The upright forensic doctor bumped into the drama prince

"Your Highness, someone wanted to murder the concubine, and the side concubine Wang just protected the concubine from disaster." After Gao Zhenzhen finished speaking, he glanced at Princess Yaohua and Ji Linglan, and anyone with a discerning eye could understand the meaning.

How could Linfengshu not be clear, it was only about two lives, or his concubine and child, he couldn't be too partial, and asked aloud: "Which servant followed the side concubine Wang when she went to the concubine's courtyard?"

As soon as Lin Fengshu finished speaking, two maids came out from the crowd, both of them knelt down on the ground, and said: "Slave He Xiang, (Slave Lan Xiang), I have seen Your Highness."

Lan Xiang glanced at He Xiang, and then said: "Your Highness, two slaves and maids are on duty today."

Lin Fengshu asked bluntly: "Why did the side concubine Wang go to the concubine's yard?"

Lan Xiang raised her head and glanced at Ji Linglan and Lin Yongye, and said, "Return to Your Highness, today when the concubine was admiring the flowers in the imperial garden, she met Prince Lan and His Royal Highness, and had some unpleasantness with the two His Royal Highnesses. Then I went to the courtyard of the princess."

Although Lan Xiang didn't finish her words, everyone already understood her unfinished words.

Lin Xian'er heard this, and quickly complained for Gao Zhenzhen, saying: "Father, now that the concubine mother is out of favor and is seriously ill in bed, the concubine Wang is pregnant, and her status is unusual, so she often goes to the concubine mother's yard Li showed off his might and even insulted the concubine mother. Today he was angry with the eldest brother, so he vented his anger on the concubine mother, and even snatched the blood swallow that made up for the concubine mother, so she died of poisoning, which is really her own fault."

Lin Li'er heard the words and cried and said: "Even if the mother acts a bit domineering, she is not guilty of death, not to mention the younger brother in the mother's womb, he is innocent, please father Wang Mingjian!"

Gao Zhenzhen looked at Lin Li'er coldly, and said: "Your mother was not killed by this concubine, if you want revenge, you must find the person who poisoned her, not this concubine."

Lin Fengshu looked at Lin Ya and asked, "Doctor Lin, have you seen that bowl of blood swallow, is it poisonous?"

Lin Ya bowed and replied: "His Royal Highness, I have indeed checked the bowl containing the blood swallow by order of the concubine, but I have not yet determined whether it is poisonous."

Lin Fengshu turned to look at Ji Pingting, and asked, "Have you brought Ting'er's Gu?"

Ji Pingting looked at Linfeng's book, hesitantly took out the vial containing the poisonous Gu, and said, "I brought it."

Upon seeing this, Lin Fengshu ordered: "Come here, bring the bowl containing the blood swallow."

A servant walked into the bedroom and brought the bowl over. Ji Pingting glanced at everyone, opened the bottle cap, and put the poisonous Gu into it. After a while, the snow-white Gu changed color, and it was Very deep blue.

Ji Pingting said truthfully, "Uncle, this bowl is indeed poisonous."

"Come here, bring all the people who have been in contact with Xueyan, the crown prince must investigate carefully."

Ma Caolin, the Commander of the Valiant Guards who was waiting at the side, responded, "Yes, Your Highness."

Cao Yikun was implicated in the assassination of Ji Linglan by Zhang Zhou. Although there was no evidence to prove that he was involved, he was also dismissed by Linfengshu for dereliction of duty, and Ma Caolin was appointed as the new leader of the Xiaoji Guards.

Lin Fengshu looked at Wang's body, and said: "Come here, carry down the body of the side concubine Wang, and restrain yourself."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Seeing this, Ji Linglan hesitated, but in the end she didn't say anything more. Mrs. Wang died of poisoning in full view. She didn't have any equipment and couldn't distinguish the ingredients of the poison. He was suspected of tampering with the corpse, after all, Gao Zhen really came after him.

