Chapter 695 Has Been Shaved Into a Square Inch by Liu Wei
After all, it was the princess's body that was well cared for even after death.
Liu Wei looked at the beautiful girl who was fully clothed, her eyes were closed, her hands were naturally placed on her abdomen, her expression was calm, and her mouth was smiling, as if she was sleeping rather than dead. She sighed, and then reached out to lift the deceased's eyelid.
Princess Qinyang said she had been dead for two days, but because the body was well taken care of, it looked as if she had just died.
After being left in the ice room for two days, it was difficult to estimate the time of death, but Liu Wei knew just by looking at the body that the time of death was no longer important.
"Sir, how are you?" Liu Wei looked at her for a long time, and finally reached out to touch the princess. Eunuch Hang felt that this behavior was disrespectful to the princess, frowned, and couldn't help but ask.
Speaking of which, the eldest palace maid in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who had handled the most corpses, could not see anything wrong with Princess Qinyang's body. However, Master Liu just touched it here and there, looking as if he was taking advantage of the princess. Is it possible that there are any other clues that can be found?
Liu Wei can really figure out things.
"There are many problems." Liu Wei said, changed direction, and walked to the other side of the body.
Several eunuchs looked at each other in confusion, but in the end it was the young eunuch who followed the father-in-law who was the most anxious and asked: "What is the problem? Sir, please tell me quickly."
Liu Wei glanced at the eunuchs, lowered his head and said: "Let's talk about each part of the corpse one by one. First of all, the lips of the corpse are normal in color, the eyeballs are normal, the skin color is normal, and the auricles have no obvious swelling caused by poisoning. In summary, , I first boldly ruled out the possibility of poisoning. Then, I examined the princess’s limbs, and after pressing the princess’s chest, lungs, abdomen and other easily fatal organs, I found that there were no signs of damage. This means that , perhaps we can also rule out the possibility of death from internal injuries. In this way, after poisoning and internal injuries are eliminated, what is left? Naturally, it is external injuries. But it is clear at a glance that the princess's body is very complete, and no wounds can be seen on her body. So, it seems The trauma door is blocked again, but how can a person die without external injuries, internal injuries, or poisoning?"
"Yeah, how is that possible?" Eunuch Xiang, the little eunuch, also echoed, scratching his head, confused: "Then how did the princess die?"
Liu Wei added: "Judging from the princess's expression, if you look carefully, you can find that when the princess died, she actually did not feel much pain. If she faced being killed under a mental abnormality, then No matter how weird the princess's spirit was, the details of her expression, such as the corners of her mouth and the end of her eyebrows, should have been twitching, but they didn't happen now. This means that the princess died very suddenly, so suddenly that she had no time to react, and at that time, The princess's mood is still in a relatively excited state. As for the reason for the princess' excitement, I boldly guess that it is most likely that the princess saw the rescuers when she was being threatened or attacked by the murderer, so the princess naturally started to She was so happy that she started to laugh, but before the rescuers could save her, the murderer had already killed her so quickly that even she didn't expect it, so she didn't even have time to change the look of horror on her face."
reinforcement?
Is this possible?
Xiao Qizi listened and felt that it was not very reliable. He frowned and said: "Master Liu, if it is like what you said, what did the murderer use to kill the princess? In the end, Master Liu, he didn't Tell me clearly what the cause of the princess’s death was.”
Several other eunuchs also nodded.
Except for Eunuch Xiang, from the beginning to the end, he stared at Liu Wei with an obscure look, without any expression on his face.
Liu Wei put her hand on Princess Qinyang's forehead, touched it, then patted the princess's head gently and said, "Give me a knife."
Everyone was stunned.
Liu Wei said: "Don't you want to know the cause of death? Then give me a knife quickly!"
Several eunuchs looked at Liu Wei with suspicion. Finally, Xiao Qizi, who had heard about Liu Wei's exhumation of the body, couldn't help but ask: "Sir, are you going to exhume the princess's body? No, the princess's body is precious. How can someone be so cruel? If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely not agree!"
Liu Wei frowned.
The little Qizi was still saying: "Besides, didn't your lord just say that the princess was not injured internally or poisoned, so why do you have to dig the princess open? In short, if the lord insists on digging up the princess in such a disrespectful way, I have no choice but to go back." By the way, please let the emperor decide!"
This little Qi Zi spoke with a righteous voice, as if he was going to break up with Liu Wei at any time and the fight would be fought to the death.
