The upright forensic doctor bumped into the drama prince

After cleaning up the dirt on the child and wrapping it carefully in the quilt, Ji Linglan came to the bed and began to deal with Li Liner's incision.He stretched out his hand to touch Li Liner's breathing, and it stopped as expected. He sighed and carefully sewed up the incision.

After putting all the things back into the dissecting room, Ji Linglan walked out of the room with the child in her arms.

Seeing him coming out, Fu Nanping hurried forward and asked, "Alan, how is the situation?"

Ji Linglan handed over the child in her arms, bowed and said: "Go back to the lord, Xiaomin only kept the child, and the side concubine has unfortunately passed away."

Fu Nanping took the child carefully without even looking at it, and said sadly: "Alan, you have tried your best, you can only blame Lin'er for being poor, and you can't watch our prince grow up."

"Thank you, my lord, for your understanding, and Xiaomin will leave."

Fu Nanping finally invited Ji Linglan into the mansion, how could he let him go so easily, handed the child in his arms to Zhou Liang, and said: "Alan, Lin'er was always healthy, but suddenly she was born prematurely, This king suspects that someone deliberately murdered him. I have heard that A Lan is very careful and good at investigating cases, why not help me find the murderer to comfort Liner's spirit in heaven."

"If the prince has any doubts, he can report it to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. I really dare not make mistakes."

Zhou Liang changed his previous flattery, and scolded sharply: "Presumptuous! The prince has an order, you dare not obey, you really don't know how to flatter!"

Seeing this, Fu Nanping's expression darkened, and he said: "Alan is my king's distinguished guest, and she just saved the life of the little princess, but now you speak so harshly, do you want me to bear the reputation of revenge?"

Ji Linglan looked up at Fu Nanping in surprise, Fu Nanping hadn't opened the quilt just now, how did he know that the child was a girl.

Zhou Liang's complexion changed when he heard the words, he quickly knelt down on the ground, and said: "My lord, this slave made a slip of the tongue for a while, please forgive me."

"Come here, pull it down and hit the [-]th board again, so that he can have a long memory."

Zhou Liang's face turned pale, but he said gratefully: "Thank you for the gift, my lord."

Fu Nanping sent Zhou Liang off, turned his head to look at Ji Linglan, and said, "Alan, I have some doubts about Lin'er's death. Alan is fine, so I went in with me to check."

Lu Jiu bowed and said, "If Your Highness does not give up, this subordinate is willing to serve His Highness."

Fu Nanping looked at Lu Jiu indifferently, and said, "Commander Lu volunteered, did he consciously have research on medicine, or did he have experience in investigating cases?"

Ji Linglan understands that if Fu Nanping is not given a chance today, he will definitely not let it go. A stalemate with him in Prince Ping's Mansion will only be detrimental to them. Instead of doing this, it's better to see what he wants to do.

Ji Linglan stopped Lu Jiu and said, "Since the prince doesn't dislike it, then the little people will take orders."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Linzi quickly said, "Young Master, no!"

"Ping Wang's mansion is not a sea of ​​swords and flames. I saved the little princess, and I have done nothing wrong. His Highness Ping Wang has always been wise, and he will never repay you with revenge. Are you still afraid that His Highness will harm me? I have made up my mind, you don't need to say any more." Ji Linglan turned Looking at Fu Nanping, he said, "My lord please."

A satisfied smile flashed across Fu Nanping's eyes, he looked at Lu Jiu and Xiao Linzi, and said, "Don't worry, Ah Lan is a distinguished guest with this king. When the matter is over, he will be able to walk out of Prince Ping's mansion safely."

Ji Linglan turned and walked to Li Liner's bedroom, followed by Fu Nanping. When he entered the door, he turned to look at the crowd and said, "No one is allowed to enter without my king's order."

"Hey, what's the matter? Why are you all gathered here? Is Concubine Li safe and sound?" A familiar voice sounded, and Ji Linglan looked at the person coming. Princess Danyang was coming, her dress seemed to be in full bloom as she walked. The beautiful peony is graceful and luxurious.

Fu Nanping was stunned, displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he still went out to greet her, and said: "Aunt Huang, I didn't expect this incident to alarm you."

"What do you mean, the child in Princess Ping's belly had an accident, and now it's the turn of Concubine Li, why is it so difficult for your children in this life? I naturally want to come and have a look. I heard you invited Ah Lan, come here, where is he?"

When Ji Linglan heard Princess Danyang mentioning herself, she hurried out of the room and saluted, "Alan has seen the princess."

