The Crown Prince is Actually a Princess!

Yuan Qiu was transferred to the handyman's room, and the inside story is worthy of fun.

The front yard of the handyman's house is very large, and all the palace staff work in the front yard.

Yuan Qiu has been working in the handyman's room for many days, sleeping in the common room with other court ladies.

According to the testimony of Li Tianxiang, the servant in charge of the handyman's room, and the maid of the shop, it has been two days since Yuanqiu.

Shen Zhiyan asked with a cold face: "Don't you think it's strange that you don't see her for two days?"

Murongci stared at these people, and several court ladies were kneeling respectfully, bowing their heads deeply, trembling and trembling.

They didn't dare to move, holding their breath, all their postures were in panic and awe, worried that they might be guilty of being seen by His Royal Highness.

Li Tianxiang was calmer. After all, he lived a few years longer than them, and he had seen many big scenes, but he still held a respectful attitude and didn't dare to offend.

When did the handyman meet such a big man like the prince?

Therefore, all the palace residents in the front yard fell into deep panic and fear, and did not dare to overstep it.

"In response to an adult, the minion thought she was ill...so let her rest for a day or two..." Li Tianxiang stammered, "She just came to the handy room and fell ill a few days later, and once fainted. They all saw it with their own eyes..."

"Yes, Yuan Qiu is ill." The ladies of the palace rushed to agree, as if they would be convicted if they didn't agree.

"I haven't seen anyone for two days, haven't you looked for or asked?" Murong Ci asked in a deep voice, exerting majesty.

"No... Your Royal Highness, Yuan Qiu is like this. Either he is sick or he doesn't see people all day... The slave doesn't care..." He was so frightened, "The slave didn't think she was dead... Your Highness, your lord, the slave didn't. Killing... the slave is wronged..."

Yuan Qiu was just an inconspicuous court lady. He never thought that she would invite inquiries from the prince and Dali Temple when she died, which he had never expected. He regretted his death, so he should have looked for Yuan Qiu before.

Shen Zhiyan threatened: "You'd better answer honestly, otherwise life is at stake..."

Li Tianxiang trembled with fright, "The slave must know everything and dare not hide anything..."

Murongci asked again: "Who found Yuan Qiu's body?"

A maid raised her head slightly, and said like a mosquito: "It's a slave girl. There is a water tank in the backyard that has been abandoned for a few years. The mother said to move the water tank to the front yard to clean it and fill it with water. know……"

Her face was pale, her limbs trembled violently, and the fear deep in her bones made her unable to restrain her, "The slave and maidservant saw Yuan Qiu curled up inside, her breath is gone..."

"Yuanqiu hasn't seen it for two days, it can be seen that it has been dead for two days. Has no one noticed the water tank in the backyard?" Murong Ci frowned and thought.

"His Royal Highness, no one goes to the backyard, because the palace people have to work from morning to night, and there is no time to go. Moreover, the water tank was abandoned in the grass under the tree, covered by the grass, so no one found it for two days." Li Tianxiang answer.

"Where is Yuan Qiu's body?"

Shen Zhiyan's handsome appearance and the grace of Yushu's wind drew the court ladies all over the courtyard, or shy, coquettish or obsessive eyes clinging to him, telling the secret thoughts of his daughter's family. However, they also know deeply that they are different from Master Shen Shaoqing of Dali Temple. They are not people of the same world, and it is impossible at all.

However, this does not prevent them from admiring the beauty of the world and staring obsessively.

Seeing that the prince didn't doubt himself, Li Tianxiang's scared three souls and seven souls returned, and replied: "The minion put Yuan Qiu's body in an unoccupied room."

Murongci and Shen Zhiyan looked at each other, and called the palace lady who found the body to go to the backyard.

Li Tianxiang led the way. The backyard was quite large, and the place near the house was flat and spacious. There were a few big trees near the courtyard wall with luxuriant branches and shades. The trees were full of weeds and were half a person high. There is a huge water tank at the root of the wall in the weeds. The dining room will be used to store water, but it is somehow abandoned here.

The palace lady was still terrified, and tremblingly stated what she had discovered at the time, "There is water in the water tank... Yuan Qiu was soaked in the water..."

Murongci stood in the grass, his cold eyes swept away inch by inch.

Mosquitoes flies all over the sky, buzzing. A lot of weeds have been broken, and there are all around the water tank, which shows that the murderer killed people here. However, it may also be the result of the palace officials carrying Yuan Qiu's body away.

Shen Zhiyan approached the water tank first, and she walked over. Li Tianxiang reminded: "His Royal Highness, this is the place where the case occurred. Beware of being hit by bad luck."

She ignored him and still stepped forward.

The water tank is really big enough to hold a woman. The water in the tank was 80% full and it was turbid. It must be rainwater. It became so turbid because of the corpse soaked in it.

Shen Zhiyan looked around and whispered: "There is no blood on the ground or around the water tank."

Murongci nodded and left after watching for a while.

They went to see Yuan Qiu's body, and she asked Li Tianxiang to go down, and the palace staff would work as usual, and would send them questions if necessary.

In the house, Li Tianxiang stood aside and did not dare to approach the corpse, because he smelled the deadly corpse, he covered his mouth and nose and frowned, not daring to look at the corpse.

