The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and the singing of birds and insects is intertwined into a unique summer tune.
With such a beautiful scenery, the people present were trembling, staring at the person who was planted upside down in the vat with chills all over their bodies.
Emperor Jing Ming's expression was gloomy and cold, and he said word by word, "Get people out."
Several servants immediately stepped forward and worked together to get the people in the water tank out and put them on the ground.
The people were wet, and the ground soon became soaked with water.
Looking at the pale face, someone exclaimed, "Isn't this Eunuch Deng?"
Yu Jin stepped forward, bent over to check, and then nodded slightly to Emperor Jing Ming: "This man's face is damaged, although the blood can't be seen because he is immersed in water, but the hem of the clothes and the upper of the shoes are dripping with blood, so he was caught by two people. The cow has tracked it down…”
"So, this is the one who harmed the princess?" Emperor Jing Ming asked in a deep voice.
Yu Jin replied, "This is the person who spilled blood on the shore of Bibo Lake."
Such a watertight answer surprised Emperor Jing Ming with some admiration, thinking that his son would be very reliable and comprehensive when he encounters something, which is rare.
Emperor Jing Ming's impression of Yu Jin was better, and he turned to the two servants who rushed to the lake at the beginning: "You saw the back of the murderer, can you be sure it is this person?"
Being called and questioned by the emperor, the two servants could not help but tremble.
The queen standing next to Emperor Jing Ming said warmly, "If the emperor asks a question, you can answer it truthfully."
One of the servants bravely said: "The slave only saw the back, and can only roughly recognize the figure--"
Emperor Jing Ming nodded slightly, and immediately two palace servants picked up the servants who were lying on the ground, making him turn his back to the two servants.
"How is it?" Seeing the two servants staring at each other for a while without saying a word, the queen asked.
This time, she must find out that cunning person behind the scenes, and no one wants to be fooled.
A servant replied: "It looks like... At that time, the slave gave a quick glance. The man was medium in size and thin, similar to this man... "
The other servant nodded in agreement.
Emperor Jing Ming looked cold.
Erniu followed the smell and chased here, and the figure was right again. Who else could it be if it wasn't this person who harmed Fuqing and Shishi
"Who is this Eunuch Deng?" Emperor Jing Ming asked with a dark face.
Pan Hai hurriedly said: "Report to the emperor, Xiao Dengzi is the teakeeper in Chunhua Palace."
Emperor Jing Ming looked at Concubine Ning with deep eyes.
Being able to be remembered by Pan Hai means that the size of this person is in charge. And in Chunhua Palace, who was in charge, could he still break up with Concubine Ning
Concubine Ning was extremely annoyed by the sight of Emperor Jing Ming.
With her temperament, she used to quarrel with the emperor long ago, but now is not the time to let her temper.
Concubine Ning bowed her knees to Emperor Jingming, and said with a sullen face: "It's true that Xiao Dengzi is from Chunhua Palace, but the concubine knows nothing about what happened today. Please the emperor thoroughly investigate it to the end."
"Of course I will investigate thoroughly!" Emperor Jing Ming said coldly.
Again and again, until the death of the Fourteenth Princess completely angered the good-tempered emperor.
This time, I can't let it go easily, even if it's Concubine Ning--
Emperor Jing Ming looked at Concubine Ning with a gloomy expression.
No matter who it is, he will not forgive him lightly!
Ning Fei gritted her teeth.
She is really sitting at home, and disaster comes from the sky. Xiao Deng Zi usually looks at his honest duty. How could such a thing happen
Seeing that Yu Jin was examining Eunuch Deng's body, Emperor Jing Ming instructed Pan Hai, "Go and ask."
Pan Hai quickly summoned Chunhua Palace and began to interrogate.
The palace has a clear hierarchy, and even more so for the palace staff. Those low-level palace staff have set rules for when and where they are on duty, and there is no chance to walk around at will.
On the other hand, an inner servant with certain powers like Eunuch Deng is much freer, and if he finds an appropriate excuse to run out once, he will not attract much attention.
Pan Hai quickly asked the time when Eunuch Deng was out, which coincided with the time when the two princesses had an accident.
So far, it has been confirmed that Eunuch Deng is the murderer.
Yu Jin's voice sounded: "This person is more likely to commit suicide."
"How to be sure?" Emperor Jing Ming asked with a sullen face.
Yu Jin pointed to Eunuch Deng's mouth and nose, and explained, "My son checked his mouth and nose, and there is mushroom-like foam on the mouth and nose. Master Zhen told me that this situation means that his head sinks when he is breathing. into the water tank."
"Wouldn't it be someone else who pressed him in?" the queen couldn't help asking.
Intuitively, she didn't think it was Consort Ning who did it, but once the clue was interrupted at Xiao Lezi, the crime could only be attributed to Concubine Ning.
No one would believe that a little eunuch attacked the princess for personal reasons.
This situation, of course, was ordered by the master.
If Eunuch Deng killed him, he could follow the clues to investigate further.
"I also observed his head and body just now. Except for some damage to his face, there is no obvious trauma and no signs of struggle. This shows that he was not attacked by external forces."
Concerning herself, Concubine Ning's mind turned fast and she blurted out: "Can't he be thrown into the water tank because he was intoxicated and fell into a coma? In this way, he sank into the tank alive, and there will be no traces of trauma and struggle on his body. ."
The Queen's gaze towards Concubine Ning suddenly became subtle.
This is how Fuqing was pushed into Bibo Lake--
Yu Jin nodded: "I can't rule out this possibility. This requires an imperial physician who is proficient in poisons to check. But I prefer him to commit suicide."
"Why?" Emperor Jing Ming hurriedly asked.
Facing many curious eyes, Yu Jin said calmly: "In most cases, it is unlikely that an adult man is instantly unconscious with medication without struggling."
Although a part of it is missing, the physical strength of the inner servant is still not comparable to most women.
"Doctor Chen—" Emperor Jing Ming shouted.
An old doctor bravely walked over, took out silver needles and other items from the medicine box and began to examine the body, but he made up his mind to find an opportunity to return home.
It's not enough to serve the nobles carefully, and to touch the corpses, the days are almost impossible.
After a while, Imperial Physician Chen surrendered to Emperor Jing Ming: "Report to the emperor, this person has no obvious poison reaction."
There are thousands of poisons in the world, and there may be no abnormal existence after death, so he can do nothing.
By this time, it was almost certain that Eunuch Deng committed suicide.
Pan Hai walked out of the room dedicated to inquiries and bowed to Emperor Jingming: "Your Majesty, I have found two things."
"Say!"
Pan Hai glanced at Concubine Ning, lowered his eyes and said, "Four years ago, Concubine Ning had a conflict with Meiren Chen--"
Concubine Ning's face changed slightly, and she said with anger: "A little beauty is dead again, could this palace seek revenge for her daughter for a little bit of Chen Zhi's rotten millet? The brain hasn't been caught by the door yet!"
"What about the second thing?" Emperor Jing Ming did not comment on Concubine Ning's words, and continued to ask Pan Hai.
Pan Hai hesitated for a moment, then said, "The second matter is related to Concubine Xian."
