Chapter 317 Qing Ning, I am sick!
Qin Jingyu looked at his old appearance, his face full of tears and extremely haggard.
He said softly, "Marquis Ping'an, you must trust Ouyang Rui. He is the student you taught, and he will definitely be better than you."
"If Lu Hangzhi was murdered, then we will definitely be able to find the real murderer!"
Lu Changhui nodded.
If what happened before had already broken his back.
Then the death of his son Lu Hangzhi might be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
He can't hold on any longer.
Qin Jingyu asked someone to help Lu Changhui down first, and asked the court doctor to prescribe a tranquilizing medicine for him.
When he found Ouyang Rui, Ouyang Rui was taking the coroner to examine the body.
Lu Hang died in a very miserable manner, with his body covered in mud.
In order to find out the truth, the sludge has not been cleaned yet.
Qin Jingyu: "Any clues?"
Ouyang Rui: "There are bruises on his body. Maybe he was kicked into the lotus pond."
"But it is not ruled out that he hit it when he fell."
"But an ordinary person wouldn't stick his head into the mud and not struggle."
In short, even if Lu Hangzhi was desperate and wanted to commit suicide, he would not choose this method.
As for what others said, he fell into the lotus pond because he was drunk and couldn't distinguish between reality and fantasy...
Qin Jingyu: "Hangzhi is definitely not someone who would seek death. He always knows what is best for himself."
Such a person cannot bear to commit suicide.
After suicide was ruled out, it was probably falling into the lotus pond while drunk...
Ouyang Rui: "Our people are already searching the lotus pond, but it's a little difficult because it's frozen. But if there is any evidence, it will be frozen."
Qin Jingyu patted his shoulder and said, "It's not easy to be the Marquis of Ping'an. You should investigate this case carefully."
Ouyang Rui nodded carefully.
Qin Jingyu looked at Lu Hangzhi who was lying there, with sighs and emotion in his eyes.
Although this "brother" has many faults, he does not deserve to die no matter what.
The real culprit behind the scenes...
Qin Jingyu's gaze suddenly fell on Lu Hangzhi's hand. His body was stiff, so his fingers were originally digging inside.
If you look closely, you will find that there is blood on his nails?
Qin Jingyu: "Are there any other wounds on Lu Hangzhi's body? Any wounds that bleed?"
The coroner shook his head. "Master Lu had no other injuries except bruises all over his body. He definitely died of suffocation."
Qin Jingyu: "So, the blood under his fingernails belongs to the murderer."
"Immediately interrogate the people in Ping'an Marquis' Mansion, or the murderer is someone from Ping'an Marquis' Mansion."
"Or, the people from Ping'an Marquis Mansion colluded with outsiders and killed Lu Hangzhi!"
If it is confirmed to be homicide, then the next step will be easy.
In addition to severely interrogating the people in Ping'an Marquis' Mansion, the purpose is to find out who has the motive for murder.
Who hates Lu Hangzhi?
Qin Jingyu almost immediately thought of someone.
"Qin Tingfang."
After returning home, Qin Jingyu told Lin Qingning about Lu Hangzhi.
The first person Lin Qingning thought of was Qin Tingfang, who had changed from Shen Ruoying to the Ninth Prince's adopted daughter.
But the next moment, she murmured:
"Qin Tingfang herself should not be able to do it. Could it be that she borrowed the power of the Ninth Prince?"
Qin Jingyu: "Not only will the Ninth Prince help her, do you still remember the fire when Guangping Marquis's Mansion was still the Duke's Mansion?"
“Someone helped Shen Ruoying, so she was able to fake her death successfully at that time.”
Lin Qingning: "Is it Zhao Feiyang?"
Qin Jingyu nodded, "It should be him. After you told me last time, you sent someone to look for him at Guangping Marquis Mansion, but his whereabouts are unknown."
Then, something happened to Shen Qi, the prince of Guangping Marquisate.
The people in the Guangping Marquis' Mansion would not care at all where the adopted son of a steward went.
Things gradually became clear.
However, in order to arrest Qin Tingfang, we still need evidence.
"Before Lu Hangzhi died, he scratched the murderer. The murderer should have scars on his body."
"By the way, Qing Ning, the whole capital may be in a state of panic from now on. The remnants of the Dark Market are still there. If you go out, you must be careful."
Lin Qingning nodded and said, "There's no need to move to the Lin Mansion now. It's the end of the year and there won't be much to do."
"However, when the New Year's Eve party comes, I may receive many posts."
Qin Jingyu: "I won't go to any of the New Year's Eve banquets this year. When we move to the East Palace next year, all the etiquette will be different."
The circumstances this year are special. They have not yet held the enthronement ceremony and have not moved into the East Palace.
So I'm sure many families will post invitations to invite them to the New Year's Eve dinner.
Most importantly, Qin Jingyu was worried that someone was taking advantage of the situation here.
Originally they were planning to take action against the Ninth Prince, but who would have thought that something bad would happen to Lu Hangzhi.
Lin Qingning: "Well, OK, I will reject all future posts."
There were many things to do at the end of the year. Qin Jingyu became the crown prince again, and he also had to help the "sick" Emperor Minghe review memorials.
Lin Qingning allows people to prepare things for the New Year with peace of mind.
