64. Chapter 64 The Jedi fight back
Cao Hu went to Funing Palace to see the Empress Dowager. After a heart-to-heart talk with the Empress Dowager, Cao Hu came out with a look of sadness on his face.
He had planned to open Cao Yan's coffin for an autopsy, and he was so anxious that he didn't want to waste a moment. The orderer sent Wu Yishan some advice from Tai Hospital.
Wu Yishan had long heard the news that the Crown Princess Cao Yan was dead. He didn't believe it before, but now he was shocked when the meeting confirmed that the rumors were true.
He was shocked in his heart but did not show it. According to Cao Hu's instructions, he found Hang Xiaojian.
Although Hang Xiaojian is young, he has rich experience, so when Wu Yishan mentioned Hang Xiaojian, Cao Hu, who had already heard about Hang Xiaojian's reputation in this industry, did not object.
It is said that Hang Xiaojian was nineteen years old. He grew up in a poor family and could not afford to eat, so he studied under Liu Dakan at the age of ten. Liu Dakan passed away the year before last, and Hang Xiaojian changed from an apprentice to a master. But it was Liu Dakan who passed away who is really famous.
In the previous case, a wealthy businessman's son died mysteriously. After a long investigation, the man did not find any wounds or signs of poisoning. Later, Hang Xiaojian found out the cause. It turned out that there was a needle as thin as a hair in the man's heart.
After the case was determined to be a homicide, the government quickly caught the perpetrator based on the clues provided by Hang Xiaojian, and Hang Xiaojian became famous.
Not only Cao Hu but also Nangong Ao had heard about Hang Xiaojian. Therefore, both Cao Hu and Nangong Ao were convinced that Hang Xiaojian could find out the cause of Cao Yan's death.
Hang Xiaojian investigated all night and finally concluded that Cao Yan died of illness. This news made Nangong Ao relieved, but Cao Hu could not accept it.
"How is that possible?" Cao Hu roared at Hang Xiaojian.
Seeing the majestic general attacking him, Hang Xiaojian was not afraid or frightened, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "If General Cao doesn't believe it, you can ask another man to test it."
Hearing Hang Xiaojian's words, Cao Hu's heart felt like it was being roasted on a fire. Cao Yan's death almost killed him. He endured the pain of his heart and performed an autopsy on her. The conclusion he came to was not what he expected.
I thought, and now I'm trying it again, how could he bear to let his daughter be so uneasy after her death?
Wu Yishan looked at the angry Cao Hu and said, "General Cao, calm down, Hang Wuzuo is now the leader in this field, and during the entire investigation process, Hang Wuzuo was not the only one, but also two imperial doctors from the imperial hospital, and two others.
Everyone agreed that there were no flaws in the inspection.
We don't dare to make any mistakes when it comes to the Crown Princess. If the general still has suspicions, then I can invite a few more widowers to investigate together?"
Hearing Wu Yishan's words made Cao Hu feel cold. The results of these investigations together were consistent. If someone was invited to check again, they would find different results.
Nangong Ao stood there silently. He was very satisfied with the result. Cao Yan had died of a sudden illness, but the Cao family loved their daughter so much that they refused to believe it and had to kill such a good person.
No whole body.
Now that the results came out, Cao Hu still refused to accept it, so he let Cao Hu conduct a second survey.
Cao Hu frowned, looking at his daughter under the white cloth in grief. Although he couldn't accept the current result, he had no other choice.
Moreover, when he met with the Empress Dowager, she also informed him of the cause of Cao Yan's death. Now that the investigation results were unanimous, he could only accept it.
"What does General Cao mean?" Nangong Ao asked, seeing that Cao Hu had not spoken for a long time.
When Cao Hu heard this, he was sad and helpless and said, "I will obey the emperor's arrangements."
Nangong Ao frowned slightly after hearing this, "General Cao, in my opinion, let Yan'er rest in peace!"
Cao Hu nodded reluctantly after hearing this, his old face showing sadness.
Nangong Ao ordered to go down and bury the Crown Princess Cao Yan with lavish ceremony. She was buried according to the rites of a queen and named Cao Yan the virtuous queen.
After his daughter died and was sealed, this also gave Cao Hu a little comfort in extreme pain.
Just a few days after the new emperor ascended the throne, the royal family held two grand funerals, one for the deceased emperor and one for the virtuous queen. The whole country in the Northern Tang Dynasty mourned and mourned for three days. During these three days, no marriage or marriage was allowed in the Northern Tang Dynasty.
Wear fine clothes and are not allowed to eat meat.
Three days after Cao Yan was buried, Ye Wange, who had moved into Funing Palace, sat at the table with his chin propped up in deep thought.
Her calculations were miscalculated again and again, which made her restless. When Cao Hu returned to the court, he was not as angry as she expected because Nangong Ao concealed his loss and failed to report it.
She really couldn't figure it out. With Cao Hu's temper, shouldn't he be deeply dissatisfied with this matter?
Ye Wange couldn't figure it out. In fact, Cao Hu was deeply dissatisfied with this matter, but when he met the Empress Dowager, all of Cao Hu's dissatisfaction disappeared.
The Empress Dowager explained the reason for not mourning, saying that Cao Yan only wanted Nangong Ao to sit on the throne safely. At that extremely urgent moment, if there was a mourning, she was afraid that Cao Hu would not want to fight and would not be able to quell the civil strife in the Northern Tang Dynasty.
The Northern Tang Dynasty was in crisis.
Cao Hu was deeply dissatisfied after hearing this, but he understood his daughter's affection for Nangong Ao. He had already seen it from the letter he received from home.
Every word in the letter home to him asked him to assist Nangong Ao in ascending to the throne of God. The most important thing was that Cao Yan seemed to know that she was leaving, and told Cao Hu that no matter she was here or not, she would always hope that he would always be there.
