Palace Maid A held a blood-stained brocade handkerchief in her hand and wanted to wipe the blood from Concubine Xi, but the blood flowed continuously and could not be stopped at all.
When the palace maid saw Lin Xie rushing in, she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to beg: "Eunuch Lin, please help my mother-in-law, she has a terrible stomachache!"
When Lin Xie saw Concubine Xi's horrific scene, she knew in her heart that the child might not be saved. However, Concubine Xi was pregnant with Liujia, and if the child was stillborn, she would most likely die. She could do nothing. We can only try our best to save Concubine Xi’s life.
When he came forward, Concubine Xi was already unconscious from the pain, and she grabbed his hand tightly, wailing in pain.
Concubine Xi's nails scratched deep scars on his wrists. The pain reminded him of Qingyi. Was Qingyi also in such pain and helplessness at that time?
Lin Xie took the pulse of Concubine Xi's wrist and tried to inject martial soul spirit into her.
But at this moment, Concubine Xi had fainted due to excessive pain. Concubine Xi collapsed on the bed, sweating profusely. The pillow was covered with sweat, and the white dress was already bloody.
Lin Xie suddenly felt uneasy. By the time Pharmacist Chen arrived, the fetus could no longer be saved. Fortunately, Lin Xie injected Wuhun Spirit into Concubine Xi beforehand, barely saving the adult's life.
Lin Xie ordered Pharmacist Chen to guard Concubine Xi while he went back first to report the matter to Lan Lin.
Lan Lin was shocked when he heard about Concubine Xi's miscarriage. He stood up suddenly and decided to go to Luoyin Palace to investigate in person.
There has always been a dark legend in the palace. The king's heirs are often assassinated inexplicably. As for who the assassin is, no one knows. Maybe it is a certain empress in the three palaces and six courtyards, or maybe it is Different queens do it.
As long as it involves someone you use, using small means to cause a woman to miscarry is not a difficult task in the palace. As long as the matter is done thoroughly enough, no one will be able to find out about it.
Lan Lin came to Concubine Xi's bed, glanced at Concubine Xi who had saved half her life, and comforted her a few words. Concubine Xi cried until her eyes were dim with tears, blaming herself and feeling sad.
Lan Lin couldn't help but feel soft after seeing her, and hugged her to comfort her.
The light yellow curtain separated the two people in the inner room. Concubine Xi was nestled in Lan Lin's arms, heartbroken.
Tears wetted Lan Lin's clothes, and Lan Lin comforted: "Gu Hui ordered Chen Yaoshi to carefully investigate the slippage. If someone behind the scenes dared to touch Long Fei's hands and feet, Gu would definitely not spare her. If the slide was caused by an accident, Fetus, Ah Nu, you don’t have to be too sad, after all, this is just your first baby after entering the womb, fetal instability is also possible, and there will be opportunities in the future!"
Xinu held Lan Lin's hand sadly and said softly: "Your Majesty, Xinu knows that he is not outstanding among the many concubines, but it is because his father taught you for a period of time when your majesty was young. Your majesty I was grateful for my father's kindness and promised to take care of Xinu before he died. In the past few years, Xinu has been in the palace. Thanks to your majesty for taking care of him, I was lucky enough to be pregnant with your majesty's son. It is a pity that Xinu was not lucky enough to keep the child for your majesty. , please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Lan Lin stretched out his hand and caressed Xi Nu's back, and then said: "Since I promised Taifu that I will take good care of you, I will not break my promise. Don't worry, when you recover, you will have another chance in the future!"
Xi Nuo nodded, and then he was willing to sleep peacefully.
Lan Lin stood up, lifted the curtain and walked out. He happened to see Lin Xie standing waiting outside. The two looked at each other. Lin Xie could see the anger in Lan Lin's brows. He did not dare to look more and hurriedly lowered his head. Eyes closed.
Lan Lin put his hands behind his back and walked straight out, followed closely by Lin Xie.
The two came to another wing, where Pharmacist Chen was examining the stillborn fetus. Seeing Lan Lin walking in, they hurriedly ordered the eunuch to send the stillborn fetus out quickly to avoid scaring him.
Lan Lin said: "Pharmacist Chen, what are the test results?"
Pharmacist Chen said: "Your Majesty, what Concubine Xi slipped away was a baby boy!"
"Baby boy——" Lan Lin was so angry that he punched the round table hard.
Lin Xie looked at Lan Lin. He tried to reassure Concubine Xi that it was okay, but in fact, he was very concerned about his own dragon heir.
I don't know if it was Lan Lin's own fault or the bad feng shui of Zhui Lan Palace. Several of his dragon heirs had unprovoked tire slips before, and even Qing Yi's child died inexplicably.
Since Lin Xie became the chief eunuch, this is the third child that Lan Lin has lost, which is really strange.
Pharmacist Chen said again: "Your Majesty, I have tested the components of anthracnose in the fetus!"
"Xuexue? What are you talking about? Didn't Concubine Xi's medicine come from your Royal Pharmacy Department? How come the components of Xexuiasis can still be detected in the fetus? Gu was just afraid that something might happen to her fetus, so he specially took her into the hospital. When you go to Luoyin Palace to give birth, there are trustworthy nuns and maids taking care of you inside the palace, and there are a group of guards outside guarding you, how could something like this happen?"
Lan Lin had already predicted what would happen today, so he moved Concubine Xi, who was pregnant with Liujia, to Luoyin Palace to have the baby, but this happened.
