Luoyang Brocade Chapter 201: Murder (2)
Ling Jingshu repeated exactly what she had said to Wei Yan that day.
Her eyes were shining with tears, and her choked voice was full of anger, helplessness and panic. When she talked about discovering that she was suffering from a strange disease, her tears were even more pitiful.
Empress Xu listened casually at first, but later, she gradually sat upright and listened more and more intently.
"... Before coming to the capital, the daughter of the people had told her grandmother and father about this. I brought my brother to the capital, firstly to seek medical treatment for his eye disease, and secondly to avoid Two brothers from the Lu family. A common girl has this unspeakable strange disease and has already decided not to marry for the rest of her life, so as not to mislead others or herself."
Ling Jingshu wiped her tears with her sleeves and continued with red eyes: "His Royal Highness King Yan is a handsome young man like no other, and he has a great favor for the girls of the people. The girls of the people are not hard-hearted, how can they be helpless? I know. It’s just that women of the people are ashamed of themselves, and they never dare to have any thoughts, and they have absolutely no ambition to cling to them. Please also ask the Queen to learn from this."
Empress Xu stared at Ling Jingshu's face. The girl was beautiful and bright, and when she cried, she was like a begonia with dew, which was endearing.
Does such a beautiful girl really have that weird problem of not being able to touch men?
If this is really the case, then the thing she used to question Ling Jingshu before has become a joke... Also, does Wei Yan also know about this? Is there an affair between him and Ling Jingshu?
"Is everything you said true?" Queen Xu's eyes were as sharp as a sword, making people breathless: "You really can't get close to any man?"
"Yes!" Ling Jingshu said without any hesitation: "What the girl said just now will never be false. If the Queen doesn't believe it, you can try it on the spot."
Ling Jingshu knows what’s interesting.
Even if she didn't mention it, Queen Xu would not be able to believe her words easily. Isn't it the best way to test on the spot?
Empress Xu's eyes flashed, and she said with a half-smile: "It's a pity that there are only palace maids and chamberlains in this palace. Those chamberlains are all fake men and cannot be counted. Otherwise, I will ask Imperial Physician Wei to come over and let him try. How about giving it a try?"
After all, this is Queen Xu’s real purpose. Use these words to test the relationship between her and Wei Yan.
Ling Jingshu sneered in her heart, and the look on her face became more and more ashamed: "There is something that I haven't had time to report yet. Last time at Princess Changping's house, the daughter fell into the water and fell into a coma to save Princess Anya. Imperial Doctor Wei The girl took the pulse for diagnosis. The girl was not fully awake at the time, so she vomited it out on the bed. So, there is no need to ask Dr. Wei to test it."
Empress Xu’s eyes lit up and she said calmly: “So, you really can’t touch any man anymore?”
Ling Jingshu responded in a low voice: "That's true. Imperial Physician Wei noticed something was wrong with Min Nu, and Min Nu repeatedly begged him not to tell the story and make it public, and Imperial Physician Wei reluctantly agreed."
In this way, Wei Yan and Ling Jingshu should not have an affair.
Queen Xu's mood suddenly improved. Looking at Ling Jingshu who was kneeling on the ground, she was no longer so unpleasant: "Okay, stop kneeling. Get up and talk!"
...I finally got through this first hurdle!
Ling Jingshu felt relieved and stood up with tears of gratitude.
I had been kneeling for too long, and my legs were sore and numb. When I stood up, I staggered before I could barely stand still.
Empress Xu pretended to sigh: "I never expected that such a young and beautiful girl like you would have such a strange disease. It seems that I have wronged you for what happened before."
Ling Jingshu dared not say: "The Empress said so. It is really a shame for the women of the people. The women of the people are really unworthy of His Highness King Yan's favor and love. Please don't blame the Empress."
Queen Xu said calmly: "This matter is not what you want, so I can't blame you. As for King Yan, I will handle it properly in the future."
"Thank you, Queen." Ling Jingshu thanked her again with a moved face.
Empress Xu twitched her lips and suddenly changed the topic: "However, for such an important matter, I can't just listen to your words and trust you. Didn't you say that Dr. Wei had seen your strange behavior with his own eyes? Are you sick? I will ask Dr. Wei in front of you. If Dr. Wei is just like you, I will believe you for the time being."
"If Imperial Physician Wei is different from what you said, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After speaking, Empress Xu called the maid in with a loud voice and ordered: "Go and ask Imperial Physician Wei to come over."
The palace maid responded and quickly retreated.
……
The wait seemed extremely long.
Queen Xu casually asked the palace maid to arrange her makeup. The two maids immediately came to the bed. One combed Queen Xu's hair, and the other applied makeup and powder to her.
In just a few moments, Queen Xu looked refreshed and energetic.
After the palace maid stepped back, Empress Xu looked at Ling Jingshu who was standing aside: "Mr. Wei will be here soon. If there is anything you haven't said yet, it's still too late to tell me now."
This Empress Xu is indeed very suspicious.
"The daughter of the people already knows everything, and she has said everything. If the Queen doesn't believe it, she might as well ask Dr. Wei carefully." Ling Jingshu replied calmly.
Actually, her heart is not as calm as she looks.
Although Wei Yan knew about her illness, neither of them expected that Empress Xu would become suspicious of her so quickly, and they never discussed a unanimous statement to the outside world. If Wei Yan didn't have this tacit understanding with her and had good intentions to cover up for her, today would be a bad day...
Ling Jingshu's heart was ups and downs, but her expression didn't reveal anything.
Empress Xu smiled half-smilingly: "I hope what you are telling is the truth. You are such a young and energetic girl, and you still have a lot of youth. I don't want to be such a ruthless person."
There is a chill in the light words, which is frightening.
Ling Jingshu lowered her head slightly ~IndoMTL.com~ and avoided looking at Empress Xu: "What exactly happened, everything will become clear when Imperial Physician Wei comes."
Queen Xu twitched the corners of her lips and stopped talking.
The silence did not last long.
"To inform the Queen, Imperial Physician Wei has arrived and is waiting outside the palace." The palace maid came to reply.
Queen Xu's eyes flashed with strange light: "Let him come in!"
Soon, Wei Yan's figure appeared in the bedroom of Jiaofangdian.
Wei Yan glanced at Ling Jingshu's pretty face that looked calm but was actually a little tense, and he couldn't help but be startled.
Shouldn't she be at Wei Jieyu's place when she enters the palace today? Why are you in Queen Xu's Jiaofang Palace?
Ling Jingshu glanced at Wei Yan quickly, with complex eyes that seemed to hold a thousand words.
Wei Yan's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition. (To be continued.)
