Jiang Wan has never seen the Queen Mother like this, or this is what the Queen Mother should be.

"It's the carelessness of the mourning family that will make people frame you again and again, Wan'er, remember, the mourning family is your backing, and no one in this harem can despise the mourning family."

Jiang Wan was a little surprised, it seems that she was framed this time and touched the Queen Mother. Jiang Wan looked at the Queen Mother, feeling a little guilty, the Queen Mother should not have fallen into the harem again, but now she wants to come forward to deter the harem because of her.

"Jiang Wan, thank you Queen Mother."

Jiang Wan returned to Xia Yahan's courtyard from the Queen Mother and told Xia Yahan that he was going back to Yunxuan's side courtyard. Xia Yahan said that she was unwilling to let Jiang Wan go back.

"Those people in Luoyun Xuan are clearly trying to harm you, what are you going to do when you go back?"

"They were just bribed to give false testimony, and they wouldn't be stupid enough to attack me personally, and I'm now participating in the investigation at the behest of His Majesty, if I die here, wouldn't it be clear that someone was setting up a blame."

Jiang Wan was actually a little uneasy in her heart, after all, Lin Yao had sent her poisonous food before, and wanted to ask for her name directly. He is now the target of the public, what if he implicates the innocent Xia Yahan.

Xia Yahan saw that she couldn't persuade Jiang Wan to go with her, saying that if there was anything wrong with Luoyunxuan's palace people, they would definitely come back to her.

On the second day, Jiang Wan was involved in the drowning case of Concubine Xi. Jiang Wan went to the Tai Hospital to ask if Concubine Xi's body had been disposed of.

"My lord, I want to see the body of Concubine Xi, can you lead the way?"

Knowing that Jiang Wan was here by order, he didn't shirk it, and took her to the righteous room where the body was parked in the palace. As soon as Jiang Wan walked to the courtyard of the righteous house, he felt a feeling of yin wind, and goosebumps appeared on his arms.

Because the righteous house is a place where the corpse is parked, white cloth can be seen everywhere, and the yin qi is entrenched, so there are also new and old yellow charms on the doors and windows.

"The first time Xin Guannu came to this kind of place, it is common sense to be afraid, and now only the body of Concubine Xi is parked in this righteous house."

He opened the door and walked in with Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan saw one long table after another, covered with white cloths, but there was no body.

Because of her special status, Xi Concubine's location is in the coolest and most ventilated place. He handed Jiang Wan a pair of gloves and a white cloth to cover his mouth and nose.

"Can I lift this white cloth?"

"Nature can."

Jiang Wan lifted the white cloth, and Concubine Xi's body was exposed in front of him. This was the first time Jiang Wan had seen Xi Concubine's body since she got the news, and Xi Concubine's face was bruised from suffocation, which made Jiang Wan couldn't help but take a step back.

Jiang Wan had never been in contact with a dead person, so it was inevitable that she would have this reaction, but she quickly calmed down.

The clothes on Xi Concubine's body are not broken, and the soles of her shoes have wet mud from the pond because of the rain, it seems that Xi Concubine is indeed near the pond where she went.

But why did Concubine Xi walk to the pond alone for no reason? This question lingered in Jiang Wan's mind.

"What did Officer Xin find?"

"When Concubine Xi found out, did anyone move her face later?"

"Not really."

On the day of the salvage, the only people who came into contact with Concubine Xi's body were the palace people who were responsible for the salvage, as well as him.

Jiang Wan looked at Xi Concubine's face, because it had been placed for a few days, her face did not have the puffiness that she had just been salvaged, and she could see Xi Concubine's clear facial features. Xi Concubine's look attracted Jiang Wan's attention, Xi Concubine's eyes were wide open, and her mouth was also open, as if she was frightened before falling into the water.

Jiang Wan leaned down and found that Concubine Xi's clothes seemed to have been pulled. If Xi Concubine didn't fall into the water, how could it be like this, and there should be a cry for help just after falling into the water, but no one heard the movement that night.

Jiang Wan had a bold guess that Xi Concubine should have been invited out by someone for some reason, and then the two had an argument by the pond, and Xi Concubine was pushed into the water.

However, this was contrary to the previous inference, which put Jiang Wan in a dilemma for a while.

Just when Jiang Wan frowned and pondered, a casual glance made her make another discovery. She noticed Xi Concubine's fingernails, Xi Concubine loves beauty, so she kept long nails. Previously, Luo Yunxuan's palace people were punished by her, but it was just a slap, and the palace people's faces were scratched with blood marks from their fingernails.

"What is this?"

Jiang Wan took a closer look and found that there were blood stains in Xi Concubine's fingernails, and if she looked closely, there were blood stains in each fingernail. This is certainly not Xi Concubine's own.

A smile appeared on Jiang Wan's face because of this discovery, and the key point of this case appeared.

"Mrs. Xin, but you have made a new discovery?"

"It's true that there is a new discovery, thank you for bringing me here today, I still need to report this matter to Your Majesty, so I will leave first."

Jiang Wan took off his gloves and masked white cloth and handed them to him, and then left the righteous room quickly. He covered the white cloth on Concubine Xi's body, glanced at it, and then walked out of the righteous room, and the door of the righteous room was closed.

Lu Zhixing had just finished the morning court at this time, and he met Jiang Wan, who came to find him. Lu Zhixing was a little surprised, could it be that Jiang Wan found a new clue.

