Chapter 416: Dead Again
The rain had already stopped, but the sky was not clear, and the clouds were like ghosts, pressing the already unclear sky even more gloomy.
The roof of Qixiang Palace is like a dead air, which makes people shudder.
Zhuang Siyan was carrying a palace lamp, her steps were light and fast, and Ping'er shook her head and was left behind by her several steps.
She really didn't want to go inside, but she really didn't worry about Zhuang Siyan, so she carried a little gall and followed her in with her eyes wandering around.
Lan Xin's body has been put back on the bed in the side hall, frozen all night, his body is even stiffer, the red spots on his face are gone, and he has been replaced by black green, and he can no longer find the slightest loveliness in his life, only miserable and terrifying.
Zhuang Siyan was surprised and surrounded her for further examination, but Ping'er was shaking like chaff on the side.
She wanted to hold her legs down, but when she put her hands on them, she found that her hands were shaking more than her legs.
While thinking about Lan Xin's conversation with her yesterday, she saw the unrecognizable corpse in front of her as soon as her eyebrows lowered.
Yesterday's appearance overlapped with today, and the cold sweat on Ping'er's body came out layer by layer, and she really couldn't stand anymore.
And when Zhuang Siyan was fiddling with Lan Xin's body, it seemed that what was lying there was not a dead person, but a piece of wood, without blinking his eyelids.
And she looked at it for a while, as if she was talking to Ping'er, and as if she was talking to herself, she said: "She committed suicide, but it was also someone else who tempted her to commit suicide." ”
Ping'er: "......?" ”
Someone else tempted her to commit suicide?
Who would tempt a palace maid to commit suicide?
She couldn't figure it out, and neither did Zhuang Siyan.
She always felt that there was no one in the palace who could contact Lan Xin, and she really hadn't walked around for a long time.
Because of this, she doesn't suddenly think of death.
And with such a fierce poison, where did she come from?
It is impossible for anyone in the palace to prepare such a thing, it must have come from outside.
Who passed that on to her?
This person must be very powerful, not only can he pass things in, but he can also let Lan Xin eat it smoothly, and he eats so willingly.
There is another question: the dealer has fallen, and no one is doing those messy things outside, so who else wants Lan Xin to die?
Does she have some other people's handle in her hands, or does she know some secret things, which can't be said, and others have to kill people and kill people?
Zhuang Siyan's mind quickly flashed various thoughts, and at the same time, he opened the hand that Lan Xin was holding.
It's been too long, the stiffness of the corpse is unimaginable, and it's not so easy to open the hand of a frozen dead man.
When Zhuang Siyan broke Lan Xin's hand hard, Ping'er couldn't stand it anymore, and collapsed to the ground as soon as her legs were weak.
Zhuang Siyan looked back at her, her eyes were a little inexplicable, and finally she said as if she remembered something: "It's okay, I'm just going to see what she has in her hand?" Don't sit on the ground, it's cold, get up and wait for me at the door. ”
Ping'er crawled for a long time before she got up from the ground, barely holding on to a table.
Probably because she was so scared and trembling too hard, she actually shook the table down.
After hearing the sound of "bang", the legs of the table were broken together, and the table top smashed directly to the ground, but fortunately it smashed into Ping'er's feet.
She couldn't control her fear anymore, "Ahhhh
Zhuang Siyan turned his head, shook his head helplessly, and then turned his gaze to the table.
Her gaze quickly focused on the table.
This table has been placed in the side hall, Zhuang Siyan was there when they lived here before, and later Jia Xian also lived here.
Probably she didn't care about everything here, so the furniture inside didn't change much.
But at this moment, the table fell to the ground, and the fault of the table board suddenly cracked, revealing a few pieces of paper from it, and there was powder on them.
Zhuang Siyan immediately put away the powder with something, wrapped it in new paper, and then went to check the table again.
The fault was made a long time ago, and I don't know if it was when they lived here or when Jia Xian was there, so the things stored in it have been stored for a long time.
It is likely that Lan Xin's poison was obtained from here.
So who hid the poison here? Herself?
There are too many questions, but it's a pity that Lan Xin will never reply to her again.
After the guards at the door saw the frightened Ping'er, they broke into the palace because they were worried about Zhuang Siyan's safety, and Zhuang Siyan had already walked out of the side hall.
By this time, the sky was already bright, and the cold was even stronger.
The clouds that fell in the distance made the originally bright sky as if it had been soaked in ink, which was very depressing.
The guards were relieved to see her come out safely, and a leader stepped forward to speak: "Niangniang just had an accident here, you better not come here." ”
Zhuang Siyan: "I came because of the accident, have you seen me come before?" ”
Guard: "......"
He couldn't keep up with the mother's brain circuit, and he didn't know how to answer next.
Zhuang Siyan didn't wait for him to answer, he had already left the palace gate and walked in the direction of Tai Hospital.
Cai Zhouping had just arrived at the Tai Hospital, he ate a burrito for breakfast, drank bean juice, and didn't know which one was wrong, which made him feel uncomfortable at this time.
Looking around, I wanted to find a corner where no one was there to sit for a while, take a breath, and finally found a stool by the fire, just sat on it, my butt was not warm, and I saw Zhuang Siyan come in.
