Chapter 251: Chapter 251 Medical Knowledge

Chapter 251: Chapter 251 Medical KnowledgeHuaiqing frowned slightly, and as Xu Qi'an moved, she looked at the dull yellow silk cloth, and her clear and cold voice was mixed with anxiety: "What did you find?"

Xu Qi'an shrugged: "I guess the mystery is in this cloth, but I don't know what kind of secret it is."

"?" flashed in Huaiqing's beautiful eyes, and she didn't understand why he said it so powerfully just now.

Wei Yuan's eyes fell on the yellow silk cloth and said: "This is the material that can only be used by concubines above the third rank in the palace."

The concubines in the palace also have ranks, and the top ones are the queen, the imperial concubine, and the concubine. The concubine with a fixed title, such as the blessed concubine, is the first rank.

Going down, the lady, the noble concubine, the Zhaoyi, etc., are all within the third rank. The classification of the harem beauties touched Xu Qi'an's blind spot, but it was not a big problem. He asked: "So, how could the maid have such material?"

The fourth prince replied: "Either it was given by a noble, or it was stolen."

Xu Qi'an nodded.

Wei Yuan took the dull, old yellow silk cloth and examined it: "Spring of the 31st year of Yuan Jing..."

"Did anything happen this year? I mean the palace." Xu Qi'an suddenly had an idea and asked directly if there was any major event that year.

This was the inspiration he got from the last time the queen was deposed.

In the 13th year of Yuan Jing, the queen was banished to the cold palace.

The next year, Wei Yuan went to war and defeated the northern barbarians. The queen came out of the cold palace. If Xu Qi'an had not known about this, he could only guess that Emperor Yuan Jing pardoned the queen because of their old relationship.

Therefore, the material left by the maid Huang Xiaorou was embroidered with the 31st year of Yuan Jing. Perhaps clues can be found in the annual chronicle.

Wei Yuan and Huai Qing shook their heads at the same time.

"Think about it again?" Xu Qi'an was unwilling.

The two still shook their heads.

Well, if the two college bullies jointly vetoed it, there was probably no hope... That's right, how could a mere palace maid be related to a major event.

Xu Qi'an licked his tongue, a little excited.

The case of Concubine Fu has finally entered a difficult mode. The previous clues were deliberately thrown out by the mastermind behind the scenes, and the case itself was not difficult.

In other words, even if he didn't take over the case, others could find it out. The only difference was the length of time.

And now, after jumping out of the guidance of the mastermind behind the scenes, it was finally his turn to show his skills.

Wait....

Xu Qi'an suddenly felt a flash of lightning in his mind, and thought of a detail he had overlooked.

He straightened his back, his face serious, and said: "Lord Wei, I have something to ask you."

Seeing that the little copper gong he admired was serious, Wei Yuan put down the teacup and said gently: "Speak."

"Before I returned to Beijing, the case of Concubine Fu had been delayed, and the three courts shirked their responsibilities and were unwilling to investigate. If I really died, would this case be confirmed to be the work of the prince?"

Xu Qian'an initially thought that the case was too complicated and the three courts were unwilling to take it over, until he was resurrected and happened to take over this hot potato. When he met the prince that day, the Dali Temple Minister also hinted that he was a pawn. Wei Yuan picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea slowly: "Today, your majesty wants to depose the queen, but the three courts and the gentlemen disagree. They think that the three courts should confirm it first, and then discuss deposing the queen. And it should not be deposed just because your majesty says so.

"The gentlemen's ideas are nothing more than three points: First, deposing the queen is a matter of great importance, and the process must be followed, and it cannot be taken lightly. Second, the officials hate this kind of sudden incident, which will make them feel that they don't have enough control over the court. Third, they need time to figure out what to do after the queen is deposed. " Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

So, the monarch and the minister have been playing chess since ancient times... Xu Qian'an understood, "So, the prince's matter is also like this?"

Wei Yuan nodded: "The prince is related to the foundation of the country. How can your majesty say that it will take three days? The three departments are not not investigating, but telling your majesty that they need time."

