Gu Qingxue raised her head, her face calm. “If I can find out the truth and prove that my father was really wronged, I hope that Your Majesty can punish the real murderer and announce this matter to the world.”

Rong Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, “Of course. However, I have to remind you that it’s all up to you how you want to investigate this matter. So many years have passed since then, and the clues that can be found are not many. If you can’t find the truth, you can’t continue to be dispirited.”

“Of course. I’ve thought about it. Most of the evidence from that year is gone, and only Beauty Yin’s body is the last piece of evidence. I request to open the coffin and do an autopsy, and I ask Your Majesty to fulfill my request.” Gu Qingxue got off the bed and bowed deeply to Rong Xiaotian as she spoke.

After all, Beauty Yin was the emperor’s concubine. If they wanted to open the coffin and perform an autopsy, it would not be good if word got out. They had to get Rong Xiaotian’s approval first.

Rong Xiaotian did not agree immediately. Instead, he touched his chin.

The crowd fell into silence as they waited nervously for Rong Xiaotian’s answer.

In the end, Rong Xiaotian agreed, “I can allow you to do the autopsy. It’s just that Beauty Yin’s corpse was placed in the imperial consort’s tomb previously, so you can only go by yourself.”

“Your Majesty, as a judge, I also have to investigate the truth of that year. I request that Your Majesty allow me to investigate this matter with Doctor Gu and head to the imperial concubine’s tomb to perform an autopsy.” As Judge Wu spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed to Rong Xiaotian.

Rong Xiaotian agreed. “Yes, Judge Wu You will follow Doctor Gu along the way. You must take good care of her body. You can not let anything happen to her!” “Yes!” Judge Wu agreed.

After Gu Qingxue and Judge Wu thanked him for his kindness, they left the imperial study together.

Judge Wu and Gu Qingxue walked to a long corridor in the palace that no one passed by. He could not help but sigh. “Gu Qingxue, I really admire you.”

The corners of Gu Qingxue’s lips curled up into an indifferent smile. “Judge Wu, you must be joking. Actually, I didn’t do anything. I merely used a little trick, that’s all.”

Judge Wu did not agree, and he laughed in spite of himself, “How can it be that easy? Any other official in the court might not even be able to persuade the emperor. In the end, the only reason His Majesty agreed was because of your own strength.”

Gu Qingxue raised her hand and casually tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. She said disapprovingly, “If I didn’t have this kind of ability, I would have been married to Moyun Kingdom on the day MO Yunye proposed.” Judge Wu agreed with a smile, and then asked, “When do you plan to leave?”

“We’ll set off immediately after noon. That way, we can rush back before the new year. I’ve promised my three children that I’ll definitely come back to spend the new year with them.” When Gu Qingxue mentioned the three little cubs, and her gaze instantly softened.

“Alright, I’ll go back and pack up. I’ll go to your house to meet you in the afternoon.” After Judge Wu finished speaking, he and Gu Qingxue split up and went to the imperial hospital.

Gu Qingxue quickly left the palace and went back to prepare.

At the same time, Rong Xiaotian’s decree had spread throughout the palace like a gust of wind.

Inside Concubine Yin’s palace…

“What did you just say? Say that again!” Concubine Yin was sitting on a soft couch. After hearing this news, she raised her hand and slammed it down on the table, causing the tea in the cup to spill.

The little palace maid who came to report was so scared that she shivered. She shrank her neck and said weakly, “Reporting to Concubine Yin, His Majesty has already agreed for Doctor Gu to reinvestigate the matter of Beauty Yin from back then. Furthermore, Doctor Gu is already preparing to go to the Imperial consort’s tomb. She said that she wants to open the coffin and perform an autopsy..”
