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

Since discussing the direction of the investigation with Cui Detao, Xu Xingyin has devoted himself to the investigation of the case ten years ago.

Cui Detao was very busy investigating the poisoning case. It was not until the third day when he got the news about the secret agent in Fengyi Palace that he made another trip in person to pay his respects to Xu Xingyin.

Cui Detao went straight to the point and relayed the message truthfully.

"The person from Fengyi Palace said that Empress Lu did not order anyone to investigate the matter of Concubine Lian sending the amulet, and she seemed to... not care much about it."

"Okay, I understand."

Xiao Luhou's reaction also verified Xu Xingyin's guess to some extent.

Judging from Empress Lu's personality, if she didn't investigate the matter after learning about it, it is very likely that... she knew about the relationship between Concubine Lian and Yang Mingxue.

After thinking for a while and was about to say a few words to Cui Detao, I heard some discordant noises coming from outside.

"Aunt Fu, Aunt Fu, the Crown Princess is in there discussing matters, you can't go in!"

"Meeting matters? There is nothing more important to me than His Highness!"

After saying that, Aunt Fu pushed open the guard at the door and rushed in.

Xu Xingyin saw Aunt Fu's angry face and was a little confused, "Aunt Fu?"

Aunt Fu suppressed her anger and asked directly.

"Does the Crown Princess know that His Highness vomited blood today?"

Xu Xingyin's heart tightened when he heard this, and he suddenly jumped up from his seat, "Why is His Highness vomiting blood?"

Aunt Fu took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her inner anger.

"The Crown Princess actually still cares about Your Highness. In the past few days, Your Highness has not even seen the shadow of the Crown Princess. I thought the Crown Princess didn't care about Your Highness' life or death at all!"

Xu Xingyin felt mixed emotions as he listened to Aunt Fu's reproach.

It’s not that she doesn’t care about Jing Zhichen’s life or death, but she knows very well that in order to truly save him, she must find the source of the poisoning.

But Aunt Fu was very angry now and probably wouldn't listen to what Xu Xingyin said, so Xu Xingyin could only speak anxiously.

"I'll go take a look first."

"Crown Princess, there is no need to go. Mr. Huaigu has already seen it!"

Aunt Fu frowned and looked at Xu Xingyin with a complicated expression. The resentment that had been pent up in her heart for several days suddenly came out.

"As a wife, the Crown Princess doesn't even bother to take care of His Highness when he's ill! You've been busy doing something outside, and you don't even know how His Highness is doing! This really chills my heart!

There are some things I shouldn't have said, but the Queen passed away early, and as your Highness's wet nurse, I'm going to be arrogant today! Mr. Huaigu can only control the toxins in your Highness's body for ten days at most, and now four days have passed!

I know that the Crown Princess did cooperate with Your Highness to investigate many unjust cases in the past, but after all, the Crown Princess has never investigated any major cases alone. The Crown Princess is so arbitrary this time and rejected the Jinyiwei and other professional agencies to investigate the case. Have you ever thought about what if you can't find the truth? Then the time you delay is the hope of Your Highness's survival!"

Aunt Fu’s words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Xu Xingyin’s heart hard.

Indeed, Xu Xingyin had never thought about what she would do if she couldn't find out the truth. It was not that she hadn't considered it, but that she didn't dare to think about it at all.

Because as Aunt Fu said, if she really couldn't find out the truth, then all the time wasted would be Jing Zhichen's hope of survival.

The color on Xu Xingyin's face gradually faded. She took a deep breath, suppressed the panic and uneasiness in her heart, and tried to keep herself calm.

This is not the time to argue with Aunt Fu, but to find a solution to the problem.

"Aunt Fu, I understand what you said. It's just that time is tight, and each department has its own little calculations. If they are interfered with by interests, the progress of the investigation will be even slower. Now that your father is in your palace and Mr. Huaigu is taking care of your body, I can't help much even if I'm there. It's better to use your energy on more valuable things. Only by finding out the truth can the poison in your body be solved. Aunt Fu, this is my purpose and original intention, not an excuse."

Cui Detao, who had been silent for a long time, also advised, "Yes, Aunt Fu, the Crown Princess has been working hard for His Highness these days. Everyone's original intention is for the good of His Highness, and it is really not time to fight among themselves."

After listening to the two of them talking back and forth, Aunt Fu's anger seemed to subside a little. She sighed softly and said in a gentle tone.

"I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now, but I also hope that the Crown Princess can resolve this matter as soon as possible. After all... Your Highness is getting weaker and weaker now, and he really can't wait."

"I know." Xu Xingyin nodded, waved her hand to signal Cui Detao to leave, and said, "Aunt Fu's arrival is just in time. I have something else to ask you."

"What's the matter?"

"Regarding the Queen Mother and the Little Queen Lu." After asking, Xu Xingyin added, "I heard that they were very good friends, but hasn't the relationship between the Big Lu Mansion and the Little Lu Mansion always been tense? How could the two of them become good friends?"

Speaking of this, Aunt Fu got angry.

"It's all because of that Nun Shouchu!"

"Master Shouchu?"

"Yes, Master Shouchu was originally the abbot of the temple outside the capital. At that time, the Empress felt that she had a good relationship with her, so she often went to listen to Master Shouchu's lectures. Empress Lu was also one of them who attended the lectures. As a result, the two girls of similar age became familiar with each other."

Xu Xingyin was somewhat puzzled. "Why haven't I heard of Master Shouchu's name since I came to the capital? Logically speaking, a Master who is so popular should be famous."

"She left." Aunt Fu's answer was concise and to the point. "The year the Empress passed away, Master Shouchu left the capital and has never returned since."

"Why would you choose to leave?"

Aunt Fu shook her head, "I don't know."

Xu Xingyin asked again, "Before the Queen Mother passed away, did she have any contact with this Master Shouchu?"

"It seems to have."

Aunt Fu thought seriously for a while before adding.

"I remember that when the Empress was ill, Empress Xiao Lu visited her many times under false pretenses. We had always kept them out, but one time, the Empress took the initiative to ask us to bring Empress Xiao Lu in. The two seemed to have had a big argument in the bedroom, but we don't know the details because we were sent away at the time. After Empress Xiao Lu left, the Empress ordered someone to send a letter to Master Shouchu, and then... Master Shouchu left the capital."

Xu Xingyin's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she asked again, "Then, did the Queen Mother mention Master Shouchu?"

"No." Aunt Fu shook her head and nodded uncertainly as if she remembered something. "The Queen Mother did instruct me to donate a sum of money to Jingning Temple every year. She said it was just to fulfill her relationship with Master Shouchu."
