Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Ye Chutang pondered for a moment and checked every corner of the house again.

Apart from a few bloody scratches left by Xiao Lanxi on the bed before her death, there was nothing unusual elsewhere.

The guards in charge of guarding the place gave the same answer as the palace servant - they really didn't hear anything last night.

Even until dinner time, Xiao Lanxi used it as usual, no different from any other time.

After Ye Chutang finished his investigation, he ordered them to seal off the Yaohua Palace and returned to the Qiyuan Palace.

She recounted to Emperor Mu Wu everything she had seen and heard truthfully.

Emperor Mu Wu frowned, "So, she died of poisoning?"

Ye Chutang paused, "It looks like arsenic."

"Looks like?"

"Yes." Ye Chutang lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes. "I just did a simple check and did not perform an autopsy on Princess Yuhe, so I can only make a rough guess. But what is certain is that she should have died in the early morning, and she suffered a lot of torture before her death. But for some reason, she endured it all and did not make any noise. So it was not until the palace servants went to bring her food in the morning that they discovered that something had happened."

Emperor Mu Wu frowned even more tightly, "Could it be that she wanted to die?"

Ye Chutang shook her head, "I don't know."

Emperor Mu Wu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Then where did she find the poison?"

Ye Chutang paused.

"The poison must have been hidden in her teeth long ago, so it was not discovered during the body search."

"Poison hidden in teeth?"

Emperor Mu Wu was so angry that he laughed.
"She is really amazing! She is a princess, but she even resorted to such vicious means! Why, after doing something bad, she made preparations in advance to prevent the truth from being exposed? Her death is a relief!"

Ye Chutang didn't say anything.

It is not difficult to understand why Emperor Mu Wu was so angry.

He had never liked this daughter of foreign blood, and she had just been exposed for many absurd and evil things not long ago.

Emperor Mu Wu was harboring resentment towards her.

Even if she didn't die today, Emperor Mu Wu would not keep her for too long. But Xiao Lanxi suddenly chose to commit suicide, which undoubtedly tricked Emperor Mu Wu.

No matter how angry he was, he couldn't do anything about it.

But Emperor Mu Wu could not swallow this humiliation after all.

His face was gloomy, and he ordered in a cold voice, "Pass on my order! Xiao Lanxi framed my brother and committed suicide out of fear of punishment. His crime is unforgivable! From today on, he will be removed from the royal family! He will not be allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum!"

……

Half an hour later, Ye Chutang left the palace and took Xiaowu home in a carriage.

Xiaowu looked at her with some curiosity.

——Why does Sister look like she is worried? Did something happen to her in the palace today?
I hadn't walked far when I heard the eunuch's sharp, urging voice outside.

"Why not hurry up?"

Xiaowu came over, opened the curtain a little with one hand, and looked outside.

Ye Chutang's eyes moved slightly, and his gaze fell on Xiaowu's little face who was looking out with eyes wide open, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

Xiao Wu didn't think there was anything wrong. After seeing the situation over there clearly, he blinked, turned around to look at Ye Chutang, and pointed at her.

Ye Chutang looked outside and saw several palace servants hurriedly walking out with a corpse wrapped in a mat.

A strand of long hair hangs down, it seems to be a woman, and a touch of luxurious clothes can be vaguely seen.

Such things are not uncommon in the palace.

If I'm not mistaken, the person inside... is Xiao Lanxi.

Ye Chutang withdrew his gaze.

I'm afraid no one could have imagined that a princess would end up like this.

The carriage continued to move forward, getting farther and farther away.

Suddenly, Ye Chutang's heart skipped a beat.
"Wait!" (End of this chapter)
