Second-hand wife: Wang Ye's cute pet

Chapter 82 The Poisoned Prince

An Liuyan stood outside the hall and twisted the silk scarf in her hand vigorously. It was freezing cold, but the silk scarf in her hand was already drenched with sweat.

The maidservants who came and went poured out large basins of blood, and An Liuyan was shocked to see, but she didn't know what she could do, so she could only stand blankly outside the hall, like a sculpture.

I don't know how long it took, a little eunuch came to deliver the message.

"I want to report to your empress, the imperial doctor said that the prince's injury is no longer serious. The emperor knew that the empress was waiting outside the palace, so he specially asked the servant to only inform the empress."

"Yeah." An Liuyan hummed softly, she had forgotten how long she had been standing outside, and now she just felt cold all over her body.

She wanted to lift her legs to take a step forward, but her legs were as heavy as lead.She opened her mouth to call Xueyao, but her eyes suddenly went blank, and she felt her body fall backwards, Liu Xueyao's exclamation seemed to come through several layers of veil, but she lost consciousness in the next second .

When An Liuyan fell asleep, she didn't know how long she had slept.When she opened her eyes, it was already evening.

"Your Majesty, you're finally awake." Liu Xueyao asked while standing by the bed.

"How long have I been asleep?" An Liuyan asked hoarsely.

"It's been a whole day and night." Que'er's eyes were red, "The queen mother and all the empresses have come here twice. But the empress has not woken up."

"Why are you still tired after sleeping for so long?" Her eyelids began to become heavy again.

"Your Majesty, if you are tired, you can take a rest." Liu Xueyao tucked the quilt for An Liuyan.

"How is your lord doing now?" Before falling asleep again, An Liuyan suddenly recalled her original purpose. As for Liu Xueyao's answer, she fell into a deep sleep before she had time to listen.

When she woke up again, she saw the empress dowager's kind face as soon as she opened her eyes.

"Finally woke up." The queen mother seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief. She grinned at An Liuyan, turned her head and told the maid who was waiting by the side, "Speak to the imperial dining room and let the imperial dining room cook a bowl of porridge Come."

Seeing the queen mother, An Liuyan panicked and wanted to get up to salute, but because of the cool breeze blowing for too long, her high fever did not heal.The body is still a little limp.

"Don't move." The queen mother hurriedly stretched out her hand to press An Liuyan's body, "The imperial doctor said that your body is still recovering, so you should lie down. You are really stupid, you want to know how the prince is doing, so wait in the hall." Come on, why are you waiting outside?"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your concern." An Liuyan's voice was hoarse due to the wind and cold.

"Liuyan." The queen mother suddenly opened her mouth and called An Liuyan's name affectionately. The queen mother stretched out her hand to hold An Liuyan's hot hand, and let out a long sigh, "The Ai family knows that you are wronged, but there are some things You should learn to let go. Can you fight against the emperor for the rest of your life? Try to let go of your figure to the emperor, and it will do you no harm."

"The Empress Dowager is right." An Liuyan's eyes were slightly red, and she looked a little reserved. "The concubine will think carefully about what she has done."

"It's good to understand." The Queen Mother's expression was a little dark, "Outsiders say that this palace is prosperous, but only those inside know that this palace is just a big birdcage, trapping the happiness of many women. Since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless. Remember, as a woman in the emperor's house, it is best not to watch or listen. If you follow the emperor, it will be much easier to survive in this big birdcage."

"The concubine understands." An Liuyan frowned slightly, the queen mother gave her an inexplicable sense of intimacy, and she, who was indulged for a while, suddenly laughed at herself.

The queen mother said meaningfully, "The most unpredictable thing since ancient times is the king's heart."

"Empress Dowager, the porridge is ready." A maid came in with a tray.

"Then hurry up and serve your empress to drink porridge." The empress ordered Liu Xueyao who was standing on the side, "The Ai family will go back first, you hot empresses have a good rest."

"Your Majesty, be more energetic after eating." Liu Xueyao helped Xiyan up from the bed, and An Liuyan slowly swallowed the delicate porridge.

An Liuyan smiled, with a bitter taste in his smile, "How is your lord?" After deliberating for a long time, she still spoke.

"My lord is fine."

"It's fine." Xi Yan pursed her lips.

When the Empress Dowager walked halfway, she suddenly turned her head and told the nanny behind her, "Go and bring Concubine Lan to Lanhe Hall for Ai's family."

"Yes, the slaves obey the order."

The Empress Dowager sat on the high platform, her pair of cold eyes sized Shen Xinlan's body up and down, her lips curled up slightly.

Shen Xinlan walked in slowly from the outside, and respectfully bowed to the queen mother: "The concubine sees the empress."

"Concubine Lan is here." The Empress Dowager stood up slowly, and walked slowly to Shen Xinlan's side: "The Ai family has heard some rumors and wants to verify with Concubine Lan."

"Please speak, Queen Mother." Shen Xinlan didn't even dare to breathe out, and held her breath.

"You let Concubine Ning stand outside alone?" The Queen Mother's voice rang in Shen Xinlan's ears coldly, Shen Xinlan's feet softened, and she knelt down at the Queen Mother's footsteps.

