Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas StudiosThe Retired Emperor had given Ning Yue half of the assets of all his businesses. Ning Yue did not know how to answer such a precious gift.
She originally wanted to refuse, but the Retired Emperor’s unwillingness made Ning Yue unable to say anything.
“Yes, you have to get married as soon as possible,” the Retired Emperor said.
When Ning Yue heard this, her face turned as red as an apple. “Emperor!”
The Retired Emperor laughed out loud. He looked at Jiang Ying. “Alright, 1 won’t keep you any longer. Go back.”
Ning Yue held the seal given by the Retired Emperor and was a little puzzled. What was wrong with the Retired Emperor? Why did he suddenly give her half of the assets of all his businesses?
Did the Retired Emperor have any plans? Ning Yue returned home with the seal and doubts with Jiang Ying.
Ning Yue vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t tell what was wrong.
After thinking about it for a few days, something finally happened.
That day, Jiang Ying returned home and told Ning Yue that the Retired Emperor had passed away. Ning Yue was shocked and asked in disbelief, “How?”
She had previously treated the Retired Emperor’s illness. Although the Retired Emperor’s health was not good, she had also nursed him back to health and allowed him to return from the gates of hell again and again.
Most importantly, the Retired Emperor was not as worried about the state affairs as before. His state of mind was calm, and his lifespan should have been extended. Why had he passed away?
At the thought of this, Ning Yue’s first reaction was that the Retired Emperor’s death was not simple.
“The Retired Emperor was poisoned to death,” Jiang Ying said.
“Why didn’t you ask me to go?” Ning Yue asked.
Jiang Ying sighed heavily. “The Retired Emperor died around nine o’clock last night. It wasn’t until six this morning that the eunuch entered the room to ask the Retired Emperor if he wanted to get up and wash up that he realized that the Retired Emperor had passed away. The imperial physician was already helpless.”
“No, let me take a look!” Ning Yue’s bad feeling intensified. For some reason, she was unwilling to believe that the Retired Emperor had died for no reason.
Was he poisoned? What had he eaten to be poisoned? And who had poisoned him?
There was no answer to all of this. She would not easily believe that the Retired Emperor’s passing would be so inexplicable.
“Imperial Brother thinks so too. He asked me to enter the palace with you,” Jiang Ying said.
Actually, Jiang Ying was originally unwilling to agree to the Emperor’s request, but the person who died was the emperor’s father and uncle.
His uncle doted on him too. For a moment, he was in a dilemma.
The emperor told Jiang Ying to tell Ning Yue about this. If Ning Yue was unwilling, then forget it. In the emperor’s opinion, the Retired Emperor’s situation was already hopeless.
To the emperor’s surprise, Ning Yue was actually willing to enter the palace to examine the Retired Emperor. Although everyone thought that the Retired Emperor had already passed away, they inexplicably felt hope when Ning Yue entered.
Ning Yue took a deep breath, put on a mask, and put on her homemade white coat.
The Retired Emperor had been poisoned. Who knew if this poison was contagious?
After putting on her clothes, Ning Yue walked into the house. At this moment, the emperor had already asked everyone to retreat and let Ning Yue check the situation.
Ning Yue stepped forward and placed her hand on the Retired Emperor’s wrist. His wrist was already cold. Ning Yue frowned and checked.
In the end, he realized that there was something strange about the Retired Emperor’s corpse.
The emperor and the others waited outside for a long time but did not see Ning Yue come out. They could not help but be a little anxious. After pacing back and forth for a long time, Ning Yue’s voice came from inside.
“Your Majesty and Jiang Ying, please come in,” Ning Yue said.
The two of them looked at each other and understood what Ning Yue meant. She only let them in and not let them bring the other palace servants in.
The two of them entered the emperor’s bedroom and saw that Ning Yue did not look too good.
“Your Majesty, 1 need to talk to you about something professional. Please calm down. It’s like this. In forensic science, after a person dies, the vital activity of the various organs, tissues, and cells of the body stops. The organs are affected by various factors in the internal and external environment and will undergo a series of postmortem changes with special signs. It’s called the stages of death.”
“In a natural environment, changes that occur within twenty-four hours of death are usually called early stages of death. Early stages of death include muscle relaxation, decreased corpse temperature, rigor mortis, livor mortis, local dryness, autolysis, and so on.”
After saying this, Ning Yue paused for a moment. She needed the emperor to accept it. Ordinary people might not be able to accept it..
