Chapter 180: Silenced

"Aunt Huang, what do you think is suspicious here?"

The prince saw Mu Qingyan standing in Xu Liangdi's courtyard, silent for a long time, and couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"This wall is the back garden?" Mu Qingyan turned around, looked at the prince, and asked.

"On the other side of the wall is the back garden, however, it is a little away from the scene of the crime...... What does the fourth imperial aunt mean that Xu Liangdi went over the wall from here to the back garden?" When the prince heard this, he instantly thought of the crux of the problem, and frowned and said.

Mu Qingyan didn't say yes or no, just looked at a small wooden bench in Xu Liangdi's yard, and said to Chunzhi not far away, "You go and move the stool under the wall." ”

When Chunzhi heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately carried the small wooden stool to the wall and put it down.

"You stand up!" Mu Qingyan said to Chunzhi again.

"Yes!" Chunzhi didn't dare to refuse, and stood up nervously.

"Reach out and climb up. ”

"Fourth princess, slaves don't dare to ......" Chunzhi's head had already exceeded the height of one head of the wall, but when he saw the ground on the other side of the wall, he was still afraid.

"Your height is almost the same as Xu Liangdi, try it and see if you can turn it over." This princess, let people watch on the other side, will not let you get hurt. Mu Qingyan looked at it and said in a deep voice.

"Yes......" Chunzhi replied, and then, with great difficulty in his hands, feet, and limbs, he went up to the wall, however, it was very difficult to go down on the wall.

If it weren't for the fact that there were people waiting on the other side of the wall, she would have to sit on the wall and not be able to get off the ground.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingyan's brows furrowed even tighter.

Xu Xiran has no traces of going out from the front of the yard, and there is no trace of fighting and struggling in the courtyard, she is uncomfortable, so she will definitely not leave the house to rest......

After the investigation, all the above traces point to the fact that Prince Liangdi Xu Xiran deliberately left the banquet, so why did she deliberately leave the banquet?

The crown princess held a family banquet, and all the women who came were clan women, it was a good time to contact feelings, how could someone born in a big family like Xu Liangdi not know that at that time, it was too strange to leave.

"Fourth Imperial Aunt, what's the matter? Did you find something?" the prince looked at Mu Qingyan and fell into deep thought, thinking that she had found some clues, and couldn't wait to ask.

"Xu Liangdi should have flipped from one side of the wall to the other by herself, and ......" Mu Qingyan said, paused for a moment, looking at the prince with a strange look.

"And what?" The crown princess was also anxious, she was complained by the prince about this last night, and she had to sleep in a separate room with her.

Now, if she can find something and solve the case by the way, then she doesn't have to worry about it.

Xu Liangdi didn't climb over the wall alone. ”

As soon as Mu Qingyan's words came out, Jiang Ming, the crown prince, and the crown princess who were present all jumped in their hearts.

"What?" the prince asked, with a look of disbelief.

There were other maids and attendants who followed behind them all heard it, and in an instant, they all lowered their heads, knelt down in an instant, and their body language stiffened.

Because, when you hear something you shouldn't hear, according to what nobles have always done, you can easily decide your fate with a single word.

It is also because only the dead will not reveal what should not be leaked, so they can keep their mouths shut.

Literally, the prince also saw it just now, Chunzhi himself can't fall to the other side of the wall, there must be someone on the other side of the wall. ”

Mu Qingyan said, pointing to one part of the wall, and said: "The prince must want to ask why, I am so sure that Xu Liangdi is from one side of the wall to the other, then, please take a look here." ”

The prince walked to the wall that Mu Qingyan pointed to, and saw that there were some scratches on the wall, his brows were twisted, and he was silent.

The crown princess also stepped forward, but her expression was a little dazed, and she didn't know what Mu Qingyan was doing pointing at the wall.

Jiang Ming stepped forward to take a look, and was shocked in his heart, and immediately confessed: "The lower official was negligent, and asked His Royal Highness the Prince, the crown princess, and the fourth princess to atone for his sins! ”

"Well, you're making a low-level mistake that you shouldn't have. Mu Qingyan just said lightly, exposed Jiang Ming's mistakes, and continued: "According to this inference, Xu Liangdi and the murderer should know each other, and they are also acquaintances, and they should meet each other more than once." ”

What makes her feel strange is that if Xu Xiran is familiar with the murderer, then why did the murderer kill Xu Liangdi?

Moreover, judging from the tragic situation at the scene, how much the murderer hates Xu Xiran, ordinary people don't need to kill like this, at most, they have been stabbed with a knife, what is the concept of stabbing more than a dozen times!