Assist Nangong Ao.
Ye Wange was very calculating, but she never expected that Nangong Ao would have such a loving woman who cared about her so much that he could prevent the disaster for him.
After sitting and thinking for a long time, Ye Wange couldn't sit still. Cao Yan passed away and there were only her as the queen and Shen Ruhui as the concubine in the harem. The courtiers told the Empress Dowager that the harem was empty and they wanted to choose a concubine for the emperor.
It was a normal thing for the emperor to choose his concubine, but she was very dissatisfied with the person in charge of it. Shen Liang was in charge of this matter.
I heard that Shen Liang has selected ten beauties and will bring them to the palace to meet the saint tomorrow.
Sitting in the queen's seat, Ye Wange felt as if she was on pins and needles. All the events in her previous life left her frightened. In this life, she felt that she could change her fate, but it was a pity that she kept making miscalculations.
Whether she can turn the situation around, tomorrow is the most critical moment.
Ye Wange did not participate in the emperor's concubine selection in the previous life, because during the concubine selection, she became strangely ill. She felt cold all over and her legs and feet were weak. At that time, she really thought she was sick, but now she thinks she was just poisoned.
This poison was given by her good slave Xiao Zi. He first poisoned her to make her sick and unable to participate in the emperor's selection of concubines. It made outsiders think that she was jealous and deliberately did not show up, which ruined her reputation. Then she gave the emperor an aphrodisiac.
The medicine blamed her.
The poisonous plan was linked one after another, causing her so much misery. No matter how hard she memorized words in this life, she would never end up in the same miserable state as in the previous life.
Ye Wange packed up early and waited until the time came to go to the Yangxin Hall. At this moment, Xiao Zi came in with a bowl of ginseng soup.
"Queen, this is the best ginseng soup. You can drink it while it's still hot!" Xiao Zi calmly brought the bowl of soup to Ye Wange.
Ye Wange glanced at it, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "I just put on lipstick, and I'm going to the emperor's place soon. You can eat it after I come back!"
Upon hearing that Ye Wange refused to drink the soup, Xiao Zi's calm face immediately showed signs of anxiety.
"Empress, this ginseng is a rare wild ginseng, you'd better drink it while it's hot!" Xiao Zi consoled her.
Listening to Xiao Zi's consolation, Ye Wange frowned slightly, "It would be a waste not to drink such a good thing."
"Yes." Xiao Zi immediately agreed after hearing that Ye Wange was wavering.
Ye Wange smiled and said, "Then I'll reward you with it!"
After hearing this, Xiao Zi's expression froze and she said, "Thank you, Queen."
Looking at Xiao Zi's ugly face, Ye Wange smiled and said, "Such a good thing, drink it while it's still hot!"
"This!" Xiao Zi looked at the soup bowl with ingredients in front of her and hesitated.
Ye Wange looked at Xiao Zi with sharp eyes and said, "Drink! You said this is a rare treasure. My Majesty, do you want to live up to my kindness?"
Seeing Xiao Zi's hesitant look, Ye Wange didn't give her a chance to escape, and made her words irresistible. Even if the master's reward was poison, slaves would have to drink it, not to mention that this was what Xiao Zi kept saying.
Ginseng soup has many benefits. If Xiao Zi dares to disobey the order and refuses to drink it, firstly he will be punished for disobeying the queen's wishes, and secondly, it will reveal the flaws in the soup that have been added.
At this point, Xiao Zi held her nose and drank the bowl of soup no matter how unwilling she was.
"Drink! After drinking, we will go to the emperor's place!" Ye Wange stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes and said.
"Yes." Xiao Zi responded, hesitatingly catching a glimpse of Ye Wange's helpless and suspicious eyes. She no longer dared to refuse, picked up the soup bowl and drank in two gulps.
Ye Wange watched Xiao Zi drink the bowl of soup with added ingredients, and she smiled with satisfaction.
"Xiao Zi, you and Xiaodie stay, Xiao Zhi, Xiao Yuanzi, Ping'er and Ning'er follow me." Ye Wange ordered.
Now that Ye Wange is the queen, she has a large number of eunuchs and palace maids at her disposal. She left Xiao Zi and Xiao Die behind because Xiao Zi was about to get sick after being poisoned, and she was afraid of letting Shen Liang see Xiao Zi.
If a clue comes out and something big breaks, let Xiao Zi stay and let Xiao Die watch Xiao Zi so that she can take care of that bitch Xiao Zi at night.
Ye Wange went to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart. When Nangong Ao saw Ye Wange's graceful figure, he glanced sideways and said, "Queen, come quickly, take a look at these beauties that Master Shen has chosen for me."
Ye Wange walked slowly towards Nangong Ao and glanced at these beauties, who were dressed in red and willows and had plump and thin bodies.
Standing next to Nangong Ao, he looked at the beauties in front of him with dignity and dignity and said, "These beauties are all as beautiful as flowers. Master Shen has really taken a lot of trouble."
"These are all recommended by various ministers. I don't dare to claim credit." Shen Liang lowered his eyes and replied with a pair of shrewd and calculating black eyes.
Hearing Shen Liang's respectful words, Nangong Ao said, "I will reward him generously."
Shen Liang thanked him after hearing this. Although Nangong Ao didn't mention him by name and said that he wanted to reward Shen Liang heavily, he was the one who handled the matter. This needless to say that Shen Liang knew that it was him that Nangong Ao wanted to reward him heavily.
Ye Wange looked at the beauty in front of her with her eyebrows and lips painted, and immediately recognized He Yingchun, who had rosy eyebrows and arrogant eyes. She looked at He Yingchun with a heavy gaze.
