"What are you talking about?" Xi Mengyao was listening on the side, and could not help but ask.
At this time, Lu Ming was only looking at Song Chongjing.
Song Chongjing's face was also dark, but he shook his head and said: "... "Maybe."
"Speak clearly!" Xi Mengyao could no longer tolerate it and said another sentence.
Lu Ming then explained, not long ago, there was a huge case in the south saying that a brothel was burnt, the whole building was burnt up, and many women had died horribly.
However, the case was not so simple. In order to uncover the truth, almost all of the female coroners in the capital had gone there.
Now that the public was open to the public, it didn't matter if the coroner was a man or a woman. Therefore, no one thought too much about it.
Originally, it was the best case scenario in the past. Now that this person had gone, those evil men naturally could not touch Princess Qian Jin's precious body, so they could only ask the Prince to come and investigate what it was.
After Xi Mengyao heard these words, she only sneered: "So, you guys can only stay here and do nothing? I'll go and see her. "
As she spoke, she prepared to enter by herself.
At this time, Song Chongjing held her back, his tone was slightly unhappy, and spoke coldly: "What are you doing, this is not a small matter. If someone were to find out your identity and do such a thing, how will you act?"
"What's wrong with me!" Xi Mengyao was unhappy.
"You don't even know how to examine a corpse. What if there are other matters?"
Song Chongjing lowered his voice, warning his.
"How do you know I don't know how to do an autopsy?!" Xi Mengyao was not convinced, she frowned, then turned and looked at Song Chongjing.
He seemed to be worried and shook his head, "I'm just going to take a look. If there are any problems, we can solve them by talking. If there are none, what are you afraid of?"
"Now you're at the end of your tether. Do you believe that if you didn't give your majesty a good answer within the limited time, your majesty would have surely been enraged and used you to make an example of others!?"
This person was already being pushed onto the boat, not even caring about his front or back.
"Why didn't I see you say anything like that before?"
Xi Mengyao was very unhappy, her tone was full of criticism.
Song Chongjing only furrowed his brows, he was not hesitating at all. What Xi Mengyao said, he knew as well.
It was all because of this that someone had invited him to this grand feast.
Xi Mengyao could have avoided it, but she had to go up by herself …
After all, those people's methods were impossible to guard against. If something really happened to her … He didn't know what to do either.
As Song Chongjing thought of this, he also began to be shocked himself.
He didn't know that one day, he would also be worried about the safety of a girl.
Seeing that, Xi Mengyao frowned, and turned to look at Song Chongjing. The man could not explain, but she turned to look at Lu Ming: "Come and tell him, your Prince is an idiot, I do not understand!"
As she spoke, she also started to get angry.
When the guards saw the situation unfold, none of them dared to step forward. All of them stood to the side, staring blankly at the scene before them.
At this time, Lu Ming also stood forward, shaking his head, "Esteemed wangfei, Your Highness is only thinking for your sake, if I were to involve you in this matter, I am afraid that there will be endless trouble, didn't you say before that you do not wish to get involved in this matter?"
However, Xi Mengyao only sneered, turned her head and looked at them, and rolled her eyes.
"Can I do that even if I don't want to? Why am I involved now? Isn't it because they have their eyes on me? "
As she said that, she turned to look at Song Chongjing, and said: "This matter is obviously a trap, if you do not examine it carefully, you might fall into his trap, waiting for him to cut you down."
"You guys are now my biggest backers. I don't know what that cheap old man of mine is thinking, but I can't rely on them. If I help you, that means I'm helping myself. If you fail, then who am I going to get a meal ticket from?"
She said that, and only crossed her arms, and looked at Song Chongjing leisurely, as if she wanted him to give her an answer.
"Prince …" Seeing that, Lu Ming knew that Xi Mengyao had her own idea.
This man was very persistent in his actions. After thinking about it, she secretly nodded her head and looked at Song Chongjing, then said softly: "Princess is right, and I am afraid there is no other way."
Song Chongjing was helpless.
Right now, he was at the end of his rope, and the pressure from the Emperor wasn't in front of his eyes.
If he could avoid it for a while, it would be difficult for him to do so in the future.
After thinking about it, he sighed and turned to look at Xi Mengyao: "How much certainty do you have in this matter?"
Xi Mengyao shook her head as she shrugged her shoulders and said in a somewhat relaxed manner, "Just how is there anything that can be described with absolute certainty? It's just looking at the way things are now."
This investigation had always been about looking at evidence. Only with evidence in hand could it be proven right or wrong. Now, she didn't know anything. What could she do?
He could only guess.
However, talking too much about this kind of thing would only cause him to lose control of his mind.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and pointed at the wooden house: "So you agree?"
Song Chongjing thought for a moment, then nodded his head, even if he did not agree, he was afraid.
Xi Mengyao nodded, then ignored him and turned around to return back into the house. Instead of looking directly at the house, she started strolling around.
This small house was actually not that big. It was only about ten square meters in size. However, because there was nothing else in the house, it looked quite spacious.
Xi Mengyao did not close the door even after she entered, and a few guards waited at the side.
They had their backs to the crowd and did not come in. They were probably thinking of how different they were from the males and females and did not dare to enter without permission.
It was noon when they returned. The light was sufficient, but because the house was in the forest, it was somewhat dim. She thought for a moment, then found a few candles and lit them up.
The corpse was truly too horrible to look at.
Before this, she hadn't paid attention to him and had only felt somewhat miserable about him. But now that she looked more closely at him, she realized that he could be said to have been tortured to death.
This person's face was deliberately scratched by someone.
Over a hundred wounds piled up on top of each other, leaving this person's face without even the slightest bit of good flesh.
The only good thing was that there was no suppuration when the blood and flesh congealed together. Otherwise, it would have been even more terrifying later on.
"What grudge …" she whispered.
However, when she looked more carefully, the wound should have been made later. The wound was very clean, meaning that the woman did not struggle when he attacked her.
However, it was strange that this person's hands and feet also had such dense scars. However, that place …
She was somewhat perplexed. The struggle marks on her hand were very obvious. Her flesh had already been pulled out and many wounds were already twisted due to her struggles. It was easy to feel pain just by looking at it.
Xi Mengyao looked at his skin carefully. His skin was covered with snow.
