    Yuwen Zhantian then asked: "What then?"

    Speaking of what happened that day, remembering that her mother and second sister died so tragically, Concubine Baili Hui burst into tears, her heart wrenched with grief, and said in a hoarse voice: "I slept for about half an hour. When I woke up,  , Luzhu told me that my mother and my second sister felt unwell, so I left the palace and returned home first. I never thought that that day would be the last time I saw my mother and my second sister"

    She cried uncontrollably, grieving endlessly.

    "Lv Zhu, who was standing aside, quickly handed over the silk handkerchief. She took it and wiped her tears, "Your Highness, you must find out the truth, capture the murderer, and let your mother and second sister die in peace"

    "I will investigate thoroughly." Yuwen Zhantian said solemnly.

    "Mrs. Baili and Miss Baili came back from the palace, but they were actually killed in the palace, right?" Murong Ci asked clearly. He had briefly talked to her on the way into the palace.

    "It should be so." Concubine Baili Hui sniffed, her voice hoarse, "After nightfall, my father saw that my mother and second sister had not returned home. He was worried about their safety and sent someone to the palace to inquire Only then did I know that,  Mother and second sister never returned home"

    Murong Ci knew a little about what happened next.

    Concubine Baili Hui sent guards and palace officials to look for Mrs. Baili and the second lady in the palace. Taiwei Baili also sent people to inquire at the homes of relatives and friends, and even searched over and over again on the road from the palace to the Taiwei's Mansion.  .  At midnight, the guards found two people lying dead in a deserted place in the northwest corner of the palace. They were Mrs. Baili and the second young lady.

    "According to the autopsy conducted by the imperial doctor and the imperial physician, Mrs. Baili and the second lady's faces and chests were scarred beyond recognition, and they should have been pecked by crows.

    Yuwen Zhantian also said that many crows often flew into the palace to look for food in the northwest corner of the palace. It was those crows that pecked Madam Baili and the second lady to death.

    Murong Ci thought for a long time, and then asked: "Concubine Hui, please think carefully, was there any difference between Madam Baili and the Second Miss on the day of the incident? Or was there anything unusual that happened here that day?"

    Concubine Baili Hui thought about it seriously and shook her head.

    "Who was the palace servant serving Madam Baili and the Second Young Lady in the side hall that day?" Murong Ci continued to ask.

    "Yes" Concubine Baili Hui looked at Luzhu.

    ¡°Mother, it¡¯s Pinellia ternata.¡± Luzhu replied.

    "Go and call Pinellia ternata." Concubine Baili Hui said.

    Not long after, Banxia came and knelt on the ground to reply.

    Yuwen Zhantian said coldly and sternly: "If what you say is true, I will break your legs."

    She was trembling with fear, her eyes full of fear, "I will answer truthfully."

    Murong Ci asked coldly: "What did Madam Baili and the Second Young Lady do when they rested in the side hall that day?"

    Banxia trembled in fear, resting her arms on the ground, trembling violently, "It's nothing Mrs. Baili and the second lady were drinking tea and chatting in the side hall Not long after, the slave suddenly felt unwell and went to the latrine came back  After that, Mrs. Baili and the second lady were no longer in the side hall"

    "So, you don't know what happened in the side hall that day?" Yuwen Zhantian asked coldly.

    "I really don't know Your Highness, spare your life" She begged for mercy in fear, stammering, "By the way, when I ran to the latrine I bumped into Xiao Liuzi, he can testify for me If Your Highness  If you don¡¯t believe it, you can ask him¡­¡±

    "I will find out on my own," he said coldly.

    "When you came back, was the side hall empty?" Murong Ci asked.

    Banxia nodded as if pounding garlic, and her body trembled violently.

    She nodded to him, and then he let Banxia go out.  Then Xiao Liuzi was summoned. Indeed, Banxia bumped into him when he ran to the latrine, and the two exchanged a few words.

    Concubine Baili Hui frowned deeply, "So, no one knows when my mother and second sister left."

    Murong resigned and smiled, "Summoning the guards who were guarding outside the palace gate that day."

    However, the strange thing is that the two guards insisted that Mrs. Baili and the second young lady did not go out through the main entrance.

    Yuwen Zhantian was puzzled, "How did Mrs. Baili and the Second Miss leave Hehuan Hall?"

    Lu Zhu guessed: "Could it be that the madam and the second young lady can fly?"

    Concubine Baili Hui glanced at her, "How is this possible?"

    Murong Ci¡¯s eyes flickered and he asked, ¡°Does Hehuan Hall have a small door or a corner door?¡±

    "Yes. There is a small door on the west side."

    "They should have gone out through the small door. As for whether they went out by themselves or were taken out by others,Shao Qian, the minister's minister, received them warmly, but he felt strange why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked a young counselor to help investigate the murder case?  Could it be that this counselor has extraordinary abilities?

    Murong Ci first read the autopsy records and then inspected the body.

    Because of the cold weather, the body was well preserved and did not rot much after three days.  Mrs. Baili and Thyme Rui's faces were so scarred that they were beyond recognition. There were also a lot of peck wounds on their upper chests, which were so horrific that even their cotton robes were pecked torn.

    "Did you see anything about Mr. Jade?" Shao Qian asked deliberately, wanting to know how much ability he had.

    "Have any new clues been found on the corpse?" Yuwen Zhantian also wanted to know.

    "The fingernails of the deceased Mrs. Baili and Thyme Rui are basically intact, but there are scratches on both hands." Murong Ci looked at the hand holding Thyme Rui carefully, and then looked at her eyes, "The eyes of the deceased"

    "What's wrong with your eyes?" he asked anxiously.

    "The deceased's eyes should have been wide open before, and then his eyes were closed." She said decisively, "Judging from the pupils, the deceased was frightened before death, and maybe he was frightened to death."

    "Scared to death?" Shao Qian disagreed. He knew in his heart that he had no ability. He couldn't help but despise him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "The imperial doctor and the widow made an examination and found that the two deceased people were pecked to death by crows."

    "Master Shao, I'm just guessing." Murong Ci smiled slightly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