"... So, in fact, I am not needed at all. Even if I don't come back, someone will take over this case in a few days. Then according to the clues given by the real murderer behind the scenes, follow the map and find the queen step by step."

Xu Qian'an's words made the fourth prince widen his eyes in surprise.

Wei Yuan was thoughtful.

"So, you were assassinated last night because the person behind the scenes didn't want you to investigate further. He was scared. "Princess Huaiqing hit the nail on the head and said what Xu Qi'an was thinking.

"Afraid?" The fourth prince was puzzled.

"The resurrection of Lord Xu was beyond the expectations of the people behind the scenes, and his reputation was too loud, so the people behind the scenes did not dare to let him continue to investigate. Therefore, when the clues pointed to the queen mother, the people behind the scenes immediately sent assassins to eliminate Lord Xu."

Huaiqing explained to his brother.

"I see."

The fourth prince asked: "Then how do we investigate now?"

Wei Yuan and Huaiqing did not speak, but looked at Xu Qi'an.

They are all very smart people, but they still have to rely on professionals to investigate the

case.

Just like Xu Qi'an often thinks that his IQ is comparable to Einstein, but he has to admit that he is still a little short of a small matter like making an atomic bomb, and he has to rely on

professional scientists.

Facing the gazes of the three people, the famous detective Xu Ningyan said in a deep voice: "This official, we need to open the coffin and perform an autopsy. "

Imperial Palace.

The Fourth Prince and Princess Huaiqing brought Xu Qian'an into the palace. As the carriage drove into the palace gate, Xu Qian'an lifted the curtain and suggested:

"We still have to inform that young eunuch. After all, this is the rule set by His Majesty for

me."

The Fourth Prince thought about it and nodded, "Yes, Lord Xu is indeed a law-abiding person, loyal to Dafeng and his father."

You think too much, I just follow my heart... Xu Qian'an said with emotion: "The Fourth Prince has a good eye for people."

Huaiqing was in another carriage. It was definitely not allowed for an unmarried princess to ride in the same carriage with a young man.

If it weren't for the annoying brother-in-law, the Fourth Prince, Xu Qi'an might have been shameless enough to test the waters and ask to ride with the princess.

The Fourth Prince immediately sent someone to notify him. A quarter of an hour later, the eunuch in a light blue flying fish suit came running.

He looked at Xu Qi'an in confusion and said, "Sir Xu, isn't the case closed?"

Xu Qi'an replied, "As long as your majesty doesn't take back the gold medal, I will continue to

investigate."

"Okay, okay..."

The young eunuch didn't want to take this job anymore. He wanted to live a few more years.

But Huaiqing and the Fourth Prince were by his side. He didn't dare to refuse. He followed Xu

Qi'an helplessly and went to the ice cellar with him.

Near the ice cellar, Xu Qi'an suddenly ordered, "Go and ask an old nanny

come over. "

After sending the eunuch away, Xu Qiyan, Princess Huaiqing and the Fourth Prince entered

the ice cellar and saw the body of the maid Huang Xiaorou.

The autopsy marks on her neck and chest had been sutured.

"Your Majesty has re-examined the body." Xu Qiyan stared at the body of the maid Huang

Xiaorou.

Seeing the swollen, pale body, the Fourth Prince frowned and looked away.

"What else do you want to examine?" Huaiqing asked without changing his expression.

"Do you remember the "rules" that I told Your Highness when we examined the body yesterday?" Xu Qiyan called the eunuch who managed the ice cellar over and said, "Carry her

to the yard. It's too dark here."

Huaiqing was stunned for a moment, then understood what Xu Qiyan meant, and a blush

quietly appeared on her fair cheeks.

She knew what Xu Qiyan was going to do.

Two eunuchs came in from outside, carrying a simple wooden board out of the ice cellar, and

placed the body in the yard, exposed to the sun.

