The wife of the power minister's family

Song Qingyun, who was following Xu Jing, couldn't help but whisper: "It smells so good."

Indeed, Concubine Fang's room was filled with the rich fragrance of roses, so strong that it was even a bit choking.

Prince Ling and Concubine Ling also lit incense in their rooms, but the aroma was relatively moderate, not as strong and smoky as Concubine Fang's room.

Governor Zhang couldn't help but frown, but he didn't say anything and walked straight in.

Concubine Fang's room was not like Prince Ling's room. As soon as they entered, someone led them into the inner room. When Governor Zhang walked outside the curtain leading to the inner room, he stopped in embarrassment and said, "Concubine Concubine, Can I come in?"

Soon, the female voice from before sounded again, "Prince Zhang, please come in."

After Xu Jing and the others walked in, they discovered that Concubine Fang was sitting on the bed with a big belly. A maid had just stood up from her feet, and it seemed that she had just finished putting on her shoes.

Everyone immediately understood why no one opened the door for them just now.

Concubine Fang only had a maid to serve her, and she was still pregnant, which was a bit inconvenient.

Concubine Fang seemed to feel that she had neglected her guests, so she smiled sheepishly, stood up and said, "Please sit down, everyone. I apologize for my poor hospitality.

It’s true that I only have one Sanye beside me, so I can’t spare any manpower. "

But I saw that Concubine Fang was very young, small and exquisite, as pretty as a rose, and her appearance was absolutely nothing to say. Any normal man who saw her would probably feel a little pity, but her expression at this time The color of her lips and lips were both pale, and her beautiful watery eyes seemed to be turning slightly uneasily, as if a frightened little beast was trying to look calm.

The maidservant Sanye next to her was completely opposite to her. She had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was not good-looking, but she always carefully protected Fang Concubine.

Hearing Concubine Fang's words, she murmured in a low voice with some dissatisfaction: "That's why we, Concubine Fang, don't fight or fight, so we go on the road with a big belly and don't have more than one person to serve us. If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to do it." I wish I had a group of people surrounding our concubine..."

"Three leaves!"

Concubine Fang immediately stopped her words, but there was not much condemnation in her tone.

Xu Jing looked them over, and after bowing, she smiled lightly and said, "It's really not appropriate for the concubine to be pregnant with only one person serving her."

Concubine Fang shook her head slightly, seeming a little uneasy and said: "No, your highness and the concubine had sent people around them to take care of me before, but...many people have disappeared in the past few days, your highness and the concubine. There are not many people serving the Dowager Empress, so there are no extra manpower to send here..."

"That's it."

Xu Jing nodded, suddenly looked at Concubine Fang and said: "Concubine Concubine doesn't seem to be looking very well. Do you need to ask a doctor to take a look? Or if I have some medical skills, Concubine Fang can help Concubine Concubine have a safe pulse." That’s okay too.”

Concubine Fang was stunned for a moment, then smiled reluctantly and said: "No, there's nothing big going on with me. It's just that too many things have happened recently and I'm a little uneasy... Besides, the concubine still cares about me very much. Almost every two days, a doctor will be invited to take a look at my body, and the doctor only came to see me yesterday."

Seeing that Concubine Fang was resolute, Xu Jing did not continue to insist, and said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, the pregnant women I have seen before are very careful about food, clothing, housing and transportation, for fear that if they are not careful, they will hurt the baby in the belly. After that, not only did I not dare to eat anything randomly, I also didn't dare to use aromatherapy casually.

But my wife had just entered the concubine's room, and unexpectedly found that the concubine's room had a strong aroma. "The smell was so strong that Xu Jing felt that the aroma rushed straight to her forehead after smelling it too much, making her head feel dizzy.

Concubine Fang's face seemed to turn pale, and she pursed her lips slightly and said, "That's true, but I asked the doctor about this rose scented scent, and he said it is harmless to pregnant women, so I only use it."

Sanye next to her continued: "Concubine Concubine was mainly frightened by the previous murders. At that time, Concubine Concubine saw the horrific murder scene. She was so frightened that Concubine Concubine vomited for several days. She also vomited at night. Frequent nightmares.

Not to mention the concubine, even the slave girl was nauseated for several days. The smell of blood seemed to linger in her nose and would not go away.

Not to mention, a few days ago, even...even the princess was killed, and the princess's room was right next to the room of the concubine. The concubine was under a lot of pressure these days, but she didn't even have anyone to talk to. nothing.

That’s why the concubine would light up such a strong incense just to make herself feel better..."

While Sanye was speaking, Concubine Fang's eyes also turned red, as if confirming what Sanye said.

Governor Zhang on the side frowned slightly, obviously unable to bear it, and said: "Concubine, you don't have to worry too much. There are people guarding the inn now, so even if the criminal wants to do anything, it will be difficult."

Concubine Fang raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, saying: "I hope so, I really... really don't want to see anyone get into trouble again..."

That look really made me feel pity for him.

It seemed that she was really afraid that something would happen to someone else.

Xu Jing looked at her and suddenly said: "I came here because I have a few questions to ask the concubine. On the night when the princess was killed, the concubine went to the princess's room. Can you tell me specifically about that? Is it too late?"

When Concubine Fang heard this, her face turned pale again. After a while, she nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem. On the day of my concubine... it is the custom to greet me. On weekdays, the princess will call me out immediately. It's not too bad. I talked to me patiently, but that day, the princess rarely talked to me in a pleasant manner for a while, and later... I heard from Grandma Lu that the princess seemed to be so happy because she was about to meet her relatives in Xijing."

"Oh? Can you tell me specifically what the princess said to the concubine?"

"It's... nothing special. I just... asked about my physical condition and asked me to take good care of the fetus. Then I complained about the fatigue of traveling and said that I had never been to Xijing. , told me about the situation in Xijing City..."

Xu Jing suddenly smiled, "It seems that the princess was in a really good mood that day. Normally, she is too impatient to talk to the concubine, but she actually talked so many words in a row that day, and she even cared about the concubine's belly. children."

Concubine Fang glanced at Xu Jing warily, and said with a smile: "This is natural, she is the princess after all. When my child is born, she will also call the princess mother concubine..."

"Ah."

Xu Jing nodded and suddenly said: "I seem to be a little thirsty. I wonder if there is tea here?"

As soon as she said this, several people who followed her in looked at Xu Jing in confusion.

Why didn't she say she was thirsty when she was with Prince Ling and Princess Ling?
Moreover, no matter how thirsty you are, you won’t immediately ask Concubine Fang for water, right? No matter how you look at it, this doesn’t look like something Xu Jing would do!
Haha, in this case, the purpose of committing the crime is the key to solving the problem~
