Go back to ancient times to explore the case

Yan Qingchuan coughed lightly, did not respond again, and talked about business: "Continue talking."

Xie Yu'an suppressed a frivolous smile, and said seriously: "The little maid only knew that the person who had an affair with Ling Jieyu was noble, but she never thought that it was the prince, and she didn't know what happened afterwards. Someone brought a box of snacks, Ling Jieyu was very happy to see it, and even rewarded her with a piece, but after eating, Yeling Jieyu's lower body was bleeding profusely, her throat was ulcerated, and so was she.

The other people in the palace were terrified and rushed to call the imperial doctor, but the one who waited was Yuan Qiandi with a gloomy face. "

"What happened later, just like the rumors in the palace, the empress concubine had an affair with the guards, and was forced into a claustrophobic room by the emperor to starve to death."

After Xie Yu'an finished speaking, he already guessed that the pastry that caused the little maid to lose her voice and Lingjie's life was given by the noble prince. It is not difficult to guess why he wanted to kill the killer. He thought about being responsible for his father's imperial concubine, but he was just coveting the other's youthful beauty, or pursuing this kind of secret stimulation.

After Ling Jieyu became pregnant, she probably didn't want to abort their child. The crown prince was worried that this matter would come to light and the position of the Lord of the East Palace would not be guaranteed, so he continued to talk tenderly while on the other hand, he had already made a plan to bring the child to her. This matter was planted on the head of the guards, and then Ling Jieyu was killed.

Xie Yu'an thought of the prince's upright face, and thought of his death, and felt that evil would be rewarded with evil.

Although they were reluctant, they still had to find the real culprit who killed the prince and give the emperor a job.

The two then went to the East Palace to investigate. The majestic and precious hall was now covered with layers of onyx, and the eyes were all white. The palace people also changed into plain clothes, and their expressions were sad.

After Yan Qingchuan showed the warrant, he took Xie Yu'an into the prince's dormitory. Inside the dormitory, a woman in white was sitting in front of the prince's couch with a lost expression.

"Prince Liangdi, Yin." Yan Qingchuan leaned close to Xie Yu'an's ear and introduced in a low voice, then walked a few steps to the couch and saluted: "Chen Qingtian Secretary Yan Qingchuan was ordered to investigate the case of the crown prince, and met Liangdi."

Yin Liangdi glanced at her lightly, "Did Master Yan find out anything?"

Yan Qingchuan replied formulaically: "The case must be kept secret, so we can't disclose it to Di Liang for the time being. I hope Di Liang will understand."

Yin Liangdi sneered: "Then you should keep it a secret, and don't let the image of His Highness the crown prince collapse in the hearts of the common people and His Majesty." After finishing speaking, she got up with a flick of her sleeves and strode away from the palace.

Xie Yu'an wondered: "Could it be that Emperor Liang also knows that the crown prince has an affair with the emperor's concubine?"

"It's hard to hide this kind of thing from the person next to my pillow." Yan Qingchuan said indifferently.

Xie Yu'an glanced at her, and immediately reassured: "Oh, don't worry, Mr. Yan, the person next to me is reliable."

Yan Qingchuan glanced at her, and then looked around in the bedroom. She walked to the window, looked at a small flower field in the yard, and called Xie Yu'an: "Come and see, does this flower look like the potted flower in the claustrophobic room?" .”

Xie Yu'an poked her head out of the window and took a closer look. It was a bit similar. She called a servant and asked, "Is this flower planted by His Royal Highness?"

The servant replied: "Well, this is His Royal Highness's favorite flower, and he has been instructing the inner eunuch to take care of it carefully. After His Highness was locked up in a confined room, the inner eunuch thought that His Highness was depressed, so he picked a few flowers and put them in potted plants to bring to him. His Highness relieved the boredom, but he didn't want to..."

Xie Yu'an immediately asked: "Where is the prince's inner eunuch now?"

"Two days before His Highness's accident, the eunuch went out of the palace to visit relatives, and it was time to come back, but there was no sign of him."

"Then do you know where he went when he left the palace?"

The servant thought for a while and replied: "Master Neijian is from Kyoto, and I heard that he has a residence in Sifang."

Yan Qingchuan and Xie Yu'an didn't ask any more questions, and immediately went to the palace, and found out the detailed information of the prince's inner eunuch, including his residence in Kyoto outside the palace.

