Chapter 73: Impartial Disposition

Yang Guang immediately sent a coroner to carefully examine the princess's body, focusing on determining where the princess's fatal injuries were, what caused them, and how long the time of death was.

Xu Tingfu's kung fu is like a frosted eggplant, wilting. What Li Shimin said is very reasonable, Yuan Ziyan can basically rule out the suspicion of murder.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Yang Gao was tired, and he was already asleep in Yuan Ziyan's arms, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly from time to time in his sleep, which should be a nightmare.

Every time at this time, Yuan Ziyan would gently pat Yang Gao, Yang Gao suddenly opened his eyes, saw Yuan Ziyan smiled slightly, and then fell asleep again, tossing and turning a few times, and finally slept soundly.

A palace maid and eunuch came to carry Yang Gao back to his room, Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but sigh, in the ancient emperor's house, children rarely had the opportunity to sleep with their parents, I can't help but say, this is also a huge regret.

Finally, the coroner returned, reporting that the ultimate fatal cause of the princess's death was the sharp knife in her chest. However, after careful examination, the princess's blood contained a toxin, which was made by refining the Xixia Gu worm for 7749 days, colorless and tasteless, and the silver needle dissolved in water would not be detected, and it would not make people die after drinking, but would only make people lose consciousness in their limbs and even faint.

Therefore, it can be inferred from this that the murderer is afraid that he will live more densely in Daizhou, and if there is a dispute, he may attract attention, so he charmed the princess in advance, which is convenient to start. This can also prove that the person who killed the princess should have committed the crime by an acquaintance, so that he could have the opportunity to poison the tea and not be detected. Of course, this person doesn't know martial arts, otherwise he wouldn't have taken such a big risk to poison him.

The most important thing is that the time of the princess's death has exceeded three hours so far, which means that the princess has been dead for at least more than an hour before Yuan Ziyan rushes away. As a murderer, it is impossible to stay at the scene of the crime for so long. As for who has been there before, it will take some time to carefully investigate.

Yang Guang listened carefully to the report, and said in a deep voice: "Wrap the princess's body in a silver coffin, go back to Daxing Palace to hold a funeral ceremony, and bury it according to the rites of the concubine." The eunuchs and palace maids who served the princess before their lives temporarily stayed in Daizhou to cooperate with the investigation, but this group of servants did not serve well, causing the princess to die of incense, and after the investigation was completed, she was assigned to the border, and she was never allowed to enter Beijing. ”

Be! Everyone pledged in unison.

"In addition," Yang Guang seemed to have thought deeply, and said, "Declare to the outside world that the princess died in the Turkic rebellion, and today's events must not be leaked." ”

Be! Everyone hurriedly agreed, but the voice was much quieter, and it was impossible to keep such a big movement completely secret, just try to control everyone not to publicize it publicly.

With a bang, Yang Guang slammed his fist on the case, and said angrily: "Who is so brave that he dares to murder my concubine!" I must let him accompany the princess to the funeral! ”

A few timid people were not wary and were taken aback, Xu Tingfu was thinking about something, and when he heard the movement, he was even more shocked, his legs were limp on the ground, and he barely struggled to stand up again, but his legs were like shaking chaff, trembling non-stop.

"Father-in-law Xu, you didn't kill people, what are you afraid of?" Yuan Ziyan rolled her eyes disdainfully.

Xu Tingfu's lips trembled, and cold sweat crackled and fell, but he couldn't speak, which made Yuan Ziyan a little more suspicious of him.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that most of this person has an enmity with the Purple Smoke Girl, and he is usually under the control of the princess, so this is the plan to kill two birds with one stone." Li Shimin analyzed.

"The princess has been in the palace for many years, and she can't help but have grudges with people, but Ziyan has not been in the palace for a long time, and she doesn't know many people, so it must be easy to investigate." Yang Guang also locked his eyes on Xu Tingfu as he spoke, apart from him, who was so jealous of Yuan Ziyan in the palace, and could even easily poison the concubine?

At this time, Xu Tingfu's face was pale, and he didn't dare to say anything, for fear of attracting people's attention, but what should come will always come, and when he looked up, he just saw Yang Guang's suspicious gaze, and knelt down with a puff, grinning and crying, and his voice changed tone: "Your Majesty, the old slave has served Niangniang for many years, and his kindness has not been reciprocated, how can he brutally kill him!" It's all, it's all that damn little shunzi, even if the old slave digs three feet into the ground, he has to find him out, let him make it clear, and give the old slave an innocence! ”

"Hmph, the more you draw it, the darker it gets!" Yuan Ziyan added unceremoniously.

Xu Tingfu was frightened into tears, and said with a sad face: "Purple smoke girl, it was the old slave who was in a hurry, so he wronged you." You don't remember the villain, but the death of the princess really has nothing to do with the old slave! ”

"Whether it's relevant or not, it's not something you can explain clearly in one or two sentences. Your Majesty, in my opinion, Xu Tingfu should be taken into custody and handed over to Dali Temple for disposal! Yuan Ziyan learned from Xu Tingfu's tone and said unceremoniously.

Xu Tingfu didn't dare to argue, many people knew that he was at odds with Yuan Ziyan, and he was able to mobilize the palace attendants, and he could freely enter and leave the princess's courtyard, so he had the motive and timing conditions for committing the crime, how could people not suspect him?

