Chapter 67: Suspicion of the case

The next day, Shen Yunche, Su Miaojing, and Qi Jun came to the Warm Wind Pavilion. Today, they entered the palace to find the palace maids and eunuchs who served him to ask if there was anything unusual about the Ten Princes at the banquet, so Ling Miyue did not enter the palace, after all, her identity was just a small pretense.

Although Ji Yiyun was named a concubine, she did not move out of the Warm Wind Pavilion. This Warm Wind Pavilion was specially built by the emperor for her, which was larger than the concubine's bedroom (Jingxiu Palace), and the name of the Warm Wind Pavilion was also inscribed by the emperor himself. The first time the emperor saw Ji Yiyun, she was like a warm breeze blowing into his heart, so naming his bedroom Warm Wind Pavilion was enough to see the emperor's favor for her.

At this moment, in the Warm Wind Pavilion, Ji Yiyun had a sad face on her face, and the emperor was sitting next to her, constantly comforting her. I only listened to the emperor's tone of comfort, and there was a hint of gentleness, "Yun'er, be good, can you eat something?"

You haven't eaten for a day and a night, and your body will be crippled if you continue like this, so come and get something to eat. The emperor held a bowl of lotus seed porridge and persuaded her to eat like a child.

Ji Yiyun looked at the emperor looking at him with a distressed face, and there was both heartache and a little comfort in his heart. Early in the morning, the emperor came to the Warm Wind Pavilion, and listened to her personal palace maid say that she was unwilling to eat, so she had been kind enough to persuade her, if it was other concubines, it was estimated that he would never have such patience, and it was enough to see the emperor's sincerity to her.

Ji Yiyun had no choice but to open her small mouth and eat the spoonful of lotus seed porridge in the emperor's hand, but she wanted to swallow it hard, but she couldn't help but spit it out. Seeing this, the emperor's tone was doting, and there was a hint of reproach, but the emperor understood that she couldn't eat it at all, and Ji Yiyun only ate it when he saw him persuade himself to eat so patiently. I only heard the emperor say, "Yun'er, don't be in a hurry, swallow slowly." The palace maid next to her was about to wipe the corners of her mouth, and the emperor took the handkerchief and wiped it gently, wiped it clean, and handed it to the palace maid.

At this time, someone outside came in to spread the word, saying that His Royal Highness King Yue and Princess Yue, as well as Shaoqing of Dali Temple, were here. The emperor knew what they were coming to do? A deep and majestic voice commanded, "Let them in." "

Su Miaojing and Shen Yunche walked in, and after saluting, the emperor slowly spoke, "I know what you are doing?" Let's go to the side hall and wait! I'll come later. "

After they arrived at the side hall, the emperor came to the side hall after a quarter of an hour.

The Emperor came in and sat down, and after they saluted together, the Emperor's stern voice asked, "How is the case investigated?" What did you find? "

Qi Jun told the emperor about the things Su Miaojing found yesterday, and after listening to it, the emperor looked at Su Miaojing with an unfathomable face, thinking in his heart, folk rumors that Princess Yue is not only good at medicine, but also proficient in autopsy and case investigation, it seems that it is true.

The emperor instructed in a majestic tone, "You can ask the palace maids and eunuchs in the Warm Wind Pavilion, but you must not disturb the concubine's rest." "

They nodded.

So Su Miaojing gathered the four palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting for Shen Yuncheng together, two palace maids, two eunuchs, and she also brought the palace maid who saw the prince pushing the ten princes into the water the day before yesterday.

There were five people kneeling in front of her, two eunuchs in front and three palace maids kneeling behind. The two eunuchs wore dark blue eunuch robes with round collars and round sleeves. Among the three palace maids, the palace maid who said the day before yesterday that he saw the prince pushing the ten princes into the water was wearing a light blue long skirt with round sleeves, and the other two palace maids were in the palace of the ten princes, and they were all pink long skirts like the palace maids in the Warm Wind Pavilion, but the collar and sleeves were the same. They knelt in front of them with trembling bodies, and after they finished saluting one by one, Su Miaojing let them get up.

