Mrs. Zhou's heart was full of anger, grievance and unwillingness.

Her daughter entered the palace for the person in front of her, and now she gave her life in vain, not only did this person not feel half sad, but he was still in front of his daughter's corpse, speaking out to defend another woman.

"Your Royal Highness, Xue'e was infatuated with you before her death, and in order to choose a concubine, Baba rushed to the palace from the capital." She sobbed and complained, "Are you indifferent to Xue'e's death at all? ”

Chu Yan's eyebrows frowned, his whole body was instantly filled with a solemn gesture, and even his voice was cold, "There is no mercy between Lone and the Lord of Bingqing County, the emperor wants to choose a concubine for Lone, and Lone also refuses for the emperor's reason." During the day, Chunjun even told Cheng Engong in person that Mrs. Zhou's words were out of line. ”

Mrs. Zhou has been carried away by grief and indignation, how can she care about being afraid, "But Xue'e is ......"

"Cuiqin." Chengen Gong Mu Tiangang interrupted her in a deep voice, "In front of Your Highness, you must not be rude. ”

It wasn't until this moment that Mrs. Zhou realized that she was dying.

She shuddered, lay on Mu Xue'e's corpse, and cried again, not daring to say more.

Seeing this, Dong Lixin on the side hurriedly played a round, "Please forgive me for the Duke and Mrs. Chengen, it is really too rainy tonight, the Peihe Bridge was washed away by the flood, and it is being repaired. ”

"The emperor is very concerned about this case, and is still waiting for a reply, and ...... Whether the county lord of Bingqing committed suicide or not still needs to be examined and seen before the corpse can be done, if not, it is not suicide...... The embroidered envoys and internal guards in our palace can also track down the murderer in time. ”

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, her crying finally eased slightly.

Cheng'en Gong Mu Tiangang had already understood that an autopsy as soon as possible was the best way to deal with the case, and said solemnly: "Neizi doesn't understand this, everything is up to His Highness and Commander Dong." ”

Chu Yan's expression was cold, "What Mrs. Zhou said is also reasonable, it is better to wait for the corpse to be examined early tomorrow morning, and then make a plan." ”

He originally wanted Shen Lingxi to perform an autopsy on Mu Xue'e, but now that he saw Zhou's appearance of not knowing what to do, he didn't want Shen Lingxi to interfere again.

"Lone is also tired, Deputy Commander Dong will wait for the corpse to be examined, and then send someone to call Lone and Miao Ling."

As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to leave, making it clear that he didn't want to bother with the family's affairs anymore.

Although Shen Lingxi wanted to see Mu Xue'e's corpse, but in this situation, he also knew that it was good to stay away, so he also turned around.

The two of them were about to leave—

"Miss Shen, please stay."

Mu Huai'an, who had never spoken, walked up to Shen Lingxi in a few steps and bowed to her uprightly.

"Miss Shen, please also look at the love of you and me acquaintances, check the body of the sister, Miss Shen has always been kind-hearted, upright, jealous and hateful, the sister is not a suicide person, this case must be strange, I believe that the girl does not want the murderer to get away with it, and ask the girl to help."

After speaking, he winked at her in a matter-of-fact manner.

This is the tacit code when Mu Huaian and Shen Lingxi sang a double reed together.

Shen Lingxi leaned back.

She had long seen that Mu Huai'an was not close to his sister Mu Xue'e.

This is the first time for Mu Huai'an, with such an attitude, please ask her for help.

Originally, Shen Lingxi had promised to help Mu Huaian investigate the case. All he had to do was use that promise to ask her to help.

At such a time, what do you say "kind-hearted, upright, jealous and hateful"......

He would never have said such a thing before.

But at this moment, saying this in front of Mrs. Zhou is tantamount to slapping his stepmother in the face.

Shen Lingxi knew that Mu Huai'an insisted on asking her to perform an autopsy for Mu Xue'e, and there must be a reason.

He opened his mouth, and seeing that he had helped him a lot in the past, she had no reason to refuse.

