The Crown Prince is Actually a Princess! - Chapter 249

Yuwen Zhantian then asked: “What about then?”

Speaking of the events of that day, thinking of the death of her mother and second sister so tragically, Concubine Baili Hui’s tears filled her eyelashes, her sorrow was like a knife, and she muttered: “My palace slept for about half an hour. , Luzhu told the palace that my mother and the second younger sister felt unwell, so they had to go back to the palace first. The palace never thought that that day would be the last time the palace, mother, and second younger sister would meet…”

She cried bitterly and mourned.

Lvzhu, who was standing on the side, quickly handed the Sipa, and she took it to wipe the teardrops, “His Royal Highness, you must find out the truth, catch the murderer, and let the mother and the second sister die…”

“This palace will thoroughly investigate it.” Yuwen Zhantian Shen Shen said.

“Mrs. Baili and Miss Baili went back to the palace, but they were actually killed in the palace, didn’t they?” Murong asked clearly, and he briefly talked to her on the way into the palace before.

“It should be.” Concubine Baili Hui sniffed, her voice hoarse, “After nightfall, my father saw that his mother and second sister hadn’t returned home, worried about their safety, and sent someone into the palace to ask… this palace knew. The mother and the second sister did not return home at all…”

After that, Murong Ci knows a thing or two.

Concubine Baili Hui sent guards and palace people to look for Madame Baili and Miss Er in the palace, while Taiwei Baili also sent people to the homes of relatives and friends to inquire, and even searched over and over again on the road from the palace to the palace. . At the time of the son, the guard found two people lying in the barren land at the northwest corner of the palace. The people were dead. It was Mrs. Baili and the second lady.

According to the post-mortems of Wu Zuo and the imperial physician, Madame Baili and Miss Er’s face and chest were scarred and completely unrecognizable. They should have been pecked by a crow.

Yuwen Zhantian also said that many crows often flew into the palace to feed in the northwest corner of the palace, and it was those crows who pecked Madame Baili and Miss Er to death.

Murongci pondered for a long while, and then asked: “I would like to ask Concubine Hui to think about it. What was the difference between Madame Baili and Miss Er on the day of the incident? Or did anything unusual happen here that day?”

Concubine Baili Hui seriously thought about it and shook her head.

“Who was the palace man who served Madam Baili and Miss Er in the Piandian that day?” Murongci asked.

“Yes…” Concubine Baili Hui looked at Green Bamboo.

“Niangniang, it’s Pinellia.” Luzhu replied.

“Go and call Banxia.” Baili Huifei said.

Not long after, Pinellia came, kneeling on the ground to reply.

Yuwen Zhantian said coldly and sternly: “If what you say is false, this palace will break your leg.”

She trembled with fright, and her eyes were full of fear, “The slave and maid must answer truthfully.”

Murongci asked coldly: “What did Mrs. Baili and the second young lady do when they were resting in the partial hall that day?”

Pinellia trembled in panic, her arms resting on the ground, trembling violently, “It’s nothing…Mrs. Baili and Miss No. 2 were drinking tea and chatting in the side hall… Not long after, the servants suddenly felt unwell and went to the hut… and came back. After that, Mrs. Baili and the second lady will not be in the side hall…”

“So, you don’t know what happened in the Piandian that day?” Yuwen Zhantian asked coldly.

“The maidservant really doesn’t know… Your Majesty forgive me…” she begged for mercy in horror, and stammered, “By the way, when the maidservant ran to the hut… he bumped into the little six, he could testify for the slave… If you don’t believe me, you can ask him…”

“My palace will find out by itself.” Hesen said coldly.

“When you came back, was there no one in the side hall?” Murong Ci asked.

Pinellia nodded like garlic, trembling badly.

She nodded to him, and then he let Banxia go out. Then he summoned Xiao Liuzi. Indeed, when Banxia ran into the cottage, they bumped into him, and the two said a few words.

Concubine Baili Hui frowned deeply, “In that case, no one knows when the mother and the second sister left.”

Murong said with a smile, “Summon the guards who were guarding outside the temple gate that day.”

However, strangely, the two guards insisted that Madam Baili and Miss Er did not go out from the front door.

Yuwen Zhantian was puzzled, “How did Mrs. Baili and Miss Er leave the Hehuan Palace?”

Luzhu guessed: “Could the lady and the second lady fly?”

Concubine Baili Hui glanced at her, “How is this possible?”

Murong’s eyes fluttered, and he asked, “Does the Hehuan Palace have small doors and corner doors?”

“Yes. There is a small door on the west side.”

“They should have left through the small door. As for whether they went out by themselves or was taken out by others, it is unknown.”

She looked at Yuwen Zhantian, “His Royal Highness, go to the small gate and have a look.”

Concubine Baili Hui ordered an attendant to take them there. At this time, the wind and snow were getting smaller, and a thick layer of goose feathers accumulated on the ground.

The snow light reflected the sky and the earth, pure and clean as colored glaze.

Yuwen Zhantian held a paper umbrella to help her, she pushed him away, and whispered: “His Royal Highness, I will go by myself. This is unreasonable.”

He did not insist, always paying attention to her situation.

