Following the female officer, the corridor meandered all the way, and the Praetorian Guards on duty could be seen along the way, and Luo Qingluan finally came to the empress's bedroom. Lifting the beaded curtain, she saw the Empress lying on the ornate bed, her face pale under the curtain. If it weren't for the slightly undulating chest, it would have been gone.

Luo Qingluan couldn't help frowning slightly, what happened?

The situation is so not optimistic!

"Whatever I do next, don't interrupt me." With a straight face, Luo Qingluan solemnly reminded the female officer beside him that if he was suddenly interrupted by someone when he was applying the needle, he was afraid that the empress might be in danger of her life.

"Can you really save the Empress?" The female officer looked suspicious, not relieved at all, and asked again and again.

Luo Qingluan didn't answer the female official, because she knew that everything she said now was useless, and only by curing the empress could she prove her strength. Otherwise, a large number of Praetorian Guards surrounded the pavilion, and they would not be able to leave the Tianxia Kingdom at all.

asked the female official to send someone to send a silver needle, Luo Qingluan chose a set of hollow three-inch long, and inserted them one by one on the empress's key acupuncture points. The female officer on the side saw that Luo Qingluan was calm and fast, and her fingers were gently twisted, as if she really had the posture of a miracle doctor.

Who knows, but in a moment, her face changed.

In Luo Qingluan's hand, the originally translucent silver needle had been dyed with a touch of gray, and it was still spreading to the needle. It's like a small snake clinging, which makes people's hearts chill.

"It's really poisonous!" Luo Qingluan looked at the silver needle with a cold expression.

Before, she was just guessing, except that the poisoning would not attack so quickly, but she didn't expect it to verify her guess.

"This ...... This is? The female officer was a little surprised and looked at Luo Qingluan.

Nodding solemnly, Luo Qingluan replied, "That's right, as you think, the empress was poisoned." Moreover, this poison is not a simple commodity, otherwise it would not have occurred immediately. ”

"Really, really?"

The female officer's face was very unnatural, and she seemed to be shocked: "How come? His Majesty has been in the palace all the time, and he has not been in contact with outsiders, how can he be poisoned? Speaking of this, her voice was cold: "I'm afraid that Leng Gongzi poisoned the empress, right?" ”

Luo Qingluan glanced at her: "At that time, only Leng Li was with Her Majesty the Empress, how could he knowingly do such a stupid thing?" In addition to the palace maid, there must have been other people around the empress? ”

was speechless when Luo Qingluan refuted, and the female official looked pale and didn't know what to say.

"After Leng Li left, did the Empress eat anything or anything unusual?" Luo Qingluan asked the female officer thoughtfully. If the source of the poisoning can be found, then all the problems will be solved.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qingluan could really see the problem, the female officer was a little stunned, and said half-loudly: "If this is the case, maybe it was not Leng Gongzi who did it." As for ...... that night"

"Is there anything unusual?" Luo Qingluan frowned slightly and reminded.

"It's no different from usual, but it's just dinner." The female official tried to recall and said, "And I personally sent it, and the empress had an accident not long after eating, so I thought it was ......."

After listening to it for a long time, Luo Qingluan didn't listen to any useful information from the female officer, so he could only give up.

"Forget it, it's important to help the empress detoxify first. I'll make a prescription, you boil the medicine for Her Majesty the Empress to take first. Luo Qingluan carefully diagnosed the empress's toxicity again, and already knew it in his heart, so he quickly wrote the prescription on the paper and handed it to the female official.

"Does it really work?" The female officer stared at her.

Luo Qingluan's eyes did not dodge at all: "After taking the medicine, the empress will wake up soon, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the condition will worsen." ”

"Okay, then I'll try, if something happens to the empress, you know the consequences." Only then did the female official hand over the prescription to the palace people and ordered them to hurry up to boil the medicine.

Half an hour later, the medicine arrived.

Luo Qingluan picked up the spoon and slowly fed it to the empress's lips. However, after only a short delay, the empress's originally pale lips had already taken on a touch of gray blue, like rouge and roses, and Luo Qingluan couldn't bear to see it.

As the empress, she was unlucky enough to have accidents one after another.

As if knowing that it was a life-saving medicine, the empress swallowed unconsciously in one mouthful, and gradually, her pale face began to improve a little, and finally slowly opened her eyes under the gaze of everyone.

His lips were pale, and his delicate face was no longer his usual blood, but at least he woke up. The empress sighed, her eyes were confused, and the female official hurriedly knelt in front of the bed, and said in surprise: "Empress, are you okay?" ”

Seeing this, Luo Qingluan's whole person finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain, as long as the empress could wake up, the rest of the things would be much easier.

Although the empress who has just woken up is a little weak, she still carries the dignity of a superior on her body. After figuring out the situation, she swept around the palace people who were nervous on their knees, and said, "The extra people should go out first, I want to be alone with Miss Luo."

"Your Majesty, you are ...... body"

The female officer wanted to say something, but the empress had a sharp look in her eyes, with an undeniable momentum, and the female official involuntarily bowed her head and could only retreat.

In the originally solemn dormitory, now only Luo Qingluan and the empress are left, and they don't know what the empress wants to say to herself, and for a while, Luo Qingluan didn't speak, waiting for the empress to speak.

