Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 471 Autopsy (Update )
Chengxin Lake.

Xiao Lanxi's carriage only stopped at the door for a short while, and delivered some clothes and food. The guards in charge checked again and again before bringing those things in.

As for Xiao Lanxi herself, she naturally couldn't set foot there.

She was tactful and took the carriage back to the palace after a short while.

However, to outsiders, such behavior is seen as a sign of loyalty to this half-brother.

He still dared to get involved with Xiao Chengxuan at such a critical juncture, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind to stand on the same front with them.

……

"She only has this one person to back her up in the palace. If she doesn't do this, what else can she do?"

As soon as Princess Qinyang learned the news, she immediately went to the Ye Mansion to share it with Ye Chutang.

She paid special attention to any movement those people made.

"Right now, she has no other choice but to hold on to this remaining thigh."

Ye Chutang didn't think so.

"Noble Concubine Ru and Xiao Chengxuan are not her biological mother and brother. As far as I know, she only stayed in Yaohua Palace for a few years, and it seems that she did not have a deep relationship with them."

It is not an easy thing for an extremely unpopular princess, without the protection of her mother, to gain a foothold in this palace.

The fact that she was able to cling to the support of the imperial concubine and her son proved that she was not as simple and innocent as she appeared.

Especially now, when the mother and son were in great danger, she did not fly away alone, but was still running around for them.

Princess Qinyang seemed to be thinking: "Maybe it's...affection?"

She even laughed when she said this.

The most ruthless imperial family.

In that cannibalistic palace, who isn't full of calculations?

But she really couldn't understand Xiao Lanxi's purpose in doing this.

"She doesn't really think that Xiao Chengxuan still has a chance to make a comeback, does she?"

Ye Chutang picked up a few herbs in his hand and said, "Until that day comes, no one knows who will have the last laugh."

Xiao Chengxuan was in trouble, but the power behind him was huge, so he would never fall easily.

Even if he didn't want to fight, the complicated parties would not agree.

One glory and one glory.

Princess Qinyang watched her fiddling with the herbs and shrugged in boredom: "Isn't it? If you hadn't intervened in time to stabilize His Majesty's condition, I'm afraid things would have gotten out of hand!"

But even so, the situation in the DPRK is not optimistic.

Emperor Mu Wu’s health is really not good. Ye Chutang can save him once, but can he save him twice or three times?

The people below must have been eyeing that position for a long time.

If anything happens to Emperor Mu Wu in the future... there will definitely be a dispute.

Ye Chutang's brows were calm, as if he didn't care about these things.

Princess Qinyang saw that she seemed uninterested in these things, so she simply stopped talking.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chutang suddenly asked another question.

"Are the princess and His Royal Highness Prince Jing familiar with each other?"

"Who? Prince Jing?" Princess Qinyang was stunned for a moment, unable to react.

"I have seen him several times at palace banquets before, but he rarely leaves the house later, so I see him less often. Why are you asking about him suddenly?"

Ye Chutang said, "I think I ran into someone from Prince Jing's Mansion on the street today, buying mountain products from a small vendor."

Princess Qinyang quickly understood: "What you are talking about is actually not a rare thing. His house is often short of things, and he needs these to take care of his illness, so he can only go out to search for them himself."

It seems that this matter is not only heard by ordinary people, but even the people mentioned above have heard of it.

From what Princess Qinyang said, Prince Jing's Mansion has been in this state for a long time.

Can……

"He is a prince after all, why would he do this?"

Princess Qinyang thought Ye Chutang was sympathetic and sighed, "What can a deposed prince do without the protection of his mother's family?"

Ye Chutang had heard something about the background of His Royal Highness Prince Jing.

I heard that his mother was just an ordinary noblewoman who was favored for a period of time because of her beauty. Not long after, she gave birth to the fourth prince, but she died of dystocia due to deficiency of energy and blood.

Before the Fourth Prince established his own government, he had a hard time in the palace.

Of course, his life was not very good after leaving the palace, and he was considered the most miserable among the princes.

In addition to having no family background, he also had a fatal flaw - when he was thirteen years old, he accidentally fell off his horse and broke his leg.

Such a powerless prince, who doesn't even have a healthy body, is seen as a burden by everyone.

Who would want to be associated with such a person?

Ye Chutang groaned for a moment and said, "So, His Royal Highness Prince Jing is really living a hard life."

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with this." Princess Qinyang held her chin with one hand. "At least, I don't have to get involved in those disputes, and I don't have to worry about my life all day. You haven't seen him, so you may not understand him. He has a gentle temperament. Maybe it's because of his experiences since childhood that he doesn't have a bad temper. Even if the palace servants make mistakes, he never blames them and always wants to keep things quiet."

Princess Qinyang has never been interested in such clay figures, and they are not even considered friends.

However, for such people, being content with a corner may not be a bad thing.

Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly: "That's true."

……

Dingbeihou Mansion.

The candlelight flickered, and the study was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Just a very faint moonlight, like water, quietly spread along the window lattice, and when it flowed to the tall and upright figure, it stopped silently, almost blending into the snow-white clothes.

A deep and clear voice sounded faintly: "That's all?"

Xi Su knelt on one knee and bowed his head, saying, "My Lord, I have personally examined Xu Jie's body, and the injuries on his body are almost exactly the same as described in this case file."

Shen Yanchuan casually flipped through the thin booklet in his hand.

Half an hour ago, the three judicial departments performed an autopsy on Xu Jie, and the files they had just obtained appeared here in the blink of an eye.

Shen Yanchuan could guess what was written on it without looking closely.

These were all tricks that those people had used up to a point of exhaustion, and even their excuses were the same - it was nothing more than that Xu Jie suffered a mental breakdown after the incident, and could not withstand repeated interrogations, and eventually he could not hold on and died suddenly in prison.

However, although this thing can fool ordinary people, it is nothing but a joke in Shen Yanchuan's view.

"almost?"

Xi Su said: "In addition to the normal interrogation and torture, Xu Jie's ears were both driven with iron nails several inches long."
