Hua Yuanzhao roughly guessed what Rong Xiu was thinking. She half-knelt on the ground and picked up the scalpel again.
Just when everyone thought she was going to dissect out something besides the heart, Hua Yuanzhao asked, "Can you help me turn her over?"
She said it lightly, but everyone's stomach was churning and they felt so nauseous that they almost vomited.
Rong Xiu waved her hand, and two people immediately came forward and helped her turn Han Yunlan over without saying a word.
Hua Yuanzhao looked at the two men with resolute expressions and normal faces, and nodded secretly. As the saying goes, like generals, like soldiers. Judging from the performance of these two men, Rong Xiu should be a good general.
Now was not the time to think too much, so she quickly put away her thoughts, lowered her eyes and focused her gaze back on Han Yunlan.
Hua Yuanzhao held the knife and lightly scratched the heart of the corpse, deftly pushing aside the flesh to reveal the yellowish white bones. His eyes scanned the bones carefully, and Hua Yuanzhao understood clearly.
Rong Xiu, who was squatting beside Hua Yuanzhao, also curled his lips and waved at Gu Changsu: "Wouldn't your Highness the Third Prince come and take a look?"
Gu Changsu's face turned pale. He had already reached his limit of endurance. How could he possibly go forward and check the body in person?
Looking at the blurred flesh and blood on the corpse, Gu Changsu felt even more chest tightness. He looked away in disgust, and stood there as if his feet were rooted, unwilling to move even half a step.
Rong Xiu raised his eyes and gave a wink, and the soldier standing behind Gu Changsu suddenly raised his hand and pushed Gu Changsu.
Gu Changsu lost his balance and stumbled forward. Fortunately, Prime Minister Hua beside him was quick to catch his arm and prevented him from falling on the corpse.
Even so, his face darkened, a burst of anger burst out, and he was about to curse.
"Rong Xiu, you——"
"Did the Third Prince see it?" Rong Xiu said without raising his head, interrupting Gu Changsu's curse before he could utter it.
"There is an obvious small hole on the second rib of this corpse, which is obviously left by a needle piercing the bone." Rong Xiu said slowly: "Anyone who can pierce bones with a silver needle must have deep internal strength."
He tilted his head to look at Hua Yuanzhao, with a warm color gathering in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
When Rong Xiu looked at Gu Changsu, there was only disgust in his eyes. He continued to ask Gu Changsu: "How can the eldest daughter of the Hua family kill people when she is weak as a chicken?"
Gu Changsu was speechless and tried to think of a reason quickly, but Rong Xiu had already stood up.
"No wonder there have been so many false and wrongful cases in the Dali Temple in recent years. It turns out that it's all because of the Third Prince's 'wise decision'!" Rong Xiu's words were full of sarcasm, and Gu Changsu blushed with embarrassment.
After saying that, Rong Xiu waved his hand and ordered his soldiers: "Come on, take the body away!"
Gu Changsu was stunned, and then flew into a rage. He scolded, "Rong Xiu, do you still have any respect for the law?"
"This is a case from the Dali Temple. You, Rong Xiu, said to conduct an autopsy, so you conduct an autopsy. You said to take the body away, so you take it away. Do you still have the emperor in your eyes? Do you think the laws of the court are decided by your Rong family?"
Gu Changsu's face turned ashen with anger. If he let Rong Xiu take the person away so easily today, where would he put his face?
"Come here, leave the body to me!" Gu Changsu flicked his sleeves and gave the same order.
Song Zuo and the others were filled with rage, waiting for this sentence, and immediately drew their swords and stepped forward.
As soon as the other party moved, Rongxiu's men moved without orders, and the long swords in their hands were unsheathed an inch, and the sound of weapons colliding was uniform.
The two sides immediately became tense and the atmosphere on the field was almost frozen.
