Chapter 172 Case Closed
Yingchu helped Mr. He feed the sniffers for a period of time, knowing that the Lingquan water is very attractive to the sniffers.In fact, almost all strange insects and beasts will like Lingquan water. They have stronger five senses than humans. Knowing that Lingquan water is a good thing, they will instinctively chase after it.

When Qi Changjin grabbed Yingchu's hand, Yingchu quietly dipped a little bit of spiritual spring water on his sleeve, Qi Changjin only felt a little strange, but didn't realize what it was.

The smelling worm sensed the breath of the spiritual spring water, so it crawled to Qi Changjin's feet, and wanted to crawl on him.

After the little bit of spiritual spring water on Qi Changjin's sleeve was gone, the sniffing insects took the next best thing and crawled towards Li Cangze, who also carried a trace of spiritual spring aura.

Li Cangze has always had the habit of carrying pills with him, just in case to save his life.The pill was refined with Mu Nuanyan's blood, and it naturally smelled like spiritual spring water. Although it was packed in a porcelain bottle, it couldn't hide the smell from the extremely sensitive sniffer.

Therefore, the smelling insects didn't distinguish them based on their breath at all, they were just attracted by the breath of the spiritual spring.

This was a coincidence designed by Yingchu, even Mr. He was taken aback, and the sniffer, who really thought he was a treasure, was domesticated by the little apprentice at some point.

But of course the truth cannot be told to Qi Changjin, Yingchu said with a smile: "I put a little bait on you, but you discovered it unexpectedly."

Qi Changjin's night-like black eyes fixedly looked at her: "What about Prince Chen? When did you put the bait on him?"

Ying Chu smiled.

Qi Changjin's eyes glided over her left ear, and his voice was so calm that no emotion could be heard: "Did Prince Chen take your earring?" Although it was a question, it was in an affirmative tone.

Yingchu suppressed her smile and said, "That's right, after I separated from Xun Feixing, I met Prince Chen by chance."

She hadn't told him the first time he'd asked her about the wound on her ear.

A shadow cast over Qi Changjin's heart, Yingchu had no personal affection for him, their marriage contract was just a transaction, so it was right that Yingchu didn't want to tell him some things.But he still couldn't help but feel a little anxious and angry.

Qi Changjin poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly to ease his inner emotions.

"If you encounter such a thing in the future, tell me," Qi Changjin said. Although he felt uncomfortable, he was more concerned about Yingchu's safety. "Prince Chen is rude to you, this is no small matter."

Li Cangze's performance today was indeed exhausted.Yingchu knew that his methods would only become more and more ruthless in the future, but this was her hatred, and she did not intend to let Qi Changjin intervene.

"You have to try to trust and rely on me more," Qi Changjin said, "We are going to get married soon, husband and wife share weal and woe, and I will not interfere with your freedom to do anything, but if you are in danger, remember to report to me. I ask for help."

Yingchu's eyes warmed up, and he said: "I just didn't think there was anything worth mentioning about meeting Prince Chen, so I didn't tell you. As for the murder case later, I didn't expect it." After that, you can't change anything if you say it or not.

Seemingly seeing what she had said, Qi Changjin said: "If you had told me about Cheng Mei's death, I would have immediately deduced who the murderer was, so I could adapt to the situation instead of just watching from the sidelines and letting you One has to figure out a way to deal with it.”

"You have already helped me," Yingchu said, "If someone finds out that I am doing something wrong and exposes me on the spot, I will be doomed."

Qi Changjin was obviously not comforted by her, he looked at Yingchu calmly but persistently.

Yingchu smiled compromisingly and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Qi, if you encounter an uncontrollable danger, you don't need to tell me, I will ask you for help unceremoniously." She paused, and said jokingly, "It's like My marriage, didn't I have the cheek to force you to marry me?"

Qi Changjin had an obvious smile on his perennially unchanged face, and he accepted Yingchu's words.

Yingchu was dazzled by Qi Changjin's smile, and felt that the garden full of plum blossoms he saw today was not as good as the snow and ice that the person in front of him had just melted at the moment.

Yingchu lowered her eyes and looked out of the window in a disguised manner, only to realize that she had already reached the gate of Huafu.It's just that they kept talking, and the carriage was driving very steadily, so she didn't notice that the carriage had stopped.

"I'm here, thank you Mr. Qi for sending you off." Yingchu was a little shy, and didn't know how long the carriage had been parked at the door.

"The seventh day of the next month is my mother's death day," Qi Changjin said, "I want to take you to worship my mother."

Yingchu nodded without thinking, "Okay!" Her aunt loved her very much since she was a child, but she hasn't offered a stick of incense to her aunt until now.

Yingchu said goodbye to him, and after getting off the carriage, she stood at the door and watched the carriage go away before turning around and entering the mansion.

The old lady was very concerned about today's banquet, so as soon as Yingchu arrived in the backyard, she went straight to Rongxin Garden.

Yingchu talked about Cheng Mei's death, omitting the fact that Prince Chen was the murderer, and exaggerated the danger.

The old lady was startled when she heard this, and she almost didn't faint, she said repeatedly: "How could such a thing happen! This murderer is so vicious, he actually murdered and set the blame on you! Thanks to Yingchu, you are clever, otherwise we will all be in disaster It's coming!"

Yingchu also had a frightened expression on his face, and said, "Grandmother, I just thought that the last time my elder sister went to the palace and was punished by the empress dowager, it was already dangerous enough. Dangerous thing. I was able to escape this time, it was a fluke, if there is another time, maybe I will be folded in the palace."

"Don't talk nonsense, there will never be a next time!" The old lady hurriedly said, "Ying Chufu has a great destiny, after a disaster, there must be a future blessing!"

She silently prayed a few times to various gods and Buddhas in her heart, and gained a deeper understanding of the dangers of the palace in her heart, completely dispelling the idea of ​​letting Yingchu climb the dragon and the phoenix.It is too dangerous in the palace, so it is reasonable for Yingchu to marry General Qi honestly.

Seeing that the old lady gave up the unrealistic idea, Yingchu smiled in her heart, and after talking to the old lady for a few more words, she got tired of excuses and went back to Yiqingyuan.

After a few days, the case of Cheng Mei's death was closed.

The one who pleaded guilty was a big inner guard, who was said to be coveting Cheng Mei's beauty, sneaked into the Plum Garden, took advantage of Cheng Mei's order, and attacked her, and then was smashed by Prince Chen and fled.The earring in Cheng Mei's hand was picked up by him, and he thought it was very beautiful, so he took it to please Cheng Mei.But Cheng Mei was ashamed and embarrassed because her reputation was destroyed, so she jumped into a well and committed suicide.

Although these remarks seemed reasonable, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that the Ouchi guard was to blame.

Cheng Ge was always dissatisfied, but he knew that it was impossible for Prince Chen to pay for his life, so he found fault with other things, joined forces with many ministers to participate in the performance of Prince Chen, and Emperor Ming selected some of them to severely punish Prince Chen, which really caused him a lot of losses .
