After the fiancé was cut off by the county owner

Chapter 128
The winter night was dark and long, Qi Tanying woke up from the dream, turned over and couldn't fall asleep again.She turned her head to the side, and the person next to her pillow was sleeping soundly, and the sound of her gentle breathing was very clear in the darkness.

Since the baby in her stomach was a month old, she seldom slept soundly all night.Tonight is no exception, I always feel flustered and can't breathe.

She sat up with difficulty supporting her body, and the stuffy feeling in her heart suddenly improved a lot.

"What's the matter, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Yan Li's voice came from the darkness, with a hint of low and hoarse.

Qi Tanying smiled, "It's okay, I just couldn't fall asleep suddenly."

The people around him moved, got up and got out of bed, and after rubbing for a while, the candlestick in the room was lit.Qi Tanying looked towards the light, and a man in a middle coat came over with a teacup.

"Drink some water." He handed her the teacup.

Qi Tanying took a sip from the teacup, the water was still warm, and flowed into the belly along the throat, which relieved the dryness of the mouth and tongue, and made the whole person feel much more comfortable.

After Qi Tanying finished drinking the water, Yan Li looked at her, "I turned off the lights."

Qi Tanying nodded.

Then the room fell into darkness again, Yan Li groped to the bedside, lifted the quilt and got in.

He patted her on the back lightly, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

Qi Tanying hummed.

But she still didn't feel sleepy, and she was even more energetic than before.Couldn't help turning over again, with his back facing Yan Li.

"Still can't sleep?" Yan Li's voice sounded again, Qi Tanying asked without answering: "Are you still asleep?"

Yan Li sighed softly: "I can't sleep either."

Qi Tanying heard the words and said: "Since we can't sleep, let's talk."

"what you want to say?"

"Well, I would like to know, who owns the ecstasy incense you took from Doctor Ge earlier?" Ever since Yan Li took away the ecstasy incense, Qi Tanying has been trying to figure out this question.

But Yan Li told her that it was better for her not to know about it.

But she really wanted to know.

The man beside him was silent, and it took a while before he replied: "It went where it should go."

What kind of answer is this, Qi Tanying is not satisfied at all, where should I go?Just when she asked again, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

Someone came from the palace, saying that there was a bloody incident in the palace, and the sage ordered him to enter the palace immediately.

Yan Li got up immediately, and someone grabbed his wrist, he turned his head and patted her hand lightly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After he put on his official uniform, he walked to the bed and said softly, "Go to sleep, I will send you a message at dawn."

After finishing speaking, he pressed the corner of the quilt for her and left with the summoner.

After he left, Qi Tanying felt uneasy all the time, and waited with her eyes open until dawn.After dawn, Yan Li sent someone to send a message back, and she was slightly relieved.

But at this moment in the palace, the atmosphere was very heavy and solemn, because a bloody case happened in the palace—the pregnant Guimei died tragically in the bedroom, with one dead body and two lives. Yu.

When Yan Li arrived at the scene of the murder, Emperor Yuanhe, the Empress, Concubine Shu, Concubine Mei and other high-ranking concubines were all sitting in the side hall, and Jieyu and Qi Shisanniang were kneeling not far from the bed, their eyes glazed over, their hands , Who is full of blood.

Not a moment after Yan Li's arrival, Wu Han was also ordered to enter the palace.

Beauty Gui's body was placed in the bedroom of the main hall, and Emperor Yuanhe asked them to inspect the scene.After the two went in, they saw Mei Gui lying on the bed covered in blood, with a big gash in her abdomen, still bubbling blood.

Such a scene made the two men who were used to bloodshed couldn't help but frown.

The two of them first inspected Gui Meiren's body. There was a red and purple strangle mark on Gui Meiren's neck, and blood oozes from her mouth, nose and ears.The most frightening thing was the big gash in her abdomen, the skin and flesh turned out ferociously, the inside of the abdomen was empty, and the fetus that had already formed was nowhere to be seen.

In addition to the large gash in the abdomen, there was also a knife wound on the back, which was not deep.

I don't know who had such a big enmity with Miss Gui and killed her with such vicious and cruel means.

After inspecting the body, the two began to investigate the scene again.Except for Gui Meiren's bed, which was in a mess, the rest of the layout was left untouched.

Yan Li asked Qiaoyue, the palace maid who served Gui Meiren, but Qiaoyue was scared out of her wits, and kept saying that it was the evil spirits who wanted her life.

Yan Li frowned tightly, and scolded Qiao Yue: "If you want to survive, you must explain everything you know."

Qiaoyue nodded again and again.

"The beauty hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time since the fetus in her womb grew up. When she can't sleep at night, she always likes to go outside the palace for a while."

"Tonight is no exception. The beauty wandered outside the hall for a while, and when she was about to go back to rest, He Jieyu came. The beauty and He Jieyu seldom meet each other, but they still invited her into the inner hall."

"After entering the inner hall, He Jieyu asked us all to go out, but we were all serving the beauty, and no one dared to move without the beauty's order. Later, the beauty also asked us to go out, so we withdrew."

"The maidservant and Xi Hua have been guarding outside. During this period, Xi Hua went in once, saying that the beauty wants to stay here with Jieyu to rest, and ordered her to go to Wuji Palace to say something."

Hearing this, Wu Han suddenly interrupted Qiaoyue and asked her, "Where is Xihua?"

Qiaoyue shook her head again and again, "I don't know, since she went to Wuji Palace to interrogate her, the servants have never seen her again."

When Wu Han and Yan Li heard the words, they had a bad premonition in their hearts, that the attack on flowers might be more ominous than good.The two made a quick decision, Wu Han took people to search for Xihua, and Yan Li stayed here to continue interrogating Xihua.

"After Xihua left, only the maidservant was left guarding the outside, and she fell asleep for some reason. When the maidservant woke up, she smelled a very strong smell of blood. Worried about the comfort of the beauty, the maidservant hurried into the inner hall. After entering, I saw the beauty lying there covered in blood, standing in front of the bed with Jieyu, holding a dagger in his hand."

Speaking of this, Xi Hua's face revealed a look of fear, "This servant feels that He Jieyu must be possessed by an evil spirit."

Yan Li frowned, "The theory of ghosts and gods is unbelievable."

Xi Hua shook her head again and again, "My lord, this slave is really not lying."

Yan Li asked her to imitate Jieyu's tone and demeanor, and Xihua imitated it with fear.

After asking Xihua, I asked other palace people.Everyone said that the night was very quiet, and no unusual sounds were heard.

Yan Li went to the side hall, and with the consent of Emperor Yuanhe, began to interrogate Qi Shisanniang.

Qi Shisanniang said that she was obviously resting in the bedroom, but after waking up, she stood in front of Miss Gui's bed, holding a blood-stained dagger in her hand.Beauty Gui's death was so miserable that Qi Shisanniang only took one look at her and still hasn't recovered from it.
