"What?"!"Chu Lin hand that was reading the memorials Wei Wei paused and heard a report from outside. Jiang Rou asked for an audience,he frowned," Let her in."
Chu Lin saw Jiang Rou wearing luxurious clothes and wearing delicate makeup,and then thought that Xu Qingyan Qingyan's whereabouts,she became impatient." What are you doing here?"
Jiang Rou face was soft and his eyes were filled with concern:" This minister's concubine heard that the emperor has came to have nothing to think about,and she gradually became haggard.His heart was very worried,is the emperor missing big sister?"
Chu Lin didn't know her purpose and remained silent.However,his tightly furrowed brows had already given Jiang Rou answer. Jiang Rou felt a deep hatred in his heart,but his face was filled with sorrow:" In fact,this minister's concubine like this. Ever since elder sister passed away,this minister's concubine's heart seems to be empty. I think the emperor is also like this."
As she spoke,she seemed to have inadvertently mentioned that she had sent someone to look for Xu Qingyan. She said in a low voice and sorrow," This minister's concubine thinks that elder sister has fallen off the cliff without a corpse,so she feels extremely uncomfortable in her heart. Thinking that it's good to set up a grave for her,what does the emperor think?"
Chu Lin Chu Lin heard this,he raised his head and said with a deep gaze," You
However,in his heart,he was thinking that Jiang Rou couldn't wait to explain when the guard had just reported. Could it be that he had Jiang Rou eyes?
###Chapter13,Heartwashed by lard
Chu Lin Wei Wei narrowed his eyes as he wondered if Xu Qingyan's disappearance had anything to do with Jiang Rou?Why did she mention the matter of setting up a grave?And the blood test,was it true or false?
Jiang Rou didn' t know Chu Lin plan at all. Seeing that his expression was relaxed,he thought that he had guessed his thoughts. He immediately continued," Your Majesty,it's late at night. Rest early."If elder sister is in heaven,she will definitely not be willing to see the emperor continue to waste her body."
Looking at Jiang Rou extremely gentle expression,Chu Lin actually felt that it was so terrifying.Wei Wei nodded and dismissed her.
The seed of suspicion sprouted in Chu Lin's heart. He did n' t even want to wait for an incense stick's worth of time. He immediately ordered his heart to investigate the people around him. He did n' t expect that Jiang Rou's eyes would n' t be able to find out,but he would find out some doubts about the blood test.
The servant who was kneeling on the ground was Xiao Qing,who had been accompanying Xu Qingyan all this time. She tell him everything she knew.
Chu Lin eyes grew sharper." Are you telling the truth?"
These days,Little Qing pretended to be a fool and stayed Fang Dian Jiao. She hoped that one day,she would be able to help Xu Qingyan recover. Now that she finally had a chance,how could she let it go?
She firmly said:" This servant is willing to use her life to swear that everything she said is true. Please make the decision for the Empress!"
Chu Lin frowned." Someone,call Jiang Rou over."
Jiang Rou didn't expect the emperor to summon me so quickly. He thought that the words just now made Chu Lin feel pity for him again. He ordered someone to draw a makeup that I could still see. He wanted to make a better impression on Chu Lin.However,when he saw the person kneeling in the pepper Fang Dian,he was instantly stunned and stiffly bowed——Why is this girl still alive?!
Chu Lin had suspected her to begin with. When she saw her current state,she almost believed that what happened back then was Jiang Rou framing Xu Qingyan." What else do you have to say?"
Jiang Rou instantly calmed down and asked with an embarrassed smile," This...The emperor had just called this concubine over and had not asked anything. What did he want this concubine to say?"Why can't I understand?"
Chu Lin smiled as she looked at her performance and ordered someone to bring up another maidservant. That maidservant was the one who changed the water on the day of the blood test. The maidservant had long been scared to the point of cold sweat. Ever since she entered the palace,she had been watching Jiang Rou and did not know what to do.
She confessed to what she had done,but when Chu Lin asked who had ordered her,she saw Jiang Rou murderous look in her eyes. When she thought of her parents and younger brothers and sisters,she knelt on the ground and said," If you return to the Emperor,this servant will be in a daze and do something so outrageous. No one has ordered you to punish him!"
Xiao Qing watched Jiang Rou every move in her eyes. When she discovered that the maidservant had actually killed herself after saying that,she suddenly pounced on Jiang Rou and shouted," You cheap woman,it's you,it's you!"If it weren't for the fact that you had someone change the blood test water,how could my Empress possibly...In vain,the Empress usually treated you like her own sister,but you,you actually ……"
Seeing this,Chu Lin already had an answer in his heart. However,without evidence,he could not convict Jiang Rou. He could only instruct the guard," Send Imperial Concubine Rou back."
Everyone in the Pepper Fang Dian left,Chu Lin stood alone in the empty hall for a long time.
The setting sun was setting in the west. The towering palace was already holding lamps. Hundreds of red candles illuminated the entire palace,and Xu Qingyan knelt in front of him and asked him to test the scene.
If he ordered someone to prepare another bowl of water,wouldn't there be such an ending today?
Then,he rushed Zhang the hospital in a panic and looked at the scarred Xu Jia lying on the bed. He wanted to put a few knives on his body.
Chu Lin carefully touched Xu Jia hand. Seeing Xu Jia frown in pain,he immediately retracted his hand in fear. His tone was as gentle as cotton," Jia Er,Father is here. Open your eyes and look at Father."
