Chapter 974

"Empress, how can you see that she didn't drown herself in the lake? She was clearly fished out of the lake by us and we asked the coroner to examine the corpse. The coroner said that she drowned because there was mud in her mouth. "

Ye Ting Xuan was the first to recover and he couldn't help refuting.

"This is because the murderer who killed her is very smart. The mud was placed in her mouth on purpose, but the murderer forgot one thing. When a person is drowning, they will struggle. If she really drowned, not only would there be mud in her mouth, there would also be mud in her fingernails! But look at her ten fingers, the gaps between her fingernails are completely clean. "

Chen Ning pointed at the maid's hand.

Everyone looked over and found that it was exactly as she said. The maid's ten fingers were spread out and there was not a single bit of mud in her fingernails.

"There is also another point. When a person is drowning, they will randomly grasp and when they die, they will clench their fists and not spread out like this. So from these two points, we can conclude that this maid did not drown to death, but rather after she was killed, her body was thrown into the lake. The murderer could have already killed her and after sinking the maid's body into the lake, he thought of a way to make her body float to the surface and let people find it. This way, everyone will think that she committed suicide and they won't be able to investigate it." Chen Ning said.

After she said this, Zhui Feng couldn't help slapping his thigh and Xiao Si nodded his head.

Ye Ting Xuan looked at Chen Ning with a look of amazement.

The Eldest Princess clapped and said, "Ning 'er, you really are too smart. The points you mentioned, this princess couldn't see it at all. Ting Xuan said that she committed suicide and this princess also thought that she committed suicide. You're still the smart one. Ting Xuan, compared to Ning' er, you're simply a blockhead!"

Ye Ting Xuan's white face turned red and he lowered his head.

He had thought that he was smart and careful enough. The mud in the maid's mouth was found by him before the coroner, so he had thought that the maid had committed suicide. He never thought that Chen Ning would find two suspicious points that he didn't even notice.

"Princess, you can't call her that like before. She is now the empress, your royal sister in law." He reminded her in a small voice.

The Eldest Princess disapprovingly said, "She is my royal sister in law, I can also call her Ning 'er. Ning' er, do you want me to call you royal sister in law or do you want me to call you Ning 'er like before?"

Chen Ning said with a faint smile, "Whatever the princess likes."

"Then I'll call you Ning 'er like before. Emperor, you wouldn't be angry at me because of this, right?"

The Eldest Princess looked at Mo Chuan. She was usually carefree, but in her heart, other than Ye Ting Xuan, the two people she cared about the most were Empress Dowager Zhou and Mo Chuan.

Her heart was filled with guilt, not daring to talk to Mo Chuan, but not saying it in her heart made her feel very uncomfortable.

She was very guilty and did not dare talk to Mo Chuan. Ning's heart, Mo t Ting's Ning's Ning.

Mo Chuan couldn't help glaring at her, "An Le, when you and Ting Xuan get married, guess what gift this one will give you?"

There was a strong sense of threat in his tone.
