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

Xu Xiuzhu also discussed this matter with Chen in private.

Although Chen was not very clear about what was going on in the court, she had heard about the love-hate entanglements between the Big and Small Lu Mansions from some ladies.

Besides, what Xu Xiuzhu said actually made some sense. Xu Xingyin's personality was not as dignified and gentle as that of ordinary daughters. With such a personality, she would suffer some hardships if she married into the royal family.

The royal family is the king and the Duke's Mansion is the minister.

No matter how wronged Xu Xingyin was, they definitely did not have the ability to confront the king.

If this is the case, it would be better to marry someone of lower status.

As long as the plaque of their Duke's Mansion is still hanging there, there is no reason for them to bully Xu Xingyin.

Although she felt a little ashamed of Empress Mingzhen's kindness, Chen still cared about her daughter. This marriage...

If Xu Xingyin is satisfied, it's fine. If not, she will make Xu Xingyin retire no matter what.

Xu Xingyin had no idea of ​​what was going on in Chen's mind. He just pulled Chen's hand and acted coquettishly, and then asked Chen to have dinner with him.

Seeing her daughter's clever and quirky appearance, all her previous worries suddenly disappeared.

Chen smiled and said "you naughty boy", then went into the house with Xu Xingyin.

……

A few days later, after the Xu family and the Grand Princess's Mansion reached a consensus, Xu Xingyin took a carriage to the Grand Princess's Mansion to "go to school."

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Tian Tian and Lu Xu had been waiting for a long time, each of them looked more worried than the other, like eggplants hit by frost.

"What happened to you two?"

Xu Xingyin smiled and sat down next to the two of them, "Are you unhappy to see me?"

Lu Xu was still pretending to be profound, but Tian Tian couldn't help but say something in anger.

"Jiaojiao, something happened."

"what?"

Lu Xu then sighed and told her the story slowly.

It turned out that when Lu Xu took the evidence back to the Northern Pacification Office that day, everything was over.

Qionghua is dead.

He died by hitting his head against the wall in Zhaoyu Prison.

In the absence of Lu Xu, another officer of the Imperial Guard, Lord Lu, hurriedly closed the case.

By the time Lu Xu found out about this, the case had already reached the emperor's ears, and even Emperor Yan Ning's oral order had been passed down.

In the case of Grand Consort Tian Zitao, the criminal Qionghua bowed her head and pleaded guilty.

He claimed that love turned into hate, so he poisoned Tian Zitao by using the theory of food incompatibility.

Qionghua knew that she had committed a grave sin, so she hanged herself in the prison cell of Zhaoyu Prison. Blood splattered three feet away, and she died on the spot.

The presiding judge of the case, Lu Xu, was awarded a merit and silver for his meritorious service in investigating the case.

Because of his meritorious assistance and his extraordinary talent, the prison warden of Shuntian Prefecture was transferred to the Shuntian Prefecture government office and served under the command of the prosecutor Song Qingyun.

Everything was going according to plan, except...

the truth.

If they were still doubting whether Qionghua was the murderer before, now they can be 100% sure that Qionghua is not the murderer!

The person who killed Qionghua is the real murderer.

Only when Qionghua dies will everything return to peace.

The case was dropped and no one would investigate it further.

Lu Xu had thought about denying it, but his signature was clearly on the case closing document submitted to the emperor.

If he denied it now, he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.

Even though he had known about this, Tian Tian still jumped up in anger when he heard about it again.

"We can't just let this go! It's obvious that someone is shielding the murderer!"

Yes, it is an obvious cover-up, but since they can’t produce any evidence, there is nothing we can do.

Xu Xingyin pondered for a moment, then turned and asked Lu Xu.

"How much do you know about this Lord Lu from the Jinyiwei?"

Lu Xu shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

"This Lord Lu, Lu Libo, is a fifth-rank Qian Hu. Because of the same surname, everyone calls me Little Lord Lu, and he is Lord Lu. I heard that Lu Libo was promoted by Rong Yongcheng, the commander, and he was very much in his favor. Therefore, Lu Libo was involved in many major cases of the Northern Pacification Division. I don't know more about the rest."

Hearing this, Xu Xingyin no longer worried about Lu Libo's identity. He nodded and asked about other things.

"What about Qionghua? Where is Qionghua's body?"

"Qionghua committed a serious crime, and she has no relatives or friends at home. No one dares to come and take her body. Her body should still be in the Northern Pacification Office."

"Did you ever look at the body?"

Lu Xu shook his head. "According to the rules of the Imperial Guard, unless it is an unresolved case, I am not qualified to see Qionghua's body."

Xu Xingyin was silent.

If this is the case, then they only need to wait for Qionghua's body to rot, and then they will not be able to find any other evidence, then...

This case should be put to an end once and for all.

Obviously, Tian Tian also thought of this and asked depressedly.

"Is there no other way to get the body out?"

Get it out?

When Xu Xingyin heard these three words, she suddenly laughed as if she had been enlightened, and looked at Tian Tian with bright eyes.

"Yeah, we can't get in, but can't we get the body out?"

When Lu Xu heard this, he was completely overwhelmed.

With the mediocre skills of these two ladies, can they still hope to snatch Qionghua back?

"No!"

Lu Xu immediately voted against it. "The Northern Pacification Office is heavily guarded and directly under the Emperor. If they try to rob Qionghua, they will be beheaded if they are caught!"

Xu Xingyin burst out laughing when he heard that, and when he looked at Lu Xu, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"People who don't use their brains rely on brute force. I naturally have other ways!"

"What method?" Lu Xu was skeptical.

"What method?" Tian Tian was eager to try.

"Yongyi, you'll have to work hard on this."

Xu Xingyin whispered his plan, "The Prince Consort is your father. If you want to seek justice for him, who can stop you? You just need to ask for mercy from His Majesty and say that you want to throw Qionghua into the mass grave with your own hands to comfort the Prince Consort's spirit in heaven."

Tian Tian thought this was a good idea, but Lu Xu was still hesitant.

"Will this... work?"

"I can't think of any other solution."

Xu Xingyin said honestly, "Others don't know that Yongyi was involved in this matter, so they won't be too wary of her. Besides, this method is reasonable. If there is anything wrong with it, it is that Yu Yongyi has a bad reputation."

"What's the point of worrying about reputation?"

Tian Tian sneered.

"Who in this capital doesn't know that I, Yongyi, have a bad temper? Is this the only thing that matters? Well, instead of letting you guys alert the enemy, I'd rather ask my uncle the emperor for help and get Qionghua's body out of the Northern Pacification Office. Then we can continue investigating, right?"

Tian Tian was so straightforward that Lu Xu didn't want to dwell on it any longer.

After careful consideration and seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, I agreed.
