On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal
Chapter 1300 Cause of Death
Yan Ruyu was also a little confused.
If Madam Mu was killed by Mu Baodi, there should only be symptoms, and she would not say something like "Don't take my life".
Yan Ruyu pondered and said, "Perhaps Mu Baodi used some method to make Madam Mu think that her life was being demanded."
"Just like when the abbot saw Aunt Wu's body, Mu Baodi told him that it was the gods who were taking her life."
"People's first impression, their preconceived impression, is very important."
Huo Changhe nodded in agreement: "Leave the rest to me, I'll check it out and send you back home first."
Halfway through the journey, he met Song Ping who was returning.
"My Lord, Princess, I have something to report."
"Go back home and tell me."
As soon as he entered the mansion, Song Ping began to talk about the situation over there.
"Before Cui Chong and I arrived at Yuan's house, we met Mu Liangze who had returned. Cui Chong said that someone came to report a crime and had seen the young master. Mu Liangze thanked him profusely."
"I asked him where he had searched before and where he had come back from. He said he had searched nearby and outside the city, etc." Song Ping paused, "but he didn't mention the Yuan family."
"I felt that his expression and reaction were not right, as if he was hiding something, so I quietly went to the vicinity of Yuan's house to inquire."
"The place where the Yuan family lives is relatively mixed, where there are many merchants and small vendors around. According to them, they didn't hear any quarrels in the Yuan Mansion. Some people also saw Mu Liangze leaving. He looked quite polite, but the attitude of the Yuan family was average."
This is totally inconsistent with the idea that Mu Liangze thought his son was kidnapped by the Yuan family and went to the Yuan family to ask for his son.
So what on earth was he doing?
His wife was dead and his son was missing, why didn't he go to look for them quickly instead of going to Yuan's house?
"This Mu family is really weird in every way." Huo Changhe narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold look appeared in his eyes.
"That's true," Song Ping continued, "So, when he led people to rescue the young master, I also sent people to follow quietly to see if there was anything special."
Huo Changhe nodded: "Okay, if there are any abnormalities, report them at any time."
"Yes."
Yan Ruyu asked: "What about the situation in the Mu Mansion? Who is there?"
"It was Cui Chong. Mu Liangze went, but Cui Chong did not follow. He took the coroner with him as the princess ordered. Nanny Wu did not appear to be injured, nor was she poisoned, so there is no progress for the time being. However, Miss Mu is under surveillance."
"Not poisoned?" Yan Ruyu thought.
When she heard the abbot's description of how Madam Wu died, she also thought it was poisoning.
Huo Changhe was not surprised: "It is not difficult to make people bleed from all seven orifices to death without poisoning them."
Yan Ruyu looked at him and he nodded: "I can do it."
"Military Doctor Cao can do that, too."
……
When it was completely dark, Mu Liangze brought his kidnapped youngest son back to the city. The child had no external injuries, but was very frightened and had been in a coma. He started to have a fever when he returned home.
The Mu family was in chaos again, and they called in a doctor, who was busy running around.
Doctor Cao changed his clothes and asked Beibei to do a simple make-up for him. Yan Ruyu, who was dressed as a little medicine boy, followed him.
After giving Mu Xiaobao acupuncture, Cao said to Mu Liangze, "Master Mu, although the young master's illness is not serious, he is young and has a weak constitution. We must not be careless and must take good care of him."
Mu Liangze said yes repeatedly.
"How about this, let my medicine boy go and boil the medicine. This first dose of medicine requires careful attention to the temperature, so let him do it."
Mu Liangze had no objection: "Thank you."
He asked someone to take Yan Ruyu to the kitchen.
It was already past dinner time, and with no mistress in charge, the people in the kitchen were all slacking off and left early.
Yan Ruyu took the warming tonic medicine, found the medicine pot, boiled the medicine, and then left the kitchen.