It's just a deep hatred!

However, it is still a bit early to draw conclusions, and some things still need to be carefully verified.

"How could such a thing happen?" The crown prince turned his head to look at the crown princess and asked, "This prince handed over the backyard of the prince's mansion to you to manage, and this is the result of your management?"

"Concubine, concubine has never treated the sisters in the backyard harshly, and the concubine is not the sister who looks at the backyard all the time, the concubine really doesn't know, Your Highness ......" the princess said with tears in her eyes.

"Now is not the time to blame anyone, now, what needs to be done, is to find the murderer. Mu Qingyan glanced at the prince coldly, and said coldly: "The prince's mansion is so big, there are so many women in the prince, and there is only one princess, the princess is to let the princess have to check every side concubine and concubine, like a housekeeper, what do you do to marry the princess?" Prince, just find the housekeeper!"

"Poof~" When Jiang Ming heard Mu Qingyan's words, he was so frightened that his saliva squirted out, and he looked at Mu Qingyan with a frightened face, then looked at the prince, and then looked at the princess.

He had a pair of old hands, covering his heart, as if his heart was about to beat out.

The fourth princess was always speechless, and every time, his heart would be frightened, frightened, and he would wake up several times in the night......

When the crown princess heard Mu Qingyan say this about the prince, she couldn't help but be displeased, and said: "Fourth Imperial Aunt, how can you say this about the prince, this is the fault of the palace, His Royal Highness the prince is right, the palace did not take care of the backyard and there is such a thing, it is difficult to escape the blame." ”

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan rolled her eyes directly, and found that she couldn't talk to this princess at all, was she stupid and couldn't hear it, she helped her get angry!

"You're right, it's really your fault!" There is a saying that is really right, when you meet a fool, don't theorize with a fool, you should support the fool's theory, and let her continue to be a fool.

"Master Jiang, you have recorded these as well. Mu Qingyan turned around and didn't want to look at the young couple.

"Yes, this is what a subordinate should do!" Jiang Ming hurriedly picked up the pen and sat down to record, as if he didn't see the prince silent in a gloomy atmosphere.

After all, Jiang Ming is a person who has seen wind and waves, and compared to the cold air emitted by the fourth prince that can freeze people to death, these little gloom of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are nothing.

Mu Qingyan looked at Chunzhi, who had already returned, and continued to ask, "Do you usually wait for Xu Liangdi?"

"Back to the fourth princess, no, Xu Liangdi has a maid who came to marry. Chunzhi fell to her knees softly and replied.

The wall climb just now really scared her, the wall was higher than a person, and if she was not careful, she would fall to her death.

"Who are they, why don't you see them?"

"The fourth princess, Xu Liangdi has two maids, one is Qiushuang and the other is Qiurong, and the slave maid hasn't talked about them since yesterday. Chunzhi replied.

When Mu Qingyan heard this, she frowned, and had a bad premonition in her heart, and asked the crown princess, "Where are Xu Liangdi's two maids?"

When the crown princess heard this, she was also stunned for a while, and then said: "Yesterday was too chaotic, and the palace doesn't know where the two of them went......?"

"No need to scream!" The prince suddenly spoke up and said in a deep voice: "Qiu Shuang is in the Duke's Palace, Qiu Rong is dead!"

"Duke Xu went to his father to sue the emperor because of Qiushuang's notice, don't tell this prince, Qiushuang was chased and killed, you don't know about the crown princess?"

When the crown princess heard this, she was stunned and said: "The concubine had already sent someone to the Duke's Palace, so how could she let Qiushuang go to the Duke's Mansion alone to report the news? Why did Qiushuang leave the Prince's Mansion and why was she hunted down, the concubine really doesn't know!"

Mu Qingyan interrupted the crown prince who was about to speak and asked, "How did His Royal Highness the crown prince know that Qiu Rong was dead?"

The prince listened to Mu Qingyan's questioning and replied: "This was found by Lone's guards in the back alley of the prince's mansion last night, and at that time, when it happened to be the son, Qiu Rong was already dead. ”

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan's brows became deeper and deeper, and things were really not ordinary complicated.

Prince Liangdi died unexpectedly, and Liangdi's two close maids who married her also died unexpectedly, and one was hunted down.

What makes the murderer desperate to kill three people on the same day?

"Usually, is there anything wrong with Xu Liangdi?" asked Mu Qingyan.

The crown princess replied: "No, on weekdays, Xu Liangdi also asked the palace to say goodbye on time, and I didn't see anything wrong with her." ”

"What about the prince, when Xu Liangdi usually gets along with you, what performance is more memorable to you?" After listening to the princess's words, Mu Qingyan turned her gaze to look at the prince.

