Descending Phoenix- To be Emperor - C305
“What?” Li Wan’s concubine went crazy and killed people? ”
After hearing Feng Ningyan’s report, the imperial concubine sat on the chair in shock. She couldn’t understand why Li Wan Xia wanted to kill Su Caijun.
Feng Ningyan washed his face, glad that the human skin mask was not burnt.
“It’s not that Li Wan concubine wanted to kill Su Caijun, but Shen Youhuang wanted to borrow Shen Youhuang’s blade to kill her. At that time, I saw that Li Wan Consort’s eyes were red and her mind was not normal. Furthermore, her bedchamber has a very strange aroma, so I suspect that someone had burned a hallucinatory incense in Li Wan’s room, causing her to hallucinate the moment she saw him and treat him as some sort of demon or demon. ”
“So that’s how it is …” Hearing this, the imperial concubine trembled in fear. She gently held onto her lower abdomen as her heart raced against her chest, “This is too scary. It seems like we must immediately clean up the people from Chen Ming Palace!”
Feng Ningyan added: “Also, that fire was man-made. It was first used to clean up the oil, and then, it was used to close the door and light the fire. From the time we went to interrogate the two girls, to when the spy drugged Li Wan and set fire to her, the time interval was very short, and it was impossible for her to complete it by herself. Not only Chen Ming Palace, the entire harem had to start searching for spies. ”
Imperial Concubine held Feng Ningyan’s hand. “Alright, Royal Concubine, you just have to go ahead and do it …”
“Empress, this servant is Lian Yi.” Feng Ningyan looked at the imperial concubine’s eyes and said seriously.
The imperial concubine knew that Feng Ningyan was warning her that even if she had to retreat left and right, she had to be careful. She could not treat Feng Ningyan as King Yu’s Wife anymore.
“Alright, Lian Yi, I will leave the safety of this palace and the son in my womb to you …”
Feng Ningyan smiled slightly, “Empress, don’t worry. Lian Yi will definitely do his best to investigate the matters that will make the Empress worry, and he will even leave the imperial harem in peace.”
Seeing that the imperial concubine had calmed down, Feng Ningyan returned to the Fanghua Palace.
At this time, Shangguan Jin was standing on the aisle in the middle of Fang Hua Palace. As Forbidden Army flowed back and forth, the snow on the aisle had been stepped on until it became muddy and turned into water.
“Miss Lian Yi.” Shangguan Jin politely nodded his head and smiled at Feng Ningyan.
When Feng Ningyan saw him standing there calmly, his eyes looked like he had something to say. He already knew that the female corpse in the palace had already been arranged.
“Commander Shangguan, the fire has been extinguished.”
“That’s right, this official has already ordered people to seal off the insides of Fang Hua Palace. The Inspection Department’s Zhuang Shaoqing is currently leading people to the scene to examine the corpses.”
When Feng Ningyan heard that Zhuang Duxing had come, he felt even more at ease.
She walked into the palace that had been burnt to ruins and saw Zhuang Duxing and her assistant inspecting Li Wan Zhuang’s corpse.
“What did Zhuang Shaoqing discover?” Feng Ningyan said as he walked over.
When Zhuang Duxing raised his head to look at it, he saw that it was an unfamiliar face and couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
“I am, the maid from the Chen Ming Palace Palace. On the orders of the Imperial Noble Concubine, I have come to investigate the fire.” Feng Ningyan explained.
When Zhuang Duxing heard this, he stood up and gave a scholar’s salute: “So it’s Miss Lian Yi. I’ve roughly examined Li Wan Huan’s corpse and discovered that her nose and throat were stained with pink powder.
“It’s a hallucinogenic drug, right?” Feng Ningyan said, “Before she died, she acted like she was insane, using her blade to stab Su Caijun’s leg. At that time, this servant saw Li Wan’s eyes turn red, and what she said was even weirder.”
“What did she say?” Zhuang Duxing asked.
