An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Chapter 64: The real murderer

Views:

Ji Yue was slightly surprised: "You know?"

As soon as Wei Lian saw Ji Yue's reaction, he knew that he also knew who the real murderer was.

The dark guard beside the King of Qin is not a wine bag and rice bag, and Ji Yue himself is not a person who is easy to fool, so why can't he find a murderer who killed Princess Chonghua.

When the female medical officer handed over the letters burned in the incense burner to Wei Lian, Wei Lian considered the stakes in all aspects of the incident.

Princess Chonghua was poisoned, and the one who reacted the most was Prince Chen, Huyan Kemu. Huyan Kemu has always been hostile to Wei Lian, and he also has a heart for Princess Chonghua, which is obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. When Princess Chonghua died, Huyan Kemu would definitely fight for this and question Wei Lian, who was from Chu, so even the state of Chu could not get rid of it.

Later, it was revealed that Princess Chonghua was poisoned by Chi Yan, and directly pulled Liang Guo into the water. Liang Guo and Chen Guo had a feud, Huyan Kemu quickly shifted his target and aimed at Liang Guo, which made the situation even more chaotic.

The real culprit determined Huyan Kemu's psychology, which made him jump so hard. Later, the kumiss incident was introduced, and Huyan Kemu was beaten as the murderer.

And because Liang and Chu countries were suspicious, they would definitely not raise any objection to whether the real murderer was Huyan Kemu. It was important for Mingzhe to protect himself and clear his suspicions. Whether Chen Guo was wronged had nothing to do with them.

Chen Guo can only eat this dumb loss.

But the real culprit also knew that such an arrangement could make Liang and Chu shut up, but not King Qin. He was afraid that the King of Qin would continue to investigate the real murderer secretly, so he left another backer.

— Letters of Yerudan.

If a complete letter is found in the Ningyue Building, it is obviously framed and blamed. It is impossible for someone who can lay out such a chain plan to be so careless. But it was a burnt page with only a few words left, but it made people think that this was the real murderer.

Princess Chonghua lost her innocence, and it happened that Yeludan's whereabouts on the same day became a mystery. At noon, she returned to Yulong Pavilion to bathe and change clothes. It was almost convinced that he was the perpetrator.

Yeludan and Huyan Kemu fought in the palace to compete for Myerna, which is enough to show that it is not impossible for Yeludan to sully Princess Chonghua.

As a result, among the seven kingdoms, Chu, Lu, Liang, and Chen were all involved in the whirlpool, and the loss of a princess from the State of Yan was even more tragic. offend everyone.

In the middle of the game, everyone is counted.

There is only one person who stays out of the matter from beginning to end, watching the fire from the other side, and is innocent.

Watching the snipe and mussels compete, sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The Prince Xia, who kept a low profile and rarely showed up, was Wen Heng.

Of course everything requires evidence. Although the least flawed are often the most suspicious, it is not possible to give people such a big hat for no reason.

Wei Lian suspects that Wen Heng is not without basis.

In any case, Chi Yan in kumiss can be proven to be slander after the fact. Yang Yang had no problem drinking the kumiss, which means that Chi Yan in the kumiss was released after Princess Chonghua's accident, in order to frame Chen Guo.

When Princess Chonghua had an accident, almost everyone gathered in the Ningyue Building, only one said that he didn't want to get involved and chose to leave.

It is Prince Xia Wen Heng.

When everyone was in the Ningyue Building, Wen Heng was the only one who had time to go to the imperial kitchen and put Chi Yan's poison in the kumiss.

There is also a possibility that he is a dignified prince, and the poisoning does not necessarily need to be done in person. But if you think about it from another perspective, this matter is extremely dangerous. Once it is discovered, Xia Guo will definitely not be able to bear the anger of Qin Guo, and Wei Lian will not rest assured that it will be handled by others.

What is even more interesting is that this Prince Heng is said to have no knowledge of martial arts, but he has profound attainments in poetry, calligraphy and painting. Wei Lian just met him face to face, but noticed that Wen Heng had a thin cocoon of martial arts on the tiger's mouth in the palm of his hand, his footsteps were extremely vain, and it was difficult to hide his steady breath.

