Chapter 187, Guess
evidence, evidence.
Xinyi's brain was dull, and he didn't have any clue for a while, until he finished everything with Wen Xing, and finally fed the old lady a few mouthfuls of medicinal soup. When it was time to go to bed, she was still very ignorant.
Now it can be concluded that the Second Highness is going to harm him, but a cautious person like Mu Fangjin... How can he let others poison the elixir and be exploited?
The night wind blew and suddenly opened the window lattice, which shocked the two people in the room. Wen Xing woke up and hurriedly got up to close the window, as if she had recited a few Buddhist scriptures.
I wonder if it may be the return of Linger's soul.
Although Xinyi was a little scared to read here, he realized in a flash that such a scene at night evoked a memory.
Yes, this batch of golden elixir that had problems was refined after Mufu was robbed that night... that is to say... that is to say! Maybe those thieves didn't come to steal at all... but to poison?
Thinking of this, Xinyi suddenly sat up and his heart throbbed.
It is not unreasonable to think so. When Yongmingyan died, people still used the magnolia sachet, which was their own. And the reason why I didn't see... is that Yongmingyan came that night!
If it hadn't been for Mu Fangjin's understanding of his bones, it would have been impossible to deliberately induce him to check the abnormality of the elixir - and then lead you into the urn step by step! Although the raw materials of alchemy are in the dark cabinet, but... According to the relationship between Yong Mingyan and Mu Fangjin, how can they not know where to put the key!
"Xinyi, what's wrong with you?" Wen Xing seemed to be a little scared when she saw her appearance: "What's wrong?"
"It's Yongming geese... Yongming geese..." Xin Yimo was stunned and repeated his name: "It's the poison under Yongming geese!"
At this time, when she heard her nightmare, Wen Xing also hurried over and said, "What are you talking about? What's wrong? What did you think of?"
Xinyi lowered his head, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt cold: "Yong Mingyan... It's the second son, he poisoned!"
"How come!" Wen Xing was also surprised: "The relationship between the second son and our son is like a brother. How could he want to harm the prince?"
"You don't understand the secret..." Xinyi looked at her in a blink of an eye, frowned and replied, "The second son found something in the middle... He determined that the prince was related to his death father's hatred, so he broke off his friendship with the prince."
Wen Xing obviously didn't know the reason. After hearing Xin Yi's words, she nodded.
"Moreover, Yong Mingyan is known as a magic doctor. If it is reasonable to poison... he may really be good at it." Thinking of this, she hesitated to lower her head: "But now that Yong Mingyan is dead, it is even more difficult to confirm this matter..."
"I probably understand. You mean that the second son was poisoned, but now he is dead and there is no proof of his death?"
"Yong Mingyan must have poisoned the raw materials at that time! If you can thoroughly investigate the raw materials...maybe..."
"But... now the courtyard of alchemy is locked, and the officers and soldiers are guarding that people are not allowed to enter. I'm afraid we... don't have a chance." Wen Xing knew the situation in the afternoon and broke it in one word.
At first, the whole courtyard should have been blocked. It was precisely because someone guarded the small courtyard that they could continue to live in the East Mansion, right?
But in this case, if there is no evidence... isn't it impossible to prove his innocence!
Seeing her depressed again, Wen Xing quickly reached out and stroked her back: "Don't be so depressed. I believe he will be fine. The prince also has many previous friends. If you follow him, don't you have some connections? There will always be someone to help him.
Although Xinyi responded, he finally lay down **, listening to the spring rain, and stayed up all night.
In the morning of the second day, while Wen Xing was rushing to give the old lady medicine and water, someone came in a hurry. There was a rapid knock on the door outside, which shocked Xinyi, who was sitting in front of the old lady's bed. The alchemy yard in Dongfu is guarded by officers and soldiers in turn, so these days, the gate is just empty, and it is not surprising that someone suddenly broke in.
She was really scared by yesterday's incident and hesitated for a while before opening the door - "Mr. He!?"
Mr. He outside the door saw that it was her who opened the door, but he was relieved: "Oh, I heard about you last night and came early this morning... Xinyi, are you all right?"
"What can I do..." She subconsciously looked back at the unconscious old lady, "It's just... about the Mu family..."
He Zhigao lowered his head and sighed slightly: "I'm sorry, even if it's in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I didn't know about this before." He looked at Xinyi and said, "I don't think you look well... I'm afraid it's his business that makes you very sad."
She didn't say anything, just shook her head.
