"His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean by the killer sent by the Liu family?"

Li Yunxing nodded, there was only this answer.

However, killing ginkgo is not necessarily Liu Ruxu's choice, it is more likely to be Liu Zhongqing.

As a servant girl who grew up beside Liu Ruxu, she is destined to be bound to Liu Ruxu in this life, and she will be both prosperous and lossy.

If you leave the palace halfway like this, it can only be an accident.

"And His Royal Highness the Prince, what I told you is really right, Ginkgo is missing an arm!"

"Was it cut down when you died, or was it cut off before you left the palace?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the wound has traces of being bandaged, it should have happened before leaving the palace."

"Hmm." Li Yunxing pondered for a moment, "Is there any movement on the queen's side?" ”

"It is said that ...... Someone had already handed the message to the queen, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. ”

Li Yunxing's expression froze, it seems that Liu Ruxu had known such a result for a long time.

"Did you find any clues about the severed hand?"

"What the slave maid heard from the patrol guard was that on the night after King Zhaoyang's death, something happened to Ginkgo. I kept saying that my arm was itchy. The palace maid in the courtyard bathed her and wiped her arm with a cooling ointment, but it didn't work at all. ”

"The nails of those fingernails are scratched and they haven't stopped."

"Because the commotion was too big, Ginkgo was like crazy, and it also alarmed Queen Liu."

"But even so, the disease of ginkgo biloba could not be cured."

"So at that time, it was rumored in the palace that the ginkgo biloba might have something unclean."

Jin Xi said the rumors in the palace vividly, and the people in the palace were like this.

It seems that the masters of each court are fighting openly and secretly, but in fact, the days in the palace are peaceful most of the time.

The concubines who can be favored by the emperor are eager to come more often, because such a huge palace can bring a little popularity.

Unfavored concubines or princes must be careful with every step they take in the palace.

So with these anecdotes, it is also the only pastime for such a boring palace life.

"Something unclean?"

"Hmm!" Jin nodded matter-of-factly.

"The first person to find out that King Zhaoyang was poisoned was Ginkgo. After that, the queen was ill because of her health, so many things about King Zhaoyang were taken care of by Ginkgo herself. ”

"Many people say that King Zhaoyang died an unknown death, and Ginkgo was the first person to come into contact with him, so the dirty things entangled her, and she wanted to borrow Ginkgo's body to revive her soul."

Fang Cai said it was quite reliable, but the last sentence made Li Yunxing burst into laughter.

"Resurrection of a corpse? You can figure it out. ”

Although this is a popular folk ghost story, I have never heard of anyone who borrowed a corpse to resurrect the soul from ancient times.

Seeing that Li Yunxing was dissatisfied, Jinxi immediately changed his tone, "This ...... The slave maid also felt that it was not credible, but it was indeed rumored in the palace. ”

Resurrection of the dead certainly does not exist.

But the itchy ginkgo arm must be true.

And that day in Yongle Palace, when Li Yunxing and Liu Ruxu met in front of his father's sickbed, he noticed that Liu Ruxu's personal maid Ginkgo did not follow.

It seems that Ginkgo biloba was already ill at that time.

"Don't spread the rumors of these gods and ghosts, send someone to investigate, where Ginkgo has been and who she has seen during the day that day."

Li Yunxing can also be regarded as a person in the new era, and the legends and religions of these gods, gods, ghosts, and ghosts are more misunderstandings that can only be caused by incomplete mastery of many scientific knowledge in ancient times.

For example, the ghost fire that is rumored to be phosphorus fire is actually phosphorus fire.

However, it is because burial was mostly practiced in ancient times, and calcium phosphate in human bones was converted into phosphine.

Phosphine is a gaseous substance with a very low ignition point, only 40 degrees, and will burn when in contact with air at room temperature. After it is generated, it emerges into the air along the cracks or holes in the ground, and burns with a blue light, which is called phosphorus fire.

Some people use the gods and demons just to cover up their crimes.

If Li Yunxing can't even see through this little trick, then how can he sit in this position.

But this time, he wronged Liu Zhongqing and Liu Ruxu, and it was impossible for the two of them to do such a thing.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Queen Liu was ill that day and refused to see guests, and even His Royal Highness the Prince's request for peace that day was refused."

Li Yunxing hooked his lips and smiled, "She refused this palace because she was afraid." ”

"But Queen Liu is the master of the harem after all, and there are countless people in the harem who want to tie her up."

"Ginkgo biloba is her maidservant, and it happened to be a sudden itch that day, just in case, you should go and investigate."

At the moment when Li Yunxing was ordering, Jiang He had already investigated from the inn where Ginkgo was staying, and immediately rushed back to the East Palace.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen has something important to report."

Li Yunxing nodded and motioned for him to speak bluntly.

"Because there were no signs of a fight in the room, the lowly priest handed over Ginkgo's corpse to the servant, and found that the knife mark on the broken arm of her right hand was very strange......"

Li Yunxing frowned, "What does this mean?" ”

Jiang He swallowed, "I suspect that Ginkgo cut off her right arm. ”

Cutting off your right arm?

What a vicious elixir.

"Moreover, only one person has been in and out of the Jiaofang Hall that day."

Li Yunxing's eyes instantly narrowed into a slit, and his cold gaze looked directly at the river.

"When did this palace teach you to speak so much?"

Jiang He immediately fell to his knees in fright, "My subordinates don't dare to deceive His Royal Highness the Prince, it's just that only His Royal Highness the Second Prince has been to the Jiaofang Hall that day." ”

Many people in the palace saw that His Royal Highness the Second Prince sent a jade couch made of cold ice jade to the queen. It's just that the lower officials feel that the second prince has no grievances and no enmity with Ginkgo, and the second prince clearly wants to befriend the queen, so why should he poison her. ”

"That's why I'm a little hesitant, I'm afraid that these things are not like this."

The second prince Li Yuntian?

Li Yunxing has always ignored his existence.

Before Li Yunxing came to this world, the second prince was the most favored prince in front of Emperor Wu.

If it weren't for the Wen Fight with the Chu State, Li Yunxing would have won the victory and won the Wen Kui. I'm afraid that the second prince has already been crowned the crown prince.

Combined with what happened before, it seems that all the confusion and problems have an outlet.

The second prince is backed by the Qin family, Qin Zhongyi has been dealing with the Xiongnu for a long time in the northeast camp, and it is normal if he can get some poison from the Huns.

What's more, Li Yunxing also killed Qin Zhongyi's son Qin Sheng before, and pulled out the shadow son he had cultivated in the northwest for many years.

In this way, the second prince does have the advantage of the right time, place and people.

This killed Su Zhaoyang, and then logically formed an alliance with Liu Ruxu, his abacus can be described as loud.

not only got rid of the troubles in his heart, but also curried favor with the queen and Zaisuke. It's just killing three birds with one stone!