Jiang Wan stepped forward quickly after seeing Lu Zhixing, "See Your Majesty." ”

"Xin Guannu is in such a hurry, but there is progress in the case?"

"That's right, can Your Majesty take a step to speak?"

The position they are in now, the palace people passing back and forth, is not a suitable place to talk about the case.

"Come with me to the Imperial Study."

Lu Zhixing nodded, Jiang Wan was cautious, which made him a little impressed. After Jiang Wan and Lu Zhixing walked into the imperial study, Lu Zhixing asked the guards to go out and close the door.

"Sit down, what new have you discovered?"

"I went to the righteous room today to check on the body of Concubine Xi and found that Concubine Xi had traces of tearing with people, so I deduced that Concubine Xi was killed by someone."

Lu Zhixing looked at Jiang Wan's serious appearance, and recalled the appearance of of course when Concubine Xi was salvaged, he didn't get close that day, so he didn't notice it.

"You go on."

"There are no traces of trauma on Concubine Xi's body, but the mud on the soles of her shoes should come from the edge of the pond, so there should be clues by the pond."

"And there are blood stains in the nails of Xi Concubine Niangniang, I deduce that there should be blood marks on the person who was torn with Xi Concubine Niangniang, although it has been a few days, but it can be seen that Xi Concubine Niangniang is very hard, and that person's injury will definitely not heal so quickly."

After Jiang Wan told Lu Zhixing about his inference, he said that he would not publicize it to avoid startling the snake. Lu Zhixing thought about it for a while and felt that Jiang Wan's reasoning was reasonable, and expressed his appreciation for Jiang Wan's carefulness and strategy.

"I didn't know that Xin Guannu had such a keen insight and was so cautious."

"It's just because I'm also a victim of this incident, if I don't try my best to find the real culprit, I'm afraid I'll have to be a pair of sisters who died in vain with Concubine Xi on Huangquan Road."

Jiang Wan smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said goodbye to Lu Zhixing and left. After Jiang Wan left, the guards came over to ask Lu Zhixing, and Lu Zhixing's serious face had a hint of surprise in his face, "I want to see what else she can do to surprise me." ”

Jiang Wan returned to Luoyunxuan's side courtyard, she deliberately did not bring Ping'er with her, she knew that Ping'er was afraid of that kind of place. When Ping'er saw Jiang Wan coming back, she greeted her, "Master, you're back." ”

"Well, let's go in and talk."

Jiang Wan told Ping'er that she had a new understanding of the case, and she might not be too concerned with Ping'er during this time. Ping'er understands very well that this is a major matter related to whether Jiang Wan can clear her suspicions, and she must fully cooperate.

At night, Jiang Wan quietly got up and walked out of Luoyun Xuan. She looked around, Luo Yunxuan was gone, the palace people rested at night, and Jiang Wan slowed down and left when he saw that there was no one.

Jiang Wan is going to check on the pond, if she is not mistaken, there should be traces of Xi Concubine coming to the pond. Jiang Wan came to the pond, because this was the scene of the murder, so the palace people did not dare to approach here when it was late, for fear that the unjust soul of Concubine Xi would appear. Because their fear is also convenient for Jiang Wan.

"Where is it?"

Jiang Wan searched along the edge of the pond and finally found traces in one place. Because of the grass covering, the messy and muddy footprints went unnoticed.

"It seems that this should be the place where Xi Concubine fell into the water at the beginning."

Jiang Wan found the scene of the accident, so he searched more carefully and carefully. Suddenly, Jiang Wan heard someone's footsteps approaching, thinking it was a murderer, so he hid behind the rockery on the side.

"Who's there?!"

Jiang Wan saw who it was, so he stopped hiding and walked out.

"Why did Your Majesty come here in the middle of the night with a lantern?"

It turned out that the person who came was Lu Zhixing, which made Jiang Wan very surprised. Lu Zhixing found that the person hiding was Jiang Wan, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

"I just went out for a walk, and when I passed by this place, I heard some movement, so I came to take a look."

"Your Majesty is really in a good mood, in the middle of the night, come for a walk near this pond, this is not close to His Majesty's bedroom."

Jiang Wan naturally saw that Lu Zhixing was unnatural, she knew that Lu Zhixing had listened to her inferences in the morning, and she also wanted to come here to find clues. However, the emperor in front of her suddenly arrogantly denied it, and she didn't bother to expose it directly.

"I don't need you to control what I do, but what is Guan Girl Xin doing here at this hour?"

"What else can I do here, of course, to find clues, I am not as idle as His Majesty and can still go out for a walk."

Jiang Wan glanced at Lu Zhixing, but because of the night, Lu Zhixing didn't see it. Lu Zhixing was choked back by Jiang Wan's words, and simply didn't say anything more.

Jiang Wan didn't care about Lu Zhi's trip, and felt something in the nearby grass with a lantern.

"What are you looking for?"

"I always think there should be clues, but there are indeed traces of pulling here, and there are also traces of Concubine Xi falling into the water."

Lu Zhixing looked at the mud on the ground, which was already a little dry, and it really belonged to two people.

Lu Zhixing didn't speak, and rummaged in the grass with a lantern. After a while, Lu Zhixing saw something from a corner that showed a glimmer of light.

He leaned down and took it out, and found it to be a hairpin stained with dirt.

"Come and see, what I've discovered."