When I came to the small door, the snow covered everything, but there was no snow under the eaves.

Going out of the small gate is a small road, and it takes a while to get to the spacious palace road.

Murongci looked around and said nothing.

Yuwen Zhantian saw that she didn’t speak, and he couldn’t help but ask: “What do you think?”

What can this see? He didn’t see anything.

“After many days, even if there are clues left here, it was blown away by the gale a long time ago.” She thought about it for a long time.

“That’s nothing?”

“Nor can you say that.” The dazzling Xueguang and the silver mask on Murongci’s face reflected each other, shining brightly, “If Mrs. Baili and Miss No. 2 were killed, how could the murderer bring them out of the amusement park? Temple? When they left Hehuan Hall, were they awake or unconscious? If they were unconscious, how could the murderer take away the two?”

“What if she is sober?” Yuwen Zhantian made another assumption, marveling at her meticulous thoughts and deduction ability.

“If they are sober, then the murderer knows them and is an acquaintance committing the crime. There is another question, why would they follow the murderer obediently?”

“This is indeed an unexplainable mystery.”

“I tend to be that they are not sober, but how can the murderer take away both of them?” She stroked her chin and wondered, “Is it because the murderer is born with supernatural power? Or the murderer possesses martial arts?”

“My palace also thought of a question. How did the murderer take the unconscious Madame Baili and the second young lady from the Hehuan Palace to the place where the crime occurred in the northwest corner? How could he avoid many palace men and guards? It is impossible for no one to see it.” Yuwen Zhantian Another key question is raised.

“The murderer dared to commit a crime in the palace, he must have made careful deployment and investigation. The murderer must know the best route to avoid the palace personnel and guards in order to succeed.” Murong resigned.

He nodded, “Are you going to see where the crime happened now?”

She had this intention, so she went to the place where the body was found.

From the Hehuan Palace to the place where the crime was committed, they walked with normal steps, not the palace road, but the trail, which took nearly two cups of tea.

If the murderer takes two unconscious people, the speed difference should not be too much, because he can walk with two adults and his skills cannot be regarded as ordinary people.

The place where the crime occurred was a barren land near the palace wall in the northwest corner of the palace. In the cold season, two ancient trees were bare, and their strong branches stretched towards the sky, condensed with shining snowballs, the grass on the ground withered, and the thick snow covered everything.

The place is off the beaten track, and even the guards rarely come here to patrol, but it is an excellent place to commit crimes.

The minister of the criminal ministry came here to see it before when investigating the case, and he made a mark in the place of the dead. Even if there is snow, you can see what the corpse was like at that time.

Murongci looked here and there, sometimes looking at the sky and sometimes outside the palace wall, but he didn’t say anything.

Yuwen Zhantian didn’t see anything, and asked: “Did you see anything?”

She walked back, “Let’s go.”

“Where to go?”

“Go and see the corpse.”

“Be careful!”

Before he finished his words, he dashed forward, stretched his arms to embrace her, his heartbeat missed half a beat, and he was even more nervous than her.

Murongci only felt his feet slip, and he fell backward. However, the close contact with the snow that she was looking forward to did not happen, and she fell into an embrace.

Yuwen Zhantian hugged her and asked with lingering fear: “Are you okay?”

She quickly pushed him away, stood still and patted the white snow contaminated by the cloak, “It’s okay.”

He was just in that hug, but he still couldn’t finish it-even though he was separated from the thick cloak and cotton robe, he still felt that her body was so soft, so soft that he was so happy…

When he returned to his senses, he saw her frowning at him, and heard her say, “Isn’t leaving yet?”

He was a little embarrassed, and as he walked, he recalled the soft tentacles just before.

The bodies of Mrs. Baili and Miss No. 2 were placed in the Ministry of Justice. They went to the Ministry of Justice after they left the palace. The servant of the Ministry of Justice, Shaoqian welcomed them warmly, but he wondered why his Royal Highness asked a young counsellor to help investigate the murder case? Does this counselor have extraordinary abilities?

Murongci first looked at the autopsy record, then inspected the body.

Because of the cold weather, the corpse was well preserved, and it didn’t rot much after three days. Mrs. Baili and Thymus Clementine’s face were so scarred that they were completely unrecognizable. There were also many pecking wounds on the upper chest. It was so terrible that the cotton robe was pecked torn.

“Master Jade, what do you see?” Shao Qian asked deliberately, wondering how much he has.

“Are there any new clues found on the corpse?” Yuwen Zhantian also wanted to know.

“Mrs. Baili of the deceased, the ten-finger nails of Thyme and Thyme are basically intact, but there are scratches on both hands.” Murongci took the hand of Thyme and looked carefully, then looked at her eyes, “The eyes of the deceased…”

“What’s wrong with the eyes?” he asked anxiously.

“The deceased’s eyes should have been wide open before, and then they were closed.” She said flatly, “Judging from this pupil, the deceased was frightened before death, maybe he was frightened to death.”

“Scared to death?” Shao Qian disapproved, thinking that he was incapable, he couldn’t help but scorned, and secretly relieved, “The doctor and Wu were inspected, and the two deceased were pecked to death by crows.”

“Master Shao, I’m just guessing.” Murongci smiled slightly.
