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

Of course, there were also a few gossipy concubines who instigated Xu Xingyin.

"My Lady Crown Princess, Yang Mingxue usually doesn't respect you, and now he is trying to poison you. He is so vicious!"

"Yes, Princess, such a woman should be severely punished, otherwise she might do something harmful to the world in the future."

"That's right, you must not tolerate it!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyin raised his eyes, and his gaze moved between Yang Mingxue and Empress Lu, and then fell on the concubines who were very excited.

"Oh? Then according to your opinions, how should I deal with Yang Mingxue?"

One of them answered first: "Of course, he will be sent to the Jinyiwei. He will be tortured with all kinds of torture instruments in the Jinyiwei. Even the hardest mouth can be pried open!"

Another concubine said, "Now that the evidence is solid, why do we need to send Jinyiwei? This person has such a vicious mind, it is better to just beat him to death to set an example!"

Xu Xingyin listened to the indignant speeches of the concubines and was not in a hurry to convict Yang Mingxue. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at Yang Mingxue.

Yang Mingxue's eyes were red and swollen, her lips were trembling, tears were welling up in her eyes, but she couldn't utter a word to refute, and her face was pale with despair.

After all, Yang Mingxue knew that no one would believe her in the face of such "ironclad evidence".

And Xu Xingyin hated her to the core. In the current situation, if Xu Xingyin wanted to kill her, it would only take a word.

Seeing the despair in Yang Mingxue's eyes, Xu Xingyin couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his lips.

Just when everyone had settled down, Xu Xingyin slowly moved his gaze away from Yang Mingxue's face, looked at Xiao Lu, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Yang Mingxue was not the one who poisoned Concubine Yun."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

No one in the hall had a normal expression.

Except Xu Xingyin.

Yang Mingxue and I have been "hostile to each other for a long time", so should I just let her go?

Sorry, she's not that kind.

But she also knew her limits. She used someone else's hand to scare Yang Mingxue, but she only took a small revenge to a certain extent.

The most urgent task is to catch the real mastermind behind the incident.

After all, the person behind the scenes' calculations have harmed many people!

However, this plot twist was not really a "surprise" for Xiao Luhou.

She thought Xu Xingyin would go with the flow and completely remove Yang Mingxue, the thorn in his side, and then she could naturally sow discord between the young couple in the East Palace.

I never thought that Xu Xingyin would choose to believe Yang Mingxue at this time!

Xiao Lu glared at Xu Xingyin with an unpleasant expression and said in a cold voice.

"The evidence is right in front of us. If Yang Mingxue didn't poison the tea, how did the poison get into the tea?"

Xu Xingyin smiled slightly, took the teacup stained with poison from the coroner, and placed it in front of everyone with his hands spread out.

"Since everyone thinks this teacup is irrefutable evidence, why don't we take a closer look?"

Upon hearing this, everyone moved closer with suspicion and stared at the teacup carefully.

Everyone looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was and were all very confused.

Xiao Lu couldn't help but frowned, shifted his gaze to Xu Xingyin, and took his anger out on him.

"No one can figure it out, only you, the Crown Princess, have a keen eye?"

Xu Xingyin smiled without commenting, and then began to analyze the situation with everyone.

"From the traces of drinking tea on the teacup, the poison is in the lip print, which means that Concubine Yun was poisoned before drinking tea. In other words, the poison did not enter Concubine Yun's body through the teacup, but Concubine Yun herself had already taken the poison before drinking tea. The poison remaining on the teacup was left on the cup after Concubine Yun was poisoned."

Xiao Lu frowned and said, "This lip print doesn't mean anything. It's possible that it was accidentally rubbed against you."

Xu Xingyin shook his head and said, "Impossible. This poison is in powder form. If it was put into the tea, it would definitely not dry so quickly. So the only way to cause this situation is that the powder was directly applied to the rim of the cup. But if the poison entered the body through the teacup, the tea would flow along the wall of the cup and would definitely become blurred or incomplete. But the lip print we see now is very clear. It is obvious that it was left on the wall of the cup because of the lip oil. So it can only have been on Concubine Yun's lips before she drank this tea."

After Xu Xing finished speaking, the coroner who was in charge of the examination came over and confirmed it after a careful inspection.

"The Crown Princess's analysis is very correct. Concubine Yun was indeed poisoned before drinking tea. The real murderer is not Madam Sha who served tea."

After hearing what the coroner said, everyone was shocked.

But after all, the coroner is an expert in autopsies, and with his evidence, there will naturally be no problem.

Therefore, the doubts in everyone's eyes gradually dissipated.

Yang Mingxue's originally pale face finally regained some color. Looking at Xu Xingyin, who was sitting steadily on the podium with elegant manners, she seemed to want to say something, but ultimately could not open her mouth.

However, Xiao Luhou's face was still so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. She stared at Xu Xingyin and asked relentlessly.

"You can see so many things from a teacup, Crown Princess. Since you are so capable, why don't you analyze where the real poison comes from?"

"If it comes to my ability, how dare I show off my skills in front of the Empress who is in charge of the six palaces?"

What I mean is that I'm here to help you with your work, so don't be shameless.

"..."

Xiao Lu was unexpectedly rejected by Xu Xingyin. He felt a little embarrassed and pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly before softening his tone.

"This case is complicated, and I'm afraid it will take a while to figure it out. It's getting late, and we can't keep you all from resting. In my opinion, everyone should go back to the palace to rest today. After tomorrow, the follow-up investigation will be completed by the Jinyiwei in cooperation with me and the Crown Princess."

After Xiao Lu finished speaking, he pretended to ask Xu Xingyin.

"What does the Crown Princess think?"

Xu Xingyin readily responded, "The Queen is indeed very thoughtful."

It was a very normal sentence, but Xiao Lu somehow heard a hint of sarcasm in it and couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.

"Although Madam Sha has been cleared of suspicion for the time being, she is still not innocent until the case is fully clarified. During the investigation, Madam Sha should just endure the grievances in the Jinyiwei."

Xu Xingyin nodded and said.

"It is true that she cannot be completely proven innocent. But since she is a suspect, it is still inappropriate for her to live in the Imperial Guard. But if she leaves the palace, it will inevitably cause unnecessary speculation and commotion. In my opinion, it is better to let Madam Sha temporarily live in the palace of Concubine Lian. Concubine Lian has always been fair, and everyone can see it."

Although Xiao Lu was somewhat unhappy with Xu Xingyin's argument, after a little thought, he agreed.

"That's good. With Concubine Lian looking after us, we can ensure Madam Sha's safety and avoid interference from the outside world."

After Empress Xiao Lu made the final decision, the concubines returned to their respective palaces.

The East Palace and Concubine Lian's Handan Palace were on the same road, so the young couple of the East Palace once again traveled together with Concubine Lian and Yang Mingxue.
