Cremating a corpse is utterly incomprehensible in this day and age…
In this era, everyone believes that "our bodies, hair, and skin are given to us by our parents."
Even the most heinous criminals hope to remain physically intact after death...
Cremation here is tantamount to scattering bones to ashes.
Fortunately, the person who died wasn't actually the Nine Thousand Year Old.
The body to be cremated wasn't his either...
Yuan Yao immediately nodded: "Father, Yao'er will handle this matter well!"
Her father was once the powerful Ninth Prince, who held immense influence over the entire country.
In legends, he was ruthless, insane, and more terrifying than a ghost.
Therefore, it wouldn't be too surprising if the people of Qianhua Palace did anything utterly inhuman...
The Ninth Prince has just woken up and is still not in good spirits.
After Ying and Yun Chan took turns channeling their internal energy into him twice more, his complexion finally improved.
During this time, Xie Ning fed him another pill.
A corpse that looked exactly like the Ninth Prince was placed in the coffin...
Huaiyao glanced at the Ninth Prince, then at the corpse, and frowned, saying, "This is too similar!"
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that there were people in this world who could make such perfect disguises!
Today, she has truly broadened her horizons!
Xie Ning took the medicine powder and fiddled with it on the corpse.
As he worked, he smiled and said, "If it looks good, then it proves that my efforts these past few days haven't been in vain."
"Brother, Xiao Yao'er, Yun Chan, come and take a look. Can you still find any clues about this corpse?"
The Ninth Prince raised his hand.
Yuan Yao quickly got up and helped him up.
Walking to the coffin, gazing at the corpse lying inside, the Ninth Prince lowered his eyes.
The body was preserved almost perfectly.
She looks exactly like him!
He said calmly, "Very good."
His praise made Xie Ning's smile even brighter.
The Ninth Prince walked around the coffin once, then turned to Yuan Yao and asked, "Little Yao, is there anything you find amiss?"
What's wrong with it?
Yuan Yao stroked her chin, looking at the corpse in the coffin.
After looking at him for a moment, she frowned and said, "Compared to Father, this person has more calluses on his hands, and his fingers are not as slender and beautiful as Father's."
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince spread his fingers.
Xie Ning lightly slapped his forehead: "Look at me!" Then he laughed and said, "Brother, let me see your hand."
Nine Thousand Years Old: "..."
Seeing that the Ninth Prince was standing still, Xie Ning tossed his white hair that was hanging in front of him back and grabbed the Ninth Prince's hand: "Brother, let me take a look, just one glance."
The Ninth Prince frowned slightly.
Xie Ning pried open the Ninth Prince's fingers and observed them carefully for a moment.
Then, he let go of her hand and beckoned to Yun Chan: "Yun Chan, come here."
Yun Chan looked up: "What is it?"
Xie Ning smiled and said, "Come here, haven't I taught you a lot of skills?"
"You're in charge of removing the calluses from this corpse's hands."
Yun Chan: "..."
One must obey the instructions of one's elders.
Especially since this elder is Yuan Yao's uncle...
Yun Chan flexed her wrist and opened her palm towards Xie Ning.
Xie Ning chuckled and handed him the tools.
Yun Chan bent down and focused on working on the corpse's hands.
The corpse was completely dead, cold and stiff, but Yun Chan didn't even blink when she dealt with it.
After Yun Chan finished treating the calluses on the corpse's fingers, Yuan Yao touched his chin and said, "Father, Yao'er thinks this corpse is a bit bald?"
"bald?"
The Ninth Prince looked up.
Yuan Yao nodded: "Yes! This person's hair isn't as good as Father's, and the hair quality isn't good either!"
"puff……"
Huaiyao laughed out loud.
She raised an eyebrow: "I think Yuan Xiaoyao is right."
The corpse's hair was somewhat frizzy, and the strands weren't dark enough!
Yuan Yao nodded vigorously.
Indeed, girls are more observant!
Yun Chan raised her eyes, gave Yuan Yao a deep look, and said, "Junior Uncle."
Po Yue jumped out in response.
He bowed to the Ninth Prince, then took out a bunch of small porcelain bottles: "What do you want?"
Yun Chan simply said, "Wig, hair oil."
So, Poyue searched her pockets again and threw a lot of things to Yunchan.
