The cold palace was still dark and damp, exuding a pungent and unpleasant smell. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

He Meiren was lying on the simple wooden bed, probably struggling before she died, the quilt was a little messy across her body, one end had fallen to the ground, her face was a little black, her expression was hideous as if she was smiling bitterly, and the horns were reversed.

Lin Yan's first reaction was poisoning.

Lin Yan's eyes tightened, her gaze was cold, and she said: "Which one is the one who sends food to He Meiren on weekdays, and I will detain her to the palace first." There are also palace people who can come into contact with He Meiren on weekdays, and they all take care of me first. ”

The eunuch in charge of the cold palace knelt on the ground and trembled, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that when such a thing happened, let alone the position of the eunuch in charge, it was still unknown whether he could keep the head on his neck.

He raised his head and looked at Lin Yan, his voice trembled a little, and said, "Hui Niangniang, the palace maid who usually delivers food to He Meiren, she, she ...... She's dead! He explained a little quickly: "As soon as the slave found out that He Meiren was dead, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately sent someone to find the palace maid who delivered the meal, and it turned out that the palace maid had also died in her own house, and her death was exactly the same as He Meiren." As for the others, the minions are also being taken care of. ”

Lin Yan asked, "What about the palace maid who lives with her?" Didn't you notice her abnormality? ”

The steward eunuch replied, "It turned out that there was a palace maid who lived with her, but a few months ago, the two of them had a quarrel, and the other palace maid asked to move out, so the servant transferred the other palace maid to another room to live, and the palace maid who delivered the food lived in one room alone." ”

Lin Yan smelled a strong smell of conspiracy coming towards her, and there were too many abnormalities in He Meiren's death.

Mu Qing looked at He Meiren on the bed, turned his head to look at Lin Yan, and sighed deeply in his heart.

After a while, Concubine Hu Shufei also came in a hurry, followed by the imperial doctor.

Concubine Hu Shufei looked at He Meiren lying on the bed, a little incredulous, and muttered: "Why did you die, it's obviously fine." ”

Concubine Hu Shu didn't want He Meiren to live many times, but when she really died, there was a strong uneasiness, which was that she didn't know how to explain to the fourth prince, and there was an inexplicable fear, as if this matter would eventually involve her.

Lin Yan turned her head to look at her and did not speak.

And the two imperial doctors began to perform an autopsy on He Meiren, circling around He Meiren's corpse, and after a while, they glanced at each other, and then a imperial doctor replied to Lin Yan: "Niangniang, He Meiren should have died of strychnine poison, and it should have been taken at least a month ago, and then the toxin accumulated, which eventually led to He Meiren's death."

Nux nux? This is a very common Chinese medicine, which can treat rheumatism, wind paralysis and pain, carbuncle swelling and poison, but it is very toxic.

Lin Yan asked again: "What about the body of the palace maid, let the imperial doctor also take a look, and then search the palace maid's room." In addition, go to the Tai Hospital to check, who has recently taken strychnine in the imperial pharmacy, or who has the flavor of strychnine in the prescription for the harem, check it well. ”

Hu Shufei was suddenly startled when she heard this, her eyes widened, and she looked at Lin Yan and shouted: "Niangniang......" was about to speak, but at this time, a preacher suddenly came from outside: "Niangniang, Gonggong Wan is here." ”

Lin Yan turned around, and then saw Wan Gonggong who hurriedly walked in from the outside, he first walked over and bowed to Lin Yan, and then said: "Niangniang, the emperor can't leave for the time being when he discusses with the ministers in the Qinzheng Palace, so let the servants come over first to listen to Niangniang's dispatch." ”

Lin Yan listened and nodded.

Gonggong Wan said again: "Niangniang, the cold palace is dirty, Niangniang might as well sit outside first, and the slaves will deal with it here." ”

Gonggong Wan has followed the emperor for so many years, Lin Yan naturally has no doubts about his ability, and she is relieved to hand over this place to him, and then holds Mu Qing's hand and goes out first, Hu Shufei glanced at He Meiren on the bed again, sighed, and naturally came out.

Then Lin Yan heard the orderly order of Gonggong Wan behind: "Arrest all the palace people in the cold palace who can come into contact with He Meiren, and interrogate them one by one." Search all the corners of the cold palace for me......"

After walking out of the cold palace, Mu Qing looked at Lin Yan, who had a somewhat bad face, and called carefully: "Niangniang......"

Lin Yan sighed deeply.

Concubine Hu Shufei clenched her fists, and finally walked in front of Lin Yan, and shouted with a worried look: "Niangniang." ”

Lin Yan looked at her and asked, "Concubine Hu, what do you have to say to this palace?" ”

Concubine Hu Shu bit her lip, and finally had to say: "The recipe used by the concubine has a hint of strychnine in it." ”

Lin Yan stared at Concubine Shu with wide eyes as she listened, her eyes were a little sharp.

Concubine Hu Shufei was a little panicked and hurriedly said: "Niangniang Mingcha, the concubine has wind paralysis, which was left two years ago, and it is easy to make mistakes in winter, and the concubine's prescriptions are also commonly used. These are all truths, and the mother can go to the doctor's case. ”

The medicine at one time is far less than half a gram, and even Hu Shufei herself said that it is a medicine that is commonly used, if the strychnine in each medicine is collected, it can reach the point of causing death.

Lin Yan knew that Concubine Hu Shufei had murderous intentions against He Meiren.

If it wasn't Hu Shufei who did it this time, then someone knew about the recipe used by Concubine Hu Shu, used this recipe to kill He Meiren, and then blamed Concubine Hu Shu.

Lin Yan stared at Concubine Hu and asked, "Concubine Shu, you tell this palace honestly, is He Meiren your hand!" ”

Hearing this, Concubine Hu Shu hurriedly knelt down, raised her head and said to Lin Yan: "Niangniang Mingjian, the concubine doesn't like He Meiren very much, and she has also killed He Meiren before, but Niangniang warned the concubine several times, where did the concubine dare to start." As he spoke, his eyes turned red again, and he said: "What's more, because of the four princes, the concubines actually can't do it, and the concubines are also afraid that He Meiren is really dead, and the four princes will hate the concubines." ”

He also said: "Niangniang, if it is really the hand of the concubine, the concubine will not take the initiative to mention to you the matter of the concubine's prescription and horse money, Niangniang Mingjian." What's more, the concubine felt really bad this time, and I always felt that this matter would be like a concubine. ”

Lin Yan lowered her eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "You get up, wait for the results of the investigation to come out." ”

Lin Yan is still willing to believe in Hu Shufei, Hu Shufei is not a big evil person, it is not strange for her to kill He Meiren, but if she really lets her do it, she may not be able to do it.

But the results of the thorough investigation did not come out, and everything is difficult to say.

Hu Shufei said yes, and then got up from the ground.

Lin Yan suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "Does the fourth prince know about He Meiren's death?" ”

Concubine Hu Shufei hurriedly shook her head and said, "The fourth prince has suffered a little cold in the past two days, and when the concubine came out, he was sweating and was sleeping on the bed, so he didn't tell him, and he also ordered the palace people to prohibit telling the fourth prince." ”

Lin Yan nodded and didn't say anything more.

Mu Qing sighed and said, "It's almost the New Year, but this kind of thing happened." "The people behind this scene are purely disgusting and don't want to make people feel better. (To be continued.) )