Liu Wei looked at Xiao Qizi for a while and then said: "Why do you talk so much nonsense! When did I say I wanted to dissect the princess?"
Xiao Qizi was stunned and looked at Liu Wei in astonishment.
Liu Wei said: "Since the princess died of trauma, what will I do if I dissect the princess?"
trauma?
Xiao Qizi called out: "Didn't Sir just say that it was not a trauma?"
"I'm just talking about looks, not trauma."
"What difference does that make?"
"It looks like it's not, but actually it is. That's the biggest difference!"
Xiao Qizi: "..."
Liu Wei was too lazy to talk nonsense with the eunuch. He stretched out his hand and looked at Eunuch Hang: "Knife."
Eunuch Hang hesitated for a moment and asked uncertainly: "Do you really think you will not desecrate the princess's body?"
Liu Wei thought for a moment and said, "I can promise not to touch an inch of the princess's skin."
In fact, Eunuch Hang still didn't trust Liu Wei very much, but the other party assured him that he was an official of the imperial court and personally ordered by the emperor. Eunuch Hang didn't dare to be too presumptuous. After hesitation, he sent the young eunuch to get a handful. Here comes the clean silver knife.
Liu Wei took the silver knife. Under the wide-eyed and alert gazes of several eunuchs, Liu Wei held the knife in one hand and stroked the soft black hair of Princess Qinyang with the other. Then, as soon as it was said, Liu Wei suddenly Wei raised the knife and dropped it.
When he raised the silver knife again, he already held a cut of the princess's hair in his hand.
other people:"……"
Then, the eunuchs watched helplessly as Liu Wei cut, then cut, and then again, all the while cutting the princess's black hair.
Xiao Qizi couldn't stand it anymore and rushed to stop her: "Sir, what are you going to do? Didn't you say you won't touch the princess even an inch?"
"This is your hair, not your body!" Liu Wei said calmly.
Then he used some strength to push Xiao Qizi away who was in the way.
Before Xiao Qizi could pounce on him again, Liu Wei grabbed the princess's head, which was shaved like a dog's gnaw, and said coldly: "Is this case being solved by me or you?"
Liu Wei's words were to remind these people that he was here under the emperor's order, but their obstruction was unjust and unreasonable.
Xiao Qizi paused for a moment, out of breath, and said with a trembling voice: "The emperor will definitely not let you go if he knows about it!"
Liu Wei remained expressionless and continued to cut the princess's hair.
In the end, Eunuch Hang stepped forward, held down Xiao Qizi, and whispered: "Don't be anxious. Since I said you were ordered by the emperor, if something goes wrong, I will let you take care of it yourself. It's up to us." I have persuaded everything that needs to be persuaded and said everything that needs to be said. It is because the adults are stubborn and insistent on doing things their own way. What does it have to do with us."
"That's what I said, but..." Xiao Qizi was still unhappy. As the apprentice of the chief steward Qi Fu, he was the one who served in front of the emperor. If he didn't call him "Eunuch Qi" when he saw him, how could he have ever been touched by anyone in this palace? Treat him lightly, that is, the emperor is very tolerant to him.
But now, the new adult not only ignored his advice, but also pushed him, which really made him so angry that his chest hurt.
Xiao Qizi wanted to say something else, but Eunuch Hang simply pulled Xiao Qizi aside to talk.
While the two were whispering, Eunuch Xiang suddenly walked to the jade bed. He stood next to Liu Wei, staring at Liu Wei's hand that cut the princess's hair strands.
Feeling someone approaching, Liu Wei raised his eyes and glanced, and this glance happened to meet the eyes of Eunuch Xiang.
Liu Wei couldn't help but ask: "Eunuch Xiang also wants to persuade me to stop?"
"I'm afraid it's too late to advise." Eunuch Xiang glanced at the princess's hair that could no longer be seen, and said, "As you know, Princess Qinyang grew up under the doting of the Dowager Empress. She has been the Dowager Empress since she was a child. The reason why the concubine returned to the palace early is because she is the princess."
Hearing this, Liu Wei cut her hair and said, "Two days after the princess died, the Dowager Empress received the news. It seems that the Dowager Empress was not cultivating in the Ende Temple in the south of the Yangtze River as rumored by the outside world."
