So after Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi hurriedly engaged in their wedding clothes, they hurried to the palace.

The bodies of the five princes were still lying on death row, there was no blood on the ground, and Chang Yi and Liu Congwen both stood there with solemn expressions.

"It was fine when the jailer delivered the food in the morning, but the jailer informed me that he was dead not long ago." Chang Yi's voice was as cold as ice.

Although the five princes committed a capital crime, but he was a chess piece used by others, they originally wanted to wait for the emperor to recover and return to the palace when the time came, and find a way to let the five princes involve Chang Wen in this, but who could have the heart, it was only a few days, and he died.

Because he was worried that Chang Wen would attack him, Chang Yi arranged his own people on death row, and even the meals he usually sent would be inspected before they were given to the five princes, but even if he was so careful, he didn't prevent Chang Wen.

Lu Qingyi squatted down and examined the fifth prince before saying, "The preliminary diagnosis of the fifth prince was suicide, and he strangled himself to death."

"How could you possibly strangle yourself?" Shen Xi felt very unbelievable about this, she stared at the fifth prince for a long time, and then looked at the long strip of cloth next to her.

"So we have to dig deeper." Lu Qingyi sighed again, as soon as the five princes died, all the clues in their favor disappeared.

Shen Xi also squatted down and carefully examined it, the fifth prince's eyes were sunken, his lips were slightly purple, and his body, which was originally quite strong, now looked skinny, not to mention that he was on death row, and the food he ate was no different from usual, even if he ate poorly, he would not be so thin, only bones remained.

The appearance of the five princes reminded Shen Xi of people who smoke big cigarettes, and they are also in this state after they become addicted.

But in the Chu State, she had never heard of this kind of thing, and how did the five princes come into contact with this kind of thing?

"Does the second prince come every day?" Shen Xi got up, his eyebrows were deep, the only thing that is possible now is that Chang Wen used an addictive thing like big smoke to control the five princes, so he would let the five princes defend him even if he died.

"I heard from the jailer that he came every day, but he didn't stay long." Chang Yi looked at Shen Xi and said, "Did you think of something?"

"It's just speculation now, and I can't confirm it, I just think that the fifth prince is too thin." Shen Xi said and looked at the five princes on the ground again, maybe he didn't know until he died, things like big smoke would make people hallucinate, and then he could kill himself with a casual hypnosis.

The fifth prince was originally a smart person, but he was used by Chang Wen and ended up in such a miserable end, Concubine Yun would not have thought that she would die and not save the five princes.

"Is there something similar to big smoke in the state of Chu? It's something that can be addictive and hallucinating. Shen Xi frowned slightly, turned his head and asked Lu Qingyi, after all, he is a businessman, and he should know a little about these.

"There was a time in the Chu State where someone operated big cigarettes, but later because there were many people addicted to it, the emperor had already ordered that no one was allowed to sell this kind of thing, and I really haven't seen anyone sell it again over the years, could it be that the second prince is still smuggling and selling contraband?" Thinking about it, Lu Qingyi only felt that something was getting more and more wrong, the emperor had already ordered again that no one was allowed to sell such harmful things, and he still remembered that many businessmen were fined huge sums of money that year. Let's look for books

So from now on, even if the profit of the big tobacco is high, no one dares to sell it anymore, and I have never heard of anyone selling this kind of thing in private, the origin of the big tobacco comes from the Western Regions, and the border with the Zhou State is a very desolate place.

At first, the people there used it to treat diseases and relieve pain, but later, for some reason, some people took advantage of this trend to spread the smoke to the Chu State, and harmed many people of the Chu State.

At that time, the emperor made a lot of efforts to make the big tobacco completely disappear in the Chu State, and even promulgated several laws in a row, and the person who sold the big cigarette was punished with death, and the person who smoked the big cigarette was imprisoned for three years.

If Chang Wen really smuggled the big smoke, he would be able to put him to death if he found evidence, but since he dared to use the big smoke to kill the five princes, it proved that it was more difficult to investigate this matter than to ascend to the sky.

They are in the capital, and there are many places outside the capital, and none of them knows which one Chang Wen smuggled.

As soon as they came out of the palace, Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi went to the temple and informed the emperor of the matter, and also informed the emperor of the big smoke, after all, the emperor is also unfathomable, in case he already knows something about this matter, it is not necessarily.

But the emperor obviously didn't know anything about Chang Wen's smuggling of big cigarettes, and his brows were furrowed deeply, "How many soldiers and ministers died in order to completely destroy the big cigarettes, and now that the big smoke is coming out again, I'm afraid that things are far from being that simple, are you sure that the fifth child died of smoking big cigarettes?" ”

The emperor seems to be much more energetic than before, these days he doesn't care about anything in the temple, only focuses on recuperation, so his body is better than before.

"Xiao Sheng examined the corpse of the fifth prince, and it did take a lot of smoke to give him the illusion that he strangled himself to death." Lu Qingyi lowered his head and said softly.

"You quickly find out where this big smoke came from, and I want to know how bold Chang Wen is." The emperor was already furious, he had only been in the temple for half a month, and so many things had happened, even if he was the emperor, he was deeply frightened by this.

This royal feud will never stop, and the royal brothers seem to have only one way to go, cannibalism.

"Forget it, early tomorrow morning, you ask Liu Congwen to take me into the palace, I will personally solve this matter, and the body of the fifth child will be put first, even if he has made a big mistake, he is also my son, I have to see him with my own eyes." When the emperor said this, his voice trembled slightly, after all, it was his own flesh and blood, he didn't love or hate, and he was also a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.

Shen Xi looked at the emperor whose hair was gradually turning gray and getting older, and he also sighed slightly in his heart, he was a god in the mouths of the people in the world, and he was also a piece of heaven in the Chu country, but he was also the father of a son, the fifth prince died, he was somewhat sad, and the emperor also had the difficulties of the emperor.

Coming out of the temple, it was already dark, Shen Xi didn't go to the bookstore, but went back to Lu Mansion directly with Lu Qingyi, the two of them were rarely able to have dinner together today, a few days ago, Lu Qingyi was so busy that he ate a little bit outside, and when he came back, Shen Xi had already rested.

"I heard you've been in a lot of trouble these days?" Lu Qingyi looked at Shen Xi slightly, and finally opened his mouth.

Shen Xi was eating, and when she heard Lu Qingyi ask like this, she was slightly stunned, and then pretended to say softly: "What trouble can I encounter, who are you listening to nonsense."

"Don't contact Roland again in the future, she is not a simple person, and you can't fight her." Lu Qingyi immediately served Shen Xi another dish.
