The Crown Prince is Actually a Princess! - Chapter 250
After following Shen Zhiyan’s autopsy for a long time, Murongci also learned some techniques and accumulated a lot of experience, but she was always careful, and she always found details that others could not find.
After inspecting the two corpses, she, Yuwen Zhantian and Shao Qian left the morgue and went to the main hall of the front yard.
The servants brought hot tea, and Shao Qian invited His Royal Highness to sit down and respectfully said: “His Royal Highness is in charge of this case, and the minister will assist him. Just now, the Jade Young Master looked at the corpse. I don’t know what he found?”
Yuwen Zhantian picked up the tea cup and looked at her, “How?”
Murong said clearly: “The fatal wounds of the two deceased should be peck wounds on the face and upper chest, but it cannot be ruled out that they were scared to death when they were attacked by crows.”
“Suddenly attacked by a crow, you will naturally be frightened. The pupils of the deceased do have symptoms of fright, but this is only speculation, do you have any definite evidence?” Although Shao Qian was polite, his remarks were sharp.
“We don’t know the process of the deceased’s murder, and all we have done are speculations.” She knew that he intended to make things difficult, but she didn’t care, and said to Yuwen, “Your Highness, the hands of the two deceased have scratches, it should be that they were suffering. When a group of crows attacked, they used both hands to block the crows, and then they were scratched by the crows’ claws.”
“What does that mean?” Shao Qian said.
“This shows that when the deceased was attacked by a crow, he was sober.” Murong Ci looked at him coldly.
“Before we speculated that the murderer took the two deceased from the Hehuan Palace. The two deceased may be sober or unconscious. In this way, the two deceased left the Hehuan Palace with the murderer in a sober state?” Yuwen Zhan Tian speculated.
“His Royal Highness, it’s not necessarily. The two deceased were in a coma before being attacked by the crow, and it is possible that they were awake due to severe pain when attacked by the crow,” she said.
“According to what you said, everything is possible, so how can I find it?” Shao Qian pointedly asked.
Yuwen Zhantian also saw that he was deliberately targeting her, “Master Shao, stay calm.” Then he asked her, “What else did you find?”
Murong Ci frowned and said: “His Royal Highness, in fact, I am more inclined to leave the Hehuan Palace in a sober state. But why did they voluntarily go with the murderer, I haven’t cracked this point yet.”
He nodded, and she said again: “The strange thing is that the two corpses exudes exactly the same scent. The scent is very weak and very special. I have never smelled it before, but the deceased still has the scent after three days of death. This is really weird.”
Shao Qian said with disdain; “Maybe Mrs. Baili and the second lady use the same incense, and women use incense. What’s so strange about this?”
She no longer struggled with this question, “Your Highness, I want to go to Taiwei’s Mansion.”
Yuwen Zhantian had this intention, but it was past noon, and he decided to go back to the Prince’s Mansion for dinner.
Shao Qian sent them out and said, “His Royal Highness, this investigation is the responsibility of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Later, the minister also wants to go to Taiwei’s Mansion to investigate the case with His Highness.”
Yuwen Zhantian agreed and boarded the carriage and left.
Not long after, the carriage arrived at the Prince’s Mansion.
The snow has stopped, and the cold wind is still raging in the heavens and the earth, biting to the bone.
Murong resigned from the carriage and saw Yuwen Zhantian’s arm stretched out. After weighing the pros and cons, he got off the carriage with his arm.
The cold wind blew her great cloak, flying like a flag.
As she walked towards the gate, her bright eyes flowed, looking around, and she saw a person standing in the east corner, like a woman.
“What’s wrong?” Yuwen Zhantian asked in surprise when she saw her stop.
“There is someone over there.” She walked over.
In fact, he also noticed that there were people over there, but he ignored them. His subordinates will deal with it later, but since she pays attention to it, let’s go and take a look.
The woman was a little panicked when she saw someone coming, but she still came out.
She was wearing a lotus root pink feather satin cloak, with a few snowflakes on the cloak. She was wearing a hood, her face was more delicate and compact, but it was pale with cold. She tried her best to adjust her breath, and she looked dignified and calm, but her hands were flushed with cold and clasped tightly, revealing her anxiety.
The thin body standing in the cold wind, trembling, is very different from the previous holiness, elegance, and vulgarity.
It is Princess Yuqing of the South Vietnam Kingdom.
Murongci was quite surprised, “Princess Yuqing, why are you here? By the way, didn’t your emperor brother leave two days ago? Why are you…”
Seeing Yue Ruomei’s first glance, Yuwen Zhantian’s handsome face was a little bit cold.
“I…” Yue Ruomei’s lips trembled lightly, and her eyes were red in an instant, tears filled her eyelashes, especially pitiful, “Before leaving, I occasionally felt cold, my whole body was hot, and the diarrhea continued, Huang Brother didn’t want to delay the trip, let me recover in the post house and then go back. I stayed in the post house to recuperate for the past two days, and my illness is well, but…”
“That’s the case. Your Highness, it’s cold outside, so let’s go in and talk about it.” Murong Ci proposed.
He couldn’t bear to refuse her and agreed.
Yue Ruomei didn’t recognize that the son wearing the silver mask in front of him was Prince Murong, and was a little grateful to him.
The three of them came to the dining room, she had a troubled and neglected look, her head drooped, her brows were quiet and picturesque, and she was pleasing to the eye.
