Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

Jing Zhichen gradually regained his senses and the anger in his eyes gradually subsided. He took a deep breath and nodded to Xu Xingyin, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

Then he turned to look at Doctor Liu, and his tone returned to calm: "Check carefully."

"Yes."

Doctor Liu bowed in response, stepped aside, and began to get busy again.

Seeing that Jing Zhichen's emotions had stabilized, Xu Xingyin then asked Jing Zhichen softly.

"What's so special about this Red Beauty Withering Poison?"

Jing Zhichen seemed to recall some unpleasant memories. A trace of deep sorrow flashed in his eyes. He paused for a long time before speaking slowly.

"My mother's death was closely related to this withering beauty. After my mother's death, there has been no withering beauty in the harem for more than ten years."

Xu Xingyin was stunned when he heard this.

Xu Xingyin knew that Jing Zhichen lost his mother at a young age, but the palace had always claimed that Empress Mingzhen died of "illness."

Is it related to "fading beauty"?

This was the first time Xu Xingyin had heard of this.

For a moment, Xu Xingyin didn't know how to comfort Jing Zhichen.

As a wife, she seemed...

There is indeed some dereliction of duty.

Xu Xingyin subconsciously reached out and gently held Jing Zhichen's cold palm.

Jing Zhichen's hand trembled slightly, as if touched by the warmth of her palm. Seeing Xu Xingyin's eyes full of concern and tenderness, the barriers that had been erected high collapsed quietly at this moment.

He finally had the courage to speak out the secret that he had deliberately kept secret.

Ten years ago, Concubine You, who had always been at odds with Empress Mingzhen, suddenly died.

After examination by the imperial physician, it was confirmed that Concubine You died from the "Hongyanku" poison from Miaojiang. On the same day, the Royal Guards found Hongyanku poison powder during a search in Empress Mingzhen's palace.

However, Empress Mingzhen denied poisoning Concubine You. Emperor Yanning was determined to protect Empress Mingzhen and asked the Embroidered Uniform Guard to find solid evidence.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards did not find any other strong evidence afterwards, but the longer the matter dragged on, the louder the discussion became.

Therefore, in order to appease the public anger, Emperor Yanning punished Empress Mingzhen lightly for the crime of "lax management of the palace".

The crime was not serious, and she was only confined for three days. However, for Empress Mingzhen, it was a sign that Emperor Yanning did not trust her.

It was this incident that led to Empress Mingzhen's death from depression.

In this case, it is no wonder that Jing Zhichen had such a big reaction today.

Ten years later, someone once again used the poison of Red Beauty to stage this false accusation drama, and their purpose must be impure.

On the one hand, the other party had calculated that when Yang Mingxue faced such a situation, she would definitely choose to make her deformed love public.

When the love, hatred and grudges between the three people are exposed to the public, no matter whether Jing Zhichen has feelings for Yang Mingxue or not, he will inevitably be criticized by the world.

If you are heartless, you are unfeeling and ungrateful.

If you have feelings, you are fickle and promiscuous, which is despised by others.

Fortunately, Concubine Lian stopped Yang Mingxue from committing suicide in time, otherwise...

Xu Xingyin could almost imagine how public opinion would discredit the Eastern Palace.

Furthermore, even if Yang Mingxue did not die, the subsequent involvement of the Hongyanku poison would remind everyone of the case of Concubine You, thus labeling Jing Zhichen as the son of the Poison Queen.

The person behind the scenes really has a very vicious mind!

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin subconsciously glanced at Xiao Lu, only to see that he was happily watching the fun with his hands folded, and he seemed to be looking forward to it?

Xu Xingyin withdrew his gaze unnoticeably, excluding Xiao Lu from the group.

Although it was really hateful that Xiao Luhou was taking advantage of someone's misfortune, she probably couldn't come up with such a meticulous plan with her brain.

Afterwards, Xu Xingyin comforted Jing Zhichen with a few more words and then turned to the coroner to ask if he had found any clues.

The coroner bowed and said, "To answer the Crown Princess, there were no external injuries on Concubine Yun's body. She died of food poisoning. I just checked all the food and utensils in the room, and finally found traces of poison on this teacup."

After saying that, the coroner presented the teacup with both hands.

The cup that the coroner found was the one that Yang Mingxue had handed to Concubine Yun before.

Xu Xingyin leaned in closer to take a closer look and found that there were indeed some barely noticeable powdery traces on the edge of the cup, which were obviously left by the poison.

Xu Xingyin's heart moved, and he turned to look at Yang Mingxue, only to see that the other party was pale, trembling slightly, and emotionally excited.

"This tea... This teacup was handed to Concubine Yun by me, but, but I definitely did not poison it! Someone must have framed me!"

Yang Mingxue's reaction was so big that it was inevitable that it was meaningful in the eyes of everyone.

Xu Xingyin frowned slightly. This case was already full of doubts, and Yang Mingxue's reaction added a touch of complexity.

Although Yang Mingxue's excitement may be a reaction to being wronged, it may also be a manifestation of guilty conscience.

Just as everyone was talking, Xiao Lu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"I think this case is very clear. Yang Mingxue, traces of poison were found on the teacup you handed to Concubine Yun. Concubine Yun died as a result. You are to blame."

Yang Mingxue's eyes widened in astonishment, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "Empress, it's not me! It really isn't me!"

"If it's not you, then who is it?"

Xiao Lu snorted and questioned again and again.

"The evidence is right in front of you. What right do you have to protest? You brewed the tea and served it to me. No one else touched it. If you didn't poison me, who did? Just as Bi Tao said, you originally wanted to serve this tea to the Crown Princess. You loved the Crown Prince and were jealous of the Crown Princess, so you poisoned the tea without caring about anything!"

Xiao Lu spoke with certainty, as if everything was already set in stone.

After hearing this, the other concubines also echoed it.

"Yes, who else would poison this tea except Yang Mingxue?"

"We just saw it clearly. The tea has definitely never been touched by anyone else."

"Women are truly the most vicious. Yang Mingxue actually did this out of jealousy!"

"Shame on you! You're already married, but you're still thinking about someone else's husband. The Yang family's tradition is really shameful!"

Everyone was talking about it, leaving Yang Mingxue speechless. She looked at Xu Xingyin, who remained silent, with red eyes.

"Xu Xingyin, although I, Yang Mingxue, coveted your husband in a despicable way, I have never done anything like poisoning or killing someone. I will admit to what I have done, but I will never admit to what I have not done."

As soon as Yang Mingxue said this, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Xu Xingyin.

It seemed that everyone was curious about how Xu Xingyin would deal with this matter.

Now that the evidence is so conclusive, Xu Xingyin only needs to follow the trend and completely trample Yang Mingxue, who has been annoyed to her for a long time.

It's just a fish on the chopping board. Whether to cut it into pieces or remove the tendons and skin it is up to Xu Xingyin.
