Chapter 220

The little maid bowed her head and said, "I didn't disturb the sleeping of the Empress Dowager. The little prince and the little princess are very obedient. They are still sleeping in the room now."

The queen was relieved. Ever since she was ill, she had entrusted her two children to the care of the Empress Dowager. She was always afraid that her illness would affect her children. Hearing that the little prince and the little princess were very obedient, the queen slowly relaxed her heart. She got out of bed, changed her clothes and began to wash. The smell of milk in the room gradually faded, and finally some of them disappeared as usual.

After washing her face, the queen sniffed the smell around her. She frowned and said, "Anzi, what kind of fragrance do you order in the morning these days?"

An Zi Leng Leng, way: "will empress Niang, slave since empress Niang is pregnant, have never given Niang Niang point incense again, this is emperor order." Anzi raised her eyes and looked at her own queen with a puzzled face. She did not dare to talk more.

The queen nodded and said, "well, well, when you came here in the morning, did you smell Very fragrant, very fragrant taste? "

"Back to the empress, Anzi smelled it every morning. After a while, it disappeared again." Anzi hung his head to one side and said seriously.

The empress thought for a while, light way: "feel that taste is very sweet, really want a such sweet light." The empress giggled and sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked Anzi to comb her hair. Anzi gently combed her hair for the empress with a delicate wooden comb. A red agate Hosta was inserted in her bun, which was very beautiful. The queen looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She could not help but tut Tut and felt her face. What a rich state it used to look like. Now how can it become so thin and yellow in a month? The cheekbones are clearly visible.

"Queen! Queen! What about the queen? " All of a sudden, a eunuch came in shouting outside the door. His face was red and he was panting. At first sight, he was rolling in. It seemed that there was something important. The empress looked at him in a hurry, and she was worried. She frowned and said, "what are you doing in a hurry? Talk well!"

The little eunuch took a deep breath and tried to calm down his tired breath. After that, he said, "royal garden! The royal garden is dead, empress! "

On hearing this, the queen opened her eyes and said in surprise, "what?"

The little eunuch led the way, and several people hurried to the imperial garden. In the imperial garden, they stood and looked at the palace maids and eunuchs. They covered their mouths and noses with disgust, as if they saw something disgusting. The little eunuch who led the way saw that she couldn't squeeze in, so she quickly said in a high voice, "the queen has arrived!"

The palace maids, eunuchs and guards in the imperial garden knelt down and lowered their heads to the ground. The queen saw a wonderful thing on the grass at the other end of the crowd. It's a woman's body, and it's a shriveled woman's body. The queen went over and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. It seemed that the body was still fresh and odorless. It seems that the body has been drained of all the blood, and the body has become shriveled and wrinkled. It's like kneading a large piece of paper into a ball. After kneading many times, it's spread out on the ground. This female corpse is naked and naked.

Don't look around, Queen. Some of them are too cruel. If she hesitated a little more, she might have vomited. It's too miserable to see who did it. "Who was the first to find the body?" The queen asked in a high voice.

A chubby little maid stood up, submissive way: "back to the empress, is a slave." Then she knelt down again.

The queen looked at the fat little maid in waiting and asked, "when did you find out?"

"Back to the empress, the maidservant was sent later this morning. I'll go I went to the imperial dining room to cook. As a result, I met... " The maid in waiting knelt down, her shoulders twitching because of tension and fear. The queen thought for a while and said, "come on, the guards, take her back first, and then seal off the royal garden. No one is allowed to enter. The guards are watching."

"Yes The leader of the guard squad called earnestly.

The queen took a deep breath, did not dare to look back at the body, and quickly left the royal garden. She must go to Qianqing palace to find the emperor and tell him about it! This is the second woman the queen has seen with a withered body like this. During the war, the queen was chatting with many concubines in the imperial garden. Suddenly, she heard a woman's scream not far away. Several concubines and empress dowagers ran to see them. They ran to the pond at the west end of the imperial garden and found that they were lying on the edge of the pond A female corpse, as seen today, was completely naked, shriveled and yellow. It seemed that her blood had been taken away. The queen didn't have time to tell him when the emperor came back. She finally came back. She didn't want him to be tired and busy again because of the trivia in the harem. She thought that the corpse she saw that day was the same as the usual dead in the palace. She either committed suicide or was killed by a jealous lady. But today, a woman's corpse appeared. The Queen's forehead was in a cold sweat. What can I do.

Unconsciously, she had already stood at the gate of Qianqing palace, which was still in the early days. The Queen walked up from the side door of the Qianqing palace, just able to see the emperor's side face when he went to court. How dignified the mast was. The queen stood on the side of the main hall of Qianqing palace and was blocked behind by the screen.After waiting for a long time, the emperor slowly called to retreat. The people standing in the main hall retreated one after another and left the Qianqing palace.

The emperor came down from the Dragon chair. When he was about to leave the Qianqing palace from the side door, he suddenly saw his wife standing behind the screen. He was stunned and said, "Xiaoxue, why do you have time to come to Qianqing Palace today?" He put his arms around the Queen's thin waist and looked down at her curiously. The queen wants to tell him something bad happened. You can see his face, which is a little haggard because of staying up late for a long time, shakes her head helplessly. As the emperor, as the head of a country, it is natural to pay more hard than others.

"Emperor, a woman died in the royal garden." The queen looked at the emperor seriously. The emperor was stunned and frowned: "how How could it be? "

The queen shook her head and took him to run to the imperial garden. The emperor was so tired that he asked, "madam, did you find someone to surround that place?"

The queen helped her forehead, nodded seriously, and continued to run: "naturally, I have asked the guards to surround it. Now no one can go in."

The emperor nodded, which relieved him a lot. He said to the little eunuch who ran with him: "go and call Lou Xuan and Yue Tao."

The little eunuch ordered and ran away.

The emperor has run some roads, hungry and steady. By the time they got to the Royal Garden, there were not many people in it, just enough guards to stand at the gate.
