Chapter 143: The Process of the Crime
According to Liu Chenxuan's arrangement, when the murderer knew that he had killed the prince before he died, he would definitely attack again. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Therefore, let the emperor and Commander Yun arrange this one. Mo Yu took Manxue back from Concubine Shu and asked her to pretend to be Prince Zongyi to sleep here, and let Concubine Shu protect her. Concubine De and Concubine Shu's martial arts are comparable, Concubine De is a killer, and her martial arts are naturally not weak, but Concubine Shu is not jealous, she is a woman who has carried a gun on the battlefield, this scene will not make her retreat, it will only make it more exciting.
Although Concubine Shu participated in this operation to lure the snake out of the hole, she still did not understand what happened in this case. It's not just that she doesn't understand, but a lot of people don't. So she asked curiously, "What the hell is going on in this case?" How did the little prince die? ”
Mo Yu walked over to the table, took the things from Biyue's hand, and opened them as she spoke. "This case starts with the night before the little prince was killed. Actually, that night, the figure that Mama Gui saw in the room was not Mama Zhang, nor was it a hallucination that she was dazzled by, it was Concubine De. Concubine De's purpose in entering the nurse's room was to smear something on the nurse's body. ”
Concubine Shu asked urgently, "What is it?" ”
"Mercury."
Mercury? Everyone in the room, except for Liu Chenxuan, was stunned. Concubine Xian said blankly: "What is the use of mercury?" ”
I don't know what mercury is for, it's stupid. Even if you don't know, you shouldn't say it. Mo Yu said: "Mercury is a colorless and odorless poison, and if it is applied to people's skin, nothing will happen. But once it comes into contact with water, it is highly poisonous, and once it is entered, it will definitely die. At first, I didn't know it, but then I took the nurse's clothes and soaked them in water, only to find that there was something that sank to the bottom of the water, and that was mercury. At first, she didn't know what the poison was, and wanted to try it with a chicken, but when she saw what was sinking to the bottom of the water, she knew that she didn't need to try again.
The Queen Mother was puzzled and asked: "Since Concubine De can enter the house, why do you have to go so troublesome to give the nurse mercury, instead of strangling the child directly?" ”
"Strangled the child directly, and the nurse would find out as soon as she got up in the morning, or even earlier, so that the murderer would have less time to destroy the evidence. The murderer still has a long way to go from Lanyue Palace back to the Meditation Academy, and she can't let people discover the fact that she is not in the Meditation Academy. It's a pity that morning, the child didn't eat milk, and the nurse had no choice but to feed him millet paste, and then the nurse bathed. In fact, the child refuses to eat milk not because he is noisy, but because the child is very sensitive, he has eaten the milk of the nurse for nine months, remembered the taste, that taste, and suddenly found that today's milk is different, so it will make a fuss. ”
Mo Yu spread out the contents of the embroidered handkerchief, and then stood aside to let everyone see the things on the table. "After the nurse has bathed, the mercury on her body has been washed off, but the sticking to her clothes has not been washed off. I took it back and left it for two days, and the insects smelled the milk on my clothes and crawled over it, and it turned out to be like this. ”
Everyone in the hall covered their noses with embroidered handkerchiefs in disgust, which was disgusting. Why is the concubine still standing by its side like a nobody! Mo Yu put it away with interest, but she actually felt disgusting too. Although the child did not feed, his lips still stuck to the mercury on the nurse's skin, and a small amount of poison did not make him die immediately, but he was not far from death. So he didn't make a fuss that morning, but fell asleep quietly. When the nurse found out, it was probably time for him to die. The child's breath was already weak, and when the nurse probed, she felt as if the breath was gone, so she shouted that the child was out of breath. Concubine Xian is the child's biological mother, after listening to the nurse's words, her heart was anxious and confused, and she preconceived that the child was out of breath, so when she probed the child's snort, she also thought that the child was out of breath. ”
The emperor asked, "Since the child still has breath, why does the imperial doctor also conclude that the child is dead, and he has been dead for an hour?" ”
"That's because the imperial doctor lied, not only is the imperial doctor an accomplice of the murderer, but even that puppet is also the murderer's helper. Lord Liu has taken these two individuals into custody and can be summoned by the emperor at any time. ”
"No need." The emperor said in a deep voice: "This kind of dog slave was directly thrown and fed to the dog." ”
The Queen Mother also echoed: "These dog slaves actually deceived the monarch and murdered the emperor's heir, which is an unforgivable crime, and they should be punished by the nine clans." There was silence in the hall for a while, and no one dared to comfort the angry lioness. The Queen Mother Fu continued to ask: "Then since there is a faint breath on the child, didn't you find it when you went to check the body?" ”
It's really mother and son, Mo Yu shook her head, "No, the child is indeed dead." Before the concubine and Lord Liu arrived, the child was already dead. ”
"Was it poisoned?"