Huo Changhe had been waiting for her for a long time and took her to the place where Nanny Wu's body was kept.
Cui Chong was not there, but his yamen runners were still there, and a copy of the coroner's autopsy results was also made and kept.
The bailiff whispered, "This woman has someone else at home, but she refuses to open the body for an autopsy, so..."
Yan Ruyu understood that not only in ancient times, but even in modern times, not many people would agree to autopsies.
"Let's go check it out first," she glanced at the autopsy report, "you guys stay outside."
The bailiffs said yes, opened the door, and Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe walked in.
This is a remote yard where few people come. It is usually used to store sundries and temporarily to store corpses.
Nanny Wu's body was still lying on the straw mat, face up, her face blue and purple, half of her face covered in mud, and traces of blood were still there.
From the outside, it looked exactly as written in the autopsy report.
Yan Ruyu switched her eyes and looked at Nanny Wu's body again.
Check carefully from head to toe.
Under the perspective state, I found the clues.
Huo Changhe was also beside the corpse, observing from the perspective of a martial artist.
Yan Ruyu and he pointed to the same place at the same time.
"Here." They said in unison.
Yan Ruyu smiled lightly: "You speak first."
"The person who did it must be an expert," Huo Changhe said. "There are very shallow white marks here, not very regular. It must have been caused by something, like a small stone or something like that."
"This is a major acupuncture point, connected to many meridians. If I'm not mistaken, many meridians related to this place have been severed."
Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised: "Your Majesty has good eyesight."
She was able to see these things through her perspective, while Huo Changhe relied entirely on experience and inference.
And he said it exactly.
Huo Changhe's lips curled slightly, the candlelight reflected in his eyes: "So, I was right?"
"Of course," Yan Ruyu pointed at that spot, "From here to here, here, the meridians are all cut off."
"The meridians are cut off and the blood flows backwards, which causes bleeding from all seven orifices."
"That is to say, she was indeed killed by someone. Although she was not poisoned, she was still murdered by someone, not by some gods." Huo Changhe sneered. "Mu Baodi only took one look and then put the blame on the gods. It's really abominable."
"Maybe," Huo Changhe could hardly hide his disgust when he mentioned Mu Baodi, "she already knew who the murderer was, so she said it was a god."
Yan Ruyu thought this was possible.
"Your Majesty, I want to go to the mourning hall again."
"it is good."
Mrs. Mu’s coffin had been sealed in the mourning hall, but Yan Ruyu still wanted to take a look at it, and she could see it even in the perspective state.
However, if she were poisoned, I don’t know what changes would occur in her body.
Or maybe nothing has changed at all.
The two left the yard and went to the mourning hall.
Halfway through the journey, he suddenly saw someone in front of him and immediately retreated behind a tree.
There was only one person in front, holding a lantern and walking hurriedly.
It was Mu Liangze.
Yan Ruyu was confused. Wasn’t he in Mu Xiaobao’s yard?
The youngest son escaped death and finally came back, but he has not woken up yet and has a high fever. Where is he going in such a hurry instead of waiting for his condition to get better?
Yan Ruyu used to think that Mu Liangze was cowardly and had no opinion of his own, but now she doesn’t think that might be the case.
"Let's go, follow him first."
The two of them followed Mu Liangze quietly.
Mu Liangze hurriedly headed straight for a courtyard. He had no idea that Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were following him.
As they entered the yard, the maids and servants came forward with a lot of greetings, but they were interrupted by him before they could even finish their words.
"Get off!"
Everyone left in a hurry.
Mu Liangze blew out the lantern and entered the house. Mu Baodi was looking at herself in the mirror and was startled when she saw him suddenly come in.
"Father, what are you doing? You scared me."
"Are you afraid too?" Mu Liangze snorted and laughed.
Mu Baodi put down the hairpin in her hand and looked at him: "What do you mean?"
"Let me ask you, does the recent family events have anything to do with you?"
