She slowly said, ”That day was the same as usual.”
His Highness the Crown Prince and the beauties were drunk with joy, he only slept for less than an incense stick of time after taking off his clothes when it was almost daybreak. We heard a commotion from the crown prince's chamber, and the official on the night shift ran out in a flurry and knocked on the door.
”All of us, under the Inner Court's portico, watched the shadows of the silhouettes outside sway in an extremely disorderly manner. We waited anxiously for news until Yu Su returned.”
”Yu Su?” Jin Xiaolou suddenly turned her head.
She could not be more familiar with this name, and had heard the Linlang Workshop girls mention it who knows how many times.
”That's right, Yu Su!” ”It is indeed the number one lady in the Liusu Pavilion. She has already been taken in by the crown prince for two months and she slept with him that night.”
Yu Su was actually received into the crown prince's residence! Jin Xiaolou inexplicably felt that something was amiss. If Yu Su was truly accepted into the crown prince's residence, then why did the news not come to him at all? According to the temper of those girls, nothing could be spread far and wide. This was a fact that everyone knew.
Moreover, this was not a bad thing. On the contrary, it was a joyous occasion, and the Liusu Pavilion had yet to be unrestrainedly announced, proving the level of the ladies in his pavilion.
They didn't hear a single sound from their Linlang Workshop, nor did any of the other girls in the shop know about it. They all thought that Yu Su was still the pillar of the stage within the Liusu Pavilion.
Like this, it could only prove that Yu Su entering the crown prince's residence was a strange and secretive matter.
”When Lady Yu Su returned, she was so scared that her face turned white.” ”She said that not long after the crown prince had fallen asleep, she was twitching, as if she had held her breath, his face flushed purple, her body writhing, and after a while she stopped moving. Yu Su had never seen such a scene before. She did not even have the time to put on her robes and immediately ran out to call for help. After waiting for the imperial physician, she asked her a lot of questions before returning. ”
”At that time, Yu Su had heard from the imperial physician that her highness the crown prince died from worry filtering and heart failure.”
”I'm afraid it was an accident.”
”That's not right!” Jin Xiaolou suddenly shouted as she straightened her back before bending over and approaching the crown prince's corpse. Reaching out with two fingers, she gently flipped over the collar of the corpse that had been rolled up on its body.
On the black and purple skin of the crown prince's neck, there was a tiny red dot that was as small as a mole. If one did not look closely, it was impossible to notice it.
The veins on his neck were bulging out from the red dot like a deep and vertical gully.
That red dot was like a drop of red flowers in a ravine. Even if one looked at it carefully, it was easy to be ignored. After all, who didn't have a red packet on them?
”This coroner,” he said, ”was found to have been bitten by a mosquito during an autopsy. It has nothing to do with the crown prince's death.”
”Is that so?” Jin Xiaolou frowned, ”Heart failure can indeed cause cyanosis, but if …”
Jin Xiaolou stopped talking. She did not really understand all this, all that common sense she had was that she had learnt from the elective classes back in college.
She vaguely remembered that cyanosis was a sign of skin and mucous membrane turning purple, especially at the thin tip of the nose and ear. cyanosis did occur in heart failure, which was more likely to result in asphyxia and air embolism.
According to Yu Su, before the crown prince died, he struggled in pain. However, according to the diagnosis given by the imperial physicians, the crown prince should have died suddenly from shock and exhaustion.
The warning before the crown prince's death, in addition to the appearance of the dead body, and this unremarkable yet extremely suspicious red dot, it was like his blood vessels had been injected with air and his heart had been injected with air, resulting in his death …
This red dot was the mark left by the needle.
If it was really an air embolism, then everything was correct. The crown prince had been murdered, and Gao Lang had guessed that.
The reason why Jin Xiaolou thought of all these, yet didn't say it out, was because of the high levelled blood vessel injection method. She felt that it was impossible to achieve it in this ancient era where there wasn't even a needle.
In times like this, would anyone know how to make a syringe that would kill a person by pumping air into their blood vessels?
Jin Xiaolou couldn't believe that if she could pump air into his blood vessels, she could pour medicine into them and drip blood. This system was purely based on the anatomy and physiology of the modern Western countries.
To have such a hard core, in the ancient times, it was simply a fantasy.
After looking over and over again, he still couldn't find anything else.
Gao Lang let Xi Shu leave first, then he and Jin Xiaolou walked out of the hall.
Jin Xiaolou kept hherhead down all the way, looking at her toes, her heart tangled as to whether or not she should tell Gao Lang his thoughts.
”My wife, are you tired?” Gao Lang suddenly stopped and turned to look at Jin Xiaolou. She was not her usual self, and there was some worry between her brows, causing Gao Lang to be worried.
”Nope.” Jin Xiaolou immediately raised her head and chuckled.