The two immediately left the palace and went to Sifang.After leaving the palace, Xie Yu'an changed into an outfit and put on the human leather mask that he had made before.

Yan Qingchuan wasn't very used to this beautiful but unfamiliar face, but Xie Yu'an looked in a good mood every time he wore this mask.

"Master Yan, if you want to see it, just look at it openly. What is the relationship between the two of us, you have to watch it secretly."

Yan Qingchuan immediately looked back, humming softly: "Who wants to see you." After speaking, she walked to a remote courtyard, which was also the residence of the prince's inner prisoner outside the palace.

The courtyard was very deserted, the door was slightly open, the two stepped into the small courtyard, and suddenly saw a broken wine bottle, both had a bad premonition at the same time.

Right now, the investigation of the prince's case is going smoothly without encountering obstacles, but past experience tells them that if things go well, there must be demons.

And the scene they saw when they opened the door really met their premonition.

The room was filled with the smell of decaying corpses, and mosquitoes and flies had been born in this early spring, hovering over the rotting corpse on the bed.

Yan Qingchuan and Xie Yu'an covered their mouths and noses, and walked slowly to the side of the couch, only to see that the corpse had already rotted beyond human form, holding a porcelain bottle in his hand, and a few pills rolled down on the couch.

After getting closer, the disgusting smell was even more offensive, Xie Yu'an stretched out his hand to stop Yan Qingchuan and said, "Let me check, Mr. Yan, you go out first."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Yan Qingchuan pulled out the dagger from his waist and stretched out his arm, picked up the corpse's clothes with the tip of the knife, and checked the condition of the body surface.

Xie Yu'an withdrew his hand silently, once again deeply realizing that Master Yan is not a delicate and weak girl.

Yan Qingchuan looked at the corpse for a while, then closed his hands and said, "At least seven days have passed since he died." After speaking, she leaned over to pick up the pills and smelled them, crushed another one, and observed the dregs of the medicine.

"This medicine appears to be a common sedative pill, generally used to soothe and calm people with heart problems."

After hearing this, Xie Yu'an focused on observing the state of the corpse's face, "It does look like a sudden death." She paused, then raised her finger to the hand inside the corpse, "However, this is just what the murderer wants us to believe."

Yan Qingchuan looked along her hand, the corpse's hand was curled into a fist, but the index finger was slightly stretched out, pointing to the wall at the end of the bed.

Yan Qingchuan immediately walked to the end of the bed, inserted the tip of the dagger into a corner of the brick seam, pried it slightly, the brick loosened and slid down, revealing a space behind, she put her hand inside, and after a little groping, she found a letter between her fingers. letter.

Open the letter paper and look, the truth is already clear.

This is a reserved confession, which states that he was forced by the Wuji Pavilion to drive the prince crazy step by step with the flowers of Nirvana and the prince's secrets, and then induce him to commit suicide.

Xie Yu'an went back to the timeline and various clues for a while, and then clarified the whole story of the prince's suicide case.

First, the prince and Ling Jieyu were having an affair in private, and the prince made a plan to frame Ling Jieyu to death, but the matter was discovered by the Wuji Pavilion, and the Wuji Pavilion forced the inner eunuch to bring the hallucinogenic flower that had been infused with the Nirvana medicine into the confined room.

In addition, in the middle of the night, people pretend to be the ghost of Ling Jieyu to stimulate the prince outside the claustrophobic room. Under the dual fear of hallucinations and ghosts outside the house, the prince finally collapsed, locked the door and hanged himself. It disappeared under suffocation, so the prince struggled violently, leaving the Yoshikawa line on his neck.

A typical murder case in a secret room with psychological hints was completed, and Xie Yu'an suddenly felt chills all over his body. Recently, most of the gangsters' actions used people's hearts as means to design various conspiracies and tricks. He really saw through the word "people's hearts".

A man with ambition and understanding of humanity is destined to be a difficult opponent.

"Lord Yan, you can bring this letter into the palace and tell the emperor everything. As for the affair between the crown prince and Jieyu, it's up to you to tell him or not."

Yan Qingchuan took the letter, "What about you?"

Xie Yu'an smiled slightly: "Now that I am a wanted criminal, I naturally have to hide."

Yan Qingchuan nodded, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly stamped her feet, turned around and stared at Xie Yu'an, and ordered: "Don't run around... Also, you must notify me in advance if you do anything. Me, discuss with me, don't act recklessly again."