In front of the Ninth Prince, Yun Chan suppressed her obsessive-compulsive disorder and continued to dispose of the corpse.
Before long, a corpse exactly like the Ninth Prince lay perfectly intact in the coffin, not even a single strand of hair could be distinguished from the original…
Yuan Yao exclaimed in amazement, "Father, this is so realistic that even I can't tell the difference!"
Suddenly, Xie Ning came over and asked with a smile, "Is Uncle more capable, or Yun Chan?"
Yuan Yao: "..."
She glanced at Xie Ning, then at Yun Chan.
Xie Ning looked at her with a smile, while Yun Chan looked at her with a calm expression.
Yuan Yao felt that she was going to become the bald one!
This question is just like asking "If your mother and your girlfriend fell into the water, who would you save first?" It's utterly absurd!
Yuan Yao tugged at her hair, trying to show a sincere expression: "Yun Chan is so amazing, it's all thanks to Uncle's excellent teaching!"
"Pfft..." Xie Ning burst out laughing.
He looked at the Ninth Prince: "Brother, Xiao Yao'er is so eloquent, unlike you."
Yuan Yao sticks out his tongue.
The Ninth Prince gave Xie Ning a cool look: "I'm hungry."
Yuan Yao said happily, "Father, Yao'er will go to the kitchen right away!"
It's good to be hungry!
He was hungry, which meant that his bodily functions were recovering...
Huaiyao said from the side, "Yuan Xiaoyao, I'll go with you."
Yuan Yao nodded: "Mhm!"
None of the palace servants of Qianhua Palace were allowed to enter the courtyard of Yuehua Hall.
Even Jing'er and Aruo were no exception...
Yuan Yao and Huai Yao, both dressed in mourning clothes, went to the kitchen: "This princess and I are hungry, is there anything to eat?"
The imperial chef asked, "Princess, the kitchen has been keeping porridge on the stove, warming it up. If you're hungry, may I go and get you some?"
Porridge?
Yuan Yao nodded: "Serve more, and prepare some light and delicious side dishes as well."
"good."
The imperial chef roused himself and hurriedly went to serve the porridge and prepare the side dishes, packing them into a food box.
After taking the food, the two turned back to the Moonflower Palace.
After lying in bed for several days, the Ninth Prince had an unusually good appetite.
He drank most of the small pot of porridge.
After drinking the porridge, he said to Yuan Yao, "Pray incense for the Emperor for me, and while you're at it, also mention the cremation to the Crown Prince."
Yuan Yao nodded obediently: "Okay, Daddy."
The Ninth Prince waved his hand: "Go."
Yuan Yao hesitated slightly: "Father, Yao'er is back. Are you still here?"
"What do you think?" The Ninth Prince smiled and looked at her.
Yuan Yao: "..."
For some reason, she felt inexplicably insecure...
Stepping out of the Moonflower Palace, Yuan Yao turned around.
She opened her big eyes and looked at the Ninth Prince sitting on the soft couch, her voice sweet and coquettish: "Father, you have to wait for Yao'er to come back!"
The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "Alright."
Yuan Yao continued, "Then Yao'er left?"
The Ninth Prince remained expressionless: "Very well."
Yuan Yao was relieved and took Huai Yao's hand, saying, "Let's go."
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were outside the gates of the Moonflower Palace.
No sooner had she left than the Ninth Prince's expression changed drastically.
"puff……"
A mouthful of black blood was sprayed onto the fine cashmere floor mat.
Xie Ning's hand holding the teacup trembled: "Brother!"
The Ninth Prince raised his hand: "Don't...make a fuss."
He raised his hand and wiped the blood from his lips with the pad of his thumb: "The last mouthful of poisonous blood has finally been expelled."
Xie Ning breathed a long sigh of relief: "Although the poisoned blood has been expelled, brother needs to leave the capital to recuperate as soon as possible."
Damage to the lungs and internal organs must be properly treated.
"Brother, the day after tomorrow, at the latest, Master and I must take you away from the capital!"
Leaving Beijing?
So fast?
The Ninth Prince gazed intently: "But, Xiao Yao'er can't leave yet. I can't leave her alone..."
Xie Ning said, "Then let's find a way to take her away!"
