Chapter 060: The True Cause of Death
"Ah————h
Bai Zhenzhen put aside the wooden chopsticks in her hand, and then stretched out her hand and pointed tremblingly in the direction of the door.
His tongue seemed to be knotted, and he stared at a pair of big eyes and stammered, "That'...... What is that. ”
Ye Yushen suddenly heard Bai Zhenzhen's scream, and was startled, but accidentally knocked over the porcelain bowl on the table to the ground.
The porcelain bowl made a crisp sound when it fell to the ground, which made Bai Zhenzhen's body tremble. Grabbed Ye Yushen's sleeve, obviously frightened.
Ye Yushen first comforted her, and then tilted his head to look in the direction of Bai Zhenzhen's screaming. As a result, I almost didn't vomit out all the food I had just eaten.
Not far away, in a pavilion facing the prince's dormitory, the body of a man hung in the center of the pavilion, his neck was hanging, his face was bruised, and his long tongue was sticking out. Staring at a pair of eyes, it looked terrifying.
After Ye Yushen saw it clearly, he hurriedly patted the case and got up, obviously unable to believe what he saw in his eyes, and said loudly: "How can there be a corpse in this prince's palace!" ”
Ye Yugui also saw this terrifying scene at this time, and he lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he said: "Brother Huang, this kind of unsightly thing can't be let the crown princess continue to look at it." ”
Ye Yushen himself was also the first time to see this hanged person, although he didn't show any fear on his face, he still couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart. He is a big man, not to mention Bai Zhenzhen, who is pregnant.
So after listening to Ye Yugui's words, he hurriedly comforted Bai Zhenzhen and then asked her to go to the inner room to rest first.
Bai Zhenzhen left the table with a pale face with a big belly under Ye Yushen's support. During this period, he kept tugging on his sleeve and refused to let go.
After stabilizing Bai Zhenzhen, Ye Yushen hurriedly ran to the pavilion, and Ye Yugui had been standing here for a while.
Ye Yu Shen didn't talk to him, just looked up at the hanged corpse, this person was thin and weak, and he was not too tall, but his face was swollen due to congestion, and he couldn't see his facial features clearly. But if you look closely, you can still see who it is.
But after seeing this person clearly, Ye Yugui's face turned dark in an instant: "Could this be ......?"
Ye Yugui also frowned and nodded heavily: "Brother Huang is right, it is Xiao Chen." ”
This Xiao Chen was originally an attendant in the Prince's Palace, who had been by Ye Yushen's side since he was a child, and was basically equivalent to half a relative. But a few days ago, he accidentally collided with Ye Yuxuan in the Imperial Garden, so Ye Yushen transferred him to the kitchen for his good, thinking that he would call back after Ye Yuxuan forgot about it.
But now, how could this good man hang himself in this pavilion facing the prince's palace.
Ye Yushen's expression was sad, looking at Xiao Chen, who was already unrecognizable, thinking about the reason for his thoughts.
But no matter how he thought about it, Ye Yushen still couldn't think of any reason why Xiao Chen would seek death, although he was transferred to the heavily fortified kitchen these days, it was only an easy errand assigned to him.
Just as Ye Yushen was thinking about it on the side, Ye Yugui reminded: "Brother Huang, there are many people in this palace, you have to bury him quickly, otherwise it will be unfortunate if he is not seen by others." ”
Ye Yushen hurriedly called a few cronies, and then hurriedly rescued Xiao Chen from the rope.
During this period, Ye Yugui looked around at the strangulation marks on Xiao Chen's neck, and then carefully checked all parts of his body.
"Brother Huang, what kind of work was this Xiao Chen assigned after he was transferred to the kitchen again?"
Ye Yushen's eyes widened for Xiao Chen and Shang, and then replied: "I asked the palace people in the kitchen to arrange the lightest job for him, and this lightest job is probably washing vegetables." ”
Fang Cai Ye Yugui found a lot of brown-black dirt on Xiao Chen's nails. So he asked again: "Does washing vegetables require clean hands?" ”
Although Ye Yushen doesn't know much about the kitchen, he must have clean hands when washing vegetables, otherwise he will stick to something dirty and eat it in his stomach, so he can only lose his head.
"As I guessed, I don't know if the imperial brother paid careful attention to Xiao Chen's hand just now, there is a thin callus on the palm, which is obviously caused by washing vegetables in the past few months, which can also be seen that Xiao Chen is washing very seriously,"
Ye Yushen nodded, this Xiao Chen is indeed a careful and responsible person, otherwise he would not have let him follow him for so long.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Yugui said: "In all things, Xiao Chen is a very serious and conscientious honest palace man, but Brother Fang saw that there was a dirt similar to black in the nails of his right hand. And working in the kitchen, you will never allow the person who washes the vegetables to have unclean nails.
Ye Yu sank and looked carefully before, but this time after hearing Ye Yugui say this, he hurriedly looked in the direction of Xiao Chen's right hand, and there was indeed a lot of dirt hidden in the right fingernail, but now it looks full of disobedience.
Only one hand has dirt hidden in its fingernails, which is suspicious no matter how you look at it.
Ye Yugui's eyes sank: "What is hidden in this should be the clue to this problem." ”
"What do you say?" Ye Yushen looked at Ye Yugui with a look of understanding, and hurriedly asked.
"I don't think Xiao Chen committed suicide, but he killed, and the dirt in his fingernails was not dirt. He must have struggled violently before he died. ”
In Ye Yushen's ears, Ye Yuxuan's words were undoubtedly groundless, and it was rash to judge with a little mud in his fingernails.
