Chapter 124: A Flash in the Pan

Two guards were carrying a stretcher, and on the stretcher lay a man wearing a red and black collar.

Duanmu Minya looked at it carefully and couldn't help but be shocked. This man's official position was actually a third-grade military officer and a military officer of the Royal Forest Army.

Such a position is being used by that person. It seems that this person's wooing methods are very powerful, or that person has very great power or wealth, and is a person who can be bribed.

It's nothing more than money, power, and sex. Only people with agendas and greed can be used. If a person has no requirements for power, wealth, or beauty, what do you use to seduce him/her?

Woolen cloth.

The man lying on the stretcher had a livid face, his lips were black, and there was a trace of black blood running down the corners of his lips.

"Reporting to the prince, when we arrived, Dong Shenling had already died from the poison."

Captain Li Xian lowered his head in annoyance with a heavy face. Why didn't he think earlier why Counselor Dong arranged for Mrs. Ruyi to have a separate cell?

That way he could report it to the prince as soon as possible, but yesterday the prince seemed to be trapped by the emperor, because yesterday the prince knelt in front of the emperor's study for a day and a night, and he wanted to plead for the princess and the people in the palace.

And because of the sudden sudden death of his beloved concubine, the emperor wanted to kill all the people in Prince Yu's palace and bury him with him. How could he listen to Xuanyuan Qingtian's request?

If Xuanyuan Qingtian hadn't knelt so sincerely all day and night, the emperor would not have announced his audience today, let alone accepted his request.

And Xuanyuan Qingtian also asked the emperor to agree to give him a week to find the murderer because of his begging day and night. Otherwise, the princess and ladies of Prince Yu's palace and the maids and mothers present that day would all become Concubine Li.

The empress was buried with her.

"How long have you been dead?"

Xuanyuan Qingtian seemed to be not surprised by the death of the imperial guard army officer. He would be surprised if this man did not die.

"Reporting that the prince died less than an hour ago, his body is not completely stiff yet."

Captain Li Xian answered respectfully again. Fortunately, he made a detailed assessment when he saw Dong Shenling's body, because he felt that the prince would definitely need this information.

"How did he die?...Oh, I mean his posture, was there any sign of a fight or a struggle when he was forced to swallow poison."

Duanmu Minya looked at Captain Li Xian and interrupted. After seeing Captain Li Xian's puzzled and stunned expression, she quickly explained because she could clearly see the confusion and shock in Captain Li Xian's eyes. (No.

I understand why she asked that, and I’m surprised why she asked that.)

Because his eyes seemed to say, Dong Shenling knew at a glance that he was poisoned and died, so why did he need to ask how he died?

But then he thought carefully that the princess was not that ignorant. There must be something she wanted to know, but she couldn't express it clearly, so he looked puzzled and stunned.

"Dong Shenling's posture was very peaceful. He died while sitting on a chair. There were no signs of fighting between him and him in the room. It seemed that he was poisoned and died while sitting, and there was no sign of any hardship from the poison.

, Princess, please see, the expression on his face is very peaceful, as if he died in a dream, without any trace of pain, resistance or struggle."

Captain Li Xian stretched out his hand and pointed directly at the face of the leader Dong. Duanmu Minya looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the expression of the leader Dong was calm and peaceful, without any trace of pain. He had indeed died while resting.

"What kind of poison is this? It makes people feel nothing, no pain at all."

Duanmu Minya wrinkled her slender black eyebrows in confusion, her clear black and white pupils sparkling, although she was filled with doubts and confusion, she was not afraid.

I wasn't afraid because so many people had died, I wasn't afraid because there were two corpses in front of me, and I wasn't afraid because I knew that this poison was colorless and odorless and could not be detected at all.

Under her straight and straight nose, her thin lips hinted at a positive and fearless attitude that would not be easily compromised. She looked at them calmly and resolutely, waiting for their explanation.

"This poison is called 'flash in the pan'. It is colorless and odorless. It can be dissolved in anything, including water, so that the poisoned person will not notice it, because this poison does not act on the spot, but slowly.

Even if the maximum dose of medicine is used, it will take several hours before the outbreak occurs, but once it occurs, there is no cure, but..."

Xuanyuan Qingtian and everyone else were silent because they didn't know what the poison was. Just when they were looking at each other and didn't know how to answer, a clear and familiar voice came from the door of the cell.

It's him! When Duanmu Minya heard this, her whole body was slightly shaken, and her calm and composed expression seemed to be thrown into a stone, causing ripples to appear in circles. She quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the door with an expression of surprise.

Duanmu Minya's surprised expression made Xuanyuan Qingtian, who was secretly paying attention to her, suddenly look up. He frowned slightly and looked at Duanmu Minya's shining black eyes, which were brighter than the night pearls. He looked at those eyes looking at

When he saw the person coming in from the gate, the immense light released and her undisguised joy made his heart suddenly sulky.

There was a suffocation that he didn't understand.

He complained angrily in his heart. When he came in just now, he didn't see her looking so happy. It really pissed him off.

Although Xuanyuan Qingtian was sulking in his heart, his expression was still cold, cold, and calm, and did not reveal his displeasure. However, the atmosphere around him became a little colder unconsciously.

A slender Yuxiu figure slowly walked into the cell. She was still wearing a blue robe with silver dark patterns embroidered on it. Part of her jet-black hair was casually pulled up with a jade hairpin, and the rest was scattered casually.

Behind his shoulders, it swayed and danced gently with his steps.

His face was still as elegant as ever with a faint smile, a smile?

Duanmu Minya unconsciously stared deeply. Yes, the expression on his face was a smile, and there was a touch of carefree ease in that shallow smile that was too light to be noticed.

Even though he was in jail now, even if there were two corpses parked in front of him, his expression was still as relaxed and carefree as if he were outing in the sunny outdoors, as if he was born to be so calm and elegant, no matter when and where.

Her deep blue eyes, as calm as the late night sea, met Duanmu Minya's gaze for an instant.

Who else has these unique blue eyes besides Song Yichen!
