"White Jade Lotus Root?"

Hearing Wang Teng talk about this thing, Chen Yuan suddenly frowned, as if he didn't understand a little, just a white jade lotus root, what's so different from ordinary things?

But after Wang Teng took it out, Chen Yuan understood.

I saw that the white jade lotus root was presented in a jade box, the whole body was white and flawless, there were three sections, the baby's arm was thick, and there were some holes on it.

Obviously, this white jade lotus root is made by simulation, and even has the function of drainage.

Looking at the 'Mr. Lotus Root' in the jade box, Chen Yuan squinted his eyes, now, he understood it, and at the same time he was surprised by the power of this concubine.

The means are indeed unfathomable ....

But it's normal to think about it, Jingtai has not been close to women for several years, and these harem concubines naturally have to find their own ways to solve problems.

"My lord.... This thing...."

Wang Teng said with some hesitation.

"Let's put it up first." Chen Yuan waved his hand.

To be honest, when he saw this Mr. Lotus Root, he had already faintly thought of something in his heart, and the answer was about to come out, but he didn't dare to say it yet.

Otherwise, it will inevitably be suspected of insulting the concubine.

The old eunuch surnamed Zhao on the side squinted his eyes lightly and slowly stepped forward and said:

"Commander Chen, what did you find?"

Chen Yuan glanced at him quietly:

"What's the matter, this official still has to report to Gong Zhao in every detail?"

Zhao Gonggong: "The old slave just asked. ”

"Can the two palace maids beside Concubine Niangniang bring them?" Chen Yuan didn't pay attention to him, but looked at the two people outside the door and asked.

"My lord, the prisoner has been brought."

A Sky Survey Guard bowed.

"Bring it in."

Chen Yuan gave an order, and the two palace maids outside were immediately arrested and taken to the palace of the concubine, and it could be seen that they were tortured a little miserably, their clothes were ragged, their long hair was scattered, and even their pupils were a little dull.

"That's how you judge prisoners?"

Chen Yuan asked with a frown.

It's all about bending.

A few poor people around Gonggong Zhao smiled wryly, didn't dare to answer, and stood behind him with a bow.

Chen Yuan stepped forward slowly, stared at the two palace maids, and said in a deep voice:

"This official is ordered to investigate the cause of the death of Concubine Shu, you two are the most suspicious, if you want to live, don't have the slightest delay, otherwise.... Not only will you die, but your family will also die. ”

Listening to the words that penetrated into the ears, the two sluggish palace maids gradually came back to their senses, and one of them hurriedly cried and said:

"I beg the adults to find out the truth, Sister Xiu'er and I were really wronged."

"Then don't hide it."

"Don't hide it, don't hide it, just ask."

The palace maid who spoke nodded repeatedly.

God knows what kind of torture they have been subjected to since last night to today, and now that they have seen a ray of hope, they are naturally unwilling to let go, but the palace maid named Xiu'er on the side is still a little sluggish.

is not as respectful as the palace maid in front of her, it seems that she has been tortured too much, and she doesn't have much desire to survive.

"When did Concubine Niangniang develop the habit of admiring the moon?" Chen Yuan asked in a deep voice.

The palace maid thought for a moment and replied:

"Since more than two years ago, Concubine Shu has often admired the moon."

"Two years ago?"

Chen Yuan smacked his tongue, this time span is really large.

"Every other day?"

"About seven days...."

"Is it fixed?"

"No... Not fixed. The palace maid replied thoughtfully.

"Is there anything unusual these days?"

"Recently...."The palace maid lowered her head and said softly:

"Recently, the number of times Niangniang admires the moon is more than before, and I used to enjoy it every few days, but since almost seven days ago, I will go to the attic to enjoy the moon almost every day."

"Do you have any abnormalities?"

"No... No. ”

"If you think about it, every word you say is a matter of your life." Chen Yuan nodded.

"The slave understands, the slave understands."

The palace nodded busily.

"When the lady lady admires the moon, why don't you follow?"

Chen Yuan paced in the Shufei Hall with his hands, asking the questions he had thought about before, and after clearing out all the questions, it would be much easier to track them down.

"Niangniang is happy and quiet, and she has not let the slaves and maids follow her since half a year ago."

