Chapter 252

Huaiqing Xiu eyebrows slightly frown, with Xu Qi'an's action, she looked at the dim yellow silk cloth, clear and cold voice mixed with urgency: "what do you find?"

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

"Flash" in Huaiqing's beautiful eyes I don't understand why he said so loud just now.

Wei Yuan's eyes then fell on the yellow silk cloth and said, "this is the material that can only be used by concubines who are above grade three in the palace."

Concubines in the palace also have rank. At the top of the list are empresses, imperial concubines and imperial concubines. Fu Fei, who has a fixed title, is a genuine product.

Further down, Madame, concubine, Zhaoyi and so on are all in the third grade.

The classification of harem beauties touched the blind area of Xu Qi'an's knowledge, but it was not a big problem. He asked: "so, how can the maids have this kind of material?"

The fourth Prince replied, "it's either given by a noble man or stolen."

Xu Qi'an nodded.

Wei Yuan took over the yellow silk cloth with dim color for some years and examined it once: "spring of the 31st year of Yuanjing"

"what happened in this year? I mean the palace." In those days, I had an idea to ask if something important happened.

This is his inspiration from the last time the queen was abandoned.

In the 13th year of Yuanjing, the queen was put into the cold palace.

The next year, Wei Yuan went out to fight against the barbarians in the north, and the empress came out of the cold palace. If Xu Qi'an didn't know about it, he could only guess that emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty remembered his old love and pardoned the empress.

Therefore, the materials left by Huang xiaorou, the maid of honor, are embroidered with the thirty first year of Yuanjing. Maybe we can find clues from the chronicle of the year.

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

"Think again?" Xu Qian is not reconciled.

They still shake their heads.

Well, if the two university tyrants join hands to veto, there is no hope... Also, how can a mere maid in waiting be related to a big event.

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

Until now, the fufei case has finally entered a difficult mode. The previous clues were deliberately thrown out by the behind the scenes, and the case itself is not very difficult.

In other words, even if he doesn't take over the case, others can find out. The only difference is the length of time.

Now, out of the guidance of the backstage, it's his turn to show his skills.

And so on...

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

He straightened his back, looked serious and said, "Duke Wei, I have something to ask you."

Seeing that the little Gong He appreciated was serious, Wei Yuan put down his tea cup and said gently, "say it."

"Before returning to Beijing, Fu Fei's case had been delayed, and the third division refused to investigate. If the humble job is really dead, will the case really be done by the prince? "

At the beginning, Xu Qian thought that the case involved a lot, and the third division didn't want to take over. Until he came back to life, he just took over the hot potato.

When he saw the prince that day, the Minister of Dali temple also insinuated that he was a pawn.

Wei Yuan picked up his tea cup again and took a sip of tea: "today your majesty wants to abolish the empress, but the third division and the princes don't agree. They think we should let the third division confirm it first, and then discuss the abolishment. It should not be your Majesty's choice.

"There are no more than three points in Zhugong's mind: first, the waste is very important, so we have to go through the process, and we should not be rash. 2、 The princes hated this sudden incident, which would make them feel that they did not have enough control over the court. 3、 They need time to figure out what's going on after the scrapping. "

So, the monarch and the minister have been playing chess since ancient times. Xu Qi'an understood, "so is it the same with the prince?"

Wei Yuan nodded: "the prince is related to the foundation of the country. Does your majesty say three days is three days? The third division doesn't check, but tells your majesty that they need time. "

"... so, I'm not needed at all. Even if I don't come back, someone will take over the case in a few days. Then, according to the clues given by the real murderer behind the scenes, we can find the queen step by step

Xu Qian's words surprised the fourth prince.

Wei Yuan is thoughtful.

"So, you were assassinated last night because the people behind the scenes didn't want you to go further. He's scared. " Huaiqing Princess hit the nail on the head and told Xu Qian's guess.

"Afraid?" The fourth prince was puzzled.

"The resurrection of Lord Xu is beyond the expectation of those behind the scenes, and his reputation is so loud that those behind the scenes dare not let him continue to investigate. As a result, the person behind the scenes immediately sent out killers to eradicate Mr. Xu

Huaiqing explained to his brother.

"I see."

The fourth prince asked, "how can we find out now?"

Wei Yuan and Huai Qing do not speak, looking at Xu Qi'an.

They're all very smart people, but it's up to professionals to investigate.For example, Xu Qi'an often feels that his IQ is comparable to that of Einstein, but he has to admit that he still has a hundred million points to lose in such a trivial matter as making the original bullet, which depends on professional scientists.

Facing the three people's eyes, the famous detective Xu Ningyan said in a deep voice: "my official, I want to open the coffin for autopsy."

...

palace.

The fourth Prince and Princess Huaiqing took Xu Qi'an into the palace. The carriage drove into the Palace door. Xu Qi'an lifted the curtain and suggested: "I still have to inform the little father-in-law. After all, this is the rule set by your majesty for me."

