999, tiger poison

Miss...... Incense ......" Yuzhu reminded in a low voice.

Xu Shu came back to her senses, handed the incense to the jade bead, inserted it into the incense burner, and the maidservant girl on the side led Xu Shu to see Li Fu's remains.

Although Li Fu committed suicide, her face was not hideous, but showed a strange peace, and there was a clear blue-purple strangulation mark on her neck, which extended to the back of her neck......

The back of the neck?

Xu Shu took a fixed look at it and made sure that he was not mistaken, the traces of the rope stretched all the way to the back of the neck, but when he committed suicide, the rope was from top to bottom, shouldn't it be strangled behind his ears? That mark should extend behind the ear, right?

The strangulation marks extend to the back of the neck, indicating that the rope is from the front to the back, from the front to the back......

This is not suicide! Someone strangled her from behind!

Xu Shu immediately looked at Li Fu's nails, Li Fu's nails were trimmed and smooth, and all ten fingernails were neat and tidy, and none of them had any traces of damage! This further confirms Xu Shu's suspicions.

A person who wants to hang himself, no matter how strong his desire to die is, in the process of gradual suffocation, his limbs will subconsciously twist to relieve the pain of suffocation, and his hands will also subconsciously grasp the rope around his neck, and after vigorous scratching, it is impossible for the nails to remain so smooth and round!

Xu Shu finally understood what caused the strange peace on Li Fu's face, only by being strangled in a coma can he ensure that the strangled person will not resist, and there will not be too many traces of suffocation on his face......

And the only person who can make Li Fu fall asleep without arousing the suspicion of others, and quietly strangle Li Fu and arrange it to commit suicide, should be the only person who has been serving Li Fu closely......

Xu Shu's eyes fell on the maidservant, Li Fu has so many maidservants, there must be a reason why Grandma Li brought her to the mourning hall!

Grandma Li sobbed and said, "Seeing that she looks so peaceful, you know that she is bent on death...... Her death fulfilled her deep affection for the prince, but she completely ignored our mother-daughter relationship! ”

"The relationship between Grandma Li and Miss Afu must be very good!" Xu Shu sniffed lightly, and did not smell the smell of the tear-jerking medicine she gave to Li Fu yesterday on Grandma Li's body, and then looked at the strangulation marks on Grandma Li's face, and finally felt a little more pleasing to the eye.

"Afu is my eldest daughter and my only daughter, she has been close to me since she was a child, even if she later entered the palace to serve the prince, she never broke off contact with me, and she had to write to me every once in a while!" Thinking of the past with her daughter, Grandma Li's tears fell again, "I knew that she was so affectionate to the prince, but I didn't expect the prince to leave, and she actually broke off the idea of living...... If I knew, I'd stop her......"

"Yesterday...... Miss Afu seems to have gone to the prince's mourning hall to cry a lot......" Xu Shu said softly, Grandma Li asked Li Fu to go to the mourning hall of Prince Long An to cry, she really wanted to win the position of the crown princess for Li Fu, but Grandma Li never said that the position was for the living Li Fu......

"Yes......" Grandma Li cried even more, "Why didn't I think of it yesterday?" Why didn't you think she might seek death? I should have stayed with her so that it wouldn't happen...... It's all my fault...... It's all my fault......"

"It's not your fault!" Xu Shu whispered.

"It's my fault, they all blame me, it's me who is not good, I shouldn't feel that people die like lights going out, the prince is dead, and Afu's heart for the prince should be let go......"

"It's really not your fault!"

Xu Shu's voice suddenly became three points heavier, which made Grandma Li's crying pause.

"It's Afu's fault!"

Grandma Li's cry started again, "She's just a child, what can she do wrong, it's me who is wrong, it's me who didn't take care of it, I deserve my white-haired person to send a black-haired person!" ”

"Yes, she's still a child...... "It's still a child, but there are still people who can do this......

"You deserve it!" Xu Shu's face suddenly turned cold.

Grandma Li's cry choked back into her throat and hiccuped uncontrollably, "You...... What did you say? ”

"I said you deserved it! You deserve to send the white-haired person to the black-haired person, it is you who caused this result by yourself! Xu Shu looked at Grandma Li coldly, "Afu shouldn't have been born in the Li family, and shouldn't have been born as your daughter!" ”

"You...... What do you mean? Grandma Li's surprised expression was uncontrollable panic, and she subconsciously glanced at the maid.

"You know better than anyone how Afu died!"

She ...... She killed herself! ”

"Who said that?" Xu Shu asked rhetorically, "Did you invite a servant to check it out?" Or did Afu tell you herself? ”

She ...... She left a suicide note! That's right, a suicide note! Her suicide note said that the prince died, and she was bored alive, so she went with the prince, and she could still be with the prince on the Huangquan Road......"

"Suicide note?" Xu Shu tugged at the corners of her mouth, "The suicide note was sent to the palace as soon as it was discovered, and it was presented to the Empress Dowager, how did you learn the contents of the suicide note?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Grandma Li looked around in panic, but she didn't dare to look in Xu Shu's direction.

"You know the contents of the suicide note so well, did you read what Afu wrote, or did you write this letter for Afu?"

"It's not me! Not me! Grandma Li hurriedly waved her hand, "The suicide note was really written by Afu, and she wrote it......"

Xu Shu closed her eyes, her heart was indifferent, and when she opened her eyes again, even her eyes were covered with frost, "I heard your conversation with Afu yesterday, you instigated Afu to go to the mourning hall to cry, so that everyone present knew Afu's heart for the prince, and then Afu fainted and was helped back, and you didn't show up during the whole process, but after Afu was helped back, you must have gone to her again!" ”

Grandma Li's eyes flickered, and Xu Shu knew that she was right.

"Only crying once, how can it reflect Afu's deep affection for the prince? So you have a trick up your sleeve! If this suicide note is true, then it should be that you asked Ah Fu to write a suicide note, and then pretended to die, and was finally rescued by the maidservant, so that Ah Fu's love for the prince is as deep as the sea! Afu didn't doubt that he did it, but what she didn't expect was that you really wanted to kill her! Tiger venom is still not eating children! Afu is your own daughter, your only daughter! ”

In the end, Xu Shu's voice had a tremor that even she didn't notice, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she couldn't believe it......

"There are still such ruthless people in this world......"