Princess Danyang waved her hand, and asked bluntly: "Alan, how is side concubine Li? Where's the child?"

Ji Linglan replied truthfully: "Back to the princess, side concubine Li had a difficult delivery, A Lan only kept the child, and side concubine Li went."

"The concubine Li is gone?"

"Alan is incompetent, please forgive me, princess."

Princess Danyang helped Ji Linglan, sighed, and said, "When a woman is pregnant and gives birth, she has stepped into the gate of hell with one foot, not to mention dystocia. There are so many imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital who are powerless, so how can I blame you. What's more, you saved the child, you are not only innocent, but also meritorious, you should be rewarded."

Princess Danyang untied a jade tablet from her body, stuffed it into Ji Linglan's hand, and said: "I came here in a hurry, and I didn't bring anything with me. This jade tablet is my personal belongings. You keep it, so I can let it go." Three things for you."

Ji Linglan didn't refuse, and put away the jade plaque directly, and said gratefully: "Alan, thank you for the princess's kindness."

Princess Danyang smiled, looked around, and said: "What about the child, hurry up and take it over and show it to me."

The maid on the side quickly stepped forward, carried the child over, and said, "Princess, this is the little princess born by Concubine Li."

"Hello, daughter. I like girls. My daughter is Daddy's little padded jacket." Princess Danyang took the child with her hand, and said with a smile: "This child's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Ping'er. In the future, he will definitely be a great princess. beauty."

Fu Nanping said with a smile: "It is her good fortune to be liked by Aunt Huang, and she will be a blessed one in the future."

"The children of the royal family are naturally blessed."

Seeing the aunt and nephew talking and laughing, Ji Linglan felt extremely uncomfortable. Li Liner's body was still lying in the room with only one door separated, but no one cared about it. This is the tragedy of women in feudal society.

"Aunt Huang, you must be tired after you have been here for so long. Why don't you rest in the main hall and let the concubine accompany you to have a cup of tea and chat for a while. Ping'er still has some things to deal with, so I will come to accompany Aunt Huang later."

"Just now when I came here, I heard that Concubine Li died strangely. What's going on?" Princess Danyang handed the baby to the maid just now.

Fu Nanping's eyes flickered, and he said: "Lin'er has always been healthy. The imperial doctor treated her three days ago, but today she suddenly gave birth prematurely. This king suspects that someone deliberately murdered her, so I left Ah Lan to investigate the matter. .”

Princess Danyang's complexion darkened, and she said: "How dare you murder the royal heir, this person is really daring, since I have encountered it, I will stay and see what happens."

"Aunt Huang, the bedroom is extremely filthy. I'm afraid there will be bad luck. You should move to the main hall and report to Aunt Huang after Ah Lan and I check it out."

Princess Danyang waved her hand and said: "I don't have so many taboos in this palace, let's go, let's go together."

Seeing Princess Danyang enter the bedroom, Fu Nanping's complexion suddenly changed, but it only took a moment for him to return to his original state.He glanced at Ji Linglan and said, "Alan, let's go, let's go in and have a look."

Although the doors and windows were open, a strong smell of blood could already be smelled. Seeing the blood on the bed, Princess Danyang and Fu Nanping frowned.

Ji Linglan said in a timely manner: "Concubine Li died of excessive blood loss. There was a bruise on her abdomen, about the size of a baby's fist, and it was irregularly round. It should have slipped and fell and landed on her abdomen. To."

Princess Danyang asked: "According to what you said, side concubine Li gave birth prematurely because of a slip and fall?"

"It's possible, but I'm not sure." Ji Linglan stepped forward and opened Li Lin'er's hand, saying: "Concubine Li has scratches on her hands, both hands, it should be when she slipped and fell, she used her hands to support her body first , and then couldn’t support the weight, and the abdomen followed closely on the ground.”

Princess Danyang frowned, and said: "How do these servants serve you? Concubine Li is already so old, yet she can still make her slip?"

Fu Nanping raised his voice and said, "Call in all the servants who are serving Concubine Li."

"Yes, my lord."

There was the sound of chaotic footsteps, and seven or eight people walked in "hula la" at the door, all kneeling in the small hall.

Fu Nanping asked aloud: "Why did your master slip and fall today? Who are the waiters around you?"

