Chapter 360 Is She Still Alive? !
After a few days, rumors suddenly spread in the palace, and they spread to the queen's ears very quickly.

"What did you say?!" Hearing Yingluo's report, the queen frowned fiercely, her eyes full of hostility.

Yingluo shook her body, glanced at the empress' red eyes, and said bravely, "Mother, slave... I just heard people talking about it, maybe... maybe it's just nonsense, please... please Calm down your anger."

The queen didn't speak, but a cold and poisonous light came out of her eyes, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and a chill ran up Yingluo's spine.

She also didn't know whether it was right or wrong to tell the Queen what she said.

In the past few days, a rumor began to circulate in the palace, saying that Concubine Xiao Gui did not die at the beginning, but was secretly hidden by Emperor Zhao, and had been living in the palace for so many years.

She is an old man by the empress's side. When the empress was in Xue's house, she served her personally. Later, she entered the palace with the empress and watched her walk all the way to her current position.Naturally, she knew that noble concubine Xiao Lingyi had always been a thorn in her heart that could not be removed.

Now, upon hearing the news that Concubine Xiao Gui has not died for so many years, the Empress will naturally feel extremely horrified.

She felt uneasy, and the queen finally spoke again, with a hoarse tone and a ghostly expression, "Where... did you hear about this rumor?"

"Everyone is spreading the word on the road. As for where it came from, I don't know yet." Yingluo lowered her head and replied cautiously.

The light in the Queen's eyes became colder, and the long nails dug into the armrests of the chair, but she didn't seem to notice, staring at nothing in front of her, her expression reminded people of a ghost from hell.

how is this possible?How could that bitch Xiao Lingyi be still alive?

At the beginning, she was obviously suffering from a poisonous disease, so how could she have lived for more than ten years without any harm? !Impossible, impossible, something must be wrong.

Her body trembled a little, and her heart was flustered.

Suddenly, she remembered something, and her body froze suddenly.

That day Ruan Yingying told her that the emperor looked at her and said something vague, "If only she could be as well-behaved as you."

Is it...

Here, she refers to Xiao Lingyi?

If this is the case, with Emperor Zhao's strong desire to control, she must have been living in the palace for the past ten years, maybe just a stone's throw away from her.

Together with this thought, I suddenly felt a layer of goose bumps all over my body, and the coolness rushed from the soles of my feet to the sky.

If Xiao Lingyi was really still alive, wouldn't he be able to hide the fact that he poisoned her back then?Given how precious Emperor Zhao was to Xiao Lingyi, the reason why he didn't attack him for a long time was probably just because he was afraid of the power of the Xue family in the court.

Could it be that there is also a reason for Emperor Zhao to dislike the Xue family more and more recently?

The charcoal fire burning inside the Mingming Hall was as warm as spring, but she felt as if her whole body had fallen into a cave of ice, and she couldn't help shivering.

Thinking about Emperor Zhao being in a bad mood recently, and saying that to Ruan Yingying inexplicably, could it be... because Xiao Lingyi disobeyed him?
Originally, there were only fragments of thoughts in her mind, but they were completely pieced together at this moment, which made the queen feel cold all over.How many secrets are hidden here?

She clenched her five fingers, took a deep breath and managed to calm herself down, then suppressed the suspicion and fear in her eyes and looked at Yingluo, with a hoarse voice, "Yingluo, find a chance to go out of the palace for me today."

Yingluo collected her thoughts, and asked respectfully, "I don't know what orders the empress has?"

"Bengong will write a letter, you must deliver it to brother Bengong yourself." The Queen's tone was cold.

"Yes." Frightened by the viciousness in her tone, Yingluo's expression froze, and she hurriedly responded.

The queen didn't speak anymore, and turned back to the inner hall with a gloomy expression.

At this time, Emperor Zhao's bedroom was even more stormy.

Porcelain was broken all over the white jade floor, and the servants in the palace stood aside with their heads bowed, not daring to breathe, fearing that Emperor Zhao's anger would spread to him.