But Ye Yugui always looked confident, and slowly said: "Of course, the evidence is not just that, there are other things I noticed just now. ”
Xiao Chen was still wearing clothes from the kitchen, and there was some green grass on the corners of his clothes. And this kind of grass is not in the palace of the prince. ”
Ye Yushen looked at the corner of Xiao Chen's clothes, and sure enough, he found a few green grasses on it. At the moment, I believed Ye Yugui's words a little more.
"And I found that Xiao Chen's wrist had bruises, which should have been pinched by someone with great strength."
Although Xiao Chen's whole body was now bruised, the color on his wrists was obviously darker than on his body. At this time, Ziye Yushen completely believed that Xiao Chen was not committing suicide, and he was furious at the moment, and his angry face trembled slightly.
"Who the hell dares to kill the palace people around me!"
"I think, as long as the mud in Xiao Chen's nails is eradicated. If you touch the vine, you will find out which temple still has the same soil. ”
So after completely burying Xiao Chen, Ye Yugui wanted to investigate the truth of this matter, but here Bai Zhenzhen began to vomit. Apparently intense discomfort from the corpse that had just been witnessed.
Originally, Ye Yushen just wanted to appease her for a few words, but Bai Zhenzhen said that she would not let Ye Yushen leave, and finally moved out the child in her belly as a bargaining chip.
Ye Yushen couldn't move here, so he could only talk about the investigation and entrust it to Ye Yugui.
Ye Yugui got the order, so he took out the dirt from Xiao Chen's fingernails and sniffed it first. Then he looked at it for a while, and then took out a pure white handkerchief and wrapped it.
There is a hint of brown in the black soil, and the soil is soft and slightly damp. It's a good dirt.
And this kind of mud leaf language has been inadvertently seen in the backyard of the queen's palace a few times before...... It is said to be a very nourishing plant mixed with spring water.
So Ye Yu returned to the palace after many years, and stepped into his biological mother's palace.
When the palace people came to deliver a message to Wang Jiao'e, she thought she had heard it wrong. After all, Ye Yugui is not so much her son as Song Wei's son.
When Ye Yugui stepped into the hall, Wang Jiao'e almost didn't recognize it. After all, I haven't seen him for many years, and the last time I saw Ye Yugui, he was a thin little boy who was less than his shoulder.
And now that her facial features have all been opened, she seems to be a little better looking than a woman herself, and her tall figure is even taller than the third prince Ye Yuxuan.
But I don't know what happened when Ye Yugui came suddenly.
Ye Yugui had a detached smile on his face, his eyes were bottomless, and he saw that Wang Jiao'e was just saluting respectfully.
"Queen Mother, long time no see."
Wang Jiao'e waved her hand, motioned for him to sit down, and then said majestically: "You look like you have grown up a lot." The queen mother was very pleased. ”
Ye Yugui heard this, but there was no reaction, a mother who can ignore her own child for more than ten years, what can move people when she says this now.
Although I thought so in my heart, I showed a different picture on my face. After all, he will still be able to use his biological mother in the future.
But sure enough, Wang Jiao'e did not disappoint him, and after a few warm words, he asked him directly about his intentions. But apparently Ye Yugui's answer was not what she wanted.
"First, I came to visit the queen mother, and second, I came to meet with the third emperor brother."
As soon as Wang Jiao'e heard him mention Ye Yuxuan, her expression quickly became vigilant.
"What are you looking for your third emperor brother for no reason, he has been very busy lately, and I'm afraid he won't have time to see you." Wang Jiao'e spoke in a very high tone, obviously not wanting Ye Yugui to see Ye Yuxuan.
But Ye Yuxuan pretended not to hear the meaning of her words, and then said: "But I just went to the palace of the Three Emperor Brothers, and the palace people in his palace said that he came to the queen mother. Tell me where he is, and I'll just go find it myself. ”
Wang Jiao'e looked at his stupid appearance that he couldn't understand the deep meaning of people's words, and became more and more disgusted.
"Xuan'er is not like you who have nothing to do every day, he is very busy now, he has no time to see anyone, I am tired, you can go to the palace by yourself." Don't come casually if you're okay in the future. Wang Jiao'e said that she called the guards outside the door to see off the guests.
Ye Yugui nodded at Wang Jiao'e, and respectfully followed the two guards to retreat.
Almost out of the hall gate, Ye Yugui's expression suddenly became cold, and he knocked the two guards unconscious in an instant. Then he carried it to the side of the hidden grass.
And he took off one of the sets of clothes, and after putting them on neatly, he lowered his head and began to patrol around the palace of Wang Jiao'e.
As expected, looking through the open window, Ye Yuxuan was in the study in Wang Jiao'e's palace at this time, Miaohong was gently rubbing his shoulders for him, and he had a look of enjoyment.
Ye Yugui squatted down first. Then he touched the soil on the ground with his hand, and as expected, it was exactly the same color and wetness as the one in Xiao Chen's nails......
His fingers tucked through the dirt, and his mind began to wonder who had killed Xiao Chen.
After all, Wang Jiao'e and Ye Yuxuan are both very suspicious.
After thinking for a while, Ye Yugui had a plan in his heart.
In the study, Miao Hong was lighting incense, rubbing Ye Yuxuan's shoulders with both hands, and the two met and smiled from time to time, and the atmosphere seemed so good.
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and then a deep man's voice came from outside: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, the Queen Mother invites you to come over." ”
