Chapter 73 Becomes Taboo
After the news of Doctor Feng's death spread, the Imperial Medical Office was immediately placed under strict guard by the palace guards.
The leader of the guards was just about to send someone to notify Ye Linghan when he saw Ye Linghan appear outside the gate.
After listening to the report from the chief guard, Ye Linghan walked in with a gloomy face. Ye Lingchen also put away his usual playful expression and followed quietly behind.
Doctor Feng's body was in the room where he usually rested. It was specially prepared for him by the Imperial Hospital. Except for his apprentice, no one else would enter.
The room was not big. As soon as Ye Linghan entered, he saw Doctor Feng lying on the table.
His face was pressed against the table, his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something extremely horrifying, his mouth was half open, blood was flowing out of his mouth, covering the entire table.
Ye Linghan looked at the corpse from top to bottom, then looked around.
Finally, he looked at the head of the guards and asked in a deep voice, "Has the autopsy been done?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingchen secretly glanced at Ye Linghan.
The leader bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Reporting to the Regent, I have sent someone to notify the Ministry of Justice, but no one has come yet."
Ye Linghan did not get angry after hearing this, because he knew how busy the Ministry of Justice was at the moment.
"Go get a royal physician to perform an autopsy."
In his opinion, the imperial physician is a doctor, and examining the cause of death is not a problem.
"yes!"
"Who discovered the body first?" Ye Linghan asked again.
A young man who had been cowering in the corner of the door hurried over and knelt on his knees: "Reply to the Regent, it's a villain."
Ye Linghan lowered his eyes to look at him and said coldly: "Tell us what happened at that time word for word."
The young man's shoulders trembled, and he stammered, "I am... an apprentice serving Doctor Feng. Originally... Doctor Feng said he wanted to rest in the room for a while, and asked me... to go in and call him... in an hour..."
The young man seemed to have thought of some horrible scene. His shoulders were shaking more and more, and his voice was filled with tears: "When I went in... an hour later... I saw... Doctor Feng spitting blood... and lying on the table..."
Ye Linghan was annoyed by the boy's crying and interrupted him directly, "Was he dead at that time?"
"Dead...dead..." the young man suppressed his fear and replied, "I went to check and found that Doctor Feng had...died..."
"What time was it?"
The young man frowned and thought for a moment, then answered with certainty: "Between the hours of Wei and Shen."
"Why are you so sure?" Ye Linghan's eyes revealed a look of doubt.
The young man hurriedly explained: "I was afraid of making a mistake, so when Doctor Feng said he needed to rest, I checked the time."
"Have you seen anyone else enter or leave this room during this time?"
The young man looked terrified: "I was busy getting medicine and didn't notice..."
Ye Linghan was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "And then?"
The young man was no longer as scared as he was at the beginning, and his words were clearer: "Then I wanted to go out and call for help, but as soon as I opened the door, I saw a guard who said he was sent by you to summon Doctor Feng."
Ye Linghan fell into deep thought again, and he roughly went over the whole thing in his mind.
Not long after Wuxin escaped, Doctor Feng was murdered. Is there any connection between them?
The reason why he went to see Doctor Feng was because he had no intention.
He remembered that Doctor Feng said that Wuxin was injured too badly and the possibility of waking up was slim. However, Wuxin not only woke up, but also injured Yingyi and escaped.
What's going on?
Is Doctor Feng lying, or are his medical skills not that good?
The leader of the guards happened to come back at this time, followed by an old doctor with a pale face.
"Greetings, Prince Regent." The old doctor's surname was Zheng, and he was the most senior doctor in the Imperial Medical Bureau besides Doctor Feng.
Ye Linghan raised his hand: "Find out the cause of death as soon as possible."
Doctor Zheng did not dare to delay and quickly got up and walked towards the corpse.
But he was confused in his heart. Shouldn't a coroner be consulted for such a matter? How to find him to do it?
Although doctors can also determine the cause of death, they can only judge from the perspective of illness or injury. Unlike coroners, they will not be able to combine some strange methods of killing. If the investigation is delayed, won't he be implicated?
Ye Lingchen watched Doctor Zheng examine the body, with a thoughtful look on his face...
After a long while, Doctor Zheng finally finished the examination and walked carefully to Ye Linghan: "Your Majesty, I think Doctor Feng died of a sudden illness."
"What did you say!" Ye Linghan glared at him sharply, almost giving Doctor Zheng a heart attack.
Doctor Zheng's body swayed, and after barely stabilizing himself, he immediately explained anxiously: "Please calm down, Regent! This is based on Doctor Feng's condition. Doctor Feng has no external injuries and no signs of poisoning, but he vomited a lot of blood. This is most likely internal bleeding, which is usually a sudden illness..."
As Doctor Zheng spoke, he secretly sighed in his heart that he was unlucky. This was not originally his job, but he was asked to do it, and then he was questioned. Why was he so unlucky?
Even though Ye Linghan was angry, he knew that Doctor Zheng would not dare to lie to him, but such a result would be useless in investigating the case.
After all this time, it turned out that Doctor Feng had a sudden illness, wasn't he killed?
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely quiet, and coupled with the horrific looking corpse, it seemed extremely weird.
At this moment, Ye Lingchen quietly came to Ye Linghan like a thief, first looked at Ye Linghan, then looked away, looking like a coward who had something to say but didn't dare to say it.
Ye Linghan could no longer bear it and shouted angrily: "If you have something to say, just say it!"
Ye Lingchen was waiting for this sentence. He did not delay at all and immediately replied: "Royal brother, how about... let Su Xing take a look?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Linghan's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes looked even more terrifying, as if he wanted to eat someone.
Ye Lingchen was so frightened that he took a step back, lowered his head, and no longer looked at Ye Linghan.
Ye Linghan had actually thought of Su Xing a long time ago, but he also thought of what happened last time, and the anger that had been suppressed was ignited again.
He immediately gave up the idea of looking for Su Xing. He didn't want to mention it himself and didn't let others mention it.
Su Xing seemed to have become a taboo for him, and no one, including himself, could touch him.
Ye Lingchen guessed that Ye Linghan would be angry, but he didn't expect him to be so angry.
But this also shows how profound Su Xing's influence on Ye Linghan is.
So he decided to take another risk: "Brother, it is more important to investigate the case. Maybe... Su Xing can really find other clues? At worst, we can just wait for him to finish the autopsy and then drive him away."
After saying this, he thought of something else and quickly added, "I will go find him myself. It has nothing to do with you. How about this..."
He really tried his best. If Ye Linghan still insisted, there was nothing he could do.
At worst, he could just have two wedding banquets and prepare two big gifts. He was too lazy to worry about it anymore. He was really exhausted...
Ye Linghan didn't say anything and retracted his gaze. The expression on his handsome face was uncertain and no one knew what he was thinking.
Just when Ye Lingchen was about to give up, he suddenly heard a voice: "Go quickly!"
