The empress not only stood up, but walked to the side of the ice coffin and pressed a hand against the lid. She looked coldly at Han Yunxi. "You murderer, I definitely won't allow you to disturb Changping!"
Half of the day had already passed. There was only half a day left. As long as it was nighttime and Han Yunxi couldn't find the truth about the poison, she would have to confess!
The Empress couldn't wait to delay Han Yunxi so that she couldn't do anything.
Han Yunxi was really impatient. She already had enough of this kind of ridiculous injustice. However, at this time, she more or less saw the Empress's strange behavior.
The Empress was Changping's birth mother. The pain of losing a daughter was understandable. However, to be so overbearing and unreasonable to blame her, it seemed a bit wrong!
As a mother, didn't she want to know the truth? Why did she insist that she was the murderer!
Even if she believed, shouldn't she be anxious to find evidence?
On the way here, Long Fei Ye said that in these five days and five nights, no matter if it was a coroner or a poison master, no one would be able to get close to Changping's body. The Empress simply didn't allow anyone to examine the body.
"Empress, if you have this kind of attitude, I can only go back to the Supreme Court. However, before you find evidence, please don't casually use torture to extort a confession. This isn't how a country's Empress should act!" Coldly, Han Yunxi warned.
When these words were said, many of the servants present looked at each other. Only now did they know that the Empress had gone to the Supreme Court to extort a confession.
Long Tianmo's brows were tightly knitted. He went forward and pulled the Empress, "Muhou, Imperial Father has already promised Imperial Qin Uncle. Just let her investigate."
However, the Empress lay on the ice room and cried, "No, how can I let the murderer touch Changping again? As a mother, how can I explain this to Changping! "
Long Tianmo couldn't persuade her and turned to look at the Empress Dowager. However, the Empress Dowager looked at the Empress without any intention of persuading her.
The Empress broke down emotionally, but the Empress Dowager was still calm.
She had done her research over the past five days. On New Year's Eve, the security in the palace was the tightest, especially her Peace Palace. The West Wing Palace was to the west of the Peace Palace, so it was unlikely that an assassin would be able to break in. Even if they did, it would be difficult for them to kill without making a sound.
What's more, Changping was a princess, and her social circle was nothing more than aristocratic families. Everyone couldn't wait to curry favor with her. It had always been others who offended her, and not her who offended others. How could she attract the disaster of murder?
And in the palace, how could such a rare poison appear? Who would dare to poison Changping?
After thinking it over, Han Yunxi, who had first-rate poison skills, was still the most suspicious. Moreover, she was the only one who had a grudge with Changping.
Han Yunxi! Aijia hasn't managed to win you over yet, but you've already killed Aijia's most precious granddaughter. Aijia has really misjudged you!
The Empress Dowager didn't say anything. The Empress Dowager was lying on the crystal ice coffin. The servants naturally didn't dare to open the coffin. Time passed slowly.
The winter afternoons were very short. If this dragged on, the sky would turn dark.
Han Yunxi was furious. "Empress, are you going to move aside or not?"
The Empress looked at Han Yunxi with resentment, but didn't move.
Han Yunxi turned to leave. "Your Highness, please send chenqie back to the Supreme Court."
Who knew that Long Fei Ye would examine the Empress and Coldly ask, "Empress, what are you feeling guilty about?"
It wasn't just Han Yunxi, but Long Feiye as well. With the empress's usual personality, even if she was grieving, she wouldn't be so unreasonable as to throw a tantrum. She'd even lost the self-restraint of a mother of a nation.
Hearing this, the Empress subconsciously let go. "I'm not!"
"If you're not, then open the coffin and examine the body. It's only half a day, what are you afraid of? Could it be that you're afraid that Han Yunxi will find evidence? "Long Fei Ye continued to interrogate.
Long Fei Ye's words surprised the Empress Dowager and Long Tianmo. The Empress Dowager immediately slammed the table and stood up. "Qin Wang, what do you mean by this? The Empress is grieving over the loss of her daughter. Not only are you not understanding, you're speaking rudely. Aren't you husband and wife going too far? "
Who knew that Long Fei Ye also slammed the table and stood up. His cold eyes glared at the Empress Dowager as he angrily said, "This wang used the late emperor's decree of privilege to exchange for this opportunity. What does the Empress mean by obstructing and looking down on the late emperor's decree of privilege?"
Decree of privilege?
When these words came out, all the servants present immediately knelt down.
Heavens, Qin Wang was angry. Qin Wang had even invited the late emperor?
The Empress was dumbstruck. She immediately retreated and knelt down with a plop. "Chenqie doesn't dare! Chenqie absolutely doesn't dare! "
The Empress Dowager stood in place and stared blankly at Long Fei Ye. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
If the Empress Dowager remembered correctly, this was the first time she had seen Qin Wang angry. Qin Wang, who had always been cold and indifferent, actually really got angry and brought out the late emperor's decree of privilege.
Just for a mere Han Yunxi? A woman who was forced on him?
Are you pampering her or being generous?
Amidst everyone's shock, Long Fei Ye ordered, "Someone, open the coffin!"
At this time, Han Yunxi, who was also in disbelief, slowly turned around. She finally understood why she and Long Fei Ye could smoothly walk out of the Supreme Court.
Looking at Long Fei Ye's domineering expression, Han Yunxi's heart madly thumped.
This wasn't a dream. Why was this man so good to her?
"Han Yunxi, what are you still standing there for?" Long Fei Ye angrily said. He wasn't good at all. His tone was always unkind and his attitude was always cold.
At this time, the crystal ice coffin had already been opened. Han Yunxi quickly came back to her senses. Ignoring the throbbing in her heart, she immediately began to check.
