“Coroner Lin, the Empress is here.1‘

After Zhang Jinglin entered the room, he called for coroner Lin, who was in the middle of an autopsy. Upon hearing that the Empress had arrived, coroner Lin was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt.

” Greetings, Empress.”

“No need to be polite. Have you tested the results?”

Su Qing raised her hand and asked the coroner to get up. She kept looking at the poor pregnant woman. She had been dead for a long time. Her face was ashen, her eyes were black, and her face was swollen. Her lips were open, and her teeth were bleeding. Her eyes were wide open as if she was complaining about her grievances.

“The pregnant woman should have died of suffocation.

Coroner Lin spoke cautiously, but his tone was firm.

“What do you mean?”

Su Qing looked at him and asked. Coroner Lin pointed at the pregnant woman’s cheeks and teeth for Su Qing to see,

” Your Highness, look. The pregnant woman’s face has blood stasis, her teeth are rose-shaped, and there’s bleeding under her eyes. Livor mortis appeared early and is widely distributed. The corpse is slowly cooling. These are all symptoms of suffocation. I suspect that someone suffocated the pregnant woman to death.”

“Not bad; write an autopsy doc.u.ment!”

Su Qing nodded. This coroner, Lin, was quite skilled. He had described the symptoms of suffocation. If he dissected, he would also find blood stasis in the internal organs, blood stasis in the mucus membrane, embosom, lung edema, dark red blood flow, and so on.

in ancient times, very few people dissected the body unless they wanted to check if it was poisoned and what kind of poison it was. That was why they dissected people.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, the cause of death would be determined based on the coroner’s experience. The coroner’s doc.u.ment was a written doc.u.ment that could define the cause of death.

“Other than the mother-in-law of the pregnant woman, all the doctors and handymen on duty have to be interrogated.

Su Qing told Zhang Jinglin that she was the one who started this clinic and taught all the doctors. She didn’t want spies to sneak in, so she took this opportunity to investigate.

“Guard Li, bring some men over…”

Su Qing called Bodyguard Li in and arranged for him to monitor everyone.

“Investigate everyone who had come into contact with her.

“The Empress has someone she suspects?”

Zhang Jinglin was accompanying Su Qing. When he saw that she had arranged for Guard Li to spy on everyone, he asked her in a low voice,

” Yes.” Su Qing nodded.

” I can’t be sure yet, but this person is very suspicious.”

Su Qing pointed at the pregnant woman and said to Zhang Jinglin,

“I guess this woman’s mother-in-law is already dead.

Zhang Jinglin quickly asked,

“Empress, why do you say this?”

Su Qing looked at the pitiful pregnant woman. She had risked her life to leave her husband’s bloodline, but her mother-in-law had taken her life for money.

Su Qing’s gaze became colder.

“Because she’s no longer useful. Once she’s dead, people will spread rumors immediately. Send people to disguise themselves and go places with many people. Keep an eye on the people who spread rumors and don’t alert them.”

“Yes, Empress.”

Zhang Jinglin cupped his fists and received the order loudly. The way he looked at Su Qing was filled with admiration and respect.

“Change her into a set of good clothes, buy a good coffin, and bury her!” Su Qing pointed at the pregnant woman on the ground and told Zhang Jinglin that she would not let this pregnant woman die without knowing why.

“Yes, Empress.”

Zhang Jinglin replied respectfully, and Su Qing gave another order,

“Arrest everyone outside and interrogate them separately.”

If these people were arrested, there would be people spreading rumors. She wanted to give these people a chance to spread rumors.

Su Qing walked out of the clinic. When the Lu Family members saw her, they immediately knelt.

“Master, please spare us. We won’t dare to cause trouble again.”

Su Qing didn’t even look at them. She got on her horse and left the clinic. There were already several people surrounding the street. When they saw that the government was arresting people, they were afraid that they would be implicated and hurriedly dispersed.

When Su Qing returned to the palace, a palace maid came to report,

“Your Majesty, the Eldest Prince refuses to eat.”

