This queen is not too curly

Chapter 69
The dim light shone on Chen Ling's face.

His understated voice was mixed in the evening wind, and when it passed Yan Yuan's ear, it was like thunder.

Yan Yuan's body stiffened in the bath, her breathing stopped, the sound of wind and water disappeared, her heart seemed to die together at this moment.

"You..." Yan Yuan opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

Chen Ling waited patiently, admiring her shocked expression, with a malicious smile in her eyes.

There was a stalemate like this for a long time.

Chen Lingchen curled the corners of his lips: "Come here."

He just looked down at Yan Yuan like this, as if he was greeting a kitten or puppy, but his words were full of indisputable low and calm.

Yan Yuan blinked, her heart beating again.

In fact, she couldn't hear Ling Chen's voice clearly, her mind was filled with countless ways to die, and finally her rationality broke through the chaos, she quietly clenched her fists, forcing herself to calm down.

Don't panic, don't panic.

Yan Yuan softly comforted her soul.

After the panic passed, the body began to calm down and the mind was functioning normally.

She had never exposed her scars in front of Chen Lingchen. He broke through it now, nine out of ten... It should be that the two volumes of medicine were not hidden properly and were seen through.

But being hurt doesn't mean anything.

What's more, most of the wounds on her body were caused by picking snow lotus before falling off the cliff. Except for the arrow wound on her shoulder, the rest can be barely explained...

Chen Lingshen was still on the shore, looking at Yan Yuan quietly.

Yan Yuan looked at him for a while, then lowered her head and bent over, and moved back to the side of the bathtub little by little.

She soaked her whole body in the bathtub, only her head was exposed, and she looked up at Chen Lingchen.

Chen Ling knelt down in front of her: "You have two choices, tell Gu Yuan yourself."

He looked at the mushroom in front of him, and said calmly: "Or find someone to investigate alone, and deal with whatever is found."

Yan Yuan: "..."

With her toes, she could think of what Chen Ling's words meant.

The Taifu who made him displeased had his hands cut off and hanged himself that night. It is not known whether he really committed suicide or he just pushed the boat along with the current.

If the wounds on her body really need to be investigated...

This dog emperor might as well commit suicide.

Of course, I can only think about these words in my heart, Yan Yuan blinked, the water droplets on her eyelashes slipped, she sniffed her nose with the momentum, and said softly: "I accidentally fell off the cliff, I fell."

Chen Lingshen: "... Cliff?"

Yan Yuan took a breath, and the circles of her eyes turned red: "When I was young, my father took in a concubine, and that concubine didn't like me, so he tricked me into going up the mountain while my father was going up to suppress the bandits... ..."

She had said this to Luo Ziqiu before, and presumably the Emperor Dog knew about it, but now she mentioned it again, and she added more embellishments.

Sure enough, there was no surprise on Chen Lingchen's face, but he just looked at her with a half-smile and said, "But I heard that Yan Hou and his wife are deeply in love."

Yan Yuan's eyes were red: "Family ugliness is not enough for outsiders."

Chen Ling said calmly: "Isn't this the source of your cold illness?"

Sure enough, he knew.

Yan Yuan shrank her head, raised her head and took a peek at Chen Lingchen, and continued to edit without changing her expression:

"The concubine left me on the mountain. I met a dog on the way down the mountain."

"That dog was teetering on the edge of the cliff, it was very pitiful, so I helped it..."

"Accidentally rolled down the cliff together."

In the bathtub, Yan Yuan's eye circles were red, pure and moist.

Chen Ling was silent for a moment and said, "Where's the dog?"

Yan Yuan sighed: "It's just an unfamiliar thing. After going down the mountain, it went its separate ways. It must have gone home already."

Chen Lingshen: "..."

Chen Ling looked at Yan Yuan coldly.

In just a blink of an eye, the panic just now disappeared, and she has returned to her former appearance.

Nasty mushrooms.

Oily loach.

It's obviously an absurd reason, but the logic is complete and the story is reasonable.

She seems to be such a person, always with a sincere face, every word is soft and soft, with a... deceitful accent.

This tone of voice, with an indescribably familiar dislike, always makes him feel unspeakably depressed and irritable, and his mood is difficult to calm down.

Then the flame of resentment in his chest inadvertently ignited again.

Chen Ling's face darkened.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Yuan: "It's getting late, isn't the queen planning to come up?"

Yan Yuan smiled dryly: "The water in this bath is warm, and my concubine wants to soak for a while, Your Majesty, please help yourself."

She shrank back as she spoke, her face full of defense.

The anger in Chen Ling's heart dissipated little by little, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "Isn't the empress afraid of being influenced by 'Yuexia' alone?"

Yan Yuan: "..."

Yan Yuan kept silent, moving along the wall of the bathtub.

Slowly move away from Chen Lingchen.