Lin Fengshu looked at Princess Yaohua, and said: "Feng Yao, Ah Lan, follow me to the front hall to sit."

Princess Yaohua nodded and said, "Okay."

Everyone took their seats in the front hall one after another, except for Gao Zhenzhen's occasional coughing, no other voices could be heard.

After a while, Ma Caolin came to report and brought the relevant people into the front hall.

Lin Fengshu looked at the three people kneeling in front of the hall, and said: "Is the bowl of blood swallow delivered to the Crown Princess today related to the three of you?"

The three looked at each other, and said in unison, "Yes."

"What does it have to do with you?"

Chunxi replied: "His Royal Highness, Xueyan is a servant who washes her hair by soaking it."

Chun Fu said: "Return to Your Highness, the blood swallows are boiled by slaves."

Chunshou said: "Return to Your Highness, the blood swallow was sent to the East Palace by a slave."

"Do you know that blood swallows are highly poisonous?"

The three of them were stunned, Chunxi came back to their senses first, and said in fear: "Your Highness, the servants don't know that the blood swallow is poisonous, even if you give the servants ten heads, they don't dare to put poison in the food of the Crown Princess, please check it out, Your Highness." !"

Chunfu quickly responded: "Yes, Your Highness, even if the servants want to harm the princess, they will not be so stupid as to poison the food they cook. Isn't that telling others that it was the servants who did it? Please His Highness the Crown Prince, please enlighten me."

"Aside from you, who else has touched this bowl of blood swallow?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Chunshou said aloud, "Return to Your Highness, the servants only sent the food outside the gate of the East Palace and handed it over to Madam Liu who is next to the Crown Princess, and the other servants didn't know about it."

"Is Nanny Liu here?"

Nanny Liu, who was beside Gao Zhenzhen, came out and said, "Your Highness, the old servant is here."

"Is he telling the truth?"

Mother Liu replied: "Your Highness, it is indeed the blood swallow that the old slave took from him. Afterwards, the old slave went back to the yard, and met the fierce Wang Concubine. She asked the old slave what he was holding. The old slave answered truthfully, and the concubine Wang snatched the blood swallow from the old slave, and the crown princess never touched the bowl of blood swallow from the beginning to the end."

Lin Fengshu looked at He Xiang and Lan Xiang who were waiting at the side, and asked: "Is what Liu Nanny said true?"

He Xiang glanced at Lan Xiang and said, "Return to Your Highness, what Liu Nanny said is true."

Lin Fengshu pondered for a while, and said: "So, the person who poisoned you is among the four of you."

Upon hearing this, Mother Liu hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and said: "Your Highness, this old slave has been following your mother for many years and has always been loyal. How could he poison your mother? Please ask your highness to investigate clearly."

The three of Chunxi also knelt on the ground and shouted for grievances, and the room was full of noise for a while.

Gao Zhenzhen coughed a few times, and said: "His Royal Highness, it is clear that someone wants to murder the concubine. These slaves have no grievances with the concubine, so naturally they will not take the risk of killing the three clans. The murderer must be Those who have enmity with their concubines, they are just scapegoats."

Upon hearing this, Chun Fu quickly said: "Your Highness, it's not only the three servants who have come into contact with Xueyan, but also Duke Lan."

Everyone looked at Ji Linglan together.

Ji Linglan couldn't help not being nervous at all, but heaved a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of Gao Zhenzhen's move, but he was afraid that she would keep her face.Ji Linglan said calmly: "Uncle, I have indeed been to the imperial dining room, but I have never touched a blood swallow."

Chunfu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Lan, why did you lie? When you went to the imperial dining room, you obviously asked what the slave was cooking, and the slave answered truthfully. How can you say that you have never seen it before?"

"There are quite a few people in the imperial dining room. You said I asked, can anyone prove it?"

Chun Xi answered, "I can prove that the king of Lan County did ask."

