After being reborn, being alone as a queen

There was someone they had arranged in advance in the post house. After the interrogation, the man was originally the deputy general of the Beiyanxiao Cavalry Battalion, Gongsun Ji, who was in charge of escorting Princess Duanjing who came to marry him this time.

The servant checked the badge and said, "My lord, my lords, this badge is indeed owned by the lieutenant general of the Xiaoqi Battalion."

Xie Jin took the waist badge and handed it to Mu Xiu. After looking down, Mu Xiu nodded subtly.

Xie Jin expressed his understanding, turned his head and ordered: "Go and invite the best gangster in the city to do it. The matter is of great importance, and it is necessary to investigate and find out."

"Yes." The servant stepped back in response

Xie Jin said again: "I have disrespected you, Deputy General."

Gongsun Ji's face was like black charcoal, he was forced to kneel on the ground, and he didn't even want to give him a look.

If it wasn't for the concern that he was standing on the territory of Nanchu, he would have made trouble a long time ago, and it would be his turn to have such a white-faced official who appeared out of nowhere to show off his power in front of him.

Xie Jin didn't care, and ordered: "Quickly bring a stool to the deputy general and this girl, how can I make the deputy general kneel down."

The servant who was escorting the two of them let go of his hand knowingly, and stepped aside.

Soon, other people moved two chairs.

"You two, please sit down."

Xie Jin made an invitation gesture

Then the two of them were ignored, and Princess Duanjing's body was moved in and placed in the room.

Xie Jin said: "My lord, you sit down too. I'm afraid you have to wait a little longer according to Wuzuo's legs."

Mu Xiu gave an 'hmm' and sat down beside him.

Muran leaned closer to Xie Jin and said, "How does the young master know that it was the maid who poisoned him?"

Xie Jin wondered, "I don't know."

A big question mark appeared on Muran's face: "Then you were so sure just now?"

Xie Jin smiled and said, "Just try it out."

Muran: "..."

After a stick of incense, Wu Zuo finally arrived late, with a wooden box on his shoulder and gray hair.

He knelt down and said: "The villain has met the prince, the two officials."

Xie Jin said: "Get up, the body is there, you go to examine it, and don't let go of any subtleties."

Wu Zuo said: "The villain obeys."

Then Zuo Zuo walked over with the box on his shoulders.

"Princess..."

Wen Xing cried out of breath, startled and angry at the same time.

Soon, the work will have results.

He frowned: "Responding to my lord's words, this female corpse has been dead for no more than two hours, and there is no wound on the whole body. Judging from the symptoms of bleeding from the seven orifices, it is poisonous, and it is extremely poisonous. It can kill people immediately. , but the strange thing is that the villain pierced the throat, esophagus and stomach of the corpse with silver needles, but no poison residue was found."

Hearing this, Xie Jin showed a thoughtful look, and said, "What does your lord think?"

Muran was also very surprised: "This king feels that it is obviously premeditated to do so secretly."

Mu Xiu suddenly said, "If it's not a poison that needs to be eaten, is it possible that it is a poison that kills people through smell?"

Xie Jin's eyes lit up: "It makes sense, immediately take Wu Zuo to check the sedan chair the princess is riding in."

The servant understood, and immediately led Wu Zuo to rush there.

Muran sighed: "Unfortunately, this king can't help much. Who do you think would be so malicious? They intend to destroy the peaceful diplomatic relations between Nanchu and Beiyan!"

Xie Jin and Mu Xiu looked at each other, and they both saw the same look in each other's eyes.

This matter, if it is really as simple as someone intending to damage the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Afterwards, Mu Xiu looked at him, and said indifferently: "It may not be a good thing to get involved in these things, what a pity."

Xie Jin also said: "What your lord said is that the prince is not involved in these complicated matters, he is really a blessed person."

Muran's eyes were dazed and he didn't understand what it meant.

Xie Jin smiled and did not explain.

