Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

That night, the emperor sent someone to the Justice Department to remind Xiao Juan to get ready, and go to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow morning to inspect the tomb of Concubine Yue.

Xiao Lian told Luo Pingsha about this and warned him.

"Tomorrow there should be people in the palace watching.

I'll find a way to distract them, and you take the opportunity to examine Concubine Yue's body.

Remember that the speed must be fast, and the range of motion should not be large, so as not to be discovered by others. "

Luo Pingsha nodded: "I remember."

Yu Huaiwei was full of expectations for the results of the coffin-opening autopsy.

She woke up early the next morning.

Xiao Juan and Luo Pingsha were about to leave for the imperial mausoleum after breakfast, but Yu Weiwei hurriedly stopped them.

"You've all gone out, it's boring to keep me here, or you can also arrange a task for me."

Xiao Yan thought for a while: "You go through Wang Xue's information, she will not seek death for no reason, I suspect that she may have been threatened."

Yu curling immediately understood what he meant.

As the most useful maid by Queen Wen's side, Wang Xue was neither short of money nor status. The only people who could threaten her were her relatives.

Yu Weiwei patted her little chest and assured: "This matter is covered by me!"

When Xiao Huan and Luo Pingsha arrived at the Imperial Concubine Mausoleum on horseback, they found that not only the inner servant and the Ministry of Rites were there, but also Wei Liao.

Wei Liao said with a smile, "I've never seen someone open a coffin for an autopsy. Today, I have to learn a lot."

Xiao Yan ignored him and walked straight towards the inside of the imperial mausoleum.

Others followed.

The imperial mausoleum is next to the imperial mausoleum. After the death of the concubines in the palace of the Dayan Dynasty, they will be buried here.

Officials who were specially responsible for taking care of this place led the way, and they quickly found the mausoleum of Concubine Yue.

The size of the tomb of Concubine Yue is comparable to that of the Queen of the Palace, which shows that the emperor really loves her very much.

Wei Liao secretly sighed that maybe those rumors were not necessarily false.

If Concubine Yue and the child in her womb hadn't died, she might really have replaced Empress Wen's position.

Xiao Juan ordered people to dig the grave.

The Chamberlain and the officials of the Ministry of Rites stood by and watched.

The eunuchs of the Internal Servant were okay, they just felt sorry for what happened to Concubine Yue, but the faces of the two officials of the Ministry of Rites were ugly.

When the Ministry of Rites learned that Prince Lang wanted to open the coffin for an autopsy, they firmly opposed it.

The Minister of Rites even rushed to the palace for this reason, crying and begging the emperor not to do this.

It is said that the deceased is the greatest, and rashly opening the coffin for an autopsy is disrespectful to the deceased!

If this matter spreads out, what will the people of the world think?

They are afraid that they will be drowned by the spittle of the common people!

It's a pity that the emperor was obedient to what Prince Lang said, and he couldn't listen to a single word of other people's advice.

The Minister of Rites was furious. He fell ill after returning home last night. I heard that he was still lying on the bed.

Although he hated the traitorous villain of Prince Langjun to death, he had no choice but to let the Prince of Langjun do whatever he wanted in the concubine mausoleum, so he sent two officials to the concubine mausoleum to stare at the action of the prince of Langjun County. One move.

As long as Prince Lang has any unruly behavior, the coffin opening and autopsy must be stopped immediately!

At this moment, the two officials of the Ministry of Rites opened their eyes wide and stared at Concubine Yue's tomb, watching the tomb being dug bit by bit without blinking.

The tomb is divided into upper and lower layers, the upper layer has only an empty coffin. After they dug the upper layer, they had to go down the stairs to enter the real tomb.

Luo Pingsha and several other Eagle Guards descended into the tomb.

Wei Liao also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xiao Lan.

"Opening the coffin for an autopsy is not a trivial matter, and idlers are not allowed to enter."

Wei Liao: "I just look at it and don't do anything."

After he finished speaking, he jumped straight into the tomb and walked down the stairs.

The Chamberlain and the people from the Ministry of Rites also wanted to go down, but when they saw that Xiao Jian was still standing still, they hesitated, wondering if they should go down?

The eunuch of the inner waiter couldn't help asking.

"Can't His Royal Highness go down and have a look?"

Xiao Juan said in a low voice: "The air in the tomb is not ventilated, and there may be poisonous gas hidden in it. If too many people enter too many people, it may cause poisoning. This king will just wait on it."

Seeing that what he said was reasonable and well-founded, the eunuchs also gave up the idea of ​​continuing.

As for the two officials of the Ministry of Rites, they did not move after several weighings.

The Minister of Rites asked them to monitor Prince Lang.

Wherever Prince Lang is, they must be there, and they must not let Prince Lang leave their line of sight!

The air in the tomb was really bad.

Luo Pingsha felt that it was difficult to breathe, and he had to be prepared. He took out a medicine bottle, opened the cap, and put the bottle to his nose and smelled it.

A cool smell penetrated into his nose, which immediately made his breathing much easier.

He handed the medicine bottle to the Eagle Guards beside him and let them smell it too.

Seeing this, Wei Liao cheekily approached to ask for it.

"What is this? Let me smell it too."

The Eagle Guards didn't have a good impression of him, and after using it, they returned the bottle to Luo Pingsha.

Luo Pingsha put the medicine bottle into his arms easily.

They worked together to open Concubine Yue's coffin, revealing the valuable funerary objects inside, as well as two skeletons, one large and one small.

Wei Liao came over with her mouth and nose covered, and frowned when she saw that there were two skeletons in the coffin.

"The skeleton of the little prince is still lying here, that is to say, the skeleton of the baby found in the palace is not the little prince, who would that child be?"

Luo Pingsha ignored him, put on special gloves by himself, and carefully turned over the bones.

Wei Liao immediately became vigilant and questioned.

"What are you doing? Didn't Prince Lang say that as long as you open the coffin and see if the little prince's skeleton is still there? What else do you want to do with the skeletons of Concubine Yue and the little prince?"

Luo Pingsha asked without raising his head.

"How can you be sure that these two skeletons must be Concubine Yue and the little prince? What if someone quietly put other skeletons here to confuse the public? I need to check."

Wei Liao sneered: "What are you kidding? This is the imperial mausoleum, who would dare to come here to steal the remains?"

"Lin Zi has all kinds of birds. If you want to know if these two skeletons are Concubine Yue and the little prince, you can find out by checking."

While talking, Luo Pingsha took out tweezers from the toolbox, picked up a piece of bone and looked closely.

After so many years of decay, the flesh and blood had long since rotted away, and all that remained was a wrinkled, hard gray-black object stuck to the bones.

Wei Liao stood beside him and stared at Luo Pingsha's every move, and asked abruptly.

"You actually had a plan, didn't you?"

Luo Pingsha didn't respond, so he did his own thing.

Wei Liao: "You said it was to prove the identity of the baby's remains in the palace. In fact, it was to open the coffin to examine Concubine Yue's remains. I'm curious, who came up with such a bold idea?"