Lin Yongye, who had been silent all this time, said: "Father, when I went to the imperial dining room, I was with A Lan all the time, and I never heard him ask."

Gao Zhenzhen looked at Linyongye displeasedly, and said: "Ye'er, my concubine knows that you have a good relationship with A Lan, but now it is my concubine who was almost poisoned to death, you can't lie."

Lin Yongye was unmoved, and insisted: "Mother, I have been with Alan from the beginning to the end, Alan did not touch anything other than some vegetables and raw meat, and did not ask any questions about Xueyan. "

It was the first time that Lin Yongye, who had always been taciturn, uttered such a long sentence, and it was to defend Ji Linglan, but to contradict Gao Zhenzhen.

Ji Linglan was moved, she turned her head to look at Chunxi and the two, and said, "Why did you frame me, and who ordered you?"

"No servant. The servant is telling the truth. Prince Lan did ask about it, and even sent the servant to cut the mutton. Everyone in the imperial dining room saw it."

"I asked you to cut the mutton. I admit it. Not only you, but also another cook, but I have never seen Xueyan, nor have I touched it. Cousin and Youran can prove this." Ji Linglan suddenly After a pause, he continued, "Compared to me, you are more likely to poison me."

"It's not a slave. The slave and the empress have no grievances or enmity, so how could they be willing to risk the danger of killing the three clans. On the contrary, the king of Lan County and the empress have always been at odds, and they have more motives than the slaves."

Gao Zhenzhen interjected: "Your Highness, since they insist on their own opinions, why not ask Commander Ma to lead people to search their residences to see if there is any poison in them, and then we will know who the murderer is."

Chunxi and Chunfu looked at each other and said, "Your Highness, the servants are willing to cooperate. For the sake of fairness, Prince Lan also needs to be searched."

"Fair?" Ji Pingting looked at the two of them disdainfully, and said, "What are you guys who dare to talk about fairness with my brother, even if my brother killed you now, no one would say 'no' 'Character."

The faces of the two froze, and Chunxi said: "Princess, the slaves are humble, and they dare not be compared with Prince Lan. It's just that this matter involves the empress, and the concubine Wang lost her life because of it. The matter is very important. Presumably, if Prince Lan is innocent, he will not be afraid of being searched."

Ji Linglan smiled and said: "If I remember correctly, the three of you should belong to the imperial dining room. The side concubine Wang died not long ago, and the cause of death has not yet been determined. It is estimated that the emperor's grandfather has not received the news yet. It is known that the death of the concubine Wang is related to the bowl of blood swallows, it is really well-informed."

Chun Xi's face changed, and she quickly explained: "I... this servant also guessed it based on His Highness's question..."

"Since you came in, my uncle only said that the bowl of blood swallow was poisonous, but never said that the concubine was poisoned and died. How did you deduce it? Or did you know that the bowl of blood swallow was poisoned, and you were instructed to intentionally kill it?" Frame me up?"

"No. The servants are clumsy and tongue-tied, not as eloquent as King Lan County, but the servants are indeed innocent and are willing to cooperate with the search. Then we will know whether the servants are lying."

I have to say that this Chunxi is still a little clever. His words completely cornered Ji Linglan. If he refused to accept the search, and Chunxi and Chunfu didn't find anything suspicious, then he was I can't even speak clearly.Even if Lin Fengshu believed him in the end, people would think that Ji Linglan was the murderer, and the reason why he was not punished was because he was the only son of Princess Yaohua.In this way, not only will he become a recognized murderer, but Princess Yaohua's reputation will also be affected.

Ji Linglan smiled, and said: "The search is fine, but I don't trust the Xiaoji Guards. After all, Zhang Zhou, the deputy commander of the Xiaoji Guards, was ordered to assassinate me, so it is inevitable that he will not be ordered to frame me again. Please send People report to the emperor's grandfather and let the Xiaoqi guards conduct a search, if the poison can still be found in my yard, then I will confess my crime today."