Xiangping Wang Mu Junan, his mother and concubine had a low status before giving birth to him, and the first emperor only visited her palace once every few months.

By chance, she was pregnant with a child, but thanks to the blessing of the queen, she was able to give birth safely.

The mother is expensive according to the child, and she is a concubine in one fell swoop.

In order to repay her kindness, she taught her son from infancy to have no desires or desires, and she must never compete with the benefactor's son for the throne.

years of nurturing

After the prince grew up, he really didn't have any interest in the throne. What he liked the most was the prince and brother and reciting poems.

Not long after, Wu Zuo walked in.

"My lord, my lords, I didn't notice anything wrong in the princess' sedan chair, it's just the normal smell of incense."

Xie Jin said: "That's strange, this person can't die suddenly, can he?"

Wu Zuo said: "My lord is joking, it is naturally impossible."

Xie Jin got up and walked to the corpse, took off the sachets hanging from her waist one by one, and threw them into Wu Zuo's hands: "Where are these sachets? Let's see if there is any problem?"

Wu Zuo put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully, then shook his head and said, "It's full of ordinary floral fragrance and spices, there's nothing wrong with it."

Xie Jin raised his eyebrows

Muran also asked strangely: "Then such a big living person died right under his nose?"

Xie Jin turned to Wen Xing: "It's a long way on this road, where are your food and water?"

Wen Xing couldn't help wiping her tears with her hands, sobbing: "The dry food is in the box outside. Occasionally passing by the town, the princess will eat something sold by street vendors. I don't know if the problem will arise here?"

Xie Jin frowned and said in thought: "The probability is too small. First of all, no one can predict that you will definitely buy it. Besides, I'm afraid you can't make such a low-level mistake. Just feed your princess something of unknown origin?"

Wen Xing was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Of course not! The servants have tasted everything the princess has eaten before."

Xie Jin looked at Wu Zuo: "But that being said, you still can't miss it. Take Wu Zuo down to check the dry food and water they brought with them."

Still the same result, no problem with dry food and water.

Xie Jin squatted on the ground, obviously having some headaches, and adjusted Princess Duanjing's gorgeous and cumbersome clothes.

Suddenly, his eyes froze

Mu Xiu also knew that he had found something, and subconsciously looked at Gongsun Ji and the maid Wen Xing who were sitting on the other side, quietly taking in their expressions at that moment.

The next moment, Xie Jin shook his clothes and stood up, as if he hadn't noticed anything.

He looked at the lit lanterns in front of the corridor on the second floor of the post house, and lazily said: "It seems that there is nothing to be tested today, and a room has been prepared for the two of you, why don't you take a good rest for the night first."

Wen Xing and Gongsun Ji were taken to the assigned rooms respectively.

Xie Jin stretched his waist: "I don't know if the prince has prepared a room for us?"

Muran said: "Aren't you two going to live in this king's mansion?"

Mu Xiudao: "The palace is still some distance away from here, if something happens at night, I'm afraid it will change."

Xie Jin continued: "So, tonight, we can only stay in the posthouse."

Muran thought for a while, and said: "Forget it, then how many rooms do you want, I will arrange it right away."

Xie Jin was confused by this question.

Mu Xiu didn't feel any pressure at all, and replied, "One room."

Muran was taken aback, and subconsciously asked: "You two big men... share a room?"

Xie Jin's face was a little hot, and he said: "My lord and I will take turns to watch the night to prevent thieves from taking advantage, so we live in the same room. If the enemy is in the dark, we will be in the light, so we can take care of each other."

Mu Xiu looked at him coldly, "The prince thinks, what's wrong?"

Muran seemed to smell the murderous intent, and hurriedly said: "No, no, what I mean is, let's arrange it now."

Then he yelled to the wooden subordinates behind him, "Hurry up and leave!"

After speaking, he hurried downstairs

The confidant asked: "My lord, what's the matter with you? Aren't you the two officials from the capital? You are the lord, why do you want to be so humble to them."