He immediately understood what the thing that was blocked in his heart was.
It's not a burrito, it's not bean juice, it's the lady in front of you.
He didn't participate in the autopsy last night, but he had already heard from the people in the hospital.
The death of a palace maid is not a big deal, let alone suicide?
This palace maid is the banker's person, and the banker has no one now, so there is nothing messy involved, and it stands to reason that the case is very close.
But listening to the discussion of colleagues, Concubine Wan Niangniang went, and talked about a bunch of her great achievements, Cai Zhouping felt that this matter would definitely not end like this.
He and Zhuang Siyan have no grudge or hatred, but as long as he thinks of this mother, he is frightened and wants to avoid her.
However, the heavens do not obey people's wishes, and this early in the morning, it was met so narrowly.
Cai Zhouping is also an old fritter, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he refuses to be less polite, and he is busy getting up and saluting.
Before he raised his head, he saw Zhuang Siyan throw a bag of things on the table in front of him: "Imperial Doctor Cai, can you help me see what this is?" ”
Cai Zhouping glanced at the paper bag, opened it carefully, and when his eyes saw the white powder, he immediately stared at it: "Niangniang, you didn't wipe this thing with your hands, right?" ”
Zhuang Siyan: "No, what is it?" ”
Cai Zhouping breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "The poison is the same as what Miss Lan Xin used last night." ”
This result was not surprising at all, it was Zhuang Siyan who thought of it, so she didn't answer the conversation.
On the contrary, Cai Zhouping, the more he looked at this thing, the more uneasy he became, and when he saw that Concubine Wan didn't speak, he tried to ask: "Where did Niangniang get this thing?" ”
Zhuang Siyan's face was straight: "Good question, let's go, I'll take you to have a look." ”
Cai Zhouping immediately wanted to smoke his two big mouths.
What a he is, why is he asking this question? Where did you find it, it's someone else's business, and there's a yarn off with him?
Ever since he knew that the dead palace maid was by Zhuang Siyan's side, he didn't know how glad he was that he didn't get involved in it.
As a result, this Zhuang Xing was destroyed by himself early in the morning.
At this time, Cai Zhouping's face was flat and he could pinch out the water, and he wanted to say that he didn't want to go, but he didn't dare to speak easily.
In the end, I had to pick up the medicine box and follow her to Qixiang Palace.
When they arrived, there was already a bunch of people around the gate of Qixiang Palace, and even Ling Tiancheng was inside.
Zhuang Siyan didn't expect him to go down to court so early, so he went over to greet him and said, "I found some poison in it, so I asked the imperial doctor to see if there was another place to see if there was another one, and it would save people from dying because of it in the future." ”
Ling Tiancheng let out an "um" and reached out to help her gather her clothes: "Then let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
The entire Qixiang Palace has been turned over and over, but it really can't be turned out, and the furniture is not left, and all of it is cleared.
But nothing was found except for the table.
And Lan Xin's body can't stay in the palace all the time.
After noon, the dust settled, Zhuang Siyan did not find anyone who communicated with her, nor did she find out why Lan Xin died, so her body was pulled out and disposed of by the guards outside the palace.
All the objects in the Qixiang Palace were put away, the ones that should be burned were burned, and the ones that should be thrown away, the entire palace was emptied, and the palace gate was also sealed, and no one was allowed to enter again.
Originally, this was the end of the matter, regardless of the reason.
But only one day in between, I heard that someone in Shou'an Palace was also poisoned and died.
Zhuang Siyan asked Ping'er strangely: "What is Shou'an Palace, why haven't I heard of it?" ”
Ping'er was frightened by Lan Xin's incident before, and she hadn't slept well in the past two days, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she seemed to see her in front of her, either before she was alive or after she died.
It was so scary that she was so scared that she didn't dare to close her eyes or sleep, and at this moment both eyes were about to catch up with the panda, with a black eye socket on one side.
Hearing Zhuang Siyan ask her about this, she paused for a long time, and then her brain, which lacked rest, turned around and returned: "It's the residence of the old ladies." ”
"Old lady? Where and how come I never saw them in the palace? Zhuang Siyan asked.
Ping'er replied after a while: "In Shou'an Palace, there is no palace card there, and no people are allowed to enter or exit, the palace gate is closed all year round, and the door is only open for half a day every month, and things are sent in from the internal affairs office." ”
Zhuang Siyan was stunned for a moment.
The concubines of this old emperor are too miserable, right?
The emperor may not have been good to them when he was alive, but when he died, he made them miserable and locked them up in the palace without seeing the light of day, is this different from being in prison?
Originally, Zhuang Siyan wanted to ask Li Concubine about the case, but as soon as the poisoning incident came out, she wanted to go over and take a look.
But before she could get up, Ling Tiancheng stopped her: "Yan'er, you are pregnant now, and that place is too filthy, it is not good for you and the child to go, don't go." ”
Zhuang Siyan: "It's all in the palace, how can it be filthy?" I'm just going to look at it and do nothing else. ”
Ling Tiancheng was tougher this time: "That's not good, I promise you, I'll tell you when there is a result." ”
The ghost believes his words, and even if he can really say it, it doesn't matter.
From his attitude, Zhuang Siyan could feel that the place would not be as simple as he said.
