Perhaps it's a combination of both.

Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan and said, "If Young Master Mei wants to use you to take revenge on Earl Suchang and his wife, then what he said is very likely true."

Xie Jingyan said, "I will send a memorial to the palace in a moment and persuade my father to allow the Ministry of Justice to conduct an autopsy on Consort Mei."

Hopefully, we can find some clues.

I prayed silently in my heart.

Without disturbing Xie Jingyan as he reviewed the memorials, Shen Wan went back to her room.

It took Xie Jingyan a full hour to review all the memorials before sending them to the palace.

It was rare for the Emperor not to have to review memorials, and in a good mood, he wrote large characters in his study.

Xie Jingyan walked in, and the Emperor couldn't hide from him in time. He said, "I'm tired from reviewing memorials. Father, please write to relax your muscles."

Eunuch Yuan's eyes and mouth twitched simultaneously.

The Emperor doesn't even know his own son? Prince Ling would never believe that.

Xie Jingyan glanced at the few memorials on the imperial desk and asked, "Does Father still remember Consort Mei?"

emperor,"……???"

The Emperor doesn't quite remember.

The emperor had never paid much attention to his other concubines, and now that they had been dead for so many years, his memory of them had faded even further.

Eunuch Yuan reminded her, "It's about Consort Mei, who accidentally fell into the water and drowned in the palace..."

The Emperor looked at Xie Jingyan and asked, "Why did you bring her up out of the blue?"

Xie Jingyan said, "On the day my mother had her accident, she accidentally fell into the water and drowned in the palace. I suspect that her death is related to my mother's case."

It was indeed a coincidence.

The Emperor said, "But she has been dead for seven years, so even if we suspect her, there's no way to investigate."

Xie Jingyan said, "Have the Ministry of Justice exhume the body and perform an autopsy."

The emperor frowned deeply.
