The Crown Prince is Actually a Princess! - Chapter 253
This person is the steward of a livestock farm and his surname is Wang.
Guanshi Wang bowed his waist and laughed, and said humbly: “His Royal Highness, you come to inspect the farm in your busy schedule, and the villain will show you around.”
Yuwen Zhantian looked at Murongci, and she nodded.
The scale of this farm is quite large, with chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock that are eaten daily. The air is filled with a persistent smell.
Guan Shi enthusiastically introduced how many chickens, ducks, pigs, etc., and also introduced what these livestock eat every day, very detailed.
Yu Wen Zhan Tian Xianxian listened, always paying attention to the movements of the people around him.
Murongci looked around and found several crows hovering in the air, and more than twenty crows lived and pecking everywhere.
“You raised these crows?” she asked.
“No, these crows came from outside.” Guanshi Wang said with a smile, “every day, many crows come here to peck their food, and they can’t drive them away. Later, the villain asked the people below to ignore them and let them look for them. The food is ready.”
“Where did you fly from?”
“This… the villain doesn’t know. But the capital has always been full of crows, most of them live in the woods or fields. The villain feels that these crows should fend for themselves.”
“Do you know the habits of crows?” Murongci asked again, “such as what crows like to eat.”
“The prince asked the right person. The villain has been in charge of the farm for many years, and he has a lot of experience with this” Wang Guanshi proudly said, thinking that he can perform well in front of the Prince’s Palace today. His Royal Highness will definitely praise him, “The crow uses grain , Fruits, insects, and carrion.”
Yuwen Zhantian suddenly asked: “Is anyone raising crows nearby?”
Guanshi Wang said with a smile: “His Royal Highness is joking. The people think that crows are fierce birds. When they see crows, they feel that something bad has happened. How can they raise crows?”
She pondered for a while, and asked: “Will the crow attack people for no reason?”
He replied: “Crows generally don’t attack people.”
Murongci thought for a while, and then asked, “If I want a group of crows to attack someone, how can I lead the crows to attack that person?”
Guan Shi said with a smile: “This is a bit difficult. Generally speaking, crows don’t attack people. If a group of crows are forced to attack someone, it must be so many crows controlled by magic.”
Yuwen Zhan Tian’s handsome face sank, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Yes, yes, the small people didn’t hesitate to say something, they said something wrong.” Guanshi Wang slapped his mouth lightly.
“You go down first.”
“Yes, the villain retires.”
Guan Shi was unwilling to leave. What was the impression of his Royal Highness? He didn’t want to stay in this stinking livestock farm all his life.
Murongci looked at the crows in a trance, and Yuwen Zhantian asked in a low voice: “What are you thinking about?”
She said “Nothing”, then turned and left.
On the carriage, he asked: “Aci, where else do you want to go? Or go back to the house?”
The dazzling sunlight that leaked in through the small window flickered on her face, the faint light was as pure as jade, and her eyes were full of waves.
He asked curiously: “Where?”
She didn’t answer, but she didn’t laugh.
After entering the palace to the Hehuan Hall, Concubine Baili Hui was taking a break, Lu Zhu pointed to a servant and took them to the side hall.
The side hall where Mrs. Baili and Baili Xiangrui had rested before the accident was neat and clean, and there were no clues. Murongci had already expected this result, but just took a look at it with a fluke.
“The murderer is worried about leaving clues here, and he should come back here after the murder.” Yuwen Zhantian frowned tightly, “By the way, he can enter and exit the Hehuan Palace silently, maybe the murderer is Hehuan Palace. The palace man or guard?”
“Isn’t there that small door? Even if you are not from the Hehuan Palace, you can enter and go freely from that small door.”
“That’s true.”
“Let’s go.”
Then they went to the Criminal Ministry, Murong Ci wanted to look at the body again.
When Shao Qian saw Murongci, his eagerness to fight for strength rose up, “Young Master Yu, you have checked for two days, and I don’t know if there is any eyebrow?”
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, “Not for the time being. Where is Lord Li?”
The flesh on his cheek twitched, “The officer has not made any progress.”
In the morgue, Mrs. Baili and Thymus began to rot. Murong Ci leaned on the corpse and looked carefully, and sniffed vigorously.
Shao Qian looked away in disgust. This young man was pure and beautiful, and he had a mysterious preference for corpses. Does the corpse smell so good if he gets so close?
She stretched out her hand and opened the hem of Thyme, her eyes flickering.
Yuwen Zhantian reminded: “Be careful, don’t touch the corpse. I heard that the corpse usually has corpse poison, and it is difficult to treat it if it is contaminated with corpse poison.”
She stood up and walked out sullenly.
Shao Qian chased after him and asked, “Young Master Yu, have you found any new clues?”
There was a bit of ridicule in that tone.
Yuwen Zhantian glanced at him, and Shao Qian saw that the Prince’s eyes were very displeased, and immediately lowered his head, his eyes glittering.
It was past the lunch hour, Yuwen Zhantian decided to go back to the house for dinner first.
…
Prince’s House.
