"Such a large amount of bleeding, I remember seeing it some time ago." Chen Ying raised her hand and covered Mingxin's face with a white cloth.

The autopsy was completed and no fatal injuries were found, but homicide cannot be ruled out.

After all, there are so many ways to kill people in this world, and the invasion of external forces is only one of them.

Pei Shu looked up at her, and a trace of doubt sank in his clear pupils.

"Which case are you talking about?" He asked, took two steps forward, and opened the door of the mortuary for Chen Ying.

The thin twilight swept into the eaves, the bluestone road was frosted, and a few hibiscus trees were planted on both sides of the road, and now the residual leaves have withered, and there are frost traces on the dead branches.

Chen Ying stepped out of the threshold and turned onto the stone path facing east, and her clear and cold voice seemed to be stained with autumn morning dew: "It's the poisoning case of the lord of Xiangshan County." At that time, the lord of Xiangshan County was also bleeding heavily, and at first we all thought it was geranium, but later after being verified by the masters, we knew that someone was poisoning. The poisoner has not yet been identified. ”

After a pause, she added: "If you can, you can also ask that master for help in this case, he is a subordinate of the East Palace, called Guan Yao, you may also know him." Besides, we should probably ask the eldest princess as well. I guess she might have found something. ”

Otherwise, it would not have died overnight.

Chen Ying continued the rest of her words in her heart, raised her head, and looked at the eastern sky.

The morning fog is gradually dispersing, and under the duck shell blue sky, a corner of blue-gray clouds is pressing, covering half of the red sun.

"The sun is rising." She turned her head to look at the morgue behind her.

The gray-white stone house is plain and simple, even if the morning sun shines, it can't wash away the gloom in its bones.

Chen Ying was in a trance for a moment.

But I don't know, at the moment of death, what was Mingxin thinking?

Did she ever think that she would die in a strange, rotting place, surrounded by no loved ones, and at the end of her life, she wouldn't even have a chance to leave a last word?

If so, what would she want to say?

What she didn't want? Or is it an unformed fetus in the womb? Or is it a nostalgia for this earthly world? Or will she tell the truth about something?

All of this became an eternal mystery with the demise of her life.

Chen Ying sighed silently, unable to tell what it was like in her heart.

Frankly, she didn't like this ambitious woman, and she didn't agree with what she did.

However, it was a young, fresh life. Passing away suddenly is always emotional.

Chen Ying still remembers that last autumn, she went to the house to deliver letters, wearing a bright red dress, and she was full of spirit, as if she held everything in her hands.

At that time, how did they know that it was the last time they met?

Life is great, it gives birth to civilization, vitality and hope to the planet.

However, there are times when you clearly know that life is very humble.

Humble enough to turn around, the deceased is gone.

Pei Shu half-tilted his head sideways and looked at Chen Ying.

For the first time, he discovered that there was actually an emotion in those clear, always calm eyes.

It's just a little bit.

But he could tell that she wasn't feeling well.

He walked up to her, gently tugged at her sleeve, and looked down at her.

"I'm here." The low and soft voice, such as the temper of the fire after years of brewing, will evaporate and diffuse, teaching people to be slightly drunk.

Chen Ying looked back at him, said "um", put his hand into his palm, wrapped it by the big hand, and said in a very firm tone: "I know." ”

Yes, she knows.

As he knew, what it all meant.

Mingxin's death is certainly sad, but what is behind it is by no means simple.

Mingxin and Guo Wan, Guo Wan and Xiangyun Zhai, Xiangyun Zhai and Chen Ying, Chen Ying and the various industries or undertakings at hand.

It's a clear line of relationships.

Once something goes wrong at one point, no one is immune.

"Do I need to go to His Majesty right now to defend myself?" Chen Ying asked.

She received the order to "enter the palace as soon as possible to investigate the case", and then she was taken to the imperial city mortuary, and there was no other will.

At present, it seems that Emperor Yuan Jia has no intention of summoning her alone.

Still, she made some preparations in advance and brought a few annual financial statements.

Pei Shu had previously handed her a message, mentioning the problem of the flow of funds in Xiangyunzhai, and she was also taking precautions.

Pei Shu smiled at her, and when he saw that there was no one around, he raised his hand and touched her sideburns.

This was when he "touched his head to show comfort", and then said softly: "Since Your Majesty has no will, you don't have to go." ”

Chen Ying hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "That's the same." But ......"

She looked at him, and there was a little worry flowing in her clear watery eyes: "Your Majesty will already count the matter of you delivering me the news?" ”

Emperor Yuan Jia couldn't be more shrewd, Chen Ying didn't believe that Pei Shu could hide it from him.

She was a little worried about Pei Shu.

When Pei Shu heard this, the corners of his mouth tilted to the side again.

It was a foul laugh, just like his usual smile.

He flicked his finger at the hilt of his sword and said disappreciatively, "It's okay." If Your Majesty does not know, then everything is not to be mentioned; If Your Majesty knows about this but does not stop me, and does not let anyone stare at me, then it shows that in Your Majesty's heart, you are a trustworthy person, and it is okay for me to give you some news. ”

He suddenly raised his hand, and his long and powerful fingertips brushed her sideburns again, and let go with a touch, and said with a smile: "You have spared no effort in the case of King Kang, and have helped me, His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Majesty to solve major cases many times, and have also found out many important clues. ”

Chen Ying was persuaded by him.

Indeed, everything she has done before has already made her position clear, with Emperor Yuan Jiadi's pragmatic nature, he will only look at what people do, and as for what he says verbally, he may not believe it.

Then the two men walked another quiet road.

The morning light is faint, a layer of pale gold, when shining on the body, they can not feel the slightest warmth, they slowly walked out of the door of the mortuary, and suddenly the eyes were wide, even the sky was decaying grass, the sky was blue, and the straight palace road paved with white stone extended forward, like a white line thrown into the distance, gradually fading and fading, and finally was not gone by the weeds.

"This place is a bit desolate, and in the end it is also a place to put corpses, and Ah Ying is not used to it for the first time." Pei Shu explained.

Although it is still in the imperial city, this area is extremely secluded, the surroundings are silent, and even the birdsong has never been heard.

"It's okay, I think this place is very good, there are idle people, etc., and it is very quiet, and it is very convenient to talk." Chen Ying smiled.

Such a wide space is indeed suitable for chatting, especially for talking about matters related to the case.