Xiang Gonggong smiled: "That's just a rumor from the outside world. The Dowager Empress has been in Kyoto, and Ende Temple is indeed Ende Temple. However, it is not Chunzhou in Jiangnan, but the one outside the city in the suburbs of Beijing. By the way, Ende Temple is that temple." The former name and current name of the temple is Guanyuan Temple.”
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment: "It's actually Guanyuan Temple. I don't know. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, the day when the temple celebrates the holy ceremony, the faithful men and women who go to Guanyuan Temple to offer incense and worship know that our current emperor's biological mother is... It’s within the courtyard wall that’s so close.”
Emperor Qianling's hair was gray and his eyes were cloudy. It could be said that he was already half-footed in the coffin.
And the Queen Mother died early. In this world, few people go back to find out whether the Emperor's biological mother is still alive in this world?
In fact, it is still there.
Although for some unknown reason, Emperor Qianling did not crown his biological mother and support her as the new empress dowager after the death of the former empress dowager, but Emperor Qianling's biological mother, Princess Yuan, was indeed alive and well.
This concubine gave birth to Emperor Qian Ling when she was fifteen years old. She is already eighty-three this year, but she is still strong and healthy. It is said that she has no illness or pain, and she likes to play around when she has nothing to do.
Rumors from the outside world say that the Dowager Empress practiced Buddhism in the Ende Temple in the south of the Yangtze River. She has been serving Buddha for many years, so her life has been prolonged. However, Liu Wei has been in Qujiang Prefecture for many years, and due to work needs, he has been to Chunzhou and entered the Ende Temple, but I never felt that a concubine lived there.
Liu Wei thought at that time that the concubine was either dead or not at Ende Temple at all.
As for why the rumors were left at Gangnam Endoku Temple, it is unknown.
But now, after listening to Eunuch Xiang, Liu Wei understood.
Come to think of it, there was no conspiracy, it was just rumors spreading about the person who confused Endoku Temple in Kyoto with Jiangnan.
Speaking of Kanyuanji Temple, it can be said to be the number one temple in Kyoto.
Liu Wei used a trick to return to the Liu family and had a "chance encounter" with Mrs. Liu at Guanyuan Temple. At that time, Liu Wei did not expect that there was a concubine here.
There are many rumors about this concubine. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a discussion about whether the concubine is dead or alive. Some say she is dead. After all, she is eighty-three years old. At this age, in ancient times, it was almost auspicious. to the point.
Some people say that those who are not dead are, after all, believers in Buddhism, and the Lord Buddha will always give preferential treatment to his believers.
This is why, after the jade girl Princess Yuping appeared in front of the Buddha, the royal family praised it so much.
Liu Wei didn't understand at the time why a young princess believed in Buddhism so deeply at such a young age. Now it seems that there is a precedent.
It seems that Princess Yuping is also a very thoughtful person. She followed the example of the concubine and followed the path of the concubine. She also understands that in this palace, only by hugging the concubine's thigh can she achieve anything.
However, Princess Yuping did not live long after all. Thinking of the body that was still placed in Jing Zhaoyin's place, and looking at the body of Princess Qinyang now, Liu Weide said, indeed, in this palace, a place where daughters are more valuable than mothers.
In the end of Princess Yuping's short and hard-working life, she gained nothing, and she died miserably.
The concubine was in the outskirts of Beijing. She came back after just two steps without asking anything.
Princess Qinyang had just died two days ago, and the Dowager Empress actually went back to the palace herself, just to seek justice for Princess Qinyang.
I wonder if Princess Yuping knew this, she would be unwilling to accept it.
With a sigh, in the blink of an eye, Princess Qinyang's head had been shaved into a square shape by Liu Wei.
Eunuch Hang and Xiao Qizi, who had finished muttering, looked back and saw that they were so angry that they almost didn't want to scold Liu Wei bloody on the spot.
But Liu Wei was very calm. She grabbed the back of the knife, put the blade close to the princess's scalp, controlled the force, and scraped gently. Suddenly, the princess's head was bald.
Xiao Qizi couldn't stand any longer. He supported Eunuch Hang and gasped in anger.
Liu Wei ignored the little girl and continued to shave. After three shaves, the top of the princess's head was exposed. When she saw the scarlet wound hidden under the hair, the ice room became quiet.
Liu Wei continued to shave her hair, and after a while, the princess was completely shaved.
If one had blindly respected the princess's body, there would never have been any discovery.
Liu Wei brushed away the stubble on Princess Qinyang's head, and saw the red and white wound in the middle of Princess Qinyang's head, which was even more shocking for a moment.
