Gu Qingxue came forward to take a look, and she clearly saw Beauty Yin’s pitch-black throat. She nodded and said, “That seems to be the case, please continue looking. Although Beauty Yin’s throat has turned black and there are signs of poisoning, her skin and flesh are not too damaged.”

Judge Wu also took a look, and it was just as Gu Qingxue had said. He did not understand. He looked at Gu Qingxue and asked, “What’s wrong with that?”

“You should have seen the bodies of those who were poisoned to death. They often died in a terrible way, and some of the poisons were highly corrosive. So, after they died from poisoning, their mouths and throats would have burn-like injuries, and their organs would be completely destroyed. In comparison, Beauty Yin’s situation is much better,” Gu Qingxue explained.

Judge Wu suddenly understood and nodded his head, then he immediately asked, “I understand. What you said makes sense. But what is the reason?”

Gu Qingxue smiled and explained, “It’s simple, because the poison used by Beauty Yin is far rarer than the common poisons. Poisons are also divided into different grades. The higher the grade of the poison, the more invisible it is.”

“A pill of this level is not something that ordinary people can obtain. At that time, Beauty Yin was pregnant with the emperor’s child and was pampered. There was no need for a mere imperial physician to poison her. Unless, it was someone who had a conflict of interest with her, then he would want her life,’ Judge Wu said.

Gu Qingxue used a silver spoon to dig out some of the black powder that had gathered in Beauty Yin’s throat and concluded, “Furthermore, even if my father is the chief Imperial physician of the imperial hospital, he has no way of obtaining such a rare and precious poison. Just this point alone can prove that my father has been wronged.

When Judge Wu heard this, he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, “It’s been almost 20 years, and we can still get so many clues from Beauty Yin’s body. Not to mention, if we had dissected her immediately back then, we might have been able to catch the real murderer very quickly. It’s a pity that we didn’t investigate it in detail back then, and your father died a tragic death.”

When Gu Qingxue heard this, she felt a throbbing pain in her heart.

Her father was really innocent. He was obviously an honest and dutiful person, but he was involved in a palace fight for no reason and became the victim of someone else’s power struggle. He was full of grievances and was beaten to death.

It was so miserable and sorrowful.

Gu Qingxue’s mood was affected by the body’s original owner. She took a deep breath and felt the excruciating pain in her heart. She carefully packed the bottles containing the corpse fluid and the powder.

“Qingue, what do you want these things for? After tonight, we can set off and return. At that time, His Majesty will be able to figure out the whole matter when he sees the corpse.” Judge Wu looked at Gu Qingue in confusion.

The smile in Gu Qingxue’s eyes deepened as she said indifferently, “I have a way to accurately determine what kind of poison is contained in the corpse fluid and powder. Some rare poisons can only be obtained through special means. If we can confirm the poison, we may be able to narrow down the scope and find the culprit faster.”

Judge Wu looked at Gu Qingxue and could not help but sigh. “If your father knew you were so outstanding, he would be very pleased. You’re right, we don’t just have to find the culprit. We also have to find the person who really framed your father. Don’t worry, I’ll help you with the investigation..”