"No, the cause of death was not poison, it was because of an embroidery needle." Liu Chenxuan stepped forward and took out a folded strip of cloth from his sleeve. He slowly opened the strip of cloth, presented the embroidery needle in his hand to the Queen Mother, and said, "The death of the little prince is because of this embroidery needle." ”
Isn't this the embroidery needle that ordinary women use? The emperor took it in his palm and looked at it carefully, and said, "Isn't this just an ordinary embroidery needle?" How did it become a murder weapon? ”
Standing a little tired on his feet, Mo Yu propped his hands on the table behind him and said, "Your Majesty, don't underestimate this little embroidery needle, in a woman's hand, it is used for embroidering clothes." In the hands of martial arts masters, it is a secret weapon that kills people. In the same way, under the Taifu, it can also be turned into a tool for killing. ”
The emperor looked at the embroidery needle in his hand in disbelief and said, "You mean to say that the murderer is the imperial doctor?" ”
Mo Yu nodded, "You can say that, too." There should be a murderer's eyeliner in the Lanyue Palace, and when this eyeliner knows that the child is not breastfeeding, he will find a way to notify her master. So her master decided not to do anything, and bribed the imperial doctor and the servant. Therefore, when Xiao Yue went to ask for the imperial doctor, he was actually invited to be the murderer. ”
Xiao Yue, who was standing at the back, covered her mouth in horror and looked at Mo Yu with wide eyes and incredulity. Everyone's eyes fell on her, and she waved her hand without any mistake, never thinking that one day she would become the focus of all these masters. "It's not a slave, a slave doesn't know, a slave doesn't know anything."
Mo Yu raised his feet and walked a few steps forward, took the embroidery needle in Liu Chenxuan's hand, and said, "Of course you don't know, in that case, whoever invites it is the same." Because the imperial doctor didn't dry the medicine in the courtyard at all, he had been waiting in the courtyard, waiting for the people from the Moon Palace to go. After he arrived in the child's room, he checked the child's condition up and down, and when he checked the child's eyes, he took the embroidery needle between his fingers and pierced the child's Baihui acupoint. ”
As he spoke, Mo Yu pulled Biyue beside him and demonstrated it with his own hands. The thumbs of both hands opened Biyue's eyelids up and down, and between the index finger and middle finger was the embroidery needle, which pierced Biyue's Baihui point accurately. Said: "The needle is fast and accurate, impartial, and very skillful." The whole root is gone. Concubine Xian, the two nurses, and the others, you all believed in the imperial doctor too much, and you believed in your hearts that the imperial doctor was the one who saved the life and helped the wounded, so you didn't care about his actions at all, and besides, you were anxious in your hearts at that time, and you didn't pay attention to it. In other words, the child was killed right under your noses. ”
There was silence in the room, and Mo Yu didn't say anything more, no one dared to break the silence at the moment. It seems that everyone is imagining such a tragic scene, a young child, but at the last moment of his life, he will be tortured like this, how can he bear it! After a long time, the candle was lit again, and there were bursts of whimpering sounds in the hall, "Woo woo woo ......"
Mo Yu saw that Ji Fei had fallen to the ground crying, and there was a trace of pity in her heart. Ji Feicui's expression can't be pretended, even if it's not biological, it's been raised for so long. She told herself in her heart that this child was her son, the son she would depend on for her life in the future. But in an instant, the son said no, it was gone, and he still swallowed the last breath under her nose.
The emperor squatted down, gently hugged her into his arms, patted her on the back, and was silent. It was also his son, his first son, how could he not be grieved.
"It's me who hurt the child, it's me who hurt the child. If I had been careful at the time, he wouldn't have died, he wouldn't have died. Ah......" Ji Fei cried hoarsely, if she was half as smart as Mo Yu, she would be able to find out that the imperial doctor was unusual, and the child would die.
Extremely mournful, silent, Mo Yu looked at the emperor on the ground who did not say a word. walked over slowly, came to the Queen Mother, pointed to the two people on the ground, and said softly: "The Queen Mother." ”
The queen mother understood, sighed, and persuaded the emperor: "The matter has come to this, because our Chai family has no fate with this child." The emperor also asks for condolences and take care of the dragon's body. ”
A teardrop slipped down from the corner of his eye, and although he quickly wiped it away with Ji Jade's hair, Mo Yu still caught it. The man has tears without bullets, not to mention that he is a generation of emperors. Mo Yu raised her head and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, it's late at night, let's go back first!" "Leave this space to them.
