"Lang, why are you lying here? Quickly get up. If you can't get up …" What should mother do … "

The noble official's eyebrows creased as he looked at the man dressed in the Imperial Physician's uniform. "Imperial Physician Chen, what's going on?"

Imperial Physician Chen was troubled. "This madam's child slipped and fell into the water. Please ask this subject to treat him. However, the child fell into the water too long ago. An hour ago …" This subject is powerless. "

No, my son will not leave me like this! "You lied to me, he's right by my side, wuu wuu!

Madame Du's eyes turned red with rage. She was about to pounce on Imperial Physician Chen when Du Menglin immediately stopped her, but her random movements knocked her aside and she almost fell to the ground.

Lu Musheng hurried over to support her. "Madam, are you alright?"

Du Menglin looked at the fallen Madam Du and shook her head slightly, "I'm fine."

"No one wishes for such a thing to happen. Since Madam can't persuade him otherwise, let's get Vice Minister Du over here as soon as possible."

"Lord Lu Shaoqing and Madam Lu truly love each other dearly. Compared to us being brothers, General Lu is heartless towards his wife and direct daughter. I heard that Miss Lu's days at the mansion are not easy, and that she's even inferior to his little sister Shu?"

Lu Jinjian rolled his eyes at Anubis as a response to Anubis' provocation and then looked at the corpse on the ground.

Imperial Physician Chen said the child died an hour ago when he fell into the water, but the corpse's face was bloated and it was hard to make out the child's appearance.

Even if it was summer, it wouldn't be so fast to be soaked like this. Besides, it was spring, and the marks on the corpses' necks …

He looked around at the railings of the lotus pond. It was still early in the summer, and only the last lotus flower and the new lotus leaf were standing in the pond.

"Doctor Chen, is there really an hour? Madam Du had long since sent people to search. This place wasn't considered a very quiet place, so how could children not cry out for help when they fell into the water? How could they not hear her cry for help? "And his face …"

"Is this young miss doubting my medical skills?"

Imperial Physician Chen said angrily, "I don't know if he called for help, but I do know that an hour ago, he died in a completely different way. He suffered an impact, so it should have been a concave rock."

"My daughter doesn't have any doubts about Imperial Physician Chen's medical skills, she's only slightly interested in them. She's just curious about them, so if you've offended her, please forgive her."

Imperial Physician Chen harrumphed. "With regards to the trauma, Miss can take a look at the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, Theory of Transferring Essence to one's Qi. Jade Machine Meaning, Scroll 18."

Eunuch An roughly understood the situation and instructed a few eunuchs to take care of it while he led a group of people to report back to the Emperor.

However, when they arrived at Jade Moon Hall, they heard the imperial guards' leader say that not only had there been a murder in Jade Moon Hall, but that the grand imperial concubine had also lost something.

Cui Fu pursed his lips, as if he had already predicted his own unhappy future. Forcing himself to smile, he followed the noble father to the palace. Su Xing Yuan and Lu Mo Sheng also hurried to catch up.

Anubis smiled and said to Lu Jinniang, "Are you not going, Miss Lu?"

"His Majesty didn't summon my daughter, she came here to pacify His Royal Highness' injured spirit, but His Royal Highness doesn't want to go inside?"

Lu JinNian raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "I understand, His Highness lamented the fact that he accompanied her. Not only did he betray the prince's trust, he even lost his life. However, my daughter knows that His Highness is not a heartless and ungrateful person, so I think it's best for you to go visit your personal guard and send him off. "

Before he could reply, Lu JinNian spoke to the imperial guards with a pained expression, "Prince Anubis wishes to see the scene of the crime. I wonder if Commander can lead the way?"

"This prince doesn't have any!" Anubis gritted his teeth. "Who told you that the theft had something to do with my men?"

Lu JinNian smiled brightly, "The truth is right here. First, Prince Ji's personal disciple died in Jade Moon Hall, and then he found out that he had lost something. He said that the two of them aren't related, so how could there be such a coincidence?"

"If the Prince wants to prove that there is a connection, he needs proof, proof that there is no relation, but he also needs proof, what does His Royal Highness think?"

Anubis' face was black. Should he be glad that Lu JinNian played the role of a mute on the battlefield?

It would be better to just use his mouth to anger him to death. He turned to the commander of the imperial guards and said unhappily, "This prince's personal guard died here. This prince should be able to see for himself."

The commander of the imperial guards nodded. When he discovered the dead body, Anubis had already made a trip over, but at that time, he had only glanced at the scene roughly, before starting to fight with His Majesty over the identity of the victim.

It was a pity that his Majesty didn't allow him to take advantage of the situation, so he left in a rage. Yet, he came back this time …

Cui Li ran out of the palace with a face full of dust, and said to the others with a forced smile, "Coincidentally, this official also wants to inspect the scene. Since Prince Ji wants to watch, then let's go together."

Although he, the Prefecture Overseer Jing, would also investigate the scene and investigate the case, he did not know what to do.

But that was Shen Xiangtai's specialty. Even if it was just an ordinary case, he was still locked up in the palace of the imperial concubine that was favored by the emperor, a foreign envoy.

The Huns were notorious for their violent temper, and this matter was very difficult to handle. However, because it involved Shen Xiangtai's disappointing son, this matter was placed on his head.

Cui Yue could only brace himself and move forward. "The victim has been stabbed several times. According to the Imperial Physician's judgement, the stab into the heart is a fatal wound. The murder weapon is a dagger."

The dagger is not like a weapon from the Central Plains. The scythe blade has a handle adorned with a gem unique to the Western Regions, and according to Prince Zhi's men, the dagger belongs to the deceased. However, when the dagger was discovered, it was held in the hands of Young Master Shen Yin, who was unconscious.

The corpse definitely could not remain in the Hall of Jade Moon forever. Cui Fu found a few imperial guards and had them bring the corpse back to the Jing Zhao Manor for a coroner's examination. The imperial physicians were the ones who had rescued him, and if the coroner was inexperienced, they might be able to find some other clues.

Lu Jinjian followed behind Anubis, listening to Cui's account of the scene. While listening, Lu Jinjian looked at the blood stains that had yet to be cleaned up.

The son of Assistant Minister Du drowned, the theft from the Hall of Jade Moon, the murder of the Huns' messenger, the reason for Shen's visit and the role he played … Coupled with the envoys from the two countries proposing a marriage alliance, many other events occurred in succession within a day. This was a chaotic scene to watch.

For no particular reason, Lu JinNian felt that Xiao Su was responsible for all these things that happened today.
