"Female corpse?"

The little eunuch was waiting at the gate of the palace with a roar, something must have happened urgently. And the intersection between Xu Qi'an and him is only the case of Concubine Fu. Then the female corpse must be related to the Fu Concubine case.

Xu Qi'an squinted, and his heart moved: "Is it the missing palace maid in the Concubine Fu case?"

The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, and was convinced: "The adult is really clever, and the five-body body that the slave admires is thrown to the ground." ”

This sentence is both a compliment and a heartfelt one. After two consecutive days of supervision, the little father-in-law found that Xu Qi'an was a famous arrester who seemed to be exaggerated on the outside, but his wisdom was too ordinary.

It's not a magic trick, it's a very simple reasoning........ Xu Qi'an nodded and said, "Take me to see the corpse." ”

The little eunuch was busy leading the way.

"In which well was the body found?"

"The backyard of the Crab Pavilion. ”

"Crab Pavilion?"

Xu Qi'an said something to break the name.

"The Crab Pavilion is where the palace ladies live. The little eunuch replied.

Palace maids are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the palace maids with high status are called female officials, and even have grades and titles, such as Jieyu, beauty, talent, royal maid, maid and so on.

This kind of palace maid has the hope of being lucky by the emperor and becoming an instant hit. Of course, during the reign of Emperor Yuan Jing, none of them wanted to come out.

The second class is the palace maid who serves by the side of the concubine.

The lowest class is the handyman who lives in a large dormitory.

The Crab Pavilion is a palace maid's dormitory.

As he walked, he soon came to the morgue in the palace, in a secluded courtyard in the south, where the corpses of those who had been executed, died of illness, or died of accident were parked in the palace.

On the rudimentary bed, a slightly bloated corpse with a blistered body remained.

"You go get the knives, I'm going to dissect the corpse. Xu Qi'an commanded.

In his previous life, when he was on an errand in the Yamen, he was often sent to observe forensic autopsies and serve as assistants. We have accumulated a lot of expertise and experience.

From the initial frightened vomiting to slowly accepting it, and then to the unchanging face, Xu Qi'an vaguely found that he liked dissection.

After coming to this world, I encountered many cases, but there were not many opportunities to dissect.

"Concubine Fu is the old emperor's woman, I can't touch it, I can always disembowel, this little palace maid, right...... It would be nice if it could be fresher. ”

While thinking, he unbuttoned the palace maid's clothes.

"Dog minion, dog minion, why didn't you send someone to inform me when you entered the palace......"

Princess Lin'an's cheerful voice came from outside, and then, a red shadow rushed to stop at the door.

"What are you doing?"

Lin An looked at Xu Qi'an holding the belly pocket of the female corpse in his hand, and the bright smile on his face froze.

Behind him, Huaiqing, who was fluttering in a white dress, stepped into the threshold, glanced at Xu Qi'an, and then his eyes fell on his belly pocket.

It's a little embarrassing...... Xu Qi'an's face did not change: "Check the corpse, I plan to dissect it." ”

"Don't touch something so disgusting. ”

Framed and stomped her feet repeatedly, she glanced at the naked upper body of the female corpse, and immediately retracted her gaze.

In this regard, Princess Huaiqing took the same view and gave a suggestion: "Why don't you let the servants do it?"

Because I love doing it....... Xu Qi'an shook his head solemnly and explained seriously: "Two highnesses, you know that you must bow down to your own affairs, be meticulous in your work, and if you can do it yourself, you will not fake others." In the eyes of others, this is a good quality of diligence, but in the eyes of lowly duties, it is indeed an ordinary thing that is not worth mentioning. ”

Framing admires Xu Qi'an's work attitude. Huaiqing was expressionless, as if he didn't believe his nonsense.

"The two highnesses will go back to drink tea first, wait a while, don't stay here. "Xu Qi'an wants to drive people away.

When Huaiqing heard this, he didn't leave, but walked in front of the female corpse.

