft.

It was as if nothing had happened.

"..."

This is a bit shameless.