Feng Ningyan glanced at the charred corpses, and said: “She said she killed all of you demons and devils.”
“It really is an illusion.” Zhuang Duxing placed the pink powder formed from the thin piece of wood into a small porcelain plate and handed it over to the assistant.
Feng Ningyan said: “Zhuang Shaoqing, this servant suspects that someone snuck in here and drugged Li Wan before Commander Shangguan and I arrived. After she rushed into Su Cai’s bedchamber, she poured oil over the entire palace.”
“If that’s the case, then there should be traces of the murderer around the Fanghua Palace.”
After saying that, Zhuang Duxing and Feng Ningyan walked out of the bedchamber, and started searching carefully inside and outside the Fanghua Palace.
However, it was already afternoon. Due to the fire and the temperature of the day, the snow around the Flowerwood palace began to melt rapidly. Even if there were any footprints, it would be difficult to distinguish them.
Feng Ningyan followed the walls of the palace and looked carefully, but still failed to find anything.
As she was walking, she felt something hard under her feet. She quickly moved away as she squatted down to brush away the snow. There was a black shoe hidden under the grass.
From its size and shape, it was obviously a man’s shoe, but its workmanship was exquisite, and the fabric was also exquisite, unlike a normal young eunuch’s shoe.
At this time, Zhuang Duxing saw that Feng Ningyan seemed to have discovered something, so he walked over and asked: “Miss Lian Yi, what did you discover?”
“A shoe, a man’s shoe.” Feng Ningyan pointed to the shoe in the grass.
Zhuang Duxing looked at it and was extremely confused.
“These shoes are definitely not something an ordinary palace person can wear. The black brocade on top of the shoes, the dark patterns on the cloud, and the top part of the shoes are made of superior material. It seems like they came from the Shang Gong Department’s house.”
When Feng Ningyan heard it, he could not help but be shocked.
She was not proficient in needlework, so she could not see that the brocade and soles of shoes, needlework.
Hearing Zhuang Duxing say that, she anxiously dug out the shoe.
“Could this be a clue …” She turned them over and over.
Zhuang Duxing shook his head, and said: “This shoe shouldn’t have fallen here today. It didn’t snow today, yet it was buried deep in the snow in the grass.
“A few days ago?” The hope that Feng Ningyan had just ignited was immediately extinguished by Zhuang Duxing’s cold water. He was extremely vexed in his heart.
But she knew that Zhuang Duxing was an expert on torture, if he had made such a judgement, then it was definitely not wrong.
However, she was a bit unwilling to give up, so she wrapped the shoe in a brocade handkerchief and put it back into her sleeve.
Zhuang Duxing laughed and comforted her: “Although this shoe is not the clue that Fang Hua Palace would fall for it, Miss Lian Yi is extremely meticulous, and might be able to find something else from this shoe.”
Before he even finished speaking, Shangguan Jin’s voice came out from within the palace walls: “This lowly one greets Prince Cheng!”
“Not good, why is he here?” Feng Ningyan lost his voice.
The two of them did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly returned to the interior of the Flowerwood Palace.
Shen Youhuang brought the four personal guards of the King Cheng Palace and hurried over. With their hands behind their backs, they stood in the courtyard with displeasure written all over their faces.
“The Fang Hua Palace is still fine, how could they have lost water?” he asked Shangguan Jin.
Although Shangguan Jin was not convinced by Shen Youhuang, he still had to respect his identity as a prince on face. He respectfully said: “Reporting to Prince Cheng, it was Li Wan Xia who suddenly lost her mind, killed Su Caiyi, and set the palace on fire. This humble servant has already ordered for the fire to be extinguished, please do not worry, Your Highness. ”
“How can This King be at ease? “The harem is filled with trees and palaces. If there is a fire left behind in the harem, it will reignite at night and spread to other places. Who would be able to shoulder this responsibility?”
As he said that, Shen Youhuang’s personal guards cleared a path for him, allowing him to enter the palace.
