Xiaodie said: "Yes, Your Majesty, today is New Year's Eve. There are many female relatives entering the palace, and they have to queue up for the clean room, so we came back late!"
Hearing this, Chu Xuanchen's eyes darkened. It seemed that the woman who looked like Yue'er just now was not Yue'er!
Seeing that Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue were so affectionate, Concubine Xue felt sour, her hands were tightly twisted together, and the look on her face was also bleak.
Amina next to her saw this and quickly touched her with her elbow. Only then did she come back to her senses and did not dare to lose her mind again.
At this time, Yun Ruoyue looked at Chu Xuanchen anxiously: "My lord, where did the blood on your body come from? What happened?"
"Princess Li, I have to ask Prince Li himself about this! But before asking, you'd better take a look at what's on the ground first!" the queen said, reaching out and pointing coldly at the ground not far away.
Upon hearing her words, Yun Ruoyue quickly looked towards the ground.
With the light from the lantern on the roof, Yun Ruoyue glanced around and saw a woman lying on the ground not far away.
She quickly walked over and saw that the woman was covered in blood and there was a bloody ax next to her.
She was immediately horrified, "Who is this? She seems to be dead!"
"I also want to know who she is. Come and have a look!" At this time, Emperor Hongyuan had already spoken coldly.
After he gave the order, Eunuch Xu immediately stepped forward and took a closer look.
When he saw the deceased's face clearly, he suddenly stepped back with a look of horror: "Your Majesty, this is Concubine Lan, and the deceased is Concubine Lan!"
"What? Is it Lan Wu? Didn't Lan Wu go to clean the room just now? How could she die here?" the queen said, and rushed forward in disbelief.
She rushed to the corpse and took a closer look. It was indeed Lan Wu's face.
Lan Wu was now disheveled and ferocious, looking like an evil ghost from hell, which made the queen tremble.
"How...how could it be the concubine?" At this time, Lan Wu's personal maid Hongying was already trembling with fear.
"Mother, mother..." Chu Yujin, who was over one year old, also broke away from Hongying's hand and ran towards Lan Wu's body.
Hongying hurriedly said: "Yujin, come back quickly, you can't look!"
The queen also hurriedly said: "Hongying, take Yujin down quickly, so as not to scare him!"
"Yes, empress." After Hongying finished speaking, she quickly picked up Chu Yujin, then looked at Lan Wu's body with heartache, and left with red eyes!
After Hongying left with Chu Yujin, the queen also glanced at Lan Wu's body with distress.
Then, she turned around, pointed angrily at Chu Xuanchen, and said sternly: "King DaLi! Did you kill Lan Wu?"
Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows coldly, looking calm in the face of danger, and said in a deep voice, "I didn't kill Lan Wu. Just now when I was looking at the plum blossoms in the plum garden, I suddenly saw a woman who looked very much like Ruoyue passing by. I thought
It was Ruoyue, so I hurriedly chased after her. Who knew that when I chased her here, she disappeared. Then, I heard a woman's scream, and I ran over quickly. When I ran here,
I saw this woman lying on the ground with unkempt hair. In a hurry, I thought she was Ruoyue, so I rushed over. Unexpectedly, when I lifted up her hair, I found that she was not Ruoyue, but Concubine Lan.
, you came when I felt something was wrong!"
When the queen heard this, she smiled coldly, "Humph! Do you think I will believe your lies? We saw you sneaking around in the Merlin just now. Who knew that as soon as we followed us, we saw you putting down Lan?
Wu. There are only you and Lan Wu here, and looking at the blood stains on your body, do you still dare to say that you didn’t kill her?"