"Since Shaoqing opened his mouth to ask for help, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." Shen Lingxi nodded in response.

Chu Yan took in the expressions of the two of them, and his eyes were slightly dark.

If it had been before, he would have said that he was leaving, and he would have strode away.

But now, seeing that Shen Lingxi agreed to stay, he did not hesitate to withdraw his step, turned back to the hall, and found a chair to sit down at random.

Chun Junyuan was still standing at the foot of the steps, waiting to follow his master back to the palace.

Seeing that Chu Yan walked back again, he was stunned for a moment, and also returned to the hall.

Chu Yan's repeated attitude was unabashedly moved with Shen Lingxi, so that the clear-eyed people in the hall could see the clues.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou felt even more bitter for her daughter in her heart.

Cheng'en Gong Mu Tiangang's face is not very good-looking.

Mu Huai'an had already expected this to be the case, his eyes drooped slightly, and he made a "please" gesture towards Shen Lingxi.

Shen Lingxi turned around and walked towards Mu Xue'e's body.

With Mu Huai'an in front, Mrs. Zhou didn't stop her anymore, holding the hands of the servants and maids beside her, wiping her tears and letting them aside.

But in the end, Shen Lingxi was not at ease, and he was still very resentful of her in his heart, so he didn't go far, staring at her with a pair of eyes.

Chengen Gong Mu Tiangang glanced at Mu Huai'an, calmed his face, walked to Chu Yan's head, and sat down.

Shen Lingxi stood next to Mu Xue'e's body.

Chao Chuyan and Dong Lixin said: "This time I came in a hurry, I didn't bring the tools of the autopsy, but also a simple inspection, only for the reference of the embroidery envoy and the internal guard to investigate the case. ”

Chu Yan bowed his head and pointed at Chunjun to record behind Shen Lingxi.

Dong Lixin said respectfully: "It should be like this, there is a long way to go." ”

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she covered her face with a handkerchief to cover the contempt on her face.

Sure enough, it's a fox who can only pretend to be a ghost.

It seems that the so-called "autopsy" is just a trick for her to seduce men.

Shen Lingxi didn't care about the attitude of other people at all, and when she saw that the person presiding over the case should respond, she lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.

Mu Xue'e's face instantly met her eyes.

Shen Lingxi had already looked around since he first found Mu Xue'e's body, and he didn't find her dead soul nearby.

And those female ghosts obviously haven't seen Mu Xue'e either, otherwise, they will tell her as soon as possible.

On the way here, Shen Lingxi had already asked them to find Mu Xue'e, if they could find Mu Xue'e and ask the reason, it would be more convenient than an autopsy.

But now, before finding her soul, she can only start with the corpse.

Shen Lingxi touched the cheek of the corpse with his fingertips, and while examining it, he dictated it so that it could be recorded by Chunjun.

"The eyes are closed, the lips are black, the lips are open, and the tip of the tongue is out of the door......"

She raised her eyes to look at Dong Lixin, "Is the rope strangled under the throat?" ”

Dong Lixin's face was full of solemnity: "What the Taoist chief said is right, the rope is indeed strangled under the throat." ”

Shen Lingxi nodded.

If it is for others, she should use her exposed tongue to help the deceased push back.

But after all, she was conducting an autopsy on behalf of her, and she still had to be examined and recorded in the official documents before she could restore the body to its former state.

In addition to the exposed tongue, the rest of the body also showed the state of death, in the end, it was a horizontal death, and the death was very embarrassing.

She examined it and continued:

"The face is purple-red, and there is saliva at the corners of the lips and chest......"

"Thumbs should be held in both hands, blood should be in the legs, and urine and urine should flow out......"

"There are two cord marks under the throat, one is purple and red, with a shade of blood, and the other is white, with no shade of blood......"

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi raised his eyes to look at everyone, his expression was solemn, and he said categorically: "She is definitely not a suicide. ”

Blood shade: refers to bleeding under the skin.
