Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child: Chapter 329 premeditated
Chapter 329 Premeditated
That night, the emperor sent someone to the Justice Department to remind Xiao Juan to get ready, and go to the tomb of Concubine Yue in the morning to inspect the tomb of Concubine Yue.
Xiao Juan told Luo Pingsha about this and warned him.
"Tomorrow there should be people in the palace watching.
I will try to distract them, and you will take the opportunity to examine Concubine Yue's body.
Remember that the speed must be fast, and the movement range should not be large, so that no one will find out. "
Luopingsha nodded: "I remember."
Yu Weiwei is full of expectations for the results of the coffin autopsy.
She woke up early the next morning.
Xiao Juan and Luo Pingsha were about to leave for the imperial mausoleum after breakfast, but Yu Weiwei hurriedly stopped them.
"You've all gone out, it's boring to keep me here, why don't you arrange a task for me too."
Xiao Juan thought for a while: "You go through Wang Xue's information, she will not seek death for no reason, I suspect that she may have been threatened."
Yu Weiwei immediately understood what he meant.
Wang Xue, as the most useful maid by Queen Wen's side, neither lacks money nor status, the only people who can threaten her are her relatives.
Yu Weiwei patted her little chest and assured: "This is all on me!"
When Xiao Juan and Luo Pingsha arrived at the imperial mausoleum on horseback, they found that not only the inner servant and the people from the Ministry of Rites were there, but even Wei Liao was there.
Wei Liao said with a smile, "I've never seen someone open a coffin for an autopsy. Today, I have to learn a lot."
Xiao Juan ignored him and walked straight towards the inside of the imperial mausoleum.
The others followed.
The mausoleum of the imperial concubine is next to the mausoleum of the emperor. After the death of the concubines in the palace of the Dayan Dynasty, they will be buried here.
The officials who were specially responsible for taking care of this place led the way, and they soon found the mausoleum of Concubine Yue.
The mausoleum of Concubine Yue is comparable to that of the Empress in the main palace, so it can be seen that the emperor really loves her very much.
Wei Liao secretly sighed that maybe those rumors back then were not necessarily false.
If Concubine Yue and the child in her womb hadn't died, she might really take the place of Empress Wen.
Xiao Juan ordered people to dig the grave.
The inner waiter and the officials of the Ministry of Rites stood by and watched.
The eunuchs who served in the house were fine, they just felt sorry for what happened to Concubine Yue, but the faces of the two officials of the Ministry of Rites were ugly.
When the Ministry of Rites learned that King Lang wanted to open the coffin for an autopsy, they firmly opposed it.
The Minister of Rites even rushed to the palace for this reason, crying and begging the emperor not to do this.
It is said that the deceased is the greatest, and rashly opening the coffin for an autopsy is disrespectful to the deceased!
If this matter spreads out, what will the people of the world think?
They are afraid that they will be drowned by the spittle of the people!
Unfortunately, the emperor was obedient to what Prince Lang said, and he couldn't listen to a word of other people's advice.
The Minister of Rites was furious. He fell ill after returning home last night. I heard that he was still lying on the bed.
Although he hated the traitorous villain of Prince Langjun to death, he had no choice but to let the Prince of Langjun do whatever he wanted in the concubine mausoleum, so he sent two officials to the concubine mausoleum to stare at the action of the prince of Langjun County. One move.
As long as Prince Lang has any unruly behavior, the coffin opening and autopsy must be stopped immediately!
At this moment, the two officials of the Ministry of Rites opened their eyes wide and stared at Concubine Yue's tomb, watching the tomb being dug bit by bit without blinking.
The tomb is divided into upper and lower layers. The upper layer has only an empty coffin. After they dug the upper layer, they had to go down the stairs to enter the real tomb.
Luo Pingsha and several other Eagle Guards descended into the tomb.
Wei Liao also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xiao Lan.
"Opening the coffin for an autopsy is not a trivial matter, and no one is allowed to enter."
Weilio: "I just look at it, but I won't do anything."
After saying that, he jumped straight into the tomb and walked down the stairs.
The inner servant and the people from the Ministry of Rites also wanted to go down, but when they saw that Xiao Juan was still standing still, they hesitated, wondering if they should go down?
The **** who served in the house couldn't help asking.
"Don't you want to go down and have a look?"
Xiao Juan said in a low voice: "The air in the tomb is not ventilated, and there may be poisonous gas hidden in it. If too many people enter it rashly, it may cause poisoning. This king will just wait on it."
Seeing that what he said was reasonable and well-founded, the eunuchs also gave up the idea of continuing.
As for the two officials of the Ministry of Rites, they did not move after several weighings.
The Minister of Rites asked them to monitor the King of Langjun.
They must be wherever Prince Lang is, and they must not let Prince Lang leave their line of sight!
The air in the tomb is really bad.
Luo Pingsha was having difficulty breathing, and he had to be prepared. He took out a medicine bottle, opened the cap, and put the bottle to his nose and smelled it.
A cool smell penetrated into his nose, which immediately made his breathing a lot easier.
He handed the medicine bottle to the Eagle Guards beside him and let them smell it too.
Wei Liao saw this, and cheekily approached to ask for it.
"What is this? Let me smell it too."
The Eagle Guards didn't have a good impression of him, so they returned the medicine bottle to Luo Pingsha after using it.
Luo Pingsha put the medicine bottle into his arms easily.
They worked together to open Concubine Yue's coffin, revealing the valuable funerary objects inside, as well as two skeletons, one large and one small.
Wei Liao covered his mouth and nose and leaned over, seeing two skeletons in the coffin, he couldn't help frowning.
"The skeleton of the little prince is still lying here, that is to say, the skeleton of the baby found in the palace is not the little prince, who could that child be?"
Luo Pingsha ignored him, put on special gloves and carefully turned the bones.
Wei Liao immediately became vigilant and questioned.
"What are you doing? Didn't Prince Lang say that as long as you open the coffin and see if the little prince's skeleton is still there? What else do you want to do with the skeletons of Concubine Yue and the little prince?"
Luoping Sha asked without raising his head.
"How can you be sure that these two skeletons must be Concubine Yue and the little prince? What if someone quietly put other skeletons here to confuse the public? I need to check."
Wei Liao sneered: "What are you kidding? This is the imperial mausoleum, who would dare to come here to steal the remains?"
"Lin Zi has all kinds of birds. If you want to know if these two skeletons are Concubine Yue and the little prince, you can find out by checking."
Luo Pingsha took out a pair of tweezers from the toolbox as he spoke, picked up a piece of bone and took a closer look.
After so many years of decay, the flesh and blood have long since rotted away, leaving only a little wrinkled, hard gray-black object stuck to the bones.
Wei Liao stood beside him and stared at Luo Pingsha's every move, and asked abruptly.
"You guys actually had a plan, didn't you?"
Luo Pingsha did not respond, so he did his own thing.
Wei Liao: "You said it was to prove the identity of the baby's remains in the palace. In fact, it was to open the coffin to examine the remains of Concubine Yue. I'm curious, who came up with such a bold idea?"