Like the empress, it is obvious that Emperor Zhao also heard about the raging rumors in the palace, and he even knew about it earlier than the empress.

No one dared to speak, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to be frozen, and the temperature dropped to zero.

Emperor Zhao sat on the head with a gloomy face, his eyes were cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.Even the always clever Wang Xi shut up at this moment, not daring to say a word.

When the incense in the censer was about to burn out, footsteps finally came from outside the hall.

Wang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked towards the entrance of the hall.

Appearing at the door was a Jin Yiwei who walked hurriedly. He went straight into the hall, knelt down on one knee in front of Emperor Zhao, and said in a calm voice, "This subordinate has seen the emperor."

Emperor Zhao's dull eyes finally had some life, his brows were furrowed, and he said deeply, "How is it?"

Jin Yiwei's body seemed to be stiff for a moment, but he recovered quickly, lowered his head, and said in a hesitant voice, "If you go back to the emperor, for the time being... we haven't found out who is behind the scenes yet."

When Emperor Zhao heard this, his forbearable anger erupted in an instant, and he slapped the table with his palm, and shouted angrily, "Are they all a bunch of idiots? This rumor spread to everyone in less than a day, and there must be someone behind it." Adding fuel to the flames! Such a trivial matter, you can't find out?"

Jin Yiwei knew that Emperor Zhao was angry, so he didn't dare to argue, his head almost dropped to the ground.

Emperor Zhao took a few breaths, and finally calmed down a little, his eyes seemed to burst into flames.

"King Han, is there any movement?" He said sadly.

"Han Wang's side, everything is normal recently." Jin Yiwei said.

Emperor Zhao frowned, his eyes clouded with suspicion.

If he was still skeptical about Concubine Xiao's disappearance before, it's hard for him not to suspect Shen Chuhan when it happened today.Besides him, who else has such ability and courage?

If Shen Chuhan is really inseparable from Concubine Xiao's disappearance, then he cannot be kept anyway.

Thinking that he planned so many things without anyone noticing, Emperor Zhao felt a headache.

Shen Chuhan is not a thing in the pool, and now he hates himself even more, if he stays for one more day, he will be more dangerous.It seems that I have to make plans early.

"Let me investigate again!" He restrained his thoughts and ordered sharply, "King Han, send more people to watch over him!" Now that Shen Chuhan's wings are getting richer, if he wants to deal with him, he needs to think long-term, otherwise he will inevitably be backlashed.

Jin Yiwei hurriedly responded in a deep voice, saluted and was about to leave when Emperor Zhao suddenly thought of something, "Wait a minute."

"What other orders does the emperor have?"

Emperor Zhao narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes, "Princess Han, send someone to keep an eye on her too!"

"Yes."

Jin Yiwei agreed, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Seeing his figure disappearing outside the hall, Emperor Zhao suddenly felt dizzy and felt so stuffy that he couldn't breathe. He stumbled and sat down on the chair, panting heavily.

When Wang Xi saw it, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Emperor Zhao didn't make a sound, but his expression was somewhat uncomfortable.

Wang Xi frowned, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? This servant will send someone to invite the imperial physician."

"No need." Emperor Zhao waved his hand, stopped him, and rubbed the center of his brows, "It's just that I've been too tired recently, and I know my body."

He has martial arts in his body, and he usually pays attention to maintenance. His health has always been good, so he didn't take it to heart.

Wang Xi was impatient and didn't want to talk too much. He glanced at the little Fuzi below and ordered in a low voice, "Bring the emperor a pot of hot tea."

Xiao Fuzi bowed in response, stepped back, and soon came in again with a brewed teapot.

When he came in, Wang Xi was talking with the emperor. "Your Majesty, no matter what, you have to take care of yourself."

Emperor Zhao said "hmm", "Do you think this matter...has something to do with him?"

Wang Xi was about to speak, but when he saw Xiao Fuzi coming in, he stopped and told him to put down the teapot and back away.

