The Crown Prince is Actually a Princess!

The envoy of Shen Yuan shook his head and said that he did not know, "A Hibiscus is extremely harmful. As early as 50 years ago, many countries explicitly banned the cultivation of A Hibiscus, and when we saw wild A Hibiscus, we had to eradicate it. No one in the North Yan country should dare to plant A Hibiscus ."

Murongci and Shen Zhiyan asked a few more questions before they said goodbye to the hospital envoy Shen and left the hospital.

Qin Ruo also felt the seriousness of the situation, "His Royal Highness, do you suspect that Master Zhuang was killed by taking too much Afurong ointment?"

Shen Zhiyan nodded solemnly, "With my years of post-mortem experience, I can ascertain that Master Zhuang was poisoned by taking Afurong ointment."

"Transfer this case to Dali Temple, don't let Jingzhaofu interfere." Murongci made a decision.

"Okay. I will tell Master Gu the reason." He looked at the sky, the sun slanted, "His Royal Highness, I want to go to the Ministry of Engineering."

"My palace will go with you," she said firmly.

He knew that His Highness was obsessed with investigating the case, so Qin Ruo followed to the Ministry of Engineering.

Liubuyamen is in the palace, close to the palace gate. When they arrived at the Ministry of Industry, most of the officials in the Yamen did not leave.

Seeing His Royal Highness and Lord Shen, the hero who settled the case, came to the Ministry of Industry, the officials of the Ministry of Industry, large and small, were a little confused: Is this for the case of Zhuang Qin?

The Minister of Engineering was not there, and Zhang Zhong, the minister of the Ministry of Engineering, hurriedly invited them in and waited on them with tea.

Shen Zhiyan refreshed his eyebrows elegantly, "Masters, today Shen is here for a routine inquiry."

"Master Shen, please say, we must know everything we know." Zhang Zhongxin, the minister of the Ministry of Engineering, smiled. "We have worked with Master Zhuang for many years. He suddenly fell ill and died. We are also very sad."

"Do you think Master Zhuang is unusual lately?" Shen Zhiyan asked.

"I found out a long time ago. I have worked with Master Zhuang for many years. He has always been diligent, rigorous, and careful. During the past six months, I don’t know what’s going on, and I always make mistakes. I told him several times, and he said that he would pay attention and change it, but It's still wrong." The engineer sighed, "He is getting thinner and thinner, skinny and a bit scary. I don't know if he is suffering from a serious illness."

"Recently, Master Zhuang's reaction is very slow, and he only answered when he was called three times. He yawned and seemed to be unable to sleep all day. We all guessed that he must have served him more beautiful girls at night, and squeezed him dry. ." A small official urged the narrow path.

"Before the Prince's Hall, pay attention to measure." Zhang Zhong glared at him, his eyes stern.

"Other than that, what is unusual about Master Zhuang?" Murong Ci secretly observed Zhang Zhong.

"Xiaguan remembered that, once when Xiaguan went to the hut, he heard a weird sound, so he looked for it behind." Another young official said, "Walking to the back of the hut, Xiaguan saw Master Zhuang squatting in the corner and twitching constantly. , His face was scary white, like a ghost. Xiaguan called him, he seemed to see Xiaguan, but he didn't seem to see him, his eyes floating in the air, it was scary."

"Does he have any hobbies?" Shen Zhiyan asked again.

"Master Zhuang likes to drink tea, and he has to make a cup of hot tea every day. But recently, for some reason, he doesn't drink much tea anymore, and he is listless in everything." A small official replied.

"His Royal Highness, Lord Shen, is Lord Zhuang really dead?" Zhang Zhong asked cautiously.

"Dali Temple is under investigation, and the details of the case cannot be disclosed for the time being, please forgive me." Shen Zhiyan said coldly.

"Apart from going back to the home and the Ministry of Industry, where does Master Zhuang like to go? Or do you have any hobbies?" Murong Ci asked again.

"Although the junior officials have worked with Master Zhuang for many years, my colleagues rarely mention personal affairs. Where Master Zhuang likes to go to drink tea and wine, the junior officials really don't know." Zhang Zhong replied cautiously, then looked at the other officials, his eyes were bright. Slightly flashed, "Do you know?"

"The officials don't know." The others said in unison.

It's so obvious, how could Shen Zhiyan and Murongci fail to see it?

Perhaps Zhang Zhong was worried about what would be involved in Zhuang Qin's death. They were worried that they would be implicated, so they gave the subordinate officials a wink and asked them not to say more.

After coming out of the Ministry of Engineering, Qin Ruo hummed angrily: "The few people in the Ministry of Engineering are too much. They dare not even answer the questions of His Highness."

Shen Zhiyan smiled, "Understandable. Many people want to protect themselves, saying less and making more mistakes."

Murong's eyebrows were slightly pressed, "From what Mrs. Zhuang and the staff of the Ministry of Engineering said, Master Zhuang's temperament should have changed drastically in the past six months. It seems that he has been taking Afurong ointment for half a year."

"Moreover, he never smoked in the Ministry of Industry. He also smoked in the warm pavilion of the study in the house. It was very hidden and not let his family know." He went on to analyze, "Because if someone knows that he takes Afurong ointment, not only will he be convicted. , The dealer will suffer too."

"He usually smokes Afurong ointment in the dead of night, so he often doesn't go to bed in his dormitory. Last night, he lay on the bamboo couch and sucked as usual, but he sucked too much."

