Chapter 85
Ever since the empress fell ill, the palace has been clouded and cloudy. Now that the news that the empress is pregnant, the haze has finally been swept away and the clouds have finally cleared.

Of course, Jiang Nian did not forget Fu Liao who was seriously injured and unconscious. He said to Fu Yuan, "When His Majesty wakes up, I will go to Fu's residence to visit him alone."

Fu Yuan was a little absent-minded, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is worried, Your Majesty's body is important."

Jiang Nian knew what he was worrying about, and said, "Physician Fu, please go back to see Fu Liao first, as long as there are other imperial physicians guarding here."

Now that Fu Liao's life and death are uncertain, it would be too inhumane to force Fu Yuan to stay here.

Fu Yuan looked at him gratefully, "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness! Since Your Majesty's headache has not yet recovered, I'm afraid this pregnancy will be more difficult."

Jiang Nian waved his hand, "You go."

"Yes, I will leave!"

After Fu Yuan left, Jiang Nian sat down beside Ning Yuezhao's bed.

He gently took her hand and pressed it against his cheek,
Just now Jiang Nian was almost dizzy from the overwhelming joy, but now that he calmed down, he couldn't help worrying about Ning Yuezhao's Gu poison.

At this time, the hand that was gently touching his cheek moved, and the plain hand turned over, gently stroking his cheek.

"Azhao, are you awake?" Jiang Nian looked at her happily.

Ning Yuezhao opened her eyes, and smiled apologetically, "I'm sick again, and I'm worrying you."

Jiang Nian shook his head, thinking of the good news, he couldn't help showing joy on his face, and deliberately said: "You are wrong, you are not sick this time."

Ning Yuezhao looked at him puzzled, "Why?"

Jiang Nian led her hand to caress her abdomen, and said gently: "Fu Yuan just diagnosed the Xi pulse, but it's less than a month old, so the pulse is not too obvious, but I think it can't be wrong."

In the previous life, they also had one time, and she was pregnant.Although the number of times they had sex was limited, it was much more than in the previous life, so there should be no mistake. Fu Yuan probably said this for safety.

Hearing the words, Ning Yuezhao sat up from the bed, same as Jiang Nian's initial reaction, and asked in a daze, "Really?"

Jiang Nian gently pinched Ning Yuezhao's face, "Can you still trust Fu Yuan's medical skills?"

Ning Yuezhao was so surprised that she couldn't even speak, because when Fu Yuan felt her pulse, she said that her body would need to be recuperated for a year before she could get pregnant easily, but she didn't expect to be pregnant so soon.

How can it not make people ecstatic to have their long-cherished wish fulfilled!
Jiang Nian gently circled Ning Yuezhao from behind, gently stroked her still flat abdomen, and said excitedly: "Azhao, you are pregnant with my child, I am so happy."

Ning Yuezhao blushed slightly, and said angrily, "Look at what you said, I can still conceive someone else's child!"

Jiang Nian gently rubbed her face, "That's not what I meant!"

Ning Yuezhao leaned back, leaning on his chest, "Jiang Nian, if one day he is gone, the child will be handed over to you. With your guidance, he will definitely be a good emperor."

Jiang Nian's pupils shrank slightly, and he was a little annoyed, "What nonsense! You want to raise him with me!"

Ning Yuezhao left from his arms, faced him and said seriously: "You know my current body, you never know when I will go to see the empress, you must promise me!"

Jiang Nian closed his eyes in pain, "Okay, if there is such a day, I will definitely teach him to be a qualified emperor, and then I will see you."

Ning Yuezhao couldn't bear to see him show such a look, and reached out to caress his eyes, but Jiang Nian grabbed her hand, put it on his lips, kissed her lightly, and then hugged her.

Ah Zhao, for the sake of you and the child in your womb, I will definitely not let any accident happen to you!
Jiang Nian secretly promised in his heart!

The two hugged quietly for a while before Jiang Nian reluctantly let her go.

"I'm a little worried about Fu Liao and want to go out of the palace to have a look."