"The body was salvaged last night, and after identifying Huang Xiaorou, it was taken away by Father-in-law Chang. Huaiqing said:

"I'd like to stay and see, maybe I can get a clue from the corpse. ”

Huaiqing seems to be very interested in brain-based work, playing chess, revising history, and now solving cases........ Xu Qi'an turned his head and silently looked at the eldest princess's clear and beautiful eyes.

Huaiqing's eyes were slightly condensed, and he looked at him, and his voice had the texture of ice cubes, which was extremely pleasant: "Huh?"

A simple "um" implies the meaning: Little brother, do you have an opinion?

Xu Qi'an retracted his gaze, no longer looked at the flawless face of the eldest princess, turned his head to frame it and said, "Your Royal Highness." ”

Framed glanced at Huaiqing, and said with some hesitation: "What is this, I will stay too." ”

"Okay!"

Xu Qi'an happily stripped the female corpse.

The framed face turned red, then white, and walked away.

"Second Highness, don't you stay and watch?" Xu Qi'an shouted.

Framed and covered his face, as fine as a mosquito: "Gone, gone....."

Huaiqing glanced at the female corpse, although it was well hidden, Xu Qi'an still saw the embarrassment in those cold and clear eyes.

This kind of embarrassment is like Xu Qi'an used to watch TV with his parents, and it happened to be broadcast to the hero and heroine in bed

With a perfect appearance and top-of-the-line configuration, the core is very powerful, that is, the number of kilometers is almost zero....... Xu Qi'an made an evaluation in his heart.

If Huaiqing is compared to a top-of-the-line sports car, it has just left the factory.

Then the mounting is a model car, the appearance is not good, the kernel is not good...... It's hard to put into words.

However, for men, it is probably framing that this kind of coquettish, flattering, and not too smart woman is more popular.

"What is this?"

Huaiqing found a dull yellow silk from the intimate clothes of the palace maid Huang Xiaorou, embroidered with a red and bright lotus flower, and a line of small characters:

The thirty-first spring of Yuanjing.

"Before she died, she kept it close to her, which showed that it was an extremely important thing to her. ”

Huaiqing looked at Xu Qi'an, as if he was seeking verification, and said, "What does Lord Xu think?"

Xu Qi'an said "um".

The corners of Huaiqing's mouth turned up slightly.

"Your Highness is so smart, why don't you come and see this female corpse, what can you see?"

Huaiqing couldn't help but glance at him, Xu Qi'an looked like she was going to take the exam, and couldn't help but restrain the curvature of the corners of her mouth, and her emotions of not admitting defeat swelled.

"Based on the degree to which the body was white and swollen, she did not throw herself into the well after the crime. Huaiqing made a judgment.

"Within two days. Xu Qi'an gave a more accurate reply.

"There were no obvious external injuries on her body, so she should have drowned, probably knocked unconscious. After speaking, the beautiful eldest princess subconsciously looked at Xu Qi'an.

Seeing that his face was expressionless and did not reply, Her Royal Highness the princess was a little unhappy, and when she lowered her head, she gently pursed the corners of her mouth.

"Anything else?" asked Xu Qi'an.

Huaiqing thought about it and shook his head slightly.

"You are missing the most important step, usually when examining a female corpse, even if there are obvious signs of death, but never forget to examine the ......."

Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows at Huaiqing, revealing a hehehehe.

Huaiqing was stunned for a moment, and then, seeing Xu Qi'an's gaze fall on the forbidden place, he was as smart as her, and immediately understood.

Swish.....

The fair-skinned face immediately turned red, and the eldest princess's willow eyebrows rose upside down, and she gritted her teeth: "Xu Ningyan, you dare to tease the palace!"

Xu Qi'an really admitted his mistake and was sincere: "I don't mean to offend my humble position, and the princess forgives me." ”

Huaiqing turned sideways, saying that he did not accept his apology, and was very angry in his heart.