As if she had lost her strength, the empress moved her lips, and she didn't make a sound for a long time, and finally Luo Qingluan spoke first: "It's definitely not an accident that such a situation happened, I don't know Your Majesty, what are the plans in your heart now?"

With a faint sigh, the empress's eyes moved, and she looked up at the brilliantly arranged palace, and her voice was as soft as a gust of wind: "In my palace, I must have mixed in with the mole...... I can't imagine that after five years on the throne, this kind of thing can't be stopped. ”

Gradually, the empress's eyes revealed a fierce light, and her tone changed and she gritted her teeth and said, "However, I will definitely investigate this matter strictly!" ”

Luo Qingluan suddenly noticed something, the empress used an affirmative tone when she said that there were spies in the palace, maybe she should already know something about the reason why she suddenly vomited blood and fainted.

Spies?

Luo Qingluan pondered these words in his heart, and something suddenly flashed in his heart.

If there is a built-in, then ...... That woman is indeed very suspicious!

The empress stretched out her hand and gently shook the silver bell on her wrist, and in the next moment, a person dressed in white appeared in the hall, knelt in front of the empress and bowed respectfully: "See the empress."

In such a closed environment, Luo Qingluan was still stunned for a while for such a person to suddenly appear, but he also returned to his normal appearance in an instant. It seems that the empress has set up guards by her side, but she is still poisoned, so you can imagine the identity of that spy ......

Luo Qingluan looked at him carefully, the man was white all over his body, only the white belt on his waist was embroidered with the word "one". The eyes are burning, it should be good martial arts, and it seems to be an existence similar to that of the royal secret guard.

"You go and check, I'm afraid the sky is going to change in the palace. You must give me a careful investigation, and it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. The Empress's voice was cold, with a sense of murder.

After the man in white answered, he had disappeared in the next moment, as silently as when he came.

"Empress, when can we get out of here?"

Luo Qingluan hesitated for a moment and asked this question.

As if thinking of something again, the empress spoke: "Wait a few more days, and then I'll talk about it when I'm done dealing with the scheming matter." Don't worry, I'll let you go. ”

Her words were like doing tai chi, and Luo Qingluan's question was directly mentioned later.

Luo Qingluan didn't speak again, since this was the case, then she could only wait.

The faint voice spoke again, and the empress seemed to be in a different mood than usual because of the poisoning. There was a kind of woman's weakness and emotion, her pink lips opened slightly, and she said loudly: "These spies know about usurpation and murder, and the world says that the throne is good, but how do they know my difficulties in this place?" If I hadn't been forced to what time it was, how would I have wanted to be like this? ”

The Empress spoke to herself, as if she were a memory, and there was some depression in her voice. Now the person in front of Luo Qingluan is no longer the usual empress who is high, but just an ordinary woman sitting on the throne.

In Luo Qingluan's eyes, she was even more pitiful.

Because of that position, there are already too many things that bind her.

With some emotion, Luo Qingluan subconsciously said: "It's cold in high places, and everything in the world is something to lose and gain."

This sentence seemed to open the empress's conversation box at once, and at this moment, what was hidden behind her empty eyes was the loneliness she had accumulated over the years, which had never been known to outsiders.

"It's a good sentence, it's cold in high places! But how do you know the sorrow of those who are down to the dust! ”

As she spoke, the empress glanced up at Luo Qingluan, as if she had just felt that the woman on the other side, who was younger than her, also had a deep understanding. She sighed before continuing: "Although there are countless people around me now, after all, people's hearts are separated from their bellies. The human heart is more terrible than ghosts, you haven't tasted what loneliness is like, right? ”

"It's the kind of person who has a lot of people around you, but you know that everyone can't be trusted, and you have to be on the lookout for accidents that may happen at any time. I've had enough of this kind of calculation! ”

"Sometimes, I really don't want the throne anymore." The empress suddenly whispered with sadness, looking conflicted.

Luo Qingluan just listened quietly, she knew that the empress only had inexplicable feelings because of the crisis of her life. She turned her head to look at the still bright sky outside, and walked over to open the window: "The weather outside is pretty good today, Your Majesty, you shouldn't mind if I open the window, right?"

The Empress didn't say anything, just nodded in acquiescence.

It was just right outside, and the sunlight was gently shining through the window, and there was an indescribable comfort on the body.

Luo Qingluan hadn't sat down so calmly for a long time, taking a good look at the sky outside, a series of things had happened recently, which almost made her exhausted. She sat on the chair, the corners of her mouth slightly raised to look at the scenery outside, and the whole person had an indescribable sense of ease.

"Empress, look at the scenery outside, isn't it beautiful."

Luo Qingluan's sudden question made the empress a little shaken, she hadn't vented her true emotions for a long time. The empress took a serious look outside, nodded and said, "It's beautiful, those flowers and grass are green, after so many years, I finally found that they are still so beautiful."

Yao remembers that back then, her favorite thing was to hang out in the imperial garden with the emperor, but after she became the queen, she sealed the back garden. She doesn't want to, and can't expose her weaknesses in front of outsiders, to let people know that she still has nostalgia for the past.