They are also good players who pretend to be weak, how could Wei Lian not see that this is a peer.

It's not that the other party pretended not to be good, but that Wei Lian's martial arts was higher, so he could detect a little clue.

However, this is only the final proof of the accident. Wei Lian has found many doubts before this.

After the letterhead incident came out, Yeludan became the most suspect.

Since Yeludan was taking a shower and changing clothes, Wei Lian then sent someone to inquire about the clothes washing bureau, and learned that Yulong Pavilion did not send a change of clothes to the clothes washing bureau.

Where did the changed clothes go? Why not send it to wash? Is there anything unseen

Wei Lian followed the vine, and continued to investigate secretly along the palace servants who were serving at Yulong Pavilion. Yeludan can guarantee that he will not reveal his flaws, but he cannot guarantee that the palace servants around him will not reveal any flaws. He is in the Qin state, and he does not dare to kill people at will.

Soon, Wei Lian learned from a trembling little palace maid that Yeludan was disheveled when he came back from outside that day.

Seeing the mottled marks on the clothes, the little palace maid thought that Yeludan was lucky to be a palace maid in the palace. She never expected to have a relationship with Princess Chonghua. But she didn't burn the clothes, but seeing that the clothes were valuable, she became selfish and wanted to wash them and sell them for some money.

Wei Lian heard from Wei Lian before he even thought about it and made no move, and he was so frightened that he told everything.

Wei Lian ordered people to present the clothes, but found traces of bone-eroding incense on the clothes.

Ecstasy Bone Ecstasy is a strong aphrodisiac.

According to what the palace maid said, Yeludan looked horrified when he came back.

Obviously, he did defile Princess Chonghua, but not of his own accord. A prince, he is not so anxious that he doesn't even want his life.

Just by the incense of the bones on the clothes, it can be concluded that Yeludan is also in someone else's scheme.

After eliminating the suspicion of Yeludan, the most suspicious person became Prince Xia who was not involved from beginning to end.

Wei Lian visited Ningyue Tower that night and saw that there was something strange in Li Chonghua's eyes, so he came up with a guess.

There were no suspicious green marks on Li Chonghua's skin, most of them were traces of love, which also made everyone think that Li Chonghua was poisoned from the mouth.

But Wei Lian knew that Chi Yan could be ingested by the eyes.

Myerna only checked Li Chonghua's wrist that day, but did not look at her eyes. But Imperial Doctor Xu, who had seen Li Chonghua's eyes, did not understand Chi Yan's poison.

If Li Chonghua was poisoned from the eyes, it would be meaningless to investigate the whereabouts of everyone on that day, and the two days before should also be investigated together.

Wei Lian checked the whereabouts of everyone two days ago, and then learned that Wen Heng had gone out two days ago.

This is where things come together.

Two days before Li Chonghua's death, at Qinyuan Lake, he slandered Wei Lian for pushing her into the water.

No one knew who Li Chonghua met after Wei Lian and the others left.

Wei Lian deduced that it was very likely that Wen Heng went out that day and encountered Princess Chonghua crying by the lake.

It was from that time that the poison entered the eyes of Princess Chonghua.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain how a poison can get in the eyes.

It was said that Wen Heng had a temporary intention because the traces of Wen Heng's going out that day could be found, indicating that he did not expect to meet Princess Chonghua after going out, and he did not cover up his whereabouts that day. Two days later, Changsheng reported that Wen Heng hadn't gone out all day. In fact, Wen Heng had definitely gone out. It could be seen that Wen Heng had intentionally concealed his whereabouts at that time and had done a good job of proving his alibi.

There is no need to go into the matter of carrying poison with you. The royal family must always have means to save their lives.