Shen Zhiyan decided to conduct a preliminary inspection here. He put on the slim gloves he carried and inspected from the head, "The deceased Yuan Qiu, judging from the corpse spots and the degree of decay, should have been dead for two days. Because of being soaked in water, The whole body of the deceased was swollen..." He pressed twice on the abdomen of the corpse, and water came out of the deceased's mouth. He looked focused, and continued, "The dead are drowned."

Murongci was standing on the other side. Because the corpse was too stinky and unprepared, she could only relieve her by covering her nose and mouth, "See if there are any bruises on the deceased's body."

He nodded and unbuttoned Yuan Qiu's clothes.

Li Tianxiang immediately turned around and rushed out again, spitting out at the door.

"You are waiting outside." She shook her head helplessly.

"Yes... the slave retire first..." He rushed out like a pardon and vomited another big mouth.

"His Royal Highness, there are purple-red bruises on the back of the deceased's neck, which were caused during his lifetime." Shen Zhiyan inspected meticulously, "Is it like a five-fingerprint?"

"It does." Murongci stretched out his hand to press down on the back of a person's neck with his five fingers. "The murderer should have pressed Yuan Qiu's back and pushed her into the water tank before she drowned."

He continued to examine the body, "There were a lot of bruises on the arms of the deceased, which should have been caused during his lifetime."

She nodded, "It is normal for a palace resident to be abused and beaten by the palace occupants."

Shen Zhiyan then inspected the deceased’s hands. “Half of the deceased’s nails were broken, and several fingers were broken. It should be the result of the deceased’s arms scratching in the water tank when the deceased’s head was held.”

Murong replied: "Just now the palace saw one or two broken nails in the water tank."

After a while, he completed the autopsy, took off his gloves, and instructed Li Tianxiang to send someone to send the corpse to the East Palace without error and without destroying the corpse.

Li Tianxiang was worried that he was suspected of killing, so he took the job seriously.

She came to the shophouse where Yuan Qiu lived and asked several court ladies. They all said that they had not seen Yuan Qiu when they got up early two days ago.

Shen Zhiyan asked displeasedly: "Don't you think it's weird if you lack someone?"

The maids bowed their heads in fear, holding their breath and dared not to speak.

Murongci knows well that in the inner courtyard of the harem, in the corners of the palace, the lives of the palace are like grass, who cares about life or death? The disappearance of a person will not cause a ripple at all, even if it is guessed that the person may have died and turned into a ghost in the deep palace, no one will care, mention, or inquire.

Because this magnificent palace was originally a behemoth that devours people.

They inspected Yuan Qiu's shop and found nothing.

It seems that the murderer acted rather neatly, leaving no clues.

"In the middle of the night, it was the middle of the night two days ago. Did something unusual happen in the handyman's room?"

Murongci summoned all the palace officials and asked this question.

However, the palace people shook their heads.

Yes, they are so busy with their work during the day that they are too tired to live. They lie down and fall asleep. They have to get up early in the morning. They don't feel that they can sleep enough. How could someone get up in the middle of the night and bump into something unusual?

She and Shen Zhiyan left the handyman's room, and when they came out, they met a court lady. The court dress should be a court lady from Liushang Bureau.

Seeing the two nobles, the court lady hurriedly bowed and bowed her head respectfully.

Murongci glanced at the brocade box held by the lady of the court and asked, "Are you looking for someone in the handy house?"

"Yes." The beautiful lady of the palace replied softly, obviously not knowing them, "The slave and the maid worshipped the two nobles."

"What's your name? Which palace lady is it?" Murong Ci asked coldly.

"The maidservant is a maid from the Liushang Bureau, with a bad name Changqingqing, and the maidservant came to see Yuan Qiu, a friend in the handyman's room." The maid replied, rather courageous.

Murongci and Shen Zhiyan looked at each other, it was really no effort to find any place to get through the iron shoes.

They took her to a nearby pavilion, and Chang Qingqing still bowed and dared not raise her eyes.

Murongci asked, "What can you do with Yuanqiu?"

Chang Qingqing replied politely: "The slave maid and Yuan Qiu are from the same hometown. The slave maid came to Yuan Qiu because... dare to ask the two nobles... how should they be called?"

She asked with the courage that there are many nobles in this palace, and it is always necessary to ask clearly before answering.

"This palace is the prince." Murong Ci raised his eyebrows to indicate that the palace lady was very cautious.

"The slave and the maidservant visit His Royal Highness." Chang Qingqing knelt down and knelt on her head. "The slave and maid damned it. He smashed into your Highness. Your Highness forgive me."

"As long as you answer this palace honestly, this palace can spare you the death penalty. What are you holding in your hand?"

"Yes." Chang Qingqing lowered her eyebrows and said, "The slave and Yuan Qiu are from the same township, and they are considered to be sisters. Yuan Qiu was transferred to work in the handyman's room not long ago, but Yuan Qiu learned that something was wrong with her family in the country. Her elder brother was beaten to death. His father was so angry that he couldn’t afford to be ill. His mother was ill in bed. The family was running out of food, and there was no money to ask the doctor to see a doctor. Three days ago, Yuan Qiu found a maidservant and asked the maidservant to help her repair this. The golden hairpin in the brocade box."
