Prince Needs to be Tamed

"Then is Imperial Physician Chen's rule that she can only save the living that still have a breath of life, and the dead that she can't save anymore perfunctory things?"

The reason why Lu JinNian's words were inaccurate was mainly because he didn't want to continue being a righteous and compassionate person. Who knows, he might even need to carry a few more notes of etiquette.

Chen Li said, "What's wrong with that?" Expelling disease, saving lives, the dead have no disease, no life. "

Lu Jinniang did not directly answer him. Instead, he took out a bandana from his pocket and tied it around his nose and mouth. Then, he took out a pair of gloves and put them on before starting to move the corpse.

He untied the corpse's clothes and left it naked.

Chen Li frowned again, "Even if it's just a six or seven year old boy, Miss Lu shouldn't be so overbearing and rude. Adding on the fact that the dead was eldest …"

Lu JinNian cut her off in a low voice. "Imperial Physician Chen, have you studied the wounds on the corpse seriously?" "Like what Imperial Physician Chen said, the reason why this person's face didn't change was indeed because of the impact from a heavy object like a rock, but it clearly wasn't what you said. The impact in the water caused it."

"The wounds on his face are decisive and the cracks on his face are sharp. If the water had caused some resistance, then the wound would not have been so straightforward. Moreover, based on the scars on his face, we can judge that he has caused a heavy weapon like this with its edges but the edges are not sharp."

Imperial Physician Chen could see that the lotus pond had indeed been filled with lakeshore, but how round were the stones? They were buried under water all year round, and there was a layer of green slippery water on the surface of the lily pond. It can't be said that it couldn't make out the marks on that person's face, even if it was a rock in the water.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "The corpse was deliberately disfigured by someone and then thrown into the pond."

Lu Jinniang pointed at the corpse's throat. "Did Imperial Physician Chen see this?"

Chen Li moved closer and looked carefully. He discovered that there was a small wound there, but when someone used a transparent thread to sew it up, it really wasn't easy to find.

"The cut is small, and it's clear how sharp the blade is. The wound was treated with fishing line, so the stitching technique is not bad. The wound didn't look as if it had turned white after being soaked in water for so long. It must have been two days."

Chen Li opened his eyes wide, "Big Miss Lu, did you say the wound was from two days ago?" However, Vice Minister Du's child was well-formed and entered the palace in a lively and lively manner.

"Humph!" Lu Jin snorted and stretched out his fingers to pinch the two wings of the wound. There was almost no resistance at all when the pinch was placed, and the pincer was pushed down, "This person was cut open the throat to remove the cartilage in the throat, and then sewed it up again. Even if he's still alive, he's still a mute and can't speak."

Chen Li sucked in a deep breath. He had read many medical books and had read many books about the feasibility of cutting open a living person's bones or organs. However, those were basically legends.

"Miss Lu has always used 'this person' as her reference, not 'Vice Minister Du's child' or the child's name. Has it been confirmed that this corpse is not the identity that we thought it was?"

Lu JinNian rolled her eyes at him, "What do you think?"

"This humble subject is not talented and has heard the gossip of the palace maids. He said that Assistant Minister Du's child was fine when he entered the palace and would greet anyone he saw. This corpse, on the other hand, had its throat slit two days ago, making it impossible to speak.

"The most important evidence is here," Lu Jinnian opened up the corpse's leg. Because it was stiff, the leg was not very wide apart, but it was clear enough for people to see, "There are many torn and old marks that have regenerated. Imperial Physician Chen, you have done quite a bit of research into external injuries, so you should be able to determine how many years have passed since the start of these marks."

Chen Li obediently stuck his head out to look. After a long time, he said in a reluctant tone, "At least two to three years."

His specialty was diagnosis and treatment, and he only studied wounds and injuries in books. However, he was extremely talented, so he only needed to take a look to know how the injuries here came about.

Such a young child, to have his throat cut, to have his body abused, and to have appeared in the Imperial Palace, replacing the identity of a child of Assistant Minister Du. Even if he didn't know who did it, he understood that this matter was a huge one.

Lu JinNian could tell what he was thinking from his expression. "What does Imperial Physician Chen want to do?"

"Tell me the truth," Chen Li's expression did not seem like he was joking, "Yesterday, Vice Minister Du did not come to claim the corpse, but today he will definitely come. This humble subject will tell you everything."

"Miss Lu is telling this humble official that he can be saved by seeking medical treatment, and that he can also be saved by investigating the dead. If it wasn't for Miss Lu discovering traces on the corpse and pointing out that this person isn't Assistant Minister Du's real son, then she would have missed out on searching for and saving the son of the still alive Vice Minister Du."

Chen Li cupped his hands and bowed towards Lu JinNian, "As the ancients say, we will definitely have a teacher for the actions of the three. Miss Lu is not stingy with her teachings. You might as well call me teacher."

Lu JinNian was rendered speechless by his tone, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "Then I'll have to trouble Imperial Physician Chen next. I just ask that Imperial Physician Chen not to say my daughter's name."

Chen Li looked at her. "It is indeed improper for a lady of a noble family to break the window and enter a man's room and casually look at a naked corpse. However, seeing that Miss Lu is sincere in teaching me, this humble one will help Miss Lu hide her name for a bit.

Lu JinNian raised his eyebrows. If he wanted such a stunned person to hide her whereabouts, the best way was to directly pass by her existence. He only said that this was the discovery he made after flipping through books for an entire night, but Chen Li … It was obvious that he did not have any intention of going back in time!

Chen Li, who had always been proud of himself, now had a rare, evil, and ingratiating smile on his face. "This is my new teacher, the wife of a dragon."

Lu JinNian's feet slipped and he almost fell to the ground. This person was doing it on purpose!

"..."

Not long after the imperial court opened its gates, Vice Minister Du followed his father-in-law to the Imperial Hospital with a sorrowful expression. Looking at his lord, the eunuch could only advise him not to reveal his son's death at the Imperial Palace, not knowing if he took it to heart.

Although it was an eventful time, the loss of one's son caused the Emperor to be unable to say anything.

As soon as they entered the temporary morgue, they saw a person standing next to the corpse and pointing at it while talking to himself. The two of them were shocked.

In the end, the noble and benevolent official pointed to the person and said, "Tai, who are you, state your name!"

Chen Li, who was dissecting the corpse in all seriousness, had yet to react when Lu JinNian, who had concealed his aura outside the room, almost couldn't hold it in any longer.

It was as expected of a talent from the palace. These words from the noble and benevolent officials were all spoken at the same time!