After Xiao Fuzi left, Wang Xi poured a cup of tea for Emperor Zhao and handed it over, "Your Majesty, have a sip of tea first."

Emperor Zhao took it, took a sip slowly, and Wang Xi continued what he said just now, "The imperial concubine has lived in the underground palace for more than ten years, and she has no power in the palace for a long time. According to my slave, it is indeed as the emperor said. It is more likely that King Han did this matter."

After drinking a cup of hot tea and warming his internal organs, Emperor Zhao felt a little better.But after hearing Wang Xi's words, his eyebrows and eyes collapsed again, he snorted coldly, and put the teacup heavily, "I have seen his wolfish ambition long ago, but I didn't expect him to be so courageous. Sure enough, when I was It shouldn't be soft."

Although Shen Chuhan is his own flesh and blood, but this kind of son who regards him as an enemy is fine.If he hadn't been afraid that Ling Yi would be sad, he would have dealt with him long ago, so why did he wait until now to cause a serious trouble to his confidant?

It's just that it's too late to say this now.Emperor Zhao was depressed, talked to Wang Xi briefly, and went back to the inner hall to rest.

*
Song Qinghuan naturally knew about the affairs in the palace very quickly.

Shen Chuhan's plan had been mentioned to her before, so she was not surprised to hear about it now.It's just that Emperor Zhao must be very anxious for this meeting.

The weather has turned warm recently, and Song Qinghuan had eaten breakfast, so she was carrying Youyou around in the yard.

Ever since she found out that Youyou had spiritual power that day, she has been paying close attention to it.But except for that one time, Youyou didn't show any abnormality at other times, and she gradually let go of her heart.

It seems that Youyou is still young, and her spiritual power is not strong enough. Presumably, she will not be noticed by the Fulan tribe for the time being.

only--

She was a little curious about her situation.

I don't know how the concubine mother sealed her spiritual power?Why doesn't she feel anything?

She carried Youyou into the pavilion in the courtyard, put Youyou on the seat in the pavilion, and sat down beside her.While watching Youyou having a great time, she was thinking about something on her mind.

After thinking about it, he suddenly lowered his head, took out the Qingluan jade pendant from his chest, took it off, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

This jade pendant was the only thing left to her by her mother and concubine, and it was always by her side. Except for the high-quality material and the deep meaning of the pattern, it seemed to be an ordinary jade pendant.But last time when she was helping Shen Chuhan to heal his injuries, something strange suddenly appeared, and up to now she has not come up with a reasonable explanation.

Moreover, there was one thing she hadn't figured out.

She had lived in another parallel time and space for more than twenty years, and in that time and space, she had always worn this jade pendant.

After reliving two lives, the memory of that time and space was already blurred, as if it was gradually erased from her mind, and she couldn't even remember how she got this jade pendant.So, is the Qingluan jade pendant she wore in that time and space the same as the current one?Or, just a coincidence?

Song Qinghuan rubbed the jade pendant with her thumb, frowning slightly, a little preoccupied.

Youyou played on her own for a while, seeing that her mother was ignoring her, she "hangchihangchi" climbed onto her lap.Song Qinghuan was brought back to her thoughts by her, and hugged Youyou, "Where are you going to climb? You are getting skinnier, how can you look like a girl?"

Youyou seemed to understand what she said, blinked, and then "giggled" to laugh.

Song Qinghuan had no choice but to glance at her, "You little girl, you like to laugh so much, I don't know who you inherited it from."

Liuyue at the side joked, "Naturally, it is inherited from His Highness. It is said that girls who love to laugh are blessed, and the little princess must be a lucky one in the future."

Song Qinghuan looked up at her, frowning, "Your mouth is quite sweet."

Liu Yue pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were full of light.

At this moment, when he heard footsteps coming, Song Qinghuan put back his smile and looked at Shen Xing.Shen Xing understood, and opened the curtain to look out.

Soon heard her voice, "What's the matter?"

"Sister Shen Xing, Mu Bai is asking to see you." It was the voice of a little maid who answered her.