Everyone looked at each other, and an older nanny said: "My lord, my lady was watching the moon in the pavilion in the back garden last night. When I came back, a dog suddenly jumped out from among the flowers and barked at my lady. My lady was frightened." In the panic, the servants were not in a hurry to help, so the empress fell to the ground. But at that time, the empress did not feel any discomfort. After getting up, she went to find the princess, and she was fine when she returned to the yard. Unexpectedly, the empress started crying in the middle of the night pain, the servants immediately informed the prince."

Princess Danyang asked strangely: "Why did Side Concubine Li go to find Princess Wang?"

The mammy replied truthfully: "Because the dog was raised by the princess, the empress thought that the princess let the dog deliberately to scare him, so she went to ask the princess for an explanation. But the concubine said she was sick, and the prince did not return after entering the palace. Endure it and go back to the yard."

"There are other things like this?" Fu Nanping's face darkened, and he said: "Come here, call the princess to this king. And bring the dog together."

"Yes, my lord."

Ji Linglan ignored Fu Nanping's question, but concentrated on looking at Li Liner's body.On the surface, there are no symptoms of poisoning, but the possibility of using poisons is not ruled out. After all, there are many toxins that do not change significantly after being taken by humans.If it was in modern times, he could still do drug poison testing, but now he can't even do an autopsy.

Suddenly the stain on the pillow caught Ji Linglan's attention, he frowned slightly, and just wanted to take a closer look.A group of people suddenly walked in at the door, he turned his head to look, the woman who walked in first was pale, wearing a light blue dress, with a gentle and demure demeanor, she should be Princess Ping.Followed by two servant girls, an elderly mother.

Lin Wan'er walked to the front of the hall and blessed herself slightly, and said: "The concubine joins the prince, and sees the emperor's aunt."

Princess Danyang waved her hand and said: "Princess Ping, you don't need to be too polite, let's be flat."

A guard walked in with the dog in his arms, and the dog became restless as soon as it entered the door, barking furiously in the direction of the bedroom.

Ji Linglan followed the dog's eyes and found that it was staring at the direction of the screen, so she said aloud, "Put the dog down."

The guard was startled, then looked at Fu Nanping.

Seeing this, Fu Nanping said, "You can do what he says, and you don't have to report back."

The guard responded, and put the dog on the ground. The dog was free, and jumped into the bedroom, and came to the screen, barking even louder.

Ji Linglan looked at the screen, there was a peach pink dress hanging on it, he reached out to take it off, and sure enough, the dog turned his gaze to him, still barking wildly.

Ji Linglan inspected it carefully, and found that the waist of the dress was stained with some powder. He sniffed it closely, and there was a special fragrance.Immediately afterwards, Ji Linglan felt a burst of discomfort, a feeling of excitement and restlessness.He hastily hung his clothes back on the screen and went to the window to breathe.

Seeing this, Princess Danyang asked curiously: "Has Lan found anything?"

Ji Linglan replied truthfully: "Back to the princess, there is some white powder on the dress hanging on the screen. The reason why the dog barks is all due to that powder. Ah Lan doesn't know much about medicine, so I asked the princess to call Yu Yu." The doctor came to confirm."

"Is the imperial doctor still there?" Princess Danyang looked at Fu Nanping.

"Here." Fu Nanping raised his voice and said, "Go and ask Imperial Physician Su to come over."

Ji Linglan waited in front of the window for a while before returning to normal. She couldn't help feeling annoyed that as a forensic doctor, he could make such a stupid mistake.Many poisons can cause harm to the human body through inhalation, such as cyanide/chloride, which can be fatal with only a very small amount.If that powder was a similar poison, then he would probably be a corpse now.

It didn't take long for Su Xing'an to come in from outside the door, and said, "Your Majesty, Su Xing'an has met Princess Danyang, His Highness Prince Ping, and Concubine Wang."

Princess Danyang ordered directly: "The dress on the screen has some powder at the waist, go and see what it is."

"Yes, the officer obeys."

Su Xingan walked into the bedroom and took off his dress in front of the screen.

Ji Linglan came over and pointed to the location of the powder, and said, "Doctor Su, this powder has a strange fragrance, smelling it will make people excited and restless, I wonder what kind of medicine it is?"

Su Xing'an picked up the powder with his fingers, took a closer look, then smelled it closely, pondered for a while, and said: "This is the powder of Red Hinging Herba, and some other spices are mixed in it. The whole plant of Red Hing Xing Cao is poisonous. , and it is highly poisonous, with a floral fragrance, smelling it makes people excited, manic, and accelerates blood flow, especially for pregnant women, if they take it, they will bleed to death from seven orifices."

