Chapter 186: Moved, Investigating the Case (Part 2)



These words made everyone present change color. They looked at Luo Xuening in astonishment. Her reasoning directly overturned the coroner's examination just now, which was equivalent to directly reversing the entire fact.

The emperor immediately looked unhappy. He just wanted Luo Xuening to be a witness for Concubine Jing to prove that Concubine Jing was not at the scene when Miss Yun died.

He wanted to give an explanation to Lady Yun and convince all the ministers of the matter, and at the same time, save his beloved concubine. However, who could have asked Luo Xuening to directly overturn the coroner's conclusion?

The emperor looked surprised, and his intention was very clear. Did Luo Xue Ning really not know, or was she pretending not to know?

"Luo Xue Ning, how did you come to these conclusions? I want you to give a reasonable explanation."

Luoxue understood the emperor's thoughts. The emperor was dissatisfied with her words and actions, so he was putting pressure on her.

However, Luo Xuening didn't care about the emperor's dissatisfaction. She didn't expect the emperor to stand on her side.

However, since the emperor asked, and since so many people doubted her conclusion, she would explain it clearly.

"Your Majesty, I did come to this conclusion after examining the corpse. What I said was not meant to flatter the people and gain favor."

Luo Xuening spoke calmly. She knew that the old emperor was unhappy, so she still had to make it clear what she needed to say.

In order to prevent some people from making up rumors and saying that she was trying to please Concubine Jing by distorting the facts and taking the blame, she was unwilling to bear the blame, so it was better to say the ugly words in advance.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that this girl was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

But her frankness and honesty made the emperor, who had many ideas in mind, feel embarrassed.

Living to his age and in his position, he was accustomed to intrigues and deceptions. No matter inside or outside the palace, no matter concubines or court officials, everyone who spoke only revealed half of their intentions. However, it was rare to find someone as straightforward as Luo Xuening.

A trace of deep thought flashed across the emperor's stern face, and he glanced at Concubine Jing Lin Shihan from the corner of his eye. The reason why he valued Lin Shihan so much was because Lin Shihan never concealed her emotions in front of him and even threw a little temper.

For the emperor, it was a new experience. He also envied those who could act recklessly and show their temper. He envied and admired their willfulness.

However, in contrast, the emperor felt that Concubine Jing's temper was more in line with Luo Xuening's true nature.

"Your Majesty, before I answer, I would like to ask the imperial physician and the coroner a few questions."

Luo Xuening had no idea what the emperor was thinking, nor did she know that some of her humane, even courageous, behaviors had unconsciously made the almighty emperor look up to her.

However, even if she knew, Luo Xuening would not change a thing. She never dreamed of being appreciated by the unattainable emperor.

"Ask me."

The emperor's tone was obviously much gentler than before. If Luo Xue Ning had been more careful, she would have noticed that the emperor's eyes were no longer vigilant. However, Luo Xue Ning had been keeping her head down, so she didn't notice this slight change.

"Excuse me, Imperial Physician, when did the poison that Little Lady Yun contracted take effect? ​​How long will the poison remain dormant in the body? What are the symptoms after being poisoned?"

After three questions came one after another, the imperial physician couldn't help but frown. The three questions seemed irrelevant, but in fact, they were closely related to the case. The imperial physician originally looked down on this woman who was just temporarily retired to judge the case. Now, listening to the questions she asked, he couldn't help but frown and think deeply.

The woman in front of me is not some rich lady who can only play the piano, write and paint. She has some real skills.

The imperial physician did not dare to delay and slowly pondered the question in his mind before beginning to answer.

"According to my judgment, this poison takes effect one hour after being poisoned, and the poison in Miss Yun's body does not seem to have latent symptoms. Moreover, when this poison takes effect, it is usually extremely painful, especially severe abdominal pain. But looking at Miss Yun, it doesn't seem to be the case."

Although the answer after careful consideration was not complete, at least the imperial physician's words of ethics gave the coroner some advice and reminded the people present at the same time.

"You mean, the poison took effect an hour ago. But, I want to ask you, Miss Yun, when did you die?"

The emperor thought about it and felt that what the imperial physician said was not right. His face immediately turned cold and he looked at the coroner indifferently with an unfriendly tone.

The coroner was so frightened by the emperor's glare that his face turned pale. He knelt in front of the emperor and repeatedly stated: "Your Majesty, I have judged that Miss Yun has been dead for two hours."

The emperor sneered. The poison took effect one hour ago, but the time of death was two hours ago. These two statements are self-contradictory. They didn't even know this and had to rely on an outsider to remind them?

Well, he is a capable minister of the emperor, but he even married a woman of standard. It is simply a disgrace to the emperor.

The emperor was trying his best to suppress his anger with a cold face: "Let me ask you again, are what you just said all true?"

The imperial physician and the coroner knelt down hurriedly. They wiped the sweat off their faces and said tremblingly, "It is the truth, it is the truth, Your Majesty. I would never dare to deceive Your Majesty."

Therefore, the facts are very clear. It is impossible for a person to die from poisoning after death. Then the cause of death of Miss Yun can only be completely overturned. Miss Yun was poisoned after death, rather than being poisoned to death. Then, the so-called Concubine Jing harmed Miss Yun, which is completely fabricated.

"Luo Xue Ning, I want you to immediately find out the cause of Miss Yun's death."

Finally, he realized that Luo Xue Ning's arrogance was well-founded. Although the emperor was always arrogant, he really valued talented people. Luo Xue Ning alone was worth several of his capable ministers.

At this moment, no matter how dissatisfied the emperor was with Luo Xuening, he had to suppress it in his heart. He really needed to find out the truth now.

Luoxue frowned, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. The emperor finally gave up the idea of ​​killing her. It was really cause for celebration.

However, Luo Xuening kept a calm expression throughout, and she did not show any secret joy at the change in the emperor's attitude. Such composure made the emperor look at Luo Xuening with a new respect.

Luo Xuening did not hesitate any longer. The emperor had already agreed to her request. Now, she ordered people to carry Miss Yun's body in.

Although Miss Yun was already dead, she was the emperor's woman and could not tolerate others watching her. In a closed space, she stripped Miss Yun's clothes off. Sure enough, Luo Xue condensed on Miss Yun's body and found different evidence.

There really was something else behind her death.