The servants were busy preparing meals. The three of them stood in front of the brazier and roasted. Murongci knew that he was upset, but still asked: “Princess, you can make any request. If your Highness can help, he will definitely help you.”
“The people in the post house saw that the emperor had gone, and I was alone…The attitude towards me was not as good as before…” Yue Ruomei said softly, extricating himself from a little pitiful who has been bullied and wronged.
“The order will be passed down in this palace, and the people in the post house will take good care of it.” Yuwenzhan’s gray and blue eyes were as cold as melting snow, chilling, “The palace will send a few people to **** you back to South Vietnam tomorrow. Come, people, Send Princess Yuqing back to the post house.”
No one can disturb him and Aci!
Murongci hurriedly said: “Your Majesty, it’s freezing cold outside. The princess must have been out for so long, and she must have been frozen. It might not prevent her from falling ill. Let her eat with us first. Anyway, she will be alone. Not much.”
In fact, she also knew that Yue Ruomei stayed alone in the capital of the Western Qin Kingdom, and she might not have been left behind by the emperor’s brother as Yue Ruomei himself said. It seemed that Murong Yu was really right. Yueruo was not simple, and her heart was deep, and she was not as holy and Tsinghua as her beauty and temperament.
Yuwen Zhantian didn’t say anything, because he couldn’t bear to brush Aci’s meaning.
Yueruo’s eyebrows drooped, and said weakly: “Thank your Highness for the gift, Xie Gongzi.”
Secretly thought, why is this young man so good to himself?
Lunch has been arranged, the three of them sat down, Murongci’s eyes were bright, and smiled: “The princess does not need to be restrained. Your Royal Highness is warm and hospitable. If you don’t hold the prince’s shelf, we are just like friends together.”
Yueruo nodded, but still a little restrained, watching his face act.
Yuwen Zhantian guessed a bit of Aci’s intention, so he deliberately picked up a bowl of vegetables for her.
Murongci was gloomy, gritted his teeth secretly, pinched the dishes in the bowl to Yue Ruo eyebrows, and smiled brightly, “Princess, you must not eat well these few days, eat more.”
Yue Ruomei was flattered and a little embarrassed, seeing his handsome face gathering more and more haze, and felt sad.
“Eat, eat, don’t be polite.” Murong said with a smile, trying to resolve the embarrassing and depressing atmosphere.
“Thank you, son.” Yue Ruo said softly.
“Hurry up and eat, and go to work later.” Yuwen Zhantian said coldly.
Yue Ruomei ate silently, Murong Ci secretly thought that she must find a way to keep Yue Ruomei, which is what Yue Ruomei dreams of.
She asked Yue Ruomei thoughtfully: “Are you all cured? Can you leave tomorrow?”
Yue Ruomei didn’t know how to answer, she subconsciously raised her eyes to look at him, and whispered: “It’s not complete…sometimes I feel dizzy…”
Murong resigned: “His Royal Highness, let the doctor treat the princess later.”
Yuwen Zhantian was noncommittal, and Yue Ruomei quickly said: “Xie Gongzi’s kindness, I’ve seen it with the doctor.”
Next, the three of them didn’t speak again until they finished eating.
He put aside the bowl of chopsticks and waited while drinking tea.
“His Royal Highness, I haven’t eaten enough yet, why don’t you wait in the main hall first?” Murong Ci smiled.
“My palace is waiting for you, you eat slowly, and be careful to choke.” He chuckled softly and then left.
The more Ruomei stared at him blankly, for a long time he couldn’t return to his senses-why is he so gentle to a young man? Why does he speak coldly to himself, even nonchalant? What exactly is this for? She can’t even compare to a young man who emerged from nowhere?
At this moment, sadness flooded into her heart.
“Princess, I know you like His Royal Highness, don’t worry, I will help you.” Murong Ci looked outside and whispered.
“You…” Yue Ruo was surprised, and then surprised, “Are you really willing to help me?”
“The man has a heart of iron and stone, but the Jinshi caused by Jincheng is open. As long as you persevere and seize the opportunity, you will definitely get what you want.” Murongci encouraged.
“Thank you for encouraging me.”
“Your Royal Highness will send someone to send you away tomorrow morning. You must find a way to stay.”
“I… can’t think of a way…” Yue Ruomei was no longer so restrained, her brows full of sorrow.
“There are still several hours, you rack your brains to think about it, you will always think of it.” Murong Ci blinked at her, full of wisdom.
Yue Ruo nodded lightly and said gratefully: “My son, thank you for helping me.”
Murongci put down the bowl and stood up, “I have to go now, so you can do it for yourself.”
Yue Ruomei chased up, “I should leave too.”
The two came to the main hall together, and Yuwen Zhantian immediately ordered the manager standing aside, “You send a few people to send Princess Yuqing back to the post.”
Yue Ruo Mei blessed his body and said, “Ruo Mei bid farewell.”
The obsessive and nostalgic eyes glided across his face, she was sad, and he never looked at her directly.
Murongci blinked at her, watched her leave, and then said: “Let’s go, go to Taiwei’s Mansion.”
Not long after they arrived at Taiwei’s Mansion, Taiwei Baili received them.
In the main hall, Murongci looked at several servants standing in a row and asked: “Two days before the incident, did the madam and the second lady have any weird or unusual things?”
The servants looked at each other, then shook their heads.
