Chapter 175
"Cover it quickly! Cover the wine jar quickly!"

He Lanshan sat on the ground with her ears covered and yelled hysterically at Qixi. Qixi bravely stepped forward, but when she was about to cover the wine jar, she discovered something even more terrifying.

Chi Lian was tortured into such a ghostly appearance but has not died yet.She kept blinking at Qixi, her eyes filled with bloody tears.

Her mouth was wide open, and there were faint sobs from her mouth, like the evil wind blowing through the corridor in the cold night, making the scalp numb.

"Empress, Chilian, she...she's still alive!"

"This seat asked you to close the lid! Don't you understand? Cover this seat!"

At this moment, how can He Lanshan care about whether Chi Lian is still breathing?

She was cut off by Chu Jin, her limbs were cut off, her tongue was dug out, and she was soaked in the wine tank. Even if she didn't die, how long could she live?

With that terrifying appearance, He Lanshan would be scared out of his wits if he took another look at it.

Chi Lian watched helplessly as Qixi raised the cover, covering her hope little by little.

Her eyes gradually became desperate, and the sobs in her mouth became more and more harsh.

Qixi gritted her teeth and closed the lid forcefully.

But when her hand touched the bottom of the wine jar lid, she found a cloth scroll attached to it.

She tore the scroll off the cover, and saw that there were still writings on it, so she unfolded the scroll tremblingly.

Qixi hadn't read any books, and didn't know many big characters, so she had to pass the scroll to He Lanshan.

He Lanshan was startled by her sudden action, "Get away! What are you doing?"

"Empress. This was taken out of the wine tank. The servants can't read the characters. Can you see what is written on it?"

He Lanshan didn't dare to answer it, she flinched and glanced at the note in Qi Xi's hand.

On the scroll was written a line of big characters in correct official script:
'If you dare to provoke me again, you will be the one who will be soaked in this wine jar tomorrow. '

He Lanshan was scared out of her wits, waving her hands wildly in front of her face, "Take it away! Take it all away! That wine jar, that wine jar, let someone find an inconspicuous place to bury it! And this scroll, use fire to bury it!" Burn it! Go, go quickly!"

Qixi and Chilian had been friends since they were young in Youdu, and if He Lanshan wanted to bury the wine vat, wouldn't that mean killing Chilian's life?

She mustered up her courage to argue: "But the Empress, Chi Lian, is still alive."

"You go if I tell you to go! Do you dare to question me!?" He Lanshan stood up abruptly, grabbed Qixi's forehead hair and shook her head violently, roaring at her: "Go! How dare you If you push three times and block four times, I will bury you with me!"

Qixi was frightened and cried by her crazy behavior, took the scroll and ran out of the palace, called a few palace servants, carried the wine jar to the abandoned pavilion behind the imperial garden, took the Chilian and the jar of Nurhong together, and buried.

The palace people didn't know what happened, and after the wine was buried, everyone dispersed, and Qixi knelt down on the newly dug land and wept bitterly, "Chilian, I'm sorry, I can't persuade the empress , I am useless. Don't worry, you died so miserable, the empress will definitely decide for you! I will always offer incense to you, you can go at ease."

The night was thick and there was a night breeze.

Qi Xi was horrified, she didn't dare to stay longer, she wiped away her tears and ran away in despair.

However, she didn't know that Zhao Sijin had been following her since she lifted the wine jar out of the Yupeng Hall.

Now he is looking at her leaving back from a distance, smiling with stretched eyebrows.

After this incident, He Lanshan fell seriously ill and was bedridden.

Jiang Mubai was in a state of anxiety, and the imperial doctors took turns to diagnose and treat him. They all said that it was caused by palpitations, and the medicine was ineffective. They could only prescribe some prescriptions to relieve the fire, but the most important thing was that He Lanshan's mind should be open, and the root cause of the disease would be cured naturally.

Ever since He Lanshan saw Chilian's death, she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to leave the palace door, she huddled on the couch every day, and every wind and grass would scare her into sweat.

Jiang Mubai couldn't understand why she was frightened into this appearance, only Qixi knew about it, but Qixi dared not tell the truth.

The reason why Chi Lian came to such a miserable end was entirely because she was going to murder the eldest son of Emperor Zhao, and she was instigated by He Lanshan.If this happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

Fortunately, the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor was still helpful for He Lanshan, and her palpitation symptoms improved after five or six days.

Although she still didn't dare to leave the palace, she no longer acted suspicious when the concubine came to visit her in the palace every day.

That night, when it was time for bedtime, the palace servants took care of He Lanshan to wash and change clothes as usual.

When He Lanshan took a bath, she was only used to Qixi being by her side alone, so she sent the rest of the palace staff down.

When she was enjoying the comfort of bathing with her eyes closed, she suddenly heard a sound from the bedroom door.

There was a 'squeak'.It was very light, not like the sound of palace people coming and going.

A screen was placed in front of her who was bathing in the dormitory, and she could only see a shadow when she looked out at a glance, so she couldn't really see what happened in the dormitory.

She moved her body into the washbasin, and asked vigilantly, "Did you hear any noise?"

Qixi was in charge of pouring warm water on He Lanshan's body, the sound of water splashing was ringing in her ears, what could she hear such a small sound?
The master was used to being suspicious these two days, so Qixi didn't take this matter to heart, shook her head, made a break and skipped it.

But within half a cup of tea, there was an ethereal woman's singing, this time He Lanshan and Qixi could hear it very clearly.

"By the flowing wind, cold Xiyue, but at the head of the bridge, I will always meet~~~"

"Hu Erming, fighting hooves, no one hears about the death of a strong man~~~"

This is the battle song of Youdu, praising those brave warriors who died for their country on the battlefield.

The tune was originally powerful and powerful, but when the woman sang it, it was miserable and distressing. Even He Lanshan, who was soaked in hot water, felt goose bumps all over her body when she heard the sound.

"Who's playing tricks there!" She pretended to be calm and yelled behind the screen, then pushed Qixi and said in a low voice, "Go, go and see."

Qixi was stunned.

At the head of the Nai River bridge, there is always a farewell, and no one hears about the death of a strong man?

Didn't Chi Lian just work for He Lanshan and was poisoned, yet He Lanshan took her life?
And she heard the woman's cold voice, and the singing echoed in the bedroom for a long time.

This is the palace of the empress, and it is heavily guarded outside. It is impossible for her to enter so easily.

But if the wronged soul is claiming his life, it is uncertain.
No matter how He Lanshan pushed and pushed Qixi, she didn't dare to step forward to find out.

Suddenly, a black shadow of a woman with disheveled hair appeared behind the screen. She raised her finger to He Lanshan behind the screen, and said in a trembling voice, "I have been following the emperor for many years, and I have made plans for the empress in consideration of the empress' kindness. Why? Why did the empress abandon the servants? Bury the servants in the dark and cold imperial garden and die? The servants are not reconciled, the servants want to ask you, have you slept soundly these days?"