Lan Lin turned to look at Lin Xie aside and said angrily: "Lin Xie, Gu Ming, you must investigate this matter thoroughly - find out the mastermind behind the scenes for Gu, Gu must cut her into pieces! How dare you? She will definitely die a good death if she harms the orphaned dragon heir!"
"Yes - Your Majesty!"
Pharmacist Chen said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. God bless Concubine Xi. With the size of her fetus, the miscarriage should have been a disaster, with one dead and two dead. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to survive. She must have died." Blessed people will surely be able to continue the incense for Your Majesty in the future..."
But Lan Lin no longer wanted to listen to what he was talking about. He stood up and said: "The fetus will be buried alive, and we will find a senior monk to save it!"
Lin Xie nodded and said: "Yes - Your Majesty!"
Lan Lin said to Pharmacist Chen again: "Pharmacist Chen, you will be responsible for Concubine Xi's medicinal diet after her miscarriage. Until her health improves, I don't want to see any mistakes again!"
"Yes!" Chen Yaoshi was frightened and raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He looked at Lin Xie again, and then said: "The Imperial Pharmacy Department also needs to thoroughly investigate this matter. Blood is a banned drug and ordinary people cannot get it. When the time comes, you and Pharmacist Chen will investigate the matter thoroughly! Gu Xiang I see again that someone in the Zhuilan Palace rose to power by killing innocent lives."
Lin Xie and Chen Yaoshi nodded: "Yes - Your Majesty!"
Lan Lin frowned and said, "I heard that a palace maid died in Luoyin Palace?"
"Yes." Lin Xie nodded.
Lan Lin then added: "I heard that the death was suspicious. Did he die of being sucked dry of blood?"
Lin Xie nodded, and Lan Lin said: "Take Gu to have a look!"
"yes."
When Lan Lin and Lin Xie arrived at the scene, they saw that Nian Sheng had ordered people to surround the scene.
The scene of the crime turned out to be an empty courtyard, and in the middle of the courtyard was a palace maid in pink palace clothes, lying on her face in the snow.
Except for a row of overlapping footprints in one place, there were no people or footprints everywhere.
The person who found her dead was Aunt Yu from Luoyin Palace. Because she was frightened, she was sitting on the side of the corridor in a daze. On both sides, there were palace maids feeding her the awakening soup and rubbing her head. , when Lan Lin saw her, her eyes were distracted and she was still a little confused.
Lan Lin thought he couldn't ask anything from her, so he went to see the corpse first.
Lin Xie pointed to the snow around him, and then said to Lan Lin:
"Your Majesty, according to what I learned, when Nanny Yu found the palace maid, there were no other people's footprints in the yard except the palace maid's footprints. She thought the palace maid accidentally slipped in the snow after getting up at night. And he fell down, so he rushed over to check."
"At that time, Nanny Yu said that she followed the footprints of the palace maid. Because the snow was a bit deep and it was very difficult to open the path, it would be easier to follow the pits left by the palace maid. But when she got closer, she saw that I was suddenly shocked, it turned out that the palace maid was already dead."
"Just now, I checked first and found the footprints of Grandma Yu and the dead palace maid all around. Indeed, I found no other people's footprints. I saw the corpse of the palace maid, and there was nothing else except a fang bite mark on the neck. Due to external injuries, the palace maid is like a mummy wrapped in a layer of skin, and all the blood on her body has been sucked dry."
After listening to Lin Xie's words, Lan Lin asked in confusion: "You mean the palace maid died after being sucked dry of her blood?"
Lin Xie nodded and said: "From what I can see, he is still a man who can fly. Otherwise, why are there no traces of his footprints in the snow?"
Lan Lin said angrily: "That's nonsense. Those who can fly are not humans, they are monsters with wings!"
"Monster -" Nian Sheng on the side couldn't help being frightened after hearing this.
Aunt Yu suddenly heard the word monster again and was so frightened that she fainted again.
Lin Xie looked at Lan Lin seriously: "Your Majesty, you mean that there is a blood-sucking monster in Zhuilan Palace?"
Lan Lin narrowed his eyes and said: "There are so many strange things happening in the palace, it's really puzzling. Lin Xie, it's not easy to see this matter alone. You need to be careful when investigating this matter. Now that Chang He is not in the palace, Gu's imperial guards will be handed over to him. You dispatch!"
After saying that, he threw a silver tiger head token to him.
Lin Xie saw that Lan Lin actually used the imperial guards to investigate the matter thoroughly. It could be seen that the matter was indeed not simple. He was still a little worried and said: "Your Majesty, you handed over the imperial guards to the slaves. Then, Your Majesty..."
Lan Lin said: "As long as I have Yanse by my side, you don't have to worry!"
In fact, when Lan Lin handed over the imperial guard to Lin Xie, he was more worried about Lin Xie's safety. He wanted to investigate such strange things for himself, so he naturally had to consider his safety.
Although Lin Xie's martial arts is not weak, if this matter is really caused by some monster, Lin Xie will still be difficult to fight against.
Lan Lin then left with Yan Se, and Lin Xie and Chen Yaoshi went back together.
The two of them walked on the snow, neither deep nor shallow, followed by a group of eunuchs and guards.
Pharmacist Chen said with lingering fear: "Eunuch Lin, thanks to your help this time, otherwise Concubine Xi's life might not have been saved! One corpse and two lives, I'm afraid I can't even save my head!"
