Chapter 85
Mu Qingwan looked at Xiao Qi carefully again, but felt that this person was different from what Lingniang had said. Xiao Qi gave him the feeling that he was overplaying. Although his eyes were loose, they did not lack the strength of elites. , it seems that this is also a character not to be underestimated.

When Xiao Qi heard the eldest princess asking her, the bohemian smile on his face deepened a bit, and his voice was lazily and carelessly: "Miss Mu's words are indeed true, just now I got a little drunk from drinking, so I stayed in the Resting in the peach blossom grove, seeing this young lady taking her maid to enjoy the flowers, this apprentice came out from nowhere, speaking vulgarly and obscenely, and intending to enchant Miss Mu's maid with drugs, so I shot Only by helping each other can a disaster be avoided.”

With Xiao Qi's testimony, this Zhang Liu's lie was exposed, Mo Zhuang and Man Yue breathed a sigh of relief, Mu Qingwan looked at Xiao Qi, but saw Xiao Qi gave her a meaningful look.

The eldest princess snorted coldly when she heard the words: "People who behave like this are really hateful, come here, lock this person up in this palace, and send him to the government later!"

"Yes." The attendant at the back replied, and stepped forward to escort Zhang Liu to take him down.

However, before the attendant's hand touched Zhang Liu, Zhang Liu's face was blue and purple, his mouth was constantly spitting out white foam, his eyes were bloodshot, and he pointed at Xiao Qi with staring eyes: "You, you... pour... poison... ..." Before he could finish his sentence, he had already lost his breath.

"what!"

With such symptoms, the ladies present were a little timid and exclaimed in shock.

Seeing this situation, the eldest princess changed her face, then looked at Xiao Qi with cold eyes, and said sharply: "Prince Xiao, what is the purpose of you coming to my mansion with a poison in your body? Hidden poison, who do you want to murder?"

This crime is serious.

A cold look flashed across Xiao Qi's eyes, "Eldest Princess knows clearly, I did hurt him, but I did not poison him either!"

"That's enough. This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated. As a princess of a country and a brother of His Majesty, I naturally want to think about Jiangshan Sheji. Come here and invite Prince Xiao down. Tell the emperor about this matter. We need to investigate thoroughly!"

Such a turn of events caught people by surprise.

But Mu Qingwan felt that this matter was strange, she felt that Xiao Qi didn't need to poison, and it was still in this kind of place, the eldest princess's mansion, wouldn't poisoning cause trouble for herself?

Thinking of this, Mu Qingwan carefully looked at Zhang Liu who had died on the ground, and saw that his face was only bruised and purple, but the skin on his hands hadn't changed at all.

This kind of poison does not seem to be highly poisonous.

The eldest princess' attendant was about to invite Xiao Qi to go down, when Mu Qingwan said: "I have something to say, please let the eldest princess speak."

The eldest princess looked at Mu Qingwan with a cold face, and her voice was also cold: "What do you want to say?"

"The courtier has a little knowledge of the art of Qi and Huang, and also knows some poisons. The cause of Zhang Liu's death is a bit strange."

As Mu Qingwan said, she walked slowly to the side of Zhang Liu's body, took the hairpin from her head and pierced the skin on Zhang Liu's arm, and black blood came out immediately.

Mu Qingwan said: "It is true that Zhang Liu was injured by Prince Xiao. From the time Prince Xiao injured him to Zhang Liu's death from poisoning, it did not take more than a quarter of an hour. If such a short period of time can cause him to die of anger, only It is highly poisonous. But the onset of the poison is fast, and it is impossible for the blood in the whole body to turn black in an instant, but this person's blood has already turned black, which means that he has been poisoned before that, and his The drug on the whip contains a small amount of antidote that inhibits this poison and can delay the onset of toxicity."

Hearing what Mu Qingwan said, the Eldest Princess' face softened a bit, but she was aroused by Mu Qingwan: "Then you mean, this poison has nothing to do with Prince Xiao?"

"It's possible, and very likely."

Mu Qingwan didn't say anything dead, they are in the forensic profession, and they won't make a conclusion until they have conclusive evidence. This series of rhetoric is just her speculation now.

"Then what method do you use to prove that this matter has nothing to do with Prince Xiao?" the eldest princess raised her eyebrows and asked.

Mu Qingwan thought for a while, then glanced at Chu Zhiyan, and said: "If the eldest princess trusts the minister, the minister is willing to investigate this matter for the eldest princess, but the minister speaks lightly and hopes that the son can help the minister. "

This matter is related to the proton of the enemy country. If one is not careful, it will definitely lose his head. Only by finding an absolute backer can we avoid walking on thin ice.

After Mu Qingwan finished speaking, before the eldest princess could speak, Chu Zhiyan said: "Auntie, my nephew thinks Miss Mu's suggestion is good, and this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated. In this way, not only can I give an explanation to the emperor, but also to my aunt. , can also give the emperor of Xiliao an explanation."

What Chu Zhiyan said was obviously protecting Mu Qingwan.

The eldest princess cast a sideways glance at Chu Zhiyan, her nephew had already said so, she couldn't do anything to save Chu Zhiyan's face, and said: "Okay, I agree with you, but Miss Mu, this matter The matter is also for you, if it is done well, it will be an offense to yourself, if it is not done well, then..."

"Your servant understands, thank you Eldest Princess for your righteousness." Mu Qingwan leaned over to thank her.

"Okay, what request do you have, as long as it is reasonable, just ask it. I will give you a three-day deadline. After three days, if you can't find out, Miss Mu, you will have to pay the due price for your recklessness." As the princess spoke, a gleam flashed in her eyes.

"Yes."

"This Palace is also tired. If you still want to continue enjoying the flowers, then you can stay at the Princess Mansion to enjoy the flowers. If you are tired, you can go back home first."

"Yes." Everyone saluted and responded.

Mu Qingwan didn't stand up until the eldest princess was far away, and looked down at the corpse on the ground for a few times, a gloomy look flashed in her eyes.

Ladies and family members, seeing that the Eldest Princess is gone, naturally they will not stay any longer. There is still a dead person here, how unlucky it is!

Soon, all the people in Taohualin dispersed, and only Mu Qingwan, Chu Zhiyan, Xiao Qi, and that noble young man were left behind.

"This Miss Mu is really courageous and insightful, which is really rare." The one who spoke was the expensively dressed young man.

Mu Qingwan glanced at him, and the other party's eyes were shining brightly.

Chu Zhiyan turned his body slightly, blocking the man's gaze from looking at Mu Qingwan, and said indifferently: "The eldest princess ordered me to investigate the case, but the third prince will not leave, and also wants to investigate with me?"

Mu Qingwan raised her eyebrows upon hearing Chu Zhiyan's address. It turned out that this man was Chu Yueze, the third prince born of Concubine Gong Gui.

Chu Yueze raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, with a look of leisure: "Okay, why not?"

Mu Qingwan didn't have time to listen to their gossip. You know, the climate is comfortable now, and the corpses are stored for a very short time. If they continue to listen to the two of them gossip, the clues left on the corpse will be interrupted.
