Chapter 166: Dissecting the Heart, Nothing to Hide

In the hall, Siqi knelt in front of Princess Yongle with his hands tied behind his back, shouting loudly, crying pear blossoms with rain, Chu Chu was pitiful.

"Princess, the slave is wronged! The slave and maid have followed the princess and the concubine for many years, and she is loyal, there is no second heart, heaven and earth can be learned, how can she do such a thing as poisoning and assassinating the concubine, and ask the princess to be the master of the slave and maid! ”

Princess Yongle glanced at Shen Qianmo with a difficult face, obviously still not believing that it would be Siqi, a girl, who poisoned and killed the horse.

This girl has been with the colt for many years, and has been quite favored and trusted by the pony, although it is a personal maid, but the pony has always been not thin to her, and all the maids who serve the pony belong to her most favored.

Why did she poison the pony? What good will it do her if she kills the colt?

Shen Qianmo looked coldly at Siqi's crying and grabbing the ground, the corners of her mouth pulled lightly, and she said indifferently: "Since Miss Siqi is loyal to the princess and the concubine, and has no two hearts, why did you have a weak heart when I asked you just now?" ”

Siqi sobbed and said: "The slave maid doesn't understand the meaning of Princess Xuan, the slave maid is frank and open, how can she be weak-hearted?" ”

"Don't you understand?" Shen Qianmo sneered, "Then I'll let you understand." Siqi, how many questions did I ask you? ”

Siqi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "Three." ”

"Three." Shen Qianmo repeated, nodded and said, "Look, it's only natural for you to answer like this." ”

Siqi obviously didn't understand Shen Qianmo's meaning, and his face was blank. The other people in the hall were also puzzled by Shen Qianmo's meaning.

Shen Qianmo continued to explain: "You answer three instead of answering three questions, which is the difference between natural and blunt answering. Think about how you answered my three questions. I asked you how many years you have been with the horse, you replied that you have been with the horse for five years, I asked you what day the horse was on Fengming Mountain, you replied that the horse was on Fengming Mountain three days ago, and the last question, I asked you if you had entered the horse's room two days ago, you answered, but then added a series of explanations. This is a sign of a weak heart. ”

"......" Siqi was still speechless.

Shen Qianmo took a leisurely sip of tea and continued: "Those who are open-minded naturally speak with sufficient confidence, and only those with weak hearts will worry about being suspected because their words are not convincing enough, thinking that they can only be credible if they say more, but they don't know that sometimes talking too much just seems blunt and unnatural, thus revealing that he lacks confidence and is weak and afraid." I deliberately asked the servant maid who went to summon you to reveal to you that I had called you to inquire about the cause of the horse's death, and you must have been nervous and wary when you heard it, but when a person is overly cautious, he will often go too far and show his flaws. ”

"......" Siqi's face turned pale and he was speechless.

"Then Miss Siqi, may I ask why you don't have enough confidence and fear even to answer these three simple questions?"

"Then you don't need to ask, naturally because you did something wrong." Baili Xiao on the side simply threw himself to the ground with Shen Qianmo's admiration. Just a few simple questions like this, you can analyze people's psychology so well, and it sounds damn reasonable, it makes people have nothing to hide, this ...... What kind of knowledge is it?

Princess Yongle twisted her eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "Siqi, what is your explanation?" ”

Siqi's face turned pale, but he was still stubbornly crying out for grievances. "Princess Mingjian, the slave is wronged! Mr. Gongsun also said that the horse master died of insect poison in his body, and it has nothing to do with slaves! ”

"Really?" Shen Qianmo raised her eyebrows slightly, "Because the horse has been bitten by poisonous insects, Mr. Gongsun will think that it is caused by the toxicity of poisonous insects." But I have seen the carcass of the horse, and his lips are blistered, his tongue is rotten, his abdomen is swollen, and his whole body is bruised, which is obviously a symptom of poisoning. ”

After a pause, Shen Qianmo lowered his head and took another sip of tea, raised his eyes to look at Siqi, who looked more and more discouraged, and slowly spoke: "You saw that the horse was bitten by a poisonous insect and the injury was serious, so you took the opportunity to feed him poison, thinking that he had been poisoned by the insect anyway, just enough to cover up the past unknowingly." It's a pity that although you are smart, you don't understand toxicology, you don't know that poison is different, and your injuries are not the same. Insect venom is generally acidic, rarely alkaline, even if the beetle is different from the usual poisonous insects, the corrosive insect venom should only cause damage to the skin and flesh of the venom contact site, if it is not inhalation poisoning, it generally does not cause bruising all over the body, which shows that the horse has taken poison. As for why you poisoned you, what kind of poison you wanted, and who instructed you to poison you, I think Princess Yongle should want to know more than I do, right? ”

After Shen Qianmo said this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had never made such a long speech except for teaching the interns of the forensic medicine department in her previous life.

Now that the murderer has been found, all she can do has been completed, and the rest is the internal affairs of Nanchen Kingdom, and she is inconvenient to participate, and she does not want to participate, so she got up and said goodbye to Princess Yongle.

The matter of fighting for power and taking a position has always been much the same. Princess Yongle is the most promising candidate to inherit the throne in the Nanchen Kingdom, so she must also be the most popular figure in the entire Nanchen Kingdom, and there are definitely not a few people who want her life or want to cut off her arms and cut her strength. Don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that the sons of King Nanchen are about to be sat on the throne by their own sister or sister, and they will not be convinced by any of them.

