I have an altar of luck

Not as respectful as the court lady in front of her, she seemed to have been tortured too much, and she no longer had much desire to survive.

"When did Concubine Shu develop the habit of admiring the moon?" Chen Yuan asked in a deep voice.

The maid thought for a while and replied:

"Since more than two years ago, Concubine Shu has been admiring the moon from time to time."

"Two years ago?"

Chen Yuan clicked his tongue, this time span is really huge.

"A reward every few days?"

"About seven days..."

"Fixed?"

"No... not fixed." The maid replied thoughtfully.

"Then is there anything unusual these days?"

"Recently..." The maid lowered her head and said softly:

"Recently, the Empress has been watching the moon more often than before. Before, she would watch the moon every few days, but since about seven days ago, she has gone to the attic to watch the moon almost every day."

"Is there any abnormality?"

"No... no."

"Think about it carefully, every word you say is related to your life." Chen Yuan pointed out.

"The servant understands, the servant understands."

The palace nodded hurriedly.

"When Concubine Shu is admiring the moon, why don't you follow?"

Chen Yuan paced back and forth in Concubine Shu's palace with his hands behind his back, asking the questions he had been thinking about before. After sorting out all the questions, it would be much easier to investigate.

"Your Majesty Xijing, since half a year ago, the slaves have not been allowed to follow."

"Xi Jing?"

"Yes, the empress is very quiet."

"Then what is this?"

Chen Yuan pointed to the white jade lotus root in Wang Teng's hand and asked.

There was an unnatural shyness on the maid's face, and she whispered:

"This... the servant does not know."

"I really don't know?"

"It's...it's something that the empress often plays with."

Chen Yuan nodded, the white jade lotus root can be seen at a glance, it is often played with, otherwise it would never be so white and bright, jade is the same as walnut,

The more you play with it, the thicker the patina will become.

"When the empress fell into the water that day, did you hear anything?" Chen Yuan changed his voice and stopped staying on the topic just now.

If you go on, you will be blocked...

"This servant really didn't hear anything. The empress has told the servants long ago that no matter what happens, don't disturb her to watch the moon.

Before, a sister accidentally heard the empress exclaimed, and wanted to run up to check, but she was slapped several times by the empress, and she was driven out of Concubine Shu's side. "

The maid hurriedly said.

"There was no movement that day?"

"No."

"Didn't you hear me falling into the water?"

Chen Yuan had already seen that attic. It was at least ten meters high from the high place to the secluded pool. A large living person fell into the water, no less than a huge rock, and the splashing sound could not be less.

And it is impossible for the two maids to be too far away.

"No……"

"No?"

Chen Yuan nodded. From this, it can be deduced that the death of Concubine Shu was not simple, and there must be masters who sealed the six senses and five senses of the two of them.

"Then when did you discover Concubine Shu's body?"

"It's almost the hour of the day. Normally, the empress should come down at this time, but she couldn't come down for a long time, so the servants boldly went up to have a look.

But it turned out that there was nothing there. Sister Xiu'er casually looked down and found that Concubine Shu was... floating on the pool. "Referring to this matter,

There was still a little panic in the eyes of the little palace maid, which showed how much impact it had on them at that time.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes:

"Did Concubine Shu also go to watch the moon the day before yesterday?"

"Go...go."

"Well, let's go and see Concubine Shu's body first." Chen Yuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

He already knew what he wanted to know, and now he just needs to find out who the murderer is. The cause of death must be murder, because this Concubine Shu probably gave Jingtai a cuckold.

No wonder this matter should not be publicized, it is really disgraceful.

And those who are aware of this obviously don't know him alone, otherwise the harem would never be like the scene now.

What needs to be investigated now is who is the person who dared to cuckold the emperor?

I'm simply impatient...

Because, the day before yesterday was when the Seven Stars Lianzhu vision appeared, and the entire capital city was covered by black clouds, where to go to enjoy the moon?

It's clear that he's going to meet his lover privately.

Concubine Shu's body was stored in the ice cellar in the palace. One was for the convenience of investigation, and the other was for the convenience of encoffining. How could a nobleman be buried in a smelly state?

A few people left Shu Concubine Hall and went straight to the ice cellar. There were guards at the door, but there was an old eunuch, so no one dared to stop them. However, when they entered, there were a few more old mothers beside Chen Yuan and the others.

Seems to be ready to stare at them.

Chen Yuan didn't pay attention to them. He walked forward and looked at Concubine Shu's body. It might have looked good before, but after soaking in the pool water, Concubine Shu's body was still a little swollen.

