As she spoke, Granny Wei cried, “Your Majesty, this old servant heard a rumor that the Empress did not die of illness, nor was she poisoned; she was… eaten by them!”

"What?" Yin Jin'an thought she had misheard.

"Your Majesty, you heard right. Someone said that the Empress was devoured by them..."

Yin Jin'an felt his blood run cold. Although he wasn't the real Xiao Jin'an, he was descended from Wei Mu. As the emperor, if he couldn't avenge his birth mother, he shouldn't sit on the throne.

Jiutian was so frightened that he clung to Yin Jin'an's arm. What kind of people are the Xia Kingdom? The thirteenth prince ate a child's kidney, and the queen of the country was actually eaten?

"Tell me slowly, where did you hear this news from?"

"This old servant never expected that over the years, the Ninth Prince's mansion had killed several servants. One of them wasn't quite dead yet and ran back from the mass grave, saying that the Ninth Prince had drunk the Empress's blood and was about to die, but suddenly he recovered!"

Granny Wei burst into tears, “This old servant reported to His Majesty, and His Majesty angrily summoned the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince interrogated the servant severely and later said that the servant was retaliating against the Ninth Prince's mansion and was talking nonsense. But this old servant believes that there is no smoke without fire, and His Majesty should investigate thoroughly!”

Xiahou Yan entered, knelt down with a thud, and choked out to Yin Jin'an, "I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly and avenge the Empress Dowager."

If this is true, I will definitely take revenge!

This is beyond my imagination. Yin Jin'an frowned and said to Xiahou Yan, "I have issued an edict ordering the Dali Temple to investigate this matter thoroughly. Gu Bahuang and Wang Can will oversee the investigation. You should also send someone to keep an eye on it. No matter who it is, those who harmed the Empress Dowager must not be let off the hook."

"Your Majesty, although Huo Dao and Xue Jingfei disobeyed Your Majesty's wishes and attacked the imperial city on their own, it was because they hated the retired emperor and were unwilling to serve him. Your Majesty, I implore you to appoint Huo Dao."

Yin Jin'an frowned and said, "I heard that Huo Dao and the others were all killed in the explosion."

"Huo Dao is still alive. I beg General Gu to keep him in solitary confinement..." Xiahou Yan said with his head bowed, "I have overstepped my bounds."

Yin Jin'an ordered Huo Dao to be summoned.

More than a month has passed. Huo Dao lost an arm in the explosion, but his other injuries are almost healed.

Upon seeing Yin Jin'an, he immediately knelt down: "Master, this servant knows his mistake."

"Huo Dao, I have ordered the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the Empress Dowager's death. You and Xiahou Yan will investigate together. Are you willing?"

Huo Daotou kowtowed loudly and replied, "This servant is willing."

Wang Can was also shocked upon hearing this, and said angrily, "I will definitely investigate thoroughly and find out the truth."

After this matter was arranged, Huo Dao went to investigate with Wang Can, Gu Bahuang, and the Dali Temple, while Xiahou Yan continued to guard Yin Jin'an's safety.

Jiutian looked at Yin Jin'an and comforted him, "Second Uncle, don't be sad. The bad guys will definitely be caught. Jiutian will help Second Uncle figure out how the Empress Dowager died."

Summon Granny Wei again and ask her if she knows Wei Mu's birth date and time.

Granny Wei said she knew, as she celebrated the Empress Dowager's birthday every year!

Jiutian began to calculate in front of them, and when he finished, his face turned pale.

With teary eyes, she looked at Yin Jin'an and asked, "Second Uncle, if I tell the truth, will you be very sad?"

This one sentence basically confirmed that what Granny Wei heard was not unfounded, and Granny Wei cried her heart out.

Xiahou Yan also knelt down, his eyes wide with fury, and pleaded, "Please, Master, avenge the Empress."

Yin Jin'an was so angry that his aura turned icy cold, but fearing he might frighten Jiu Tian, ​​he tried to keep his voice steady and asked, "Jiu Tian, ​​can you help your uncle figure out who was involved?"

Granny Wei rushed over, crying, and grabbed Jiutian's Taoist robe, saying, "Princess Longxiang, please, please count who was involved in the murder of the Empress Dowager."

Yin Jin'an had already witnessed the divine power of the Nine Heavens, and said to Xiahou Yan, "Summon Wang Can and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. Have them write down the results calculated by the Nine Heavens."

Xiahou Yan summoned Wang Can and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and also summoned the Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review to record the events.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, unaware of the wonders of the Nine Heavens, frowned slightly.

Upon receiving His Majesty's decree to thoroughly investigate the Empress Dowager's death, he already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on—Chu Jiang and Chu Hanhua were responsible for the death, and Minister Cui was also involved. The case could be closed by exterminating the nine generations of both families.

However, Wang Can told him that Wei Mu's death was not simple.

When the group arrived at the Imperial Study, they saw that Granny Wei's eyes were swollen from crying, and Xiahou Yan's eyes were also somewhat red. Wang Can's heart sank, and he knew that it was worse than he had imagined.

“My esteemed ministers, Princess Longxiang has already foreseen that the Empress Dowager’s death was far more tragic than you imagine.”

Yin Jin'an was wearing a mask, but she couldn't hide her anger. "Write down the names of the murderer and his accomplices."

The Chief Justice and Vice Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review were taken aback. They hadn't even asked them yet, and they already knew the criminal's name?

Jiutian felt very sad. She looked at Yin Jin'an again and said, "Second Uncle, maybe you shouldn't listen to this?"

"I can hold out, so please speak freely."

Wang Can, naturally aware of Jiutian's power, said, "Princess Longxiang, please speak freely, and I will certainly write it down quickly."

“Good,” Jiutian said, “Empress Dowager’s flesh and blood have been devoured!”

"What?"

"ah?"

Her words startled Wang Can and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, causing them to jump up and drop their pens to the ground.

Jiutian cried, "It's true! Many people bled her blood and took it back to cure their illnesses. After the Empress Dowager died, they started eating her flesh, saying that eating it would make them immune to all diseases and prolong their lives..."
