After the Prince of Dai left, Zu'an waved his hand and ordered, "Open the coffin and examine the body!"

"Yes!" Dai Laoqi and Chen Laoba bowed and then led their men to the coffin in the center of the mourning hall.

Even though I know it's just a formality, I still have to go through it.

Seeing the men roughly push open the coffin lid, Princess Jin nearly fainted: "Be gentle, don't disturb Prince Jin."

Zu An said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, rest assured, they know what they're doing. Your Highness can go out and avoid them for a while."

This situation seemed rather cruel to her.

"No, I want to stay here." Princess Jin stubbornly raised her head, looking sadly at her husband's coffin, tears involuntarily falling again.

Zu An thought to himself, "Is this woman made of water? She's been crying since the beginning, and she's crying again now."

Seeing her insistence, Zu'an didn't say anything and signaled his men to begin.

Soon, the professional coroner brought by the Embroidered-Robed Envoy began to examine the body. Because the Prince of Jin had only recently died, and there was cold jade and ice in the coffin, the body was well preserved and there was no decay or decomposition.

Apart from his face being a bit ashen, he looked no different from how he had looked before.

It should be noted that Prince Jin was usually sickly and his face was pale.

The coroner's actions were quite professional; he opened a toolbox and took out various tools to examine every inch of Prince Jin's body.

After a while, the coroner put his tools back in his bag, washed his hands in the copper basin, and nodded to Zu An: "Commander, the examination is complete."

Zuan nodded, indicating that he could leave.

The cause of Prince Jin's death had already been determined in advance; all of this was just for show.

Unexpectedly, Princess Jin suddenly called out to them, "Wait, what were the test results?"

The coroner hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Zu An.

Seeing this, Princess Jin mustered her courage and approached Zu An, looking up at him: "As a family member of the victim, don't I have the right to know the cause of my husband's death?"

Perhaps because she was usually timid and quiet, and this time she had mustered up her courage for once, her face was slightly red and her chest was heaving rapidly. Clearly, she was a little scared in front of the legendary tyrant, the Embroidered-Robed Envoy.

Seeing her appearance, Zu An couldn't help but think of the scene from the old Three Kingdoms series in his previous life, where Zhou Yu died young and Xiao Qiao, dressed in mourning clothes, was heartbroken at the funeral hall.

He sighed inwardly and gestured for the coroner to tell the truth.

The coroner nodded: "Reporting to Princess Consort Jin, Prince Jin died because he was weak and sickly, and his emotions were too agitated. He died of shock and anger."

"What?!" Princess Jin exclaimed in shock. "Wasn't the Prince murdered by that Zu An?"

The coroner said solemnly, "Please trust my professionalism, Your Highness."

He was ostensibly performing an autopsy, but in reality, he was cleaning up the mess.

After what he just did, even if other coroners come to examine the case, they will only come to the same conclusion.

The Embroidered-Robe Envoy is the most professional in every aspect.

“But so many people saw it…” Princess Jin murmured to herself.

“Seeing is not necessarily believing,” Zuan replied.

Princess Jin bit her lip tightly, her whole body trembling slightly, whether from excitement or something else, it was hard to tell.

After a while, she said softly, "Commander, there are some things I want to say to you alone."

As he spoke, he glanced at the other embroidered-robed envoys.

Zuan hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand, signaling his men to leave.

Those embroidered messengers were of no use. How could the Princess Consort of Jin, a weak woman, possibly harm the unfathomable Grand Commander?

After the embroidered-clad messengers left, Princess Jin said to the maids beside her, "You may all leave as well."

The maid hesitated for a moment: "But this is a bit..."

She couldn't say it directly; it was somewhat improper for a man and a woman to be alone in a room together.

Princess Jin snorted: "In the Prince's mourning hall, do you think the Grand Commander would dare to bully a weak woman like me?"

The maid thought about it and agreed. This embroidered-robed envoy commander gave her a terrifying feeling, which was why she didn't want to stay here any longer.

After everyone had left, Zu An secretly transmitted his voice, "Dai Laoqi and Chen Laoba, take this opportunity to ask the servants in the mansion for information."

"Yes!" Dai Laoqi and Chen Laoba bowed towards the direction of the house, then left with a group of men. They then ordered the remaining men to guard the perimeter and not allow anyone to enter and disturb the area without the Grand Commander's order.

The embroidered-robed messengers didn't think much of it. Given the situation just now, it was clear that the Princess Consort of Jin had some confidential matters to discuss with the Grand Commander, so naturally, they couldn't allow anyone to disturb her.

After the surroundings quieted down, Zu An looked at the woman opposite him dressed in mourning clothes. Indeed, a woman can be beautiful even in mourning clothes...

He frowned. Why did he have so many random thoughts today? Could it be that Nan Xun had just stirred them up?

He composed himself and coughed lightly: "What does Your Highness wish to say to me?"

Princess Jin suddenly walked up to him, then knelt down before him with a thud, choking back tears as she said, "Please, Commander-in-Chief, do justice for me!"

"Your Highness, please rise!" Zu An was startled. Although the Embroidered-Robe Envoy held a superior position, if someone saw this scene, they would inevitably criticize him.

He instinctively helped her up, but only realized his mistake when he touched her smooth skin. However, it would be too obvious to pull back now, so he could only help her up discreetly.

Upon closer inspection, a faint, pleasant fragrance emanated from the other person.

Although she was keeping vigil for Prince Jin today, Princess Jin dressed very simply and did not wear any makeup. However, women always have a unique fragrance.