On the way here, she had already sorted out her thoughts. Her first step was to find the location of the poison.
The location could determine the method of poisoning and the method of poisoning represented the method of poisoning.
This was the first step and also the most important step.
Han Yunxi approached and activated the scanning system to do a detailed check. If she didn't check carefully, she wouldn't have known. Now that she checked, she found out that on New Year's Eve in the west wing room, she had missed out on important information in her panic!
The location of the poison was on Changping's hand. It was a wound infection type poison. In other words, it wasn't someone who deliberately poisoned her. Changping had a wound on her hand and came into contact with the source of the poison!
Han Yunxi was overjoyed. She knew it. The security on New Year's Eve was so tight. How could an assassin have broken in? At that time, she had run over as soon as she heard the sound, but she hadn't seen anyone. Moreover, all the windows in that room had been closed!
No one had poisoned her. Princess Changping had been careless and had come into contact with the poison. She hadn't walked a few steps when the poison flared up and knocked over the shelf. That was why she had heard the sound and seen the scene of death.
This surprising discovery made the whole thing much simpler. It had to be known that if an assassin had poisoned her, it would be impossible to find the assassin and she would be done for.
However, if she had been careless and came into contact with the poison, finding the source of the poison was a piece of cake for Han Yunxi.
At this time, everyone's attention was on Han Yunxi. She sneaked a glance at Long Fei Ye. She didn't say anything and continued to do the next step of the examination.
Poison sources could be divided into two types. One was natural poison sources, such as plants or animals that were naturally poisonous. The other was artificial poison sources, which were poisons that were artificially extracted.
"Antiaris Upon Contact" was an extremely rare poison that usually appeared in the southern regions. The number of people who knew about it was even fewer. How could it have appeared in the palace?
Filled with doubts, Han Yunxi collected some dried blood clots from the wound on Princess Changping's hand to conduct an analysis.
The corpse had been stored for five days and the blood clots were already mixed with quite a few impurities. Normal poison masters wouldn't be able to detect them. Fortunately, Han Yunxi had her most considerate friend, the Detoxification System, to help her.
However, when the results of the analysis came out, Han Yunxi was shocked. She never would've thought that the source of the poison would be like this!
This was too inconceivable!
Han Yunxi hid the shock in her heart and silently retreated. She took off her gloves and washed her hands.
At this time, the room was even more silent. Everyone had clearly seen that Han Yunxi hadn't done anything. She had only used her needles to collect some blood clots.
Did this mean that she was done with the autopsy? Did she find anything?
Seeing that Han Yunxi's complexion wasn't very good, the empress dowager was the first to speak. "Han Yunxi, did you find anything?"
The empress anxiously looked over, a trace of nervousness flashing through her eyes.
Han Yunxi glanced at the empress dowager and empress, but didn't reply. Instead, she turned to Long Fei Ye and said, "Take me to the West Wing Palace."
Long Fei Ye didn't ask any more questions. He stood up and left with Han Yunxi, leaving behind a room full of puzzled people.
"She … what is this?" the empress dowager muttered unhappily.
The empress's eyes flickered with complicated emotions. She didn't reply. Long Tianmo said in a low voice, "Imperial Grandmother, let's go take a look together."
As Han Yunxi walked into the West Wing Palace, her expression became serious. She looked around, as if searching for something. However, she quickly retracted her gaze and headed straight for the room where Princess Changping had been killed.
At this time, Long Fei Ye was curious. He asked in a low voice, "How is it?"
"The source of the poison should be in this palace." Han Yunxi's expression was serious. When she walked out after checking the room, the empress dowager and the others had already arrived.
Han Yunxi didn't lower her voice, so the empress dowager and the others heard her words clearly.
The most agitated person was Long Tianmo. "Imperial Qin Aunt, what did you say?"
"The source of the poison should still be in the palace. If it's not, then it's too strange!"
Seeing this, the empress dowager was also shocked. Could it be that Han Yunxi had really been wrongly accused?
"Then you find it!" The empress dowager said Coldly. Standing beside her, the empress suddenly trembled. Long Tianmo hurriedly supported her. "Muhou, are you alright?"
Han Yunxi glanced at the empress. She still had an indescribable feeling, but she didn't have time to think about it.
"Call Changping's personal servant Shuang Hong over." She said indifferently.
"What exactly do you want to do?" The empress dowager was anxious.
"Don't worry, Empress Dowager. Before nightfall, Changping will definitely be able to rest in peace." Han Yunxi said indifferently.
These words made everyone even more certain that she had found something. The empress dowager pursed her lips. "Alright, aijia will wait!"
The empress stared fixedly at Han Yunxi. She didn't even realize that her teeth were tightly clenched and her body was tense.
Long Fei Ye stood to the side, calmly stroking his chin as he took in the empress's reaction.
After Princess Changping's death, Shuang Hong fell ill. After a while, two palace maids helped her over.
As soon as she saw Han Yunxi, Shuang Hong was filled with hatred. Although she knelt, she glared at her.
However, Han Yunxi squatted down and asked word by word, "Shuang Hong, on New Year's Eve, when Princess Changping sent you out to get something, what did you take out of this room?"
Han Yunxi was very certain that Changping hadn't been poisoned for long. The source of the poison had to be in this room. That night, she had already checked and hadn't found it. Today, she still hadn't found it. Without a doubt, the item had been taken away.
As soon as she said this, before Shuang Hong could reply, the empress's legs went soft and she collapsed into Long Tianmo's arms.
"Muhou! Muhou, what's wrong? "Long Tianmo was shocked.
