The correct way to open the first favorite concubine of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 23 [Click 2 plus more] The stone is not out (3)

Five years have passed since the Queen's death.Even if the murderer inadvertently left any evidence, five years would be enough to wash it away.Not to mention that the bloodthirsty emperor committed massacres due to the pain of losing his spouse. At that time, almost none of the palace servants, female officials, and imperial physicians related to the empress survived.

It's okay for a detective to encounter such a victim's family.

The only good thing is that Zhu Di loved the queen so much that he not only closed the queen's bedroom to prevent others from entering, but also sealed up all her relics, no matter how big or small, for burial.Although all the witnesses have been killed, the physical evidence may still be preserved.

I asked Heidan: "To what extent has Mr. Zhou been investigated? Will His Majesty let him go to the bedroom to investigate?"

Heidan said: "Zhou Xin tried his best to investigate, but the evidence collected can only smear his heart, not convict him."

"What's the point of this?"

"For example, three months before Grandma Huang's illness, Concubine Zhang Guifei sent her a court lady who was good at massage. Although this court lady had been killed by Grandpa Huang, this is a record of personnel changes in the palace. That person sometimes She will offer some medicinal food for conditioning the body. I remember that she offered chestnut cakes before Grandma Huang’s illness. Coincidentally, there were no chestnuts in the small kitchen of Grandma Huang’s palace that month, while the small kitchen of Concubine Zhang Guifei had no chestnuts. [-] catties of chestnuts. There are many records of similar ingredients, but there is no direct evidence that some kind of food sent by Concubine Zhang Guifei poisoned Grandma Huang. For example, I have seen this chestnut cake, and I also suspect chestnut cake , and there are accounts to support it, but I don’t have the poisonous chestnut cake in my hand, so I can’t convict her. Not to mention that the witnesses are still alive in the world, except us princes and grandchildren, and the concubines in the palace. Without physical evidence, who would dare to link these accounts with Grandma Huang's death? Even witnesses are limited."

"Then... how do we investigate this case? Zhou Xin, is there anything else he can do?"

"This case is actually difficult to say, not difficult to say." Heidan said: "Zhou Xin puts his hopes on two things, one is to search the bedroom, and the other is to do an autopsy."

One of the queen's symptoms back then, just like the concubine Xian, was constipation and unable to excrete, and in the end she suffered from abdominal distension and pain.If there is an autopsy, perhaps the food left in the abdomen can make the truth come to light.

But the problem is that the emperor loves his wife as much as his life. If there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the queen died of poisoning, he would ask for an autopsy and harm the queen's body. Instigated by the villain, it is not just a matter of Zhou Xin losing his head alone.

Moreover, if the autopsy fails to obtain the desired results, and the empress' jade body is damaged for no reason, even if she is a prince and grandson, she cannot bear this responsibility.

Right now only the prince or grandson is likely to ask for an autopsy.Once you speak, no matter what the result is, an unfilial hat will come down in response.

To be on the safe side, don't open your mouth and wait for things to turn around.But in the process of waiting, Zhou Xin may die in vain.Moreover, these two cases may be buried from now on, no one cares about them anymore, and the murderer who killed the queen will be at large and at ease from now on.

Both options will lose blood.

Presumably the prince and the ministers are also having a headache at this moment.

"If you can't test the empress, can you still test the concubine Xian?"

"The tomb of Concubine Xian has been sealed, and if you want to reopen it, you need to ask the emperor's grandfather... If it is for the emperor's grandmother, the emperor's grandfather may be willing, but it is hard to say."

"If concubine Xian's body is inspected and the remaining elixir is found to be poisonous, can the eunuchs of the Imperial Medicine Bureau be convicted first, then Cui and Concubine Zhang will be brought out, and Concubine Zhang's confidantes will be interrogated to determine whether the cause of the Empress's death is related to Zhang Guifei's death? Concubine related?"

"It's the only way to try."

At this point in the discussion of the case, Heidan naturally can no longer rest in bed peacefully. Human life is at stake, let alone the previously agreed "advance through retreat".I serve him to get dressed, and let him report to the prince.

"The son pretends to be smart and makes good decisions, causing trouble to his parents and all the officials. He is ashamed and restless. The only way to remedy it is to redeem his son's sins."

The prince is kind after all.Even if his brother harmed him, he was willing to say a good word for his brother in front of his father. Although he was angry with Heidan now, seeing that Heidan admitted his mistake with sincerity, his anger disappeared.

"Get up and talk."

After hearing Heidan's plan, the prince was silent.

He has a kind heart and wants to save Zhou Xin; but the ministers have advised him before that this matter is difficult, so don't get involved too deeply.

The princess said: "We have no way out in this matter, it is wrong to go any way, why not take a gamble according to the method Jier said, if we find out the result, maybe we can turn the tables."

The prince was obviously shaken, and ordered: "Go and invite Master Yang, as well as Master Jin and Master Jian." Glancing at Heidan, he said again: "There is also Master Xia." Xia Yuanji, the emperor pointed out to Heidan teacher.

Yang Shiqi has a dignified appearance, is shrewd and mature, and is erudite and upright.

Jian Yi has warm eyebrows and eyes, like a pool of deep water, cautious and considerate.

Jin Youzi is tall and thin, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and he is quick-witted and quick-witted.

Xia Yuanji is short in stature, but he has hills and valleys in his chest. He is the best at planning all the money and food for the soldiers and horses in the world.

In the flourishing age of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of talents gathered together.I stood behind the princess and listened to these ministers who are capable of governing the world express their opinions, and I benefited a lot.I just suddenly wondered why the resourceful Yang Rong didn't show up.

Yang Shiqi and Jin Youzi supported Heidan, while Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji advocated that "things will be smooth when things are slow", and they should not make rash advances.

The prince finally decided to check the direction of the wind tomorrow morning. If the emperor wanted to investigate the case and was eager to know the result, he would throw out the plan of examining the body of the concubine Quan.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, the emperor did not give the prince a chance to speak.

The storm that was resisted by me and the princess more than a year ago did not disappear, but changed its way and made a comeback.
