"Miscellaneous words!"
I exclaimed and hurriedly ran over. The narrow corner could only accommodate her petite and slender body. I couldn't walk in at all, so I could only reach out and pull her out from it and hug her in my arms: "Miaoyan, are you okay!"
When I hugged her, I felt a slump in my heart.
Miaoyan's body was as cold as ice. When she pulled her out of the corner, she felt that she was stiff and stiff, as if the blood and bones in her body were frozen into ice. She was dragged out like this and held it in my arms. She had no reaction at all, and there was no trace of her eyes, and she was just so stupid.
I hurriedly squatted down and looked at her: "Miaoyan! Miaoyan!"
“…”
She didn't respond to my shouting at all. Even when those eyes looked at me, they were as empty as if they saw nothing, and they felt terrible.
I just felt my heart tightening, and I hugged her tightly with both hands: "What's wrong with you, Miaoyan? Talking to your mother, Miaoyan!"
Just as I was calling her anxiously, the people around me were obviously shocked. I didn't expect Miaoyan to appear here at all. Pei Yuanxiu was shocked and hurriedly walked over and squatted down, and said with a serious expression: "How come Miaoyan is here?"
I turned around and looked at him. At this time, Pei Yuanhao also walked over. He reached out to support Miaoyan's shoulder, and seemed to feel the coldness of the child's slender body under his palm. He frowned slightly, then turned to look at me. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes also had the same question.
Why, Miaoyan is here?
I didn't answer immediately, but turned to look at Miaoyan, and saw her hands holding her chest, a corner of something faintly revealed under her palm, and then said, "Miaoyan has specially prepared a gift for today's wedding banquet, and wants to give it to the newcomer. I think she is here and wants to give it to the eldest princess."
As I said that, I reached out and gently held the thing.
It was me who taught her slowly, embroidered with needle and thread - a simple silk handkerchief that poured into her a lot of her hard work.
But at this moment, I felt Miaoyan curl up suddenly, holding on to the silk handkerchief tighter, as if I was greatly frightened, and my whole body trembled.
I felt a sudden heartache and hurriedly reached out and hugged her: "Miaoyan!"
She still didn't say a word. She seemed to have no feeling about the conversation around her, my hugs, and Pei Yuanhao's touches. It seemed that there was an invisible layer between her and us. No matter how we spoke or acted, it could not reach her and her heart.
Although I had been sure that she was not injured and even had no blood on her body, those unsightly eyes and her panic expression still made me feel a strong sense of anxiety.
It seems that although my daughter is still in front of me, her mind is no longer in this body.
Thinking of this, I became more and more panicked. I reached out and hugged her in my arms, and said softly: "Miaoyan, Miaoyan look at me, Mom is here, Miaoyan!"
“…”
She still had no response.
Could it be that she was frightened?
Such a murder occurred in this room, with blood all over the ground, and a child would be frightened when he saw it! Just as I kept calling her, in the crowded hall behind me, I didn't know who said secretly: "Is the murderer--"
Before I finished speaking, I turned around.
Everyone in the inner room also turned around.
Before I could speak, Xue Muhua, who was standing beside me, had already spoken coldly: "Can you speak!"
...
"A ordinary adults can't do this kind of injury!"
“…”
After hearing what she said, everyone noticed the knife on Pei Yuanzhen's chest. It was a short knife that looked inconspicuous. The blade almost completely penetrated her chest, leaving only a short hilt exposed outside, and was completely stained with blood. But it was precisely because of this that after Pei Yuanzhen got the knife, the blood was almost completely sprayed out, and the surrounding walls were clean. Only her clothes were dyed red and her body was covered with blood, because the blood was flowing out along the wounds around the blade.
Not to mention a nine-year-old child, even an ordinary adult will not be able to do this easily.
Pei Yuanfeng kept squatting there, his eyes were red and motionless. At this time, he spoke, his voice as if he had iced: "Who is the murderer!?"
“…”
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Who is the murderer?
This is a question that everyone is considering at the moment, but no one can answer it.
Who is the murderer? Who killed Princess Anguo Pei Yuanzhen?
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the gate, as if many people had walked to the door of the bridal chamber. When I turned around, I saw only some messy figures outside, but they knelt down in one go. Then, I walked in alone and looked closely, but it was Wen Fengxi.
He walked out of the bead curtain panting and bowed: "Your Majesty, I've been inquired. The guards have been guarding around tonight, and no one has left their posts without permission. Just-"
"Just how?"
"It's just that they're changing shifts."
“…”
"And, they are mainly—"
Having said this, I felt that Pei Yuanhao's face looked even more ugly. Wen Fengxi looked at his face and did not continue to say anything.
However, some people still quickly understood what he meant.
This time the emperor went to Jiangnan, and all his attention was naturally on this Lord of Wancheng. Moreover, the several assassins that had occurred before were all around the emperor, and today's groom Liu Qinghan, naturally, the main guards were around them. Although Princess Anguo received the emperor's great favor and even received the privilege of opening the government in Yangzhou, after all, she was just a woman after all. Moreover, she had been filial to Zhao Shuyuan for many years and lived in simplicity, and did not participate in any decisions of the court. On the surface, she was not hostile to any forces. Those guards should also relax when protecting her.

At this moment, the sound of the guards pounding and kowtowing came from outside, and they shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Pei Yuanhao's face turned pale. After a moment of silence, he said coldly: "Boll them all and wait for the opportunity to fall."
"yes!"
Wen Fengxi turned around and walked out, waved his hand, and another team of people came up to replace the guards and protected the surroundings.
When Wen Fengxi walked back and saw this scene in the bridal chamber, his face also darkened.
Obviously, this is a prepared assassination.
