"Didn't you get sick?" The woman was stunned when she heard Yan Su's question: "How come?" My family has always loved to cry since the full moon, and when I was at home, I also asked a doctor, but the doctor couldn't cure it, and Yue'er had no other problems. My mother-in-law invited the goddess to come and see her, and said that the child was frightened and had fallen into evil spirits, so I brought her to the temple. I've also come to Guanyin Niangniang to see it before, and it's okay when I get here. ”

"It's not that Guanyin Niangniang has seen that it's okay, but because the incense in this side hall has the effect of calming the nerves. Children are small, and inhaling a little bit will produce symptoms of drowsiness. ”

"It's quiet when I get home."

"That's because the person who hurt her didn't do it again." Yan Su asked Yue'er's small sleeves and gently rolled them up: "As Yue'er's mother, have you ever carefully checked Yue'er's body?" ”

"These are ......," the woman said, staring at the strange-looking spots on her daughter's arm: "Was it bitten by bugs?" ”

"It's not a bug, it's a bug." Yan Suwen took out a silver needle from the medicine box: "Of course, it's not exactly the same as the one I hold in my hand, but it's indeed a needle, the kind of tiny needle that female celebrities are used to." Because the tip of the needle is small, it will not be too obvious when it is pierced on the child's body, but the needle hole will turn red. The child is crying, not because he is frightened, but because it hurts. ”

"Needle...... Pinpricks? The woman's face turned pale.

"I have some powder here, and I will apply it to my children when I get home. Medicinal powder can relieve pain and reduce swelling, but there is no way to protect your daughter. The person who can get a needle on Yue'er's body must be a member of the family, and it is a very close relative. You are Yue'er's mother, who is the person who hurt Yue'er, you should also know in your heart. If you don't believe it, when you go home, pretend to be the same as before, check carefully, and that person will definitely do it again. ”

"Mother...... How is that possible? Even if she doesn't like it anymore, Yue'er is also her own granddaughter. The woman put her arms around her.

"Being a mother is just now, although these four words are quite jerks, but a weak child like this, except for his own mother, there is indeed no one else to protect. Take good care of her, and if you need it in the future, you can take this to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find me. ”

Yan Suwen took off a string of ornaments on her body and handed it to her. On the accessories, there is a symbol of the Prime Minister's House, as long as the woman takes this to the Prime Minister's House, she can be found. However, Yan Suwen didn't want her to come to her, because it meant that the problems in the woman's family could not be solved by the woman and her husband.

"Prime Minister?"

"Our young lady is Gu Xiangye's wife and the hostess of the Xiangfu."

"Madame!" The woman quickly knelt on the ground with the child in her arms.

"Hurry up and hold the baby." Yan Su asked the woman and the child to help them up from the ground: "It's not too early, let's go back quickly." When you get home, put the powder on the child, accompany her well, and she will get better. ”

The woman hugged the child and thanked her for leaving, but Yan Suwen did not stop, and went directly to the side hall with the small medicine box.

"Madame, you are here!"

"Where's Xiangye?"

"The emperor urgently summoned and went to the palace."

"Where's Concubine Jing?"

"There's lying there." Gu Yunfei pointed to the coffin.

"Let's move out first."

"Move out?"

"Your father-in-law asked me to conduct an autopsy to find out the real cause of Concubine Jing's death. She was lying in the coffin, how could I test it. Also, let's get these masters out for now. Sanskrit sounds good, but it is not suitable for the soundtrack of the post-mortem. ”

"Okay, follow Madame's orders." Gu Yunfei generally beckoned people to remove Concubine Jing from the coffin, and invited the monks who were still chanting the scriptures just now. The royal affairs are not something that they monks can ask about, and there is no need for Gu Yunfei to say more, the monks lowered their heads and went out one by one.

Concubine Jing lay quietly, and the once vivid concubine turned into a quiet corpse. Her facial features were still good-looking, but her face was a little paler, and the powder on her face had all floated up because she had been in the coffin for too long. She wore a palace dress made of concubines, and the exquisite embroidery on the palace dress shone in the lamps and candles in the side hall.

"Didn't everyone in this palace say that Concubine Jing was hanged by herself? This died by himself, what real cause of death did Xiangye ask his wife to test? ”

"Haning, also known as hanging. Due to the different environments, different tools used, and different heights, the hanged person will have different performance, and the general hanging, and the death mechanism is mechanical asphyxiation. ”

"Mechanical asphyxia, what is this?"

"To put it simply, after the deceased dies, there will be obvious bruises on the lips, cheeks, ears, nail beds, hands and feet, and low-hanging parts. In addition, the skin of the deceased's face and the conjunctiva of the eye will have spotted bleeding. The corpse spots on the deceased will be more noticeable and appear earlier than the average dead corpse. However, there are special circumstances, such as death caused by a tear in the spine and spinal cord caused by hanging, or death due to inhibition of the vagus nerve reflex, and there are no obvious signs of asphyxia. ”

"Madame's subordinates don't understand all of what Madame said, so the subordinates want to ask Madame, does Concubine Jing have these symptoms that Madame said?"

