The Crown Prince is Actually a Princess!

Chapter 22: : A homicide in Xiaoyue Pool again

The wind and cold were not over, so Murong resigned and went out to blow the air. With worry and anxiety, he became more ill.

Fortunately, the diagnosis and treatment were timely. She took the decoction, slept, sweated profusely, and got better.

However, Ruyi's death did not let her get out of bed, and asked her to lie down to recuperate.

Murongci solemnly instructed: "If something major happens in the palace, you must tell this palace."

When she was sober, she was thinking about what happened in the past two days, reorganizing the case, and seeing if she could find any doubts. Thinking of being tired, she fell asleep faintly.

The next morning, she got up to take a bath, immediately refreshed a lot, and she was energetic, but her small face was still pale.

She was eating porridge, Qin Ruo hurried in and was about to speak, Ruyi winked her quickly.

Qin Ruo understood the meaning of Ruyi, turned around and went out, but heard the cold voice of His Highness, "Qin Ruo, have you forgotten what the palace said?"

"Your Majesty, the servant girl came in just to ask the palace what he would like to eat for the afternoon meal." Qin Ruo lowered her head when she saw the wishful wink.

"Is Ruyi the master, or is this palace the master?" Murong Ci stared at Ruyi displeasedly.

"His Royal Highness, your wind and cold are not so good, you can't go out to blow the air." Ruyi said confidently.

"This palace is not the delicate boudoir girls. Can a gust of wind blow this palace down?" Murongci looked at Qin Ruo, "Did something happen in the palace?"

"A servant came to report, Xiaoyuechi died a servant."

Before Qin Ruo finished speaking, he saw a figure passing by like a gust of wind beside him.

Ruyi shouted and chased out, angrily, "Your Highness... Your Highness, you can't go out..."

Qin Ruo hurried to catch up, "I will look at your Royal Highness."

Ruyi stomped his feet with anger, how could His Highness not cherish his precious body so much.

Xiaoyue Pond is located on the northwest side of the Royal Garden. The bite is not very wide, but it is full of lotus flowers.

The green water of the pond is floating with green moss, and the branches of lotus leaves stand like a circular green pavilion, and the golden sunlight is shining down, and the whole world is like colored glaze, blurred like a dream.

The breeze is blowing, and the green lotus is swaying.

What's horrible is that a lot of people gathered in Chi An, twittering.

Liu An was waiting for the regent and Dali Temple Secretary Gu Huai to arrive. At this moment, seeing Murongci's arrival, he took a few steps forward and said: "The old slave pays homage to His Royal Highness."

Murongci waved him to get up, and asked as he walked, "What's the matter?"

"The dead servant was discovered by a maid." Liu An's forehead and corners of his eyes were covered with wrinkles, and Fang Zheng's face was smeared with a thin layer of white powder. It was dead white. "The servant is the clothing store. 'S minion, named Xiaolu."

"Has Dali Temple been notified?" She glanced at him, always feeling that under his peaceful and courteous face, he was a shrewd and sinister face.

Once, without his knowledge, she saw his yin and icy eyes staring at his father, like a sharp dagger slowly sliding down his father's forehead, past the tip of his nose, chin, and then to On his chest, and wherever he passed, a blood stain appeared perfectly in his eyes.

This scene, imprinted in her mind, was consistently clear and terrifying.

The insidious look like a poisonous snake entangled Emperor Father; the bloodthirsty look like Shura seemed to swallow Emperor Father whole.

Liu An's voice was feminine, but not shrill, "The old slave sent someone to report, I must care that the adults are coming soon."

Murongci squatted down beside the corpse, shocked.

Like Sun Yumei, the deceased deer's face had blood streaks, and there were wounds pecked by insects and beasts, and the dark purple eunuch's robe had blood stains.

Suddenly, she noticed an aura mixed with bitterness and strength coming from her side, her heart shivering, she turned her head vigilantly, but it was Murong Yu.

Murong Yu glanced at her, then cast his eyes on the corpse.

It was a pair of extremely deep eyes.

It was a pair of radiant eyes.

It was a pair of eyes that melted all wisdom and strategy, and could swallow the soul of the world.

Murong Ci secretly wondered whether these eyes would swallow the entire Yan Kingdom, and both the father and her would become a ray of dead souls.

She stood up and walked aside and saw Shen Zhiyan hurriedly approaching.

It is hard to imagine that the eldest son of a grandiose, graceful, and promising prince Shen Jiadi was only interested in murders and corpses.

While she was thinking about it, Shen Zhiyan had already begun a preliminary autopsy.

Dali Temple Secretary Gu Huai was busy with official duties and sent Shen Zhiyan this time. In fact, it didn't make much difference whether Gu Huai came or not.

"It is quite similar to the case of Sun Yumei." Murong Yu said in a deep voice, standing up, standing tall and straight, eye-catching.

"At first glance, they are very similar." Shen Zhiyan put on thin gloves and pressed the deceased's chest. "The rupture of internal organs is fatal. The deceased's limbs and face have been bitten wounds."

"When did you die?" Murong Ci asked.

