Under the orders of their superiors, the coroners from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple began to examine Li Jue's body.

When he started the examination, Xiao Yu raised his hand to block Su Lingyue's inquiring gaze as she looked towards the bed.

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu in confusion, "What is your Highness doing?"

"Don't look at anything indecent." Xiao Yu spoke again without allowing any objection, "Yue'er, turn around, be good."

Although she looked over there curiously, the bed was blocked by people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, so she couldn't see anything!

But Xiao Yu's attitude was irresistible, as if as long as she didn't turn around, Xiao Yu would keep covering her eyes like this.

"Okay, I won't look at it." Su Lingyue pouted and turned around lightly, sitting with her back to the bed. Only then did Xiao Yu put down his hand with satisfaction.

After her eyes were uncovered, Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu beside her. He had no intention of turning around, but sat upright, watching the people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple performing the autopsy calmly.

Li Mao stood at the end of the bed, staring straight at the coroner, afraid that they would overstep the line.

Li Lang stood behind him, but he was not looking at Li Jue on the bed, but at Li Mao's neck. There was a cold and ferocious light in his eyes like a wolf, but no one noticed.

Su Lingyue originally wanted to ask Xiao Yu why he could see, but when she saw Xiao Yu looking at the bed with a sharp and cold gaze, she gave up the idea of ​​speaking.

He was very familiar with Xiao Yu's expression, he was in a bad mood!

Since there was no need for dissection, the examination took less than an incense stick of time.

The coroner informed everyone present of the results of the examination, "Judging from the body temperature, the Fourth Prince died within half an hour before we arrived. Upon examination, no other wounds were found on the Fourth Prince's body except those caused by the arrows. The cause of death was the rupture of the wounds on his chest and arms, and he died of excessive blood loss. No signs of poisoning were found in the Fourth Prince's body. The specific cause can only be determined after the doctor examines the drug residue."

At this time, the doctor who was out for the inspection also came back, "Reply to everyone, the drug residue has been checked, and they are all normal medicines for treating external injuries and regulating meridians. There is nothing wrong."

Upon hearing this, Duan Xu said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the two princes, so the fourth prince died because of his serious injuries. I will go to the palace and report the truth. Do you have any opinions?"

Xiao Yu said: "This king has no objection."

Doctor Lu stroked his beard and sighed, "I have finally saved my dignity in my later years!"

Lin Chuan said to him, "The innocent are innocent! You are innocent, and you have the support of the prince, so what are you afraid of!"

Hearing this result, Li Mao was extremely angry. He stared at Xiao Yu with cold eyes, his eyes full of cold arrows.

But the fact was already very clear, he had no evidence that Xiao Yu had someone kill Li Jue, so he had to give up his intention of asking Xiao Yu to pay with his life.

Li Lang said: "I have no objection, but the fourth prince of Xiliang died in Daning. Brother, this matter cannot be let go!"

He looked at Li Mao, only to see that he had a sinister look on his face. His entire face was so cold that it seemed as if it was carved out of thousands of years of ice, and it was full of oppression.

Seeing that he was not going to let this go, Li Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Mao said coldly: "My fourth brother died in Daning! Tell your emperor that Daning must give me and Xiliang an explanation! Otherwise, the two countries will surely fight each other. I will personally lead the troops to seek an explanation."

Xiao Yu stood up, his tall figure slender and graceful. Even though he had not been on the battlefield for many years, he still had the heroic demeanor of a soldier.

Facing Li Mao's threat, Xiao Yu remained neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the current emperor is wise, and the assassin will be delivered to your hands, and you can deal with it at your will."

Li Mao snorted coldly, "Prince Su better keep his word!"

"That's natural." Xiao Yu said.

Li Mao didn't look at Xiao Yu again, but ordered at the door, "Qingxuan, go find a good coffin."

Qingxuan at the door responded and strode out.

Hearing what Li Mao said, Li Lang asked, "Brother, do you still want to stay here?"

Li Mao glanced at him and asked, "What do you think?"

Li Lang said with a face full of sorrow: "My fourth brother's death is too strange. I do not trust Prince Su."

Li Mao looked at Xiao Yu, the sinister look in his eyes did not fade away in the slightest, "I don't believe him either, I plan to leave here and go to the inn!"

Seeing Li Mao say this, Li Lang was delighted, but the joy was fleeting. "It's okay for me, my younger brother. I'm just afraid there will be assassins who want to murder you..."

Li Mao looked at Xiao Yu coldly and said, "With Qingxuan here, no one dares to get close to me. As for my third brother, you live next door to me. The inn has strengthened its defenses. There are also my fourth brother's guards and the people I brought with me. I don't believe that an assassin would have such great abilities!"

Seeing Li Mao's murderous look, Su Lingyue felt that he must have regarded Xiao Yu as the mastermind.

Seeing Li Mao say this, Li Lang curled his lips and bowed respectfully to him, "I, your humble servant, will not be afraid either!"

Seeing how determined they were, Xiao Yu did not try to stop them. "Since you two are so determined, I will not keep you any longer. Please do as you please."

After that, he said to Zhang Zhong and Duan Xu, "You two adults can go to the palace and report the truth."

Zhang Zhong and Duan Xu bowed respectfully to Xiao Yu and left with their men.

"Lin Chuan, send Uncle Lu back. After the two princes leave, their safety has nothing to do with the palace. The people on the roof can withdraw!"

Without paying any more attention to the two brothers and the corpse, Xiao Yu gave these instructions and left Hengzhiyuan with Su Lingyue.

"My Lord, is this the end of the show?"

Su Lingyue raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Yu in confusion.

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and met her gaze, "How do you feel, Yue'er?"

Su Lingyue always felt that things were strange.

She took her pulse yesterday, and although it was weak, it was stable.

Today Li Jue died inexplicably, and the wound could not have opened for no reason. Someone must have harmed him.

But after questioning by the Ministry of Justice, no one was suspected and no poison was found.

"Li Jue's death was so strange!"

Su Lingyue held Xiao Yu's hand and walked slowly forward, muttering: "The house is heavily guarded outside, and the assassin can't come in and kill people.

But except Lu Bo and Wei Yi, no one else inside had the chance to harm Li Jue.

Lu Bo is naturally excluded, and the only one left is Wei Yi."

Su Lingyue shook Xiao Yu's hand and asked, "Is he a spy?"

Xiao Yu shook his head gently, "He is not. Yue'er just mentioned Li Jue's arm in the carriage, and he was ready to argue with you to the end. How could you kill him if you are protecting him like this?"

After hearing what Xiao Yu said, Su Lingyue's mind suddenly became clear and a bright light flashed in her mind.

She looked at Xiao Yu, staring into his eyes with an inquiring look, "Your Majesty knows who the murderer is, right!"

"Who was it? The Third Prince? But how was he killed?"

Su Lingyue asked a bunch of questions with her little mouth. Xiao Yu listened to her voice like a lark and suddenly didn't want to answer her questions anymore.

Xiao Yu led Su Lingyue to the dining hall and chuckled, "Think about it after you're full."
