Yanmenchun

Chapter 180

When they arrived at Concubine Luo's courtyard, Yu Wenji and Princess Tai'an had just arrived.

Concubine Luo died during her afternoon nap. The weather wasn't too hot these days, but there was Qiu Huhu, who wore very thin for her afternoon nap, a lavender tube top, and a white silk undershirt as thin as cicada's wings. Looming, the skin is like curdled fat.

Before she died, she seemed to be in extreme pain, clutching her stomach, opening her mouth slightly, and seemed to be silent before getting out of bed.

But she didn't shed a drop of blood, she just seemed to be unwell and died.

Concubine Luo's body was still cold, and the maids stepped forward to help her get dressed.

The imperial physician had already arrived, and he waited for the maids to help Concubine Luo put on her clothes before he stepped forward to look at Concubine Luo, her pulse was gone, her mouth and nose were clean, and he opened his eyelids to look again.

Finally, he said to Yu Wenji: "His Royal Highness, Concubine Luo has been feeling unwell for the past few days, and she has been vomiting and diarrhea. The minister told her not to eat cold food by mistake, but Concubine Luo refused to listen and ate some more. In the next two days, it got a little serious, so Wei Chen prescribed some medicines for her."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Concubine Luo's maid and asked, "Did Concubine Luo have any other reactions yesterday afternoon and today?"

The maid hurriedly knelt down and said: "I didn't eat ice, I ate some watermelon, I vomited twice, and I also vomited the sour plum soup for appetizers, I finally drank some white porridge this morning."

The imperial physician asked, "Is the vomit still there?"

How could this stay? The maids shook their heads.

Yu Wenji frowned deeply as he watched from the side.

The imperial physician finally had no choice but to say: "His Royal Highness, the side concubine has a stomach problem. It was originally a latent disease at most, and it suddenly broke out in the past few days."

But Concubine Luo has never had such a problem, Yu Wenji looked at Concubine Luo again, her complexion had already turned pale, there was no trace of external force, her mouth and nose were clean, and there was no sign of bleeding.

He turned his eyes to Princess Tai'an and Shen Tuchan again. Princess Tai'an had a somewhat unacceptable expression. Shen Tuchan and Xu Chuyuan, who was beside her, looked at the corpse with frowns, as if they couldn't understand why Concubine Luo suddenly died.

Everything was normal, Yu Wenji could only sigh and said, "Report to the Luo family."

After all, the Luo family was a member of the second rank, they would not believe it so easily, and invited the imperial physician from the palace to see it.

Yu Wenji turned a blind eye to this matter, and Princess Tai'an didn't bother with them, but the final result was exactly the same as what the imperial physician in the mansion said.

Princess Tai'an didn't know what scheme Shen Tuchan was planning, she was a little surprised and said: "What's going on?"

This is Princess Tai'an's small living room. Li Jingshu put those lotus buds in a glazed vase she brought, looked around at the flowers and said, "Luo side concubine has a problem with her menstruation."

Princess Tai'an was stunned: "A menstrual belt?"

Shen Tuchan nodded, she leaned on the back of the chair, as if her whole body was about to sink in, her legs were crossed, she looked defiant, Princess Taian knew that she was actually just a little tired, this was her very relaxed posture.

Shen Tuchan looked at the bottle of lotus and said: "There are some medicines on the menstruation belt, not many, since we planned to get rid of her, we put them away. After a long time, the body will absorb them. These things are harmful to the internal organs. Concubine Luo is the last What I spit out is not watermelon and sour plum soup, there must be blood, but it's just red, and I can't tell the difference at all."

Without waiting for Princess Tai'an to ask back, she said again: "Her internal organs are gone. I'm afraid it's just her stomach that's more serious. It's impossible for the imperial doctor to see her lower body. Unless it's an unjust case, the royal family and nobles have never let you do an autopsy. This statement, besides that she is from the Prince's Mansion, is a slap in the face of Yu Wenji."

So she died silently.

Princess Tai'an just felt uncomfortable all over her body, as if there were ants crawling on her body, all women have menstruation, but they never thought of such a vicious method.

She looked up at Shen Tuchan. Shen Tuchan was wearing a green shirt and was sitting in the grand master's chair. She was facing the window, and the lotus vase was diagonally opposite her. The light from outside came in and fell on her face. White and thin, the silver thread of the green shirt reflects a little luster, as if it is not a mortal body.

Shen Tuchan noticed that Princess Tai'an was looking at her, she didn't even raise her eyes, she just said: "Princess, is your heart softening?"

She called the princess, not the empress. Princess Tai'an knew that Shen Tuchan was reminding her, and said honestly: "No, I just think that once something happens, it will appear endlessly. For example, this kind of harmful method will not happen in the future Someone will use it on me."

Shen Tuchan hooked the corners of her lips and said: "Reincarnation in the world, karma and retribution, the nuns in Cilian Temple don't have these."

Princess Taian was speechless.

Li Jingshu reached out and picked the flower bud to change the topic: "The emperor gave Miss Guo Er a marriage to tell Cheng Guogong to stop meddling in the royal affairs. Cheng Guogong's mansion should be honest for a while."

Shen Tuchan remained motionless, like a soundless puppet, and said, "Leave him alone, my goal is Princess Rui."

After she finished speaking, she finally sat up straight with the armrests of the chair and said: "I need to trouble you to take me to Prince Rui's mansion tomorrow to visit Princess Rui."

Princess Tai'an frowned slightly: "Are you going to see her?"

Shen Tuchan raised her eyebrows and nodded: "Such a powerful woman, wouldn't it be a pity not to see her?"

She said with a smile covering her lips: "I really want to know the scene after Princess Rui bumped into the real Yudi when she rushed into the palace."

Princess Tai'an stroked her sleeves and thought: "Concubine Rui has not fallen out of favor for more than ten years. I still feel a little unreliable for a small jade flute real person."

Shen Tuchan had restrained her smile, she stood up, her blue shirt drooped following her movements, Princess Taian's eyes fell on her skirt, she only heard her say: "Please wait and see, Madam."

When Shen Tuchan got up to leave, Princess Taian stopped her and said, "Fifth Brother is very worried about you."

Shen Tuchan was in the back house of the Prince's Mansion, Jiang Lan couldn't see her, Shen Tuchan waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, I'll see him tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she was about to go out, and Li Jingshu picked up the placed vase and followed behind.

The fine silver threads on Shen Tuchan's green shirt were like the veins of leaves, and the silver light was shining. Princess Tai'an lightly put her hand on the hand of the maid, staring at the backs of Shen Tuchan and Li Jingshu intently.

Li Jingshu held the vase and turned her head to say something to Shen Tuchan. She was smiling and charming like a girl. Shen Tuchan's brows and eyes were much softer than when she was talking about business just now, and she even took the vase from Li Jingshu's hand.

They walked side by side, and Princess Tai'an seemed a little confused and said, "Is the embroidery on Shentu's clothes made by Chu Yuan?"

The maid beside her nodded: "It's Ms. Xu's craftsmanship. The servants have seen her purse before, even the embroiderers in the palace may be slightly inferior to her."

"Is she so close to Shentu?" Princess Tai'an seemed to be talking to herself.

Embroidery on clothes is a long-term thing. If it weren't for the embroiderer who embroidered from morning to night, ordinary noble girls would embroider a dress for more than a month, or even half a year.

So noble girls usually embroider purses, sachets, handkerchiefs and the like at most, but Li Jingshu embroidered a silver silk blue shirt for Shen Tuchan.

They are not relatives, not even good friends.

Some strange thoughts couldn't stop popping up in Princess Tai'an's heart.