"Your Majesty, this is not Daxing Palace, the old slave is not familiar with the place, and he feels powerless to serve His Majesty every day, how can he still plan so many things to frame others? The old slave has followed since His Majesty was the king of Jin, his hair turned white in the blink of an eye, and he staggered, not seeking to be rich and rich, but to have a good death. Your Majesty, I beg you to be enlightened, to be enlightened! Xu Tingfu cried bitterly as he spoke, snot and tears, so that people couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

Yuan Ziyan looked at it coldly, feeling that Xu Tingfu didn't seem to be telling a lie, but there is an opposite to everything, and when he was classified as a suspect just now, didn't the evidence look very conclusive?

"After all, Xu Tingfu is an old man in the palace, and the scandal in the palace is not easy to spread, so it is better to take temporary care of it first, and hand it over to the queen to deal with it personally after returning to the palace." Yang Guang thought about it, and couldn't bear to hand over Xu Tingfu, who had followed him for decades, and finally gave the order.

Yuan Ziyan couldn't help pouting, Yang Guang also has a time to protect his shortcomings, no wonder people have to find a backer for themselves, and they can wash the black white at a critical time.

"Old slave, thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness! Thank you, Your Majesty! Xu Tingfu was grateful, and slammed Yang Guang several times, his brows were red, as if there was still blood oozing out, and then he was taken away by the guards in frustration.

Hey, being smart was mistaken by being smart, instead of taking the opportunity to bring down Yuan Ziyan, he made himself a mess, if he couldn't wash it clean, no one would dare to come forward in the future. Xu Tingfu was depressed, not knowing what was waiting for him in the palace.

Li Shimin was also inconvenient to stay for a long time, and he also bowed down to retire, Yuan Ziyan did not forget to throw him a few grateful looks, and he did not thank him for his kindness, and he would say it in the future, it is not impossible to make a personal promise. Li Shimin smiled in return, it was not easy to stay, and he didn't even say a word.

"Okay, it's all gone, don't look any further!"

Yang Guang's dissatisfied voice came from behind him, Yuan Ziyan scratched his little head embarrassedly, walked up to Yang Guang, and said sincerely: "Big brother, thank you for your trust, if it weren't for you, I might have died unjustly in prison." ”

"Don't slap the horse here, Li Shimin is smart and witty, I am nothing more than impartiality, Li Shimin is your life-saving benefactor." Yang Guang said sourly.

Yuan Ziyan smiled, and she didn't break it, in her eyes, Yang Guang was a good big brother, and she couldn't have other emotional bonds, so she stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and said in a coquettish tone: "That's different, if you are an ordinary person, you won't get up in the middle of the night for my business, and you won't go to great lengths to investigate any evidence, it is precisely because you gave us a chance that I have the possibility of survival." Therefore, your old man is the great benevolent man of Purple Cigarette No. 1! ”

"Smoke is poor!" Yang Guang was finally amused, and couldn't help but pat Yuan Ziyan's head, then stretched his waist and yawned, "A good dream has made you mix, and it will be dawn soon, and I will go to sleep for a while." ”

After serving Yang Guang to lie down, Yuan Ziyan, who had experienced the catastrophe of life and death, couldn't fall asleep. Clearing the suspicion, instead of making her feel the slightest excitement, she felt a little lost.

The princess's appearance always flashed in front of her, in her early thirties, her skin was delicate and white, although she was a little arrogant, but she was also harmless to humans and animals, and her sin did not lead to death.

As the emperor's concubine, she still can't get all the love of her husband, and even her death didn't cause Yang Guang to feel too much, on the other hand, it can't help but be sad.

Li Shimin said that the murderer and the princess and Yuan Ziyan both have a grudge, but the truth of the matter may not be the case, but this person has a feud with Yuan Ziyan, and the princess is just an insignificant woman in the palace, and she is a pawn to frame Yuan Ziyan.

Hey, Yuan Ziyan is very reluctant to face this reality, that is, he hurt the princess on his side, which is indeed an indisputable fact.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, Yuan Ziyan and her attendant asked for some burning paper, and planned to go to the courtyard where the princess lived to pay respects, so that this poor woman could go on the road with peace of mind, because she would soon be forgotten by everyone.

Although the night road was quieter than before, Yuan Ziyan had no fear in his heart, he was surrounded by a faint sadness, and soon came to the princess's courtyard, which was still silent.

Suddenly, there was a flickering fire point in front of him, although Yuan Ziyan did not believe in evil, but he was still shocked into a cold sweat, there will really be ghosts and gods in this world, the princess died in vain, and the soul of the wronged will not be dispersed, right?

Yuan Ziyan rubbed his eyes vigorously, there was really a jumping firelight, as if there was still a figure shaking.

There could be no ghosts, there must be other circumstances that caused this illusion. Yuan Ziyan swallowed her saliva, covered her wildly beating little heart and walked over bravely, and found that there seemed to be a woman in front of the fire, dressed in plain clothes, with long hair reaching to her waist, and she didn't move.

Very much like a woman in the palace, Yuan Ziyan suddenly felt that her back bones were cold, and she almost didn't scream, so she ran away and left this ghost place if she wanted to.
