Chapter 1591
Xiao Lintian carefully placed the Empress Dowager on the blanket next to him. When he saw the incomplete face of the Empress Dowager, his nose became sore and he knelt down.
"Royal Grandma, don't worry, I will never let you die unjustly!"
"Find out who plotted to kill you, and I will destroy all nine of his clans!"
Ling Yu heard something was wrong in Xiao Lintian's voice, so she came over and helped him up: "When the cause of the death of the Empress Dowager is found out, I will help her repair her appearance and let her die more decently!"
"Ayu!"
Xiao Lintian held Ling Yu's hand tightly, feeling that the anger surging in his heart was suppressed by her words.
The two walked back, where Wan Qishan and Master Tie were inspecting the bottom of the coffin.
But after removing the quilt and silk underneath, there were no holes.
Ling Yu noticed that some of the silk pieces had also been gnawed crazily by mice.
Do rats still eat silk?
Ling Yu found it incredible. She picked up two pieces of silk and threw the small piece of silk underneath into the space for inspection when no one was prepared.
There was a faint fragrance on the silk that was picked up, and it was also stained with blood. Ling Yu did a blood analysis together.
But she didn't know whether the blood was from the rat or the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, there are no holes around this coffin or at the bottom. How did the mouse get in?"
King Ye felt that his brain was running out, so he asked Xiao Lintian curiously.
Xiao Lintian knew that King Ye was innocent, so he was not questioning himself by asking this, but it was really strange.
Xiao Lintian said in a deep voice: "I also want to know how these mice got in! Zhao Xuan, go and bring all the nuns who buried the Empress Dowager last night to the side hall for Prince Cheng to interrogate!"
Aunt Zhao Xuan had already asked Lu Nan to control these and brought them over in a moment.
Prince Cheng asked Master Tie and General Fang to inquire on his behalf, but these nuns swore that no one would admit that they were the ones who put the mouse in the coffin during the burial!
"My lord, destroying the body of the Queen Mother is a treason and a capital crime. How can the slaves have the courage to do such a thing!"
"Sir, under the gaze of everyone, it's hard to let a mouse in, let alone so many!"
The mothers complained one after another.
Lord Tie came back to convey these words, and Prince Cheng, Xiao Lintian and others found them reasonable.
Unless these seven or eight nuns are all colluding, it is indeed impossible to do it.
Mr. Tie questioned these nuns separately. Their confessions were slightly different, but they were basically consistent.
The nuns couldn't do anything, so what about the soldiers who came with the coffin?
It's not impossible that they might have put rats in the coffin on the way there.
As long as these rats were stunned and hidden in the quilt and silk at the bottom in advance, wouldn't those stunned rats be locked inside when the coffin of the Empress Dowager was closed?
Master Tie summoned these soldiers and asked them one by one, but it was soon confirmed that this guess was unreliable.
More than 20 soldiers were carrying the coffin. How could anyone find so many rats in time, stun them and put them into the coffin in time?
Lord Tie was interrogating these soldiers, and Xiao Lintian's guards over there had already caught a few mice and sent them over.
Wan Qishan fed the prepared blood of the Queen Mother and the blood of dead rats to the rats respectively.
The mouse was frightened and squeaked.
Ling Yu got goosebumps when they shouted at her.
She took a few steps back and stood on the outside.
She had a lot of contact with rats in the laboratory, but those rats were not as ugly as these rats.
With gray hair and blood-red eyes, the most terrifying thing is that these guards worked so hard that they managed to catch a big rat as long as an arm out of nowhere...
