Chapter 207 Professional Match

Qinglu's recent movement was quite loud, and it soon alarmed Shuhong and two other servants in the next room. They came out, wearing clothes, and saw the dead rooster on the ground at a glance.

Shu Hong's face changed, and she hurried forward to pull Si Linglong into the house. After thinking for a while, she ordered the eunuch guarding the door, "Go and invite Concubine Quan."

It was the middle of the night and it was not good to alarm the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, but Concubine Quan was the one with the highest rank in the harem and the only one who was not sick this time. If something like this happened, she should be asked to step forward.

The young eunuch was about to leave when he called Si Linglong to stop him. She really wasn't that scared.

"Don't bother with it in the middle of the night. It's just a dead chicken. Tomorrow morning..."

Before she finished speaking, Shu Hong interrupted her without hesitation, "Your Highness, this dead chicken was dumped in front of your house in the middle of the night. This is definitely not a trivial matter. How can we rest assured if we don't catch the perpetrator?"

Having said that, he urged the young eunuch to go quickly without caring about Si Linglong's reaction.

When it comes to matters concerning Si Linglong's safety, Shu Hong always insists on her own opinion.

Si Linglong had no choice but to follow her.

When Gu Qingquan heard the news, she came wearing a fox fur coat and bringing two palace maids with her. She walked like the wind and was very dashing. Helian Yue also came with her.

Although no one dared to disturb the emperor in the middle of the night, he was naturally the first to receive the news when something happened to Si Linglong.

After all, a group of chickens were strangely bitten to death just today during the day, and now in the middle of the night someone threw dead chickens outside Si Linglong's door, not even outside the courtyard gate. This matter was not a simple accident that could be resolved.

When Helian looked over, he thought he would see a poor little guy shivering while holding a cup of hot tea.

As a result, when the two entered the yard, they saw candles lit in the main house, and there was no so-called "dead chicken" in front of the door. They thought it had been taken away.

When they walked in again, they were all stunned.

Okay? The dead chicken was lying on the table. Shuhong and Qinglu each held a candlestick to provide light. Si Linglong had put on her clothes, tied her sleeves, bent her waist, and held a pair of tweezers in her hand to examine the dead chicken on the table.

Or an autopsy?

[There is an obvious fatal wound on the neck, which should be caused by being bitten to death by some kind of sharp-toothed beast. The teeth are not deep, so the beast should not be big. ]

【Based on the blood coagulation situation, the estimated time of death is no more than three hours. 】

【Well, this is a fresh corpse. 】

The more Helian Yue heard her serious analysis, the corners of his mouth twitched.

A fresh corpse...

Does she think she is a coroner? !

If you encounter something like this, even if you don’t show fear, at least don’t act so “professional”, okay?

As a veterinary doctor, are you also in charge of examining animal corpses?

Although Gu Qingquan had seen Si Linglong's unusually sharp look when she treated her father, he had never expected her to be so courageous.

If an ordinary concubine encountered such a thing in the middle of the night, she would probably be frightened out of her wits.

Yet she had the guts to examine the dead chicken body directly.

This made her look at him with a different eye, and she couldn't help asking, "What did you see?"

When Si Linglong saw the two people, she stopped concentrating on the inspection. Her eyes lit up and she ran towards them in small steps with a surprised look on her face.

"Sister Quanfei! Your Majesty! You are finally here."

Gu Qingquan: ...There's no need to pretend like this.

Helian Yue: ...She called Concubine Quan first and then called me. Does this woman know the order of rank? Why should I be behind Concubine Quan?!

Glancing at her expressionlessly, Helian Yue bluntly exposed her, "My beloved concubine, you looked quite brave just now. You even dared to examine the corpse, huh?"

Si Linglong blinked when she heard this, with a somewhat innocent expression.

[Hmm, isn’t this… a perfect match for our profession…]