Lying quietly in the ice coffin.

Chen Yuan's gaze looked up and down Concubine Shu's body, and carefully stayed on her nails for a moment. Except for the middle finger and index finger without nails, the rest of the nails were not short.

He checked one by one, but unfortunately, he didn't find any debris from it.

At the same time, Chen Yuan was also opening up his five senses to carefully smell the smell of Concubine Shu, to see if there was a smell of deoxyribose acid, if there was, the emperor's green hat would be firmly seated.

It's a pity that it seems that it's been a long time, and he hasn't heard of it.

"Please take off the clothes on Concubine Shu." Chen Yuan wanted to take a closer look.

"No."

The old eunuch on the side quickly jumped out to stop him.

This is a serious crime for insulting Concubine Shu's body. He said before that this matter is not allowed.

"You don't need all of them, you can keep the important ones." Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.

Nor was he interested in looking at a dead body.

The old nanny at the side hesitated a bit, and instead of doing it directly, she set her sights on the old eunuch, as if only his consent would work.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan said lightly:

"This officer is ordered to investigate the case, and Eunuch Zhao wants to stop it?"

"Of course not...it's just...this..."

"Even if people from the criminal department are investigating the case, they still have to look carefully at the body. If there is no evidence, how can they investigate the case?"

After a moment of silence, the old eunuch nodded.

The old mothers at the side immediately understood, and stepped forward to remove most of Concubine Shu's clothes, leaving only a few strips of cloth, and Wang Teng and the others also turned around.

Chen Yuan's eyes were calm, and he looked carefully at Concubine Shu's body. He couldn't see anything before removing the clothes, but after removing the clothes, he could feel that her abdomen was swollen higher.

If nothing else, you should be drinking more water.

Chen Yuan's eyes were like a scanner carefully checking the details, and there were no problems in most places, but after taking off the clothes and smelling again, he suddenly smelled a very faint smell of ink.

It's just that this smell is very light, and it seems to have been covered up, even if he has all five senses, he can only detect it.

Frowning, Chen Yuan asked several nuns to turn Concubine Shu over and check again.

This time, Chen Yuan focused all his attention on the faint smell of ink. The more he immersed himself in it, the more he could feel that this ink was very fragrant, and it might not be a common thing.

Staring at Concubine Shu's body, Chen Yuan was silent for a long time, then slowly stretched out a finger, and put it on her bulging belly, and then showed a faint smile.

Good guy, what's in Concubine Shu's stomach isn't water...

"All right."

Chen Yuan confirmed that he had written down all the details, then turned around and said to several nuns.

Afterwards, he took the people out of the ice cellar and returned to Concubine Shu Palace.

The two maids were still under custody, Chen Yuan stepped forward and asked casually:

"When Concubine Shu was alive, did she like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

"Your Majesty likes the piano and often plays music."

"What about calligraphy and painting?"

"This servant has never seen it before."

Chen Yuan nodded, it was already clear at this point, the faint scent of ink, if nothing else, should be left by the murderer.

"Master Chen, what have you discovered?"

"Please trouble Eunuch Zhao to show me all the types of ink in the palace."

Eunuch Zhao's eyes flickered, he nodded, and gave an order, and the young eunuchs around him immediately turned and left, while Chen Yuan squatted down slowly, and continued to ask:

"In the past few days... Concubine Shu, are you sure you haven't written anything?"

"No... no."

"Then did you ask about the scent of ink from Concubine Shu's body?"

"No...no, servants and others have only smelled sandalwood from Concubine Shu's body."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

Soon, the little eunuchs who had left before took out nine kinds of ink and put them in front of Chen Yuan. He smelled them one by one, and finally found the familiar feeling before on the seventh ink.

"What kind of ink is this?"

"Long Xiangmo."

Eunuch Zhao replied.

"In the palace, who likes to use such ink?"

Eunuch Zhao frowned and thought for a while:

"The princes and His Majesty all like this ink."

Chen Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words. Could it be that the one who cheated on Concubine Shu was not some palace guard?

His mother's prince?

"Apart from a few princes and His Majesty, who else uses this Longxiang ink?"

"Master Chen, this is the incense ink specially provided by the imperial family, if ordinary people use it, it will be overstepping."

Chen Yuan understood, that is to say, the current scope has been reduced to these princes in the palace.

Of course, this does not rule out whether someone framed it.

Maybe it's deliberate confusion.