Ning Yuezhao also wanted to visit her, but she knew her physical condition, and Jiang Nian might be distracted from taking care of her when she went, so she said, "You should also visit with me."

Jiang Nian patted her on the shoulder lightly, comfortingly said: "It doesn't matter, I will bring your heart to you."

Although a little disappointed, Ning Yuezhao cheered up when thinking of the child in her womb.If she is also sluggish, it will only make the people around her feel sad too.

A navy blue carriage stopped in front of Fu's mansion,

Jing Ming raised the curtain of the car, "My lord, we're here."

Jiang Nian, who was wearing a cyan long gown with straight train, got off the carriage. He was leaving the palace in modest clothes this time, so he was naturally acting in a low-key manner.

When he slowly walked up the stone steps and stood in front of the gate of Fu Mansion, the concierge could hardly believe his eyes.

"You! You are!" Jiang Nian and Fu Liao have a very close friendship, and they used to come and go to Fu's residence frequently, so the concierge naturally recognized him.As if he did not expect to see Jiang Nian here this time, the concierge was too excited to speak.

Jiang Nian made a silent gesture, "Don't say anything, just go and inform your master."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The concierge hurriedly ran to communicate.

Soon, Fu Yuan personally went to the door to meet him.

Jiang Nian stopped him from saluting, "Go in if you have something to say, don't attract attention at the door."

It was not until entering the hall that Fu Yuan formally saluted Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian helped him up, "Don't be too polite, Gu is here to visit Fu Liao this time, and you know His Majesty's situation, Gu can't stay too long."

Fu Yuan nodded and led him to Fu Liao's bedroom.

In a simple and clean room, Fu Liao lay sideways on the bed with his eyes closed.He was not wearing any clothes on his upper body, and was wrapped with thick white gauze, which could be seen with a dark green ointment underneath. His head was wrapped with gauze at night, and the wound was on the back of his head, so he was now placed in a side-lying position.

"His injuries were mainly on the head, and the blood stagnated in his brain, which made him unconscious. Fortunately, the two stab wounds on the abdomen did not hurt internal organs, but only flesh wounds. Commander Zuo said that the gangsters may be eager to avoid the night patrol. The guards on guard only want to hit with one blow, so they left after a heavy hand, and they didn't care about waiting for the person to die."

Looking at his son who showed no sign of waking up, Fu Yuan's heart was extremely cold.

Although the empress issued a decree saying that all the imperial hospitals should do their best to treat Fu Liao, but the empress is also sick and pregnant, and the elites of the empress hospitals are all on standby in the palace. How could Fu Yuan dare to dispatch too many imperial doctors? Come here, I can only ask an imperial doctor who is proficient in acupuncture to give Fu Liao acupuncture once a day to evacuate the congestion in his brain.

While guarding his son, Fu Yuan himself began to study acupuncture and moxibustion, hoping to dispel the congestion in Fu Liao's brain as soon as possible.

After understanding the situation, Jiang Nian's mood became a little heavier.

He leaned down slightly, and said to the person on the bed: "Fu Liao, you must wake up quickly, Azhao and I both need your help."

Seeing him like this, Fu Yuan sighed softly.

After leaving Fu's residence, Jiang Nian was not in a hurry to return to the palace, but let the carriage wait in place, and he walked to the alley at the end of the street.

Fu Liao was killed here!

This alley is neither wide nor narrow, but it has some twists and turns. Standing at the entrance of the alley, you can't see the bottom at a glance, but it is a very suitable place to ambush.

Now the officials of Shuntian Mansion are guarding this alley, not allowing the common people to approach, so as to facilitate the investigation.

Seeing Jiang Nian lingering at the alley, the officials immediately showed a ruthless look: "What are you looking at? If you don't leave, you will be arrested!"

Jing Ming immediately went forward to argue with him, but was stopped by Jiang Nian, "Don't make trouble."

Across the aggrieved Jing Ming, Jiang Nian stepped forward and showed the token in his palm.

When these officials saw that it was a badge in the palace, they immediately became respectful, "My lord, please wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, one of the officials trotted into the alley.

