Guide To Save The Yandere Villains Chapter 259: The eldest princess is a high-risk occupation (17)
But after Concubine Xian left, a figure slowly appeared in the corner of the East Hall.
This person is Chunhe who came to deliver cakes to Si Tu.
She didn't eavesdrop on purpose, and she knew the pros and cons of it, so naturally she didn't dare to talk nonsense.
I have no choice but to rot in my stomach the secret I heard.
The end of the new year is approaching, and the entire capital is bustling with activity, except for the An Le Hall.
Since the death of the first emperor, Concubine Xian has been lingering on the sick bed, but she has lost weight like this after not seeing her for a few days.
The imperial doctors were helpless, they could only use ginseng tablets and tonics, etc., but they were of no help.
Three days later, Concubine Xian died of illness, and the funeral was grand.
Si Tu knelt in front of the mourning hall, pretending to shed a few tears, and the concubines behind him cried together.
Actually speaking, Concubine Xian did not get on good terms with them.
It's just because of His Majesty's face that he came here to express his condolences.
So, Si Tu also noticed the warmth and warmth of these people in the palace.
Perhaps, leaving the palace is indeed a good choice for her.
"Mother and concubine will be buried tomorrow, sister go to rest first, I will come to watch the wake tonight."
Warmness fell on his shoulders, and a familiar but slightly tired voice came from his ears.
Si Quan wrapped her cool body with a cloak, and his tall figure tightly enveloped her within his protection range.
"I'm fine, His Majesty will be dealing with state affairs tomorrow, so let me keep the vigil."
Si Tu tightened the cloak on his shoulders, looking at the person in front of him with bloodshot eyes, feeling a little distressed.
Although Concubine Xian is not his biological mother, Si Quan has regarded her as a relative all these years.
As for Concubine Xian's fake death, there was nothing she could do to tell him.
So Si Tu chose to keep his mouth shut, and will inform her in a letter after she leaves in the future.
Si Quan sighed, and gently straightened her loose hair,
"Since I became the throne, my sister seems to be a lot stranger to me."
The title Your Majesty should not have come out of her mouth.
He still prefers to be replaced by her as 'Xiao Liu'.
Listen kindly.
"Your Majesty is a king, and I am a minister, so I should abide by the law."
Speaking, Si Tu bowed his hands to Si Quan to salute, and then took a small step back.
Being an emperor always likes to be respected by others, and Si Tu reckons that Si Quan also has this mentality.
So of course we have to keep a good distance.
The soft hair in her hand fell into the air with her movements, and Si Quan looked at his empty palm in front of him.
For the first time, it seems that being an emperor is not a good thing.
"I am my sister's closest person in this world, so I don't need to observe any etiquette, just go as usual."
Si Quan's Adam's apple rolled, and his sword eyebrows frowned involuntarily.
He can't see his sister being strange to him, this is more uncomfortable than killing him.
Si Quan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Si Tu,
"It's getting late, Your Majesty should go back to rest early, presumably mother and concubine don't want to see you so tired."
Look at how caring she is as a sister, for fear that he will be tired, she hastened to remind him to rest early.
But Si Quan doesn't think so.
He just thought it was his elder sister who wanted to drive him away by using the excuse of his mother and concubine to not want to see him.
Suddenly he felt wronged, but he couldn't help it.
"I see, sister also rest early."
Si Quan's voice was deep, and his downcast eyes made it hard to see clearly.
But Si Tu vaguely felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and she couldn't tell what was wrong.
After all these people left, Si Tu also stood up in a hurry.
The inside and outside of this coffin is not a virtuous concubine at all, the real virtuous concubine is probably outside the capital.
It's really hard for her to act for such a long time.
Stretched, Si Tu walked back from the path, lay on the bed and fell asleep.
Si Quan, who had returned to Tai Chi Hall, thought that Si Tu would be hungry in the middle of the night, so he asked Weinian to bring her some pastries.
Unexpectedly, Wei Nianti slipped a food box and it was empty. The whole mourning hall was gloomy, but there was no living person.
"You mean, sister is not in the mourning hall?"
Weinian spread his arms, nodded again and again,
"Yeah, even the white wax was taken away, and it was empty inside, except for a coffin."
It was dark in the middle of the night, and a gust of draft blew by, almost sending him away.
Si Quan looked at the untouched food box, frowned and fell into deep thought.
Leaving on the night of the wake, this is not something my sister can do.
Unless there is something tricky in it that he doesn't know about!
Si Quan recruited the imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital to treat the concubine Xian, and every detail was not missed.
"The concubine's illness is really strange. This veteran has practiced medicine for decades, and this is indeed the first time I have encountered such a pulse."
"Yeah, even with the best ginseng hanging, it doesn't get any better."
It stands to reason that this high-quality tonic can just make up for the deficiency in the concubine's body.
But the pulse condition didn't get any better, and it even got worse.
The imperial physicians informed Si Quan of the concubine's condition, waiting for the final trial one by one.
It has long been heard that His Majesty and the Concubine Empress have a deep love for mother and child, and this time they are invited here in the middle of the night, is it to settle accounts with the Empress Dowager?
"I see, you go down."
With a big wave of Si Quan's hand, the cold sweat on the foreheads of the imperial doctors stopped.
Tonight is really thrilling.
The court sentenced Zhang Xiaogang to leave with his colleagues, but was called back by Si Quan.
The entire Tai Chi Hall was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard, and Zhang Xiao's heart was beating even more.
Don't look at Si Quan's young age, but in front of him, Zhang Xiao has no intention of being disrespectful at all.
Perhaps, this is the legendary air of the emperor?
"Zhang Yuanzhi knows that there is a medicine that can keep people in a state of suspended animation, and then return to normal after three days."
He had only seen this kind of medicine in books before, as for whether it was available in this world, he really didn't know.
"Your Majesty said that it is a fake death medicine, but this kind of medicine is only spread in the rivers and lakes, and the old minister is not clear about it."
How could their orthodox Chinese medicine understand such crooked medicine.
"That is to say, even you can't deny the existence of this medicine?"
Unclear does not mean non-existent.
The world is so big, is there anything new?
Zhang Xiao nodded, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Shaodi's gourd.
But he really couldn't deny the existence of the fake death drug.
I heard that the concubine De, who was brought back from Yongzhou by the first emperor, was a teacher of Yao Wanggu, and there was vague news of fake death medicine.
As for the truth or falsehood, Zhang Xiao didn't dare to say for sure, and naturally he didn't dare to tell His Majesty about it.
On the way to be sent back by Si Quan, Zhang Xiaochang heaved a sigh of relief.
The moment he nodded his head just now, Shaodi's face darkened, he thought he was going to be killed.
It was simply a false alarm.
Three days later, Concubine Xian was buried in the Emperor's Mausoleum, and was buried beside the late Emperor.
And in the night, a figure quickly passed through the emperor's mausoleum and arrived at the coffin of Concubine Xian.
After careful confirmation, the dark guard quickly left and returned to the Tai Chi Hall, and reported the situation in the coffin to Si Quan.
