Chapter 234 Investigating the Cause of Death
Ruchen died under the strict surveillance of the guards, which shocked Emperor Yanxi all of a sudden. The guards sent to watch over Ruchen were all palace guards, which ruled out the possibility of Wei Guo spying. "How is the prince?" Emperor Yanxi was more concerned about what the prince would do to Ruchen's death, and whether the prince would be overly sad after experiencing such a blow.

"At first the prince was in great grief, holding his side concubine's body and refused to let go. Under the consolation of the humble minister, he was temporarily stable, but the prince's mood was very unstable." Lin Muyuan replied, this was under the watchful eyes of everyone. It's unbelievable that he died.

Emperor Yanxi's face was serious, he summoned Shen Shihua, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to investigate Ruchen's death thoroughly, it is very likely that the news leaked, and Wei Guo secretly killed people to silence the news.After asking Shen Shihua to investigate this matter, Emperor Yanxi also came to the Crown Prince's East Palace. He was worried about whether the Crown Prince would be able to recover from such a catastrophe.

At the East Palace, the prince was in a daze after grief, Ruchen's body was taken down, and he also returned to his room, just sitting in a daze, as if he still couldn't recover from the grief of losing Ruchen. Come on.

"His Royal Highness, the emperor is here!" the personal eunuch reported in a low voice.

The crown prince raised his head and saw Emperor Yanxi coming, he stood up, stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen my father!"

"Excuse me, the thing has already happened, what's the use of being sad, the most important thing is to find out the murderer." Ruchen died, then, there is no way to get to the bottom of it, Emperor Yanxi looked at his son's obviously sad expression look, and comforted me.

"Father!" The prince choked up, a living person disappeared right under his nose, and it was his beloved woman and his unborn child. "Father, who is it, who is going to kill Ruchen?" He also couldn't figure out why Ruchen would still be killed under heavy guard.

"I heard that the last person she saw was you, did she say anything?" Emperor Yanxi asked.

The crown prince nodded, looked at Emperor Yanxi and replied: "Father, my son rushed over when he heard Ruchen's screams, and only saw blood stains on the ground. Ruchen must have been poisoned. She was lying on the ground. In my son's arms, a person's name was said, Shen Qing, father, this person must be the murderer, you must find out the murderer!" After seeing Emperor Yanxi, the crown prince regained his strength a little bit, like dust. The scene of falling in the blood stains lingered in his mind and refused to let go, making his face as pale as losing blood.

"Shen Qing?" Emperor Yanxi frowned slightly, he didn't have any clue for a while. "Come here, tell Shen Shihua to check all the guards in the palace, eunuchs and maids, don't let them go, and see if there is someone named Shen Qing!" Emperor Yanxi ordered immediately.

Whether it is the prince or Emperor Yanxi, when they hear these two words, they will never be associated with Shen Qingzi. After all, these two words sound like a man's name, and, for Emperor Yanxi and the prince Well, Shen Qingzi was just one of the many ladies from aristocratic families who passed by in a flash.Emperor Yanxi couldn't bear to see the crown prince's sorrow, so he patted the crown prince on the shoulder and said: "The matter has come to this point, grief is useless, I will definitely find out the truth, Cheng'er, you are the crown prince of Xia, be strong a little!"

The prince nodded with difficulty, how could it be so easy to say.

Ruchen's sudden sudden death cannot be concealed, especially since the imperial guards are investigating any suspicious persons in the palace. Soon, everyone will know about the assassination of the crown prince and side concubine.

Shen Shihua wanted to investigate Ruchen's death, but he wanted to find out how Ruchen died. Knowing that the crown prince's side concubine died suddenly after drinking the anti-fetal medicine, he also found it in the Imperial Hospital, but the anti-fetal medicine was checked by other doctors. The dregs of the medicine are not poisonous at all, even if it is so, even the doctor will still be interrogated.

The situation in the palace is even more advanced. Originally, the investigation of Weiguo's detailed work, and now the investigation of the death of the crown prince's side concubine, under such strictness, no matter whether it is Ji Wuye's people or Weiguo's hidden spies, it will not be revealed. The news went outside the palace.

Shen Qingzi didn't dare to take risks. She had already decided to disappear suddenly in the dead of night. Since she wanted to leave, she had to do so quickly. In a day and a half, no one knew what would happen.It's just that, leaving like this, I'm afraid it will be bad for Qiuyue and the others!Shen Qingzi thought for a while, and then she came up with a countermeasure. She was not going to bring anything, but instead left a note. She knew Fang Zhuoyun's handwriting very well. In this haste, she just left a few words , obviously to make people think that she was taken away by Fang Zhuoyun.

When the moon was dark and the wind was high, Shen Qingzi lit the incense in her house, only brought along her clothes, and sneaked out of Shen's house with Lin Yan, Kong Yue, without anyone noticing.Naturally, she went to Ji Wuye's place, and she asked Kong Yue to tell Ji Wuye about this earlier.

Ji Wuye is already able to get out of bed, the scabs on the wound have faded, and it is no problem to just walk around normally.He didn't wait for Shen Qingzi, and he didn't dare to sleep even when it was late at night. Hearing that the front yard wanted to move, he even went out to meet him personally. When he saw Shen Qingzi and the three of them, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to hold him back. Shen Qingzi said with her hand: "You are finally here."