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Everyone left, and in the room, only two figures were left snuggling up to each other. Like lovers for many years, they love each other, watch each other, share weal and woe, and live and die together. But Moyu knew in her heart that this was impossible. Because of their identity, Ji Feicui is just a woman in his harem, and he is a generation of emperors, between them, there will never be love, there will be equality, and it is impossible to live and die together. He will be sad at the moment, not because of Ji Feicui, but because of his son.
Because the queen mother has just been pregnant, the fetus is still unstable, so she doesn't want to come to watch this thrilling scene. Now that the time has passed, the palace has already set the spoon, and the matter of arranging Liu Chenxuan's accommodation naturally falls on her, the noble concubine. Concubine Shu looked at Moyu before leaving, and then looked at the snow in her arms, not knowing how to speak. Seeing that she was embarrassed, Mo Yu said first: "Concubine Shu, I still have to arrange room and board for Lord Liu, and you can take it back first!" ”
Of course, Concubine Shu was willing, and said "yes" a few times again and again. And then they separated from her.
There is a special place in the palace for foreign ministers to stay, so Mo Yu led Liu Chenxuan away. Halfway through, Mo Yu asked, "You don't talk much tonight, do you mind that I stole your limelight and received your credit?" ”
"Cut." Liu Chenxuan rolled his eyes, "This kind of limelight, I have more appearances, and it is not bad this time." However, you really make me admire, and it is rare to see a woman as smart as you. ”
"I can be praised by your young master Liu for being smart, shouldn't I be happy for three days and three nights!"
Liu Chenxuan tilted his head and said, "I don't mind if you want to do this." When I first met you, I should have been in Shengping Building, when you were talking and laughing with a few young ladies, and looking at me from time to time, I thought you were a woman who saw something different! Later, in Concubine Ning's case, your every move made me have a little change in my opinion of you, you are smart and rational. Seriously, I have handled a lot of cases in the harem, and those concubines will only cry and beg for mercy, unlike you. You will look for evidence, analyze the facts of the case, and then prove your innocence. You're far-fetched, so far-fetched that it feels a little ...... Pity. ”
"I don't need your pity." Mo Yu glanced at him, "What about you, your first impression on me is arrogance, no one in my eyes, conceited, in short, you are an alternative in heaven and earth." Later, I saw that you were also investigating the case, and you were clearly organized, so you must also have conceited capital. You can become good friends with people like Yetian, Sikong and Zhongting, which means that you are not a person with eyes above the top. ”
"Zhongting's kid, I really didn't like him at first, who knew that his soft grinding and hard soaking skills were no worse than women. I can't help it, it's hard to be. Fortunately, he also knows how to repay his kindness, and he knows to bring me some good things when he goes out to play. ”
Mo Yu thought of Ji Zhongting's temperament, he really did this kind of thing. smiled and said, "That's really his honor!" Ha ha. ”
"That's it." Liu Chenxuan raised his chin triumphantly and said, "But there is one thing I still don't understand about this case?" ”
Mo Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's Concubine De's motive for killing!" ”
"Well, I don't believe the reasons that Concubine De said, even if she has hatred, then why didn't she trouble Concubine Xian and move the child instead?"
Moyu paid attention to the road under his feet as he walked, although the moonlight was bright and there were palace lights around him, Moyu still didn't dare to be careless, so he walked very slowly. "You men don't understand that. To make a person miserable is not necessarily to kill her. If she is deprived of the things she cares about and values the most, doesn't it make her even more painful? Isn't it the best way to take revenge if you live and feel worse than you die? ”
Fortunately, Liu Chenxuan also knew Moyu's hard work, and he could help Moyu when he encountered the steps. "Sure enough, it's the most poisonous woman's heart, hey, why didn't you become like that?"
Mo Yu glanced at him, what kind of logic is he! "If I become like that, the first person to look for you will be you, and you will become a eunuch."
"Don't." Liu Chenxuan hurriedly raised his hand and put it on his chest, "I don't have a sin against you!" Although I haven't learned your methods, I guess it's not much better? ”
"Hehehe, teasing you. You've arrived at your place, go inside! ”
Liu Chenxuan muttered in the back, "You can't offend a woman if you offend anyone, it's terrible to cut off your children and grandchildren." ”
Walking into Liu Chenxuan's temporary residence, Moyu left Biyue behind again, and instructed the palace people in the palace to serve Liu Gongzi well. After that, he stepped on the moon and went in the direction of the Jade Immortal Palace. (To be continued.) )