"Xiao Jiwei is His Highness's personal guard. By saying this, Ah Lan suspects that His Highness is doing you harm?" Gao Zhenzhen stared at Ji Linglan with slightly yellow eyes.

How could Ji Linglan fail to hear such an obvious solicitation, and said: "Auntie's words are wrong. Although this Xiaoji guard is uncle's private guard, it may not be uncle who obeys orders. Alan just said that he doesn't believe Xiaoxiao. Ji Wei, but he never said that he doesn't trust uncle. Uncle, you shouldn't mind."

Lin Fengshu said warmly: "Of course I don't mind."

Princess Yaohua said aloud: "Xu Ning, you go and report to Emperor Father."

"Yes, this subordinate obeys." Xu Ning responded, turned and left.

After talking with Xu Ningshen on the night when Ji Linglan was injured, Ji Mingqiu decided to transfer Xu Ning away from Ji Linglan's side.Later, Ji Mingqiu asked for Ji Linglan's opinion. After Ji Linglan learned of the reason for Lynch's betrayal, she also had a deep talk with Xu Ning. No one else knew what she was talking about, but Xu Ning stayed in the end.Not only that, but Ji Linglan also pleaded for Lin Qi in front of Lin Tianyao. Although Lin Qi was expelled from the shadow guard, he wasted all his efforts to save his life.

After about two cups of tea, Xiao Ji was ordered to come to the East Palace, and after greeting Linfengshu and Princess Yaohua, he led people to search the yards of Chunxi, Chunfu, and Ji Linglan respectively. Yes nothing was found.

Seeing that Gao Zhenzhen's face became more and more ugly, Ji Linglan said with a smile: "Uncle, there is one person who has not been searched."

Lin Fengshu was startled, and then asked: "Who else is there?"

Ji Linglan pointed to the person kneeling on the ground, and said, "Mother Liu."

Nanny Liu froze and said, "Your Highness, this old servant belongs to the empress, and will never poison the empress."

Ji Linglan smiled contemptuously, and said, "You wouldn't poison your aunt, but this bowl of blood swallow is obviously for the purpose of planting and framing you, so you should be more suspicious. To be fair, my yard They have searched, and there is no reason to let Madam Liu's residence go."

Lin Fengshu looked at Xiao Ji, and said: "Please trouble Commander Xiao to make another trip."

"Yes, Your Highness." Xiao Ji bowed to accept the order, and led the people to Gao Zhenzhen's courtyard.

After burning an incense stick, Xiao Ji returned to the front hall, holding a paper bag in his hand, bowed and said: "Your Highness, I found this in Madam Liu's closet, and it contained some white powder."

Liu Momo said quickly, "Your Highness, this old slave used it to poison mice."

Lin Fengshu opened the paper bag, looked at it, handed it to Lin Ya, and said, "Does Doctor Lin recognize what this is?"

Lin Ya took the paper bag, put it in his nose and smelled it, and said, "Return to Your Highness, although I don't know what it is, the smell is somewhat similar to the smell in the blood swallow bowl."

"This is easy." Ji Pingting walked to Lin Ya, poured the powder in the paper bag into a tea bowl, filled it with water, took out a small bottle to release the poisonous poison, let her crawl into the tea bowl, and blinked. In a short time, the snow-white poisonous Gu turned blue.Ji Pingting took out the color-changing poison Gu from before, put it together with this poison Gu, and said with a smile: "If the poison is the same, the color on them will be the same, you see, they have all changed Blue, even the shade is the same. I can guarantee that the powder in the paper bag is exactly the same as the poison in the blood swallow."

Lin Fengshu's face turned cold, and he shouted sharply: "Liu Mama, what else do you want to say?"

Grandma Liu prostrated herself on the ground and said in fear: "Your Highness, Madam, this old slave was wronged. Someone must have framed him. Please Your Highness, Madam, to be the master of this old slave."