The prince shook his head and said, "Because of the newlywed Yan'er, the queen mother said that she must be with the crown princess during this time, so I did not summon Xu Liangdi. On weekdays, it's also a way for people to send something new, and that's it. ”

That is to say, on weekdays, after Xu Liangdi went to greet the crown princess, the rest of the time was in her own courtyard. Mu Qingyan looked at the courtyard, pondered, a little, and said, "Then what will she do during this time?"

"Also, if Xu Liangdi is really uncomfortable, why don't you change the imperial doctor? There are imperial doctors in the prince's mansion, if you are uncomfortable, what you should do is to find the imperial doctor, why didn't Xu Liangdi look for it? If she didn't find it, it means that the discomfort is not particularly uncomfortable, so it is said that Xu Liangdi deliberately came back to the courtyard. ”

In the process of asking Chunzhi, Mu Qingyan's head was full of doubts, Chunzhi's answer was obviously valuable, but the value was not great, it could only show that Xu Xiran had returned to the courtyard, but she didn't know whether Xu Xiran had been discharged from the hospital or not, and she didn't see anyone in contact with Xu Xiran.

Everything that followed was deduced by them based on traces, and the calculated things themselves had many loopholes and doubts.

"Knock on the crown prince, the crown princess, the fourth princess!"

At this time, Mu Qingyan raised her eyes when she heard the voice, looked at the sound, and saw Imperial Doctor Lu walking over with a few people.

"Imperial Physician Lu, please get up!" the prince saw Imperial Physician Lu and nodded slightly, Imperial Physician Lu is a popular person around the emperor, and as the prince, he still has to give a thin face.

"Prince Xie!"

Mu Qingyan looked at Imperial Physician Lu and asked, "Has Imperial Physician Lu found anything appropriate?"

"Back to the fourth princess, Xia Guan, found a medicinal property of a tranquilizing flower from Liangdi's corpse, this tranquilizing flower is very domineering, people who drink it will not feel numb in their bodies, but they have to play an effect by drinking, and because the effect is too domineering, few doctors will prescribe it for patients to drink. Doctor Lu told the results of the autopsy.

"How can there be such a medicine in the mansion, is it the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor in the mansion?" asked the prince with a frown.

When the crown princess heard this, she immediately replied: "Your Royal Highness, the concubine has asked the imperial doctor in the palace yesterday, and the imperial doctor has not prescribed any medicine to Xu Liangdi, nor has she given Xu Liangdi any medicine. Besides, there is a list of prohibited drugs in the house, how dare the imperial doctor give Xu Liangdi such a domineering medicine. ”

"If it is not owned in the prince's mansion, then it is possible that it was brought back from outside, purchased by the deceased himself, and deliberately ordered by the murderer?" Mu Qingyan said in a low voice: "Lord Jiang, are these prohibited drugs not allowed to be bought and sold in pharmacies in the entire capital?"

"Back to the fourth princess, it stands to reason that such medicines are not allowed to be bought and sold, and most pharmacies in the capital are expressly prohibited. Jiang Ming bowed and replied.

That is, it can't be found on the bright road, if the pharmacy can be bought and sold, then there are only a few pharmacies in the capital, as long as you check it, you can know who bought it. It's a pity......

"Imperial Doctor Lu, did you mean that the effect of the tranquilizing flower you mentioned had to be drunk for a while before it took effect?"

"Yes, the effect of the tranquilizer found by the minister is to be exerted after drinking for a quarter of an hour, and the effect of this tranquilizing flower is very hurtful, and the medicinal properties will remain in the human body for a long time and cannot be ruled out. ”

Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, Mu Qingyan looked at Chunzhi, who was kneeling on the side, and asked, "Where did the tea you gave Xu Liangdi come from?"

"The fourth princess, the slave maid is poured from Liangdi's house, and the tea has been prepared in the house a long time ago. When Chunzhi heard this, she was so frightened that she hurriedly replied.

"If it's not wrong, the murderer is a person who is familiar with the situation in the house, and the murderer put the medicine away early, knowing that Xu Liangdi will go back, and then waiting for Xu Liangdi to drink it. Mu Qingyan said and thought about it, and said: "The two maids who can easily walk into Xu Liangdi's house and not be discovered are the two maids beside Xu Liangdi. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts were shocked.

The crown prince was even more calm, and asked: "Then, as the fourth imperial aunt said, then, Qiu Rong did not die but was killed?"
