Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

Hearing the words "Xiaoyao San", Jiang Haoran was surprised, and then said sensitively: "Why do you want to check this, what happened?"

Now they are regarded as an alliance, and Jiang Haoran is also his deputy. At this special moment, Xiao Lin naturally has no need to hide it from him, so he briefly explained what happened just now.

Knowing that the Fifth Prince might be taking Xiaoyao San, Jiang Haoran's expression became even more surprised, "The Fifth Prince is probably crazy, and no one who uses this to cheer him up can quit. In the end, he will either go crazy or die."

"Perhaps it was because of his recent loss of power in front of the emperor that he had nowhere to express his depression, and finally went on an evil path." Xiao Lin said, "So I want you to go to the rivers and lakes to find out if there is still a prescription for Xiaoyao San left in the world. I am worried that if this kind of evil prescription is spread among the people, it will cause the people from the imperial court to order it to take it, and the tragedy of the previous dynasty will repeat itself.”

"There is one more question." Bai Chen interrupted suddenly, "Whether the fifth prince took the medicine himself, or was someone tempted and coaxed him to take it, leading to addiction."

Many drug addicts step into this evil path at first under the instigation or temptation of others, and finally fall into the abyss of hell that cannot be redeemed.

After hearing Bai Chen's question, Xiao Lin and the Jiang brothers were silent.

The harem battle has been cruel and bloody since ancient times, and the superiors who succeeded in the end did not have any kind people in the true sense. Even though the prince looks honest and stable, he grew up in the bloody harem. Without one or two means, he would never have come to where he is now .

"Weakness of mind, lack of knowledge of people." Xiao Lin said, "Looking at it now, it's normal for him to lose before fighting. There are some things we can't talk nonsense, but Xiaoyao San was expressly forbidden by the Taizu, so we must not let it happen again. Flooded."

"It's just that the fact that the fifth prince took the forbidden drug has not yet been confirmed. It is not appropriate to play it rashly now, so as not to overwhelm the snake." Jiang Haoran said in a low voice, "I will ask my friends in the world for news, and the shadow guards over there are also very powerful. You can take action, the fifth prince has such a temper, he won't stay in the palace forever, as long as he leaves the palace, you can send someone to follow him."

Xiao Lin looked into the distance, with a slightly worried expression: "Then let's do it like this for now, I hope this is not an eventful year."

……

It has to be said that the son of the world is also worthy of the word "crow's mouth".

Less than five days after the hunt, a big event happened.

This day, Bai Chen had just arrived at Dali Temple, before he entered the study, he was stopped by Wang Hu who trotted into the courtyard.

"Lord Bai, something happened, something happened!"

Bai Chen turned around and saw Wang Hu flustered, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Why are you so panicked so early in the morning?"

"Lord Bai, Lord Hu, Lord Luo, and Lord Lu asked the younger ones to call you over, saying that something serious happened in the palace!" Wang Hu gasped, and paused, "I want to enter the palace immediately!"

Bai Chen's heart trembled: "Okay, I'll go there now."

Is there another big case in the palace?It's so big that even the semi-retired Master Hu wants to go out.You must know that the last murder of concubines in the harem only dispatched the second-in-command Luo Lanye.

He didn't dare to delay, so he quickened his pace and came to the courtyard where the Minister of Dali Temple worked.

The three big men were standing in the courtyard talking, all looking very serious, presumably something serious happened.

After Bai Chen entered the door, he saluted and said hello, but before he had time to ask what happened, he was taken away by three big bosses and went straight to the palace.

Lord Hu and Lord Lu rode in the same carriage, while Bai Chen rode in the same carriage with Luo Lanye and the accompanying documents of Lord Luo.

It was only in the carriage that Bai Chen found out what had happened--in the middle of the night yesterday, the fifth prince had a sudden madness and stabbed the concubine Liu Rushui to death with a sword!

Not to mention, the fifth prince who went mad not only killed Jiefa’s wife, but also killed three concubines and injured several guards. If the prince takes it down, I'm afraid that the prince's mansion will be littered with dead bodies yesterday.

Early this morning, Emperor Dehui issued an order to let important officials from Dali Temple enter the palace to investigate the case, and after investigation, they will be punished according to their crimes.

After listening, Bai Chen was so startled that he lost his voice for a moment.

He still greatly underestimated how uncontrollable the fifth prince was, and now he can basically confirm the fact that he was taking drugs. This symptom is almost exactly the same as that of the suspects he had caught before who had hallucinations after smoking du, went berserk and killed indiscriminately.

It should be that the fifth prince increased the dose of the drug last night, which caused his body to be unable to bear it, and he had hallucinations, showing mania and paranoia of being persecuted. In the end, things couldn't be dealt with, and he carried out crazy killings.

The criminal law of the new dynasty stipulates that the prince's crime is the same as that of the common people. What's more, the fifth prince also killed his first wife, Liu Rushui, the daughter of the current prime minister.

