Chapter 59 Interlocking

After the coroner tested the corpse of the palace maid, he turned around and looked at Jun Qingli and said, "What she ate was Duancao San."

Jun Qingli was looking at the body of the palace maid, and sneered when she heard this, "What a poisonous method."

He also heard of this poison a little, but once the poison fell into his stomach, there was no possibility of being rescued. Moreover, because the drug is too domineering and tragic, it is extremely expensive among the people. It costs hundreds of taels of silver if you have so many fingernails! And most people can't buy it without a channel.

The guards guarding Shen Jialan just now said that the assassin died of poison in a few breaths after taking the medicine, which means that the amount of medicine she took was also extremely large.

Therefore, the people behind her are not only rich in financial resources, but also have a wide range of channels in Beijing. It is no problem to get any poison!

A sudden light of inspiration flashed in Jun Qingli's mind, poison!

Jun Xuelan died of a strange poison. Concubine Yun also suffered from a strange poison. Now this palace maid also has expensive poisons!

Could it be that their deaths were all planned, and the people behind them were not just about dividing the emperor and King Ning! But the entire Chu State?!

Jun Qingli suddenly felt a chill in his spine. If this was the case, the person who played this big game had a deep mind and skillful method, which was far beyond his expectations.

"Your Highness, this palace maid's face is not right!"

The coroner was originally purging the lower jaw of the palace maid's corpse and checking the dirty blood flowing out of her mouth, but the longer his hands touched the skin of the corpse, the more he realized something was wrong.

The palace maid's skin seemed to be too tight.

He has been working as a coroner for many years and has rich experience. Naturally, he knows that although a person will be stiff after death, his flesh and blood will be loose.

It should definitely not be the tight feel of the hand like the tight fabric on the embroidery shed.

"This person seems to be unrestrained." The coroner judged.

As soon as Jun Qingli was reminded by his words, his eyes suddenly moved to the palace maid's cheek and observed motionlessly.

Why does this face look so familiar? I seem to have seen it somewhere...

This is the palace maid who asked him and Jun Jiuning to meet Concubine Yun that day!

Jun Qingli's pupils suddenly shrank. How could this person be from Concubine Yun?!

"Come on, carry this corpse back to the palace and to Yunxiao Palace! Then send someone to invite his father and Concubine Yun together!" Jun Qingli gave an order, but he had already passed the whole thing through the whole thing from beginning to end.

He looked back at the coroner: "Sir, please come with me too. Whether this palace maid is disguised will be revealed in person later."

It is time to take this opportunity to clear the inner demons in the palace.

When Emperor Wen and Concubine Yun arrived at Yunxiao Hall, the coroner had already found the connection between the human skin mask on the face of the palace maid.

As soon as Emperor Wen entered the door, he saw a corpse lying straight in the center of the hall. He frowned: "Prince, what do you mean?"

After giving birth, Concubine Yun was weak and in poor spirits. She was caught off guard and saw the dead. She was so scared that she screamed, covering her chest, her face as white as paper.

She was shocked and angry: "Your Highness, this is Xi'er's palace. How could you move such a dirty body here!"

Jun Qingli smiled gently on her face, but her eyes were cold: "I am trying to avenge you, Empress, and I believe the second princess will not blame you if she knows it. Empress, don't you want to know who is the culprit who poisons you?"

Emperor Wen's eyes suddenly became sharp, and there was a hint of anger in his words: "Qingli, what do you mean?"

The mastermind that harmed Jun Yuanxi and Concubine Yun was the matter of King Ning. Jun Qingli could not have known that he said this today because he wanted to make the matter clear and encourage the Yun family behind Concubine Yun to go against King Ning?

Jun Qingli knew what Emperor Wen was worried about, so he stopped keeping him.

"Father, I know that there is a rift between you and King Ning because of many misunderstandings. Over the past few days, I have found a lot of things."

He pointed to the corpse of the palace maid behind him and said to Concubine Yun: "Who do you know her?"

Concubine Yun didn't want to dirty her eyes, but after hearing Jun Qingli's words just now, she knew that the other party was looking for the culprit who harmed her, so she had to endure the disgust and look forward.

"She, she seems to be a rude palace maid in my palace. How could she die?!"

Jun Qingli said, "That's right. The Empress was in Yunxiao Palace that day and called someone to invite me and my elder sister to come over. This is the way this palace maid led."

"I don't know if the Empress knows that she did a lot of tricks in secret, so that Shen Jialan, who poisoned the imperial concubine, had the chance to attack the Empress."

Concubine Yun was shocked. Jun Qingli meant that poisoning her was not just a person's work, but she actually buried so many other people's eyeliners in her palace?!

Emperor Wen looked at Jun Qingli in confusion. After knowing that so many spies had been installed in the palace, he said with a look of ugly expression: "Crown Prince, what did you find? You said that there are so many detailed works in the palace of Concubine Yun, who installed them?"

"Father, don't be anxious." Jun Qingli comforted, "It's a bit complicated, not to mention that this palace maid has more than one identity, and the son minister is not completely sure yet. The specific facts must be made by letting the coroner uncover the human skin mask on her face before he can make a conclusion."

He turned around and winked at the coroner, who stepped forward and removed the mask stuck to the corpse's face.

Emperor Wen and Concubine Yun were both stunned. After watching the coroner's actions, he took off a human skin mask, revealing the true appearance of the palace maid.

Jun Qingli then said: "If I'm not mistaken, the reason why this palace maid had to wear a human skin mask but could lurk in the palace of Concubine Yun without being discovered is that her original face cannot be shown to others. Perhaps her original identity is dead, or perhaps her original identity has the opportunity to enter and exit the palace of Concubine Yun. After much thought, perhaps the father and the people around Concubine Yun can recognize this face."

Just as he was talking, Concubine Yun looked at the palace maid, with a dazed and shocked look on her face.

"I, I recognize this face." There was a fear in her eyes that could not be concealed. "This is a big palace maid next to Xi'er. But didn't she follow Xi'er to the imperial tomb and then fall off the cliff in the carriage?! How could she be here?"

Jun Qingli's mind suddenly became clear: It was true.

He was in a state of great emotion and took a fierce breath.

"Father, you and Uncle Ning have been trapped by someone else."

Jun Qingli pointed at the corpse and slowly speculated: "This palace maid did not join the carriage to the imperial tomb with the second princess. The disguise technique she used on her face is so exquisite, so she could naturally find someone to make a human skin mask that was exactly the same as her true face, and then find a dead soldier to stay with Jun Yuanxi for her, and then wait for an opportunity to assassinate her and then blame King Ning!"