"This location should be reserved by the sachet." Ji Linglan looked at the maid who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Did Concubine Li wear a sachet yesterday, and if so, where is it?"

The nanny replied: "Yes, Madam has the habit of wearing a sachet, and it's in the drawer of the dressing table."

"Then go get it."

Mammy stood up and walked to the bedroom, took out a sachet embroidered with flowers and plants from the drawer, handed it to Ji Linglan respectfully, and said, "Master, this is the sachet that the empress wore yesterday."

Ji Linglan took the sachet, handed it to Su Xing'an casually, and said, "Please ask Doctor Su to check it."

Su Xing'an said politely: "My lord, you are polite, this is all a matter of my duty."

Su Xingan walked to the table, picked up an empty teacup and put it on the table, untied the sachet, and poured the contents into the teacup. Except for some spices, there was indeed the same white powder mixed in it. The dog who had just calmed down The dog started barking again.

Su Xing'an came to the front of the hall, bowed and said: "Please ask the prince to order someone to catch a living creature."

Fu Nanping looked at the dog barking in the guard's arms, and said, "Isn't there a ready-made one?"

Everyone was startled, Lin Wan'er, who stood aside and hadn't spoken all this time, said, "My lord, Qiuqiu is my concubine's favorite pet, how can she test the poison at will?"

"Pet? If it wasn't because it bumped into Lin'er yesterday, how could Lin'er give birth prematurely? Now it can be tested for poison, which is its only use."

Lin Wan'er stood in front of Qiuqiu, arguing with reason: "My lord, it is clear that someone poisoned Concubine Li's sachet, which caused her to give birth prematurely, and Qiuqiu was also stimulated by the poison, so she collided with her. Can you blame the ball?"

The nurse serving Concubine Li suddenly said: "My lord, this sachet is brought from the concubine by the empress."

Lin Wan'er was startled, but then she came to her senses and said, "Mother Li, you don't want to rant, the concubine Li's death has nothing to do with this concubine!"

"My lord, this servant did not lie. The sachet was indeed taken by the empress from the princess. All the embroidery of the princess is embroidered with a clover pattern. The stitches and stitches were created by everyone Lin for the princess. Others can't learn it. There's one in the lower left corner of that sachet."

Lin Wan'er hurriedly walked to the table, picked up the sachet, looked at the clover on it, and said, "This is indeed my concubine's sachet, but it was lost a few days ago, why is it here?"

Fu Nanping looked at Lin Wan'er coldly, and said, "I still want to ask you, why did your sachet appear at Concubine Li's place? Is the poison in this sachet related to you?"

"My lord, no matter how stupid I am, if I want to harm her, I won't use my sachet. Someone must have framed her." Lin Wan'er said with a dazed expression, and then said: "This poison is harmful to pregnant women, so my Was Wang'er also harmed by it?"

The mammy said again: "My lord, not only the sachet belongs to the princess, but the spices are also sent by the princess."

Fu Nanping looked at Lin Wan'er with a gloomy expression, and said, "You poisonous woman, what else do you want to say?"

Lin Wan'er's complexion turned pale, the disappointment in her eyes could not be concealed, she no longer looked at Fu Nanping, but knelt down in front of Princess Danyang, and said, "Aunt Huang, I was wronged, and the death of Concubine Li has nothing to do with me. Aunt Huang decides for me."

Princess Danyang looked at Fu Nanping, then at Wangfei, and asked, "Princess, why did Madam Li say that you sent someone to deliver the spices?"

Lin Wan'er replied truthfully: "Aunt Huang, the housekeeper of the Ping Palace is in my hands, and the food and clothing of everyone in the backyard will go through my hands, including the high-quality spices distributed to them. It's just that I just looked at the spices. , let people distribute it to each courtyard according to the rules, and they have never even been touched, as the servants in my courtyard can testify.”

The maid beside Lin Wan'er quickly responded: "Yes, Your Highness, the princess has been in a state of depression for a while due to the loss of the little prince. The matter in the mansion is also reported by the housekeeper. The princess listened to it, Hand it over to the housekeeper. The princess has never touched those spices."

Fu Nanping said impatiently: "Aunt Huang doesn't need to listen to their nonsense, whether it is related to her, go to her yard and search, and everything will be clear. Come."

A few guards came in from outside the door, saluted and said: "This subordinate obeys the order."

"Lead someone to search the courtyard of the princess, and don't let go of any suspicious things."

"Yes, your subordinates obey!"

