They say it's sick

Chapter 62

After all, Li Xuan's status was unusual, and he was considered to be of great importance in Pingzhou and even the entire court. Naturally, Yun Zhi and Li Yan were not the only ones who had doubts about his sudden death. There was no need for Mrs. Zheng to lie about this kind of matter.

What's more, she herself was full of doubts about Li Xuan's death.

Li Xuan had not stayed overnight in her room for many years, but Li's family had always maintained the habit of eating dinner together with the whole family, and would always meet each other every day.

During the dinner the day before, Li Xuan seemed to be in good spirits, as usual, and he dispersed after the meal. Li Xuan went to the courtyard of the newly accepted concubine's room, and Mrs. Zheng, who was used to it, went to Li Shao's room to see him first. After today's homework, he went back to his room to wash and rest. Before he could lie down, there was a knock on the door, saying that Li Xuan had suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma.

When Mrs. Zheng hurried over, it was already a mess.The doctor in the mansion stood by and was very busy;

The concubine's room was spat out with blood all over her body, and she was startled and frightened, and she couldn't speak well;

The previous Mrs. Ru heard the news from nowhere, and hurried over to kneel on the side of the bed with her half-year-old child in her arms, crying really hard.

After all, Mrs. Zheng was from everyone, and she didn't lose her mind when she panicked. While asking people to clean up irrelevant people, she arranged for people to go to the city to hire a doctor.He didn't even pay attention to take a look at the unconscious person on the bed.

The chaos in the mansion stopped, but people never woke up again.

"The meals, water, and utensils that the general has eaten all day, I have had someone check them, and there is no problem. I have arranged for the servants in charge of these, including the concubine's room, to interrogate them carefully. , nothing abnormal for the time being..." Mrs. Zheng put the teacup on the table, and looked up at the two people opposite, "As for the general, there was no sign of poisoning at all. So after several discussions, the doctors finally had to I came to the conclusion of a sudden illness. As for what this sudden illness is, it doesn’t matter if you say it clearly or not.”

It's not too different from the previously known information.

Yun Zhi looked away, looked at Li Yan, saw him nodding slightly, and then opened his mouth: "If madam is trustworthy, we can help to find out the matter. Since the person is gone, he should die clearly." .”

"Actually at this point, why the general died is not so important to me, but it must be very important to Mr. Yun..." Mrs. Zheng smiled slightly, "Even if I don't believe it, Mr. Yun is also If you need to investigate, why bother to ask such a question?"

"Although Madam can't change the situation in Pingzhou, she can still decide in the Li Mansion." Yun Zhi replied softly, "With Madam's approval, it will save a lot of trouble. Let's check it out. It will be much more convenient.”

"The people related to this matter are still locked in the backyard. Mr. Yun, you can ask if you want..." Mrs. Zheng lowered her eyes, "Just let me know the result of the final investigation. A couple who have been together for more than ten years ended up like this There should be an explanation for the result."

"We will give my wife an explanation for Li Xuan's death..." Li Yan, who had been silently listening to the exchange between the two of them, finally opened his mouth, "Then should I also give an explanation for my mother's death?"

"You can guess everything, what do you want to explain?" Mrs. Zheng looked at him quietly for a while——

This young man was so similar to his mother that the already blurred face in her mind gradually became clear, and she sighed unconsciously, "Your mother is indeed a hard-working person."

Having said that, she shook her head slightly.

At that time, the Zheng family was in full swing in the imperial court. As a young lady of the family, she was also well-known in the capital. People came to ask for marriage in an endless stream, but she chose a little guard who was born as a groom and had been in the army for many years. The sincerity shown by people.

When I first entered the mansion and saw Li Yan's beautiful but taciturn mother, I only felt that she fell out of favor because of her unpleasant temperament. Later, I gradually heard the rumors and didn't pay much attention to them until...

Mrs. Zheng closed her eyes. For more than ten years, she has buried this memory deeply in her heart and never told anyone. Now that Li Xuan is dead, it is time for the truth to come to light: "Your mother is indeed not Died of a sudden illness, it was... You were still young at that time, so you probably didn't know very well that your mother didn't enter the mansion voluntarily, and she was always honest with the general.

As time went by, the general didn't bother to spend any more time on her, so he sent you mother and son to that empty room to fend for yourself, and you were never required to show up at family banquets or ancestor worship in the mansion.Over the years, everyone in the house, including you mother and son, have gotten used to it, who would have imagined that day..."

She took a deep breath before continuing, "I don't know whether it was because of drinking alcohol or other reasons, the general suddenly went to your room, and then I saw your mother worshiping her dead husband, so I realized Although your mother has been in Li's residence for many years, she has always missed a dead person.