Xu Jia opened his eyes weakly and looked Chu Lin in the eye. An unfamiliar emotion once again pierced Chu Lin heart.
All of this was thanks to him. If it wasn't for him,Jia Er would n' t have been stupid. If it wasn't for him,Jia Er would still be able to stand in front of him and sweetly call him Imperial Father.
The inner servant knelt on the ground:" Reporting to Your Majesty,the Lou Divine Doctor who has treated the Empress Dowager has already entered the palace."
###Chapter14,Too bad
The inner attendant led the two to the empress dowager's bedchamber. Xu Qingyan followed behind Lou Yue,looking at the familiar things in front of her,suddenly feeling a little funny.Back then,she had tried so hard to leave this place with Jia Er,but she hadn't expected that after just a few months,she would take the initiative to set foot on this land.
She changed her appearance and voice and pretended to be Lou Yue's disciple. She did n' t know what kind of bloody situation it would be when her old friends met.
Jiang Rou,Chu Lin,are you all ready?
Lou Yue noticed the change in her feelings and held her hand to calm her emotions." I have everything."
It was said that the Empress Dowager was already critically ill and the imperial physicians in the palace were helpless. Otherwise,they wouldn' t have taken the risk to invite a Jianghu doctor to come. As long as they controlled the Empress Dowager's life,it would be much easier for them to walk in the palace.
At this moment,the Empress Dowager had already been tortured to the point that she was no longer a human. The imperial physician was helpless and Chu Lin placed his last hope on Lou Yue,the Jianghu doctor.He stood outside the Empress Dowager's bedroom and saw two figures in the distance walking towards him. The manservant at the back looked exactly like Xu Qingyan.
Chu Lin immediately forgot to breathe. Xu Qingyan followed behind Lou Yue,but as if she didn't notice his loss of composure,she calmly bowed and said," Long live my Emperor ——"
Without waiting for Chu Lin to speak,the inner servant in the empress dowager's bedchamber ran out in fear." Plop!" He knelt on the ground," Your Majesty,the empress dowager's illness has suddenly worsened. This servant is afraid,please hurry and see the doctor ……"
What?
Chu Lin and Xu Qingyan were stunned.
Chu Lin didn't care about anything else and turned around to flip his robe." Divine Doctor Lou,please ——"
Xu Qingyan was about to follow Lou Yue into the bedroom when Chu Lin suddenly blocked her path. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through her. Xu Qingyan raised her head and looked at him fearlessly. Before she could say anything,she heard Lou Yue's voice say," What are you staring at? Why do n' t you bring me my medicine box?"
Xu Qingyan picked up the medicine box and nodded at Chu Lin. With a Nan Ren voice,she said," This is it."
After he finished speaking,the light in Chu Lin eyes instantly dissipated,like a tender leaf that had suddenly lost its vitality. It drifted away in the wind,followed by a self-deprecating smile. He was truly possessed. Qing Yan hated him to the bone,so how could she take the initiative to return to the palace?
Xu Qingyan looked at all the changes in Chu Lin. Her lips curled into an unknown smile as she quickly walked towards Lou Yue!
Before the medicine box could be put down,a eunuch's sharp and sorrowful voice could be heard from inside:" The Empress Dowager has fallen ——"
The Jiang Rou who rushed over immediately became a bit flustered. Her mother's power in the court was weak and she could do whatever she wanted in the harem until now. Apart from having Chu Lin love,most of it was because of the Empress Dowager's protection. At this time,the Empress Dowager must be fine!
Just as she stepped into the bedchamber,what she saw was a familiar figure. Her heart immediately panicked. When she saw the person's appearance clearly,she calmed down: Xu Qingyan jumped off the cliff without a corpse. She could not live.
Xu Qingyan went to kneel in front of Chu Lin and said:" If the emperor trusts his master,he can ask his master to go and apply needles. The Empress Dowager may still have a chance."
Although the empress dowager's body had always been bad,there had never been a life-threatening event. How could it be so coincidental today that the two of them had just entered the palace and were already in trouble?
Jiang Rou looked at the two of them with disdain. They looked like they were in poor condition.She stood by Chu Lin side and sneered,making things difficult for the two of them:" Divine Doctor Lou is so confident that he will return to life. It is truly admirable. However,the Empress Dowager's body is honorable,so how could she be casually tainted?""Why don' t you make a military order? If something unexpected happens,the emperor will know about the Empress Dowager and have an explanation."
Chu Lin knelt in front of the Empress Dowager. When he heard the voice,his originally sorrowful face was instantly replaced by rage. He suddenly turned around and shouted," What did you say?!"
###Chapter15,The commoner will definitely go all out to protect the dragon
Lou Yue's reputation in the Jianghu was incomparable. Chu Lin spent a lot of effort to invite him into the palace. Now,whether or not the Empress Dowager could survive could only depend on him.Jiang Rou actually dared to boast so shamelessly that Lou Yue would issue a military warrant. He immediately angered Chu Lin.
As for Lou Yue,who had already taken out the silver needles and was about to try,her face turned gloomy when she heard her words.She received the needle and prepared to leave:" This lowly one knows that his medical skills are limited. Since Imperial Concubine Rou doesn' t trust this lowly one,then this lowly one has no need to save him. Please,Your Majesty,take a moment to mourn and prepare for the future."