There is still a faint fragrance of flowers floating in the melting garden, mixed with that charming smell.

Although the smell is almost inaudible, it is still there.Like a ray of spring breeze and a section of willows, it plucks the heartstrings from time to time.

Yan Yuan can guarantee that her consciousness is clear, but who knows the willpower of the dog emperor?

He hugged a beauty like Song Wan'er every day, and she was a person who indulged in sensuality. Unless she was stupid, she would not ask for trouble.

What's more, she was really dizzy.

But Chen Lingchen still didn't leave.

He even found a step on the bank and sat down.

The two stalemate.

"..."

"..."

Time passed for a long time, and there was no smell of moonlight in Rongyuan.

But Yan Yuan's dizziness didn't improve, she felt more and more dizzy, and the dog emperor in front of her eyes also became blurred.It should not be the influence of the moon, but soaking in the pool for too long.

A burst of dizziness struck, and Yan Yuan grabbed the wall of the bath just in time to barely stop her body from falling.

No, if this goes on...

Yan Yuan leaned against the side of the bath panting, her consciousness becoming more and more blurred.

Chen Ling looked at her about to faint, and finally said, "Come up, the moon will not have any influence on Gu."

He hadn't slept peacefully for many years, and he was used to smelling tranquilizing incense every day, and he was already used to the drowsy aroma of medicines.

Merely under the moon, it is actually useless to him.

It's a pity that his mother and concubine didn't know this.

Her game of chess is doomed to fail.

A sharp light flashed in Chen Ling's deep eyes. He stood by the bath and waited for a while, only to find that the mushroom didn't move.

"Yan Yuan."

His patience ran out and he frowned.

Yan Yuan remained motionless, her thin body lying on the shore, water dripping from her hair.

Chen Ling moved in front of her, but she still didn't move, so he bent down and grabbed her wrist. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Yan Yuan's body softly paddled into the pool, and her whole body sank.

Chen Lingshen: "..."

The palace lanterns are flickering, and the breeze is blowing slowly.

The girl's body sank to the bottom of the pool.

Chen Ling stood on the bank and watched her hair fall loose.

After waiting like this for a while, he finally lowered his eyelashes and stepped into the bathtub.

……

In Wangshu Palace, everyone has looked through their eyes.

As early as half an hour ago, there was news that the queen mother had invited the emperor to a family dinner.I heard that the Empress Dowager broke up with the Emperor at the family banquet, and then the Empress Dowager suffered from a heartache. Right now, Imperial Physician Mu has rushed to Rencide Palace...

What about their mother-in-law?
Everyone was worried, and they kept turning around and waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

Ruan Zhu walked around the yard anxiously.

The giving of the bath in Rongyuan is just a formality. Even if you enjoy the whole set of services, it should be over... Could it be that the empress is involved in the dispute between the empress dowager and the emperor?

Shouldn't she be angered?
The empress dowager and the emperor have always been at odds. Her mother is pure, kind and pitiful. If they really bumped into their mother and son and broke up, the mother will suffer a lot!

Ruan Zhu was very anxious.

While circling around, she asked Chen Niang: "Did Niang Niang leave any message before going out?"

Chen Niang hesitated: "...No."

She stood stiffly in place, the fear in her heart was far deeper than others.

Only she knows Yan Yuan's real dilemma: time has passed for a long time, the effect of the medicine has passed, and the scars on her body should have completely recovered by now...

Could it have been discovered?

This thought flashed across her chest, sweat broke out on her back, and her face turned pale.

If found...

That is the crime of bullying the king.

Ruan Zhu had run out of patience, so he raised his arms and said, "Otherwise, let's go directly to pick it up!"

The others nodded in unison.Just as everyone was about to leave, the guard at the gate suddenly shouted ecstatically: "Palantern! A sedan chair is coming! The empress is back!"

Under the night, a sedan chair came slowly from a distance, and slowly stopped at the gate of Wangshu Palace.

Everyone came forward: "Your Majesty!"

The car curtain was lifted, but the person sitting inside was obviously not Yan Yuan.

It was the figure of a man.

The man bent down expressionlessly, slowly walked out of the sedan chair with the person in his arms, and walked to the courtyard gate of Wangshu Palace.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the lights are dim.

The clothes on the man's body were obviously already more than half wet, and it was obvious that he was holding a woman in his arms.

The woman was wrapped in a large fur coat, and one arm fell limply beside the man, and water was still dripping from her fingertips.

At the gate of Wangshu Palace, everyone swallowed unconsciously.

This fur coat belongs to their mother.

So this man is...

After all, Ruan Zhu was well-informed, and hurriedly knelt down: "My lord, my servant welcomes your majesty!"

"Greetings to Your Majesty, servants welcome Your Majesty!"

"Greetings to Your Majesty, servants welcome Your Majesty!"