Lin Wan'er looked up at Fu Nanping incredulously, and said with tears in her eyes: "My lord, is this so intolerable?"

"What is the meaning of Wangfei's words? Now that all kinds of evidence point to you, this king naturally wants to seek justice for the dead Lin'er."

Lin Wan'er smiled sarcastically, and said: "Anyone with discerning eyes can tell at a glance that this is a frame-up. The prince is always wise, so how could he not see it? It's just that I'm tired of me and trying every means to force me to give up the position of princess." .”

"Presumptuous!" Fu Nanping raised his hand and slapped him.

Lin Wan'er was beaten so that her head was turned to one side. There were five clear fingerprints on her pale face, and half of her face swelled instantly.Tears fell, and the light in Wang Hao's eyes gradually went out, she said: "Your lord, your slap woke me up, it doesn't matter if you don't want the position of Wang Hao, let's make peace."

Fu Nanping was startled, and then he said angrily: "Heli? Is this king's concubine the one you want or not?"

Lin Wan'er looked directly at Fu Nanping, and said: "My lord, anyway, I have been with you for three years, and I have served you with all my heart for three years. If there is no credit, there should be hard work, right? Do you really want to put me to death?"

Ji Linglan looked at Lin Wan'er, who was kneeling on the ground, but straightened up. From the way she looked at Fu Nanping, it could be seen that she loved Fu Nanping deeply, but she was proud in her bones, so she recognized this. Empress, resolutely chose to leave.

His thoughts were easily exposed, and Fu Nanling's face became even more ugly. He never expected that Lin Wan'er, who has always been obedient and obedient in everything, would have such a transparent mind.

"Lin Wan'er, this king really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to have such a delicate heart. It's a pity that I used the wrong place. If I let this king find out that Lin'er's death was related to you, this king will not tolerate it!"

The sarcasm at the corner of Lin Wan'er's mouth became thicker, and she said: "My lord, the reason you treat me like this is because my natal family has lost power and is useless. If you want to secure the position of crown prince, you urgently need to change to a more powerful princess from your natal family. It’s something everyone knows well, so why bother to cover it up?”

"Presumptuous!" Fu Nanping kicked Lin Wan'er to the ground, and he said angrily, "What a poisonous woman, knowing that she is bound to escape the guilt, she does not hesitate to damage the reputation of this king, she is really a snake!"

"Princess, are you alright?" The maid beside her hurriedly helped her up and asked with concern.

Lin Wan'er braced herself up, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked at Fu Nanping with a sneer, and said, "Snakes and scorpions are heartless? How can snakes and scorpions compare to the prince, even the Nine Serene Cold Pool, they can't compare to the heart of the prince."

Fu Nanping wanted to say more, but was interrupted by the guards who walked in from the door.

"Report to the lord, this subordinate found this in the princess's yard." The guard took out an oiled paper bag, and when he opened it, there was some white powder inside.

Fu Nanping glanced at Lin Wan'er coldly, and said, "Physician Su, come and take a look, these powders are the powder of Xingxingcao."

Su Xing'an looked at Lin Wan'er, sighed inwardly, stepped forward and took the paper bag over, and after examining it carefully, said: "My lord, this powder is indeed made of red xylocarpus."

"Lin Wan'er, what else do you want to say?"

"Naturally, I have something to say. This thing is not mine, and Concubine Li was not killed by me. These are all framing. Even if it is in court, I will say the same thing." Lin Wan'er saw through everything and deeply understood herself. In the current situation, even if she died, she couldn't accept it, and she couldn't make the already crumbling Lin family worse.

"It's hopeless! Come here, arrest the princess and wait for her punishment."

"Yes, my lord."

Two guards came in from outside the door. When they came to Lin Wan'er, they just wanted to stretch out their hands, but Lin Wan'er stopped her and said, "Don't touch me, I will walk by myself."

Lin Wan'er saluted Princess Danyang respectfully, and said, "Your Highness, Wan'er will leave."

Princess Danyang looked at Lin Wan'er with a complex expression, and said: "The matter of Concubine Li is really strange, I will ask Ping'er to investigate thoroughly, and the princess will feel wronged for now."

Lin Wan'er smiled irrefutably, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."

Seeing the back of Lin Wan'er leaving, Ji Linglan couldn't help sighing in her heart, everyone present knew the truth, but no one dared to say it under the control of power.Whether it's Li Lin'er, Lin Wan'er, or even the aloof Princess Danyang, they are all just victims of men's struggle for power and profit.
