kingly way

Chapter 112 Chapter 112

Yongmei took Cao Fang into Yu Wenwan's bedroom, and Jin Yuanhong was anxiously waiting for their arrival.

When Cao Fang saw Jin Yuanhong was there, his heart pounded and he became nervous.
Then he calmed down and took Yu Wenwan's pulse; a happy look appeared on his face.

"Doctor Cao, what's wrong with Wan'er?"

Jin Yuanhong has been watching the color change on Cao Fang's face.

Cao Fang knew clearly that Jin Yuanhong would show such concern only if he had an important position in Jin Yuanhong's heart.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and Madam Yu..."

Cao Fang suddenly bowed to Jin Yuanhong and saluted;

"Doctor Cao, Madam is sick, where does this happiness come from?"

Jin Yuanhong asked Cao Fang in puzzlement;
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Madam is happy."

Cao Fang saluted Jin Yuanhong again;
"Ah! Doctor Cao, what did you say? Wan'er is happy?" Jin Yuanhong asked in surprise;

"Yes, Madam Yu is happy."

Cao Fang repeated it. He suppressed his beating heart and sneaked a glance at Yongmei, only to see her staring blankly at everything in front of her.

"Haha... This king is going to add a prince again?! Haha..."

Jin Yuanhong laughed out loud after hearing this;
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison;

Yu Wenwan looked around at everyone, and then at Jin Yuanhong, showing a slight smile.

……

Knowing that Yu Wenwan is happy, Jin Yuanhong immediately ran to Yongle Palace, fearing that Yu Wenwan might make a mistake.

"Your Majesty, you are quite busy with court affairs, and now my concubine can't share your worries, and I want you to come here every day, my concubine is really uncomfortable."

Yu Wenwan looked at Jin Yuanhong gently and said.

"Hey, how can Wan'er say such a thing! The most important thing now is your health, which is what the widows are looking forward to." Jin Yuanhong said with a slight smile.

"The king is so considerate to my concubine, but my concubine doesn't know how to repay the emperor." Yu Wenwan said softly;

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty is not good..."

Gao Changshi ran in in a panic and said;

"Bold, didn't you see that Wan'er is here too? Can you afford to startle Wang'erbao by shouting so loudly?" Jin Yuanhong said unhappily;

"Yes," Gao Changshi hurriedly bowed;

"What's so flustered?" Jin Yuanhong Mansi asked logically;

"My lord, Mrs. Qu hanged herself." Gao Changshi said hastily;

"What? She...she...hanged herself?"

Jin Yuanhong suddenly stood up,
"Madam Qu hanged herself."

Eunuch Gao raised his voice slightly and repeated what he said just now.

"Quick, take the widow to have a look."

Jin Yuanhong didn't ask where he hanged himself.

Seeing the back of Jin Yuanhong walking out, Yu Wenwan knew that this amorous Jin Yuanhong would still not forget Mrs. Qu.

"Your Majesty, is this concubine also going to have a look with your Majesty?" Yu Wenwan also stood up;

"No, Wan'er already has a prince, so stay in the palace and don't go out." Jin Yuanhong looked at Yu Wenwan and said;
"Your Majesty, although my concubine and Mrs. Qu are not closely related, they are related because they serve the king together. Now she is going ahead with my concubine. If my concubine does not accompany the king, outsiders will criticize my concubine. , my concubine's heart is also uneasy." Yu Wenwan said;

"Even though Wan'er said so, the widow is still worried about Wan'er's body." Jin Yuanhong looked at Yu Wenwan and said;
"Recently, under the care of the king, my concubine is in good health. The king will not even be willing to help fulfill this concubine's wish, and let my concubine regret it?" Yu Wenwan said earnestly again;
"In that case, then Wan'er will go with the widow, but you have to be careful."

Hearing Yu Wenwan's sincerity, Jin Yuanhong felt that his words were not unreasonable, so he reluctantly agreed;
"Concubine, thank you, Your Majesty."

Yu Wenwan smiled and saluted Jin Yuanhong.

