Although Li Qiyou said it with certainty, it was not easy to actually do it. It has been nearly a year since King Rongan passed away, and the anniversary will soon be approaching. At this juncture, would it be disrespectful to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy? It's not an exaggeration to say that I offended my ancestors.
Fang Zilan stood in the tomb of King Rongan with arms folded, looking up and down carefully, "It's not bad, it's much easier to get into than the Imperial City Underground Palace."
Li Qiyou was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Fang Zilan and said, "The person who sneaked into the underground palace of the imperial city to steal the edict, could it be you..."
Hearing this, Zhuge Yu coughed lightly and said, "My lord, now is not the time to pursue the past..."
"It's me." Fang Zilan interrupted Zhuge Yu's words expressionlessly, then raised her eyebrows and said: "Speaking of which, what are you two doing here? Are you worried that my trip will go too smoothly, so you came here to cause some trouble? ?”
Li Qiyou pursed his lips, but before he could say anything, Zhuge Yu spread his hands and said, "Your young prince is asking about your whereabouts every day. He is so diligent that I am too lazy to deal with it."
Fang Zilan's face turned cold, "If you don't cope with it, who will?"
"Of course it's Lord Fang Chongzheng." Zhuge Yu said matter-of-factly, and Fang Zilan gritted his teeth, "A Yu..."
"Don't argue anymore." Li Qiyou hurriedly smoothed things over: "In the name of worship, we can't stay here for too long, otherwise we will definitely arouse the suspicion of the guards."
"It really can't be delayed for too long." Fang Zilan said: "Once this matter spreads and people from Beijing are sent, there will be nothing you can do, my lord."
Zhuge Yu nodded and said: "Even if this matter has not spread, our delay in the southeast for so long is enough to make people in the capital suspicious."
"It's not just the people in the capital." Fang Zilan's expression was dark and unclear. "Everyone involved will keep a close eye on us. If there is any trouble, they will take action."
She paused as she spoke, then changed her voice almost abruptly, "So, have you thought about who you want to invite to examine the body of King Rongan?"
Li Qiyou was stunned for a moment, "This...I..."
He mumbled and couldn't utter a complete sentence. Fang Zilan shook his head helplessly, "I knew this would happen. Fortunately, I was prepared."
Zhuge Yu was not surprised, but there was still a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "I wonder who Sister Lan invited?"
"Old Yun." Fang Zilan muttered, as if he didn't want to say more.
Li Qiyou pondered for a moment, "To conduct an autopsy for Emperor Rongan's uncle is to risk the world's disapproval. If anything goes wrong, his reputation will be ruined. Mr. Yun is really willing to take this risk..."
"What does it mean to be ruined? The old man owes me his life." Fang Zilan interrupted Li Qiyou quietly, "What's more, even if the old man doesn't want to, I still have someone to choose from."
"So, thank you for thanking Miss Fang for taking the trouble." Li Qiyou bowed respectfully, but Fang Zilan was a little dazed when she heard the name "Miss Fang."
It wasn't until Zhuge Yu called "Sister Lan" again that Fang Zilan came back to her senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The coffin of King Rong'an is empty." Zhuge Yu looked solemn, and Fang Zilan also frowned, "The body of King Rong'an is not here?"
"Not there." Zhuge Yu looked at the empty coffin and shook his head again as if to confirm.
"How could this be so?" Li Qiyou's face was full of disbelief, and Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "They are really adept at what they do."
After saying that, she walked over, took a quick look, and then casually closed the coffin again, as if nothing had happened.
As if he suddenly remembered something, Li Qiyou said: "The royal clan has always had someone to record their diet and daily life. As long as the records of the great uncle of Emperor Rongan can be found..."
"It's useless." Fang Zilan intercepted Li Qiyou's last words, and Zhuge Yu said solemnly: "Since they can hide the body of King Rongan at random, how can they tamper with a record or destroy it? It’s a breeze.”
Li Qiyou clenched his fists, "Are you really at your wits' end and don't have any solution?"
"It's not impossible." Fang Zilan raised her hand and knocked on the coffin gently, "Someone came earlier than us."
"You mean..." Li Qiyou's eyes lit up with hope, but Fang Zilan shook his head, "He was not the one who hid the body of King Rongan."
Before she finished speaking, she saw a figure falling in front of her. Hongtai clicked her tongue and said, "How did you know that I wasn't the one who hid the body of King Rongan?"
"So, do you know where the body of King Rongan is?" Fang Zilan looked at Hongtai thoughtfully, "Yes, if I want to hide it from you, it is not easy to hide a body in the southeast. .”
"I can help." Hongtai neither admitted nor denied, but the implication was that he knew.
Fang Zilan said "Yeah", "Tell me, what are the conditions?"
"You come with me." Hongtai said directly: "That place is difficult to break into. It is impossible for me to bring out the body of King Rongan by myself."
"Okay." Fang Zilan agreed without hesitation. Zhuge Yu couldn't help but said: "Sister Lan, if this trip is dangerous, it's better to think about it in the long term."
"Lord Zhuge said it lightly." Hongtai curled her lips with a half-smile, "Does the prince have some free time to make long-term plans?"
Li Qiyou's expression changed imperceptibly, but Zhuge Yu still argued with reason: "It's easy to make mistakes if you act in haste, not to mention Sister Lan's body..."
"A Yu, I'm fine." Fang Zilan stopped Zhuge Yu's words and looked at Hongtai with a hint of caution in her eyes, "But how did you know that we were going to open the coffin for an autopsy?"
Hongtai suppressed a smile and said seriously: "Mr. Zhen of Qianjinfang asked me to tell you that Mr. Yun will not come."
"Why?" Fang Zilan blurted out, and Hongtai explained: "Ms. Zhen said that the girl from the Yun family was pregnant with Liujia. Mr. Yun would not even kill him for such a derogatory matter as opening the coffin for an autopsy, not to mention that the examination was still on honors. King An’s body.”
Fang Zilan flicked her sleeves and said softly: "That's all, I'll just look for someone else."
Seeing this, Zhuge Yu couldn't help but ask: "Sister Lan, the person you just mentioned as an alternative..."
"Is it really true?" Hongtai asked unceremoniously, and Fang Zilan remained silent. Her candidates were Wan Jun and A Wan, but the former, as an outsider, didn't believe what he said. As for the latter...
If A Wan steps forward, he can only assume his identity as a disciple of Tai Hospital Order Wen Ya. Although his credibility is very high in the eyes of the world, it is tantamount to pushing the two of them, master and disciple, to the forefront of the storm.
Hongtai saw that Fang Zilan was silent and was about to say something when she heard her say: "If not, is it possible that I want you to come?"
"Me?" Hongtai pointed at himself and smiled, "Are you joking?"