Shen Xing turned to look at Song Qinghuan, "Your Highness, Mu Bai asks to see you."

Song Qinghuan raised his brows, Mu Bai came here at this time, could there be something wrong? "Ask him to come here."

Shen Xing complied, and gave instructions to the little maid.

Soon, there was a rush of footsteps outside the pavilion.Shen Xing raised the curtain and invited Mu Bai in.

"This subordinate has met Young Madam." Mu Bai looked at Song Qinghuan and saluted.

Song Qing smiled and nodded, handed Youyou to Liu Yue, pointed to the couch in front of her, "Sit down and talk."

Mu Bai didn't refuse, thanked him and sat down.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Song Qinghuan looked at him and asked with a smile.

But Mu Bai pursed his lips a little hesitantly.

Song Qinghuan was slightly surprised.

Shen Xing and Liu Yue are both his own people, Mu Bai naturally knew this, but he still hesitated. Could it be that what he wanted to say today was not some kind of intelligence?
Thinking of this, Song Qinghuan's heart moved, she looked at Liuyue and Shen Xing and said, "Take the little Princess for a walk in the yard."

Liu Yue and Shen Xing also roughly understood what was going on, and they should have been blessed, and walked out of the pavilion with the little princess in their arms.

Song Qinghuan's lips curled into a smile, and he turned back to Mu Bai, "Mubai, can we talk about it now?"

Mu Bai smiled a little embarrassedly, "To be honest, this subordinate came to His Highness today to ask for something."

Song Qinghuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What's the matter?"

Mu Bai pursed his lips, seemed to think for a moment, Fang Qiqi Ai Ai said, "Subordinate... this subordinate would like to ask Mr. Ji for help, but after all, Mr. Ji is a guest, so it is not good for this subordinate to rush to him, so... ...So I wonder if Young Madam can help my subordinates and talk to Young Master Ji."

Song Qinghuan's eyes sparkled slightly, he looked at Mu Bai's face for a moment, and vaguely guessed something in his heart.

She looked away, pretending not to know, "Oh? What do you want Zishu to do for you?"

But Mu Bai suddenly straightened his body and backed away, and bowed respectfully to Song Qinghuan, "I want to ask Mr. Ji to take Miss Rong's pulse."

Rao had already guessed in his heart, Song Qinghuan couldn't help but be surprised when Mu Bai said it clearly.

Mu Bai is... no longer hiding his feelings?And...how did he know Rongzheng's physical condition?Could it be that the two...?
I couldn't help but muttered in my heart, looked at Mu Bai with bright eyes, and asked knowingly, "What's wrong with Ah Zheng?"

Mu Bai was slightly surprised, looking at Song Qinghuan's expression, he didn't know if she really didn't know or if she didn't know, but since Song Qinghuan asked, she still replied in a straightforward manner, "Ms. The insufficiency is the root cause of the disease brought from the mother's womb. No matter how many medicines I have been taking, it has not cured. The subordinates think that Mr. Ji is excellent in medicine. If he can diagnose Miss Rong's pulse, maybe Rong's illness can still be cured. "

Ever since he confessed his love to Rong Zheng that day, he has been thinking about her illness.It's just that there are a lot of things going on recently, and Ji Liuyun is too busy to develop poison, so he suppresses it for the time being.As soon as I got free today, I came here immediately.

Song Qinghuan was really surprised.

She didn't expect that Rong Zheng would tell Mu Bai about this.If the two were just in an ordinary relationship, how could Rongzheng tell him such a private matter?
Slightly squinting her eyes, she looked at Mu Bai meaningfully, and said in a drawn out tone, "Mu Bai, how do you know this?"

Hearing her tone, Mu Bai knew that he couldn't hide the matter between himself and Rong Zheng.Of course, he didn't intend to hide from Song Qinghuan, he cleared his throat, a cloud appeared on his face, after a while, Ai Qiqi said, "Young...Young Madam...my subordinate...my subordinate likes Miss Rong."