Xu Qiyan let the body stand in the sun for a while, until the young eunuch brought an old

nanny over. Xu Qiyan looked at it and became happy.

It was the old nanny whose driving skills were better than his. When the old nanny saw Huaiqing and the fourth prince, she immediately bowed.

Then, she complained to Xu Qi'an in a low voice: "Sir, why did you ask me to examine the body again? I'm not a coroner. I can't eat if I have to examine it all day long."

"

When she got closer, she saw a swollen and ugly female corpse. The old nanny cried out "ah" and covered her eyes: "I can't examine it, please don't make things difficult for me, sir." The fourth prince frowned and started to scold. Xu Qi'an waved his hand, then took out a piece

of silver, about five cents, put it in his palm, spread it out, and smiled: "Mammy, can you

examine it?"

"I am still very happy to serve you, sir." The old nanny said with a smile: "What do you want to examine?"

Xu Qi'an pointed at the female corpse, "Examine whether it is tightly fitted."

The old nanny wrapped her hands with coarse cloth and spread the legs of the female corpse

apart...

The fourth prince and Huaiqing turned around at the same time, not watching the next

operation.

About ten seconds later, the two heard the old nanny say, "This female corpse is not a virgin."

Not a virgin... Huaiqing and the fourth prince looked at each other, both surprised and

shocked.

The so-called three thousand beauties in the harem actually include palace maids. Throughout the dynasties, there are many examples of emperors visiting palace maids. In the

five hundred years since the founding of Dafeng, there have been many concubines who were

born as palace maids in history.

Although Huang Xiaorou is an inconspicuous palace maid, she is essentially the emperor's woman and the private property of Emperor Yuan Jing.

All women in the harem belong to the emperor. Whether to visit or not is one thing, but the

system is like this.

Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up, as if his guess was confirmed. He stepped forward and said, "Mammy, take another look to see if she was pregnant."

"This..." The old mammy looked at the swollen female corpse and wrinkled her old face: "I

can't tell."

What's the use of you, give me back the silver... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "Forget it, Ni Zuo Kai, I'll do it myself."

So she took over the old mammy and spread the legs of the female corpse.

.....

A quarter of an hour later, in the yard, Xu Qi'an put his hands in the bucket and rubbed them non-stop. A square soap bean was getting smaller and smaller as he used it.

The tall Princess Huaiqing, wearing a white palace dress, stood aside. The cool breeze pulled

her skirt and brushed her hair. She was pure and beautiful.

"How long will you wash?" Huaiqing's voice was helpless.

"Wash until you have a new layer of skin." Xu Qian'an said unhappily.

Although his middle finger and ring finger had also trudged back and forth on the muddy

road, they should never have suffered the injustice just now.

"It's all that old nanny's fault. She's not very capable, but she also coveted five cents of silver

from me. Your Highness, you have to reimburse me."

Huaiqing automatically ignored his complaints and asked, "What's your basis for saying she

was pregnant?"

"That's a lot. When a woman is pregnant, spark-like fine lines will appear on her lower abdomen and thighs. This thing is called stretch marks."

"If that's the case, why didn't the old nanny see it just now?" "With proper care, stretch marks will disappear. The stretch marks on Huang Xiaorou's body

are very light, and the body is swollen from being soaked in water, making the stretch marks even more difficult to distinguish. Even I dare not confirm it, and the old nanny must be the same." Xu Qi'an rubbed his hands and explained:

"One more thing, when I was doing the autopsy yesterday, I showed your highness the scar

under Huang Xiaorou's breast... Do you remember my action?"

Xu Qi'an made a motion of turning up with force.

Huaiqing was a little embarrassed. This guy always did something rude in front of her.

No matter how casual she is, she is still an unmarried princess.

"Of course, a woman with extraordinary talent can also reach that level, so this one is just for reference." Xu Qi'an added in his heart:

Your Highness, you are that kind of woman with extraordinary talent.

"Then why did you do the autopsy yourself just now?" Huai Qing asked. If it was just these

two points, then Xu Qi'an would not have to do it himself.