When Gongsun Hua sent her to the door, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask Princess Xuan, why didn't you include Lao Yu as a suspect just now?" If it is said that it is to poison the horse, no one will be more convenient than old decay. ”

Shen Qianmo smiled lightly: "Naturally, it is because I believe in Mr. Gongsun's medical skills. If Mr. Gongsun had poisoned, he wouldn't have left such an obvious flaw, right? ”

Knowing that the two poisons are contradictory and the symptoms are different, if Gongsun Hua still wants to give this poison to the horse, then he has done it in vain for so many years.

When Gongsun Hua heard this, his face showed a little admiration. The princess Xuan in front of her sees people so clearly, and she really has a delicate mind.

Shen Qianmo took Ye Qinglan and Baili Xiao to say goodbye, and before she reached the gate of the courtyard, she was called by a young man dressed as a guard of the Beidi Kingdom behind her.

The Beidi Kingdom guard bent down and clenched his fists, and respectfully asked: "Princess Xuan, please stay, the sixth prince of my family is invited." ”

"The Sixth Prince?" Baili smiled and frowned, and said impatiently: "What is the matter with the sixth prince of your family looking for the princess?" ”

These people are endless, helping Nan Chen find out the inner ghost who poisoned the horse, and helping Xiliang cure Murong Jing, who almost became a one-armed prince, and the princess is tired enough at the end of the day. What's more, the princess is not as usual now, if she is really tired, the prince will be furious when he comes back, and then he will start a fire, you just have nine lives that are not enough to die!

The Beidi Kingdom guard replied respectfully: "The sixth prince of my family asked Princess Xuan to go and treat the insect poison for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Is it finally Yan Lu's turn? Shen Qianmo tugged at the corners of her mouth, and said to Baili Xiao and Ye Qinglan: "Let's go, let's see how Prince Yan is injured?" ”

The three of them followed the Beidi Kingdom guard to Wan Yanlu's room, and as soon as they walked into the room, Shen Qianmo smelled a special smell. The smell is not strong and smells similar to some kind of sandalwood.

In the room, Wan Yanping and He Liancheng were there, and when they saw Shen Qianmo and them coming in, the two of them got up to greet each other, He Liancheng's face was tense and expressionless, Wan Yanping looked humble and polite, and said to Shen Qianmo: "There is Princess Lao Xuan." ”

Shen Qianmo smiled lightly: "The sixth prince is polite, I don't know how Prince Wanyan's injury is?" ”

"The poison of this evil beetle is really powerful, and in the past few days, the prince's injury has not improved at all." Wan Yanping's face was a little heavy, and he didn't know whether this worry was true or not, "I heard that Princess Xuan has excellent medical skills, and she has cured the insect poison for the prince of Yanping, so Xiao Wang proposed to the prince to ask Princess Xuan to come and treat him." ”

Shen Qianmo nodded, didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Why don't you take me to see the prince's injury first?" ”

Wan Yanping naturally couldn't ask for it, and hurriedly took Shen Qianmo and his party to the back of the screen in the room.

Behind the screen is a large bed, the bed curtain hangs low, so airtight that it is impossible to see the people inside, only a pair of dark brown hard-soled boots neatly arranged on the edge of the couch, showing that the owner of the boots is lying on the bed at the moment.

Wan Yanping said diligently: "Prince, Princess Xuan is here." ”

After a moment of silence, Wan Yanlu's slightly weak voice came from the bed tent. "The prince is sick, and Princess Xuan is pregnant, so in order to avoid colliding with Princess Xuan, it is really inconvenient to see each other, and I hope you will forgive me."

Shen Qianmo raised her eyebrows. It seems that inviting her to treat her injuries is Wan Yanping's intention alone, and Wan Yanlu has no such intention.

Wan Yanping is very persistent, but he looks a little brotherly. "Prince, I heard that this insect poison is very powerful, the prince of Yanping has been unconscious after being poisoned, and the horse of Nanchen Kingdom died violently in the early hours of this morning, if the prince does not treat it in time, I am afraid that this injury will become worse and worse, and it is not easy to explain to the father when the situation occurs. Princess Xuan has excellent medical skills, and she has already treated the injuries of the prince of Yanping, and the effect is very good, so the prince still let Princess Xuan heal it. ”

Wan Yanlu was silent for a long time.

Even the king of Beidi has moved out, how much does Wan Yan Ping want to let him treat his injuries for Wan Yan Lu? Shen Qianmo secretly laughed and said, "It is really touching that Prince Wanyan thinks so much about this princess. It's also unfortunate that the saline and distilled water used to rinse the wound have been used up when they treated the injuries of Prince Yanping just now, and I am afraid that they will not be able to treat Prince Wanyan today. However, the sixth prince's concern is not unreasonable, the poison of this evil beetle is indeed very powerful, and it should not be taken lightly, so let's do it, since the prince sympathizes with me and is not easy to travel back and forth while pregnant, it is better to come to the Xuan Wangfu tomorrow, I promise that the prince will definitely get rid of the disease. Sixth Prince, what do you think? ”

Shen Qianmo had a light smile on her lips, looking at Wan Yanping's eyes calm and natural, with a light and breezy look.

"That's very good." Wanyan was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Princess Xuan, tomorrow the little king will personally escort the prince to the Xuan Palace." ”

"Don't bother the sixth brother." Wan Yanlu in the bed said urgently, as if faintly annoyed, "The prince of Japan will go to the Xuan Palace, and the sixth brother should do what you should do." ”
