Chapter 518 Murder of the Prince
But after tidying up inside and out, nothing suspicious was found.

When Wei Qing went to the prince's dormitory, all the furnishings used in it had never been moved.

Because all the palace servants who served in the East Palace in the past are no longer in the palace. They are either executed or buried with them, and some of them are left behind or guarded by the prince for life until he dies. Almost none of them can survive alone after the prince's death.

The old man in the palace who dealt with the prince's death probably pointed to the place where the prince hanged himself, and Wei Qing stood below, looking up at the roof beam.

When cleaning up and down the palace, the most unlikely thing to sweep is this beam.

Even if someone wanted to erase the evidence afterwards, they would never think of the beams coming up.That above should be the most complete site preserved.

Then Wei Qing asked someone to bring the ladder.

She climbed up the beam on the ladder, and at a glance, the beam was covered with dust.And through the thickness of the dust on the beams and the traces of wear and tear, Wei Qing determined the exact location where the prince hanged himself.

The dust on one part of the beam is slightly thinner than that on the side.And the edges and corners have traces of wear.

After all, the crown prince has a certain weight, and the beams of the East Palace have not been moved for many years. When a heavy object suddenly loads, although the white silk will not leave a lot of wear marks on the beams, it can grind the sharp edges and corners on both sides to smooth and round.

However, the thin gray mark left is a very regular square strip, which should be the width of the white silk.

Wei Qing frowned, and saw something was wrong at a glance.

As she said it, the people below wrote it down.

If the crown prince took the initiative to hang himself here, the gray marks and rounded edges would never be so regular.Because people are alive, it is the instinct of the body to struggle hard before dying. As long as you struggle, the white silk will shake, and the white silk will shake, and the traces will be chaotic.

But judging from the neat marks, the prince didn't struggle at all.Unless, before being hung up, he was already dead.

All the servants in the house looked serious.

It is now certain that His Royal Highness did not hang himself, but was very likely to be murdered, and then hanged himself in disguise.

This is undoubtedly a big step forward in the investigation of this case.

The palace servants of the inner guard hurried to report to the emperor.

Wei Qing came down from the beam, washed the ashes off his hands, and glanced at the sky outside.

At this time, Xie Yin finished his morning class and was waiting for Wei Qing to come out outside the East Palace.

Wei Qing looked at him standing under the scorching sun, looking up at the lintel of the East Palace with his head up, his eyes were black and white and very quiet.

Seeing her, Xie Yin asked directly: "You found out, was my father killed?"

The latest news should not be told to a child yet, but he didn't show any surprise on his face, and he probably already thought so in his heart.

This Xie Yin's thoughtfulness is beyond the reach of others.

Wei Qing said: "The grandson of the emperor has finished school, he should go back to his palace to rest, in order to cope with the lessons assigned by the master in the afternoon."

Xie Yin stopped asking, and said, "I'm just on the way, come and have a look."

The place where he temporarily lives is not far from the East Palace. After all, after the East Palace is over and repaired, he will move here.

Then Weiqing sent him back to the palace where he lived.

Xie Yin said: "Aunt Huang went to the imperial mausoleum today, and waited for Imperial Physician Wei at the gate of the palace for a while, and Yuemo wanted Imperial Physician Wei to send her off."

Wei Qing said: "Thank you, the eldest grandson of the emperor, for telling me."

Xie Yin said: "She saved Uncle Miao Jin's life, I regard her as my aunt."

Wei Qing said solemnly: "Please remember, the grandson of the emperor, that Miao Jin is a minister, and you can no longer call him an uncle."

Xie Yin said: "I remember."

Wei Qingcai couldn't help but laugh: "Also, Princess Jingyi is the aunt of the eldest grandson of the emperor." After a pause, he said with deep meaning, "She likes Miao Jin."

Those who like Miao Jin will not harm Miao Jin.Then he will like it too.

The emperor arranged Xie Yin's palace school very tightly, and he had to go to the imperial school to study in the morning and afternoon.But he wasn't impetuous at all, and he didn't show a half-weary look, so he was deeply liked by the Taifu.

Of course, the emperor's attitude towards Xie Yin was just like a kind grandfather loving his grandson in the first few days, but then it gradually became stricter, and when he was worried about him, he rarely even cared about him for a few days. I won't ask a question or two.

It's as if the emperor doesn't feel so fresh once the freshness wears off.

Xie Yin is so transparent, how could he not feel it.

But the emperor never stopped Xie Yin from communicating with Wei Qing and Jin Yiwei.

Xie Yin suddenly said: "Doctor Wei, are the feelings of the royal family so cold?"

Wei Qing guessed what he was thinking, and said: "Sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not be true, and the love of an emperor may not be lucky. Because there are too many people who want to be loved by him. If he focuses on one person, others will be jealous. Do you understand?"

Xie Yin nodded with a half understanding.

Wei Qing said again: "The emperor pays less attention to you, and then others will pay less attention to you, so you can be more comfortable and safer. You just need to study hard, don't ask you to place high hopes on you It’s okay to be disappointed.”

This time Xie Yin understood completely, and his uncertain eyes became firm again.

After Wei Qing's shift in the afternoon, he didn't want to meet Su Yu who was also in the palace, and it seemed that he was going in the direction of Taixue.

Wei Qing frowned, and subconsciously moved towards Taixue.

At this time, it happened that Xie Yin graduated from Taixue.Su Yu was standing at the door, wearing a crimson official robe, standing tall and tall under the shade of a tree, with handsome and picturesque eyes.

Seeing Xie Yin coming out, he raised his hand in salute.

Xie Yin saw the color and brocade pattern of his official robe and knew that only the first-rank civil servants in the court were worthy of wearing such an official robe.

And the head of the ministers in the court is none other than the chief assistant.

Su Yuwen said in a warm voice, "See Your Highness Changsun."

Xie Yin said: "The first assistant doesn't need to be too polite."

Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, then straightened his body, and said, "Your Highness is out of school?"

Xie Yin nodded and said, "What is the role of the first assistant?"

Su Yu said: "Going to the palace to face the saint, it's just some trivial matters."

After a few quick words, Wei Qing arrived.As soon as he saw Wei Qing, Xie Yin left Su Yu and walked towards her.

Su Yu turned slightly sideways and looked at Wei Qing and Xie Yin with a very indifferent expression on his face.

Wei Qing was obviously very wary of him, and asked the palace servants and Jin Yiwei to escort Xie Yin back to his palace.

Su Yu kept watching Xie Yin's back as he walked away, then turned to look at Wei Qing, smiled lightly, and said, "What a smart child."

Wei Qing walked past him and said, "Really, how is it compared to the third prince?"

Su Yu said: "It's better than worse."

Wei Qing curled his lips coldly, and said: "If the chief assistant wants to take advantage of the eldest grandson of the emperor, I advise you to stop as soon as possible."

Su Yu squinted her eyes and sighed, "I just thought, there is no time to make a move."
