Chapter 507 Old Madam Qi Dies of Poison

When Mrs. Qi was in a state of despair, she nodded immediately after hearing this and cried: "Your Highness, you are such a good person, so I'm sorry to trouble you.

However, Master Qi in the room heard an angry shout at this moment: "This is our family matter, how can we let outsiders investigate thoroughly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Qi came out of the house with a gloomy expression and tears still on his face.

Due to Shen Ningning's status, he had to slow down his tone.

"Your Highness Princess, thank you sir, thank you for lending a helping hand, but when we encounter this kind of thing, we still want to deal with it ourselves behind closed doors."

He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "I won't bother you. Once the matter is settled tomorrow, I will hold a banquet for you two to express my apology."

Shen Ningning felt that Master Qi's reaction was strange.

His mother was suspected of being poisoned and someone was willing to help with a thorough investigation. Why was he rushing to drive her away?

Xie Mingan half-protected Shen Ningning behind him, his voice was quiet.

"Master Qi, don't rush us away yet. If I remember correctly, when your sister Concubine Qi was still alive, she asked for a royal title for Mrs. Qi. Do I remember correctly?"

Master Qi's expression changed for a moment, and he gritted his teeth.

Xie Mingan is right.

Mrs. Qi used her daughter to gain power and glory, and it was she who forced Concubine Qi to seek a royal title for her.

Seeing Master Qi's reaction, Xie Mingan smiled, and then his expression suddenly turned serious.

"Mrs. Gaoming died of poisoning. Even if she died in your home, it is not a trivial matter. If reported to the court, the emperor will arrange for someone to come and conduct a thorough investigation."

He put his hands behind his back, full of momentum and calmness: "Mr. Qi, you can choose for yourself. Should I go to Datian to listen and ask the emperor to send someone else to investigate thoroughly, or let me go in and investigate thoroughly today."

Mr. Qi's face was ashen, and his eyes were changing, and he didn't know what he was hesitating about.

Finally, he relented: "Okay, thank you, sir, so I'm sorry to bother you."

Shen Ningning felt even weirder in her heart.

Master Qi, why does he seem to be afraid of others coming to investigate?

She followed Xie Mingan into Mrs. Qi's room.

Qi Xiuwei was still kneeling beside the bed, crying secretly.

She lost a little weight and became haggard, and now her porcelain-white cheeks were covered with tears.

Qi Xiuwei looked up and saw Shen Ningning coming, her eyes dodge for a moment.

"Ning Ning..." she said while wiping away tears.

Shen Ningning comforted her: "Xiaowei, my second brother is very good at investigating cases and will never let your grandmother die in vain."

Hearing the words "my second brother", Xie Mingan raised his eyebrows with some joy.

This is decent.

Qi Xiuwei lowered her head, stood up silently, and gave the position around the bed to Xie Ming'an.

Xie Mingan took out the fish intestine gloves he carried with him from his pocket, specially used to protect his palms.

This was the first time Shen Ningning saw him wearing this thing.

Even though this glove is called fish intestines, it doesn't smell fishy at all. When worn on the hand, it seems to be integrated with the hand, and it fits very well.

I heard that to make a pair of fish intestine gloves, you need to use the intestines of a large fish weighing more than 20 kilograms, wash them repeatedly, and then soak them in pepper water.

After being exposed to the scorching sun for three days, you will get a pair of gloves as thin as cicada wings.

There are only three officers in the entire Cangyun Kingdom, and they are all in the hands of her second brother.

"Brother Stinky, why do you bring your gloves wherever you go?" Shen Ningning muttered.

Xie Ming'an put it on with a smile and said: "Just in case of emergency, look, the problem will come soon. You go sit aside and rest, and watch the second brother prove his ability to you."

Shen Ningning seemed a little worried when she saw Qi Xiuwei standing by.

She took Qi Xiuwei and sat down to wait.

"Xiaowei, here you go." Shen Ningning took out the handkerchief and asked her to wipe her tears.

