The evidence Shen Yanzhi now has has reached a dead end.

The situation investigated by Dr. Jiang was the same as what the official from the Ministry of Punishment said.

Moreover, Wu Zuo also said that he could not tell whether he was poisoned, just insane, or Chu Cairen committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake out of guilt and fear. All three possibilities were possible.

No physical evidence could be found, so only witnesses could be found.

After three days of inspection, they only found the body of one guard, stuffed in a cave in the rockery. This man still had Chu Cairen's gold hairpin on his body, so he was definitely the one who insulted Chu Cairen.

But this man was already dead, and the wound was still on his chest. At first glance, it looked like he committed suicide out of fear of crime.

However, Wu Zuo's investigation revealed that the direction of the knife's handle was opposite to the guard's usual tearing hand. It was not a suicide, but someone killed him in front of him.

The person who can kill this guard in person must be someone the guard trusts.

Moreover, Wu Zuo said that the guard had no wounds of resistance, which showed that he trusted him quite a lot.

It is very possible that this person is the mastermind behind the murder, intending to drown out the truth.

But after checking here, it is indeed impossible to continue the investigation.

The Minister of Punishment also advised Shen Yanzhi not to investigate overtly, but to investigate secretly.

Things turned to covert investigation, and there was no stoppage these days.

Shen Yanzhi saw that Ren Yuhuan was really worried, so he told her what happened without warning.

"What do you think after hearing this?"

Shen Yanzhi asked her what she thought. She really wanted to tell Ren Qianyu's name.

But she still held it back. In the past few days, Ren Qianyu had scolded her a lot, taking it out on her, saying that she had turned her back and wrote to her father to complain, and threatened to have her hands disabled.

But Ren Yuhuan knew that she couldn't say anything without any evidence, and she could only continue to endure it until she couldn't trip up Ren Qianyu in one fell swoop.

Moreover, it was not that Ren Yuhuan had not heard of Ren Qianyu's threat to Imperial Physician Jiang.

Ren Yuhuan thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, what do you think the original plan of the real culprit behind the scenes was?"

Shen Yanzhi heard Ren Yuhuan's words and immediately understood what she meant.

The real culprit behind the scenes insulted Chu Cairen and allowed Chu Cairen to go crazy. This is very strange.

It shows that the real culprit behind the scenes is not seeking revenge on Chu Cairen, but also wants to destroy Chu Cairen.

"You mean, the real culprit behind the scenes wants us to discover what Chu Cairen has done, and wants to frame her for having an affair?"

Ren Yuhuan nodded.

"But the appearance of Dr. Jiang disrupted the plan of the real culprit behind the scenes."

Shen Yanzhi nodded yes.

If Dr. Jiang had not told the truth at that time, he must have been an accomplice of the real murderer behind the scenes, because someone had to guide this plan.

Ren Yuhuan guided Shen Yanzhi to trust Imperial Physician Jiang step by step.

So when Shen Yanzhi heard that Dr. Jiang was a useful talent, he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Dr. Jiang's concerns.

He talked about how Dr. Jiang was worried about his sister's marriage, and was depressed every day. Because he was distracted when diagnosing the pulse, he was scolded by Ren Qianyu.

"My slave heard that the empress said that she wanted to marry Imperial Doctor Jiang personally, so she asked him to be more careful."

By saying this, he naturally gained Shen Yanzhi's trust, and it was not that Shen Yanzhi couldn't hear the implication of Ren Yu Huan's words.

Since Ren Yuhuan wanted his help, Shen Yanzhi arranged a good marriage for Imperial Physician Jiang's sister.

"By the way, let Ren Yuhuan come to the imperial study to make tea tomorrow." Wang Lian raised his lips and smiled, and walked out happily.

Without wasting a moment, he immediately sent someone to notify Ren Yuhuan.

Ren Yuhuan's appearance in the corridor was really not to win Shen Yanzhi's heart, but to worry about Imperial Physician Jiang.

But since Shen Yanzhi summoned her again, she would not miss this opportunity.

She had to get the evidence regarding Chu Cairen's matter. This was something Ren Qianyu committed herself to commit suicide. She couldn't let go of this good opportunity!

Besides, she has already implicated Ren Qianyu in this matter, and Shen Yanzhi will not miss it.

Xue Jian's illness was much better. After bathing and changing clothes, he sat in front of the bronze mirror and dressed up.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I feel that I have lost weight due to this disease.

She hadn't gone out for a few days, and Xue Jian didn't want to see Ren Qianyu, so she just walked in the imperial garden.

Not wanting to meet Concubine Shu, she also brought chestnuts to play in the imperial garden. The snow-white cat suddenly jumped out, startling Xuejian.

Xue Jian was already weak, and she was already tired after walking for so long.

Being frightened like this, he fell directly to the ground.

The talents around Concubine Shu came around and saw Xuejian sitting on the ground next to Lizi. They pursed their lips and shouted with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect Guiren Xue to be here, why are you sitting on the ground? Are you afraid of cats?" "

Concubine Shu heard this and came over, and she saw Xuejian falling to the ground: "I'm sorry, it was Lizi who hit my sister, right?"

Xuejian stood up holding the palace maid's hand and said, "No, I accidentally fell down."

Concubine Shu and several talented people heard this and all looked at each other and smiled.

"I heard that my sister is sick, but she got sick because of the time. Everyone is worried about you!"

Seeing that she heard something wrong, Xue immediately asked with a smile: "I wonder what my sister means?"

Concubine Shu smiled lightly, shook her head deliberately and said, "No, they are all talking nonsense. Sister, please don't make such nonsense. I don't believe it."

Several talented people around him immediately rushed to the front and argued unconvinced: "Mother, it's not that we are talking nonsense, you see that Chu Talent has always been dissatisfied with Xue Guiren, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Chu told me that day that Mr. Xue relied on the support of the imperial concubine and His Majesty the Tyrant refused to let him go. She had a way to make Mr. Xue walk away without delay."

"As a result, something happened to Chu Cairen that night, and Xue Guiren also happened to be sick."

Several talented people said bitterly: "Let's see, Xue Guiren's illness is very strange. Could it be that Chu Talent came back to claim his life?"

Xue Jian's face turned pale with anger, and she said in a trembling voice: "Don't talk nonsense. I am sick first, and Chu Cairen's trouble is behind. How can you just frame me?"

Concubine Shu heard this and smiled and said: "Framing? I heard that Chu Cairen went crazy on his own. I heard that my sister means that someone was murdered?"

Xue Jian couldn't keep up with her body now and couldn't argue with these human spirits. She just held on to the palace maid's hand to catch her breath.

She took long and short breaths, each time getting tighter and tighter, and she looked very painful.

One of the talents pointed at Yukimi and shouted, "Ah, it turns out she has asthma!"

This is because Xuejian survived the cold in the palace during the winter when she was punished by washing clothes and contracted the cold. Unfortunately, she suffered from asthma, which would attack when she was weak.

Several talented people stood aside in disgust and said to Concubine Shu: "She was born like this. I don't know what diseases she has. It's really——"

Before the few people finished their harsh words, I didn't know how Shen Yanzhi came out from behind the tree, stepped forward to hug Xuejian, stared at them coldly, and turned his eyes on Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu quickly pretended to be frightened and said to Shen Yanzhi: "Your Majesty, you came just in time. We don't know what to do!" (End of Chapter)