Xie Yu'an really fell in love with Yan Qingchuan's shy yet pretending appearance, she stepped forward a few steps, and approached Yan Qingchuan: "Okay~ I'm obedient, should Master Yan give me some rewards?"

Yan Qingchuan's eyes wandered, and his momentum became a little weaker, "What reward?"

Xie Yu'an tilted his head and nodded his cheek, the meaning was self-evident.

Yan Qingchuan's cheeks warmed up suddenly, and now the sky is bright and bright, how could she be willing to give Xie Yu'an such a reward.

She turned around and walked two steps forward, then paused again, then quickly turned around, closed her eyes and kissed Xie Yu'an's face indiscriminately, turned around and then fled away.

Seeing Yan Qingchuan's disappearing back quickly, Xie Yu'an couldn't help laughing.

Lovely, Mrs. Yan is so cute, such a lovely person belongs to me, she thought in her heart, her whole heart seemed to be soaked in a honey pot, and the sweetness spread in her heart.

She was immersed in this sweet atmosphere, and suddenly the electronic sound of the system sounded in her mind.

"Is this the sour smell of love in human mouths?"

Xie Yu'an was in a good mood, so he didn't care about it, and swayed towards Wen Ruo Pavilion with his hands behind his back.

On Yan Qingchuan's side, after entering the palace, she met Emperor Yuanqian directly. She presented the letter from the inner supervisor, and then reported the truth of the investigation by herself and Xie Yu'an to Emperor Yuanqian one by one, but mentioned the relationship between the prince and Jieyu. At the time of the incident, she spoke in an extremely cryptic manner, observing Emperor Yuan Qian's face from time to time.

Fortunately, Emperor Yuan Qian was not as angry as she thought. He only said that he knew it very tiredly, and then said: "The matter of the prince, let it go, tomorrow I will promote your official position in the court, and you can let go of it in the future." Hands and feet to investigate the black party behind the scenes."

Emperor Yuanqian took out a bright yellow pure gold token from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Qingchuan, "This talisman will appear, as if I were there in person. At critical moments, you can use this talisman to exercise imperial power for me. Cut it first and then play it."

Yan Qingchuan was stunned. She didn't dare to take over such a power talisman easily, but Emperor Yuan Qian said without waiting for her to refuse: "Wen Ruo, I trusted you, just like I trusted my teacher back then, but I couldn't protect you in the end. Good teacher, so I'm giving you this token now, it's enough to protect you, and it can be regarded as... some compensation for the Yan family."

Yan Qingchuan's lips moved slightly, and finally knelt down on one knee to accept the token.

After Yan Qingchuan left, only the sound of Emperor Yuan Qian's heavy breathing remained in the huge palace. He half leaned on the dragon couch, closed his eyes to rest, and after a while, he called: "Feng Sheng."

In the back room of the palace, a year-old servant walked out quickly, who was also the head servant next to Emperor Yuan Qian.Feng Sheng bowed and came to Emperor Yuan Qian's bed, "Your Majesty... I am very worried about hurting my body, the body of the dragon is important."

Yuan Qian Emperor Ruxiu's face was full of hostility, he pressed his brows heavily, and said darkly: "I really raised a good son."

Feng Sheng didn't answer, and stood aside with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes.

Emperor Yuan Qian's jaw twitched, and his clenched teeth loosened and closed. It was obviously difficult to swallow the anger and humiliation of his son and his concubine, but now that both of them are dead, he has no way to vent his outrageous anger.

"Forget it, what's the news from the spies?"

Feng Sheng immediately said: "The owner of the Wuji Pavilion is extremely cautious. The spies have not found out his identity yet, and Yan Shaoqing seems to be planning to investigate from the Taiwei."

"Taiwei? That's fine. His Excellency Taiwei has been in power for decades, assisting the late emperor and His Majesty, serving the country and the people. He has worked hard and made great achievements. It's time to abdicate."

Emperor Yuan Qian said solemnly: "The game of chess in the court has not changed for a long time, and it is time to overthrow it and start over."

"It will be as His Majesty wishes."

Emperor Yuan Qian leaned back on the bed, took a glimpse of the candles in the hall, "Continue to monitor closely, and add fuel to the flames when necessary. Remember, I don't want which side is too dominant. Let them hinder each other and kill each other."

Speaking of the last sentence, Emperor Yuan Qian, who has always been gentle and benevolent, has eyes like a falcon, and his sharpness must be revealed.