"It should be around five hours later." He stood up and said to Liu An, "The cell chief sent someone to send the corpse to Dali Temple."

"Master Shen, don't worry, the old slave will order to go down." Liu An immediately ordered several servants.

The onlookers whispered, and heated discussions flooded like a tide.

A palace lady was terrified and terrified, and said: "Heaven descends blood jade, Qing Yuan's blood is raining, and now the deer died in Xiaoyue Pond and was bitten to death by a fish, isn't it a fish cannibal?

Another court lady said: "Everything sung in the ballad is fulfilled, it's terrible. Will it be us next to be killed by a fish?"

"Don't tell me, I'm so scared. I must not dare to sleep at night." A timid palace maid shivered and stood close to her companion.

"Then according to the song, what will happen next?" a servant asked.

"It seems to be... Jade stealing the country, what does this mean?"

"I don't know. Will it be mass murder in the palace and we are all going to die?" A palace lady's eyes were full of fear.

"No matter what we do in the future, we shouldn't be alone. Try to be two or three people together."

The more they talked, the more ridiculous, and the more they talked, the more vigorous they were. Liu An gave a heavy cough, and those palaces fell silent in fear and gradually dispersed.

Murongci suddenly approached Shen Zhiyan, lowered his voice and said in his ear: "It's better to go to the deceased's residence and have a look."

He nodded, "Master, I want to go to the place where the deceased lives, can you find a palace man to lead me over?"

Seeing their intimate attitude, Murong Yu suddenly felt a scorching heat rushing to his chest, the scorching sun became more and more venomous, and the sunlight pierced his eyes very uncomfortably.

Liu An naturally wouldn't refuse, and pointed to a servant to lead them over.

Looking at the two figures drifting away, and finally being overwhelmed by Zhu Qiang and Bishu, Murong Yu looked back.

The sunlight is getting more and more dazzling.

...

Murongci asked Qin Ruo to return to the East Palace first and came to Huanyisuo. Murongci heard a lot of comments.

It seems that the recent events and the song have caused panic in the palace and the streets of the city, and a large cloud of haze enveloped the Emperor Jing and cleared in April.

The deceased deer was a palace resident who did rough work in the clothing store and lived in a shophouse in Beiyuan of the clothing store.

There are two kinds of common shops, one is relatively large and can accommodate twelve people, and the other is relatively small and only accommodates eight people. Xiaolu lives in a small shop with eight people.

The maternal queen of the housekeeper of the dressing house introduced patiently, bowed her head, laughed with her, and bowed her knees.

"The waiters who were in the same room with Xiaolu were all called over and concentrated at the door."

After finishing the order, Murong Ci walked into the shop, and Mother Wang went immediately without daring to delay.

The room is not big. The two-foot-high stone kang has eight berths from east to west. There is a closet on the west wall, and eight small cabinets are divided for palace residents to put things. There are two mottled tables in front of the stone kang, and piles of miscellaneous things are stacked on the tables.

Shen Zhiyan walked to Xiaolu's berth, his eyes swept across inch by inch, and then went to check the cabinet.

"Have you found it?" Murong Ci asked.

"No." He looked around and walked out of the room.

At this time, Mother Wang had already made Xiaolu's seven little friends stand in a row, and said in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness and Lord Shen want to ask questions, you must answer one by one, you know?"

The seven waiters said in unison: "Yes."

The corners of Shen Zhiyan's lips slanted slightly, with a smile, "You don't need to be nervous, this officer is just a routine inquiry. Do you know when the deer stopped last night?"

"Minions usually have to rest after the Haishi." A servant said.

"The minion remembers that the deer was lying down with the minions." Another servant said.

"The minion remembered it. The minion woke up midway through the night and went to the cottage." A small eyed servant said, "After the minion came back, I saw that the bed of the deer was empty."

"Do you remember that the deer was in the room when you went out?" Shen Zhiyan asked quickly.

"I don't remember very much. At that time, the minion couldn't hold it back anymore, and ran out in a hurry without paying attention." The small-eyed servant replied.

"What time was it?" Murongci asked Shen Zhiyan with a glance.

"The minion doesn't know too well, it's about four more days later." The little-eyed waiter's face was quite apologetic.

"Before going to bed last night, what unusual behavior did the deer do?" Shen Zhiyan asked again.

"No. As usual, Xiaolu came back to sleep after taking a shower." A waiter replied, "I chatted with the minions before going to bed."

After that, Murongci and Shen Zhiyan came out of Huanyi, and she said as she walked: "My palace feels that the people behind the scenes just grabbed a person at will and killed him. The little deer happened to be out in the middle of the night and suffered a catastrophe of life and death."

Shen Zhiyan nodded in agreement, "I think so too. However, why should the people of the layout set up the fish and man-eating game in Luohe and the palace respectively?"

She speculated: "The people in the layout want to cause greater panic? Or do you want to warn us of the urgency of fish cannibalism and jade Qingguo?"

At this time, he was full of anxiety, "Even if we know that the ballad and these incidents point to that person, what can we do? Will he be taken to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation?"