Not long after, Zuo Ming and Tang Xuefeng walked towards the entrance of the alley together.

They thought it was Jiang Nian who sent someone to inquire about the situation, but they didn't expect him to come out of the palace in disguise.

Jiang Nian stopped them from bowing down, "Don't do these empty rituals outside, I just want to go in and have a look."

The two nodded and ordered the officer to move out of the way.

At most, two people can walk together in this alley, Jiang Nian walked in the front, Zuo Ming accompanied him at a later position, Tang Xuefeng followed carefully behind them.

"You searched here for half a day, did you get anything?" Jiang Nian asked Zuo Ming while observing the situation in the alley.

Zuo Mingdao: "As you can see now, this alley is not spacious, and the place where Doctor Fu was killed is at this turning point."

Jiang Nian stopped in his tracks. There were still Fu Liao's bloodstains on the bluestone floor and blue brick walls of the alley, especially the large dry bloodstains on the ground, which deeply hurt Jiang Nian's eyes.

"Fu Liao's injury was in the back of his head. The alley is so narrow that it was extremely difficult for two grown men to walk side by side. Besides, it was late at night. Even if the gangsters had ambushed in the alley, how could they attack Fu Liao from behind?" Jiang Nian tried his best to calm down. analyze the case.

"I just visited Fu's mansion just now. Doctor Fu's injuries were one on the back of the head and two on the abdomen. It was obvious that he was attacked from both front and back." Zuo Ming looked up at the narrow alley, pointing He pointed out, "The houses on both sides of this alley are one-story blue brick and tile houses. I suspect that the villain should be ambushing on the roof. When Doctor Fu came here, he would fall from the sky and attack him on the head from the rear first. Make him unconscious, then stab him twice and leave quickly."

At this time, two heads poked out from the roof above the alley, they were guards of the imperial army.

"Commander Qi, there are indeed large pieces of broken tiles on this roof, which are heading northwest. There are still some footprints on the tiles, which have been rubbed down."

Zuo Ming nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Jiang Nian, "Look..."

Jiang Nian also looked up, then glanced at Tang Xuefeng who was hanging his head behind him, and said to Zuo Ming, "You really did not live up to my expectations. If you investigate again, you must find the murderer as soon as possible!"

Since the murderer was afraid of Fu Liao discovering something in the Gu poison, then this person must have a great connection with the Gu poison. As long as the real murderer is found, he may be able to find a way to cure the Gu poison.

Jiang Nian can now be said to be on the verge of breaking the boat and fighting with his back.

This time, he can only win but not lose.

Zuo Ming cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, I have already sent people to search every house, and I believe there will be results soon."

Jiang Nian nodded, "I'll leave this to you, I have to go back to the palace sooner."

After speaking, Jiang Nian went back to the palace first.

Zuo Ming and Tang Xuefeng respectfully watched him leave.

Compared with Zuo Ming's confidence, Tang Xuefeng was a little discouraged.He didn't find out anything, that's not okay, he must do something.

Reminiscent of what Zuo Ming said in the early court, Tang Xuefeng suddenly got excited, and he said: "Commander Zuo, there are still some matters to be dealt with in Shuntian Mansion, and I want to leave first."

Zuo Ming thought that he was of no help here, so he nodded.

Tang Xuefeng took his Fu Cheng away in a hurry.

"My lord, why are you in such a hurry?" Fu Cheng asked puzzledly as he followed Tang Xuefeng.

Tang Xuefeng's expression was tense all the way, until he was slightly relieved at the gate of Shuntian Mansion.

"Go and call all the people who are in charge of patrolling at night to the lobby. I want to question you!"

"Yes." Although Fu Cheng didn't understand why Mr. Fu Yin did this, he still followed his instructions.

Tang Xuefeng stood in the lobby of Shuntian Mansion, looking at the picture of Haiyan Heqing in the middle, with a hint of complacency on his face.

Didn't Zuo Ming say that the murderer was familiar with the time intervals of night patrols by officials from Shuntian Prefecture?Then he will start from the source, don't believe he can't find anything!