After thinking about it, the fourth Prince nodded his head and said, "yes, Lord Xu is indeed a law-abiding man. He is loyal to Dafeng and his father."

You think too much, I just from the heart... Xu Qi'an moved to say: "the fourth Prince's eyes know people."

Huaiqing was in another carriage. The princess and the young man were not allowed to ride in the same carriage.

if there is no such Prince of the four emperor's brother, Xu Qi an may be bold enough to try and ask for a ride with his highness.

The fourth Prince immediately sent someone to inform him. A quarter of an hour later, the little father-in-law in the light blue flying fish suit came running.

He looked at Xu Qi'an doubtfully and said, "Mr. Xu, isn't the case closed?"

Xu Qian replied, "if your majesty does not take back the gold medal one day, I will continue to investigate."

"OK, ok..."

in fact, the little eunuch doesn't want to take this job any more, and he wants to live a few more years.

But Huaiqing and the fourth prince are on his side. He dare not refuse. He follows Xu Qian helplessly and goes to the ice cellar with him.

Near the ice cellar, Xu Qi'an suddenly said: "you go to invite an old mother to come."

Send away the little eunuch, Xu Qi'an, Princess Huaiqing and the fourth prince into the ice cellar, see the palace maid Huang xiaorou's body.

The anatomical marks on her neck and chest have been sewn up.

"Your Majesty has reexamined the body." Xu Qi'an stares at Huang xiaorou's body.

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

"What else do you want to test?" Huaiqing asked without changing his face.

"Do you still remember the" rules "that your royal highness and your humble servant said during the autopsy yesterday?" Xu Qi'an called the eunuch, who was in charge of the ice cellar, and said, "take her to the yard. It's too dark here."

Huaiqing Leng for a while, and then understand the meaning of Xu Qi'an, white cheek quietly hung a faint red.

She knows what Xu Qian is going to do.

Two eunuchs came in from the outside, left the ice cellar with their crude boards, and put the bodies in the yard, exposing them to the sun.

Xu Qi'an let the body rest in the sun for a moment, until the little father-in-law led an old woman to come over. Xu Qi'an looked and was happy.

It's the old lady who drives better than him.

When the old lady saw Huaiqing and the fourth prince, she immediately saluted.

Then, Chao Xu Qi'an complained in a low voice: "this adult, how can I ask the old slave to do the autopsy again? The old slave is not a casual worker. He has been doing the autopsy all day and can't eat any food."

When she got closer, she saw a swollen and ugly corpse. The old lady said, "ah!" and covered her eyes: "if you can't test it, please don't embarrass the old slave."

As soon as the fourth Prince frowned, he began to scold him. Xu Qi'an waved his hand. Then he took out a piece of broken silver, about five coins, put it in his palm, spread it out, and said with a smile, "Mammy, can you check it?"

"I'm glad to serve you." The old lady said with a kind face: "what do you want to test?"

Xu Qi'an pointed to the woman's corpse and said, "check whether she is a perfect match."

The old lady wrapped her hands in coarse cloth and separated the legs of the female corpse...

the fourth Prince and Huaiqing turned around at the same time, not looking at the next operation.

About ten seconds later, they heard the old lady "Yi" a voice: "this female corpse is not a virgin."

Not a virgin... Huaiqing and the fourth Prince looked at each other, both shocked and shocked.

The so-called three thousand harem beauties actually include the maids.

In the past dynasties, there are many examples of emperors being lucky with their maids. During the five hundred years since the founding of Dafeng, there were many maids who came from maids.

Although Huang xiaorou is a humble palace maid, she belongs to the emperor's woman in essence and is the private property of emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty.

All the women in the harem belong to the emperor. It's one thing to be lucky or not, but that's the system.

Xu Qi'an's eyes brightened, as if his guess had been confirmed. He stepped forward and said, "Mammy, you can see if she was pregnant."

"This..." the old lady looked at the swollen corpse, her face wrinkled into a ball: "I can't see it."

asked you to use it, and gave it back to me... Xu make complaints about it, and sighed, "well, mud will play, I will come myself."So she took the place of the old mother and separated her legs.

...

a quarter of an hour later, in the yard, Xu Qi'an put his hands in the bucket and kept rubbing and rubbing. A square soap horn was used by him smaller and smaller.

Huaiqing, a tall princess in White Palace Dress, stood by. The cool wind pulled her skirt and brushed her hair. She was pure and beautiful.

"How much longer do you want to wash it?"

Huaiqing's voice is helpless.

"Wash to change a layer of skin." Xu Qi'an has no good airway.

Although his middle finger and ring finger have waded back and forth on the muddy road, they should never be wronged like that.

"It's all the fault of that old lady. She doesn't have much ability, and she's greedy for five money. Your highness, you have to pay me for it."

