The psychic Xi ​​Lan

Chapter 97 The truth emerges
For a long time, the wind messed up her long hair and cooled her face.

The vermilion door opened slowly, and a father-in-law wearing a dark green eunuch uniform came out from inside. Xi Lan had seen this person before, this was the father-in-law who was following the emperor.

He came with the emperor's oral order, "The emperor has an order to let the princess in."

The Habayashi guard in front put away his long sword and made way for her one after another.

She stepped up the stairs, followed by Zi Xuyuan and Ji Jinjiang.

Before Prince Xu's Mansion left with her, there was not much change, but she could clearly feel a sense of defeat.

Along the way, she walked in a hurry, and soon followed Eunuch De to the side courtyard of Anrui Pavilion, where the emperor's Habayashi guards were also guarding, with numb faces, strange and cold.

She walked too fast and almost fell when going up the stairs, but fortunately Ji Jinjiang behind her gave her a hand.

She rushed in and saw Li Huai lying on the bed in white, with his eyes closed.

"Brocade painting..." Today's emperor is also very different. He only wears a black brocade suit, which is not as powerful as when he was wearing a dragon robe. His goatee is also grey. Looking at it this way, he is just a haggard old man.

Next to Li Huai, Concubine Yu Guifei was sitting.

Yu Guifei is the same as the emperor, she is dressed in plain clothes, there is only one pearl hairpin on her head, she has not applied any makeup, she is much older, and there are even a few strands of white hair on her forehead, when Xi Lan walked in, she kept staring at Li Huai in front of her was the same as Xi Lan, she didn't want to believe it, so Li Huai went just like that!

Xi Lan stopped in front of the bed. From the beginning to the end, she didn't shed a single tear. There is no greater sorrow than this.

Li Huai lay there peacefully, still had that handsome cheek, the only thing left was a red mark like a drop of water on his forehead.

She gently reached out to touch the mark, Li Huai's skin was as cold as a corpse should be, just as cold as when he touched her cheek with his hand when she was in a dream.

"Li Huai said that this is the imprint that the concubine mother had when she gave birth to him...Concubine mother, is this true?" Her gaze moved to the face of the beautiful woman next to her like stagnant water.

Concubine Yu Gui's eyes were red from crying, she clearly heard her question, and said with a dull expression: "How is it possible, this mark was only found when I found Huai'er last night..."

She was startled, and her eyes fell on Li Huai's face again, "Li Huai, you won't lie to me, will you?"

"Jin Hua, when did Huai'er tell you about this imprint?" Concubine Yu's voice suddenly changed, and a gloomy light appeared in her eyes.

She smiled wryly, and slowly closed her eyes, "Just now, when I woke up, he was sitting beside my bed, and I saw this mark on his forehead. He told me that this was when my concubine gave birth to him. There are imprints..."

Concubine Yu sat back unsteadily, and the maid behind hurriedly supported her.

Xi Lan ordered coldly: "Go out, I have something to talk to my concubine mother."

There were several Concubine Yu's personal maids and Chen Niang standing in the room, the door was also open, she knew that Ji Jinjiang and Zixuyuan must be guarding outside.

The maid hesitated when she heard her order.

Concubine Yu Gui came back to her senses, waved her hand, and signaled them to go out.

They immediately retreated obediently, and Chen Niang was also going out with her, but Xi Lan pointed at her and said, "Chen Niang, you stay."

Chen Niang also looked haggard. Hearing her voice, her body froze for a moment, but soon, she also stood still!
The maid gently closed the door, Xi Lan took a deep breath, and looked at Concubine Yu Gui coldly.

"Who is Li Huai's biological mother?"

The faces of the two women were shocked, and no one thought that she would ask this question after sending the others out.

Seeing their expressions, Xi Lan knew that her guess all along was correct.

"You...how did you know?" Concubine Yu covered her mouth with her jade fingers, keeping her voice to a minimum.

Few people know about this secret that has been buried in the deep palace for 27 years, and she shouldn't even know about it.

"Mother Concubine, Taoist Zi said that you are destined to lack a lord in the middle palace, which is a sign of infertility. Isn't Princess Changle the daughter of the deceased Concubine Chen? Huai's fate is that her mother died long ago, who is her biological mother? Why do you want to hide it?"

