Chapter 481 What Shen Wantang is Really Good at
Shen Wantang frowned: "Master Lu, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect that I killed Chu Yanluo?"
"Princess, before the truth is revealed, I will not doubt anyone, and you are indeed a strong suspect. More importantly -"
Lu Qiying paused and looked at Shen Wantang deeply: "The prince has already made a confession in the Ministry of Justice. He said that it was you who killed Chu Yanluo!"
Shen Wantang almost laughed out of anger!
It turns out that Lu Qiying really came for her!
She had just told Aunt Chai that Lu Qiying was just here for formalities! She didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly!
Great, that's great! Xiao Qingyuan didn't kill her with a borrowed knife, and now he has a more sinister trick!
Shen Wantang hadn't been this angry for a long time, but her face was still calm. "Please Sir Lu, I was kidnapped by Chu Yanluo yesterday, and I haven't left the palace since I returned. I have been recuperating in my own courtyard. If you don't believe me, you can call all the servants to question me."
"Don't worry, Princess. Lu will ask."
Lu Qiying thought for a moment, and then said, "I shouldn't have revealed too much to the Crown Princess, but I still owed the Crown Princess a favor for the Xin family case, so I decided to say a few more words."
"Master Lu, please speak."
"It wasn't just the Crown Prince who reported to the Ministry of Justice that the Crown Prince's Concubine had killed Chu Yanluo. There were others as well."
"Who else?"
"And the Crown Prince's Consort's elder sister, Shen Mingxuan. She said that you and Chu Yanluo have been grudged for a long time. She was jealous of her for being favored by the Crown Prince and hated her for preventing you from consummating your marriage with the Crown Prince. You have always wanted to kill her. She said that you were the one who poisoned her. You are proficient in medicine, so it is easy for you to poison people."
Shen Wantang couldn't help himself and laughed suddenly.
But there was no smile in her smile, only coldness.
"What are you laughing at, Princess?"
"Master Lu, don't you find it funny? I was sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky. One by one, two people thought they could kill me based on this matter. They were too impatient and made a huge mistake."
"What mistake did they make?"
"underestimate the enemy."
The coldness on Shen Wantang's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a calm confidence: "If I want to kill Chu Yanluo, I don't need to wait until today. If I poison her, no one can detect it. I even know about strange poisons like the Western Region Purple Crow. Would I use common poisons like Bloodthirsty Vine and Nostril?"
A smile finally appeared on Lu Qiying's solemn face: "Lu also had this doubt, so I didn't believe that the Crown Prince's Consort killed him at the beginning. However, this case spread quickly in the capital, many people are talking about it, and there are people in the court watching it, so Lu can only act impartially. I hope the Crown Prince's Consort will forgive me."
Shen Wantang shook his head slightly: "Lord Lu, there is nothing wrong with enforcing the law impartially. This is your duty."
Lu Qiying had already given her a lot of face. He didn't beat around the bush and said whatever he wanted to say. He even told her who had reported her.
She also didn't expect that in addition to Xiao Qingyuan who was eager to kill her, Shen Mingxuan, who had been hiding in the Shen family, was also so impatient to take action after hearing the news of Chu Yanluo's death.
What a pair of idiots who don't know their own limitations!
They both thought that her best skill was medicine?
It's hilarious. The reason she originally studied medicine was just so she could investigate cases and perform autopsies without having to ask anyone for help!
What she is really good at is solving cases!
Originally, she didn't want to care about Chu Yanluo's death, but now it seems that she has to find the real murderer for Chu Yanluo.
If Chu Yanluo’s wronged spirit hasn’t gone far away, I should kneel down and kowtow to her to thank her now!
"Lord Lu, it takes at least five days for the blood-sucking vine to break out. Where was Chu Yanluo five days ago? She's still in jail. I've never been to the cell, so how could I have poisoned her? I think Lord Lu should start by investigating the people who had contact with Chu Yanluo in jail before. That would help you find clues faster."
Lu Qiying's eyes lit up: "The blood-sucking vine has this characteristic? It will break out in five days? The coroner from the Ministry of Justice said that the blood-sucking vine can remain in the body for a long time, and that Chu Yanluo might have been poisoned several months ago!"
Shen Wantang nodded: "What the coroner said is not entirely wrong. If the blood-sucking vine is used in very small amounts, it can indeed last for a long time without causing any symptoms. It is usually used to treat patients with stagnant qi and blood."
"But if the dosage exceeds a certain level, the disease will break out in just five days. When it breaks out, blood will flow from all seven orifices. It looks scary, but it is not fatal. If you feed the antidote, the toxicity of the blood-sucking vine will disappear."
"Of course, if you don't take the antidote, the poison will attack you every five days until all your blood is drained out."
Lu Qiying frowned slightly: "I still don't quite understand why the Crown Prince's wife can conclude that the dosage is too much? Maybe Chu Yanluo has been poisoned for too long, so the poison has taken effect?"
"No, if the dosage is very small, even if the poison takes effect, it will only cause nosebleeds, not bleeding from all seven orifices. Chu Yanluo's symptoms are obviously caused by the person who poisoned her using too large a dosage."
"I see!"
"There is also the poison of strychnos nux vomica. Many people may have heard of this poison, but there are not many pharmacies that stock it, and they will not sell it easily. Lord Lu can also investigate this poison."
"it is good!"
"Oh, yes, there is a characteristic of Nostril. It is difficult to preserve. It is basically prepared immediately before use. It is most potent when it is just prepared and can kill people in an instant, hence the name. The longer it is stored, the weaker the effect. If it is stored for more than one day, the effect will be halved. Of course, it will still be fatal, but not as quickly."
Lu Qiying listened very seriously. He felt that the coroner from the Ministry of Justice was good at performing autopsies, but his medical skills were not that good. He only said that those who were poisoned by the deadly poison would die immediately, but he never said that the deadly poison had to be prepared on the spot!
Their Ministry of Justice needs to hire another doctor who is proficient in medical skills and the properties of drugs!
"Princess, I already know about the poison. I'll send someone to investigate when I get back. There's another fatal wound on Chu Yanluo's neck, caused by a pair of scissors. What do you think of this? Do you think this was done by the same person who poisoned her, or by someone else?"
Shen Wantang had the answer in her heart, but she couldn't say it. She had said enough today, and she also believed that with Lu Qiying's ability, it would only take a few days to find the real murderer.
She shook her head: "I don't know about that. Lord Lu might be able to send someone to look for any discarded wet clothes, shoes, etc."
Lu Qiying nodded: "That's exactly what I meant!"
He had asked all the questions that needed to be asked, and he left quickly without further ado.
Shen Wantang watched his back disappear, her eyes turning cold again. They all wanted her to die? Then they all had no chance of living!
As she was thinking about it, she saw Xiao Qingyuan coming back.
The clothes he was wearing were a color Shen Wantang had never seen before, and they didn't fit him well.
Shen Wantang sneered and deliberately stepped forward to ask him: "The prince is back, is this new dress made for you by Huayi? I don't think I've seen it before!"
