Chapter 188: Lin Zhaoyi's Death
Jiang Liuli is taking care of the children at home, while secretly dealing with the affairs of the Shadow Demon Sect, and has recently made a lot of stumbling blocks for Lou Qingyang, he has already jumped like thunder, dealing with Su Yunyi on the one hand, and Liuli Palace on the other, although the Shadow Demon Sect is strong, but it is still a little difficult to deal with the two sects at once, and in desperation, he can only give up half of the plan that has been implemented and start self-cultivation.
The rivers and lakes have temporarily returned to calm, but the crisis has not been resolved, the leader of the Su League is still unconscious, and Su Yuntian is still missing.
Lan Tingxuan didn't know anything about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so he didn't know about this, at this time, he just wanted to do his job well, and other things had nothing to do with him, but an incident in the palace completely disrupted his peaceful life.
Early in the morning, he came to the Tai Hospital to take out the medicinal herbs to bask in the sun, although he had a mild temper, but in the Tai Hospital, his popularity was not very good, and every Tai Doctor respected him, as if he was deliberately isolating him.
He was in the palace, because of his good medical skills and good temper, so many concubines named him to see a doctor, and such preferential treatment made the imperial doctors jealous, so he was isolated, but he himself didn't know at all.
If it is someone else, he will definitely feel wronged, but he usually has few words, no one comes to disturb, but it is in line with his heart, just take a good look at the books in the hospital, the books in the palace, but they are very precious, there are many he has not read, so when he is fine, he will hold the book and hide to the side to read, and he will not be close to those doctors at all, over time, other doctors treat him as a transparent person, and when they see him, they don't even say hello, only then do they find that they seem to be unpopular.
After placing the medicine, he sat in the corner again with the medical book, because the location was relatively remote, and if he didn't pay attention, it would be difficult for anyone to find out.
"Did you hear that? Lin Zhaoyi hanged herself last night. When Lan Tingxuan was in a trance, he suddenly heard someone not far away talking about the harem, and the voice seemed to be a little medicine boy who had just entered the palace.
If it is usual, he will definitely ignore it, he has been in the palace for so long, and he has been angry about the dead from the beginning, to now he is accustomed to it, and he will take care of it when he encounters injustices in the past, but in the palace, seeing those high-ranking people despise human life so much, he has already learned to be indifferent, this is the palace, not a smoke-free city, and he can't manage it if he wants to, and he will lose his life if he doesn't get it.
Now that he has a wife and a daughter, he can't ignore his life because of a temporary grievance, and he has to keep this life to take good care of their mother and daughter.
"Why?" The other asked curiously.
"I heard that I was pregnant by fornication with someone, and I was discovered by the palace maid, and I was afraid of implicating my family, so I chose to hang myself." The little medicine boy looked around and found no one else, so he whispered.
Lan Tingxuan was very close to them, so he heard it in a whisper, originally he didn't plan to eavesdrop, but now it was a little inappropriate to go out, so he could only continue to stay there.
"Really, tsk, Lin Zhaoyi can't bear to be lonely." Another person said in a loud voice, in this palace, anything can happen, but there are few people who dare to cuckold the emperor.
"Who says it's not, it is said that Lin Zhaoyi has been having an affair with that person for half a year, and she has been pregnant for more than three months." The little medicine boy seemed to know a lot, and he actually said the Tao.
"I haven't been found for so long, it seems that I am very unfavorable." The other sighed helplessly, in this palace, there is no shortage of beauties, favored and favored by the emperor, and those who are not favored can only die alone.
Lan Tingxuan listened to their conversation, and the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, he knew Lin Zhaoyi, and it was still the pulse he diagnosed for her, she was obviously pregnant for five months, how could it be that she only had three months? Is there some conspiracy in this? Accustomed to seeing the intrigue in the palace, he always felt that this matter was not so simple.
During his contemplation, the two behind him had finished discussing and went to do their own things, he closed the medical book and decided to inform the emperor of this matter, Lin Zhaoyi is dead, and she can no longer be burdened with such a crime, otherwise there will be no place to bury, so she can only be a lonely ghost, and the fetus in her womb will not be recognized by anyone.
Although he has become a little cold now, he is not ruthless to the point where he doesn't even care about children, even if he offends others because of this matter, he has to do something for Lin Zhaoyi.
After deciding, he went straight to the imperial study, the emperor was discussing with the ministers, and he could only wait outside the door for a while, until the ministers came out of the imperial study one after another, and he walked in.
"Ting Xuan, what are you looking for?" Xing Tianqi asked while reviewing the folds.
"Your Majesty, the minister is here for Lin Zhaoyi's business." He didn't beat around the bush and directly said the purpose of his coming here, Xing Tianqi was so busy that he didn't have time to listen to his nonsense.
Xing Tianqi listened to his words, and his hand suddenly stopped, he had obviously blocked the news, why was there still someone talking about it? It seems that if these people who chew the root of their tongues are not severely punished, his face will be lost.