Xu Qi'an was silent.

In addition to stretch marks, whether you have given birth or not can also be judged by the

shape of the cervix.

This question is not easy to answer, it is too academic, just like when he taught Xu Lingyin the difference between boys and girls when they grow up, he used a method that is easy to understand and suitable for all ages.

"Before a woman gives birth, she is like a baby bird crying for food, her mouth is open. After

giving birth, she is satisfied, so her mouth is closed." Xu Qi'an was cautious in his words. "???" Huai Qing looked at him blankly.

Xu Qi'an scratched his head: "Princess, have you read medical books?" Huaiqing looked at him and said coldly: "When you were doing the autopsy yesterday, you

suddenly had a splitting headache. I told you when I took your pulse that you knew a little bit of medicine."

"Oh, that's easy." Xu Qi'an clapped his hands and laughed: "For women who have not given birth, the shape of the uterus is "o", and after giving birth, it becomes "I".

The smart Princess Huaiqing understood this explanation in seconds, but when she thought

of his fierce words just now, Huaiqing didn't want to pay attention to him.

The fourth prince, who didn't know medicine, seemed to understand and sighed: "Mr. Xu is knowledgeable and talented."

This knowledge point came from a love murder case that Xu Qi'an encountered in his previous

life. The deceased was a woman who was two-timing and followed in Brother Cheng's footsteps.

When the old forensic doctor dissected the body, he said: Don't look at her as unmarried, in

fact, someone has died in the house.

Xu Qi'an, who was acting as an assistant at the time, said: Old driver, please guide me.

So this knowledge point was brought up.

"I asked someone to check Huang Xiaorou. She entered the palace in the 28th year of Yuan Jing..." Xu Qiyan glanced at the two princes.

The subtext is that someone is trying to steal Emperor Yuan Jing's wall.

In the 28th year of Yuan Jing, the old emperor had long been abstinent. He didn't even touch

the queen who was so beautiful that she could not be compared with the beautiful Concubine Chen. How could he touch a little maid?

"Who could it be?" The fourth prince fell into deep thought.

Xu Qiyan looked at him silently.

"What are you looking at me for?" The fourth prince felt offended.

Xu Qiyan retracted his gaze and analyzed: "This person is actually very easy to find. He must

meet two conditions: First, he can enter and leave the harem relatively freely, and the clan agrees with this. "Second, he is very courageous and fearless, otherwise he would not dare to attack the maid." At this time, Huaiqing suddenly said: "Brother, I have something to say to Lord Xu. "

The fourth prince frowned, glanced at his sister, and nodded slowly: "I'll leave first." Watching the fourth prince leave, Huaiqing coldly squinted at the eunuch, the eyes and ears of Emperor Yuan Jing.

"Get out."

The eunuch lowered his head and left without saying a word. Sending everyone away, Huaiqing stared at Xu Qi'an with a solemn expression: "Sir Xu,

Huang Xiaorou committed suicide, and the queen mother confessed her guilt, which is

probably related to this man."

Xu Qi'an fiddled with the water in the bucket, his pupils dilated, and there was no focus. "The

princess is too subjective. You must be calm when investigating the case and make assumptions based on the clues. We now find that Huang Xiaorou was once pregnant. Assume

that the man is not your majesty, but someone else.

"Assuming that Huang Xiaorou committed suicide, the Queen saved her and confessed her guilt because of that man. Then, he needs to meet one more condition: "This man has a close relationship with the Queen, but has nothing to do with Your Majesty,

so he can enter and leave the harem, but if he does something to cause chaos in the harem,

Your Majesty will not hesitate to kill him.

"The Fourth Prince is Your Majesty's legitimate son. Even if he bullies the palace maids, Your

Majesty will not kill him no matter how angry he is. The Queen naturally has no reason to "confess" because there is no need."

At this point, he raised his head and looked into Huaiqing's bright eyes: "Does Your Highness

have a candidate in mind?"

Huaiqing frowned and said coldly: "I think of someone."