"Greetings to Your Majesty, servants welcome Your Majesty!"

The others finally came to their senses and knelt down on the ground in panic. For a moment, the sound of saluting at the gate of Wangshu Palace came one after another, trembling and spreading in the wind.

Chen Ling's eyelashes drooped, and he didn't stop at the door. Instead, he bypassed the figures of the palace people and walked straight into the courtyard gate of Wangshu Palace.

Water droplets splashed on dry ground.

Flowers all the way.

At the gate of Wangshu Palace, the palace people were as quiet as cicadas.

No one had the guts to speak out, so they kept the same kneeling posture for a long time before everyone realized that they didn't need to kneel like this, that person had already walked away.

In the silence, the youngest maid asked softly, "Sister Ruan Zhu, shall we go in and serve?"

Ruan Zhu looked down at the water drops all the way, and said in a low voice, "Fool, what are you doing in here?"

The little palace maid hesitated: "But the empress..."

She obviously didn't come back from the bath after finishing it properly.

She is penetrated all over.

And it seems unconscious...

"Listen to me, you don't need to go in." Ruan Zhu raised the corners of his lips, "Go back to your room and get a good night's sleep tonight."

Ruan Zhu raised her head, the palace lantern was projected in her eyes, reflecting the scorching gaze.

She lowered her voice and said slowly: "From tomorrow on, there will be no comfortable days to live."

……

At that time, Chen Lingchen had already walked to the queen's bedroom.

Yan Yuan was lighter than he had imagined, her thin body slumped softly in his arms, she was quieter than ever.

If she was awake, she would definitely not be willing to return to the palace in this form. After all, she is as slippery as a loach, and she knows how to be a transparent person in the palace, and spend the least amount of effort to get the most benefit.

She wanted to watch the fire from the other side.

Unfortunately, it's a done deal.

Chen Ling put her on the bed gently.

Yan Yuan on the bed was still unconscious and didn't know her situation at all. She closed her eyes, and the fur coat on her body opened a little following Chen Lingchen's movements, revealing the thin bathrobe underneath.

The bathrobe was already as thin as a cicada's wing, but now it was soaked and stuck to her body, showing faint traces of blue and purple on her body.

Are these the wounds that she tried so hard to cover up?
Chen Ling's eyes darkened slightly.

The slender fingertips landed on her skirt, and the warm touch spread across the fingertips.

Only an inch away, you can see the wound on her neckline.

Suddenly there was a strange sound in the room, Chen Lingshen stopped his movements, and turned his head vigilantly: "Who's outside!"

Under the candlelight, there was a figure kneeling behind the bead curtain in the bedroom.

The man stood up tremblingly, as if he mustered up his courage, he slowly approached the bed, and then kowtowed heavily to Chen Ling: "The slave girl, Chen Niang, is the dowry medical girl of the empress, and she is here to plead guilty to the Holy Majesty! "

Dust lady?

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, and vaguely remembered that there was indeed a medical girl in Yan Yuan's dowry list, presumably this person in front of her helped Yan Yuan from the side to cover her wounds.

He raised his eyes and said indifferently, "What's the crime?"

Chen Niang took a deep breath, her eyes flicked over Yan Yuan.

Seeing that Yan Yuan's clothes were still untucked, Chen Niang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but her brows still couldn't be relaxed - the clothes of Niang Niang are really too thin, and the scars on her body may be difficult to cover up.

Right now, all she can do is to cover up the arrow wound as much as possible.

Chen Niang turned her heart to one side, and kowtowed heavily: "Your maidservant, this servant girl covered up your blemishes on behalf of your mother, and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, please be punished by the Holy One!"

Chen Ling's eyes were calm.

He seemed to ask casually: "What blemish is it covering up?"

Chen Niang thought for a while and said, "Trauma."

Chen Ling said seriously, "What trauma?"

Chen Niang said: "I don't know, but it looks... like gravel and branches were scratched, presumably it was caused by an accidental fall."

What she said was specious, but it was also very close to what Yan Yuan said.

Was it really hurt by falling off a cliff?

Chen Ling lowered his head and pondered, his eyes fell on Yan Yuan's neckline, and his fingertips wanted to move forward again.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Niang's voice panicked, "Please Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Chen Ling raised his head, his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

Chen Niang spoke with difficulty:
"Your Majesty, your majesty, your majesty, do so many things because you don't want your majesty to see your scars."

"Your Majesty will be honest with Your Majesty sooner or later, I implore Your Majesty not to..."

"...so cruel to the empress."

Chen Niang bowed her head deeply in front of the bed, her hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.

Just as Chen Ling's fingertips touched the bathrobe, his eyes dropped, and his voice was soft: "She doesn't want Gu to see?"

"Yes, after all, your majesty treats His Majesty..."

Chen Niang bite the bullet and said:
"...The love is deeply rooted, and I can't extricate myself."
