784 Something Strange
Chen Yuanguan shouted, ” Lin Qingzhu, was it you who diagnosed song Qingyan’s illness? ”
“Yes!” Lin Qingzhu didn’t deny it. “when miss song was poisoned, I gave her a few antidotes. As long as she takes the medicine, the poison in her body will be cured!”
“However, after miss song took the prescription you gave her, her condition worsened. The poison in her body reappeared, and she died!” Chen yuanguan shouted.
“My Lord, I’ve been wronged!” Lin Qingzhu immediately cried out, ” I’m very sure that my medicine was definitely targeted at improving miss song’s condition. It was impossible for it to cause miss song’s death!”
“But song Qingyan’s death was indeed caused by the medicine you prescribed!” Chen Yuanguan said sharply, ” what do you have to say about this? ”
Lin Qingzhu said, ” my Lord, I don’t know the cause of miss song’s death. “I wonder if my Lord can allow me to examine miss song’s body? ”
“How audacious!” Chen yuanguan slammed the gavel on the table and said loudly, ” how can you insult miss song’s body in this way? ” In other words, he didn’t want Lin Qingzhu to examine the body.
Ancient times still respected the dead. They wanted to preserve the dead’s body as much as possible.
If it were murder or related to a case, the coroner would have to burn three joss sticks to the corpse before examining them. Then, he would burn three joss sticks to the sky to show his respect to the deceased.
Therefore, they would never allow an outsider to examine the corpse unless their family members allowed it. Otherwise, it would be an insult to the deceased, and they would be punished or sentenced.
When Lin Qingzhu heard this, he frowned as if thinking about what to do.
At this moment, Lin yuelan spoke.
Lin yuelan said, ” my Lord, the purpose of an autopsy is to seek justice for the deceased and prove the innocence of the innocent. I believe this is not an insult but the greatest respect! So, Your Excellency, in order to return the victim’s injustice and clear the Linmedicine Hall’s name, this commoner requests Your Excellency to allow miss song’s autopsy!”
Chen yuanguan was put in a difficult position. He looked at the third Prince, wanting to ask for Yuwen Feiye’s opinion. After all, song Qingyan was already his woman in name.
Yuwen Feiye was truly vexed. He felt as if he had shot himself in the foot.
Back then, he only wanted to teach Lin yuelan a profound lesson. At this moment, he wanted to be on good terms with her. Even if he couldn’t be on good terms with her, he couldn’t be on bad terms with her either. However, at this critical moment, he didn’t know what to choose.
However, on second thought, he realized that he had only given song Qingyan a hint. From the beginning to the end, no one else knew about their deal, and song Qingyan’s only partner in the deal was the Zeng Ji Medicine Hall.
With that thought, Yuwen Feiye had no more worries. Song Qingyan was not his real concubine anyway.
Yuwen Feiye immediately replied, ” I saw miss song’s graceful and stunning dance moves, so I redeemed her. I was planning to raise her in the manor to be a songstress, but she was not my concubine! I don’t know why there are such rumors outside.”
Yuwen Feiye ignored the fact that song Qingyan was his concubine. She was just an ordinary dancer.
Therefore, since Song Qingyan was no longer his concubine, it would be easy to examine song Qingyan’s body.
Chen yuanguan thought for a moment and said to the people below, “Someone, bring song Qingyan’s body up!”
Zeng Yiming, the chief Manager of Zeng ji medicine hall, turned pale after hearing the third Prince’s words.
What did the third Prince mean?
Could it be that he denied the fact that song Qingyan was his concubine?
If that were the case, then if they found something on song Qingyan, it would be very bad for him.
Zeng Yiming was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but the third Prince had a noble status and great power. If the third prince went back on his words, as long as he didn’t admit it, who could do anything to him?
After Chen yuanguan gave the order, song Qingyan’s body was carried to the court.
Song Qingyan’s face was purple, her lips were pale, and her eyes were dark. It was obvious that she had been poisoned!
Seeing that song Qingyan had really died, Zeng Yiming’s face turned pale. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as he muttered to himself, ” how did …”
