When Prince Sun wanted to marry Chen Ziling, he was looked down upon by his peers.
Later, she was tricked by Chen Ziling and became disabled. It was even more impossible to find a young lady of the same family background.
Originally, Mrs. Kaiyang Hou was not so anxious to find a concubine for him.
She planned to wait until the gust of wind passed.
Then plot slowly.
But her threats forced her to change her mind.
If Kaiyang Hou has other heirs.
The only person who can fight against him is his eldest grandson.
"These young ladies now are all picky." Seeing her tilting her head and looking over, Mrs. Kaiyang Hou sighed half-seriously, "Those with slightly better family backgrounds are afraid of avoiding our Houfu. Those with not so good family backgrounds I'm willing to do it for everyone. It's just that people always have to make mistakes and gain wisdom, so they can only choose slowly."
"Be careful and you won't make a big mistake." Chen Anning said, taking out a porcelain vase from his waist and passing it over, "This is my advance gift to Madam Hou. On the day of the grandson's marriage, during the wedding ceremony, let the grandson and the Taking one pill each for the imperial concubines can increase the probability of pregnancy.”
Can increase the probability of pregnancy!
Upon hearing these words, Mrs. Kaiyang Hou quickly took the porcelain bottle and stuffed it into her sleeve, and repeatedly instructed Aunt Zhou to take out the good tea she had collected.
"No need to bother." Chen Anning stood up, "I still have something to do, so I won't delay any more."
"When Miss Chen Er is free, please come to the Marquis' Mansion to sit for a while." Mrs. Kaiyang Marquis stood up and said.
Good luck to Chen Anning.
After sending her out and watching her drive away in a carriage, the smile on Mrs. Kaiyang Hou's face instantly faded.
Return to Zhengde Hall.
She took out the porcelain bottle in her sleeve, opened the cork, and looked at the only two pills inside. After her eyes moved vaguely, she ordered in a cold voice: "Go and bring that bitch to me!"
After coming out of Kaiyang Hou Mansion, Chen Anning softened his body, leaned on the pillow, closed his eyes slightly and said, "Go to Chunhua Pavilion."
The carriage stopped in front of Chunhua Pavilion.
Chunhua Pavilion has been surrounded by government officials and is no longer open to the public.
But the fire of gossip has been ignited.
There are many people watching from far and near.
Chen Anning got off the carriage, glanced at the people around him, and then said quietly: "You two don't have to follow me."
Chun Rui and Chuntao stopped and responded in unison.
After watching her enter Chunhua Pavilion, Chuntao said: "I'll stay here, and you should go back to the eldest princess's mansion as soon as possible and report the emperor's marriage to Nanny Li."
Chun Rui didn't object. She stayed for a moment and after confirming that Chen Anning would not be back soon, she quickly got into the crowd and ran towards the eldest princess' mansion.
Qiushi Hall is also guarded by government officials.
But perhaps because of Xie Xun's orders, no one came to stop Chen Anning.
Chen Anning walked to the hole leading to the darkroom, knelt down and took a look inside, then asked the officer next to him: "Is there anyone in there?"
The officer said: "Yes."
Chen Anning jumped into the hole and slid towards the dark room.
When the two government officials guarding the entrance to the dark room heard the noise, they immediately turned their torches towards them.
Seeing that it was her, he clasped his hands and saluted, then turned back.
"Where was that maid killed?" Chen Anning looked back at the cave entrance and asked, "Is the body still there?"
"It's right in front, the body is still there." One of the government officials pointed forward, "Please lead Miss Chen Er over."
Chen Anning followed him, walked about five feet away, and then stopped.
The officer took two steps back and pointed the torch forward, "It's right here."
Chen Anning looked in the direction of the torch.
Seven or eight steps away.
One of Zhao Ying's maids was lying on her back.
The maid's eyes were still open, and she seemed to be in disbelief.
There were four sharp wounds on the maid's chest.
Judging from the area of the ground soaked in blood, the maid's back may also have been injured by a sharp blade.
Judging from the bloody footprints in front of the corpse's feet, the murderer was behind the maid's back.
He took the torch from the yamen servant and shined it in the direction he came from.
The darkrooms are all made of compacted earth.
This book is the perfect carrier for footprints and other traces.
But the yamen's walking back and forth had obviously destroyed all the evidence.
"Your Majesty has ordered us to only operate in this area," the Yamen servant seemed to notice her dissatisfaction and quickly explained, "We have never been to this area."
The explanation was really timely, otherwise she would have started to despise Xie Xun's professional ability.
After squatting in front of the bloody footprints and roughly measuring the size of the footprints with his hands, Chen Anning squatted in front of the corpse, took off the jade hairpin from his head, and probed into the wounds one by one.
After that, he asked the Yamen servant to turn the body over, check the injuries on the back, and then use the jade hairpin to explore them one by one.
There were a total of seven wounds before and after.
The fatal wound was in the chest area of the chest.
Judging from the depth of the wound and the bleeding, he died from a ruptured heart.
The trend of the seven wounds is from top to bottom, and the angle is about sixty degrees.
Based on the height of the maid, the murderer's height was probably between five feet two and five feet three.
The feet are about seven and a half inches long.
If the murderer is a man.
Given his height, his feet are slightly smaller than those of an average man.
This is a rather striking feature.
Judging from the length and width of the wound, the murder weapon should be a double-edged dagger about seven inches and two inches long and one and two inches wide.
After wiping the jade hairpin on the body, Chen Anning stood up and walked forward along the bloody footprints.
Soon she came to a darkroom.
Perhaps because of the lack of air circulation, there was still an obscene smell floating around the darkroom.
Chen Anning endured the discomfort and stood at the door of the darkroom, holding up the torch and looking inside.
The darkroom is less than ten square meters.
There is a simple wooden bed against the innermost wall.
The wooden bed was covered with simple mattresses and quilts.
The mattress and quilt were all messy, and there were still unknown stains on them.
Chen Anning raised her feet and walked in with a cold look on her face.
Just as the yamen servant was about to follow, he heard her say: "Just wait outside."
The yamen servant stopped and stood obediently at the door.
Chen Anning followed the bloody footprints to the bed, looked at the stains and hair on the mattress and quilt, and sighed with regret.
In modern times, the murderer could be caught and brought to justice based on these traces alone.
It's a pity that this is ancient times.
He took out the handkerchief, wrapped his hand, picked up the quilt and threw it aside.
There was a jade pendant left in the corner of the mattress.
In the other corner, there is a golden walking wave and two jade hairpins scattered.
The jade pendant is a women's model, and I am not sure who it belongs to.
But Chen Anning had seen the golden walking stick and the two jasper hairpins on Zhao Ying's head, so they were definitely hers.
After collecting the jade pendant, Jin Bu Yao and jade hairpin, and making sure that there was no other valuable evidence on the bed, Chen Anning's eyes fell on the footprints on the ground.
In addition to the blood footprints and the same type of footprints as the blood footprints, there are four other types of footprints of different sizes on the ground.
Five people.
Chen Anning's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
If she hadn't known that Chen Ziling and Zhao Ying had bad intentions, then she would have been the one being insulted here!
She sneered silently twice, and after measuring the other four types of footprints one by one, she raised the torch again, followed the less obvious bloody footprints out of the darkroom, and continued walking forward.
