Empress of Shengshi Doctor, Lengdi please take over

Chapter 157 Made the Empress Laugh
"Wanluo is my younger sister. I won't let her die unjustly, but I don't want to cause trouble to the diplomatic relations between the two countries." Sikong Yichen looked at Xiang Wan and said sincerely.

Xiang Wan paused for a moment, feeling a little guilty. When she came, she still felt that Sikong Yichen was unreasonable, but in fact he was not. He was thoughtful, the murderer had to be tracked down, and Li Guo's face had to be taken into account.

"What His Royal Highness Sikong said is true, can the scene be preserved intact?"

"Integrity, I knew that Young Master Xiang would come, so I didn't let anyone move me." Sikong Yichen said.

"Let's go over and have a look, do the autopsy first, and then track down the murderer," Xiang Wan said.

"Okay." Sikong Yichen responded, and the two went out together to go to Sikong Wanluo's yard.

After a few steps, Xiang Qing walked over slowly.

"After leaving, His Highness Sikong is polite."

"Prince Princess, you don't need to be too polite." Xiang Wan responded indifferently.

"Why are you dressed up like this?" Xiang Qing asked with a smile, her tone was friendly, and even her eyes were a little more doting.

The corners of Xiang Wan's lips raised slightly, "Come here to discuss something with His Highness Sikong, and I have to go out later, so it's easier to move."

"Oh, that's it. The empress is a bit more handsome than ordinary men in men's clothes." Xiang Qing said with a smile.

"The princess is overrated, but what's the matter?" Xiang Wan asked, she instinctively felt that Xiang Qing seemed to know something.

"It's nothing, Princess Sikong's imperial physician cured my concubine's illness, so I'm here to thank you." Xiang Qing said.

"The crown princess's thanks, I will convey on my behalf. Last night, Wanluo felt the wind and cold occasionally. The crown princess is just recovering from a serious illness, so don't go in, so as not to be infected with illness." Sikong Yichen said.

"Princess Sikong is ill, and this concubine should go to visit her." Xiang Qing said with sincerity on her face.

Xiang Wan smiled, "If the Crown Princess is interested, we will go to visit the sick together."

There was no abnormality on Sikong Yichen's face, "Thank you, Crown Princess."

Xiang Qing smiled and nodded, her eyebrows frowned almost invisible. She heard that something seemed to have happened in Sikong Wanluo's yard early in the morning, and she also heard that Xiang Wan came here in men's clothing, so she instinctively told Xiang Qing that Sikong Wanluo must be What happened, Sikong Yichen suppressed it for the sake of the relationship between the two countries, so she wanted to go in to find out, but the two of them looked the same, could it be that they just had a cold?
Xiang Wan and Sikong Yichen walked in front.

Xiang Qing was half a step behind.

The three of them went to Sikong Wanluo's yard together.

"My servant pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." Cai'er bowed and saluted, her palms covered with sweat, her complexion as usual. If she can do well this time, she can become the Prince's man...

"Where's the princess?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the princess has been tossing all night and just fell asleep." Cai'er said.

"Go and report to the princess, Li Hou and Princess Dugu came to visit." Sikong Yichen said with a calm expression.

"This, Your Highness the Crown Prince... the princess just fell asleep due to the unbearable illness, and now..." Cai'er looked embarrassed.

Sikong Yichen frowned, and was about to speak.

"Why don't we just wait here, and when the princess wakes up, I can help diagnose the pulse," Xiang Wan said.

Looking at the reaction of the two, Xiang Qing pursed her lips lightly, thinking about their intentions.

Just as Xiang Qing was about to respond, the guard stepped forward quickly, "This subordinate has met His Highness Sikong, the Crown Princess."

The guards didn't know Xiang Wan who was wearing men's clothes.

"What's the matter?" Xiang Qing asked.

"Reporting to the Crown Princess, His Royal Highness, please go back and discuss something." The guard said respectfully.

Xiang Qing paused, what was Dugu Chuyi looking for at this moment?
"His Highness Dugu and the Crown Princess are really affectionate, and after only a while, His Highness is in a hurry to find someone." Xiang Wan said jokingly.

Although Xiang Wan said it with a smile, Xiang Qing could still see the faint sourness on her face. No matter why Dugu Chuyi called herself, as long as Xiang Wan was not feeling well, she would be happy.

"I made the empress laugh. The relationship between my concubine and His Highness the crown prince has always been very good. This concubine will take my leave first." Xiang Qing said with a smile, turned and left gracefully.

The corner of Xiang Wan's lips curled up in a sneering arc, he was really deceiving himself to a certain extent.

Xiang Qing walked away, and Xiang Wan and Sikong Yichen entered the yard together.

There was still a faint smell of blood in the air.

"Lianya stands guard at the door. If the Crown Princess comes again, tell her that Her Royal Highness may have smallpox," Xiang Wan ordered.

"Yes." Lianya replied.

Xiang Wan and Dugu Chuyi entered.

Sikong Wanluo lay on the bed with a peaceful expression, as if she hadn't experienced any pain.

Xiang Wanqian said, "Princess Wanluo, I have offended you."

Sikong Yichen followed, seeing Xiangwan undoing Sikong Wanluo's clothes, he hurriedly turned and backed away.

Xiang Wan's neat autopsy.

Half an hour later, Xiang Wan got up and looked around.

"His Royal Highness."

"Please tell the son."

"Princess Wanluo was killed in her sleep, she was killed with a single sword, and she didn't struggle at all," Xiang Wan said.

"Who would treat Wan Luo so cruelly?" Sikong Yichen frowned, no matter how troubled Sikong Wanluo was, no matter how annoying he was, she was also his sister, how could he let her die!

