Chapter 31
Xiang Wan is used to getting up late, and Jun Moli has adapted to her living habits. After getting up early, Jun Moli goes straight to court.

Xiang Wan was sleeping soundly, when suddenly a furry thing rubbed against Xiang Wan's face.

"Your sister!" Xiang Wan unceremoniously slapped her across the face, forgiving someone from her dreams, an unforgivable crime.

"Ow!"

Xiang Wan frowned, opened his eyes, and saw Xiaobai, a little white tiger with a sad face.

"Oh, what, I forgot about you." Xiang Wan got up, and Haitang bravely stood at the door.

"Mother, empress, be careful..."

Xiang Wan jumped off the bed and bounced to Xiao Bai's side, "Sorry, I'm so angry..."

"Roar." Xiaobai raised his head arrogantly, which meant that he was also very angry.

Xiang Wan chuckled and rubbed Xiao Bai's head with his two little hands.

Haitang's heart was about to jump out, and she was ready to call the guards to rush in at any moment.

Xiao Bai yowled a few times, then obediently rubbed against Xiang Wan's hand, expressing his liking.

Xiang Wan got up with a smile, "I got up too, let's study what to eat?"

"Roar!" Xiaobai's eyes lit up when he heard eating.

Standing at the door, Haitang could see clearly, and blinked vigorously in shock.

It seems that the white tiger is very docile to the empress.

"How about roast chicken?" Xiang Wan asked after a little thought.

"Hey!" Xiaobai didn't know what roast chicken was, but he had eaten chicken and thought it was pretty good.

"Hai Tang, prepare breakfast, and two more roast chickens." Xiang Wan got up and ordered.

"Yes, this servant obeys the order." Haitang came back to her senses and left in response.

Xiang Wan waved to Xiaobai, and Xiaobai walked over with staggering steps.

"Where shall we go to play today?"

Xiang Wan blinked, and Xiao Bai also blinked. The interaction between one person and one tiger was quite loving.

It was the first time for Xiaobai to eat roast chicken, and it was delicious. After eating two, he was obviously not satisfied. Xiang Wan asked Haitang to prepare two more. Seeing the big eyes of the roast chicken, Xiaobai threw himself on Haitang's feet and bit them The chicken was so frightened that Haitang fell to the ground.

Xiang Wan laughed softly, "You should be more sympathetic."

"Hey." Xiaobai replied, what does that mean, no jade tastes as good as roast chicken...

Xiang Wan silently supported her forehead, then got up to help Haitang.

"Your Majesty, this servant can get up by himself." Where did Haitang dare to let Xiang Wan help her, the distinction between superiority and inferiority was already deeply ingrained in her heart.

"It's easy, you don't have to be so nervous." Xiang Wan pulled Haitang to stand up.

Haitang's body trembled slightly, and she hastily bowed to salute, "My servant thank you, Empress Dowager."

"It's okay." Xiang Wan waved her hand, she was full now, and sat on the chair waiting for Xiao Bai. The little guy pressed the roast chicken with one paw, and ate deliciously with his mouth open.

The corners of Xiang Wan's lips curled up. After all, the little guy who grew up beside his parents was cared for from birth, which is different.

Xiang Wan's eyebrows and eyes were curved, thinking of the days when he was a child, when he was never homeless, his eyes were slightly sore, and he let out a soft breath.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea." Hai Tang stepped forward to serve the tea.

Xiang Wan took a sip. There are indeed good things in the palace, but she doesn't like tea...

"Your Majesty!" Li Quan ran in from the outside in a panic.

Xiaobai, who was disturbed from eating, raised his head and let out a low growl. Li Quan was so frightened that he took two steps back, his legs softened and he fell to the ground.

"Xiaobai, don't scare anyone." Xiang Wan stopped her.

"Roar." Xiaobai whimpered depressingly, which meant that he provoked me first...

"Take your things and eat over there." Xiang Wanqian rubbed Xiaobai's head and said.

"Roar." Xiaobai picked up the roast chicken in response and turned around. Before leaving, he did not forget to show his teeth to Li Quan. The roast chicken in his mouth almost fell, and Xiaobai hurriedly stopped himself. tooth.

Xiang Wan chuckled amused by it.

Xiao Bai went to the corner sullenly.

Li Quan was covered in cold sweat. Unlike Xiang Wan, she didn't think it was fun. His biggest feeling was the coldness of his neck.

"Why is Li Quan panicking?" Xiang Wan asked with his eyes on Li's whole body.

"Return, answer your mother's words, Qu Ping is dead." Li Quan replied, calming down.

"Oh." Xiang Wan responded indifferently. It didn't matter to her whether Qu Ping was dead or alive. Even if someone wanted to pour dirty water on her, a court lady wasn't enough.

"Eunuch Li, you are also a court lady, so you deserve to make a fuss in front of your empress." Haitang looked at Li Quan.

"No, ma'am, if Qu Ping died in an ordinary way, I wouldn't dare to disturb my majesty, she, she is..."

"How did she die, tell me quickly." Haitang urged.

Xiang Wan leaned there, still looking lazy and indifferent.

"Mother, Qu Ping was found dead on his bed this morning. His whole body was festering like the plague..." Li Quan said tremblingly.

Xiang Wan turned his eyes, got up quickly, and walked out the door.

"Ma'am, who is this?" Li Quan and Haitang asked in unison.

"Huanyi Bureau." Xiang Wan replied indifferently, and he had already arrived at the door.

"Your Majesty, I can't go, if it's true..." Haitang came back to her senses and followed quickly.

