Second-hand wife: Wang Ye's cute pet

Chapter 70

"Hehe." Xuan Muchen laughed a few times without expressing any opinion.But there was a cold light in his eyes, he turned the teacup in his hand, and asked indifferently: "I don't know how the princess is doing now?"

"The imperial doctor is checking." Xuan Muqing's eyes gradually became darker, thinking of An Liuyan's reaction just now, her heart throbbed unconsciously, "She is pregnant now, I hope there is nothing wrong. "

"铛." A crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground rang in the ears of the two of them. Xuan Muchen looked at the porcelain cup that fell from his hands with some embarrassment. There was a surprised light in Xuan Muqing's eyes: "The princess is pregnant?"

Xuan Muqing nodded slightly, Xuan Muchen felt that his heart was about to sink to the bottom, a forced smile hung on his face, and he bowed to Xuan Muqing: "Congratulations, Your Royal Highness. He stopped, glanced at the sky outside, and said slowly: "It's getting late now, this king will take his leave first."

On the second floor of Zuixiang Building, Xuan Muchen sat alone on it, pouring wine into his mouth one mouthful at a time.Shen Wan walked in from the door slowly, and after seeing Xuan Muchen's appearance, she couldn't help shaking her head slightly.

"Is the lord planning to get drunk in this Zuixiang Tower?" Shen Wan's voice carried a hint of teasing, she raised her head and looked at Xuan Muchen with a very dissatisfied gaze.

"Hehe." Xuan Muchen smiled bitterly, poured a glass of wine into his mouth, and asked in a vague voice: "How is the investigation going?"

"The person who died was a bounty killer." Shen Wan looked at Xuan Muchen's word for word and said, "But the information of this organization is very confidential, and it is impossible to find out who the buyer is."

"Bounty organization?" Xuan Muchen narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous gleam in his eyes. , he seemed to want something, and slapped the table heavily: "Things seem to be getting more and more complicated."

"In this case, my lord, do you want to continue the investigation?" Shen Wan looked at Xuan Muchen who was already a little drunk and asked.

"Yeah." Xuan Muchen hummed in a low voice, and continued to think for himself. "Continue to investigate until we find out who is behind the scenes."

When Shen Wan walked to the door, Xuan Muchen suddenly said: "I think the Crown Princess will not be able to come to you for a long time?"

"Why?" Shen Wan tilted her head and looked at Xuan Muchen's eyes with a surprised light, she couldn't help but blurted out and asked.

"She's happy." Xuan Muchen raised the jug and poured the wine into his mouth, then sneered lightly, the smile was full of lingering bitterness.

Looking at Xuan Muchen's appearance, Shen Wan didn't say anything more, but quietly closed the door, and slowly left the room on the second floor.

In the dead of night, Xia Jingyan stood in the courtyard of the west wing, looked up at the starry sky, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Miss." Xiao Cui slowly walked in from the outside with a cup of tea. After seeing the smile on Xia Jingyan's lips, she couldn't help covering her lips and chuckling: "Miss seems to have encountered something happy."

Xia Jingyan turned her head and glanced at Xiao Cui, then stretched out her hand and stroked Xiao Cui's head as if to comfort her, her eyes flickered: "Xiao Cui, soon we will be able to stand out."

Xiaocui looked at Xia Jingyan and asked as if thinking of something: "Miss, does the side concubine agree to help Miss? But didn't today's assassination mission fail?"

Xia Jingyan pursed her lips and let out a chuckle, she raised her head to look at the night sky, and said word by word: "My real purpose was not to kill the prince, but I didn't expect the princess to appear suddenly, which helped me Concubine is doing me a big favor."

"Congratulations, Miss." A deep smile flashed in Xiao Cui's eyes.But then a worried light flashed in Xiao Cui's eyes, and she bit her lips tightly with her teeth, as if she was thinking about some important question: "It's just, Miss."

"What?" Xia Jingyan turned her head to look at Xiaocui, with smiles in her eyes.

"The prince has so many people under his command, are you afraid that the lady will be found out?"

Xia Jingyan patted Xiaocui's shoulders lightly a few times, showing a confident expression: "Don't worry, that killer is dead." She smiled sinisterly, and a flash of light flashed in her eyes A sinister light: "Now there is no proof of death, who will find out about me."

The next day, when the genius was dim, a cold touch woke Xia Jingyan out of her sleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw a hag standing beside the bed.

"You." Xia Jingyan just opened her mouth to say something, but was quickly interrupted by the poisonous woman.

"Master wants to see you." The poisonous woman's voice seemed to come from a distant ice cellar, without any warmth.

"Why." Just as Xia Jingyan opened her mouth, the poisonous woman stretched out her hand and stuffed a pill into her mouth. There was a look of fear in Xia Jingyan's eyes.

In the depths of the woods, the imperial concubine stood alone, with a sinister gleam on her beautiful face.