Yuwen Zhantian and Murongci ate lunch, and the manager hurriedly reported: “His Royal Highness, people from the post house are here to spread the word, Princess Yuqing is seriously ill and cannot leave.”
Murongci pretended to be surprised, “She has not healed from the cold before, and it must be because of the wind and the cold yesterday, and her condition has worsened.”
“No? The man said that Princess Yuqing was so burned that she couldn’t get up. The people sent by His Highness did not dare to force her into the carriage.” The manager replied.
“My palace, go and see her.” She saw Yuwen Zhantian’s handsome face gloomy, and there was a chill in her eyes, guessing that he was very unhappy.
“Then let her stay in the post house for two days, and send her away from Beijing when she recovers.” Yuwen Zhantian’s handsome eyes were icy blue, and it was chilling.
“She is alone in the post house. It’s pitiful. My palace will go to the post house.” She insisted.
“You are not in good health yourself. Go back in two days.” His voice was low, but she could hear the harshness and toughness in his voice.
Murongci left “unhappy” without even looking at him.
After resting for a cup of tea in the bedroom, Yuwen Zhantian knocked on the door, “Aci, where do you want to go?”
She raised her voice: “Where not to go.”
After a while, his voice came in, “Then I will go to the study to handle official duties.”
She did not respond, and then heard the sound of leaving footsteps. After that, she asked the maidservant to get pen and ink and sort out the case while writing.
About half an hour later, she went to the study and saw Yuwen Zhantian discussing political affairs with three ministers.
“His Royal Highness, I’m going to Taiwei’s Mansion, you find someone to take me over.” She was secretly happy.
“Do you have to go now?” He said deep.
“Yes.” She said concisely.
Now, the political affairs he discussed with the three ministers were very important, and he couldn’t finish the discussion for a while, and he could not accompany her. In desperation, he recruited two guards to **** her out.
Murongci observed for a while, these two unsmiling guards were all dressed in black, and they should be martial arts high-powered guards.
As soon as she got into the carriage, she immediately threw a ball of white paper outside.
Arrived at Taiwei’s mansion, the butler took her into the mansion. Baili Taiwei is not in the house, but the housekeeper will accompany him all the way.
Lieutenant Baili decided to wait for the homicide of his wife, second daughter and eldest son to be investigated, and then be buried together. Therefore, white mantle and black silk were hung everywhere in the house, a solemn expression, and the servants all had heavy, sad expressions.
“I want to go to the dormitory of the madam and the second lady again, okay?”
“Yes. Son, please.”
Thyme’s boudoir is decorated in magnificent and magnificent style. Many of the decorations and gadgets are rare and precious, which shows her usual preferences.
The close maid followed, Murongci looked at the rouge gouache and various spices on the dressing table, and asked, “What kind of fragrance did your lady use during her lifetime?”
The maidservant took a small box of incense and handed it to her, “It’s this box.”
Murong Ci opened it and smelled it. It was indeed the fragrance, the same as the fragrance of the corpse.
“Which incense shop bought this incense?”
“This is not bought, it was rewarded by the concubine Hui, called Mi Lan Xiang.” The maid at hand replied, “This honey orchid has a strong and light fragrance, with three-point freshness in the sweetness, very good smell, and lasts for a long time. The second lady likes it very much and uses it every day. Madam also has this scent, and it is also a gift from the concubine Hui.”
“That’s it. Can you give me this box?” Murong Ci smiled and asked.
The butler thought, anyway, the second lady had already gone, and it would be okay to give this box of incense to this young man, so he agreed.
Afterwards, she went to Bailijing’s bedroom and asked his wife: “Which servant is usually responsible for the incense of Baili’s robes?”
Bailijing’s wife, Su, was so sad that her eyes were red and swollen, her description was haggard, her throat was also dumb, and she couldn’t speak.
The butler knew which servant was responsible for the incense, and sent someone to find that servant.
Soon, the servant came to report that the girl in charge of incense was dead. The body was found in an alley not far from the Taiwei’s mansion, and now the body was brought back.
Murong Ci walked out quickly and inspected the body.
The girl was killed with a knife in her heart, and she shed a lot of blood.
“How could she be killed if she was so good?” The butler was puzzled.
“Because she was the culprit who killed your eldest son, but she should be acting for others. When the matter was over, she was killed.” She said coldly.
“The eldest son was killed by someone?” The butler was panicked, “I must report this to the master.”
“Where is your eldest son’s corpse? I’ll look at it again.” Murongci’s lips twitched slightly.
Bailijing’s body was placed in a relatively remote courtyard, and the housekeeper took her there. She uncovered the white cloth, leaned closer and smelled the incense of her robe.
Then she went to the residence of the girl who was killed. She walked around the shop, asked the servant who was in the same room, and took the incense of the lavender robe.
The steward sent her out of the house and said sadly: “My son, you have to find out the murder case, and give my wife, eldest son, and second young lady a fair way to catch the murderer.”
Murong Ci blinked, “I will try my best.”
Just as she was about to get on the carriage, she saw a person riding a horse galloping, as if taking off with the momentum of thunder, rolling off the sand and walking the rocks, with a magnificent momentum.