"He seems to have seen many beautiful visions. He lay in Nuan Pavilion for a long time and had many beautiful dreams. Then he woke up and came to the outside room to sit in front of the bookcase and wanted to write something. Suddenly, he felt out of breath. The ink dripped off the white paper. He was very uncomfortable. He wanted to shout, but he couldn't."

"He still doesn't want to die, he stood up forcibly, wanted to go out and shout, and accidentally swept a book on the case to the ground, but he was so weak that he felt strenuous and uncomfortable even taking a breath... After two steps, I fell to the ground, and it felt more and more difficult to breathe..."

Murongci and Shen Zhiyan looked at each other, frowning in silence.

Qin Ruo stretched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness, Lord Shen, you are so amazing. According to what you said, the slave seems to have seen the whole process of Master Zhuang's death."

Shen Zhiyan's expression became heavier, "The most important thing now is, where did Afurong cream come from."

Murong nodded in resignation, "Some people take risks and secretly buy and sell Afurong ointment to harm the people."

Qin Ruo said suddenly: "Master Zhuang will buy Afurong ointment by himself? Will he order his cronies to buy it? For example, a housekeeper."

Murongci's eyes lit up and he was surprised: "Yes, we are going to ask the dealer's butler."

Shen Zhiyan said: "His Royal Highness, it's getting late, let's go to the dealer tomorrow."

Qin Ruo also persuaded him to go there again, but Murongci had no choice but to give up and return to the Eastern Palace.

At night, Murongci was about to go to bed after taking a shower, planning to get up early tomorrow, Qin Ruo came in with two pieces of paper, and said: "Your Highness, a letter from Master Rong."

Murongci unfolded the letter into small pieces, and it turned out that it was about Linglongxuan.

Linglongxuan was founded five years ago, specializing in high-quality jade, but Linglongxuan is not that simple. The facade of Linglongxuan is not big, there are not many jade articles in it, and there are very few customers coming to the door. Isn’t it strange that it can be open for five years?

Rong Zhan stared at Linglongxuan four years ago. After four years of staring, he still hasn’t seen the boss show up. Only the shopkeeper and a man are the ones who receive guests in the shop. No one knows the name of the boss behind the scenes. .

Rong Zhan also said that Linglongxuan's jade wares are only a front, but in fact it is secretly engaging in other activities. As for what it is, it needs to be further investigated.

Murong's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Master Xu said that Wan Fang and Wang Tao like to go to Linglongxuan to see jade, presumably not to see jade."

Suddenly, something seemed to flash by, and her eyes lit up, "Wan Fang and Wang Tao are going to Linglongxuan to discuss business and weapons!"

"If Linglongxuan is really engaged in other activities, it is really possible that it is secretly purchasing the weapons of the military supervisor." Qin Ruo pondered, "The boss behind Linglongxuan must not be simple."

"It seems that Linglongxuan must go." Murongci's bright eyes condensed coldly.

...

The next morning, Murongci and Qin Ruo had just arrived at Dali Temple when they saw Shen Zhiyan taking two yamen out.

Murongci asked him from a small window: "Zhiyan, where are you going?"

Seeing that it was His Royal Highness, he immediately drove over and said, "The servant of the Gan family, who is the head of the household, went to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case, saying that Lord Gan is dead. Jingzhao Mansion sent someone to report that I was going to Gan. Take a look at home."

"My palace will go with you. You are leading the way." Her heart sank, and another court commander died.

"The head of the household is dead?" Qin Ruo thoughtfully, "I don't know how he died."

Shen Zhiyan led the way, the speed was not fast, and the carriage just caught up.

The door of Gan's house is similar to that of the dealer, and it is also in an alley. The news has not spread, so no people are watching at the entrance of the alley.

Murongci hurriedly got out of the carriage and followed him into Gan's house.

Just like yesterday, the head hunters and yamen of Jingzhao Mansion are all here, interrogating the subordinates and masters of the Gan family.

Head catcher came over, saw the two handsome boys there yesterday, nodded to them, and then said: "Shen, according to the housekeeper of the Gan family, did not see Lord Gan getting up early this morning, and Mrs. Gan felt strange and went to the study together. Look. The study was bolted, no matter how they tapped the door, there was no movement inside. Mrs. Gan and the housekeeper were worried about Lord Gan’s accident and called some guards to knock the door open. After they entered, they saw Lord Gan lying on the small couch inside. , The man is dead."

Shen Zhiyan asked: "Is the corpse still in the study?"

"Still in the study. Mrs. Gan found that Lord Gan was dead, so she hurriedly called for the doctor to report the case to Jingzhao Mansion." The catcher replied.

"Have you kept your first love at the study site?" An inexplicable anxiety surged in Murongci's heart.

"Master Gan's son and daughter have both been in the study, but the initial love at the scene should not be very disruptive." Catching the head, "Just now, Wu Zuo conducted a preliminary test on Master Gan, and Wu Zuo said that, like Master Zhuang yesterday, it should be a drug problem. Died."

Her heart sank suddenly, and she followed Shen Zhiyan into it.

In front of the study, Mrs. Gan fell into her mother’s arms, distraught with grief. The young men and women standing aside were the sons and daughters of Mrs. Gan. All the women looked sad, their eyes were red and swollen, and the tears kept falling. It was sad frowned, and the water was shaking in his eyes.

The daughter of the Gan family saw Shen Zhiyan and immediately ran over with the help of the maid, crying sadly, "Master Shen, my father died strangely, you must find out the cause of my father's death..."
