Chapter 90 - Chapter 90 090. This Princess is humble and studious

Shen Yuan's body had yet to be buried, and was currently being placed in the Spirit Hall in the backyard, guarded by a few servants.

"Coroners, go up and examine Miss Shen."

"Yes, Prince."

The coroner stepped forward. Because Shen Yuan had not been dead for long and the weather had turned cold, he was not in a terrifying state.

The body was taken to an empty room in the backyard of the Shen household for examination.

Because Yan Yuan was here, the coroner did not dare to be negligent at all. He carefully examined the corpses from top to bottom.

Finally, he walked in front of Yan Yuan and said: "Prince, Miss Shen did suffocate to death by strangling, and judging from the scars on her neck, it is indeed caused by Bai Ling."

Liu Ruo Qing listened and sized up Liu's's expression. Seeing that she finished listening to the coroner's narration, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Although it was not very obvious, he could still see it clearly.

"coroner, are you sure you know about this?"

Liu Ruo Qing looked at the coroner, and emphasized.

"This lowly one dares not disrespect you."

Liu Ruo Qing walked to the side of Shen Yuan's body and once again seriously examined the leash on Shen Yuan's neck.

She stared at the marks on her neck and was silent for a few seconds. Just when everyone thought she'd found something, she said nothing and continued her examination.

His fingers stopped right at the back of Shen Yuan's arteries. After feeling it a few times, he retracted his hand.

"There's really nothing suspicious about the cause of death."

Her words caused everyone present to heave a sigh of relief, including the coroner.

They were afraid that they would be punished by Yan Yuan if they found out something they missed.

"Since that's the case, then This King will not bother you any longer. Master Shen can peacefully take care of the affairs behind Miss Shen's back."

"But Prince, didn't you say that my daughter …"

"It could be that This King's judgement was wrong."

Yan Yuan lightly blocked Shen Chong's doubts. Although it seemed unfathomable, it was completely ordinary.

When leaving from the backyard, Yan Yuan was still talking to the bailiff at the side: "Tell Master Wei that there are no suspicions on the cause of death, so you guys should leave."

"Yes, Prince."

When he was passing by the front courtyard, an elderly servant was holding onto a bowl of medicine, walking unsteadily in front of them. Liu Ruo Qing's footsteps paused for a moment.

His gaze subconsciously swept over the bowl of medicine in the old man's hand. His eyes seemed to be deep in thought.

On the way back from Shen Mansion, Yan Yuan suddenly let out a faint smile, turned and looked at Liu Ruo Qing, and said: "Speak, what did you find?"

Liu Ruo Qing was startled, she looked up at Yan Yuan's smiling, yet not smiling, eyes, and pouted her lips, "I can't hide it from you."

"If you can hide it from the This King, will the This King let all of them leave the Shen Mansion easily?"

"You did it on purpose?"

Liu Ruo Qing's eyes lit up. Indeed, Yan Yuan was not as brainless as the average second generation Emperor. She had almost underestimated him just now.

Yan Yuan did not answer, but indifferently said, "Speak, what did you discover when you examined Shen Yuan's body just now?"

"There are two marks on Shen Yuan's neck, but the other one is too thin, and it was covered by the white silk."

"That thin seal is the real culprit who strangled Shen Yuan to death?"

"Nonsense, if Shen Yuan had been strangled to death by Bai Ling, who would dare to add another sentence to the list?"

Yan Yuan did not mind her arrogant attitude and only laughed indifferently.

"And this."

On Liu Ruo Qing's palm, a small, green, oval shaped leaf appeared. "This was discovered on Shen Yuan's collar, I saw that Shen Yuan is a miss of the Qian Jin, his clothes must have a servant helping his, it's impossible for such a thing to appear on his collar, unless it was left behind when the killer killed her."

"Also, there's a very deep fingernail mark here in Shen Yuan that was created using a lot of strength."

She pointed to the seat at the back of her carotid artery, and said to Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan raised his eyebrows, although he had expected her to discover some traces that the coroner would not, he never expected her to discover such a small place.

It really didn't look like the usual mischievous, careless, and dead girl at all.

He was quite meticulous when it came to critical issues.

"Since you discovered so much, why didn't you say it out clearly at Shen Mansion just now?"

"Didn't you ask me to explain it clearly?"

Liu Ruo Qing looked up and glanced at him. In fact, she knew in her heart that Yan Yuan must have guessed what he was thinking.

Although there was no substantial evidence, the person she suspected the most was Shen Yuan's mother, Liu's.

Although he didn't know why the Liu's wanted to kill his own daughter, all the evidence pointed towards her.

The reason why he did not realize anything just now was only to let Liu's relax his guard.

As long as Shen Yuan was in the ground, the Liu's would let down his guard and find more flaws.

"Do you know what this is?"

Yan Yuan asked as he pointed to the small green leaf on her palm.

"Chicken bone grass."

She carefully kept the leaf in her bosom and said, "Moreover, this is what is in Shen Mansion."

She raised her eyebrows at Yan Yuan, and the confidence flowing out from her eyebrows made Yan Yuan a little dazed.

Liu Ruo Qing did not notice, but she continued to speak: "Just now, when we were passing by the courtyard, the bowl of medicine in the old lady's hands, was made from the chicken bone grass. The old lady is already old, and with the addition of the fact that this season it is easy for rheumatism to break out, the chicken bone grass is used to treat rheumatism pain, so the Shen Mansion should still have some chicken bone grass in her hands."

In the past when she stole tombs, she would often encounter various kinds of injuries. In order to make it convenient to treat her injuries, her master taught her over a thousand kinds of Chinese herbal medicines.

After Liu Ruo Qing finished speaking, she realized that Yan Yuan had been looking at her the entire time. Her expression was a little strange, causing Liu Ruo Qing to feel a little guilty.

"What? Is there a problem with what I said?"

"No problem."

Yan Yuan regained his senses, and retracted the feeling that just flashed past his heart, and pretended to be calm: "This King is only curious, why do you know everything?"

Liu Ruo Qing's face froze and a trace of guilt flashed past her eyes. If it wasn't for the fact that Yan Yuan was also looking at her now because of his guilt, the guilt in her eyes would have definitely been discovered by him.

Before I got married, I came over from Taiyuan Hospital's Imperial Medicine. It's not wrong to learn more self-defense skills, there's a cure, there's no cure, is there not a cure, is there not a cure?

"Mm, that makes sense."

Yan Yuan nodded with a smile that was not a smile, and agreed.