"Xijing?"

"Yes, the mother is very quiet."

"And what is this?"

Chen Yuan pointed to the white jade lotus root in Wang Ping's hand and asked.

The palace maid's face showed an unnatural shyness, and she said in a low voice:

"This.... The slave doesn't know. ”

"I really don't know?"

"It's... It's something that the mother often plays with. ”

Chen Yuan nodded, the white jade lotus root knew at a glance that it was often played, otherwise it would never be so white and translucent, and the jade thing was the same as walnuts.

The more you play around, the thicker the pulp becomes.

"Did you hear anything when she fell into the water?" Chen Yuan's voice changed, and he no longer continued to stay on the topic of Fang Cai.

If you continue to talk about it, you will have to be sealed....

"This slave really didn't hear any movement, and the mother had already instructed the slaves and maids not to disturb her admiring the moon no matter what happened.

Before, a sister accidentally heard Niangniang's exclamation and wanted to run up to check, but she was rewarded with a few slaps by Niangniang and driven out of Concubine Shu's side. ”

The palace maid hurriedly said.

"There was no movement that day?"

"Nope."

"Didn't hear when you fell into the water?"

Chen Yuan had already seen that attic, from the height to the secluded pool, it was at least ten meters high, and a big living person falling into the water was no less than a boulder, and the splashing sound could not be small.

And the two palace maids can't be too far apart.

"No...."

"No?"

Chen Yuan nodded, it can already be deduced from here that the death of this lady concubine is not simple, there is definitely a master who seals the six senses and five senses of the two of them.

"Then when did you find the body of the lady lady?"

"It's almost time, usually the mother should come down at this time, but it didn't come down for a long time, and the slave and maid had the courage to go up and take a look,

turned out to be empty, Sister Xiu'er inadvertently looked down, and found that Concubine Niangniang was... It's floating on the pool. "Referring to this,

The little palace maid's eyes were still a little frightened, which showed how big the impact was on them at that time.

Chen Yuan squinted his eyes:

"Did Concubine Lady also go to admire the moon the day before yesterday?"

"Go.... went. ”

"Well, let's go see the body of the lady first." Chen Yuan nodded and didn't ask any more.

What he wants to know is already known, and now he only needs to find out who the murderer is, and there is no doubt that the cause of death must be homicide, because this lady is probably a cuckold for Jingtai.

No wonder this matter should not be publicized, it is really not glorious.

And the people who are aware of this obviously don't know that he is alone, otherwise the palace will never be such a scene now.

Now what we have to track down is who is the person who dares to cuckold the emperor?

It's just impatient to live ....

Because, the day before yesterday was when the vision of the seven stars came out, and the entire capital was covered by black clouds, where to go to admire the moon?

It's clear that I'm going to have a private meeting with my lover.

Concubine Shu's body was stored in the ice cellar in the palace for preservation, one is to facilitate the investigation of the case, and the other is to make it more convenient when entering the funeral.

A few people left the Shufei Palace and went straight to the ice cellar, there were guards at the door, but there was an old eunuch, and no one dared to stop them, but when they entered, there were a few more old grandmothers around Chen Yuan and the others.

It seemed to be preparing to keep an eye on them.

Chen Yuan didn't care about them, he walked forward, his eyes looked at Concubine Shu's corpse, it might have grown well before, but after soaking in the pool water, Concubine Shu's body was still a little swollen.

Lying quietly in the ice coffin.

Chen Yuan's eyes looked up and down Concubine Shu's body, and carefully stayed on her nails for a moment, except for the middle finger and index finger, which had no nails, the rest of the nails were not short.

He searched one by one, but unfortunately he didn't find any debris from it.

At the same time, Chen Yuan was also opening his five senses and sniffing the smell of Concubine Shu carefully to see if there was any smell of deoxyribonucleic acid, if there was, the emperor's green hat would be solid.

It's a pity that it seems that after a long time, he didn't hear it.

"I'm tired of removing the clothes from the lady's body." Chen Yuan wanted to take a closer look.

"No."

The old eunuch on the side hurriedly jumped out to stop it.

