On one side was a frail young man who was crying and almost suffocating with fear. On the other hand, there is a noble princess who doesn't care at all and seems to be listening to the story.
Everyone had a big question mark in their hearts.
He Tian looked at Lin Mengya and suppressed the urge to question her. After all, she is not her little apprentice, so she can't just ask questions.
At least, you can't ask questions without solid evidence.
The four imperial doctors quickly exchanged glances, and in the end, it was Su Tong, the most virtuous and respected person, who spoke.
"Xiao Feng's words are not trustworthy. Doctor He, why don't you go find your disciple. If we confront him on the spot, no one will be wronged."
This suggestion made everyone nod in agreement. After all, with Lin Mengya's identity, how could she easily convict Lin Mengya just by relying on Xiaofeng's red mouth and white teeth.
Lin Mengya just watched quietly, but her mind was racing rapidly.
Xiaofeng can be so confident, I am afraid that the master behind him has already arranged everything. Just one wrong step and she was thrown into the abyss.
Therefore, she must be careful at every turn. Now, it is better to see what tricks the other party wants to use. She could only resort to tricks.
"That's right, go find Liu Yi quickly. If you find him, we will know the truth."
He Tian must have believed it somewhat, so he looked at Lin Mengya with a hint of rude suspicion.
Su Tong immediately asked someone to find Liu Yi, but Lin Mengya knew better. Since the other party can be so sure, I'm afraid this Liu Yi is either dead or imprisoned.
Xiaofeng just knelt on the ground and cried, looking very pitiful. Lin Mengya watched coldly, watching how far this good show would go.
The imperial doctor of the harem was definitely not allowed to enter. Soon, disciples who were out looking for him came back and forth to report. They all just glared at Lin Mengya, and Bai Su glared back unceremoniously.
"Judge, we have found Senior Brother Liu Yiliu, but... just..."
Someone immediately reported back to the court, but they were hesitant and seemed to be very embarrassed.
"explain!"
Su Tong immediately glared at the other person. The man with his head lowered gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Mengya, his eyes full of hidden anger.
"Senior Brother Liu Yi is dead! The body is just outside the small courtyard!"
As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked. Only Lin Mengya remained calm. This scene had reached its climax.
Liu Yi was dead after all, so she became the number one suspect in everyone's eyes.
Xiaofeng immediately cried loudly and sadly, and several people outside brought the body in. Liu Yi is a young man in his twenties with delicate features. But now his face is pale, his face is peaceful, and his eyes are closed.
Liu Yi should be very popular among these young disciples, so when he first came in, many disciples covered their faces and cried.
"Liu Yi! Liu Yi! My disciple, how did you...how did you become like this! Princess Yu! Give me my disciple! Give me my disciple!"
The pain and anger of losing his apprentice made He Tian temporarily lose his mind. Like an enraged lion, with hatred in his eyes, he shouted at Lin Mengya.
This aroused the common hatred among the apprentices in the courtyard, and Lin Mengya suddenly became the target of public criticism.
"Avenge Liu Yi! Punish the murderer severely!"
Someone shouted in the crowd, and everyone shouted at Lin Mengya.
From beginning to end, Lin Mengya didn't refute a word, but just glanced at them lightly. Her lips were slightly parted, but her gentle voice didn't even raise its pitch.
"Even if I did this, among you here, who is qualified to deal with me? With just one mouth, he slandered me as the murderer. Is it possible that this is a show jointly staged by your hospital? Then I want to see how you slander me and force me to take the blame."
Like a basin of cold water, Lin Mengya's cold tone instantly woke up the two old guys, Su Tong and He Tian.
She was right. With her status as Princess Yu, even if she killed them, no one would dare to deal with them easily. They are all people who have been in the officialdom, so they naturally know the power of this.
"What can the princess do? You are a princess, can you just rely on your status to take human lives? Punish the murderer severely! Avenge Brother Liu Yi!"
Hatred can blind a person's eyes.
Some people think they are righteous, but they don't know that they are the ones being taken advantage of.
"If you want to know whether I killed this person, you have to examine the body carefully and find out the cause of death. But one thing, you must be clear, I will not kill Liu Yi. Especially at this time. , the identity of Princess Yu allows many people to do things for me. If you want to cover up the crime, I have a hundred ways to make this body disappear without a trace."
Lin Mengya did not explain in a seductive tone. On the contrary, her domineering look with a bit of disdain made everyone dare not act rashly.