Shen Qingzi nodded. From now on, she will no longer be able to walk around the capital in the open, and she will no longer be able to meet Ji Ruzhang, nor will she be able to visit Ji's house to see her mother. "It's so late, don't you rest yet?"

Ji Wuye just dragged Shen Qingzi to the prepared room, he naturally arranged for Shen Qingzi's room to be next to his own. "I don't know what to do when something like this happened suddenly. The palace hasn't sent any news for a few days, so there's nothing you can do to make you disappear." Ji Wuye knew that this had nothing to do with Shen Qingzi's previous arrangement. There were conflicts, but he still comforted him that the most important thing is that people are fine.

"Yundi told me that the atmosphere in the palace was tense, and that she was investigating the affairs of Wei Guo's spies, and Ruchen was also suspected of being Wei Guo's spy. It would be very difficult to spread the news at this time." Shen Qingzi said, if it wasn't the case, she would It is not possible to avoid it overnight.

"Don't talk so much, let's rest early, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Ji Wuye said softly because he didn't want Shen Qingzi to worry too much.

Shen Qingzi could only nod her head, no matter what, she came out, and if someone suspected her, then she would have been exposed, so no matter what, she couldn't go back to Shen's house.

When Yundi returned to the palace, she knew that Ruchen was dead, but no one came to her for a while, so she guessed that Ruchen hadn't come to expose her in a hurry.However, on the second day, Shen Shihua, the commander of the Yulin Army, still came to her. Although he didn't come to question her, he obviously had the intention of probing.

"Dr. Yundi accompanied the imperial physician to treat the crown prince and concubine the day before yesterday!" Shen Shihua was still very polite, after all, even His Majesty was rescued by this doctor Yundi.

Yundi nodded, and replied without concealment: "Yes, that's true. I also checked the pulse for the prince and concubine. The pulse is stable and there is nothing serious."

"I don't know if Dr. Yundi has noticed other inappropriate things?" Shen Shihua asked, also observing Yundi. At present, there are no suspects at all. There are five guards and eunuchs in the palace named Shen Qing, including homophonic ones. , but after checking, there is no possibility of any participation at all.

Yun Di shook her head and said, "I only went with Imperial Physician Lian, and didn't pay attention to anything else."

For a while, Shen Shihua also failed to notice anything, and after asking a few random questions, he also left.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Yanxi, Lin Muyuan, and Ji Yunfeng were all there, because Ji Yunfeng started to investigate Ruchen after he told about Wei Qingyin, but Ruchen died not long after, which made Emperor Yanxi always have a dark cloud in his heart Press the same.

"The prince said that Ruchen said the word Shen Qing before he died, but Shen Shihua checked everyone in the palace, and there was no suspicion." Emperor Yanxi said, "What do you two think?" Wei Guoxi did not publicize the matter , The situation like being taken the lead made Emperor Yanxi very heavy. Today, even the eunuchs around him were sent away, and there were only three monarchs and ministers in the entire imperial study.

Lin Muyuan murmured the word Shen Qing, but didn't have a clue for a moment.Ji Yunfeng's heart is like a bright mirror, I'm afraid it's not Shen Qing who is talking about!But can he say it?
"Ji Yunfeng, what did you think of?" Emperor Yanxi happened to be looking at Ji Yunfeng, and caught Ji Yunfeng's subtle and invisible expression.

Ji Yunfeng was troubled in his heart, but he could only say: "Perhaps, what Ruchen wanted to say, Shen Qing might not have said everything!" Ji Yunfeng said, if Shen Qingzi was found, there was nothing he could do.

"It's also possible, it's possible that she didn't finish her sentence!" Lin Muyuan also agreed.

"I suspect that I also have eyeliner by my side. Otherwise, how could we go to investigate the things that Weiguo has done carefully, and people will be silenced." Emperor Yanxi said, "I suspect that the people of Weiguo have been planning for many years!"

"Your majesty, don't worry, the secret guards will investigate the secret work of the state of Wei, and there will be results." Lin Muyuan said. The secret guards directly belonging to the emperor are all dead men, and they are more reliable than the guards in the palace.

"What I'm worried about is that I don't have time to wait until the day when the truth comes out!" Emperor Yanxi said worriedly.

Lin Muyuan's heart sank, but that Li Lanning still didn't show up to look for him, which made him a little worried. "If Li Lanning delays on purpose, it's probably a conspiracy." Lin Muyuan pondered, "Master Ji, at this time, it's time for your family to step in!"

In Ji Yunfeng's heart, he resented Lin Muyuan's bad idea and Shen Qingzi's recklessness. He felt that Emperor Yanxi's eyes were on him, and his scalp turned cold.Gritting his teeth, Ji Yunfeng said: "The news can be spread, but please don't touch her!" He didn't dare to disobey Emperor Yanxi because he was afraid that the emperor would be angry and blood would flow like a river.

Emperor Yanxi opened his mouth and said: "Forget it, Grand Tutor, go and spread the word that Li Qing's widow is still alive, leading Li Lanning!"

Ji Yunfeng's heart was heavy, but he could only remain silent, Shen Qingzi, Shen Qingzi, if you want to save the emperor, then hurry up!