"Master, the person has already been brought here." The ghost woman led Xia Jingyan to the noble concubine's side slowly.

The imperial concubine turned her head and glanced at Xia Jingyan coldly, the coldness flashed in her eyes, Xia Jingyan couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

"Poison woman, go down first." The imperial concubine ordered coldly, and walked to Xia Jingyan's side, holding her chin with one hand, with a chill that could not be ignored in her eyes.

"Yes." The poisonous woman glanced coldly in Xia Jingyan's direction, then bowed and left.

"You sent someone to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince?" The noble concubine asked without a trace of emotion in her voice, her brows were slightly wrinkled, and her eyes were full of disapproval.

Xia Jingyan swallowed with difficulty, and was about to explain something, but was slapped severely by the noble concubine: "You bastard, do you know that you almost ruined this palace's important affairs."

"You." Xia Jingyan tremblingly stretched out a finger and pointed at the imperial concubine, just about to say something, but a cold dagger was quickly placed on her neck, and there was a gloomy light in the imperial concubine's eyes, She waved the dagger in her hand and gestured on Xia Jingyan's cheek, saying word by word: "You'd better not do anything behind my back, otherwise no one can save your life."

There was a fine layer of sweat on Xia Jingyan's forehead, she looked at the imperial concubine with a gleam of fear in her eyes, she pinched her throat with her hands as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.

"Ghost woman." The imperial concubine shouted coldly into the air, and the ghostly figure of the poisonous woman appeared behind Xia Jingyan. She looked at Xia Jingyan, then took out a pill from her bosom and stuffed it into Xia Jingyan's mouth.

"Cough cough." Xia Jingyan coughed twice, pressing her hand on her throat, and looked at the imperial concubine in front of her with terrified eyes.

The imperial concubine squatted beside Xia Jingyan, seeing her terrified expression, she couldn't help shaking her head: "Now you know how to be afraid? Don't worry, I will save your life for the time being."

"Who the hell are you?" Xia Jingyan squirmed back, trying to hide her body.

"You don't care about this." The noble concubine stood up and walked lightly beside Xia Jingyan for a few steps. She looked at Xia Jingyan's face and asked word by word: "You answer me honestly, assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince? Was the killer sent by you?"

"Yes? Yes." Xia Jingyan swallowed timidly.But before he finished speaking, Xia Jingyan's face was filled with burning pain.

The imperial concubine looked at Xia Jingyan whose face was already red and swollen, and said calmly: "Remember what I said, don't make up your own mind, otherwise your life may not be saved."

Before Xia Jingyan had time to say anything, the poisonous woman quickly stuffed something into Xia Jingyan's mouth, her lips pressed against Xia Jingyan's ear, and there was a lingering coolness in her voice: "This is poison. You did anything against the will of the master, hum? You should be very clear about what will happen in the end."

"Understood." Xia Jingyan raised her head to look at the imperial concubine, then quickly lowered her head, her gaze was full of intriguing meaning.

"It's good to understand. You have to know that the purpose of this palace is that you or one of Xinlan can stay by His Royal Highness's side to deliver news for this palace." The imperial concubine put one hand on her forehead, her eyes slightly He narrowed his eyes, then shook his hand at the hag and said, "Take her away."

"Yes." The hag lowered her head, agreed in a low voice, and then led Xia Jingyan out of the woods.

When Xiaocui walked in, Xia Jingyan sat by the bed with dull eyes, thinking about something.

"Miss." Xiao Cui shouted, when her eyes touched Xia Jingyan's swollen half of her face, she just wanted to exclaim, but Xia Jingyan covered her.

"Don't call." Xia Jingyan put her lips next to Xiaocui's ear and warned in a low voice.

"Miss." Xiao Cui turned her head, her eyebrows frowned slightly, her gaze was always on Xia Jingyan's swollen cheeks, and she asked worriedly, "What happened to Miss?"

"Don't worry about it." Xia Jingyan stretched out a hand to brush her cheek, a faint light flashed in her eyes, "Hiss." She took a breath, and then told Xiao Cui: "Go get some ice water."

"Yes." Xiao Cui just wanted to go out, but was stopped by Xia Jingyan.

"Xiao Cui." Xia Jingyan looked at Xiao Cui's back, and ordered word by word: "You remember, this matter must not be let anyone know."

"Yes." Xiaocui walked down with lowered eyebrows.

"Reporting to my concubine, Miss Jingyan is here." An'er walked in slowly with Xia Jingyan.

Shen Xinlan raised her head and looked at Xia Jingyan who seemed to be in a daze, she gave a low laugh, then pointed to the stool beside her and said, "Miss Jingyan, please sit down."

Xia Jingyan raised her head and took a look at Shen Xinlan, then leaned down respectfully, and asked in a very humble tone: "I don't know if there is something important about my side concubine summoning me here?"
