Chapter 44 Autopsy
Tong Ange ignored Concubine Qiao Shu's words, turned the body over again, and said, "The court lady said she committed suicide because she had already been poisoned, and Imperial Physician Du could also see this. The maid Bi'er's eyes are protruding and her complexion is pale. It is black, and her belly is swollen, which is clearly a symptom of severe poison in her body. Even if there is no such strangle mark on her neck, Bi'er will die of poison soon. Since she can't live long after being poisoned, why do she want to be poisoned? To strangle her with a rope? Wouldn't that be superfluous?"

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and Concubine Qiao Shu who was beside her snorted disdainfully: "You poisoned her first, and then strangled her with a rope, the purpose is to put her to death as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Tong Ange looked at Concubine Qiao Shu coldly: "Your Majesty's words make sense, which is a reasonable reason, but there is one thing I don't understand, and I want to ask Your Majesty to explain my daughter's confusion. If she stole the Golden Picture of Wanfu Shou, it doesn't matter if she used a rope or poisoned it, as long as Bi'er is dead, why does the servant girl go to great lengths to cover up the signs of poisoning on the corpse?"

"You have to ask yourself that!" Concubine Qiao Shu snorted coldly.

Hearing Tong Ange's words, the emperor frowned, a little confused: "Tong Ange, what exactly do you want to prove?"

Tong Ange didn't answer the emperor's words immediately, but took out a white veil from his sleeve, stretched out his hand to push away the corner of the dead man's eyes, and wiped it lightly, the white veil was immediately stained with some black blood , She looked at the emperor and said: "Please look, the emperor, there are more or less black bruises in the corners of the eyes, nasal cavity, and auricles of the corpse, but at first glance, it will not be noticed by others." , It can only be seen by carefully breaking it open and wiping it with a handkerchief, which is obviously processed by someone."

"So what if that's the case?" The emperor frowned.

"This can only explain one thing. Some people don't want people to know that Bi'er died of severe poison, but want everyone to think that Bi'er was strangled to death." Tong Ange said flatly.

Concubine Qiao Shu snorted coldly when she heard the words: "Even if Bi'er died of poisoning, just based on your few words, someone deliberately covered it up. Not to mention the emperor would not believe it, even a three-year-old child would not believe it."

Everyone in the hall also showed some approval on their faces. What Tong Ange said was indeed too far-fetched. It would be too far-fetched to say that she is not a murderer based on just a few words. Some.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Tong Ange with a bit of disdain and contempt. They looked at her swearingly, and thought they could find some evidence of self-proving innocence. Unexpectedly, it was just such a few nonsense.

Tong Ange was not in a hurry, and looked at Concubine Qiao Shu with a smile that was not a smile: "Concubine Shu, why do you always use a three-year-old child to compare with the emperor? Could it be said that in the heart of Concubine Shu, the emperor is not as good as a three-year-old child?" Is it a child?"

"Tong Ange, you dare to slander me!" Concubine Qiao Shu was provoked by Tong Ange's anger, and even her eyes seemed to burst into flames.

The expression on Tong Ange's face was extremely innocent: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged. It is clear that the empress herself is always a three-year-old child, but the minister has never mentioned a word."

She looks like this at the moment, with an innocent and pure face, and a bit of cunning like a little fox flashing in her eyes, she looks extremely agile.

Seeing Tong Ange in this state, Su Yu's eyes deepened slightly.

"You!" Concubine Qiao Shu couldn't stop being furious, she gave Tong Ange a hard look, in return Tong Ange shrugged innocently.

Seeing this, Lin Wei frame couldn't help but burst out laughing, Tong Ange is probably the first one in history to make Concubine Qiao Shu deflated like this.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Qiao Shu: "Concubine Shu, since I have allowed Tong Ange to investigate the case, please stay calm."

Concubine Qiao Shu's complexion changed, and she immediately lowered her eyes: "I'm impolite." She clenched her hands under her sleeves tightly, and her lowered eyes were also somewhat cold.

Seeing Concubine Qiao Shu being deflated like this, Tong Ange's heart flashed with joy, but his face turned serious, and said: "My daughter judged that Bi'er died of suicide, of course it's not just based on these few words." She said, looking at Du The imperial physician said, "Emperor Du is an imperial physician with superb medical books. He must know what a dead body looks like after being poisoned."

Imperial Physician Du nodded: "That's right, this corpse does have the characteristics of being extremely poisonous."

Tong Ange walked to the side of the corpse and paused, raised Bi'er's hand, and said: "The nails of all corpses that died from the poison will turn blue and black, but Bi'er's nails are covered with a layer of blood. The bright-coloured kodan covered the bluish-black nails. If this layer of kodan was painted on by the deceased before his death, there would be nothing wrong with it. This layer of Kodan was painted on her nails, so what does that mean? Whoever painted Kodan on Bi'er's nails had any intentions, even if I don't need my courtiers to tell me, the emperor and everyone present can think of it."

