After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 304: Young Master An

Hui Chengyuan raised his eyebrows, stood up, bowed and said, "Then I will take my leave."

When he reached the door, he remembered something and turned around and said, "Oh, Father, please help explain to the Queen Mother."

As soon as he said this, the emperor threw a cup at him. Hui Chengyuan dodged it and left.

Hui Chengyuan returned to the Prince's Mansion. As soon as he got off the carriage, he heard Su Zhongjue's shout, "Prince cousin, something happened."

"What's wrong?" Hui Chengyuan stood on the steps and looked at him.

Su Zhongjue did not dismount, but turned his horse around and said, "An Xianhe is dead."

Hui Chengyuan frowned anxiously, asked someone to unload the horse, and rode towards the prison warden.

Su Zhongjue rode his horse beside him and said, "When we found him, he was already cold."

"Wasn't there any lunch delivered at noon? Why did you take so long to find out?" Hui Chengyuan glanced at him.

Su Zhongjue choked. Could he say that he was not strict with his subordinates?

After entering the prison, Su Zhongjue explained, "The person who delivered the lunch at noon put it down and left, so I didn't notice it. I only discovered it when I went over to check and saw that the lunch was untouched."

"Where is the body?" Hui Chengyuan asked as he walked inside.

Su Zhongjue followed closely behind him, "No move, in prison."

After entering An Xianhe's cell and seeing his body, Hui Chengyuan did not go in immediately, but looked at the window of the cell.

An Xianhe is still sitting, with his head raised and looking out the window. Now that he is dead, his image is frozen like this.

"What was the cause of death?"

Su Zhongjue shook his head. "The coroner examined him, but couldn't find anything. There were no obvious external injuries, and it couldn't be determined that he wasn't poisoned."

An Xianhe then walked in. He squatted in front of him and looked at him. His eyes were open, staring straight at the window. Although there was no light in his eyes, there seemed to be some longing in them.

miss?

Who are you missing?

No matter how you think about it, there is only one person who wants to silence An Xianhe.

Hui Chengyuan looked at the window again, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Go to the Prince's Mansion and invite Pei Qiu to come and have him take a look. He has been researching poisons recently."

"Pei Qiu? Who is that?" When Su Zhongjue saw Hui Chengyuan stand up and walk out, he immediately went out to the Prince's Mansion to ask for someone.

Hui Chengyuan left the prison and went to the place corresponding to the window of An Xianhe's cell. He found that it was a reed marsh, which was easy to hide people.

"Your Highness, why are you here? It's very dirty and messy here." Ye He said as he looked into the reed marsh.

"This reed marsh was cleared before, but it grew back again after a short while, so we just left it alone."

Hui Chengyuan picked up a branch nearby and poked it into the reed marsh. It was very deep.

After walking along the reed marsh, I finally found footprints in the eastern corner. They were not deep, so the opponent's martial arts skills must be quite good.

Ye He had been following him all the time, so he naturally saw the footprints as well. "This, I will arrange for someone to investigate right away."

Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "Lingkong, arrange for someone to investigate."

"Go, go back."

When they returned to the prison, Pei Qiu was already examining An Xianhe.

Pulling out a long silver needle, Pei Qiu shook his head and said, "It's not poisoning, there are no injuries on his body, it's too strange to die."

Hui Chengyuan suddenly thought of the person who killed the scholar in Xizhou before, who used a needle to pierce his head to kill him.

"Pei Qiu, take a look at his head, is there any blood?"

Pei Qiu was stunned, and immediately looked at An Xianhe's head. Finally, he saw a small blood bead on the left side.

"Have."

After wiping off the blood, he found a red dot, and Pei Qiu said, "Your Highness, come and take a look."

Hui Chengyuan leaned over to take a look, and when he saw the blood spot, he confirmed it, "It should be killed with a needle. Is there any way to take the needle out?"

It seems that the other party sneaked from the reed marsh to the window and then shot An Xianhe with some hidden weapon.

Pei Qiu motioned for him to make way, then leaned over to take a closer look. "If it's an iron needle, we can suck it out with a magnetic stone. If it's not, it will be difficult. We can only take it out by cutting it open."

Hui Chengyuan looked at Su Zhongjue and said, "Go find a magnetic stone and try it."

Before Su Zhongjue could move, Ye Hexian said, "I have a piece of it. I will go get it now."

Pei Qiu stood up and stood next to Hui Chengyuan, "Your Highness, this person looks familiar, who is he?"

"An Xianhe, a member of Xiandong'an's family." Hui Chengyuan said as he stepped forward and closed An Xianhe's eyes.

"An family?" Pei Qiu murmured as he looked at An Xianhe.

"Oh, now I remember, I saw someone who looked very similar to him in the North East."

Hui Chengyuan looked at him and said, "Tell me, when did it happen?"

Pei Qiu thought for a moment and said, "About three years ago, when the drought first started. But I can be sure that person was not him."

Hui Chengyuan turned to look at An Xianhe, who did not look like Hui Yingshang.

He had seen all of Hui Yingshang's descendants, and none of them looked like An Xianhe, so they must be from the An family.

"Is the person you saw about his age?"

Pei Qiu nodded, "He should be about the same age. I met him at a banquet and we talked, so I have some impression of him."

Hye Seung-won asked, “How did you know that he wasn’t the same person as that guy?”

Pei Qiu said: "The two people have different temperaments. Although they look very similar, there are also some differences."

"For example, the guy I met in Beidong looked more resolute than him. Everyone called him An Sanshao."

Ye He came back with the magnetic stone. Pei Qiu took it and moved it repeatedly around the red dot. After confirming that the magnetic stone had a reaction, he looked up at Hui Chengyuan and said, "It can be confirmed that there is an iron needle inside."

As soon as he finished speaking, a needle as thin as a hair was sucked out.

Seeing the iron needle, Hui Chengyuan looked at Su Zhongjue and asked, "Go and find out who can forge such a fine needle?"

Su Zhongjue blinked and went over to grab the needle.

Hye Seung Won slapped his hand away and looked at him like he was an idiot.

"No, how can I check without a needle?" Su Zhongjue said while rubbing his hands.

Pei Qiu burst out laughing, "Can't you remember the size of this needle?"

Su Zhongjue rolled his eyes at him, bowed to Hui Chengyuan, and took his men to investigate the needle matter.

Pei Qiu handed the magnetic stone to Hui Chengyuan and said, "This may not be from Kyoto, but someone brought it from somewhere else."

"No ordinary blacksmith can make such a thin needle."

Hui Chengyuan looked at the needle on the magnetic stone and said, "Whether it is true or not, we will know after checking it."

"Thank you for your hard work. Please go back to the Prince's Mansion first."

Pei Qiu nodded, and just as he was about to step out of the cell, he heard Hui Chengyuan ask, "Do you know martial arts?"

Pei Qiu turned around and looked at him. "I know a little, but it's just enough to protect myself."

"What's wrong, does the prince have any other instructions?"

Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "No, we are going to Zhao next month and want to take you with us."

Pei Qiu's eyes lit up, "Sure, don't worry, my martial arts are enough to protect me. If not, I still have enough poison."

Hui Chengyuan nodded, "Okay, then you get ready."
