I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 99 Handle
Leaving Jinxiu Pavilion, Qu Lingxu did not go back to Jianjia Courtyard to rest immediately, but endured the fatigue on her body and went to the cold

Ku, although the emperor strictly ordered that no mourning be allowed, but the guards of the cold storage are all servants of the general's mansion, seeing Qu Lingxu's firm tone, they didn't dare to stop her too much, so they had to open the door and let her in.

The ancients did not have air-conditioning, but all wealthy and noble families would build a cold storage in the mansion. When the river freezes in winter, the thick layer of ice is chiseled and stored in the cold storage. When the summer is hot, the ice cubes are removed from the cold storage. Take it out, chisel it into pieces, mix it with salt and put it in the house to cool off the heat. In order to prevent Chen’s body from decomposing too quickly, Xu Guifei ordered people to fetch all the unused ice cubes in the palace in summer and pile them into a cold storage , place it inside.

The temperature in the cold storage was extremely low. As soon as Qu Lingxu walked in, she felt the chill seeping through her body. Even the sleepiness on her body was mostly dispelled. However, he grabbed her wrist and said timidly: "Master, slave..."

Qu Lingxu knew that Yun Yi's parents were still alive, and that he might have never seen a dead person in his life, which was completely different from himself who had dissected countless corpses, so he said calmly: "You go and wait for me outside the door, if something happens, I will call you .”

"Master, servant girl should stay with you..." Although Yun Yi was afraid, she couldn't leave Qu Lingxu here alone, she was gritting her teeth and wanted to move on, but she heard Qu Lingxu say again: "Go out , if you stay here, I have to take care of your emotions and be even more distracted."

Although Qu Lingxu's tone was as gentle as usual, the meaning in his words was undeniable, so Yun Yi had no choice but to stop and turn around to leave the cold storage.

Mrs. Chen was lying quietly on the big mahogany bed in the middle of the cold storage. She had been dead for four days, her face was covered with corpse spots, and her body was completely ossified. But even so, Qu Lingxu could still see the pain on her face. Meaning, the fear and unwillingness to die, like a sharp sword, pierced straight into Qu Lingxu's heart.

"Mother, you won't die in vain." Although Qu Lingxu was not the daughter of the Chen family, she had always had a clear grievance. Since she occupied the original owner's body, she naturally wanted to seek justice for the original owner's mother.

The temperature in the cold storage was too low to stay for a long time. Qu Lingxu took out the necessary tools from the doctor's system and carefully performed an autopsy on Mrs. Chen. As expected, an obvious soft tissue contusion was found on the left wrist of the other party, which should be Mrs. Chen's. It was found that someone dragged her and was injured by the other party when she was struggling. In addition, a small corner was missing at the hem of her robe, which should have been torn during the struggle.

With these two points, it was enough. If she didn't expect it, the piece of fabric should still be in the artificial lake. After all, Mrs. Chen is dead, so why would anyone care about these details?

Speaking of it, I have to thank the emperor for keeping the funeral secret, otherwise if the clothes were changed early, the truth would be even more impossible to find out.

Next, she will make use of these two points to make a fuss, Mrs. Xu, you have to keep going!

Although Qu Lingxu's movements were fast, it was half an hour after leaving the cold storage. Yun Yi was anxiously waiting outside, when she heard the door, she rushed over to hold Qu Lingxu's cold arm, and said with concern : "Master, how are you doing?"

Qu Lingxu looked back at the cold storage behind him, shook his head lightly, "It's okay, let's go back!"

No matter what she did, it was impossible for Chen Shi to come back to life.

The greatest sorrow in life is nothing more than this.

Such a lost mood has been shrouded in Qu Lingxu, even after returning to the bedroom, there is no improvement, because there is no news from Ling Xiaolingyun, Qu Lingxu is exhausted but not sleepy, just poured a glass of strong The tea was held in his hand, shaking gently one after another.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting like this, when someone suddenly covered her with a cloak from behind, Qu Lingxu was startled, subconsciously took two steps back, and looked up, but it was that familiar face.

Thinking that he came all the way, Leng Yuanxun's resolute eyes were faintly haggard, but at this time, his eyes were so gentle, there was not much explanation, and there was no superfluous comfort, just a light sentence, " I'm back."

Such a familiar tone, like a relative who has returned from a long journey.

"It seems that you and Mo Ruyu have become friends." Qu Lingxu tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't force a smile as he wished. He simply didn't insist anymore, just raised his hand and poured a cup of tea in front of him. On the table, he said lightly, "I think we will see the outcome soon, let's wait together."

Leng Yuanxun nodded slightly, and sat down beside Qu Lingxu. After a long silence, he finally said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry for Lingtang's death."

"You weren't the one who killed my mother, and you weren't the one who ordered the funeral to be kept secret." Qu Lingxu drank the strong tea in front of her and said coldly, "If you really want to blame it, it's because I'm too soft-hearted , failed to get rid of the mother and daughter early."