Yu Wenwan followed Jin Yuanhong to Yunding Palace, and Mrs. Qu had already been released.

Seeing Concubine Qu, Yu Wenwan immediately burst into tears.

"Mrs. Qu, Your Majesty has already transferred you from Nanqiu Palace to Yunding Palace, why are you still thinking about it?"

Yu Wenwan whimpered, her expression changed suddenly, she stopped crying, approached Mrs. Qu, and glanced at her neck; then she walked to Bu Ling, looked up at the beams and pillars of the house again, and then went back to Next to Mrs. Qu, he grabbed her hand and looked at it in detail...

"Wan'er, what's the matter with you?" Jin Yuanhong asked;
"Oh, the concubine is fine? I just don't feel well." Yu Wenwan replied;
"Then you go back to rest first?"

After Jin Yuanhong finished speaking, he ordered the servants to help Yu Wenwan back to Yongle Palace.

……

Not long after Yu Wenwan returned to Yongle Palace, Jin Yuanhong also rushed over.

"Wan'er, how is your body now?"

As soon as Jin Yuanhong saw Yu Wenwan, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is fine, it's just..."

Yu Wenwan stopped after speaking halfway.

"Just what's the matter?"

Seeing that Yu Wenwan stopped talking, Jin Yuanhong hurriedly asked.

"My concubine just thinks Mrs. Qu's death is strange." Yu Wenwan said;

"What? Wan'er, what did you say?"

Jin Yuanhong asked in surprise.

"Madam Qu died strangely." Yu Wenwan said.

"Wan'er, what did you find? You said take a look?"

Jin Yuanhong asked; he knew that if Yu Wenwan hadn't found any evidence, she wouldn't say it casually, let alone say it so resolutely.

"Just now when my concubine accompanied the king to see Mrs. Qu, she accidentally discovered a problem."

"What's the problem?" Jin Yuanhong asked hastily.

"Beside Mrs. Qu, there are no chairs or other things that can be used as a footrest."

"Oh, this widow didn't notice. Is there anything to step on?" Jin Yuanhong nodded thoughtfully.

"Madam Qu couldn't possibly have jumped up and put herself in the silk circle to commit suicide!" Yu Wenwan said;

"Jumped up and put himself in the silk circle to commit suicide? It's impossible." Jin Yuanhong said;

"It's impossible for Mrs. Qu to remove the footsteps after death." Yu Wenwan said;

"Well, how can a dead person move a table." Jin Yuanhong said;

"My lord, what does this mean?" Yu Wenwan looked at Jin Yuanhong and asked.

"Homicide... yes, Mrs. Qu was murdered." Jin Yuanhong suddenly realized.

"Wang Shang Shengming, these questions show that Mrs. Qu was hanged after being killed." Yu Wenwan said.

"Hanged up? Well, Wan'er's analysis makes sense."

Jin Yuanhong nodded and asked;

"Your Majesty, my concubine saw that there were traces of rubbing on the cloth silk that fell to the ground. The paint color of the rubbing marks on the cloth silk was the same as the color of the beams and pillars of the roof. It went up, and the paint on the cloth silk came off because it rubbed against the beams and pillars during the hanging process." Yu Wenwan said.

"Ah."

Jin Yuanhong nodded again.

"The concubine saw Mrs. Qu's feet just now, and found that her toes and heels were almost in balance. If she hanged herself, her toes should droop and appear lower than the heels." Yu Wenwan said;

"Well, Wan'er is really smart, and she is as careful as a hair, observing meticulously."

Jin Yuanhong nodded in praise;
"Also, my concubine found a groove on Mrs. Qu's neck." Yu Wenwan said.

"There is Legou, is this left from hanging?" Jin Yuanhong said disapprovingly.

"The strangle is only slight and not obvious. It is obviously not left by hanging, if it is left by hanging, it must be deep and obvious; it shows that Mrs. Qu was strangled to death with a wide soft cloth belt. "

"Well, it makes sense." Jin Yuanhong nodded again to express his appreciation.

