Six years later, the princess came back with three cubs

Chapter 104 The Death of Chunlan
Through the stethoscope, Mu Ning could clearly hear two different heartbeats in Jun Moyan's body.

A strong and even rhythm, this is Jun Moyan's own heartbeat.

But the other one was extremely weak, with a long interval, completely covered by Jun Moyan's heartbeat, and couldn't be distinguished without a stethoscope.

If her prediction is correct, it should be the cup worm, and it is very likely to be the heart-eating Gu that has become so popular in the world.

Heart-eating Gu, as the name suggests, feeds on the human heart.

The heart of the person who has been hit by this cup will be slowly eaten away by the cup worm, and he will die in pain day after day.

One cup of this poison, if any kind falls on ordinary people, it will definitely end in death.

But after Jun Moyan was poured into the cup, he was poisoned again. The toxin suppressed the activity of the cup worm, making the cup worm weak and fell into a coma.

In other words, the poison and cup in Jun Moyan's body have formed a check and balance.

Once the balance is broken, Jun Moyan will surely die.

The only way is to draw the cup worm out of the body while detoxifying.

It is easy to say, but difficult to do, because once the cup worm is awakened, if it cannot be drawn out of the body in time, it will be a disaster for Jun Moyan.

"Mother, why haven't you woke up yet? Could it be that you are tired?"

It was Xu time, the sky was already dark, and the three children had already returned to the palace, and they were whispering in front of her room door.

"I'm awake, come in."

Mu Ning yelled out the door, then lifted the gauze curtain, picked up the outer shirt and put it on his body.

Before the belt was fastened, the lights in the room were turned on one by one, and the three children surrounded her with concern.

"Mother, why did you sleep for so long?"

"Are you sick?"

Mu Ning rubbed the children's faces, "It's okay, I didn't sleep well last night, I was a little tired when I came back, so I slept for a while, have you had dinner yet?"

"Not yet. We've been waiting for you. If you don't wake up, we'll come in and call you."

"Come on, let's go to dinner."

When it came to eating, Mu Yanxi was very happy, "Yeah, mother, there is eight-treasure duck for dinner today."

Mu Yanxi rolled his eyes, "Are you a pig? You just know how to eat. Eating half a roast chicken in Shuiyuntian is not enough!"

Facing Mu Ning's half-smile look, Mu Yanxi hastily retorted guiltily, "There's not even half of it, it's just a chicken leg and a chicken wing."

"You also ate the chicken neck."

"Then you also ate a chicken leg."

Listening to the bickering between the siblings, Mu Ning couldn't help but take a closer look at the second child, and suddenly found that the second child's face was much rounder than a month ago, and the flesh on both sides of his cheeks was bulging.

I think the recent food is too good.

If I continue to eat like this, I'm afraid I will grow into a fat pig in two months.

But children, chubby in vain are also quite cute.

After dinner, Mu Ning took the three children to the Imperial Garden, ready to take a walk to digest food.

Not long after leaving the house, before arriving at the Imperial Garden, I saw a few palace servants running towards this side in a panic, all of them paled, as if they had seen something terrible.

Mu Ning protected the three children behind him, and reached out to grab one of the maids, "What happened?"

The palace maid replied with a pale face: "There are dead people over there in the flower room!"

After speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

In the inner garden of the deep palace, it is not uncommon for a person to die. Mu Ning didn't take it to heart, but in order not to cause trouble, she resolutely took the three children back home.

Back at Shanglin Garden, before he had time to take a sip of tea, the female officer in charge of Changchun Palace came.

"Miss Mu, the Empress invites you to go, I have something to ask."

Since entering the palace for so long, the queen has never summoned her at night. Combined with what she heard outside just now, Mu Ning suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

When they came to Changchun Palace, Concubine Zhao, Concubine Chen Xian and other important concubines in the harem were all here, all of them had indifferent faces, completely different from the usual chattering and laughing.

The atmosphere is a little serious.

Seeing her, the concubines had different expressions.

There is inquiry, there is indifference, and there is schadenfreude.

And the queen on the phoenix seat seemed to be upset about something, her brows were slightly frowned.

After she finished her salute, the queen did not wake her up as usual, but stared at her sharply.

"Mu Ning, Chunlan is a servant girl assigned by the queen mother to you, but a quarter of an hour ago, she was found drowned in a bucket of flower fertilizer. What's your explanation?"

Mu Ning was not too surprised to hear that the dead person was Chunlan.

Chunlan disappeared for several days without any reason, and it must have been an accident.

"Go back to Empress Empress, Chunlan disappeared three days ago, and Minnv reported back to the head nurse of Ningshou Palace that day. As for why Chunlan drowned in the flower fertilizer bucket, Minnv really doesn't know."

Concubine Zhao covered her mouth and laughed, "Although she was just a servant girl, she was someone close to the Empress Dowager. She drowned within a few days after arriving in Linyuan. I'm afraid it can't be revealed without knowing it."

Concubine Zhao is the biological mother of King Mo Yi of Qi.

Mu Ning is always against the Mu family, provokes the alliance between Jun Moyi and the Mu family, and gets closer to King Rui Moming, which is equivalent to a different person in the eyes of Concubine Zhao.

"Sister Guifei, you can't say that. Mu Ning is only temporarily living in the harem to treat the queen mother's headache. She is neither the lord of the first palace nor a female official in the harem. Not on her head?"

It was Concubine Chen Xian who spoke for Mu Ning.

Concubine Chen Xian is the biological mother of King Rui Moming.

Mu Ning got close to Jun Moming, so he was naturally in her camp. Seeing Concubine Zhao make things difficult, she had to speak up to defend her.

"Then according to my sister, who should be held accountable for this matter? It can't be the Queen Mother, right?"

Concubine Chen Xian flicked her sleeves, "I didn't say that, people in each palace have always been managed by each palace, Chunlan is from Ningshou Palace, and Shoushou Palace has nuns and female officials in charge, let them check first. It's so hot, maybe Chunlan accidentally got heatstroke, fainted in the compost bucket and drowned, I don't know."

Concubine Zhao smiled coldly, "Sister said it so lightly, the flower fertilizer bucket is five feet high, and it is difficult to climb in, even if Chunlan fainted, she wouldn't just fall into the bucket."

Concubine Chen Xian flicked her armor, pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "What's new? Last year, the little maid in your palace was praised by the emperor for her cleverness on the first day, but she was found thrown to death on the second day. It’s under the rockery. Hey, the rockery is only half the height of a person, right? It’s enough to fall to death, and it’s nothing unusual to drown in a flower pot.”

The amount of information in this statement is not insignificant.

In the harem, apart from the Empress Empress, Concubine Zhao Gui and Concubine Chen Xian had the highest status.

Seeing the two choke each other in public, the other concubines did not dare to breathe, for fear of getting burned.

In the end, the queen couldn't stand it anymore, and stopped it aloud.

"Okay, shut up, I came here to discuss Chunlan's drowning, why go so far!"