"It's not yet known, if he can enter the post house at night and enter the princess' room under heavy guards, this person must have excellent martial arts, or he must be someone from the courtyard." Xiang Wan said with a frown.

"I'll have someone check to see if there was any change during the vigil last night," Xiang Wan continued.

"I'll let people check it too." Sikong Yichen responded.

"Xiang Qing must have picked up some rumors when she came here. She will definitely come to visit again. It's definitely not okay to keep blocking her." Xiang Wan said with a frown.

"Yes, Xiang Qing made it clear that she came here to test things out." Sikong Yichen continued, "I think, why not let Wanluo go back to Jingguo first."

"The princess is still ill, so what is the reason to go back so that no one will be suspicious?" Xiang Wan frowned and looked at Sikong Yichen.

"Say, father is weak and dreamed of Wanluo, and ordered someone to call Wanluo back to court." Sikong Yichen thought for a while and said.

"That's good, at least there's nothing to say on the surface." Xiang Wan nodded, "Princess Wanluo's body needs to be placed first..."

Sikong Yichen frowned, his heart ached. He took a living princess out and died in less than half, so he couldn't take it back in a fair and honest manner.

"His Royal Highness Sikong, Xiangwan will find a suitable place in the city, and then use medicine to ensure that the body does not rot. Before the end of the Four Congresses, the murderer must be caught and avenged Princess Wanluo." Xiang Wan said seriously.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang." Sikong Yichen said.

"Your Highness, Princess Wanluo ordered Xiaoying to be thrown into the back mountain last night, after which she was rescued by another group," Xiang Wan said.

"What's wrong with Xiaoying?" Sikong Yichen asked after a pause.

Xiang Wan explained Sikong Wanluo's calculations to him. Sikong Wanluo not only wanted to wrong Lianya for stealing things, but also poisoned the items. Lianya was Xiang Wan's personal maid. , Every step is a killer.

Sikong Yichen's expression became colder the more he heard it, "I'm sorry..."

"My lord knows that His Highness doesn't know about this matter at all, just like His Highness would not implicate Xiang Wan in Princess Wanluo's death, Xiang Wan also believes His Highness." Xiang Wan said seriously.

Sikong Yichen felt warm in his heart, and Xiang Wan's open-mindedness made many men feel ashamed.

After the two discussed it properly, Xiang Wan arranged for someone to transport Sikong Wanluo's body out quietly.

Sikong Yichen asked the female secret guard to lie on the bed dressed as Sikong Wanluo.

The two of them guessed right, and at noon, Xiang Qing came to visit again.

Sikong Yichen was always there, Xiang Qing only said a few words to Sikong Wanluo and left.

Is Sikong Wanluo really just sick?Xiang Qing was still muttering in her heart, but that was all that was on the surface, if she was too aggressive and offended Sikong Yichen, she would not be able to bear it and walk around.

Xiang Qing would not ask for trouble, so she had to be noticed.

……

Ten miles away from the capital.

Ran Chongba stood in the pavilion with a sad face, "Aren't you there yet? How did you make it on the way? You said you'll be there in time, but it's already past noon, why haven't you seen anyone yet?"

"Qi report to Prince Ran, this subordinate has sent people to go forward for ten miles, and the report said that Her Royal Highness was tired and asked everyone to rest for a while before starting. This meeting should be coming soon." The guard said hastily.

Ran Zhongba fanned his fan, maybe it was because of something, I heard that this Gusu Lingchu always brought male pets with him when he went out.

Ran Chongba shuddered in disgust.

"Qi report to Prince Ran, the carriage of His Highness the Crown Princess of Xiangyao Kingdom has arrived." The guard ran over to report.

Ran Chongba stretched his waist, turned around to sweep away the unhappiness just now, and put on a kind smile, "Welcome."

"Yes."

Everyone responded and stood in two rows in unison.

Ran Zhong stepped forward in eight strides.

Gusu Lingchu's carriage had just stopped.

"Minister, Ran Zhongba of Jing Guo welcomes Her Royal Highness, the Crown Lady of Xiangyao Kingdom, and Your Excellency the Prime Minister." Ran Chongba said with dignity.

"Hard work, Prince Ran." A delicate female voice sounded, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a bare hand.

Ran Chongba raised his eyes, and a woman wearing an exquisite multicolored gauze skirt slowly stepped out of the carriage. The woman's face was as white as jade, her facial features were delicate, and her pair of agile eyes blinked like an elf who had fallen into the mortal world.

For no reason, Ran Chongba's heart beat twice faster.

"His Royal Highness..."

The woman laughed, "This princess is not the elder sister of the princess, this princess is the little princess of Xiangyao Kingdom, Gusu Lingxi."

"Prince Ran has worked hard." Another woman came down from the carriage. The woman was proudly dressed in a red palace attire, her eyes were sharp, "My younger sister is playful, so it's better not to offend Prince Ran."

"His Royal Highness is polite, the little princess is playful and cute, Chongba is not unhappy." Ran Chongba said hastily.

"So good."

"Yan Muxue of Xiangyao Kingdom, I have met Prince Ran." A woman came from behind the carriage. She was wearing a plain long gown and was very simply dressed. This woman was the prime minister of Xiangyao Kingdom. She has served as prime minister for two years. She looks weak and delicate, but in fact she is murderous with fierce methods.

"Prime Minister Yan is polite." Ran Zhong returned the courtesy eight times.

After exchanging greetings for a while, everyone got into their carriages and horses, and rushed all the way to the posthouse.

The carriage didn't go far and stopped.

Ran Zhongba drove back and asked, "Your Highness, is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's because the princess finds riding in a carriage boring and wants to ride a horse like Prince Ran." Gusu Lingxi poked her head out and smiled mischievously.
