As a result, after knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered.
When the little eunuch hurriedly opened the door and entered, he found that the master and servant had already died for a long time.
His face was a little livid.
Looking at it, it seems...it seems that he died of poisoning.
Such a bizarre way of death naturally made Qin An feel very inappropriate.
All the time, everything was safe and sound in the palace, so why did he die not long after the emperor and others came to the palace?
The emperor probably thought of this too, so he didn't look very good.
After a moment of silence, he looked at Lin Xingzhi standing next to him and said seriously.
"Go and find someone to investigate. I want to know why she died?"
"Yes, I will obey your orders."
Lin Xingzhi strode away from Ruiyangxuan, Qin An followed closely behind.
The two of them were talking about this along the way.
"Isn't there anything special happening recently, concubine Ming?"
Qin An also frowned. He had been in charge of the palace affairs recently and had not made any mistakes.
Although Concubine Ming had some troubles due to her burns, she had already calmed down.
You don’t have to seek death now, do you?
So he shook his head, his face even uglier than Lin Xingzhi's.
"The general doesn't know something. I'm just afraid that the concubine Ming will not figure it out, so I pay special attention to the people in their yard. Yesterday they were all fine. Why did they disappear this morning when I went there? This really makes me think a lot.
I don’t know why?”
After hearing this, Lin Xingzhi suddenly felt that this matter was not simple.
I was afraid that some people were investigating, so while they were talking, everyone came to the courtyard where Ming Concubine was.
The environment is quiet and spacious both front and back.
This is the yard she specially changed after she was burned.
Originally, she was not qualified according to her original rank, but now it is more suitable to live in the concubine position.
Who would have known that not long after the life of this man of justice, he would be gone.
It's really a pity.
Qin An ordered people to impose martial law on both sides.
Including the young eunuch who was the first to discover the bodies of Ming Bin and Pei'er, Qin An also ordered people to take care of them.
Just in case there's something fishy inside.
Wu Zuo and the imperial doctors also hurried over at this time, and everyone's expressions were not very good.
After all, killing someone in the palace is not a good thing.
So, taking a deep breath, everyone walked in and began to search carefully.
Wu Zuo first walked to the deceased Ming Bing and the maid Pei'er and began to check.
I saw that the faces of their master and servant were a little livid.
It does look like he died of poisoning.
The imperial doctor was not idle either, and immediately checked the wine cups, wine bottles and other objects lying aside.
See if someone poisoned it.
Lin Xingzhi is not good at solving crimes, but he is very careful.
Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with Prince Zhan's Mansion.
So he was constantly checking every corner inside and outside the house.
Soon, the scattered cigarette powder was found in the grass in the corner.
Not much, but it looks a little white.
The wind probably hadn't picked up yet, so the object hadn't been blown away much.
Lin Xingzhi immediately called the imperial physician to take a look.
After the diagnosis, the imperial doctor said.
"General, this is the magic powder."
"Ecstasy?"
"Well, they are all vulgar things. They are not allowed in the palace. I don't know why these things appear outside the house of the concubine Ming."
"Can this thing cause poisoning and death?"
"I have never heard of this Wei Chen. After all, the Ecstasy is just as its name suggests. It is mainly a thing that confuses the mind. In addition, there are some calming ingredients in it. Maybe someone wants to use this thing to stun the empress Ming.
But I don’t know what the purpose is?”
The imperial doctor's words put Lin Xingzhi into another dilemma.
Who would be fascinated by a concubine who has fallen out of favor?
What is the purpose?
The appearance of this ecstasy made Mingbin's death become even more bizarre.
After Wu Zuo and the imperial physician jointly examined the matter, they both concluded that the concubine Ming had indeed died of poisoning.
But it wasn't because of drinking. No one had tampered with the wine.
Then why?
Just when there was a lot of commotion here and Lin Xingzhi was frowning, He Changzai next door was in a panic.
"It's not me, it's not me. I just want her to shut up. I don't want to kill her! How could it be possible? How could it be possible?"
She was obviously also frightened by the news of Ming's death.
When I woke up early in the morning, I felt like I had a good night's sleep.
Unexpectedly, just after finishing breakfast, I heard something moving next door.
After asking Qiao Xin to go out and make inquiries, she found out that something had happened to Concubine Ming.
Although she has not done anything to the concubines, if someone finds out what happened to her, they will not be able to bear the consequences!
Then he grabbed Qiao Xin and asked in a low voice.
"Did we bring the Ecstasy Powder from home? Didn't mother say it would only make people temporarily comatose, but not fatal? Why did Concubine Ming die after smelling it! What on earth is going on!
"
Her vicious words were obviously intended to put all the blame on Qiao Xin.
Qiao Xin also shook her head desperately, crying even more aggrieved than He Chang Zai.
"Little Master, I swear that what I took was the powder of ecstasy! I don't know why I died? Even if you gave me a hundred courages, I would not do such a sinful thing! I am unjust!"
"Unjustly accused? I am unjustly accused! It took a lot of effort to get to the position. You won't drag me down again because of this matter!"
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, so I said to Qiao Xin.
"Go, take the remaining Ecstasy and burn it immediately. Don't let anyone discover it, otherwise you and I won't be able to explain it clearly even if we have eight hundred mouths!"
"Yes, yes, slave, go right away."
As a result, before Qiao Xin could go out, Lin Xingzhi from next door brought someone over.
Seeing someone "breaking into" the house, He Changzai trembled in fright.
"You, you, you...what are you going to do?"
Lin Xingzhi was very surprised by his incoherent speech.
Could it be that he is a thief with a guilty conscience?
So he said with a cold face.
"My dear, please forgive me. The concubine next door is gone. Did you hear anything last night?"
"I slept so well last night, how could I hear any noise?"
Although he said so, his appearance was a bit evasive.
Lin Xingzhi is not a fool, he can't even see this.
Obviously there must be something wrong inside, so I took a look at He Chang's Qiaoxin beside him.
I saw that she was scared to death and her face was red.
Seeing this, Lin Xingzhi made a quick decision and said.
"This is a serious matter, so please forgive me, young master. We are going to search this house, so please restrain the servants."
"What, search the house? Why? I didn't kill the person, why should I search my house?"
The more exaggerated her claim was, the more Lin Xingzhi felt there was something fishy going on.
"Is the young master a little too excited? The general is just doing things according to orders."