Su Miaojing asked softly, "Who is the personal eunuch of the Ten Princes?" Stand up. "

I saw the person standing on Su Miaojing's right hand walking out slowly. With fear on his face, "Back to the princess, the slave is His Royal Highness's personal eunuch." "

Su Miaojing gently persuaded and asked, "Don't be afraid, I'm just asking you a few simple questions, you just need to tell the truth." He nodded, the fear in his heart decreased a little, and he felt that Princess Yue was born with a power to calm people's hearts.

That's for sure, after all, she's a psychiatrist, so what she says is always reassuring.

Su Miaojing asked him in a soft voice, "The afternoon before yesterday, what was unusual about His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince, and where had he been?" Have you seen anyone? Think about it before you answer. "

He thought about it seriously and said to Su Miaojing, "Back to the princess, His Royal Highness didn't have any abnormal behavior that day, but His Royal Highness heard that the banquet was over, and His Royal Highness couldn't wait to come to the Warm Wind Pavilion to find the concubine." "

Su Miaojing asked again, "Who can you meet on the way?" "

He thought for a moment and replied, "No." Suddenly, as if he remembered something else, he hurriedly said, "That afternoon, His Royal Highness saw Shuyuan Niangniang and Liu Meiren arguing in the Imperial Garden. At that time, His Royal Highness didn't pay attention and bumped into Shuyuan Niangniang.

At that time, His Royal Highness apologized, but Shuyuan Niangniang still rebuked His Highness a few words. "

Su Miaojing asked him, "Then you tell me exactly what Shuyuan Niangniang reprimanded the Ten Princes at that time." "

He thought for a while, and then said: "After His Royal Highness bumped into Shuyuan Niangniang, Shuyuan Niangniang scolded His Highness loudly for not knowing the etiquette, rampage in the palace, and even dropped a few words from the concubine Niangniang, saying that His Royal Highness, as the prince, represents the manners of the royal family, and the concubine Niangniang did not educate His Highness well, so His Royal Highness would be so reckless and reckless, and he did not know the etiquette."

At that time, His Royal Highness heard Shuyuan Niangniang accuse the concubine Niangniang, and His Royal Highness was angry and went back, saying that Shuyuan Niangniang took a mouse and was nosy, and accused Shuyuan Niangniang not to blame her own fault on the concubine Niangniang. After finishing speaking, His Highness ran away and came to the Warm Wind Pavilion. "

When Su Miaojing heard this, it was strange, Shuyuan and Liu Meiren quarreled, and not long after that hour (15 to 17 p.m.), because when his body was examined, it was found that he died from 2 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon (13 to 15 p.m.). At that time, the Ten Princes were already dead, and it was impossible for the murderer to have time to set up the scene and frame the Prince after killing His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, after all, the place where Shuyuan and Liu Meiren quarreled was near the Hundred Gardens of the Imperial Garden, and after a corridor, you could see the pavilion where the Ten Princes were found. There were only less than five minutes in the middle, and it was impossible for the murderer to drag the ten princes to the pavilion after killing them, and set up the scene.

From here, it can be seen that it is impossible for the crown prince to kill the ten princes, because the ten princes are already dead at this time. However, what he wondered was that since the Ten Princes had died at this time, who was the person who went to the Warm Wind Pavilion with him and bumped into Shuyuan on the way? There are only two possibilities, first, the Ten Princes at that time were pretended to be by others, and the real Ten Princes had been killed by the murderer; Second, the murderer had already killed the Ten Princes, but he used some means to cover up the real time of his killing.

Su Miaojing asked a few other people, and in the end, only the palace maid who witnessed the Ten Princes being pushed into the water by the crown prince the day before yesterday remained.

Now she feels that the case is more complicated, originally she thought that the murderer behind the scenes might be a woman in the harem, but now it seems that it is not so simple, it seems that this matter is committed by the people of the harem and someone in the court in secret collusion. The women in the harem should be plotting for the position of queen, and as for the people in the court, they should be plotting for the position of the prince.
