"But before Prince Cheng comes with his wife, anyone who dares to make any wild statements and speculate on the cause of the Queen Mother's death will be regarded as causing trouble in the palace, undermining the political stability of the Western Qin Dynasty, and committing treason!"

Xiao Lintian stood on the steps domineeringly and scolded him harshly.

Concubine Shao, Prince Kang, and several ministers who had taken the lead in making trouble all stopped.

Ling Yu didn't see the scene at that time, but based on her familiarity with Concubine Shao and Prince Kang, she knew how rampant the two people were shouting just now.

Ling Yu was glad that Xiao Lintian had firmly controlled the Imperial Forest Army and the Tiger Division Camp.

With military power in their hands, it was not easy for Prince Kang and Concubine Shao to jump around.

But if the cause of the death of the Empress Dowager is not clear, Xiao Lintian's throne will be in danger.

Ling Yu had previously thought of finding an opportunity to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. Although she was able to do so now, she had become passive instead of active. The situation was obviously not good for them.

Under the gaze of everyone, neither she nor Xiao Lintian could do anything, nor could they talk. They just exchanged glances to reassure each other.

Xiao Lintian has already driven everyone out of the mourning hall. No one is allowed to enter or leave the mourning hall before Prince Cheng arrives.

Naturally, Ling Yu and Xiao Lintian were not allowed to enter or leave the mourning hall in order to avoid suspicion.

Why does the coffin of the Empress Dowager bleed?

Ling Yu was as confused as everyone else.

Ling Yu trusted Xiao Lintian's judgment. He never mentioned to himself that the Empress Dowager vomited black blood before her death, and he also confirmed that the Empress Dowager did not die from poisoning.

And even if he died of poisoning, it was only one night and the temperature was not high. How could the body deteriorate and bleed?

Ling Yu was confused. Even if she was proficient in medicine and came from a modern era with advanced technology, she could not guess the reason.

Only by seeing the body of the Empress Dowager with your own eyes can you find a reasonable explanation.

Prince Cheng hurried over with Wu Zuo. After keeping vigil in the morning, he went to arrange for the Empress Dowager to enter the imperial mausoleum. On the way, he was invited into the palace by someone sent by Xiao Lintian.

The police officer he brought was Wan Qishan, a famous police officer from the Ministry of Punishment. Although Wan Qishan was engaged in the most humble job and received a meager salary, he was a rare genius.

He is as proficient in every structure of the human body as a cook Ding Jie Niu. He also knows the effects of many poisons on the human body. He can also tell the age and weight of a human body based on its bones.

When Xiao Lintian saw that Prince Cheng had brought Wan Qishan, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Wan Qishan's abilities and believed that Wan Qishan could find out the true cause of the Queen Mother's death.

And for a lowly person like Wan Qishan, it was impossible for Prince Kang and Concubine Shao to bribe him.

Ling Yu didn't know Wan Qishan, so when she saw Prince Cheng bringing him here, she looked at him curiously.

Wan Qishan is a man nearly fifty years old, thin and small.

Although his status was low, his hair and clothes were neatly tidied, making it impossible for anyone to imagine that this was a person who had been dealing with corpses all year round.

"Open the coffin and conduct an autopsy!"

After hearing the whole story from King Kang's first minister and Xiao Lintian, Prince Cheng agreed on behalf of the clan.

"For the sake of fairness, I would like to recommend four ministers to participate in the exhumation and autopsy with us!"

King Kang said righteously: "Master Tie, Yushi Pan, General Fang, and General Wei!"

When Xiao Lintian heard King Kang's suggestion, he smiled coldly in his heart.

On the surface, King Kang's recommendation is fair and clear. Master Tie helped Ling Yu clear his name last time and was selfless.

But Pan Yushi was Zhao Hui's man, General Fang was the father of King Kang's concubine Fang Yaoyao, and General Wei was the father of Princess Rui Wei Ying.