The Imperial Observatory has already sent a message that the enthronement ceremony will be held on the eighth day of April next year, and he will move into the Eastern Palace.
In other words, right after Xiao Xiyao’s first birthday, their family would move.
Sure enough, in the following days, many invitations for New Year’s Eve banquets were sent to me.
Even the Guangping Marquis Mansion sent an invitation.
Granny Liao stood by and said helplessly, "What on earth is the Guangping Marquis's Mansion thinking? They are still sending you invitations at this time."
Lin Qingning: "They just don't want to offend me. Or maybe they have other intentions."
“But what I don’t understand is that they all knew about Shen Qi’s death, which might be related to Shen Ruoying, but why is there no follow-up?”
"Also, how did Shen Ruoying suddenly become the adopted daughter of the Ninth Prince?"
This is the most questionable part.
Is the person behind Shen Ruoying very powerful now?
Even when a prince of Guangping Marquisate died, they didn't dare to have any objection?
In short, even without Jing Yu's reminder, Lin Qingning had no intention of going to the appointment at Guangping Marquis' Mansion.
But other places, such as Ouyang Mansion, must be politely refused.
After a while, Banxia came in to report.
"Master, Princess Nalan is here."
Lin Qingning: "Please come in."
This girl usually wouldn't come over if she had nothing to do, after all, she was very afraid of Jing Yu.
It came suddenly, something must have happened.
As soon as Lin Qingning stood up, she saw Nalan Zhuer coming in with red eyes.
When she saw Lin Qingning, she couldn't hold back any longer, so she hugged her and started crying.
"Lime, I'm sick!"
Lin Qingning: “…”
She quickly pulled him to sit down and said gently, "Zhu'er, what happened? Tell me slowly."
Nalan Zhu'er sobbed and said:
"Cen Jue and I have never had a child. I always joked that he was not in good health."
"As a result, when Shu He checked my body, it turned out that I was the one with the problem!"
"She said that I was actually poisoned very early and hurt my body."
The person who poisoned the food is self-evident.
It must be someone who was around Nalan Zhuer before, either a family member or a very trusted confidant.
Every result made Nalan Zhu'er feel heartbroken.
She cried and then started laughing.
It's self-mockery.
"Qing Ning, do you know? We all knew that we came to Da Chu as hostages."
"The eldest and second sisters already have lovers and engagements, the fourth sister is timid, and the fifth sister is young."
"At the beginning, I volunteered to come here on my own initiative."
Although no one knows who poisoned her, it must be someone from southern Xinjiang.
It's really ridiculous.
For the sake of Southern Xinjiang, she is willing to sacrifice her whole life and leave her hometown.
As a result, the people of southern Xinjiang deprived her of the right to be a mother.
You won't even give her a blood relative, and just let her die alone in this Great Chu!
Nalan Zhu'er really has no one close to her in Da Chu.
She has the closest relationship with Lin Qingning and Princess Jiamin.
However, Jiamin is pregnant now, and Nalan Zhuer doesn't dare to go, for fear of scaring her.
That's why I came to find Lin Qingning.
Nalan Zhu'er fell asleep while crying.
Lin Qingning asked someone to look after her.
At the same time, he called over Banxia and ordered, "Go ask Shu He how Zhu'er is poisoned and whether the poison can be cured?"
Banxia: “Yes.”
Nalan Zhu'er has a lively and cheerful personality, but she is different from Princess Jiamin, who also has a cheerful and lively personality.
Jiamin has lived a happy life since she was a child. She has been loved and never suffered any grievances.
Her liveliness comes from the heart.
But Nalan Zhuer tries hard to be lively, hoping to bring happiness to the people around her.
The latter is very hard.
It's just that others tend to ignore her pain.
Nalan Zhu'er hadn't woken up yet when Cen Jue arrived.
Looking at Cen Jue who had an anxious look on his face, Lin Qingning thought with relief that there were still people who understood how difficult it was for Zhu'er.
Cen Jue bowed to Lin Qingning and said, "This subordinate greets the Crown Princess. May I ask if Zhu'er is here?"
Lin Qingning nodded slightly, "She just came, cried for a while, and now she is sleeping in the guest room."
Cen Jue looked uncomfortable.
"I knew she had always wanted a child, and I cooperated by going to see the doctor and taking medicine."
"She suddenly discovered that something was wrong with her body, and that she might have been poisoned by her family..."
"She couldn't accept it for a while, so she ran away."
In fact, Cen Jue is still working for the Ninth Prince in name.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have come to the prince's house.
But when he heard that Zhu'er had run away, he became extremely worried, so he rushed over without thinking about anything else.
Lin Qingning: "I also know something, but I don't know what poison she was poisoned with."
"Don't worry too much. Since Divine Doctor Bai is still in the capital, you can ask him to help you see if he can detoxify you."
Cen Jue immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Crown Princess!"
Lin Qingning: "By the way, shouldn't you stay here for too long?"
"How about you go back first, and wait until Zhu'er calms down, and then I'll have someone send her home?"
Cen Jue nodded.
But before he left, he said seriously: "Crown Princess, please tell Zhu'er that it's okay even if she doesn't have children in the future."
"I will never take a concubine, I only want her!"