It is much more rewarding to tease the proud and cold princess than to tease Lin'an....... Huaiqing's style when he was angry has a different taste........ Xu Qi'an coughed and said:

"Yes, she drowned, but not in a well, she was pressed into the water and suffocated. ”

"How can you see it?" Huaiqing didn't believe it, turned his head, and asked.

Well, as long as academic issues are discussed, she will not be angry for a while....... Female school bullies also have the weaknesses of female school bullies...... Xu Qi'an silently wrote it down, and explained quietly:

"You see her face is purple-red, and the normal drowning person is even miserable white and swollen. The face will only be congested if the person is pressed in the water, the posture is headed down, and the blood flows back to the head when he dies. ”

Huaiqing frowned and made a thoughtful gesture.

"Another point," Xu Qi'an grabbed the wrist of the female corpse, "Look at her hands, clenched into fists, which is in line with the characteristics of drowning." But if you look closely, there is no sand or moss between her fingernails. ”

Huaiqing looked at it, and the cracks between his nails were really clean.

"Does that mean she did drown, but not in the well?" she asked.

"Your Highness is so smart, compared to you, His Highness Lin'an is just a sister. Xu Qi'an arched his hand and expressed his admiration.

Although he knew that he was complimenting himself, Huaiqing still felt comfortable.

People love to listen to good words, and saints are no exception. What's more, Princess Huaiqing has always been proud, she will disdain flattery on the surface, but she will be secretly happy in her heart.

Huaiqing let out a reserved "um".

"Therefore, she was silenced. Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess then added.

Xu Qi'an nodded, and at the same time heard the faint sound of footsteps, looked up at the door, and saw the little eunuch coming over with a knife to dissect the corpse from a distance.

The sound of hurried footsteps rushed into the threshold, and the first reaction of the little eunuch when he saw the female corpse was to scream sharply: Ah~

"The little father-in-law has never seen a woman, come on, come on, this official will give you a physiology lesson. Xu Qi'an teased in an old bastard-like tone.

The little eunuch ignored it, a little embarrassed, lowered his head, and put the knife on the long table.

There were six knives, of varying sizes and thicknesses, wrapped in thick linen.

Xu Qi'an wanted to lick his lips and express his inner expectations, but he felt that this posture was too ghostly and it was not good to show it in front of Huaiqing, so he had to endure it.

Really, when I'm doing some hobbies, I don't like to be watched....... He chose a dagger-sized, single-edged knife, and the tip of the knife was pressed against the female corpse's throat, slicing open the throat.

A slightly murky stream of water flowed out.

"Vomit ......."

The tender red flesh was exposed to the sight, and the little eunuch covered his mouth and couldn't help retching.

Xu Qi'an then changed to a big knife, cut open his chest, and cut open his lungs......

"Vomit ....." The little eunuch escaped.

Sure enough, giving a physiology lesson to a eunuch is nothing to talk about.

Huaiqing's jade-carved face showed a very vivid expression - horror and disgust. Eyelashes trembled, and he glanced away.

"There was also fluid in the lungs, and the cause of death could be confirmed, it was drowning. Xu Qi'an put down the knife.

Huaiqing bowed his head and said, "Is there anything else I need to check?"

"No, Your Highness, let's leave. Xu Qi'an said, and suddenly said "Huh".

Huaiqing, who had already turned his head and was about to leave, looked back, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing?"

Xu Qi'an was playing with the ru's room to the left of the female corpse, at least in Huaiqing's opinion.

"She's been hurt. Xu Qi'an frowned, and when he spoke, he turned the ru room up so that Huaiqing could see the situation under his breasts.

Huaiqing was stunned.

This palace maid named Huang Xiaorou has a deep scar under her left breast, which is directly opposite the heart.

She immediately knew that she was wrong to blame Xu Qi'an, and she also understood his doubts:

How could a palace maid be so dangerously injured? Bizarrely, she survived?