"Hmph, maybe you were caught out of your good deeds and acted in a hurry!"
There were different opinions in the crowd. Lin Mengya ignored this unreasonable behavior and walked to the body instead.
"What else do you want to do to Senior Brother Liu Yi!"
Someone came out to stop him, but after Lin Mengya flew over with a sharp eye knife, the other party was no longer so confident.
"Why are you nervous? With so many people present, wouldn't it be possible for me to destroy the body and eliminate all traces? Or are you afraid that I will find out any clues, so you are stopping me here?"
Anyway, this is not the first time she has performed an autopsy. On this occasion, with so many imperial doctors present, she is not afraid that someone will deny it.
The man choked after hearing Lin Mengya's words. He just stared, unable to say anything to refute.
Lin Mengya walked around him and inspected Liu Yi's body.
Everyone gradually gathered around her, but fortunately, with Bai Su in charge, no one dared to make trouble.
On the surface, Liu Yi didn't appear to have any external injuries. Through the clothes, she also pinched the other person's stiff limbs. The limbs were stable and showed no signs of breakage.
Lin Mengya raised Liu Yi's hands again. The fingers were spread apart. There were no clenched fists and no blood stains. There is still a faint smell of herbs on it.
Liu Yi is He Tian's beloved disciple, so he naturally piles on medicinal materials all day long. There is nothing unusual about this.
The chest and abdomen are still a little soft. The time of death should be last night. Lin Mengya felt a silent smile in her heart, but the murderer must not have expected it. The tenth prince fell ill suddenly yesterday, and she stayed by his side.
Not only the people around her saw this. In the Concubine Xian's Palace, the eunuchs and maids walking back and forth can also be seen clearly.
Fortunately, she didn't let the imperial doctor enter the palace last night, so no one should know yet.
She already had the evidence to exonerate her, but it would be a pity to say it now.
In her heart, she was already in the mood to tease the other party, and the expression on Lin Mengya's face was deliberately serious.
"Judging from the degree of stiffness, he did die last night. But I can't find any wounds, and he doesn't look like he was poisoned. To be fair, it would be better to ask Dr. Su and Dr. He to come over and take a look. .”
Lin Mengya looked like she was avoiding suspicion, so Su Tong and He Tian naturally shouldered the responsibility.
They nodded, looked at each other, and like Lin Mengya, checked Liu Yi's body. Moreover, the two of them also acquiesced in Lin Mengya's words.
Just when everyone fell into silence, blood slowly flowed from the top of Liu Yi's head. And his seven orifices and facial features that were originally tightly closed suddenly began to flow out with dark red blood.
"Yes...it's the ghost of Senior Brother Liu Yi who has not left yet! That's why he left blood and tears! Teacher, we must severely punish the murderer!"
Xiaofeng pointed at Liu Yi's body in horror, and Lin Mengya turned to look. Sure enough, just like what he said, the originally clean corpse turned bloody and terrifying at this moment.
"Teacher, teacher, the wronged soul of Senior Brother Liu Yi is not far away at this moment. He... He must have heard what Princess Yu said, so he feels so wronged!"
Xiaofeng's exaggeration suddenly made the mood that had just calmed down rise again.
"Oh? Really? Let me take a look."
But Xiaofeng ran over like crazy, stretched out his arms, and blocked her in front of her. He looked at her with hatred in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
"Stop desecrating Senior Brother Liu Yi's body! We all saw clearly just now that if you hadn't touched Senior Brother Liu Yi's body, he wouldn't have shed tears of blood!"
These words incited many disciples.
Lin Mengya's face darkened and she was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. After exchanging a look with Bai Su, Bai Su put everyone to the ground in an instant.
"you-"
These people did not expect that Lin Mengya would dare to hurt someone without even saying hello. Although they are all men, compared with Bai Su, who is highly skilled in martial arts, they are just scum with a combat power of five.
"If you're not afraid of death, come here and give it a try."
Bai Su's face was as frosty as she protected Lin Mengya's back. For a moment, no one dared to come forward.
Lin Mengya sneered in her heart, look, this is the justice these people talk about. In the face of absolute power, it is better to choose to be a coward.
Lin Mengya squatted on the head of the corpse, and she just thought of a possibility.
The teacher has a book that specializes in esoteric medical skills and said that there were incidents in the previous dynasty where the deceased shed blood and tears after death. It is said that she was a romantic widow who had been widowed for a long time. After her sudden death, her clan, in order to obtain the court's chastity memorial, made her into a model of women's virtue.