Huaiqing automatically ignored his complaints and asked, "what's the basis for you to say that she was pregnant?"

"This is more. After a woman is pregnant, sparkle like fine lines will appear on her abdomen and thigh roots. This thing is called stretch marks."

"If so, just now, why didn't the old lady see it?"

"If you take good care of yourself, the stretch marks will disappear. The stria gravidarum on Huang xiaorou's body is very light, and the body is swollen in water, which makes the stria gravidarum more difficult to distinguish. I don't even dare to confirm my humble position, so must old Mammy. " As Xu Qi'an rubbed his hands, he explained:

"one more thing, at the autopsy yesterday, I showed his Highness the scar under Huang xiaorou's breast... Do you remember my action?"

Xu Qi'an made a strong upward movement.

Huaiqing is a little shy. This guy is always rude in front of her.

No matter how informal She is, she is still a princess.

"Of course, gifted women can also reach that scale, so this one is only for reference." Xu Qi'an added in his heart:

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

"Then why did you do the autopsy yourself?" Huaiqing asked, if it's just these two, then Xu Qi'an doesn't need to do it in person.

Xu Qian was silent.

Have had a child, in addition to stria gravidarum, but also according to the shape of the cervix to determine.

It's not easy to answer this question. It's too academic, just like when he taught Xu Lingyin the difference between boys and girls when they grow up, in a way that is easy to understand and suitable for all ages.

"Before a woman gives birth, it's like a chick crying for food. Her mouth is open. After giving birth, they are satisfied, so the mouth is closed. " Xu Qian carefully worded.

“？？？” Huaiqing looked at him blankly.

Xu Qian scratched his head: "princess, have you read medical books?"

Huaiqing looked at him and said coldly: "yesterday, when you had an autopsy, you suddenly had a headache. When I felt your pulse, I said that I had some medical skills."

"Oh, that's easy." Xu Qian clapped his hands and laughed: "for an unborn woman, the shape of the fetal orifice is in the shape of" O ". After having a child, it becomes in the shape of" one. "

This explanation, intelligent Princess Huaiqing can understand, just think of his words just now, Huaiqing don't want to talk to him.

The fourth prince, who didn't know the medical skills, said with emotion: "Mr. Xu is erudite and talented."

This knowledge point comes from a love murder case that Xu Qi'an met in his last life. The dead man was a woman who followed brother Cheng.

Old forensic autopsy body, said: you don't see she is not married, in fact, the house died.

At that time, Xu Qi'an, an assistant, said: the old driver took me.

So I brought out this knowledge point.

"I asked someone to check Huang xiaorou. She entered the palace in the 28th year of Yuanjing..." Xu Qi'an took a look at the two princes.

The subtext is that someone prized the foot of the wall.

In the 28th year of Yuanjing, the old emperor had been abstinent for a long time. He didn't even touch the empress Chen Guifei. How could he touch a little maid?

"Who could it be?" The fourth prince was lost in thought.

Xu Qi'an looked at him silently.

"What do you think the palace does?" The fourth Prince felt offended.

In fact, it's necessary for Xu zong'an to find a relative good person to go in and out of the palace.

"Second, I have a lot of courage. If I don't have the courage, I won't dare to attack the palace maids."

At this time, Huaiqing suddenly said: "brother, I have something to say to Lord Xu."

The fourth Prince frowned, looked at his younger sister and nodded slowly: "I'll go first."

Seeing the fourth Prince leave, Huaiqing coldly squints at the eyes and ears of emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty - the little eunuch.

"Get out of here."

The little eunuch bowed his head and left without saying a word.

Apart from everyone else, Huaiqing stares at Xu Qi'an with a solemn look: "Lord Xu, Huang xiaorou committed suicide. The mother confesses her guilt, which is mostly related to this man."Xu Qi'an fiddled with the water in the bucket, the pupil spread, no focus, "the princess is too subjective, investigation must be calm, according to the clues put forward hypothesis. We now find that Huang xiaorou was pregnant, assuming that the man was not his majesty, but someone else.

"Suppose Huang xiaorou commits suicide, and the queen saves her and pleads guilty because of the man. Then, he also needs to meet one condition:

"this man has a close relationship with the queen, but has little relationship with his majesty, so he can go in and out of the harem, but if he does something to disturb the harem, his majesty will kill him without hesitation.

"The fourth Prince is his Majesty's legitimate son. Even if he bullies his maids, no matter how angry his majesty is, he won't be killed. Naturally, the queen has no reason to "plead guilty" because it is unnecessary. "

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at Huaiqing's bright eyes: "is there a candidate in your Highness's heart?"

Huaiqing calm face, cold tone: "I think of a person."

PS: when I wrote this chapter, I reviewed the case again, confirmed that there were no missing details, and kept deliberating, so after the update, I would like to make it earlier.

It's still ten thousand words today.
