Dafeng's Night Squad - Chapter 361
361 General medical knowledge (1)
Huaiqing’s brows furrowed slightly. Following Xu Qi ‘an’s movements, she looked at the dull yellow silk cloth. Her cold voice was mixed with anxiety.”What did you find?”
Xu Qi ‘an shrugged. I guess the secret is in this cloth. But I don’t know what kind of secret it is.
Huaiqing’s beautiful eyes flashed with a “?” She didn’t understand why he had said it so powerfully just now.
!!
Wei Yuan’s gaze fell on the yellow silk cloth and he said, “”This is the material that only the concubines of the third rank and above can use.”
The concubines in the palace also had ranks. At the top were the Empress, the Imperial Noble Consort, and the noble consort. Consort Fu, who had a fixed title, was of the first rank.
Further down, the Madame, noble concubines, Zhaoyi, and so on were all within the primary three ranks.
Xu Qi ‘an didn’t know much about the ranking system of the harem, but it wasn’t a big problem. He asked, “”So, how could a Palace maid have this kind of material?”
it’s either a reward from a noble, “the fourth prince replied. or it was stolen.
Xu Qi ‘an nodded.
Wei Yuan took the dull and aged yellow silk cloth and examined it, ” the spring of the 31st year of yuanjing …
did anything happen this year? this humble servant is referring to the palace. An idea came to Xu Qi ‘an, and he directly asked if anything major had happened that year.
This was the inspiration he got from the last time the Empress was deposed.
Year 13 of yuanjing, the Empress was banished to the cold Palace.
The following year, Wei Yuan went to war and triumphed over the barbarians in the North. The Empress came out of the cold Palace. If Xu Qi ‘an didn’t know about this, he could only guess that Emperor yuanjing pardoned the Empress because of their old friendship.
Therefore, the material left behind by the palace maid Huang xiaorou was embroidered with the 31st year of yuanjing. Perhaps he could find clues from the Chronicle of the year.
Wei Yuan and huaiqing shook their heads.
“Think again?” Xu Qi ‘an was unwilling to give up.
The two of them still shook their heads.
Alright, with two straight-a students working together to reject it, there was most likely no hope … That’s right, how could a mere Palace maid be related to such a major event?
Xu Qi ‘an licked his lips in excitement.
The investigation of Consort Fu’s case had finally entered a difficult mode. The previous clues were all deliberately thrown out by the mastermind behind the scenes, so the case itself was not difficult.
In other words, even if he didn’t take over the case, someone else could find out. The only difference was how long it would take.
Now, after jumping out of the guidance of the mastermind, it was finally Xu baichen’s turn to show his skills.
Wait …
Xu Qi ‘an suddenly thought of a detail that he had overlooked.
He straightened his back and said with a serious expression, “”Duke of Wei, I have something to ask you.”
Seeing that little Gong, whom he appreciated, was so serious, Wei Yuan put down his teacup and said gently, “”Speak,” he said.
“Before this humble servant returned to the capital, the fu Fei case had been delayed, and the three departments were unwilling to investigate. If I’m really dead, will this case be confirmed to be the crown prince’s doing?”
At first, Xu Qi ‘an thought that the three divisions were unwilling to take over the case because it involved too many people. It was not until he was resurrected that he took over the hot potato.
When he had met the Crown Prince that day, the chief of the Supreme Court had also secretly mocked him for being a pawn.
Wei Yuan picked up his teacup again and took a sip, “”Today, His Majesty wants to depose of the Empress, but the three departments and the Lords do not agree. They think that we should first let the three departments confirm it before discussing the depose. It shouldn’t be His Majesty crippling him just like that.
“There are only three points in your mind:First, the matter of dethroning the Empress was of great importance, and he had to go through the process and not be rash. Second, the Dukes loathed this sudden incident, which made them feel that they did not have enough control over the court. Third, they need time to think about what to do after they depose the Empress.”
That was why it was said that the ruler and his subjects had always been on the same side since ancient times … Xu Qi ‘an understood. so, the crown prince’s matter is the same? ”
Wei Yuan nodded. the Crown Prince is a matter of national importance. Your Majesty, you can’t just give us three days. It’s not that the three divisions don’t want to investigate, but they want to tell His Majesty that they need time.”
“…… So, there’s no need for me at all. Even if I didn’t come back, someone would take over the case in a few days. Then, according to the clues given by the murderer behind the scenes, we can trace it step by step until we reach the Empress.”
Xu Qi ‘an’s words made the fourth Prince’s eyes widen in surprise.
Wei Yuan was deep in thought.
“So, you were assassinated last night because the person behind the scenes did not want you to investigate further. He’s afraid.” Princess huaiqing hit the nail on the head and voiced the guess in Xu Qian’s heart.
“Afraid?” The fourth prince was confused.
“Lord Xu’s resurrection was beyond the expectations of the person behind the scenes. His reputation was too great, and the person behind the scenes didn’t dare to let him continue investigating. As such, when the clues pointed to Imperial mother, the person behind the scenes immediately sent out an assassin, intending to eliminate Lord Xu.”
Huaiqing explained to his brother.
“I see.”
“Then how do we investigate now?” the fourth prince asked.
Wei Yuan and huaiqing didn’t say anything and looked at Xu Qi ‘an.
They were all very smart people, but the investigation still needed professionals.
Xu Qi ‘an often felt that his IQ was comparable to Einstein’s, but he had to admit that he was still a hundred million points away from making an atomic bomb. He had to rely on professional scientists.
Facing the gazes of the three people, the famous detective Xu ningyan said in a deep voice, “”I want to open the coffin and do an autopsy.”
………
The Imperial Palace.
The fourth Prince and Princess huaiqing led Xu Qi ‘an into the palace. As the carriage entered the palace, Xu Qi’ an lifted the curtain and suggested, ”
I still have to inform the eunuch. After all, this is a rule set by His Majesty.
The fourth prince thought for a moment and nodded. that’s right. Lord Xu is indeed a law-abiding person. You are loyal to the great Feng and to father.