"I can think of how hard you have worked. If such a thing happened to Brother Mu Xian, I, a brother, can't stand by... Unlike Lord Li and others, my official position is small and it is easy to be ignored in the court. It doesn't matter if I come to help you. If there is any difficulty, you can talk to me.
"I have received your kindness... It's just Mr. He, I want to know what's going on? Who...who said he poisoned it?"
"I don't know much about the details. I heard that it was not long before the emperor took the golden elixir and the emperor violated the Eucharist. When he called the imperial doctor to visit him, the imperial doctor said that it was caused by poisoning... Another Jindan was found poisonous."
"Is it possible that Jin Dan was tamped when he was in custody or presented to the emperor?"
He Zhigao shook his head slowly: "This is impossible. Even if there is... put it in the emperor, he will not believe it."
"If it's really Jindan's problem... I suspect that Yong Mingyan has been poisoned..."
"Yong Magic Doctor?" He Zhigao took a deep breath when he mentioned the name: "Didn't he die a few months ago? His head was hanging at the gate for several days..." When he said this, he saw that her face was getting worse and worse, and then he stopped: "So you mean... the raw materials were tampered with by the Yongshen doctor from the beginning? Normally... if it is roasted in the Dan stove for seven or 49 days, the poison effect should be nothing..."
"But he is at least proficient in medicine." Xinyi recalled, "At that time, A Jin also suspected that there was something wrong with the raw materials, but he just looked at it... and sniffed it again, and felt that there was nothing abnormal, so he used the previous raw materials to refine the golden elixir again." She frowned: "Colorless and tasteless, can it still be toxic at high temperatures? Few people in the world can refine this kind of poison, right?
"It seems that you already have some eyebrows."
"So... you have to tell me what to do next and how to tell these things... who should I tell?" When Xinyi thought of this, his mind was dizzy and not easy to use.
Seeing this, He Zhigao advised first: "Don't worry, even if you are in a hurry, it's useless. I think you should wait a few days and make plans in a few days. After all, the emperor is angry at this time, and no one dares to open this mouth.
Xinyi lowered his head and said nothing.
"Now Mu Xiandi is imprisoned in the heavenly prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, because at least he is also a senior official from the third grade. You don't have to worry about eating and living. Although the conditions in the prison are a little worse, they are far better than ordinary prisons. In the heavenly prison, that place is so strict that even a fly can't fly in, and you don't have to worry about his safety. When He Zhigao saw that she didn't speak, he said, "Xinyi, although I'm just a small master of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and usually can't say anything, I can see these files and other matters... If you want to know, I won't hide it from you."
She nodded hesitantly: "Thank you for that alone."
"Where..." He said and looked into the room again: "How's the old lady?"
"It's not good." Xinyi looked back and said, "After I fell into a coma yesterday, it's useless for the doctor to look at it. You can see that it's the same today..." Then she turned around: "I'm afraid the old lady has been hit, and the situation is really not good."
After listening, He Zhigao also sighed: "I also heard that... when I raided the house yesterday, the Mrs. Wei...she..."
She nodded: "There's nothing I can do. Now Wen Xing and I are too busy to take care of the old lady. I really don't have the energy to think about finding her body. I can only let Wen Xing make a spiritual card... talk about it as an offering."
"Otherwise, you send the old lady to my house. I still have servants who can take care of her?"
"It still doesn't work." Xinyi shook his head: "It's not convenient for you to move out after Mr. Tian's marriage and rent a house in Beijing. Besides, I don't know how many eyes are staring at the Mu family now, and I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble anymore.
"That makes sense." He Zhigao also muttered, "If there are any difficulties, be sure to tell me that at least it can help you."
Xinyi squeezed his lips and nodded and said, "Okay, but your Ministry of Criminal Justice is busy, so you'd better go back early... In addition, if you have anything about this case, be sure to tell me in detail!"
"I can see how much you care about him." He Zhigao sighed for a long time: "Don't be too anxious. Brother Mu Xian has his own appearance, and he will be fine."
She wanted to say more, but she heard Wen Xing call her to say that the water was boiling, so she could only bless him, hurriedly stopped the conversation and rushed to make porridge with rice.
Three days in a row... As the weather warmed up, the old lady's condition became worse and worse. He can be in a coma for more than ten hours a day, but occasionally he can wake up for a while, but he still calls Mu Fangjin's name in a daze.
This matter has hit the old lady too hard. Presumably this disease... can't be cured so soon.
On the morning of the fourth day, there was still a fine spring rain outside the window. It was already mid-spring, but the weather was still very cool. Xinyi had just tuckle the quilt for the old lady, but saw Wen Xing to replace her.