"Yes, but it's not suicide, you look at the strangulation marks on Concubine Jing's neck."

"Don't all hanged people have this?"

"Yes, but there are two strangulation marks on Concubine Jing's neck."

"Two?"

"This is indeed the outermost thing that was formed after hanging, and it is also the real cause of her death. There is another one under this thick strangulation mark, you see, here, although the murderer is very secretive, there are always some traces to be found. The murderer should have taken out the murder weapon when Concubine Jing was not paying attention, suddenly strangled Concubine Jing's neck, and after she was suffocated and unconscious, he hung her on the beam of the room, making the illusion of suicide. ”

"Kill people in the emperor's harem, and kill the emperor's favorite concubine?"

"Isn't it strange? Isn't it the most common thing to kill people in this palace? Yan Suwen gently raised Concubine Jing's hand: "People, even if they want to die, will make a subconscious stress reaction at the moment when they face death. Concubine Jing's nails were long and sharp, and although they were trimmed afterwards, there was still something left in them. ”

"It's—"

"The fiber of the garment, which is what we often call the thread. Look, isn't this color familiar? ”

"This seems to be the kind of clothes worn by the palace attendants."

"It's worn by the fathers-in-law, and it's not an ordinary father-in-law, you look at the fiber, smooth and delicate, and it's a good fabric at a glance."

Gu Yunfei was following Gu Changfeng in the end, he had heard a lot about things in and out of the palace, and he had seen a lot, staring at the fiber at this time, and fell into deep thought. After a while, he asked Yan Su and asked, "Do we still want to continue to investigate this matter?" ”

"No need." Yan Suwen pinched the fiber to the candle and threw the fiber in. The flames flickered, and the fibers were quickly gone.

"Concubine Jing hanged herself, everyone in and outside the palace knows it, and we just confirmed it."

But Madame just said...... Subordinates understood! ”

"No matter how the emperor treats Concubine Jing in private, on the surface, she is the emperor's favorite concubine, and her status in the palace can be said to be second only to the queen. Concubine Jing hanged herself, and the emperor passed so lightly, even the queen never came forward to ask. You say, was Concubine Jing's death an accident or deliberate? ”

"A companion is like a tiger, it's really a companion like a tiger." Gu Yunfei shook his head: "Fortunately, I am a small official, and I can't see the emperor on weekdays, and my head is still resting on my neck." ”

"Invite Concubine Jing back, and after spending seven seven and forty-nine days, you can be buried in peace. In this life, she can't help herself, and in the next life, she hopes to be a free ordinary person. ”

"Shall we still investigate the matter of Huanyan?"

"Check? No matter how you check, everyone is dead. Yan Su asked and pointed at Concubine Jing: "Can you ask the ghosts and gods, or can I ask the ghosts and gods?" Don't say that Concubine Jing is dead, this dead person can't open her mouth and can't speak, even if she is still alive, we can't find out anything. A woman can give up herself to enter the palace, can give up herself to please the emperor, can give up her willingness to take Huanyan, and even a beautiful tongue, do you think such a woman will betray her master for herself? ”

"Tut, in this world, who is more pleasing to a woman than the emperor?"

"Naturally, there are, and there are many." Yan Su asked to pack up her things: "There are women all over the world who like glory and wealth, but there are few who like to enter the palace." As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, how can you stay comfortable outside. ”

"Yes, for example, it's good to marry our father."

"It's his blessing to be able to marry me." Yan Suwen turned around with a small medicine box, but his head hit a wall of flesh. When he looked up, he saw Gu Changfeng's face, and subconsciously took half a step back.

"Be careful!" Gu Changfeng hugged her waist.

"You're back?"

"I'm back."

"When did you come back?"

"Just when Madame just said that it was my blessing to be able to marry Madame."

"Hee-hee." Yan Suwen pulled her hair in embarrassment: "Actually, there is another sentence, you didn't hear Yan Qing." ”

"And one more sentence...... What the? ”

"It's also my blessing to be able to marry you."

"Madame is telling the truth?"

"Naturally, it's sincere." Seeing that Gu Changfeng was still staring at him, in a hurry, Yan Su asked again: "Or, you touch it!" ”

Not far away, Gu Yunfei quietly covered his face, then cleared his throat and said, "Master, madam, this is the Buddhist hall of the royal temple, besides, Concubine Jing is still lying here." Why don't we change places? ”

"Gu Yunfei, what do you want! That's not what Mrs. Ben meant. Yan Qing, you don't think so, do you? Yan Suwen reprimanded Gu Yunfei, blushed, and got into Gu Changfeng's arms: "Your subordinate is really annoying, why don't you change it?" ”
