Playful Queen

Chapter 318

In the examination room of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there was a gust of gloomy wind, whistling past, making people feel chills on the back. Two headhunters walked in front with lanterns, leading the way for Prime Minister Nangong. Mengli was dressed as an eunuch, indicating that the emperor asked her to come forward. When they came to investigate, the people from the criminal department did not dare to be negligent. When they pushed the door of the autopsy room, there was a pungent smell of medicine, which was used to cover up the smell of the corpse.

"Master Prime Minister, this is Master Yun's corpse." The head catcher lifted off the white cloth on the corpse, and immediately revealed Yun Feiyang's pale face, which was still tinged with poisonous cyan. Painful look.

The three looked at it, and after confirming that it was Yun Feiyang, Nangong Jin turned around and said, "You guys wait outside first."

"Yes, that subordinate is outside. If you have something to do, call your subordinate." The two police officers retreated respectfully, and Mengli, who was wearing a eunuch uniform, stepped forward, while Dongfang Shuo quickly lifted the entire cloth , began to examine the corpse, but Mengli took the record book handed over by Nangong Jin and flipped through it.

It was recorded that the body was unharmed and stiff without any resistance. It should have died of poisoning. Seeing this, Mengli closed the record book, and Dongfang Shuo's voice just happened to sound: "Master, we have found a fatal injury."

He lifted Yun Feiyang's hair, and gently pulled out a silver needle from the dense hair. He didn't expect it to be placed in such a tight place. He thought he died from eating poison, but seeing this, it was not. .

Mengli took the silver needle, and the needle was jet black. Obviously, although Yun Feiyang was poisoned, someone did insert the silver needle into his brain, and died of the poison.

"Master, smell the needle. This method is a method of killing in southern Xinjiang. The poisonous needle enters the brain and will accelerate death. People have no time to react, so why is there no slight pain on Yun Feiyang's face. "

It has something to do with Nanjiang again. Did Mengli wrinkle up? Just as she was thinking about it, she saw that the wooden bed began to seep water, dripping on the ground. Obviously, it came from the corpse, "Dongfang Shuo , do you see what's going on here?"

Dongfang Shuo squatted down, took out a piece of handkerchief, dipped some on a puddle of water on the ground, looked at the oil lamp, and explained: "It smells like a kind of medicine. I don't know it very well. Xiangduxiu should be able to smell it." Know."

Mengli accepted the handkerchief, and after returning to the palace, she asked Xiang Duxiu, and then the three of them continued to follow the clues on Yun Feiyang's body. It was not until midnight that Mengli hurried back to the palace with Dongfang Shuo, and went straight into the Qianqing Palace .

The night was getting deeper and deeper, Mengli was sitting beside Zi Yechen's bed, her face under the light was white and clear, she looked at the notes that Dongfang Shuo took after examining the corpse today, but she couldn't find anything at all, she pressed the button tiredly. An's nose bridge, she must find the person who harmed Zi Yechen.

Xiao Quanzi watched from the side, and persuaded him a few times, seeing that the empress still didn't go to rest, so he didn't say any more, everyone knew how much the empress was burdened now, inside and outside the palace, inside and outside the imperial court, inside and outside Jintian , she has to hide what happened to the emperor, and she has to track down the person in the dark, and, except for a few people, the people around her can't believe it, because when the thing is not found out, everyone has possible.

After changing the empress to a cup of hot tea, he quietly backed away. At this time, the door was opened again, and it was Xiang Duxiu who walked in. He would usually come in every hour to feel Zi Yechen's pulse, watching The master was still sitting at the table without taking a break, stepped forward and said worriedly: "Master, why don't you rest first, I'll just watch over here."

"No need, I'm not sleepy, Xiangduxiu, let's see what kind of medicine is on it." She said, she handed the veil that she brought out from the autopsy room to Xiangduxiu, he smelled it, and then , unfolded the veil and put it on the table, took out a bottle of something unknown from the sleeve, dripped a few drops of transparent water in the bottle, and saw that the veil was blue and mixed with black. took a look.

"Master, this is a kind of medicine that can preserve the corpse in good condition. It is a medicine for preserving corpses in the Western Regions. It is impossible for ordinary people to know about it. It is recorded in Grandpa's notes. This medicine itself is blue. Afterwards, keep it in ice, no matter how many years it will be intact, but when the body leaves the ice, the body will ooze water, which is a transparent color, as long as you use this bottle of chemical potion, it can show its original color, but master, look, There is still this black in the blue, so after the person died of poisoning, someone used this medicine to preserve the body, and judging from the color above, the medicine has a large amount, and it is believed that the body has been preserved for at least a few years. "Xiang Duxiu's every knowledge was taught by his grandfather. The Xiang family has been passed down from generation to generation. But in his grandfather's generation, he would record many rare medicines. He hopes that one day his grandson can learn them well. Find a way to undo the poison that grandpa couldn't undo before, that's why, Xiang's lineage is very poisonous, but detoxification is even more powerful.

Listening to Xiang Duxiu's words, Mengli flipped through the notes, and suddenly found an outlet in her heart: that is to say, Yun Feiyang has been dead for several years, and it is not Yun Feiyang who has been working by the emperor's side these few years. Feiyang was the person behind the scenes. After this incident, he thought that Yun Feiyang's identity had been exposed, so he wanted to move Yun Feiyang's body out to pretend that he was murdered. However, he was already dead.

So, who is the person pretending to be Yun Feiyang in recent years?Because it is not expected, it is a kind of panic.

Thinking of this, Mengli couldn't help being startled, how many people around Zi Yechen can trust him, how hard he has worked all these years, his every move is being watched, and danger is always around him.

"How is the emperor's pulse?"

"It's a little better than before, but now the poison is still taking place in his body, so he should be feeling very uncomfortable." After taking his pulse, Xiang Duxiu gently put down the emperor's hand, and then took out the bottle from his waist, "Although this can't Treat the root cause, but taking it every three hours may reduce the pain of the poison in the body."

"Well, leave it to me, it's late, you go to rest, I'll call you Xiaoquanzi." Meng Li took the bottle and said to Xiang Duxiu, starting today, Xiangduxiu will live in the In the room next to the emperor, Xiang Duxiu nodded, without saying anything else, and retreated, because he knew that even if he persuaded the master to go back to rest now, she would not agree.

Since Zi Yechen was brought back to the palace today, Mengli has been taking care of her personally, and she never left Zi Yechen except to investigate the matter.
