The three of them stopped and heard Tao Li pause for a moment and then say:
"Please Qian Zhangyin to take me to thank His Majesty for your kindness. It's getting late today, so I won't say more!"
After Tao Li finished speaking, she turned around and left, ignoring Qian Zhangyin's obstruction.
Chu Yun stood in the distance and watched Tao Li's leaving figure, feeling unspeakably sad in his heart. Was he wrong today?
He looked down at his hands, and all the things he had experienced since taking the throne came to him...
When he ascended the throne at a young age, the burden of the country fell on his shoulders. The young man's immature hands could only grasp the throne carefully.
He knew that everyone was eyeing him, so he could only be cautious.
No one around him can be trusted. Perhaps he is doomed to be lonely from the moment he steps on the throne.
But this is the first time that I have put aside my country and everything to fall in love with someone. Shouldn't I strive for it?
Everything about her is so free, which makes me envious and long for.
Maybe... maybe having her own blood can warm up, maybe having her will change everything!
Chu Yun thought, and then clenched her fists. What happened today was also for the stability of the country, she would understand.
Tao Li walked in front, and Di Xue and Chu Ran walked behind.
Although there were many strange things going on today, Di Xue naturally knew that the emperor's series of abnormal actions were all to pave the way for Concubine Li to lose power.
But should such tactics be imposed on the people we love?
Perhaps Tao Li rejected Chu Yun's invitation because she saw this. Should the plot be imposed on the person she likes?
This question made her think confused, so Di Xue simply stopped thinking about it.
After the three people got on the carriage, the carriage quickly ran out of the palace, passed through the bustling city of Yuanjing, and then drove into a street.
Finally, the carriage from Prince Heng's Palace stopped in front of the Di Palace. After Di Xue got off the carriage, Chu Ran followed him out.
The autumn wind was slightly cool, Chu Ran looked at the person in front of him and said unconsciously:
"This is the first time today that I see you angry!"
After hearing this, Di Xue raised the corners of her mouth: "Why, are you scared?"
Seeing Di Xue's bright smile, Chu Ran's anger was swept away and he shook his head gently:
"I'm just shocked that Mr. Di, who always relies on evidence, why do you believe in Tao Li so much today?"
"First of all, I intuitively feel that Tao Li is not stupid. Second, if what happened to Concubine Li had not happened, Tao Li would not have told such a nonsense story!"
In fact, after talking about the superficial judgment, deep down in Di Xue's heart she still couldn't ignore those who made a fuss about women's chastity, especially the disrespectful voices who wantonly insulted women.
Chu Ran nodded and said:
"No matter what, thank you for helping my little sister. Without you here, I don't know what would have happened today."
After Chu Ran finished speaking, his eyes dimmed, his fists tightened unconsciously, and his joints were glowing with white.
Obviously he also figured out the key, but he couldn't express it and could only vent his anger in his heart.
Di Xue walked forward, patted Chu Ran's shoulder gently, and then said softly:
"You're welcome. I just promised to make the toolbox as soon as possible. The Yang family is in good health. We will leave for Chuzhou together tomorrow!"
After Di Xue finished speaking, she walked towards the gate of Di Mansion without waiting for Chu Ran's answer.
Chu Ran naturally heard that Di Xue was trying to comfort him. As for the toolbox, he had actually made it a long time ago, but he had been running around these days and had no chance to take it out and give it to Di Xue.
Everyone was exhausted after returning to their respective mansions. After cleaning up early, they fell asleep.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Di Xue packed up his luggage, took his big chestnut horse, and headed to Dali Temple.
After calling Han Shu, everyone headed to Chuzhou with the three members of the Yang family.
The scenery along the way was picturesque, and although everyone was in a hurry, they were not tired.
Departing in the morning, we arrived in Chuzhou City in the afternoon.
The waterways in the city are relatively developed and there is a lot of trade. Most ships going to Yuanjing must pass here.
This also allowed Chuzhou City to develop.
Before everyone could take a closer look, they were urged to go to the restaurant by Han Shu's rumbling stomach.
After entering, we ordered some common dishes. After the aroma wafted into our noses, everyone's appetites were aroused, and the meal was overwhelming.
After the meal, Di Xue and others followed the Yang couple's guidance to the burial place where Xiao Yang and his wife were buried.
Di Xue looked at the small grave bag and felt uncomfortable, but she still said to Lao Yang and his wife:
"Grandma and grandpa, in order to find out the real cause of death of Xiao Yang and his wife, we need to open an autopsy. I don't know what you two want."
After Di Xue finished speaking, Mr. Yang sighed and said tremblingly:
"Master Di, I'm counting on you for everything, but this body is old and probably only the bones are left."
Di Xue naturally understood what her father-in-law meant, and just when she was about to explain, she heard Han Shu say:
"Grandpa, don't worry, my master has the ability to draw bones and recognize skin. Just two bones can't stop her!"
Seeing Han Shu swearing so firmly, Lao Yang and his wife couldn't say anything else.
Xu couldn't bear it. Only the father-in-law stayed with the old Yang couple, and grandma took Yang Zhi'er home and found an excuse to clean up.
Di Xue was no longer polite. After looking around the tomb, he directed Han Shu to start digging.
Seeing Han Shu sweating profusely, Chu Ran said:
"Is this the reason why you brought Han Shu here?"
Seeing Chu Ran's joking smile, Di Xue returned unceremoniously:
"Of course I brought Han Shu here to teach him something, but the tuition will need to be repaid with his coolies. If His Highness the Crown Prince wants to help, then go get a shovel and shovel together."
After Di Xue finished speaking, Chu Ran smiled helplessly. She really wasn't at a disadvantage with her mouth.
So Chu Ran took a shovel and joined the team digging the grave.
An hour passed, and both of them were covered in sweat. Di Xue handed over the handkerchief, and after they wiped it, they were ready to open the restaurant.
Di Xue tied up her mask and put on her linen gloves and prepared to take out her tool bag.
At this time, Chu Ran took advantage of the opportunity and took out the tool box he made for Di Xue.
"It's... it's done. You can see if it fits. I also made the tools inside according to your preferences and what I usually use. You can see if it still fits."
After taking it, Di Xue opened the box and saw various autopsy tools neatly arranged inside, which were also extremely exquisitely made.
Di Xue picked up something and used it very skillfully:
"Thank you, Your Highness! My previous set can be eliminated."
After Di Xue finished speaking, Chu Ran happily walked aside and tied up the mask.
Then the three of them worked together, and the coffin opened.
A stench escaped from the open coffin.
Di Xue waved hard, and the stench dissipated a lot.
Looking down, there was a shallow layer of black corpse mud inside the coffin, and two white bones were tightly pressed together.
After cleaning the bones, Di Xue saw many vertical crimson stripes on the two bones, which looked like they had been poisoned!
Di Xue and Chu Ran looked at each other, and Chu Ran scraped off some of the dark red areas.
Put it in a glass bowl and dissolve it with water. When you try it, the silver bar quickly turns black.
There is only one possibility. The two of them were not beaten to death in the prison. It is very possible that someone poisoned them and poisoned them to death!
