Chapter 324 Old love rekindled
Yuan Cang simply couldn't bear to look at the princess, and then left with Ye Xiaoer and the others.

In the past, he was unwilling to stay even a moment longer wherever Xiao Qi was.

Now, Xiao Qi has become the unattainable Duke of the Protectorate, one level higher than him. Even if he inherits his father's position as the commander of the Jinyiwei, he can no longer compete.

He no longer had the temper to pursue the matter of the East Factory burning the archives and Xiao Qi kicking and beating him.

So, his attitude changed.

As the saying goes: If you can't beat them, join them.

They became more respectful to the governor, at least, it saved their face.

The body has been taken away for further investigation and the scene has been cordoned off.

In fact, a wooden spike cannot pierce the chest directly. At least a sharp object is needed to pierce the chest in advance and then drive a wooden spike in.

The biggest problem now is that the murder weapon has not been found.

Sometimes, the murder weapon is important as evidence.

It will also restore the murderer's methods of committing the crime and reveal his identity.

Unfortunately, after searching around, I couldn't verify it.

That night, the courtesans who had performed pipa music at the birthday party were called back one by one and recounted the scene in detail.

"There was indeed a strange smell in the room where we changed, but we covered it up with a lot of powder on our faces. And now that the weather is hot, a little bit of strange smell is normal."

A prostitute was telling the story.

This also confirmed their previous belief that phosphorus powder and sulfur were sprinkled on Xue Yao's clothes.

"Miss Xueyao was asked to join the team three days ago. She is very close to Princess Chuyue. Every time she comes back from Princess Chuyue, she gets a lot of good things. And her little face is rosy, she must be very happy. We even teased her, asking if her lover is also in the palace."

This is true, even Ye Xiao'er knows that Xue Yao and Princess Chu Yue are very close.

At this time, news came from the East Factory.

During this period, several people were found wandering near where Aunt Coral was murdered.

Among them were the Second Prince Chu Xuan, Xue Yao, Yuan Cang, Pei Huai, and patrol soldiers.

Ye Xiaoer actually already had a plan in mind.

These people are clearly unrelated. If you want to connect them together, you have to understand the facts behind them.

It is meaningless for them to just say it, there needs to be real evidence.

After questioning, Ye Xiaoer still wanted to search for evidence.

At this time, it was already very late at night.

The early autumn wind blows away all the heat of the day and brings a hint of coolness.

"Take a rest. If you don't get enough rest tonight, you will be tired tomorrow." Xiao Qi couldn't bear to see her so tired.

"Leave the search and evidence collection to the East Factory. They haven't encountered a big case for a long time, so let them work hard. And I hope you take good care of yourself." He gently draped the cloak hanging in the veranda over her.

Her petite body, wrapped in the cloak, was filled with hazy warmth.

Chenyu, who was waiting in the outer room, saw this scene with her eyes blurred, and seemed to be moved by this warmth.

"Look at the governor, how good he is to the young lady!"

Mo Qili, who was standing by, had a gloomy face and forcibly pulled his arm back. "Can you please stop pinching my arm..."

Chen Yu was disappointed but not willing to be outdone so she moved closer to him again.

Her face was shy, slightly lowered, and she bit her thick lips lightly, then she mustered up the courage to speak.

"Butler Mo, the snow in the capital has been falling heavier recently. I am sending my thoughts to you on every flying hexagonal snowflake. I must be sick. My thoughts are hidden in the snow, and you are hidden in my heart. Suddenly I want to recite a poem: If we can get wet in the snow together today, we can grow old together in this life."

Mo Qili looked at him as if he was mentally retarded: "How can it be winter now? It's not even autumn yet."

"Uh..." Chenyu suddenly felt embarrassed and wanted to burrow into the ground.

I wanted to show off some literary flair from the storybooks, and create some ambiguous atmosphere, but I forgot the season. Damn!

Xiao Yao shook his head helplessly. Chen Yu was really ambitious and even wanted to like Butler Mo.

Alas, it turns out that even a pockmarked face can shine.

Looking at the Governor and the Young Lady.

There was also a warm feeling in my heart. It would be great if the two of them could still be together.

……

This time, King Ying Huangfu Yi was successfully driven out of power, and the emperor's greatest wish was fulfilled.

As for the death of Princess Chu Yue, he actually felt guilty.

But he also knew that the case was extremely complicated. Three people had died in succession in the palace. It would be extremely difficult to investigate the case in just a few days.

When Xiao Qi came to request to go south, he agreed to it.

"Xiao Qi, are you going too? The Ming Palace still needs you to take charge."

"Your Majesty, if you want to get to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible, we can take some people from the East Factory with us, which may help you achieve twice the result with half the effort. As for the Ming Palace, I will come back as soon as possible to handle the palace affairs. And since you are sitting on my throne, it will be the same whether I am here or not."

No one knew better than himself how high-sounding his words were - he just wanted to go south with Xiao Xiao.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"That night, Xiao'er will go south with you. I advise you that you are the backbone of the Ming Dynasty. Don't let a woman become a hindrance to your life."

The emperor still remembered that neither of Ye Xiaoer's children were Xiao Qi's.

Although Xiao Qi is a eunuch, since she has married into the governor's mansion, she can be guaranteed a prosperous and wealthy life in the future.

But the only disadvantage is that women will never have their own children in their lifetime.

A child can be adopted, but one cannot have an affair with another person.

The emperor was a loyal and honest person, and he despised such dirty things the most! So he repeatedly warned him.

Xiao Qi actually didn’t understand why the emperor was so hostile towards Ye Xiaoer.

But he was sure that if the day ever came when he and Xiao Xiao would become successful, the emperor would gladly agree!

……

The autopsy in the palace and the interrogation of relevant personnel were presided over by Baili Huang, the head of the East Factory.