"What are you going to say?" He put down the fold and looked at him coldly, this matter is over, what else is he doing when he mentions it?
"In March, the minister had diagnosed Lin Zhaoyi's pulse, and Lin Zhaoyi already had a happy pulse at that time, but Lin Zhaoyi didn't let the minister say it, and the minister thought that Lin Zhaoyi was going to tell the emperor about it in person, so he didn't tell you, I heard others say today that Lin Zhaoyi was pregnant for more than three months, and the minister felt that the time was wrong, so he came to inform the emperor." Lan Tingxuan replied truthfully, if Lin Zhaoyi's death was really a conspiracy, then the person who killed her might have come for the dragon heir in her stomach, in this case, it would be a big problem.
"Lin Zhaoyi was pregnant three months ago?" Xing Tianqi looked at him in shock, if what he said was true, then Lin Zhaoyi was already pregnant for more than five months, and he often called her to sleep at that time, so the child in her womb was most likely his, and she naturally did not hang herself.
"Everything the minister said is true." Lan Tingxuan said firmly, he remembered this matter very clearly, and there would never be a mistake, he still remembered that Lin Zhaoyi was mixed with joy and worry when he knew that he was pregnant.
However, what he remembered vividly was that between her eyebrows was somewhat similar to Jiang Liuli, but there was tenderness between her eyebrows, but there was a bit of indifference and laziness between Jiang Liuli's eyebrows.
Xing Tianqi frowned, if this matter is true, then Lin Zhaoyi's death is not so simple, but who wants her to die? Even he didn't know that she was pregnant, and it was even more impossible for others to know.
Lin Zhaoyi is happy, in addition to saying hello to the queen every day, he returns to his dormitory, and stays all day, he also likes her quiet and elegant atmosphere, and that is a little similar to Jiang Liuli's appearance, so he will spoil her for a while.
Until one day three months ago, he turned over Lin Zhaoyi's sign, but was told that she was unwell, at first he thought her body was really unwell, and went to see her a few times, but she never let him touch it, once she got close to her, she retreated like a frightened bird, because of her refusal, she no longer went to her dormitory.
It was precisely because of this that he would believe in her fornication, and only in this way would he refuse his touch, and he felt that he had been greatly humiliated, so he determined her charges without even checking it.
Now after listening to Lan Tingxuan's words, she realized that she was not because she had a favorite person, but because she was pregnant and was afraid that he would find out when he approached, so she rejected him so much.
But what he didn't understand was why she was hiding that she was pregnant. What exactly is she doing this for? Or are you fearing whom? It seems that this matter is not as simple as it seems.
"Ting Xuan, I want you to find out the real cause of Lin Zhaoyi's death, if possible, it is best to find out the murderer as well." Xing Tianqi didn't want to think about anything else, he just wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible, if Lin Zhaoyi was really killed, then the child in her womb was his, and if he dared to kill the dragon heir, he would never spare it.
"Your Majesty, the minister is just a small doctor, and he doesn't understand anything about investigating cases." Lan Tingxuan didn't expect the emperor to let him investigate the case, he didn't know anything about this kind of thing.
"I will let Fenghai investigate the case with you, and now, the only people I can trust are the two of you." Xing Tianqi looked at him with a serious face, in the huge palace, he didn't even have a trusted person, this emperor did a really sad job.
The imperial doctor could clearly see that Lin Zhaoyi was a few months pregnant, but he didn't tell the truth, there must be a noble person behind him threatening him, otherwise he wouldn't dare to lie, based on this alone, no one would dare to take this case, even if he did, he would not dare to tell the truth completely because of the main messenger behind the scenes, and then find a scapegoat to settle the case hastily, what he wanted was not such a result.
Lan Tingxuan looked at him with an embarrassed face, he was naturally very happy to be able to gain the emperor's trust, but he really didn't understand anything about the investigation of the case, how did he start with this?
"Don't worry, Feng Hai still has a good set of investigating cases, you can follow him to investigate the case, he knows reconnaissance, you know medical skills, it should not be difficult to find out the real cause of Lin Zhaoyi's death." Although the doctor and the servant are two completely different jobs, he believes that with his meticulousness, he will be able to find out the details that the servant has overlooked.
"Commandment." Lan Tingxuan replied helplessly, Xing Tianqi's words had already been said to this, and there was no way to refuse, he was the emperor, and no one dared to refuse what he said again and again.
"Now you can go and take a look at Lin Zhaoyi's body." He looked at the sky outside, it was still early, and asked them to act immediately, although the weather was getting cooler, it was still a little hot, and the body could not be stored for long.
"Yes." He had never encountered a murder, so he took this errand so stupidly, without thinking about the consequences at all, and never thought that the consequences would be so serious, of course, he didn't know how serious it was.
Xing Tianqi summoned An Fenghai and asked the two of them to work together to track down Lin Zhaoyi's affairs, An Fenghai was very happy to receive the order, for him, these things have long been taken for granted.