Xu Qi'an spread out the burlap again, held the largest knife, and cut open the chest of the female corpse along the scar.

Huaiqing looked like he wanted to see it but was afraid of spicy eyes.

Xu Qi'an took off his heart, squinted for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Judging from the scar, the wound is very deep, and the weapon should be scissors or other sharp objects." Having touched the heart, she should have died of massive blood loss. ”

Huaiqing nodded, looked out of the door, and analyzed: "The medicine that can heal this wound can only be used by the queen mother and the concubines of the noble concubine rank in the harem."

"If the rest of the people need the elixir to save their lives, they need to be allowed by the queen mother, or they have been rewarded by their father, and they do not need to be misappropriated from the treasury. ”

Among the "rest" she said, she naturally did not include princes and princesses.

When the two left the morgue, there was a well in the yard, and Xu Qi'an took a bucket of water and washed his hands carefully.

Then, he scrubbed the piece of yellow silk found on the woman's body a few times, spread it out and hung it by the well.

"You sue one of the errand keepers in charge of the morgue, the corpse in it, the official is still useful, send it to the ice cellar. Xu Qi'an sent the little eunuch away.

"Xu Ningyan, help the palace fetch a bucket of water. Princess Huaiqing stood aside prettyly.

According to her title, Xu Qi'an judged that she was in a good mood at this time, and when she was polite, she called Lord Xu. When he was angry, he shouted Xu Ningyan.

At this time, Huaiqing's tone was definitely not angry, so this Xu Ningyan was a bit of a friend.

Xu Qi'an brought her a bucket of water, Huaiqing squatted down, lifted up her long sleeves, and a pair of white little hands were soaked in the water, and her green and jade fingers were slender and well-proportioned.

Little hands are so beautiful...... He said in his heart.

After soaking his hands, Huaiqing took out the brocade to wipe off the water stains, and said, "This palace will take you to the imperial pharmacy." ”

Xu Qi'an was about to nod, but at this time, a thought suddenly popped up in his heart, why did he throw his corpse into the Crab Pavilion?

In the palace, there are more hidden ones, such as in the cold palace, such as the well in the morgue.

"Let's go to Crab Court first. ”

Lin'an, who was in the distance, saw the two of them coming out, walked briskly to meet them, and said, "What did you find?"

"It's really rewarding. Xu Qi'an told her about the findings of the autopsy, Lin An nodded while listening, her little face was very focused, but after Xu Qi'an finished speaking, her attention immediately shifted, obviously the left ear went in and the right ear went out.

Lin'an pointed to the pale yellow silk hanging by the well, and said in surprise: "Dog minion, the lotus statue on this doesn't look like you........."

Before the words fell, Xu Qi'an suddenly screamed, covered his head, and rolled on the ground.

Framed and Huaiqing were startled, and said eagerly: "What's wrong with you?"

"Head, my head hurts...... Xu Qi'an hugged his head in pain, and did not hesitate to let his mink hat fall, revealing his bare brain, which showed that he really had a splitting headache.

"You wait, this palace will immediately go to the imperial doctor. "Framed anxious stomping. As soon as he turned around, he twisted the waist of the water snake and ran away.

Princess Huaiqing saw that her annoying sister was gone, so she didn't put on a fight, squatted down beside him, and held her pulse: "This palace is a little better at medical skills......

As soon as he touched the pulse, it was indeed beating very fast, and Xu Tonggong's heartbeat must have intensified at this moment.

"Your Royal Highness....." Xu Qi'an held Huaiqing's soft thorn instead, and said bitterly: "Since I stepped into the realm of refining gods, I have a headache from time to time, Wei Gong said that it is the reason for the restlessness of the Yuan Shen, maybe when, the Yuan Shen will die from the body." ”

Huaiqing was taken aback, she didn't know about it, so she didn't immediately withdraw her little hand.

When he ordered the guards to ask for a doctor, and when he returned to the courtyard, he found Xu Qi'an patting the dust on his body without changing his face.