The assassination man could actually find out the time when the guards changed shifts here, rushed in between the shifts, killed the eldest princess, and then slipped away. This was definitely not something an ordinary assassin could do!
At this time, the several soldiers of the Imperial Guard who had been following the emperor whispered to him. Wen Fengxi frowned, raised his head to look at Miaoyan who was held in my arms, and suddenly said, "Since Princess Miaoyan has been in the bridal chamber just now, then - has the princess seen who the murderer is?"
As soon as the words came to an end, everyone was filled with energy.
My heart also hopped abruptly.
Yes, Miaoyan was discovered in a corner just now. So many people entered the room but didn't notice that corner. The assassin came to assassinate Pei Yuanzhen. Although it seemed that there was an arrangement in advance, it was absolutely impossible to be perfect. I probably wouldn't have imagined that there was a person hidden in this corner of the room. Otherwise, Miaoyan should have been silenced.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly let go of Miaoyan and hugged her arms: "Miaoyan."
“…”
She was still standing in front of me blankly, and my call seemed to have no effect on her.
I felt something was wrong, and the voice calling her seemed anxious and panicked.
At this time, Han Zitong also came over. She squatted down in panic and looked at Miaoyan, gently shook her arm: "Miaoyan, Miaoyan, you are talking. What's wrong with Miaoyan?"
She turned her head and looked at me: "What's wrong with Miaoyan?"
“…”
I couldn't speak and didn't know what to say. Miaoyan was something I had never seen before. No matter whether she was angry, happy, frightened, or happy, I had seen all her emotions and all her appearance, but I had never seen her like this.
It seems--it seems like a body without a soul.
At this moment, Pei Yuanhao also came over. He slowly squatted down and looked straight into Miaoyan's eyes. I could feel his anger, but at this moment he was still trying his best to suppress himself. But every breath could feel the burning and the heat of anger. He said, "Miaoyan, what did you see in this room just now?"
“…”
"Who has come in?"
“…”
"Miaoyan, you-"
He heard it before he asked, because at this moment, we all found that Li'er was shaking constantly, and the sweat on his forehead was condensed, falling down like a broken bead. Moreover, her face was pale, with a little strange, almost sickly red, and it seemed to be very rosy, but when we looked closely, we felt that there was a fire burning inside her body, more like devouring her.
Pei Yuanhao and I looked at each other and immediately felt something was wrong. Pei Yuanhao hurriedly said, "Talking to the imperial doctor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Muhua stepped forward: "I'll take a look."
Pei Yuanhao saw that it was her, and didn't say anything, but immediately took a step back and let her come over. I hurriedly protected Miaoyan and remained motionless. It was as cold as if it was an ice sculpture. He looked up at Xue Muhua. She had excellent medical skills and hoped that she could see what was wrong.
Xue Muhua squatted down, touched Miaoyan's forehead and cheek first, and diagnosed her with pulse.
She didn't say a word, but I saw that her eyebrows gradually frowned.
Then, she turned around Miaoyan's eyelids. After seeing this, I felt her brows frowning tighter. She called Miaoyan twice in a row, but she didn't react at all.
I just felt the anxiety in my heart getting worse and worse, and looked at her: "Miaoyan she--"
Xue Muhua frowned, looked at me, then looked at Pei Yuanhao, who was frowning behind her, and said with some difficulty: "Maybe, abscess."
"What?!"
When I heard these three words she said, my heart was sank.
"Abstinence?" Pei Yuanhao asked: "What is the disease?"
"The symptoms are as their name."
Xue Muhua slowly stood up and said, "The child is too young, but he is too frightened, and he will be like this now. He is lost and loses his soul. He wants to leave and wants to return."
“…”
"When I was in Nishikawa before, I met a child. After witnessing a quarrel between parents, my father accidentally smashed his mother with a wooden bench. After that, he developed abstinence. For several years, he had never spoken and no one called him to respond."
I just felt that my breath was about to suffocate: "Then, can that be cured?"
“…”
Xue Muhua looked at me and seemed to be unable to bear it for a moment, and seemed to not know how to answer. After a while, he said, "I was not saved by that child. There are also solutions in medical books, but it is probably a delay. To cure this disease, it is probably a time, and more importantly, it takes some opportunity."
When she said this, my heart sank.
It takes time, and more so, it requires opportunity.
In other words, the chances that can be cured by manpower are slim, and they can only be delayed by time. Maybe one day will be better or some opportunity will bring her back.
I looked up at Miaoyan's mute expression, with my mute eyes, and I felt my heart was like a knife, and I held her tightly in my arms. The guilt and regret surged up in an instant, almost suffocating me.
At this time, a hand gently stroked my shoulder, and Pei Yuanxiu's gentle voice sounded in his ears. He tried his best to comfort me and said, "Qingying, don't do this. At least Miaoyan is safe and sound, which is already a blessing. Besides, Miaoyan also said that it is not an incurable disease. As long as we still have hope, Miaoyan will definitely be cured."
“…”
That's it, but this hope is slim!
Could it be that my daughter, her next life will be spent in such a despair?
I became more and more speechless, and I just hugged her cold and thin body tightly.
At this time, all the people in the bridal chamber sighed.
No one expected that he originally thought he could get a clue from Miaoyan, but he knew that Miaoyan was so frightened that he suffered from abstinence. In this way, there was no way to know who assassinated Pei Yuanzhen!
Wen Fengxi looked at Liu Qinghan and hugged Pei Yuanzhen covered in blood, and after a while, he said fiercely: "Damn it!"
At this time, a somewhat weak voice sounded—
"Since I don't know who the assassin is, then I'll find out who has been here, there will be clues."
When everyone in the room turned their heads when they heard this.
And I didn't look up at all, and I knew who the person was talking.
Han Ruoshi.