This-->>

[Reading updates load slowly, there are ads, chapters are incomplete, please exit Reading and read!] 】

But the great crime of insulting the body of Concubine Shu, he had said before that this matter should not be done.

"You don't need to have it all, you can leave the important ones behind." Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.

He was also not interested in looking at the body of a dead man.

The old lady on the side was a little hesitant, and did not do it directly, but set her eyes on the old eunuch, as if only his consent could be done.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan said lightly:

"This official is ordered to investigate the case, and Gonggong Zhao wants to stop it?"

"Naturally not.... It's just that... This...."

"Even if someone from the Criminal Department investigates the case, they have to look carefully at the physical body, how can they investigate the case without evidence?"

The old eunuch was silent for a moment, then nodded.

A few old ladies on the side immediately understood, stepped forward to remove most of the clothes on the concubine's body, only a few strips of cloth remained, and Wang Teng and the others also turned around.

Chen Yuan's eyes were calm, and he looked carefully at Concubine Shu's body, and he couldn't see anything before he took off his clothes, but after removing it, he could feel that the bulge in her abdomen was relatively high.

If nothing else, you should drink more water.

Chen Yuan's eyes carefully checked the details like a scanner, and there were no problems in most places, but after removing the clothes, he suddenly smelled a faint smell of ink.

It's just that this smell is very light, and it seems to have been masked, even if he has all five senses, he is only aware of it.

Frowning, Chen Yuan asked a few grandmothers to turn Concubine Shu over and check it again.

This time, Chen Yuan focused on the smell of ink, the more immersed he was, the more he could feel that this ink was very fragrant, I am afraid it was not ordinary.

Staring at the corpse of this concubine, Chen Yuan was silent for a long time and then slowly stretched out a finger and placed it on top of his bulging belly, and then showed a smile that seemed to be nothing.

Good guy, this concubine's stomach is not water.....

"Alright."

Chen Yuan confirmed that he had written down all the details, and turned to a few grandmothers and said.

Then, he left the ice cellar with the people and returned to the Shufei Palace.

The two palace maids were still being guarded, Chen Yuan stepped forward and asked casually:

"When Concubine Shu was alive, did she like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

"Niangniang likes the piano and often plays tunes."

"What about calligraphy and painting?"

"This slave has never seen it."

Chen Yuan nodded, it was already very clear by this point, that faint ink fragrance, if nothing else, should be left by the murderer.

"Lord Chen, what have you discovered?"

"I'm tired of Gonggong Zhao, bring all the types of ink in the palace to me to see."

Zhao Gonggong's eyes flashed, nodded, and gave an order, and several little eunuchs around him immediately turned around and left, while Chen Yuan slowly squatted down and continued to ask:

"These days.... Are you sure what is not written? ”

"No.... No. ”

"Then did you ask from Concubine Niangniang's body what kind of ink fragrance smelled?"

"No... No, the slave maid and others only smelled the smell of sandalwood on the body of the lady concubine. ”

Chen Yuan bowed slightly.

Soon, the few little eunuchs who had left before took out nine kinds of ink and put them in front of Chen Yuan, and he smelled them one by one, and finally found the familiar feeling before on the body of the seventh ink.

"What kind of ink is this?"

"Long Xiangmo."

Zhao Gonggong replied.

"In the palace, who likes to use such ink?"

Zhao Gonggong frowned and thought about it:

"Several princes and His Majesty are quite fond of this ink."

Chen Yuan was stunned when he heard this, wasn't it the palace guard who fornicated with Concubine Shu?

Is it the fucking prince?

"Apart from a few princes and Your Majesty, who else uses this dragon incense ink?"

"Lord Chen, this is a special incense ink for the royal family, if ordinary people use it, it will be overstepping."

Chen Yuan understood, that is to say, the current scope has been reduced to these princes in the palace.

Of course, this does not rule out whether someone framed it.

It is possible to deliberately confuse the public.

Chen Yuan's mind kept thinking about the clues he had discovered, walking in the palace of the concubine, and asked casually: ???.. Com

"How many princes have been in the palace recently?"

"It's still the same as usual, I will come every few days, except for the Fourth Highness."

"Your Highness."