The nasty Huaiqing squatted by the barrel and washed his hands.

"Are you alright?" said Framed in amazement.

"It's okay, it's labor pains, it'll be fine in a while. Xu Qi'an waved his hand tiredly.

Call..... I almost overturned, but fortunately, Lao Tzu reacted quickly. Otherwise, if the sisters knew that I had written the same love letter to them and sent the same lotus petals, Huaiqing would not be able to bear it, and I would not be able to bear it....... Favorability must have hit rock bottom....... Xu Qi'an did a beautiful job, not only stabilized the steering wheel, but also held Huaiqing's little hand...... He cheered for himself in his heart.

Huaiqing lowered his head and didn't speak, his little hands were pinched red, as if there was still Xu Qi'an's temperature.

The framed fox looked at him suspiciously.

.........

The Crab Pavilion is on the west side of the palace, far away from the palace where the concubines gathered, and it is a large courtyard house.

At this hour, the palace maids had already left the Crab Pavilion and went to work in various parts of the palace. There is only one housekeeper, lying on a big chair basking in the morning sun of early spring.

The age spots on her face are clearly distinguished in the sun, her body is out of shape, her hair is gray, and she simply inserts a hosta.

"Mama Yung, Mama Yung......"

The little eunuch shouted a few times, and the old lady woke up quietly.

Mama Rong?!

Xu Qi'an's childhood memories were evoked, and a famous line involuntarily appeared in his mind:

Your Majesty, do you remember Mama Rong on the shore of Daming Lake?

"The two highnesses have come down. The little eunuch said.

Mama Rong looked at it, and sure enough, the two most beautiful princesses in the palace came together.

She got up with an agile speed that did not suit her age, and shouted as she saluted, "The old slave has seen two highnesses. ”

Huaiqing looked at her and said, "This palace accompanied Lord Xu to come over to investigate the case, and it is about the female corpse that was fished out of the well today, you can say whatever you know." ”

Mama Rong nodded yes.

Seeing this, Xu Qi'an was no longer silent and asked, "Who fished up the corpse and when did you find it?"

"It was Xiaoyu who found out, this morning she went to the well to fetch water, and noticed that the sound of the bucket falling into the water was wrong, a little dull, lying at the mouth of the well and watching for a long time, hey, it turned out to be a corpse. The old lady's expression was very excited.

Xu Qi'an pointed to the stone well under the locust tree: "Is that the one?"

"yes. ”

He walked to the well and looked inside, the well was deep, his vision was dim, and the well water was like a mirror.

With the eyes of ordinary people, it would indeed take a long time to find a corpse in such a dark well.

"Didn't anyone find out yesterday?" Xu Qi'an frowned.

The body of the palace maid Huang Xiaorou was definitely soaked in water for more than 24 hours.

"Speaking of this, I was angry, this morning I found a dead person in the well, and those dead girls said, no wonder the sound was strange when the day before yesterday when I fetched water...... "The old lady was angry when she mentioned this, and scolded:

"None of them pulled out their eyeballs and put them in quietly, causing the old slave to drink the corpse water for two days. ”

Framed with a disgusted face.

The corners of Xu Qi'an's mouth twitched: "Mama, do you know that Huang Xiaorou." ”

The old lady was stunned: "What is Huang?"

Xu Qi'an said: "Huang Xiaorou." ”

Mama's eyes widened: "What Xiaorou?"

Xu Qi'an said angrily: "I'm not asking you Ma Dongmei, you don't have to reply to me like this." ”

Mama thought for a long time, and suddenly realized: "The old slave just reconfirmed and confirmed, and the old slave Huang Xiaorou recognized and recognized." ”

Huaiqing's eyes lit up, and she understood the reason why Xu Qi'an wanted to come to Crab Pavilion.

What kind of brain is this little gong, it turns so fast.

"Do you know her?" Xu Qi'an reminded: "She is the palace maid next to Concubine Fu, how can you know her." ”