"Don't think about it, it can't be true. Plague has an incubation period. This process is very long. Qu Ping was fine when he left us yesterday. He died suddenly this morning. It can only be that the death is similar to the plague. Absolutely not. Yes." Xiang Wan said slowly.

"Since it's not, there's no need for Niang Niang to go." Haitang said.

"That's right, ma'am, you'd better not go to that kind of place, Mrs. Xiao has personally brought her to work there." Li Quan said hastily, he didn't want to take risks with Xiang Wan, let alone whether Xiang Wan was favored or not, she was right He is generous and easy-going, which has convinced Li Quan sincerely, and he does not want to change masters.

"Anyway, I'm fine, go help Lord Xiao, and by the way..." Xiang Wan's lips slightly raised, looking for something to do to pass the boring time.

Of course, she couldn't say the second half of the sentence.

Mr. Xiao, Xiao Guanyu, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Mr. Guanyu.

"Your Majesty..." Hai Tang and Li Quan couldn't persuade them, so they had to follow them out of Fengqi Palace, and Tsing Yi also followed.

Huanyi Bureau.

Qu Ping's death was miserable, all the maids were frightened and panicked, they tried their best to hide away and whispered, everyone was afraid that it was the plague, it would be fatal...

The Huanyi Bureau has been completely sealed off, and the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau also arrived one after another. Everyone took some precautions and checked Qu Ping's body with Wu Zuo.

Everyone was about to make a move when they heard the eunuch outside shouting, "The empress is here."

Guanyu's eyes turned slightly, she turned around and went out to greet her, and the imperial physicians and Wu Zuo naturally followed.

"Xiao Guanyu, Minister of the Minister's Punishment Department, pay homage to the empress." Mr. Guanyu bowed and saluted, looking decent, as if they were meeting for the first time.

The imperial physician and others also saluted.

"Get up." Xiang Wan's eyes paused on Mr. Guanyu for a while, and then turned his eyes away, "I heard that there is a suspected plague, come and have a look."

"Your Majesty, the suspected plague is already very dangerous. You should stay in the palace to avoid falling ill." Guanyu said slowly, implying that you should not come.

Xiang Wan frowned, "I am the lord of the harem, all matters in the harem are my own business, not to mention that this maid was still in Fengqi Palace yesterday and died tragically today, I will always give her justice. "

Guanyu paused slightly, "Does the Empress want to handle this case herself?"

Xiang Wan met Guan Yu's gaze, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "No way?"

"If your empress thinks about it, then of course you can do it. I'm just worried about your empress's safety. After all, your empress is by the emperor's side all day long." Guanyu said slowly.

The imperial physician behind him was secretly sweating for Guanyu, who didn't know that the empress was in the limelight, and it was really okay for him to fight with the empress like this...

"I would also like to thank Master Xiao for your concern." Xiang Wan slowly opened his lips.

"It's my duty to care about the Holy Empress." Guan Yu continued, and this determination was very timely.

Xiang Wan smiled, "I know a little bit about medical skills, I also have a little research on poisonous diseases and plagues, and I'm a woman, so there's no need to avoid any taboos. I'll do the autopsy."

As soon as Xiang Wan exited, everyone, including Guan Yu, was taken aback.

Guanyu was the first to come back to her senses, "If the empress insists on doing this, I must obey the order."

Xiang Wan was indeed not an ordinary person. He was calm, composed, and fearless.

"Yeah." Xiang Wan gave a monosyllable lightly, with an expression very much like Jun Moli, aloof and unquestionable, "Haitang prepares the gloves."

"Your Majesty..." Haitang exhaled softly, looking sideways at Xiang Wan, and swallowed back the words behind Haitang abruptly, "Your maid obeys the order."

Haitang prepared gloves and a cloth to help Xiang Wan cover her mouth and nose.

"Need not."

"Your Majesty, you have to be more careful, what if something happens?" Haitang was about to cry.

Xiang Wan's eyes paused slightly on her face, Haitang's concern and anxiety at the moment were not adulterated, she really hoped that she was safe.

"It's okay, you can't judge toxicity by smell if you cover your mouth and nose," Xiang Wan explained.

Haitang was still worried, she moved her lips a few times to persuade her, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Xiang Wan had already walked to the corpse with Zuo Zuo.

Haitang grabbed Li Quan and said in a low voice, "Go and invite the emperor to come here, I'm afraid no one but the emperor will be able to stop the empress."

Li Quan paused, nodded, turned around and left the clothing bureau.

"Master Xiao took people to look at Qu Ping's residence to find evidence. The imperial physicians went to check the maid's health. Tsing Yi guarded the door. Until the cause of Qu Ping's death is determined, only entry is allowed here." Xiang Wan put on gloves. While commanding.

Calm, indifferent, well-regulated.

Xiao Guanyu's eyes slightly fluctuated when he looked at Xiang Wan.

"The minister obeys the order."

Everyone responded, each busy.

Xiang Wan and Wu Zuo stood in front of Qu Ping's body.

"Have you seen the plague back then?" Xiang Wan asked.

"Going back to my mother's words, when I was young in the humble position, fortunately no one in my family was infected. I just saw the infected patients from a distance through the window, and I didn't see them up close." Wu Zuo replied truthfully.

"Oh." Xiang Wan replied thoughtfully.

"Ma'am, shall we start now?" Wu Zuo asked tentatively.

"Call Master Xiao to Ben Gong, I have something to tell him," Xiang Wan said.

"Yes." Wu Zuo turned to call someone.

Soon, Mr. Guan Yu appeared in front of Xiang Wan, "What is your order?"