"Wronged?" Xiao Ji's expression changed when he heard it, and he said in a deep voice, "Mother Liu said that I, Xiao, was framed?"

"No, this old slave has no such intention." Nanny Liu quickly denied it.

In the whole Lin Kingdom, Xiao Qiwei's name is very famous, especially its commander Xiao Ji, who is trusted by Lin Tianyao, is clean and neat, and ruthless. He is only loyal to Lin Tianyao and is a knife in Lin Tianyao's hand. .

Xiao Ji bowed and said: "Your Highness, this stubborn slave is very stubborn. If you hand her over to the general, the general will guarantee to ask the truth from her."

Mother Liu panicked completely when she heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty, save me. This old slave was wronged. Your Majesty, save this old slave. For the sake of this old slave's loyalty to you, please save this old slave!"

Gao Zhenzhen's face became even uglier. Just as she was about to speak, she began to cough, her breathing was rough and heavy, like a bellows with a hole in it.

Lin Xian'er stroked Gao Zhenzhen's back, and said nervously: "Prince doctor, mother concubine is ill, please see mother concubine quickly!"

Seeing this, Lin Ya hurried over and said, "Princess, help your mother to lie down in the bedroom."

Seeing this, Lin Fengshu ordered lightly: "Come here, take the princess back to the yard."

"Yes, Your Highness."

What Lin Fengshu said was to send Gao Zhenzhen back to the courtyard, not to the nearby room for treatment, which shows that he was completely disappointed with Gao Zhenzhen.

Lin Xian'er was startled, but said nothing, with the help of the maid, she helped Gao Zhenzhen out of the room.

Lin Yongye looked at Ji Linglan, and after leaving with Lin Fengshu and Princess Yaohua, he walked out.

Lin Fengshu looked at the three people lying on the ground, and said wearily: "Commander Xiao, I will leave these three people to you."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will definitely go all out." After Xiao Ji finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the guards under him took the three of them down.

"Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, spare your life..." The wailing sounded one after another, but soon stopped abruptly.

Lin Fengshu waved his hand, and the servants in the hall retreated one after another.He looked at Princess Yaohua and Ji Linglan, and said helplessly: "Feng Yao, A Lan, I will give you an explanation for this matter."

Princess Yaohua understands his feelings, it's just about Ji Linglan, and she can't be soft-hearted, she said: "Brother Emperor, Gao Zhen is really cruel and merciless. This time, he planted the blame and framed it for Ah Lan, but it happened that he was bumped into by the concubine Wang. , she pushed the boat smoothly, let the concubine Wang find the Xueyan, and provoked her to fight, so that two dead bodies were killed in the end. In this way, she not only got rid of the child who threatened Yong Ye, but also got rid of the arrogant and domineering child. Concubine Wang, finally using Concubine Wang's death to frame Ah Lan, it kills three birds with one stone. Brother Huang, such a cruel and ambitious Crown Concubine really can't let it go any longer."

"Feng Yao, Mrs. Gao doesn't have much time left, don't worry, from today onwards, I will put her under house arrest and strictly prohibit anyone from contacting her, let her fend for herself."

Princess Yaohua nodded, and said: "If there is nothing wrong with the emperor, you can spend more time with Yongye, that child has a heavy heart and is not in good health."

Lin Fengshu said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it will have to be done by A Lan. Today, Yong Ye rebelled against the Gao family because of A Lan, which is enough to show that Yong Ye has recognized A Lan, and Yong Ye and I really don't know what to do." get along."

Ji Linglan said aloud: "Uncle, my cousin's heart is very sensitive, as long as you really care, my cousin will definitely feel it."

"This is not something that can be done overnight. It has to be done slowly, so I have to trouble A Lan to spend more time with Yong Ye."

Ji Linglan said helplessly: "That's fine."

