The 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 Emperorâs unwillingness made Ning Yue unable to say anything.
âYes, you have to get married as soon as possible,â the Retired Emperor said.
When Ning Yue heard this, her face turned as red as an apple. âEmperor!â
The Retired Emperor laughed out loud. He looked at Jiang Ying. âAlright, 1 wonât keep you any longer. Go back.â
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 couldnât 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, âHow?â
She had previously treated the Retired Emperorâs illness. Although the Retired Emperorâs 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 Yueâs first reaction was that the Retired Emperorâs death was not simple.
âThe Retired Emperor was poisoned to death,â Jiang Ying said.
âWhy didnât you ask me to go?â Ning Yue asked.
Jiang Ying sighed heavily. âThe Retired Emperor died around nine oâclock last night. It wasnât 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.â
âNo, let me take a look!â Ning Yueâs 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 Emperorâs passing would be so inexplicable.
âImperial Brother thinks so too. He asked me to enter the palace with you,â Jiang Ying said.
Actually, Jiang Ying was originally unwilling to agree to the Emperorâs request, but the person who died was the emperorâs 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 emperorâs opinion, the Retired Emperorâs situation was already hopeless.
To the emperorâs 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 Emperorâs wrist. His wrist was already cold. Ning Yue frowned and checked.
In the end, he realized that there was something strange about the Retired Emperorâs 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 Yueâs voice came from inside.
âYour Majesty and Jiang Ying, please come in,â 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 emperorâs bedroom and saw that Ning Yue did not look too good. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYour Majesty, 1 need to talk to you about something professional. Please calm down. Itâs 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. Itâs called the stages of death.â
âIn 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.â
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..
