Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 305 It’s Time for Me to Take Action

The scene had also been cleaned up. Apart from Princess Jing'an and her maid, there were no signs of any human activity, and it seemed that no one had broken in.

"What is that poison?"

Since it was a murder by poisoning, where the poison came from is the key clue.

"This poison...I'm afraid we need to ask the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to check it out."

After all, the coroner can only perform autopsies and is not good enough to identify a deadly poison at a glance.

"Also... apart from the fact that Princess Jing'an was poisoned, no related poison was found at the scene, whether it was tea, snacks, or anything else. But one thing is certain, she had no obvious scars on her body, and she did not resist. The poison was taken by Princess Jing'an without her knowledge."

Shen Wang couldn't answer the question about the poison and could only continue talking about his discovery.

Since she was unaware, either the poison had been given long ago and she couldn't detect it, or it was someone she wouldn't suspect.

But even the maids who served her were from the palace.

There was no way she was defenseless.

This only means that the poison had been prepared long ago.

If this was the case, someone must have taken the poison away quietly after she took it, otherwise the scene could not have been so clean.

The one who can come and go here easily is the maid.

"All the palace servants in this small courtyard are locked up in the back room, and the maid Lian'er is also here."

The emperor was the first to arrive.

Of course, we took control of this place as soon as possible.

"Then let's interrogate Lian'er first."

But when they all went to the back room and opened the door, they saw three palace maids tied up in the room, all hanging on the beam.

All three were hanged.

Shen Zhishu also saw this scene and subconsciously stepped back and hid behind Yan Chu.

The next second, Yan Chu took her out.

"Master Shen, go in and take a look."

Maybe the three people who knew about it are all dead?

Yan Chu's face was covered with a thick layer of frost.

Why are they all dead? They had nothing to do with this, why?

Shen Zhishu was frightened, but he didn't expect that they would die.

Why did the Queen Mother do this?

"Shu'er, are you scared?"

Yan Chu's face was as cold as frosty, but when he turned around and saw her, his eyes were always gentle.

Shen Zhishu felt complicated and heavy inside.

Looking at Yan Chu who thought he was scared, he felt powerless.

How would he feel if he knew that what was happening now was related to him?

"Forget it, go back to Kunning Palace first. When we are done with things here, I will let Lord Shen go to see you."

Who knows what's next?

"Zhou Defu, send the virtuous concubine back to the palace."

Shen Zhishu didn't refuse either.

So many people died, and she also wanted to know what happened.

Just as I was about to leave the hospital, I saw Concubine Yue.

"Who do you think did it?"

How could she possibly know this?

"Why did Princess Jing'an die? Why did she choose to stay in the palace and not return to the frontier? Does Concubine Xian know the inside story?"

She asked again.

"Don't you care about Princess Jing'an's affairs?"

Anyway, it has nothing to do with you, Concubine Yue, so why bother asking so carefully?

"If you care about the truth, you should wait for Lord Shen to investigate the case. I don't have that ability."

Concubine Yue frowned and looked very unhappy when she heard this.

"I really can't help you. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Shen Zhishu, who was in a state of confusion, bowed and withdrew, returning to Kunning Palace.

She really wanted to go to the Queen Mother to ask for clarification, but at this moment, she did not dare to act rashly.

Afraid of revealing any clues.

So we can only wait.

Wait until this matter is completely over.

But the palace was in chaos because of Princess Jing'an's case.

After hearing about this, Su Rong was completely stunned.

"Who died?"

"Yes...Princess Jing'an, the news has spread everywhere. The emperor even sent the imperial guards to guard the palace gates to prevent anyone from leaking the news."

Qianyue's expression was also extremely serious.

Su Rong's mind was full of thoughts about what happened last night.

At that time, all her attention was on Shen Zhishu, so she didn't care too much about Jing'an.

But now think about it, she actually refused to go back to the frontier and wanted to stay in the palace?

It was clear that she had been imprisoned by the emperor before, so what was there for her to stay here?

"Go and have a look."

She had to know why Jing'an died.

She had just woken up and had no time to put on her makeup properly. She just tied her long hair with a hairpin and went out.

"There's no need to worry. The Emperor is already there."

Qianyue quickly caught up.

"It is precisely because he is here that I have to go there."

She had a premonition that the Queen Mother had something to do with Princess Jing'an's death.

This may be her best chance to get hold of something against the Queen Mother.

"The Emperor has also summoned Lord Shen to the palace, so he must be there now."

Su Rong was stunned for a moment.

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up."

Shen Wang is here, so there is no time to delay.

She almost ran all the way there.

In the back room, Shen Wang had already searched carefully.

Three bodies were also taken down from the rafters.

About half an hour after Shen Zhishu left.

"Your Majesty, they were strangled and hung, and this was found in the hands of the dead."

It was a bracelet woven with leather.

There are special patterns on the leather.

Because it is special, it is easy to recognize.

Yan Chu only took a glance, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

"If I am not mistaken, the totem above is exclusive to the outskirts of the Great Wall. I have seen such accessories on the head of the Hanshan tribe before. The belt and the jade pendant are all like this.

A totem that looks very much like flame, and only people outside the Great Wall would like to wear it in a leather bracelet.

"So, the people who killed these palace servants were from outside the Great Wall?"

Yan Chu spoke in a low voice, as if he was asking himself.

"But last night, the emperor sent people to monitor Kusaya and others as they left Kyoto."

Shen Wang couldn't help but add a sentence.

Unless there are still some evil remnants who sneaked into the palace.

The more Shen Wang thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

If the person who poisoned Jing'an is really someone from outside the Great Wall, then we will be in real trouble.

People died in the palace, and they used such despicable means. It was obvious that they didn't want people to find out outside the Great Wall.

Are they trying to frame Yan Chao?

What's the purpose?

He already had second thoughts, did he want to start a war?

Shen Wang was terrified and hung his head, not daring to speak.

But he could feel that the emperor in front of him was emitting a cold and murderous aura.

He must have thought of everything I could think of.

How can a ruler of a country endure such calculations and insults?

At this moment, Su Rong arrived.

She came hurriedly, her belly bulging.

After five months of pregnancy, the baby is already pregnant.

But he walks very lightly and quickly, and is very resolute and decisive. After all, he is a martial artist and has good physical fitness.

"emperor."

She saluted and subconsciously looked at the corpse behind Yan Chu.

Without waiting for Yan Chu to speak, he walked forward and checked one by one.

"Where is Princess Jing'an?"

The murderer's method was really clumsy. He tried to cover up his crime, but it was full of loopholes.