This incident alarmed Lin Tianyao from the very beginning, and Xiao Ji was handling it afterwards, so naturally he couldn't hide it from him.Lin Fengshu truthfully reported what happened and everyone's reactions.After Lin Tianyao found out, he was very angry, and directly ordered Gao Zhenzhen to be imprisoned in Yilan Palace, and no one was allowed to visit.The meaning is obvious, just want her to fend for herself.

Since that day, Linyongye hasn't visited Ji Linglan for several days, and Ji Linglan has been busy all day because of the renovation and opening of the store, and even moved out of the palace and moved into the princess mansion.

Although Lin Tianyao didn't agree with Ji Linglan's opening of a store, he didn't stop him. On the contrary, after several conversations with Ji Linglan, he changed some of his previous thoughts and paid more attention to business development.

After half a month of busy work, Ji Linglan's shop was finally ready and the goods were in place, so it was just a matter of picking a good day to open.Princess Yaohua also went to Qin Tianjian specifically for this reason, saying that the auspicious day of this month has passed, and the next auspicious day will be the sixteenth of next month. Although Ji Linglan didn't believe this, she didn't want to disappoint Princess Yaohua's kindness, so she The date of opening was set for November [-]th.

As soon as the shop was settled, Lin Tianyao sent someone to call Ji Linglan into the palace, and accompanied Lin Tianyao to discuss political affairs in the imperial study, and Ji Linglan was going to go to the imperial dining room to choose ingredients.In view of the last incident, the people in the imperial dining room were cleaned again, Chunxi and Chunfu disappeared, and Madam Liu never appeared again. Although Ji Linglan didn't ask, she knew what would happen to them.

"Alan."

The familiar voice interrupted Ji Linglan's thoughts, he looked back and saw Lin Yongye standing not far from him.

Ji Linglan walked over with a smile, and said, "Cousin, I haven't seen you for a while, how are you doing, are you not sick?"

Lin Yongye shook his head and said, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the imperial dining room. It's been a long time since I've been back to the palace. I want to give the emperor a change."

"Together."

"Okay, I just need a helper." The two went to the imperial dining room together.

"I heard you've been busy recently."

Surprise flashed across Ji Linglan's eyes, she didn't expect that Lin Yongye would take the initiative to find a topic to chat, and said: "Yeah, I've been busy with the shop recently, and I was called into the palace by the emperor's grandfather just after I was free. I wonder if someone has tipped off his old man."

"You are the king of the county, and you are not short of money, why do you want to open a shop?"

"There is no one who dislikes a lot of money. Of course, the more the better." Seeing that Lin Yongye obviously didn't believe it, Ji Linglan said with a smile: "Yes, I'm telling the truth. Cousin, it's actually because I don't like the court, and the relationship between people There are too many intrigues and intrigues, which is very annoying. But I always have to find something to do, so I opened this shop."

"Grandfather brought you by his side, you should know what it means."

"I know, but I also expressed my attitude to the emperor's grandfather. I don't want that position. I just want to live a simple life and stay with the people who love me and the people I love for the rest of my life." Ji Linglan didn't intend to hide it, she was straightforward Expressed his attitude to Lin Yongye.

Lin Yongye asked sharply: "Love? Ah Lan has someone he admires?"

"Well, there is." Speaking of this, the image of Fu Nanling automatically appeared in Ji Linglan's mind.

Lin Yongye looked at Ji Linglan silently for a while, and said: "Then who is the person Ah Lan admires?"

"Cousin, I'm sorry, it can't be made public yet. When the time is right, I will introduce him to my cousin."

Lin Yongye's eyes darkened, and he didn't speak any more.

The two came to the imperial dining room, looking at the ingredients in front of them, Ji Linglan asked casually: "What would my cousin want to eat?"

"Hot pot, I haven't eaten for a long time."

"OK, then let's eat hot pot."

Looking at Ji Linglan's busy figure, Lin Yongye's stagnant eyes slowly began to ripple.
