Chapter 48 - Chapter 48 048. Taiji Palace Clash

At this time, Yan Shuo was not in the mood to watch the two of them bickering. He hurriedly interrupted them and said: "Ninth Aunt, we really want you to help us this time, the death of Tutor Yun and Madam has dealt a huge blow to Rong Er. We know that you have a lot of ideas, so we want you to accompany her more in our stead and advise her."

Tsk, what idea was that? Wasn't she saying that she had a rotten idea?

Liu Ruo Qing pursed her lips in her heart, but did not reject Kaiser's request. She was even pointing at Kaiser to be her backer, how could she refuse a good deed that had gained merits from Kaiser.

"That's not a big problem, but..."

She took another bite of the apple, thought back to the scene she saw last night, and said: "Are you sure those two corpses were Tutor's couple?!"

"Yes, we have arranged for the Ministry of Rites to take charge of the funeral of Tutor."

Yan Shuo didn't know why Liu Ruo Qing would ask this, but he still answered honestly.

But once he thought about how Rong Er looked like when she woke up and her emotions broke down, he knitted his eyebrows once again and no longer had any thoughts left in his mind.

Liu Ruo Qing suddenly laughed, attracting the gazes of the uncle and nephew duo at the same time.

She blinked her eyes at the uncle and nephew duo charmingly and said, "Do you dare to bet with me that Tutor Yun had already died before the fire?"

"What!"

Hearing that, Yan Shuo suddenly stood up from his chair, looking at him, he was extremely shocked, as though he did not believe what Liu Ruo Qing had said.

On the other hand, although Yan Yuan was also extremely shocked by her words, he did not have as much of a reaction as Yan Shuo did.

However, both of them thought of the same thing. If the Tutor Yun died before the fire, then this wouldn't be an accident.

"Are you sure?"

Yan Yuan asked calmly when he saw that although Liu Ruo Qing looked sloppy and sloppy, he seemed to have a plan in mind.

Liu Ruo Qing did not answer directly. Instead, she looked at Yan Yuan and asked, "Did you send anyone to investigate the cause of the fire?"

Although this question was asked with all seriousness, she always looked like a slob, lazily leaning back in her chair as she ate her apple.

Although Yan Yuan didn't want to answer her, he still nodded.

He had suspected that there was something wrong with this fire the previous night. After he returned, he ordered Jing Zhao Yin to thoroughly investigate this matter.

"Wait a moment, there will be news from Jing Zhao Yin's side."

Liu Ruo Qing bit onto the apple and after a few seconds of silence, she finished her last bite and asked the question again, "Do you dare to bet with me on my previous suggestion?"

Last night, he was completely focused on taking care of Rong Er, so he did not have time to think about anything. Now that Ninth Aunt mentioned it, he was somewhat suspicious.

The fire from yesterday was indeed enormous.

However...

The confidence on her face forced Yan Shuo to hesitate.

"Now that the body is already charred, does Ninth Aunt still have a way to prove that the Tutor was not burnt to death?"

The confident expression on Liu Ruo Qing's face made it impossible for him to doubt her suggestion. In addition to last night's strange fire …

However, the corpses were burnt beyond recognition, how could they prove that Tutor died before the fire?

Seeing Liu Ruo Qing stroke her bearded chin, her face was filled with mystery, "The mountain man naturally has a brilliant plan."

Yan Shuo and Yan Yuan looked at each other, then looked at Liu Ruo Qing and asked: "Then what does Ninth Aunt need us to do right now?"

"Where is the body now?"

"In Tai Chi Hall, we have ordered the torture officers to examine the corpses of the Tutor."

"Alright, let's go take a look."

This uncle and nephew duo did not know what was trying to say, and the three of them headed towards the imperial palace's Tai Chi Hall.

Tai Chi Palace was a place for the Imperial clan to store corpses before they were buried. Tutor Yun, as a teacher of the Kaiser, had always had a high prestige in the imperial court, and furthermore, because of the Miss Yun, the Kaiser placed more importance on the death of the Tutor Yun.

Liu Ruo Qing followed Yan Shuo and Yue Yang to Tai Chi Hall, where the torture officer was examining the corpses of Tutor Yun and his wife.

"My dear Official Yang, how's the test?"

When the Disciplinary Officer, Yang Shou Cheng heard Yan Shuo's voice, he immediately put down what he was doing and turned around.

"This humble subject pays my respects to Emperor, Prince Jing."

As for the Liu Ruo Qing who followed them in, because he was unfamiliar with her, he had naturally neglected her. Of course, he would not think that this young woman, would be a Crown Princess Jing of the King Jing Palace.

"No need for formalities."

Yan Shuo was a little anxious, he walked over to the two unrecognizable corpses and asked: "What's the result, are there any doubts?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, this humble subject has already carefully examined the corpses of the Master Tutor and Madam. The two of you were indeed burned to death."

"Are you sure?"

This time, the one who spoke was not Yan Shuo, but the Liu Ruo Qing who had been silent the entire time.

It was only when Liu Ruo Qing opened her mouth that Yang Shou Cheng truly noticed Liu Ruo Qing. To be able to directly snatch away the conversation between Emperor and himself, it seemed that this little lady was no ordinary servant girl.

Think about it, why would an ordinary servant girl follow behind Emperor and come to Tai Chi Palace?

This was where the corpses were kept.

"May I know who this lady is …"

Yang Shou Cheng naturally did not dare to be too rude to Liu Ruo Qing, even though he was slightly dissatisfied with Liu Ruo Qing suspecting that he had conducted an autopsy on him.

"Liu Tian Xin."

Liu Ruo Qing magnanimously introduced herself, the smile on her face was always filled with confidence.

Liu Tian Xin...

"You … You are Crown Princess Jing? "

The name Liu Tian Xin had already been known in the streets since the day she married into the Easternum, so Yang Shou Cheng naturally had heard of this name as well.

He was even more shocked now. He heard that the Prince Jing did not like the Crown Princess Jing and had a vicious dog humiliate her on the first day of their marriage. Why was he bringing her along with him when they entered the palace?

Although Yang Shou Cheng was a little shocked in his heart, he did not dare to voice the doubt in his heart. He only bowed and said: "This humble subject greets Crown Princess Jing."

"You're welcome."

Liu Ruo Qing was not used to the formalities of the ancients, she still walked in front of the corpse and lifted up the white cloth covering the corpse.

"Esteemed wangfei, you …"

Yang Shou Cheng was shocked.

"An autopsy."

At the same time Liu Ruo Qing answered Yang Shou Cheng's question, her gaze quietly swept across Tutor Yun's corpse once. Then, she walked towards Madam Yun and lifted the white cloth just the same.

The corpse was charred, and it looked shocking. Even the man who looked at it couldn't help but frown, and even felt nauseous.

who was in charge of the autopsy and was used to seeing dead people, had to take a long time to adapt when he first saw these two corpses.

Seeing Liu Ruo Qing staring at the two corpses without blinking, Yang Shou Cheng was shocked for a while.