While going downstairs, Muran turned his head and said, "What do you know, don't talk too much, I just think it's not good."

Can he say that one of these two officials is the current emperor?cannot!

But these idiots around me have no eyesight at all

The confidant said: "Dare to ask the prince, what is wrong?"

Muran sighed, and answered the wrong question: "Hong Yuan, your eyesight is really not as good as before."

After speaking, I went downstairs to make arrangements.

It was a bit inexplicable for Hong Yuan to be bullied by her master for no reason.

Xie Jin made the bed and said: "The beds in this post house are not as good as those in the palace. Your Majesty may feel wronged."

Mu Xiu sat at the table, looked at his back and said, "With you, there's nothing wrong with it."

Xie Jin froze and didn't speak.

Mu Xiu knew what he wanted and didn't force it.

Anyway, no matter what, even at the cost of his life, he wouldn't let him get hurt in the slightest.

Not long after, Xie Jin also sat at the table

Candles flicker on the table

The light reflected on Mu Xiu's face became more plump and handsome, and reflected in Xie Jin's eyes, it contained all kinds of tenderness in the world.

Xie Jin said: "Your Majesty, don't you want to know what I found on that Princess Beiyan today?"

Mu Xiu raised his eyelids: "I'll wait for you to tell yourself."

Xie Jin laughed: "To tell you the truth, it's a piece of peach petals."

Looking at his solemn expression during the day, Mu Xiuguang thought it would be something that would have a breakthrough in this case, but he never thought it would be this thing.

"When you noticed the strangeness, Gongsun Ji's expression was a bit puzzled, and he might not know it, but the maid Wen Xing...and what's wrong with the peach petals?"

Xie Jin instantly understood what he meant, and smiled: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this thing is the key clue."

Mu Xiu was puzzled: "How do you say that?"

Xie Jin said: "There is a strange poison in this world. It uses smell as a poison, which is similar to some repellent food and medicine. As long as there is no poison, the poison will not have any effect on the human body."

Mu Xiu: "What do you mean?"

Xie Jin smiled indifferently: "It's strange to come here with the princess. I was worried that it would be a trick. I never thought that he would be so unscrupulous."

Mu Xiu is silent

Xie Jin: "He has no plans to spare. I'm afraid this boring loss, even if we don't eat it, will still have an impact after all. After all, Princess He died in our Southern Chu territory."

Mu Xiu said: "Back then, you fought several times, you should know what kind of person he is, I'm afraid it's not that simple, let's see what purpose he has."

Xie Jin nodded: "Okay."

More haste less speed.

In the early morning of the next day, both Wen Xing and Gongsun Ji had big dark circles under their eyes, and they could tell they had been tossing and turning all night.

Gongsun Ji said: "What exactly do you want? The princess died for no reason. Since she can't find out, she should report it to the emperor of your country immediately. Do you want to hide such a big matter from our lord? With all due respect, it can't be delayed for a while. A generation"

Xie Jin said: "What the deputy general said is true, but Your Excellency can rest assured, because our emperor has already known about this matter."

Gongsun Ji looked surprised

Xie Jin said: "Moreover, the cause of the princess' death will soon be revealed."

Gongsun Ji snorted coldly, obviously not believing it.

Xie Jin walked up to Princess Duanjing's body, and under everyone's puzzled eyes, opened her cuffs

Wen Xing's face was flushed red: "What do you want to do to the princess again! I even checked the work yesterday! Your country's strong intention to shirk responsibility is too obvious!"

Xie Jin didn't look up, just chuckled lightly: "Miss Wen Xing said it well."

Wen Xing didn't expect that he would not only not refute but also follow his own words, and was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a pink petal lying in Princess Duanjing's sleeve.

Muran didn't understand, so: "Petals?"

Xie Jin ordered unhurriedly: "Go and pick a peach blossom and come back."

Muran winked at Hong Yuan, who turned around and left.

Wen Xing's complexion changed drastically, her eyes were frightened, her lips turned white from biting.