"When my concubine touched Mrs. Qu, Mrs. Qu's fingers were bent, and her forearms were bent upwards. Although there were traces of being straightened, the original shape remained unchanged." Yu Wenwan said;

"What does this mean?" Jin Yuanhong asked puzzled;
"After a person dies, the muscles of the body gradually harden, and naturally cannot be straightened after a certain period of time. Concubine Qu's hand was forced to straighten, and her forearm still maintained a certain upward posture." Yu Wenwan said;

"The widow still doesn't understand, what does this have to do with Mrs. Qu's hanging?"

The more Jin Yuanhong listened, the more confused he became;
"Your Majesty, if a person wants to hang himself, will she hold on to the rope hanging around her neck?" Yu Wenwan asked;

"No. But what if she wants to reach out and grab it because of the pain of suffocation?" Jin Yuanhong asked;

"Even if you grab it because of the pain of suffocation, the arm will fall due to its own weight after suffocation." Yu Wenwan said;

"It seems that Mrs. Qu was really killed." Jin Yuanhong said;

"Yes, Mrs. Qu was strangled to death from behind." Yu Wenwan said.

"Strangle it from behind, how can you see it?"

Jin Yuanhong asked puzzledly, strangling others usually strangles from behind, but hanging is different.

"There are two finger indentations on her neck. This is the mark of her resistance when she was strangled. She grabbed the rope with her hands and was strangled to her neck. When a person hangs himself, he must not put his fingers and neck into the rope together."

Yu Wenwan looked at Jin Yuanhong and said;
"Wrap your fingers and neck into the rope? This is impossible for anyone who has hanged themselves." Jin Yuanhong said;

"The symptoms of suicide by hanging are that the side of the force is deep, the sides are gradually shallower, and finally there is a clear symptom of lifting. The concubine found that Mrs. Qu's hanging marks were horizontal, even, encircling, and closed, and there was no phenomenon of lifting. It doesn't fit the common sense of hanging yourself." Yu Wenwan said;

"Well, Wan'er's careful observation is enough to prove that Mrs. Qu was killed." Jin Yuanhong asked;

"There are stronger evidences that can prove Mrs. Qu was killed." Yu Wenwan said;

"Oh, there are other more powerful evidences, Wan'er, would you like to see?"

Jin Yuanhong asked in surprise;
"The hanging rope will leave marks on the neck, and this mark is on the top of the neck upwards, while Mrs. Qu's strangle marks are in the middle of the neck and backwards." Yu Wenwan said;

"Well, this is not in line with the reason for hanging yourself." Jin Yuanhong said;

"Furthermore, there are no bruises on Concubine Qu's neck. When a person is alive, blood flows upwards in the body, and if she is hanged to death, there must be traces of bruises on the traces of the hanging rope. This is caused by the obstruction of blood circulation, and Mrs. Qu's bruises The strangle marks on the back indicate that the blood was blocked when she was hanged, that is to say, she was hanged after she died." Yu Wenwan said;

"Wan'er's analysis makes sense. These have fully demonstrated that Mrs. Qu was killed by others." Jin Yuanhong said;

"There is also this cloth silk thread between Mrs. Qu's nails, which was left when she grabbed Bu Ling when she was suffering from suffocation."

"Oh, struggling before death, it's normal to catch Bu Ling." Jin Yuanhong said.

"But the concubine found out that the thread caught in Mrs. Qu's fingernails was not the same quality as the cloth used to hang herself. The thread held in her fingernails was the thread that strangled her. As long as the owner of the thread is found, the murderer can be found." Yu Wenwan said;

"Well, Wan'er is smart, so she found so many suspicious points at a glance, so it proves that Mrs. Qu did not commit suicide but was killed?" Jin Yuanhong nodded and said;

"When my concubine entered the door and found that there was no footstep beside Mrs. Qu, she suspected that there was something wrong with Mrs. Qu's hanging. Therefore, my concubine decided to examine Mrs. Qu's neck in detail, and my concubine was even more sure." Yu Wenwan replied.

"Okay, okay... Wan'er is really careful and intelligent." Jin Yuanhong called "Okay" repeatedly.