In a moment of anger, he stepped forward and smashed the man's spiritual tablet, your mother stepped forward to stop him, the two started arguing, and then the general drew his sword..."

Yun Zhi closed her eyes, turned her head to look at Li Yan.

Li Yan didn't show much reaction on his face, and even smiled lightly when he noticed the looking eyes, as if the person who needed to be comforted was Yun Zhi.

His hands were trembling, his five fingers clenched into fists, and veins appeared on the back of his hands.

Yun Zhi stretched out her hand, held that cool hand, opened fingers one by one, and then clasped them together.

The slightly hot temperature spread down the palm, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mrs. Zheng: "And then?"

Mrs. Zheng frowned at the hands they held together, but she continued: "Although your mother has no existence in the mansion, after all, it was bestowed by the late emperor, and the general thinks this reason is a good reason." The disgrace, so people hastily collected the body, and found a place to bury it in the mountains. It was only said that he died of a sudden illness, and no one was responsible, except you...

The general didn't think much about your life experience, but he became suspicious that day, and he found out the woman Wen who delivered the baby, the doctor who checked the pulse before, and the maid Juba who was with your mother in the early years, and tortured you Later, it was determined that as early as the general...

A few days ago, your mother was pregnant, but she was too young to be aware of it. Later, in order to keep you, she bought the doctor and Mrs. Wen with money. After you were born at full term, she claimed that it was premature, and you were weak and sickly. , then concealed the past. "

Li Yan unconsciously raised his right hand and touched his neck.

Obviously many years have passed, but it seems that I can still feel a hand tightly strangling my throat.

He didn't know anything at that time, he sneaked out to play for a while, and when he came back, he couldn't find his mother again. He stayed in the house for one night, and on the second day he finally mustered up the courage to go to the main hall to look for Li Xuan, just wanting to know where his mother was.

But he didn't expect that at that time, Li Xuan just knew that he had raised his son for others for several years, and when he saw his face that didn't resemble him at all, he became murderous.

The left hand was still holding Yunzhi, and the fingertips rubbing on the back of the hand made Li Yan break free from the suffocation.

He slowly let go of his right hand, straightened his back slightly, and looked at Madam Zheng: "No matter what, I still want to thank Madam for saving my life that day."

"I just felt pity for a while that day, or I was pregnant with Shao'er and wanted to accumulate some blessings for him..." Mrs. Zheng finished speaking, and laughed like a self-deprecating smile, "You might as well be lucky, the Zheng family didn't get married that day. Actually, I am pregnant with a child again, so speaking in front of the general is still useful, if it is changed in the future... your mother is a miserable person, but she is also a lucky one, at least her sincerity has not been let down."

She lowered her head and took out a token from her bosom. It was exactly the one that Li Xuan personally made for her when she first arrived in Pingzhou that day. After Li Yan returned to the mansion, it returned to her hand.

When he was newly married, he used to be like glue, you and me. Once the Zheng family fell, Li Xuan didn't bother to pretend again. Instead of being considerate and gentle in the past, he gradually revealed his domineering, cruel and cold-blooded.

And it was too late for her to realize that she was marrying a non-human.

"I'll leave this token to you..." Mrs. Zheng stood up and handed the token to Li Yan, "Some people won't act too much when the general dies, and use it to enter and exit Pingzhou City. It's no problem, everyone in this mansion will let you do whatever you want."

Li Yan reached out to take the token, glanced at it, and handed it to Yun Zhi.

Mrs. Zheng glanced at the two of them, and her previous suspicions became clear: "I wondered why you were with the members of the Yun family. I think you will gain a lot from the capital this time, so that's good." .”

After she finished speaking, she turned around: "There are still many things to be busy in the house, so I won't entertain you, you two can do it yourself."

Then without waiting for an answer, he went out the door without looking back.

Yun Zhi put the token in her arms casually, and looked up at Li Yan.

Li Yan still maintained the posture just now, looking at the direction Mrs. Zheng left, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Xuanzhi..." Yunzhi said softly, "Are you okay?"

"Actually, it's almost as expected, but when I heard it with my own ears..." Li Yan raised his hand and touched his heart, "It will always be a little uncomfortable."

"But at least the truth has come out..." Yun Zhi covered her hands, "It's an explanation to you from many years ago."

"Hmm..." Li Yan took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, turned his gaze around the room, and pulled Yun Zhi's hand to hold it, "Just now in the mourning hall, there is one thing I want to say to you." you say……"

"I know, even if it is finally found out that the person who killed my elder brother was indeed Li Xuan, it has nothing to do with Li Shao or the women and children in Li's mansion..." Yunzhi looked at him, "Even if it was only for Mrs. If you leave me, I won't implicate them either."
