Xiaolun bit the piece of paper and vanished without a trace.
Zeng Huai’s mouth dropped open.
"After the shift change, go find Du Juan, but it’s best to eat lightly these days so you’ll recover faster. Once it’s completely gone, there’s nothing you’ll have to avoid eating..." Yang Ruxin smiled at Zeng Huai, "You’re right, if I really want to kill soone, no one would notice." Letting Xiaolun sneak a bite would do the trick.
"I didn’t know soone could be so wicked..."
"Thank you for trusting , this matter will soon be resolved."
"Hmm." Zeng Huai nodded, "Madam, if... if I’m able to get married, I’ll bring my wife here to kowtow to you." As an ordinary prison guard, kowtowing to the Third-rank Madam Ruyi was only right.
Yang Ruxin nodded.
Soon, Zeng Huai brought out a basin and then delivered breakfast, a stead bun, a dish of pickled vegetables, and a bowl of millet porridge.
The weird old man’s breakfast was the sa.
As they were eating, another prison guard ca over: "Madam, the Marquis wants to see you."
Yang Ruxin nodded but finished drinking the porridge before getting up and leaving.
Jiang Guanyu was waiting at the cell door, and when he saw Yang Ruxin co out, he smiled slightly: "Madam, the Emperor has agreed for you to conduct an autopsy."
"Thank you." Yang Ruxin’s expression was very calm, "Let’s go."
anwhile, the weird old man inside the cell couldn’t stay put when he saw Yang Ruxin leave and hurriedly called Zeng Huai over: "Tell , what cri has she committed?"
Zeng Huai, still in good spirits, didn’t hide anything and explained the case.
"I see..." the weird old man pondered for a mont, then turned back to the straw pile.
The prison guards ignored him.
But as soon as the guards left, the weird old man suddenly got up, exerted force with his hand, and the chain on his wrist fell off. When he saw the chain on his scapula, he hesitated but still removed it. However, he left the silver needles sealing so of his acupuncture points in place, then turned to look at the small window on the ceiling, and suddenly leapt up and slipped out in an unbelievable manner.
In the main hall of the military office, Marquis Jiang earnestly told Yang Ruxin, "I give you the opportunity to conduct an autopsy, but if you don’t find anything, it will be even more disadvantageous for you."
"Thank you, Marquis, I understand, but I wouldn’t be satisfied if I didn’t examine it." Yang Ruxin smiled, "The body is the only evidence left by the deceased in this world, and there might be a discovery. After all, there are no other options now, right? I have to make an effort to prove my innocence..."
In the morgue.
Because it was sumr and the weather was hot, a lot of ice had been placed around the body to prevent it from rotting.
Although she had known that Wang Zhengzheng had died from bleeding from the orifices, upon seeing the body, Yang Ruxin still gasped. It was hard to imagine that a few days ago, this arrogant noblewoman had now beco an ugly, cold corpse.
"Xinxin," Gu Qingheng went over to hold Yang Ruxin’s hand and whispered, "If you’re scared..."
Yang Ruxin smiled, "I’m not afraid, otherwise I wouldn’t have suggested the autopsy."
Gu Qingheng nodded and then let go of Yang Ruxin’s hand.
"Marquis, if I were to say I want to dissect the body, I suppose I wouldn’t be allowed, right?" Yang Ruxin glanced at the body and then at Marquis Jiang.