Liu Xiangquan was devoted to the ruling and opposition parties, and even Emperor Dehui respected him three points, but now the fifth prince killed his daughter, if the fifth prince was not severely punished, Liu Xiang might not be able to swallow this breath.

The fifth prince not only violated the law, but also asked Liu Xiang to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man. It is difficult for him to be tolerated by law and reason. This time, he may really be doomed.

Let Dali Temple participate in the investigation as soon as something happened, which fully demonstrates Emperor Dehui's attitude of doing business as usual.

After last night, he completely gave up on the fifth prince.

"It's just autumn and such a big event happened, it's a headache." Luo Lanye pinched his nose, feeling a little tired.

Bai Chen cupped his hands and said, "Lord Luo, where is the Fifth Prince now?"

Luo Lanye said: "I was imprisoned in a cold palace by the emperor and sent people to guard it strictly."

Bai Chen asked: "My lord, if the four of them were indeed killed by the fifth prince, should they be punished as crimes?"

Although the criminal law states that princes commit the same crimes as ordinary people, emperors have privileges after all, and princes cannot be treated like ordinary murderers. They will be executed as soon as they are said. At least in this dynasty, no prince has been heard of. Those who committed crimes were punished.

"The emperor may spare his life because of the love between father and son." Luo Lanye pondered, "But..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Bai Chen knew what the second half of his sentence was.

——It is already a great gift not to kill him. Don't even think about doing it again. He will be severely punished.

"Lord Luo, did the fifth prince ever say why he wanted to kill someone?"

Luo Lanye said: "It is said that the fifth prince's eyes were bloodshot yesterday, and his relatives did not recognize him. After recovering his sanity today, he seemed to be a different person. He didn't say a word. He didn't even answer the emperor's question of the reason for the murder. He just kowtowed to the emperor and said that he was wrong. "

Bai Chen originally wanted to report to Luo Lanye about the fifth prince taking the medicine, but after thinking about it, he decided to enter the palace first and see the corpses of the fifth prince and the murdered people before speaking. It is safer to have evidence than the current empty deduction .

……

Master Hu brought a few people to meet Emperor Dehui, who was obviously pissed off, his face was pale, and his spirit was a little depressed.

Eunuch Cui, the chief servant, was waiting on the sidelines, giving Emperor Dehui a pat on the back.

Emperor Dehui was hit, and he seemed to have aged a lot overnight. After a few words to deal with them, he gave a few officials of Dali Temple the tokens to walk freely in the Forbidden Palace, and let them investigate the case according to the procedures.

Master Hu led the people of Dali Temple to receive the decree and was about to retreat when Emperor Dehui stopped them again.

He covered his forehead, sighed and said, "Report to me after you find out the reason."

Lord Hu bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Bai Chen thought to himself that Master Luo was right, blood is thicker than water, breaking bones and tendons.Emperor Dehui didn't have many heirs in the first place, no matter how disappointed he was with the fifth prince, he couldn't stop killing him.

……

After the few of them left the imperial study room, they officially started to investigate the case.

Mr. Hu is mainly here to take care of the place, and Luo Lanye still needs to direct the specific affairs.

The four of them split into two groups. Lord Hu and Lord Lu went to Lenggong to inquire the prince, while Lord Luo took Bai Chen to the scene of the crime to check the situation, and then took Wu Zuo to examine the victim's body.

Obviously, the easy things are done by Mr. Hu, and the complicated and difficult things are left to Luo Lanye.

Led by the imperial guards, Bai Chen and Luo Lanye came to the fifth prince's residence.

The corpse had been taken away, and the scene was in a mess. From the courtyard to the room, there were blood splatters everywhere, which showed the frenzy and tragedy of last night.

The blood in the courtyard was almost all left by the injured guards, and the large amount of blood in several rooms was left by the dead.

According to the confession of the injured guard, the fifth prince killed the concubine and one of the concubines in the bedroom first, and then went to other rooms to kill the other two concubines.

Luo Lanye stood in the courtyard, looked around and said to Bai Chen, "Let's take a look at the fifth prince's bedroom."

"Yes, my lord."

If the Fifth Prince took the medicine, there must be clues in the bedroom.

As soon as the two walked into the luxuriously decorated bedroom, they could smell a strong smell of rust and blood, which made people feel a little nauseous.

All the tables and chairs in the room were overturned, and there were large bloodstains all over the walls, bed, and floor. It was shocking, like entering Shura hell.

Even the well-informed Luo Lanye frowned and shook his head.

Bai Chen ordered the guards to straighten the tables and chairs, and he began to rummage through drawers and various cabinet boxes, hoping to find something.

But there were no suspicious medicine bottles and boxes, not even a trace of pills.

He went to the corner again, picked up the censer and smelled it. Apart from the smell of sandalwood, it seemed to be mixed with other smells.

Bai Chen felt that the smell was inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it.
