Yanmenchun

Chapter 29

The eighth princess was annoyed and said directly: "What do you mean? Explain clearly!"

The imperial physician quickly explained: "I checked Miss Zheng's nose and mouth, and found traces of drugs."

"A Furong?" The eighth princess looked shocked, but she didn't ask what is A Furong, which is very strange.

The crowd was discussing a lot, and Huo Xiangxiang couldn't help asking: "What is Afulong?"

The imperial doctor looked at the eighth princess, who was looking at the corpse with frowned eyebrows. Qin Wenyu, who had been watching the show by the side, said: "It's a kind of flower, the juice can be extracted, and taking it can make people addicted and make people hallucinate. Addicted people will go crazy if they don’t take Afulan during the addictive period, and they will suffocate to death, and just after taking Afulan will make people crazy.”

Princess Baoqing asked doubtfully, "Isn't that Wushi San?"

Before Qin Wenyu could speak, the imperial physician shook his head and said, "It's better than Wushi San."

In the previous dynasties, people who took more Wushi powder were addictive, and the death rate was extremely high. In the Jin Dynasty, Wushi powder was banned. Although Aphrodisiac is more powerful than Wushi powder, this kind of thing is rare, and only It is only found on the border of Yunnan, and it is basically impossible to see it in Kyoto.

Shen Tuchan pondered for a while and asked: "So, it's possible that Ms. Zheng took drugs?"

The imperial doctor nodded, but the eighth princess was full of anger: "It's nonsense, Miss Zheng is a boudoir lady, how could she die because of taking drugs here, someone must have hurt her!"

Everyone didn't dare to answer for a moment, the leader of the Jingdu guard over there also finished examining the body, walked over to the eighth princess and said: "Eighth princess, Miss Zheng's head is intact, her clothes are intact, it is true that she died of suffocation, but if someone forcefully If you cover your mouth and nose, bruises will appear on your face, and there is no trace of water on Ms. Zheng's body. She didn't die from drowning. If it wasn't because of drugs, it would be like "

He hesitated for a while, and the eighth princess said angrily, "What do you look like? Do you still want me to ask? Are you disabled? Kick and move!"

The leader hurriedly said: "Tiejiaguan!"

I'm afraid there are no people here who don't know this.

This is a kind of punishment. The prisoner is tied up, and the mulberry paper is slightly soaked in water and covered on the prisoner's face. The first time the face is covered, the prisoner may have difficulty breathing, and the second time the prisoner struggles with his hands and feet. When the fifth or sixth sheet is reached, people will suffocate to death.

These noble ladies and gentlemen have either heard of it or seen it with their own eyes. Even big families sometimes use it to punish maids and servants who have made serious mistakes.

Zheng Cuicui's appearance doesn't look like Tiejiaguan's at all, it may only be because of taking drugs.

The leader said again: "Where is Miss Zheng's maid? The maid knows a thing or two whether she has taken drugs or not."

Zheng Cuicui came out with a maid, but she was the only one here at this time, and the eighth princess immediately glared at the group of eunuchs: "Hurry up and find them!"

After the eighth princess lost her temper, she stared at Shen Tuchan with a gloomy expression, almost biting her into pieces, but Shen Tuchan just looked at her calmly.

After waiting for a long time, there was no sign of Zheng Cuicui's maid, and it was not an option to surround a group of people like this. The eighth princess could only announce the end of the banquet and let the others leave.

Shentuchan was about to leave, "Miss Shentu, you can't leave!" The eighth princess stared at Shentuchan and sternly said.

Everyone slowed down and listened carefully. Princess Baoqing and Huo Xiangxiang also stopped. Shen Tuchan turned her head and looked at the eighth princess in great confusion and asked, "Why?"

The eighth princess said angrily: "You and Miss Zheng have always been at odds, who knows if you hurt her!"

Shen Tuchan seemed to think her smile was a bit ridiculous: "Princess, I am also very sad that Miss Zheng passed away, but today I have been with the princess all the time. Besides, this is the first time I have come to the princess mansion. You mean, I am here If you don't know the way, you have to avoid the princess, find Miss Zheng, and kill her? Or, do you think I killed Miss Zheng together with the princess?"

Princess Baoqing has never taken Zheng Cuicui seriously. She just ignores anyone she doesn't like, and if she annoys her, she will be beaten up.

Everyone originally thought that there was a big show to watch, but when Shen Tuchan finished speaking, they looked at the eighth princess with strange eyes.

It was very similar to how she was anxious to get rid of Shen Tuchan, so she did not hesitate to put Zheng Cuicui's death on her head and pour dirty water on her.

Only Qin Wenyu, with unpredictable eyes, went back and forth between Tuchan and Princess Baoqing.

Princess Baoqing looked at the eighth princess like a lunatic: "Sister Eighth Emperor, you'd better let the imperial doctor see your madness."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and dragged Shen Tuchan away.

As soon as we arrived at the gate of the Princess Mansion, the carriage of Duke Ming and his wife had already arrived. His wife gritted her teeth when she saw Shen Tuchan. Shen Tuchan turned around and got into the carriage as if she didn't see her.

The aristocratic ladies and sons who came out here one after another, Mrs. Ming Guogong opened her mouth to say something, but was dragged in by Ming Guogong.

Shen Tuchan's carriage did not go back to Zhenbeihou Mansion, but drove to Qingfeng Teahouse.

Princess Baoqing and Huo Xiangxiang were already waiting for her. Xiao Man and Chun Equinox were both taken aback when they saw them. The two of them couldn't attend the banquet in the Princess Mansion, so they could only wait in the carriage. Shen Tuchan came out safe and sound. They also breathed a sigh of relief.

Now when he saw Princess Baoqing and Huo Xiangxiang, his heart went up again.

As soon as Shen Tuchan sat down, Princess Baoqing asked, "What happened?"

Shen Tuchan took a sip of tea with a normal expression: "What happened?"

She looked confused, Princess Baoqing was a little confused, Shen Tuchan smiled slightly, and said to the four of them: "Princess, nothing happened, have you forgotten?"

Princess Baoqing immediately understood what she meant, took a sip of the cup and smiled, she nodded and said, "I don't know how Sister Bahuang and Ming Guogong and his wife broke their faces!"

Shen Tuchan shook her head: "Not necessarily."

Huo Xiangxiang was about to speak when Shen Tuchan slammed the tea cup in her hand onto the wooden wall and said loudly, "Come out!"

The teacup fell heavily on the wall and fell to the ground and spun around a few times.

Xiao Man stood up vigilantly.

Before the others could speak, Shen Tuchan said loudly again: "Your Majesty, you are a man, what are you doing in hiding?"

The door of the tea room was gently pushed open, and Yan Wang Jiang Lan and Qin Wenyu were standing at the door.

Shen Tuchan's face was as usual, but her tone was a little bit bad: "Your Highness, you are really free! Why do I always meet you?"

King Yan glanced at the room and came in directly. Princess Baoqing was a little surprised when he saw him: "Fifth Brother?"

Yan Wang Jiang Lan ranked fifth.

Qin Wenyu also came in, and said to Shen Tuchan with a playful smile: "It may be because of fate."