“I understand.” Su Qing nodded.

Ziqi was a child who valued relationships. He must have thought that his teacher had died and was so sad that he didn’t want to eat.

Su Qing changed from her men’s clothes into a traditional dress before cooking for her son in the kitchen.

Her Palace of Heavenly Purity had an exclusive small kitchen. The condiments were more complete than the imperial kitchen. She could cook whatever she wanted to eat. The palace maids helped her by the side. They liked to cook with the Empress.

Every time the Empress cooked something delicious, she would reward them with a little. That was indeed a delicacy out of this world.

Su Qing made cherry meat for her son. This child preferred sweet and sour flavors. On the contrary, Yun ‘er liked spicy food. The spicier it was, the happier she was.

Su Qing’s heart warmed when she thought of Yun ‘er’s little appearance every time she ate delicious food. She also made spicy chicken for her daughter.

Zhang Qirui liked to eat her c.u.min lamb chops. Su Qing made a big plate. In addition to these three dishes, she made two small desserts, all of the three children’s favorite dishes.

“Go fetch the First Prince and Princess.”

Su Qing prepared the food and ordered the eunuch to pick them up. In the end, the eunuch only brought Ziqi and Yun ‘er. Zhang Qirui was taken home by Luan Hong early in the morning.

“Your child greets mother.”

Ziqi bowed to Su Qing as soon as he entered. However, the child did not eat for two meals and was weak. He even swayed as he stood.

“Mother.”

When Yun ‘er entered the house, she smelled the fragrance of c.u.min lamb chops. She sniffed and smiled like a greedy cat. She ran happily to the table and said,

“There’s delicious food!”

Yun ‘er turned around and shouted excitedly at her brother,

“Brother, there’s so much delicious food.”

Ziqi only glanced at it and still had no appet.i.te.

“Ziqi, let’s eat.”

Su Qing hugged Zi Qi and reached out to ease his furrowed brows.

“A man has to be able to bear the burden. Everyone will die. One day, your mother and father will also die. Those who are alive should still live well.”

“Yes, this child thanks mother for her guidance.”

Ziqi understood her mother’s words, but he was still sad.

“Eat well.”

Su Qing placed Ziqi on the stool and handed him a pair of chopsticks. “Mother made your favorite cherry meat. Eat it while it’s hot.

“Thank you, Mother.”

Yun ‘er was a sweet talker. She thanked her mother before picking up a lamb chop with her chopsticks. Her hands were small, but she was very strong. She steadily picked up a large lamb chop and gave it to Su Qing.

“Mother has worked hard.”

She picked up another piece and placed it in Ziqi’s bowl. Her big black eyes looked at her brother with grief.

“Brother, let’s eat.”

Su Qing looked at her daughter with relief. The little girl was drooling, but she still cared about others first.

Yun ‘er’s face twitched. She imitated the adults and sighed deeply.

“If only Rui ‘er were here. He loves to eat lamb chops made by mother.” ” You bully him when he is around but miss him again after he left.

Su Qing wanted to laugh when she saw her daughter sigh. She looked like a little adult with a rich expression.

Yun ‘er blinked and shook her head thoughtfully.

“I didn’t bully Rui’ er. I was teaching him martial arts!”

Su Qing remembered that her daughter had smashed Zhang Qirui into a mud monkey. In the end, Zhang Qirui was so scared that he lay on the ground and could not get up!

“Haha, Yun ‘er’s little mouth can turn black into white.”

Xiao Zeyu laughed loudly as he walked into the Cuning Palace. The moment he entered, he could smell the fragrance. “Qing ‘er is making delicious food again?”

Xiao Zeyu had a bellyful of anger in court today, but when he came back and saw his son, daughter, and wife, his mood instantly brightened.

“You’re in luck. Eat quickly!”

Su Qing smiled and handed him the chopsticks. Seeing the anger in Xiao Zeyu’ eyes, she asked casually,

” Did things go badly in court today?”