After listening to her finished speaking, everyone couldn't help looking at the hands of the corpse. Sure enough, it was painted with a layer of bright Koudan. How could it be possible to tell what color the dead man's nails had turned into.

Concubine Qiao Shu, who was sitting next to the emperor, looked at Tong Ange lifting Bi'er's hand, her expression became unsightly, she opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't help but glance at the dull-looking emperor beside her, Concubine Qiao Shu's gaze flickered Shan, looked in the direction of Qiao Shuwang, just in time to meet Qiao Shuwang's eyes, she squinted her eyes, and gave her a wink.

Qiao Shuwang snorted softly, and said: "Concubine Shu always loves Tu Koudan, and Bi'er is favored by Concubine Shu, it's only natural for her to give her some rewards. There is nothing wrong with that. Your remarks are too much It's too far-fetched!"

Hearing this, Tong Ange looked at Qiao Shuwang calmly: "Does the Prime Minister think what the little girl said is far-fetched?"

"It's simply turning black and white!" Qiao Shuwang snorted coldly.

"Whether it's wrong or not, there's evidence on Bier's body." Tong Ange said, raising Bier's other hand, and said: "Please look, Your Majesty, these Kodans in Bier's hands are not It was completely dry, half of the Kodan on the index and middle fingers of her right hand were rubbed off, and the nails on her left hand also had traces of rubbing off."

She said, looking at Concubine Qiao Shu who opened her mouth to speak, and continued: "Of course, this can also be said that the palace maid Bi'er accidentally rubbed it off when she was in Tu Kodan, but everyone knows one thing, you can be in the palace. The errands, whether they are maids or servants, have undergone strict training. No matter what they do, they are not allowed to have the slightest omission, let alone the slightest mistake. And there are still several places where it was painted on the fingers, which are uneven, which affects the appearance. Just now, Concubine Shu said that she has always trusted Bi'er, and Bi'er is serving her by her side. How could she make a mistake? What about such a mistake?"

After saying this, the emperor's face became a little dark, and even the imperial doctor Du who was standing beside Tong Ange couldn't help being secretly surprised. He didn't expect that Tong Ange would be so thoughtful, and he could observe so carefully.

Seeing that the emperor's face was a bit dull, Qiao Shu frowned, and immediately said: "The so-called gold has no bare feet, and no one is perfect. It may also be that this court lady was distracted when she was applying Kodan, and maybe she accidentally applied it on her fingers."

Tong Ange bent his lips: "The Prime Minister's words are reasonable, it's not impossible, but there is one thing, the Kodan on Bi'er's finger is not completely dry yet, it can be scraped off with a fingernail, if I am the murderer who killed her , then when I kill her, she will definitely stand up and resist, then she just finished applying Kodan, and the Kodan on her fingers will definitely stain my body, Mr. Prime Minister can ask someone to check my clothes carefully. My maid's clothes, see if there is Koudan on Bi'er's hands?"

Qiao Shuwang's face darkened slightly, and he was suddenly speechless.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and looked at Tong Ange deeply: "Then, as you said, the murderer must have been stained with Kodan of this color?"

"No." A gleam flashed in Tong Ange's eyes, and the expression on his face became more determined: "Your Majesty, just now, the court lady said that Bi'er died of suicide, not murder. It was someone who carefully planned after her death and intentionally faked the scene of suicide as a murder scene. Since this person can think of this, he will never stain himself with Kodan. It should be that the guards and Eunuch Fu who were going to carry the corpse accidentally touched it, which is enough to prove that the courtier has not been in contact with her for a while, otherwise the person who is contaminated with these Kodans will be the courtier."

Hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly, glanced at Kou Dan in the hands of the corpse, his eyes narrowed slightly, what Tong Ange said was indeed somewhat reasonable, but...

"Tong Ange, what you said is so logical. I can see that you planned all of this. Suicide and murder are all carefully planned by yourself. You simply want to use these nonsense words to confuse the public and cover up the truth. My own crime!" Concubine Qiao Shu snorted coldly.

"Isn't Concubine Shu contradicting what she said before? If the courtier wants to forge it, wouldn't it be better to forge a suicide scene? Why bother to create a scene where all the evidence and clues point to the Where is the scene of the murder of the minister?" Tong Ange said, looking at Concubine Qiao Shu with doubts: "What's more, the time is limited, from the time when Princess Yong'an took all the ladies to Luoxia Palace and the guards saw the minister at the gate of Changle Palace The time begins to count, such a precise and complicated layout, the court lady has no time to complete it, and even if she has time, she needs to be familiar with the Changle Palace well, and the court lady enters the palace for the first time, so what? What about murdering and stealing without disturbing any guards in Changle Palace? If Concubine Shu thinks that the courtiers have internal responses, then, does the empress think that in Changle Palace, which palace maid or internal servant is the internal response of the courtiers? Yes, before tonight's birthday banquet, no one knew that Wanfushou Jintu was in Changle Palace, so how could the ministers have time to plan all this?"