Chen Yuan's footsteps suddenly suffocated, he was still thinking about which prince was the most likely before, but Zhao's words suddenly made him have a flash of inspiration.

Sima Ke was impeached by Guo Peng because of his collusion with Dongying warriors, and then he was imprisoned by Jingtai in the palace to meditate.

I just haven't paid much attention to it.

Now think again.... Seem... There are a lot of possibilities.

The other princes will not talk about it for the time being, just considering that the fourth prince is the murderer, it seems to make sense, he was punished by Jingtai for copying Buddhist scriptures, and the smell of dragon incense ink on his body is normal.

The dragon spirit itself is strong, and it is the time when the blood is strong.

And.... He remembered that the attic before was very close to Chunhua Palace....

All these things add up, and the more suspicious Sima Ke is.

Although this is Chen Yuan's reasoning and conjecture, it is not difficult to find more evidence, as long as it can be known through the confession of the palace maid,

Concubine Shufei is not a day or two to admire the moon.

As long as the time when Sima Ke entered the palace is connected to it, it can naturally be associated.

And if Concubine Shu is dissected and the dead baby in her womb is compared with Sima Ke, this is ironclad evidence!

Sima Ke, Sima Ke.

It's not like I'm going to hurt you, it's all up to you.

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed with light.

As long as the evidence is conclusive, Chen Yuan can completely nail Sima Ke!

Since then, it has been beaten to the dust, and it can be imagined how serious it will be once Lao Tzu was cuckolded by his son once Jingtai knew about it.

There is a great possibility of capital crimes!

And the grudge between him and Sima Ke will also be completely ended.

Chen Yuan has wanted to kill this guy for a long time, but because of his identity, it has been difficult to do it, after all, he is the prince of the dynasty, and it is Jingtai's blood that flows.

But right now, this identity is just killing him.

"Has Commander Chen found the murderer?" Gonggong Zhao suddenly stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Chen Yuan's eyes were full of light, and he just wanted to say that he wanted to ask Gonggong Zhao to check the time of Sima Ke's entry into the palace, but just when he wanted to speak, he suddenly closed his mouth.

He suddenly thought of what Prospect Tai had told him, don't make a noise, don't let outsiders know.

If he said Sima Ke's name, wouldn't it be obvious that Concubine Shu's death was attributed to Sima Ke, as long as he continued to investigate,

The scandal of the prince cuckolding the emperor will spread throughout the capital.

The mouth of you, but you can't stop it.

But if he doesn't say it, isn't he ineffective?

Just when Chen Yuan was thinking about whether to continue to investigate Sima Ke, he suddenly thought deeply, I am afraid that the cause of Concubine Shu's death can be known as long as her IQ is normal, and this is not a suicide.

So....

Why don't these people look into it closely?

These clues seem to be meticulous, but if they are really investigated, they will definitely be able to find out these clues, and then reason to Sima Ke's body.

Moreover, if Concubine Shu is pregnant, will no one really notice it?

As long as you have achieved something, you can easily perceive this.

But they pretended not to know, and only went to torture the two palace maids, it really didn't look like a normal person could do it, obviously.... Some people in the palace had already thought of this, but they just didn't want to get involved.

Even thinking about it again, maybe the old eunuch beside Chen Yuan knew that this matter was related to Sima Ke, but he was just deliberately pretending to be stupid to induce him to think of Sima Ke.

And also

Is there anyone responsible for this?

Planting blame on Sima Ke's body?

Chen Yuan scolded secretly, how could so many things have happened in this association.

Moreover, what is the intention of Jingtai?

Is it really just to find out the cause of Concubine Shu's death?

Let him check, just don't you want to alarm too many people?

"Perhaps..... It's not that simple, they are all using him as a pawn game? ”

This is a deeper idea.

"The official hasn't found it yet, how do you see what Gonggong Zhao means, it seems that he has already thought of something?" Chen Yuan rolled his eyes and asked lightly.

Zhao Gonggong smiled:

"The old slave is stupid, how could he think of this."

"It's not that complicated, but it needs to be examined carefully, um... Take the official to Chunhua Palace to meet the concubine Niangniang. ”

Not to mention anything else, presumably, the concubine Niangniang shouldn't want this matter to be known by His Majesty, right?