Qi Xiuwei was unusually silent for some reason.

Those tearful eyes drooped slightly, not daring to look at Shen Ningning.

Xie Mingan has already begun to examine the body.

Just as the housekeeper said, Mrs. Qi's ears were bleeding, and the color was dark brown, and her lips were black, which was a sign of poisoning.

Xie Mingan turned the body over and checked the position of the back, neck, and limbs.

After a simple investigation, his expression became serious.

Mr. Qi walked in and said anxiously: "Mr. Xie, my mother had a very strong sense of self-esteem during her lifetime, and her posthumous affairs cannot be so careless. If you want to conduct an autopsy, I'm afraid it would be too disgraceful. I cannot agree to it."

Unexpectedly, Xie Mingan had already taken off his fish intestine gloves and soaked them in the copper basin in the house.

He said calmly: "There is no need to dissect the body, it is very simple to die from poisoning, and it is an acute poison - lily of the valley frost. This thing is easy to get. You only need to plant lily of the valley flowers and crush the flower stems to get it."

"I just took a look, and there are a lot of them planted in the flower garden in the inner courtyard of your mansion."

Mrs. Qi was startled: "Is it true that someone in the mansion wants to kill the old lady!"

Xie Mingan glanced at everyone in the room.

"It's normal to hurt her. Who told her not to do human things before?" He learned these four words from his sister Shen Ningning.

It is said that there is an annotation of this word in the dictionary left by their mother.

Mrs. Qi had done all kinds of bad things, and dying from poison was simply an advantage for her.

Master Qi frowned: "How do you know it will be Linglan Shuang and not something else?"

Xie Mingan pointed to the blood stains on Mrs. Qi's body.

"The poison of Lily of the Valley Frost is different from other poisons. It directly destroys the brain of the human body, causing the blood flow to reverse, rush to the top of the sky and then collapse. This is why the black blood first started to flow from Mrs. Qi's body. Out of the ear hole."

"But I think there is something strange. The body has the sequelae of long-term use of lily of the valley cream." He pointed to the fingers of Madam Qi's two hands, and the nails were blue.

This is a symptom of chronic poisoning.

Shen Ningning was surprised: "Did the person who poisoned do it twice?"

Madam Qi cried: "Who is so cruel that he wants to kill the old lady?"

Xie Mingan analyzed calmly with cold eyes: "I think that the person who poisoned did not want Madam Qi's life the first time, but wanted her to stay sick and unable to get up."

"She must want to get something from it, otherwise she would not change her plan easily. As for why she poisoned too much this time, causing Madam Qi to die directly, could it be that she accidentally put the wrong thing because of hand shaking?"

When he said this, his cold black eyes swept over everyone present.

Finally, his eyes fell on Qi Xiuwei.

Shen Ningning felt Qi Xiuwei trembling, and she comforted her softly.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaowei. My second brother will definitely find the real murderer."

Master Qi frowned: "What should we do? This lily of the valley is planted in the inner courtyard. Anyone in our mansion can touch it. Could it be that Master Xie wants to capture us all?"

Xie Ming'an smiled, a little like a fox.

"There is no need to be so troublesome. If someone who touches the lily of the valley frost has a wound on her body, it will not heal, because the lily of the valley frost itself carries a strong poison, which will make everyone who touches it unwell."

As he said, he asked Qi Xiuwei: "Miss Qi, the wound on your palm should have been there for a long time, right?"

Qi Xiuwei opened her eyes wide and covered her palm suddenly.

Shen Ningning looked at her reaction in astonishment.

"Xiaowei...you..."

Mrs. Qi also shouted in astonishment: "Weier, did you kill the old lady?!"

Qi Xiuwei finally collapsed at this moment.

She didn't even have the nerve to argue, she cried and screamed, "She deserved it! Who made her bully me and my mother all the time! People like her should never get up again, but...but I don't know why she died, I was obviously very careful, I didn't put too much..." (End of this chapter)
