Rebirth: Raising an Emperor as a Wife

Concubine Chen Guifei and the others came late and had never seen the corpse at all. Thinking that this operation would not be completed in a short while, and they couldn't see the situation inside, it was unavoidably boring, so they asked the pale-faced Xu Guiren. Said, "Your noble sister, have you ever seen who it is?"

With the empress in front, there was no place for a nobleman to sit, so she could not stand upright by leaning on her maid of honor.Hearing Chen Guifei's question, she timidly responded, "The concubine doesn't know either."

What she said was really true. The corpse had been soaked in water for several days, and its body was already swollen, and it was impossible to see its original face clearly.What's more, she is a woman in the harem, she has never seen a dead person, she almost fainted on the spot, how can she see who died.

The queen listened to her words and squinted at her, which made her turn paler with fright.

When the corpse was found, Xu Guiren sent someone to find the queen, and at the same time invited the emperor. He originally planned to do these things with the mentality of letting the emperor look at her and pity her even more, but I didn't want the emperor not to come, but let Xiao Linfeng come.I'm afraid that the empress would have seen through my little thoughts, which made her look quite ugly for a while.

When the queen saw Xiao Linfeng, she knew Xu Guiren's thoughts. The look at her at this time was just a bit more ironic, and seeing Xu Guiren's weak and weak appearance, she didn't bother to pay attention to her.

While talking, Wu Zuo over there finally finished the autopsy, directly covered the body with a white cloth, and then followed Xiao Linfeng to report to the queen.

Wu Zuo is an old man in his 60s. He was afraid to speak when he saw people stretching their necks all over the pavilion to watch the excitement.

Seeing his hesitation to speak, the queen understood instantly, and ordered the imperial guards to drive away all the people, leaving only a few confidantes.

Seeing that the emperor was not there, Xu Guiren raised his legs and prepared to leave.But the queen saw it at a glance and called back, "Since Xu Guiren discovered this, you should stay and listen together."

"..." The emperor didn't come, Xu Guiren didn't want to stay here for a moment, but the queen dared not listen to her, and retreated abruptly.It should be in the mouth with a wry smile.

Both the queen and Concubine Chen were drinking tea with their heads down, pretending not to see her so pitifully.

The queen took a sip of the tea, handed it to Zhu'er, and then asked, "How, what is the result of the test."

Wu Zuo nodded his head, "My lady, the deceased was a woman who was tortured and killed before being tied to a stone and sank to the bottom of the lake. It may be because the rope tied to the stone was soaked in water, so the body floated up. .”

Concubine Chen Gui was a little surprised after hearing this, "Torturing, what kind of method is it?"

Wu Zuo glanced at Empress Xue, saw that she didn't respond, and responded to Concubine Chen Guifei's words, "The deceased had multiple wounds, including knife wounds, sword wounds, and scalds, and..."

Concubine Chen Guifei looked at Wu Zuo before she finished speaking, and asked, "And what?"

Wu Zuo continued, "Although I didn't examine it carefully, according to past experience, the deceased may have been abused before his death, because scars were also found in the private parts. The specific situation will be detailed after returning. check."

Hearing his words, the expressions of the two empresses present were not good.

Xu Guiren was so frightened that his legs went limp again, he held his chest and murmured, "How can such cruel things happen in this palace? It's really scary."

Empress Xue's face was as heavy as water, and she asked, "I can see that there are no people from which palace or palace."

Wu Zuo was a little embarrassed, "Here, please forgive me, empress, I don't know much about the people in the palace, and I don't know who they are."

Xiao Linfeng asked from the side, "Then does she have any tokens on her?"

Hearing this, Wu Zuo still shook his head.

To find out the truth of the matter, the first thing is to know the identity of the deceased, to find out who she had a relationship with, and who she had contacts with.

Xiao Linfeng pondered for a while, and said, "Empress, since this is the case, please ask the head of internal affairs to come over with the roster and check to see if there are any missing maids in each palace."

The queen was about to speak when Zhu'er, who had been standing behind her all this time, suddenly stood up and bowed to the queen, "Your Majesty, can you let the slaves go and have a look? The slaves often walk around in the palace, and they are very helpful to the people in the palace." Familiar, if the slaves don't recognize it, it won't be too late to ask the head of internal affairs."

She is a bold girl, and she can't help but make people look at her twice. I'm afraid no one else can avoid such a corpse, but she begged to see it.

Chen Guifei smiled, "Zhu'er is really a bold girl."

Zhu'er pursed her lips, "This servant only knows to share the worries of the empress, and this servant always walks upright and sits upright, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

The Queen smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Zhu'er's performance, "Go."

For the people around the queen, Wu Zuo naturally didn't dare to be negligent. Following Zhu'er, he kindly reminded, "The body is already swollen, girl, be careful, don't get too close, or rotten water will flow out."

Pearl nodded, "Thank you for your advice."

As a piece of white cloth was lifted, a female corpse appeared in front of my eyes. It was really foaming and inhuman, a circle larger than ordinary people, the skin was white, and pus was oozing from the wound, as if something was wriggling , Pearl looked like nothing happened, but her face was a little pale.

Wu Zuo asked from the side, "Miss, can you see anything?"

Pearl didn't answer, she walked around the corpse and stopped at the place where the head was placed, "Can you turn her shoulder over here and let me have a look."

How could Wu Zuo dare to say no, he personally lifted the corpse and sat up for her to see clearly.

Then she saw that Zhu'er's face turned pale, and she even staggered a little while walking, and ran directly in front of Queen Xue and knelt down.

Seeing her like this, Empress Xue also knew the seriousness of the matter, and asked coldly, "Who is it?"

"Go back to your mother, it's Lan'er."

Concubine Chen Guifei didn't listen very clearly, and asked with some doubts, "Zhu'er, who did you just say?"

Pearl lowered her head and did not respond.

The queen suddenly said sharply, "Zhu'er, tell the noble concubine loudly, who is this dead?"

It sounded like she was extremely angry.

"Yes," Zhu'er straightened her back and said loudly, "Go back to the imperial concubine, it's Lan'er."

"how is this possible."

Concubine Chen Gui was so startled that she sat on the chair and stood up, then sat down slowly, "How is this possible, we all saw it just now, the corpse is so swollen, how did you know it was Lan Er?"

Zhu'er snorted coldly, "Lan'er and her servant have been companions in the Ciyuan Palace. The five-petal flower tattoo on her shoulder is also shared by the servant. Do you want to ask the imperial concubine to examine it now?"