"The Empress Dowager." Shen Xinlan looked at the Empress Dowager's face with tears in her eyes, and she gently twitched her shoulders: "It's the servant girl who misunderstood the meaning of the concubine. The concubine wanted her to invite Concubine Ning in."

"Really?" The queen mother's lips curled up slightly, and she paced lightly beside Shen Xinlan: "You should be very clear about what you have done yourself. The Aijia didn't invite you here today because they wanted to Listening to your explanation, I just want to tell you that the Ai family has lived in this harem for many years, and the Ai family is very clear about what you have in your heart. Ai family advises you, don't provoke a lot of troubles Come on, otherwise the Ai family will be the first to spare you."

"Yes, the concubine understands."

The queen mother leaned on the chair, half-closed her eyes as if she was tired, and flicked her sleeves towards Shen Xinlan: "You step back first. Don't forget what the Ai family told you."

Located on a small wooden house on the top of the mountain, the imperial concubine stood with her hands behind her back, exuding a strong hostility all over her body, and behind her was a man in black half kneeling on the ground.

"You have successfully approached the Second Prince?" The noble concubine's voice sounded coldly in the ears of the man in black.

"Yes, this subordinate has handed over the things to the second prince." The man in black replied blankly, "I don't know what the master plans to do next."

"Suspend all actions." The imperial concubine folded her hands on her chest: "Let's see what the second prince can do."

"Yes, that Xuan Muchen has been poisoned. His subordinates have already sent people to investigate. Although the poison on Xuan Muchen has been temporarily suppressed, if there is no antidote, it will kill him. Definitely can't keep it."

"Xuan Muchen?" The imperial concubine's lips lifted slightly, and a gleam of disdain appeared in her eyes: "You continue to send people to watch over Xuan Muchen. After all, Xuan Muchen is the leader of the Tianxia League, you must not You underestimated the ability of Tianxiameng."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

In the dead of night, An Liuyan was lying on his side on the couch, feeling as if his body was being pushed twice, and a woman's voice came from his ear.

An Liuyan slowly opened her eyes, she looked at the woman in front of her in surprise: "Sister Shen Wan? Why are you here?"

Shen Wan sighed faintly, looking at An Liuyan with a strong sadness in her eyes, she fell to her knees on the ground: "Mother, Shen Wan came here this time to ask for something."

"Sister, get up quickly." An Liuyan struggled to get up from the bed, looked at the tear-stained Shen Wan in front of her, and shook her head gently: "Sister, stop kneeling, get up quickly, if If there is anything that can help, I will definitely do my best to help."

"Shen Wan has been to the prince's mansion several times, but the people in the house said that the prince has not returned to the mansion for several days." Shen Wan paused, choked up and continued: "Shen Wan is really worried about the prince. That's why I broke into the palace at night."

"Break into the imperial palace at night." An Liuyan's brows were about to wrinkle together, she looked Shen Wan up and down with a puzzled look, and said tentatively: "If my guess is correct, My sister should be more than just someone from Zuixianglou."

"Your Majesty." Shen Wan grabbed An Liuyan's hand and said with tears in her eyes, "Shen Wan will definitely tell her everything in the future, but Shen Wan really can't say it now."

An Liuyan sighed faintly, her eyes swept across Shen Wan's body, and said slowly: "Actually, I don't know much about it, I just heard that the prince was poisoned, but so far I have heard that the prince has been poisoned. I haven't seen the prince's face yet."

At this moment, Shen Wan couldn't cry anymore, she looked at An Liuyan, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Then how is the prince now?"

"I heard that there is nothing serious about it for the time being." An Liuyan replied categorically, and she took Shen Wan's hand: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely find out for you."

"Thank you madam."

"Sister, go back first. As soon as there is news, this concubine will let Xueyao come forward to tell my sister." An Liuyan pulled Shen Wan's arm and said earnestly: "Sister, don't trespass in the palace again, in case you miss If you are captured, even Bengong might not be able to help my sister."

"Shen Wan understands." Shen Wan bowed to An Liuyan, "Shen Wan takes my leave first."

In the early morning of the next day, An Liuyan was sitting absent-mindedly in front of the window sill, fingering her hair lightly. Liu Xueyao pushed the door and walked in with a basin of water. After seeing the figure, she couldn't help frowning her eyebrows slightly: "Your Majesty."

"Well, Xueyao, you're here." An Liuyan agreed lightly, without even turning her head, her gaze stayed outside the window all the time, as if something outside the window attracted her full attention.

She stepped forward quickly to put down the water, picked up a cloak from the screen and put it on An Liuyan's shoulders, and said reproachfully, "Your Majesty is not afraid of catching cold as she sits here so early."

"Xueyao." An Liuyan took a deep breath, stretched out a cold hand to put on Liu Xueyao's shoulder, and said with a strong and inseparable sadness in his voice: "I have a Something needs your help."

Hearing what An Liuyan said, Liu Xueyao felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, a gleam of fear appeared in her eyes, and her hands scratched her head embarrassingly A few times: "Your Majesty is serious, I don't know if there is anything I can do to help your Majesty?"