"Since they dare to do it, I will definitely not let them retreat." Leng Yuanxun shook Qu Lingxu's icy hand, wishing he could help her share the pain of worry, and he said again after a while: "Tomorrow the court Above, everything will be handled by me, you don't have to worry about it."

"I'm fine." It's strange to say that it's been a long time since Qu Lingxu saw Leng Yuanxun again, not only did he not feel any strangeness, but instead felt an unprecedented sense of dependence, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.

"Of course you will be fine, and those who have trouble are those who disturb the wind and rain." Leng Yuanxun smiled coldly, "I didn't plan to put Murong Li to death so soon, because if he fell, Murong Jing would lose his balance , the power of the prince's party will inevitably increase greatly, and the situation will become even more difficult to control, but now it seems that my idea is not outrageously wrong."

"The weather has been smooth these years, and there hasn't been any major wars. Logically speaking, the treasury should be very abundant, but most of the money was used by the emperor to build the palace and enjoy himself wantonly, so that the treasury was empty. The life and death of the people, no matter who will pass the throne to in the future, the people will not have a good life, no wonder the Red Lotus Sect wants to rebel." Qu Lingxu is familiar with history and is used to the success and failure of various Wang Chao, but he doesn't think so. What's the big deal, I just read Zhang Yanghao's poem unknowingly, "Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer."

? "In the midst of turbulent currents, high-ranking and powerful people can't protect themselves wisely, let alone ordinary people who are floating like duckweed." Leng Yuanxun's eyes fell on the gently rippling ripples in the tea, and suddenly he said softly: "If I It is said that everything I do now is what I intend to..."

Before Leng Yuanxun could finish speaking, he heard a sound outside, and then, a familiar black figure knelt in front of Qu Lingxu on one knee, and said respectfully, "Master, I'm caught."

Ling Xiao has been with Leng Yuanxun for many years, and he felt the other party's breath before he entered the door. However, he never looked at Leng Yuanxun from the beginning to the end. He only regarded him as a transparent person. Seeing this scene, Qu Lingxu didn't notice it. Laughing secretly, this guy just wants to show his loyalty, so why should he be so exaggerated?

After silently complaining, Qu Lingxu asked, "What did you find?"

"Just as the master expected, Mrs. Xu took advantage of the dead of night to send someone out of the mansion to deliver a letter, but was intercepted by his subordinates and Ling Yun, but... the man he sent out of the mansion was not an ordinary servant, but a secret guard, the secret guard Martial arts are extremely high, if he hadn't been unprepared beforehand, and he was one against two, the subordinates would not be sure to catch him, now Ling Yun is watching him, not letting him have the chance to seek death."

dark guard.

There are hidden guards beside Xu.

Qu Lingxu and Leng Yuanxun looked at each other, and they both saw it clearly in each other's eyes.

Secret guards are different from ordinary guards. They must be trained from an early age and undergo strict training in force and loyalty. This process can take as little as ten years and as many as fourteen or five years. What people can do must be sent by Xu Miracle Physician.

The cultivation of hidden guards more than ten years ago shows the strength and ambition of Miracle Doctor Xu.

"It's useless, I can't ask anything." Qu Lingxu shook his head slightly, "Have you ever got the letter?"

"I got it." After being reminded by Qu Lingxu, Ling Xiao just remembered that he had missed the most important thing, and quickly took out a flat letter from his sleeve and handed it forward, "Mr. With the skills of the hidden guards, he will still be caught, Xin Fang is so conspicuous."

Qu Lingxu took out the unsealed letter, the content of the letter was very simple, only a few words "Qu Lingxu has returned home, fear of change." There is no title at the beginning and the end, which shows that Xu is a cautious person.

But these are enough.

"If the dark guard has not returned, Mrs. Xu must have doubts. Tonight...I'm afraid I won't sleep peacefully." Qu Lingxu handed the letter to Leng Yuanxun, "I will leave the rest to you."

Although the gate of the city has already been closed at this moment, as Leng Yuanxun's imperial envoy, he naturally has the right to enter the city at any time. If he happens to find a suspicious person in the city and order someone to take him down, it is not unreasonable.

Leng Yuanxun naturally understood what Qu Lingxu meant, and said with a faint smile: "You are running around all day these days, go and rest quickly, if you don't sleep well, how can you have the energy to watch this good show tomorrow."

"That's right." Qu Lingxu stretched her waist, walked to the window, looked at the moonlight outside, and said to herself: "Some people are destined to never see such a beautiful moonlight." With only one unsigned letter, she is naturally not sure to bring down Murong Li, but Xu Shi will never have the opportunity to make trouble in front of her again.

The night passed by slowly, maybe because she was too tired, Qu Lingxu didn't have a dream, but slept until dawn, and when she woke up, she only felt refreshed.
