Chapter 342: Living in luxury
Aunt Coral’s autopsy results are out.

The murderer must have used a sharp weapon to pierce the chest. Although the force was very strong, he did not pierce it in one go. He pierced the chest directly the second time and then stuffed the wooden spike directly into it.

As for the Bixia feather robe that is passed through the abdomen, the same technique is used.

The murder weapon has been found, it was a dagger that could cut through iron like mud.

The style is very exquisite, and it actually comes from the palace.

Ye Xiaoer understood that this matter must be related to Ye Yu.

The only bond between Aunt Shanhu and herself is her mother Yeyu.

She also said that her life was in danger and she had to tell the secret to herself, and that this secret was most likely related to her mother.

Therefore, those who knew the secret back then should still be around now.

"I'm wondering, how did Aunt Coral get stabbed in the chest with a dagger? Was it a head-on attack, or was it stabbed directly from behind?" Ye Xiao'er wondered.

"The autopsy results said that someone must have covered her mouth and nose from behind, and then let his right hand fall naturally on the wound." Xiao Qi replied.

They have now returned to the palace and are carefully reviewing the cases previously investigated by the East Factory.

Although there was no special gain from this trip to the south, a mysterious person, Bizhu, was obtained.

If we find Bizhu, will we be able to uncover the secret of Ye Yu?

"If he was stabbed from behind, it means the murderer did not bring any drugs, and after the stabbing, blood must have stained his body. But the guards of the East Factory said that they did not find any bloody clothes. So I guess that the murderer was wearing the Bixia Feathered Robe at the time!" Ye Xiaoer analyzed calmly.

However, Xiao Qi looked at her with his head down, which seemed to mean that my good girl has grown up.

"Are you listening to me?" Ye Xiaoer waved her hand in front of his eyes.

I always feel that ever since he found his life on the cliff of Longqi Valley, he always likes to be dazed and distracted when I talk.

Yet, he heard everything in his heart, word for word.

"Perhaps, when the murderer stole the Bixia Feather Robe, it was to prevent the blood stains from getting on his body. After using it, the Bixia Feather Robe became part of the murder weapon, so this person must have seen the music score."

Ye Xiaoer nodded, so how did the feather clothes get lost? It was very suspicious.

"It seems we have to go to Yuan's Mansion..."

"Otherwise, I can go by myself. Or let Fanwei and others go for us." Xiao Qi hated Yuan Cang very much.

Although he has become better in recent years.

But the fact that he raised Zheng Meir at that time was still just yesterday.

He dared to provoke a woman who somewhat resembled his wife. This was something that could not be forgiven in any way!
Therefore, he didn't want Ye Xiaoer to have too much contact with that kid Yuan Cang.

But his obstruction had no effect.

Ye Xiaoer is a man of action.

She lifted her skirt and rode quickly to the home of the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Xiao Qi followed reluctantly.

Like a loyal guard, he never leaves you.

...Huangfu Yuer was eating the fruit pieces of the same size cut by the maids, while enjoying her personal maid Chunyan massaging her legs.

He glanced at the maids who were kneeling and trembling on the ground, and a look of fierce anger swept across his face.

"Look at you guys, you can't do anything right. I really don't know how you stayed by my side for so long. You couldn't even keep a dagger. That was the dagger bestowed upon me by my brother the Emperor! It can cut iron like mud, and it shines with cold light! And it's made of meteorites from outer space, stones from the fairyland. When you use it to cut meat, there's no fishy smell at all. But now, such a treasure is actually lost!"

So, when Huangfu Yu'er looked at the fragrant roasted lamb leg, she didn't have the slightest appetite at all. She just ate the fruit.

"Tell me, which one of you stole it? Sold it for money?"

Chun Xing and the housekeeper Ouyang, along with a group of maids who were in charge of the kitchen, and the cooks were all trembling with fear.

They have been with the princess for so long, how could they steal her things at will? Even if they dared to steal, no one would dare to take them.

This dagger is specially used by the princess to cut meat. Because the dagger is made of special materials, it is very expensive and precious, and the princess loves it very much.

Sometimes, even if the meat was not eaten, it would be placed at the bedside to ward off evil spirits, so it was also brought into the palace when the empress dowager celebrated her birthday.

Just like moving house, it took dozens of horses to finally pull all the boxes, big and small, into the palace.

But what about now? The Bixia Feathered Robe is lost, and the dagger is also lost.

Butler Ouyang wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve without leaving a trace. This princess had a well-known temper in the Ming Dynasty and was not someone that could be easily messed with.

They are also relatives of the emperor.

If they were really beaten and had some wounds on their bodies, no one would dare to ask.

Chun Xing lowered her head even lower. The feathered robe he had been guarding was missing, and the dagger was also lost. As the princess's personal maid, she was definitely responsible.

"What dagger?"

In the distance, a voice as loud as a deep valley came, immediately breaking the depressing atmosphere in the room.

Huangfu Yuer immediately became alert.

Wearing embroidered shoes with a flying crane holding a pearl, she kicked Chunyan away.

She patted her clothes which were wrinkled from lying on her side, straightened the hairpin that was tilted on her bun, and immediately ran to the door.

This sound is definitely not something that the damn Yuan Cang could make.

She would never mistake this voice...

That's the person I think about day and night!

That is the voice of Xiao Qi, the Duke of Protector of the Country who has the power to influence the life and death of the Ming Dynasty!

With great excitement, she rushed to the door in two steps, looking forward to it.

When I saw that familiar Junyan, my heart almost jumped out of my throat.

However, when he saw Ye Xiao'er following behind him, his heart started beating again.

"Isn't this the Lord Governor? Why are you here in my room so late at night? And you brought along the concubine who is no longer a concubine?"

"General Ye is no longer a concubine. But she is still my former wife, and she is also General Ye bestowed by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
