This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Tang Jingjing led people to ask everyone at the inn, and the result was that after the imperial concubine Qingyuan came back from the palace, she stayed alone in the room and never came out.

Apart from Jingzhi who went to deliver medicine once, no one else went in.

The body of the Crown Princess has been carried away, and Nan Xi and Wen Ying checked the room repeatedly.

"The doors and windows are closed, and no one outside heard the princess' cry for help. Who poisoned her? Where did the saffron come from?" Wen Ying opened and closed the window carefully. Looked at every detail and found nothing.

"Check all the pharmacies in the city to see who has bought saffron recently." Li Qingmo ordered.

Lan Jue has always been responsible for this kind of thing, and he is better at it.

Xia Rui followed Li Qingmo into the palace.

After such a big incident, the courtiers all gathered in the Qinzheng Hall to make plans. The noise made Li Beimu's head hurt.

"The Prince Regent has arrived." The little eunuch called outside the door.

Everyone in the hall subconsciously kept silent. As the door of the hall opened, everyone divided into two sides and knelt down together.

Chanting: "See the Regent."

Li Qingmo walked in under the moonlight, and the starlight in the sky highlighted the condensation on his body. Wherever he walked, there seemed to be a gust of cool breeze, which made people's scalp numb due to the cold.

Li Erbao brought him a chair.

After Li Qingmo sat down, all the ministers stood up.

They all stood with their hands down in an orderly manner, and the noise just now was no longer heard.

"My king, I heard that you all have quite insightful opinions just now. Go on, I will also listen carefully and learn more."

Everyone: "..."

The head hangs lower.

No one wants to be the one who stands out.

Li Beimu sat on the dragon chair and looked at the people below with dignity.

Haha, keep arguing.

Why are you not noisy?
Li Qingmo leaned on the chair and looked at the room full of people with a half-smile, but not even half of them were useful.

"Where is the second place in the new science?"

Someone said: "He is still in Beijing and has not yet taken office."

The emperor had just returned from Coast City with the regent, and happened to be visited by a delegation from the Blue Bird Kingdom. He really didn't have time to arrange for the second place.

Only the number one scholar, Su Sijin, went to Ancheng to take up his post.

Tanhua Murongce was sent to the frontier by the regent as a county magistrate.

Now among the top three, only the second-placed one still has no official position.

A quarter of an hour later, No. [-] came to the front of the palace dressed in cloth and knelt down: "I see the emperor from Yu Guiyuan, long live the emperor! Long live the regent Jin An."

Li Qingmo's eyelids slightly raised, her calm eyes fell on him, and he said slowly: "Yu Guiyuan will be appointed as the Gyeonggi Patrol Department immediately, and the case of the Blue Bird Princess will be solved within seven days."

Everyone was shocked.

He glanced at Yu Guiyuan with an appraising gaze, feeling some sympathy and some gloating at his misfortune.

Was he being used as a scapegoat by the regent?

It's not as good as Murong Ce, the third-highest beauty. Although he was sent away, he still has a chance to counterattack and return to Beijing.

Yu Guiyuan didn't have any other reaction. He kowtowed directly to thank him and accepted the job.

After everyone left, Li Beimu asked: "Uncle Emperor, you are using Yu Guiyuan at this time, but because he is a newcomer, he is not within the prediction of the murderer behind the scenes?"

Li Qingmo didn't expect that this naughty kid would react very quickly this time, and nodded: "If there is going to be chaos, keep your temper. If nothing happens, read more books, approve memorials, and run less to Ci'an Palace."

He was not worried about anything else, he was only worried that Li Beimu was being held back by the Queen Mother because of his stupidity and filial piety.

Li Beimu also understood what Li Qingmo meant, "Don't worry, uncle, I know what to do."

……

Haishi, the inn.Nan Xi conducted a detailed examination of the corpse of the princess.

She held a knife and prepared to shave off some of the crown prince's hair, but Jing Zhi repeatedly stopped her.

"Don't think that with the support of the Regent of Dongyue, you can do whatever you want. The Crown Princess has a noble status. How can you just cut off her hair?"

Nan Xi didn't say anything, just looked at Wen Ying aside.

Wen Ying understood instantly. It seemed that the Crown Princess must have another mystery behind her head.

"General Jing, I think you'd better go out and don't delay our autopsy." She gently grabbed Jing Zhi's wrist.

It's really gentle.

Jingzhi couldn't break free, as a strong force seemed to be restraining her.

She was secretly surprised and looked at Wen Ying with a frown.

"Who are you?"

Wen Ying: "Capture him quickly."

Jing Zhi didn't believe it: "How can a policeman have such deep inner strength?"

Wen Ying chuckled: "I can't help it. There are so many talented people in Dongyue, but I still managed to get through to such a small police officer."

As soon as she finished speaking, she dragged Jingzhi out.

It's really a tow.

And Jingzhi had no power to fight back.

After going out, Wen Ying closed the door with his backhand and winked at Nan Xi.

Nan Xi gave a thumbs up and mouthed: Awesome!

After closing the door, Nan Xi added more lamp oil, making the room brighter.

The imperial concubine lay quietly on the bed. Jingzhi and the others had put on new clothes, and the clothes that were originally stained with blood were put aside as evidence in the case.

"You were originally expecting your child to be born as you wished, right?" Nan Xi picked up the razor again, "Don't worry, I will find the real murderer of you and your child."

She carefully shaved off the crown princess's hair, and finally found an extremely tiny pinprick an inch below her hair.

If Nan Xi hadn't been observant, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.

"Where's the needle?" Nan Xi's fingertips gently touched the area around the eye of the needle and pressed a little harder.

Then he took out a medical cell forceps from the space and took out the silver needle that was completely submerged in the head bit by bit.

The faint fishy smell spread throughout the air, Nan Xi frowned slightly, took the silver needle further away, and looked at the Crown Princess again.

"No wonder you didn't scream in severe pain even after taking saffron. It turned out to be because of this."

At midnight, Nan Xi walked out of the room. In the yard, Jing Zhi and Wen Ying were fighting.

A deliberate temptation, a deliberate provocation.

One step at a time, with ease.

The palace officials of the Blue Bird Kingdom were all shocked, looking at Wen Ying with disbelief in their eyes.

Dongyue's little catchers can actually tie with their generals. Are Dongyue people so powerful?

Hearing Nan Xi's footsteps, Wen Ying blocked Jing Zhi's palm with one hand and easily defused it. He tapped his toes, moved back quickly, and quit the battle.

"Wen Wen is awesome!" Nan Xi praised with a thumbs up.

Wen Ying chuckled: "Nowhere, it all depends on General Jing's acceptance."

Jing Zhi looked unhappy, breathless, and his fear of Wen Ying deepened.

After a while, she adjusted her breathing and asked Nan Xi, "Is the autopsy over?"

Nan Xi nodded: "Well, I already know the reason why the princess did not scream in pain after taking saffron."

"What's the reason?" Jingzhi asked. (End of chapter)
