Chapter 312

Quanxi frowned even tighter. The emperor came to his senses. The court was in a precarious state. Everyone around the eldest princess was executed. Before the eldest princess died, the emperor personally interrogated her. After that, no news came out. I have come to report, why does Zilan still ask.

Zilan explained softly, "Madam is emotionally unstable, and this slave wants to ask, when will Master Hou come back?"

Quan Xi lowered his eyelids, blocking the emotion in his eyes, "The situation in the palace is unknown, and we won't know what happened until evening!"

Zilan frowned, and instantly relaxed, "Second housekeeper, madam..."

Before the voice fell, the crying in the room became louder. Zi Lan explained awkwardly, "Madam has been talking nonsense since she was having nightmares. I only came to ask about something related to Lord Hou."

Quanxi raised his head and glanced into the room, his dark face showed no expression.

"As soon as Master Hou has a situation, I will come and talk to my wife..."

Zilan sort of explained why Madam didn't see him, Quanxi nodded, her face still expressionless, "I'll go first if it's okay..."

Zilan went back to the inner room, Li Wan was already awake, leaning against the head of the bed, her face was pale, her usually peach-colored face was full of tears, when she heard the movement, she turned her head and looked over, Zilan trembled, her eyes were empty and confused, Without a direction, Zilan strode forward and bowed her knees to salute, "Ma'am, this slave has asked the second steward, Lord Hou is still in the palace well, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Li Wan's tears rolled down silently like beads with a broken thread, and she muttered indistinctly, "It's my fault, it's my fault, I hurt him!"

Zilan repeated Quanxi's original words, Li Wan was still crying. After the old lady died, Qin Muyin didn't even have the idea of ​​committing suicide. When those people killed him, he was conscious but didn't move. Why didn't he move? Wan couldn't figure it out, she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "Zi Lan, Master Hou is dead."

Zilan was startled when she heard that Li Wan's condition was clearly a ghost, she found out the clothes and changed them for Li Wan, then turned around and ordered the kitchen to pour a bowl of vinegar.

Li Wan sat in front of the dressing table, a face in the mirror became blurred, she reached out to wipe the bronze mirror, but it was still blurry, several times in a row, Li Wan gave up, picked up the comb, and combed it by herself. set off.

Zi Lan entered the room with a bowl, Li Wan sat there, her face turned paler, she stepped forward cautiously, "Madam, just drink some vinegar."

Li Wan turned around dumbly, lowered her head and glanced at her eyes. The strong smell of vinegar filled the tip of her nose. She slowly put down the comb, picked up the bowl, and took a sip. As soon as she entered her mouth, her brows knit into a ball.

Zilan showed half joy, and called out tentatively, "Madam, are you okay?"

Li Wan raised her head and looked into a pair of concerned eyes, how could it be good, Qin Muyin was killed, it was her fault, the prince didn't want to let her go at all, it was her fault.

Hearing no reply, Zi Lan became anxious again, Li Wan was usually fine, but today was so abnormal, after thinking about it, she asked in a low voice, "Ma'am, can you hear me?"

"Zi Lan, I'm fine. I'll be fine in a while." Swallowing her jealousy, Li Wan's thoughts gradually came back. For some reason, she dreamed about what happened after her death in her previous life. Seeing Quan Xi, she didn't think much about it. After reviewing the matter again, I realized that for Quanxi and all the servants of the Hou Mansion, Qin Muyin is their heaven. It is good for Qin Muyin to live if the Hou Mansion falls. Killing him in the night, there is nothing but revenge for Qin Muyin. Quan Xi's revenge is the revenge of killing the master, not the grievances of the Houfu and the old lady, it is purely for Qin Muyin.

Zilan raised the bowl and brought it to Li Wan's mouth, "Madam, take another sip."

Li Wan waved her hand, looked sideways at the figure in the bronze mirror, gently stroked the face with her hand, and said in a cold voice, "Zi Lan, call the two second housekeepers, I have something to ask him."

The strangeness in Zilan's heart became more and more serious. She stared at her and forgot to speak. The madam had been very calm all the time. She looked very much like Lord Hou. No matter how angry the madam was, she never showed such a murderous expression.

Sitting upright, Li Wan combed her hair in an orderly manner again, Zi Lan was stunned for a long time before she recovered, "I'll go now, servant girl."

Someone went to invite the second housekeeper, Zilan went to the kitchen, Zixun stayed in the kitchen to make soup for Li Wan, saw her, and grinned, "Zilan, have you started to pass on the meal?"

Li Wan didn't eat breakfast, it's almost noon now.

Zi Lan put the bowl on the cutting board, pulled Zi Xun to the side, and talked about Li Wan's situation, "I see that Madam is not in good condition, and I am hesitating whether to ask someone to go out and ask the doctor to come and see, you first give Madam Cook some porridge with preserved egg and lean meat, and when it’s done, bring it to the room, and I’ll wait for Madam to wash up.”

Zi Xun felt that Zi Lan made a fuss, "Madam's body is clear to her, and Doctor Zhang will come back two days later, please ask the doctor outside, not to mention medical skills, we can't tell if there is any evil intention, prescribed medicine Madam took it What if something goes wrong?"

Zilan didn't expect this, her face showed hesitation, and her speech slowed down, "That's right, forget it, let's take a look."

In fact, what Zilan wanted to invite was not a doctor, but a Taoist priest to do something for his wife, just to get rid of the unclean things. Zixun's scruples were not unreasonable, and she couldn't bear it if something happened.

The two had a conversation, and the maid at the door came and greeted Zilan, "Miss Zilan, the second housekeeper is here, Madam asked you to help her wash up."

Zi Lan took a look, and even forgot to talk to Zi Xun, "I'm leaving first, and send it here as soon as it's done."

Zi Xun waved his hand, ordered someone to pour out the soup boiled on the pot to wash the rice, then turned around to look for preserved eggs, and the kitchen was busy again.

When Li Wan went out, it was drizzling and Li Wan was in a low mood. Zi Lan sighed behind her, "The autumn rain may last for a few days, Madam, do you want to wear a coat?"

Li Wan was wearing a light yellow Confucian skirt, clasping her hands in front of her chest at this time, Zi Lan thought she was cold and asked this question.

"Nothing, let's go to the hall."

Quanxi's skin is dark, he looks slightly older than Quankang, and his body is strong, different from Quankang's figure who has practiced martial arts all year round, his arms look thicker and more powerful, as if they were left behind by doing coolies all year round, Li Wan couldn't help feeling Shrinking her neck, she wasn't afraid of Quanxi, it was just an inexplicable fear in her heart.

When the two saw Li Wan, they bowed to salute, then lowered their heads, and said, "Madam invited the slaves here for some reason?"