Princess Changle's biological mother is Concubine Chen, and many people in the harem know about it, so why does no one know about Li Huai?
If they deliberately conceal it, there must be something strange.

"Princess, you can't talk to the imperial concubine like this..." Chen Niang persuaded.

Xi Lan looked over, she didn't speak, and she couldn't forget that she was still there.

"Chen Niang, tell me now, why did you kill Li Huai's two previous fiancées?"

Chen Niang's complexion changed drastically, her legs softened after being shocked by these words, and she sat down on the ground.

Concubine Yu asked, "Huai'er's body is not yet cold, so what's the point of asking Jin Hua now?"

It is so obvious that she wants to alleviate Chen Niang's guilt, how can she not feel it?
"What's the point? Li Huai once asked me, if he knew someone close to him was lying to him, should he pretend or expose her? At that time, he was alive and caring about this close person, so he chose to remain silent, but now he has no breath to lie down. There, I think, he probably wants to know a why?"

Chen Niang sat there with her head up to the sky, and she said with tears, "Forget it, this crime was done by the old man, and has nothing to do with the noble concubine... The concubine is smart, I am afraid that the old man has been found out long ago? The prince and the concubine have suffered a lot. You know it clearly, but you still treat me with respect..."

Xi Lan closed her eyes, not wanting to see the old woman crying in front of Li Huai's body, as if he was really dead.

"Chen Niang, it's not that I'm smart. You people and ghosts harmed people together. It was originally perfect, but it was sold out by a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake..."

The other party was stunned when he heard this, "Osmanthus cake?"

"That night, the female ghost in the West Court wanted to kill me, and all the guards outside the gate were drugged. It was Mrs. Chen who tampered with the osmanthus cake you brought. A plate of osmanthus cake cost 12 yuan. There are 12 people, one piece for each person is just right, why would you leave an extra piece for Chen Niang?"

Therefore, Chen Niang lied, she never ate sweet-scented osmanthus cake, let alone drugged, she just hid in the next room, waiting for the opportunity.

Seeing that the prince wanted to thoroughly investigate this matter, she was afraid of being exposed, so she had to ask the cook Chunlan to be a scapegoat.

"Mother Chen, what's your daughter's name?"

Chen Niang was in a daze, "How did the princess know that Lao gave birth to a daughter?"

Ji Jinhua naturally didn't know, because when Chen Niang mentioned her daughter, Xi Lan was wearing a mask, Zixuhe.

"It shouldn't be too difficult for the second miss of the Ji family to check the identity of a wet nurse in the palace."

Chen Niang nodded, "It would be great if Zhuer is as smart as the princess!"

This time it was Xi Lan who smiled wryly!

When she was Zixuhe, she once heard Chen Niang mention her daughter, when she asked Chen Niang where her daughter was, Chen Niang hesitated for a moment, and when she answered again, Xi Lan knew she had lied.

And the female ghost in the west courtyard said, "Aniang said that Zhui'er is beautiful", she always thought that Zhui'er was Ning Wanzhu, but in fact the tone was completely different, when the real Ning Wanzhu appeared in front of her Only then did she be sure that that Zhuer was another woman.

Knowing that Chen Niang had lied, and seeing someone offering sacrifices to a ghost in the west courtyard, she guessed that the ghost had a deep relationship with Chen Niang.

Chen Niang is not a Taoist master, at most she only knows a little bit.

If the skill of controlling ghosts is very human, most of them will really reap the consequences of themselves.

Only such blood relatives can live safely after this ghost grows stronger day by day.

"Why? Kill the two people who were engaged to Li Huai earlier?" To be precise, there should be three, and there is Ji Jinhua.

Chen Niang stopped talking!

She sat on the ground, and the tear stains dried up!
Xi Lan walked over and asked again: "Why? Why didn't you hurt me that time? Didn't you do anything again?"

At that time in the west courtyard, although Zi Xuyuan was asked to seal the courtyard, if Chen Niang still wanted to hurt her, she could still release the awl if she broke the formation casually.

"Don't force me to ask Chen Niang, it's my imperial edict!" Concubine Yu Gui, who remained silent at the side, said sadly.