After poisoning Princess Chonghua, Wen Heng set up a series of big plans. He put bone incense on Yerudan's clothes and designed it to defile Princess Chonghua. After Yeludan sobered up, he definitely didn't dare to speak out. He was undoubtedly courting death for defilement of the people dedicated to the King of Qin. Therefore, Yeludan hurriedly fled back to Yulong Pavilion to change clothes and bathe, and ordered the clothes to be destroyed and destroyed, so that the matter of the soul-eating fragrance under Wen Heng could be hidden from the sky.

Princess Chonghua fell into a coma after being humiliated, and Wen Heng took this opportunity to sneak into the Ningyue Building and put the so-called fragmented envelope in the incense burner, further expanding the suspicion of Yeludan.

In terms of geographical location, the Shenshui Dock where Xia Guo lived was just behind the Ningyue Building, and Wen Heng hid the fact that he knew martial arts.

Later, when Princess Chonghua woke up, she must not have dared to say it in the first place. The value of her coming is to be with her. If there is no innocence, she will be the first to die.

Therefore, she put on her clothes and pretended to have nothing to do with her meals and medicines.

After the East Window Incident, everyone gathered in Ningyuelou to suspect each other. The real murderer, Wen Heng, had already gone to the imperial kitchen to poison the kumiss.

When Yeludan and Huyan Kemu fought over Myerna, the envoys of Xia had arrived in Qin, and Wen Heng watched from the sidelines and learned of their lustful nature, and then made a series of plans.

Pulling Chen, Liang, Lu, and Chu Tongtong into the water, and calculating everyone's psychology, making everyone speechless, playing everyone with applause.

Wen Heng took every step of the way, and this game of chess can be described as subtle.

But he has done all kinds of calculations, and he has calculated the thoughts and thoughts of every big man, but he has missed the uncontrollableness of the little ones.

If it wasn't for Yangyang drinking kumiss, Wei Lian would not have completely ruled out Chen Guo's suspicion.

If it wasn't for the maid who didn't burn the clothes out of selfishness, Wei Lian wouldn't have found the bone-eroding incense on the clothes, so he knew that Yeludan was also being plotted.

It will not... let the most hidden Xia Kingdom surface.

One hundred secrets and one sparse, after all, the whole game is lost.

Wei Lian summed up the cause and effect, covered up some things he couldn't say, and told Ji Yue the rest.

After hearing this, Ji Yue kissed his forehead: "Smart."

"Stop talking about these things." Wei Lian glanced at him, "You really don't care?"

Ji Yue is not a person to be calculated by others.

"Gu knows it's him, Gu also knows that he wants to disturb the six countries, so that the Xia country can survive." Ji Yue chuckled, "Except for the capital of the Xia country, all the rest of the country belongs to my Daqin, and it has long been in the state of subjugation. On the edge. Wen Heng is not bad, but unfortunately he can't save Xia Guo's downfall."

"Chen Guo has been secretly moving frequently in recent years, and he has long been restless. He wanted to cure it for a long time. This time when Wen Heng sent troops to Chen Guo, it was not Wen Heng's plan to succeed, but to deal with Chen alone. He gave me a name for nothing. It's too late to thank Gu." Ji Yue paused, "In contrast, Xia Guo really doesn't even have the value of letting Gu send troops."

Xia State was too weak, and there was another Chu State separated from Qin State. If Xia was defeated, the Chu State in the middle would not sit still.

This is also the reason why Ji Yue left a capital in the Xia Kingdom and did not completely destroy it.

If you want to destroy Xia, you must first accept Chu.

Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to have a Chu State sandwiched in a huge territory.

This is also the reason why Wen Heng is mainly targeting Chen and Lu this time. Chu and Xia are closely related, one is prosperous and one is damaged, and Xia will not really put Chu in danger.

Wei Lian is naturally aware of the stakes.

If Ji Yue really wanted to move Xia, Chu State would be in danger. At present, it is not necessary to move the state of Chu, but Chen Guocai, who is making frequent small moves, is imminent. Wrong is wrong, what's wrong, just understand in your heart.

"Wei Lian." Ji Yue said, "As a king, you never deal with someone who is wrong, but deal with someone who is harmful."
