Chapter 271: Nanny Chang is Exposed

The two coroners followed the emperor's order and came to the six female corpses again. They said solemnly, "Your Majesty, after careful examination, the female corpses covered with black hair should have died at least fifteen to twenty days ago."

"And judging from the state of decay of this female corpse, she must have been dead for about half a year. As for the one over there..."

As they talked, they carefully observed each female corpse and, based on the degree of decay and surrounding environment, they deduced the approximate time of death of these women.

Jiang Yimo stood quietly by and listened, thinking secretly in her heart.

After the coroner finished his report, she was surprised to find that the time of death inferred by the other party was almost the same as her previous estimate.

Originally, she did not have high expectations for these two ancient coroners. After all, science and technology were not yet developed at that time. But now it seems that these two people do have certain real talents and skills.

It is truly admirable that he was able to so accurately examine the conditions of the six female corpses by relying solely on visual observation, brain thinking and years of accumulated practical experience.

Jiang Yimo couldn't help but secretly sigh that these two people were indeed extraordinary!

The emperor listened quietly to the reports of the two coroners. His eyes were as sharp as knives, as if he wanted to pierce Concubine Xiao into pieces.

After hearing what the two coroners said, Prime Minister Lu's face turned pale as paper, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

He secretly complained in his heart: his sister has always been decisive, ruthless and he has always known this.

However, what he never expected was that what she was doing now had become so bad!

In just less than three years, such a large number of innocent palace maids were slaughtered!

Is this still the woman who was so weak that she was almost blown down by the wind?

At this moment, Prime Minister Lu's heart was also filled with fear and shock.

He simply didn't dare to think about what kind of earth-shattering disaster would be brought to the entire Lu family if all these things were eventually proven to be done by Concubine Xiao!

What made him even more frightened and uneasy was that, facing such a cruel, vicious and unscrupulous sister, this time, he had an unprecedented ominous premonition in his heart - their Lu family was doomed and would surely die this time.

If they want to avoid this catastrophic disaster, there is probably only one way to go, and that is to completely draw a line between the Lu family and Concubine Xiao and cut ties with them.

Otherwise, Lu Zhihong’s position as Prime Minister would be lost.

He was just thinking about it when the emperor spoke again.

"Little Li, you go and conduct a thorough investigation immediately! See which palace maids in the harem have mysteriously disappeared or are missing in the past three years. I want to know it clearly!" The emperor gave the order with a serious face.

Upon hearing the voice, Eunuch Li hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude, then quickly stood up and left, heading straight for the cold palace.

However, what was unexpected was that just as Eunuch Li stepped out of the cold palace gate, Xitang, who had just recovered a little, spoke again: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, please forgive me for being so bold. Nanny Chang is not only the wet nurse of Concubine Xiao, but also the person she trusts the most. Perhaps she knows a lot about Concubine Xiao's past. Because she sewed my mouth herself."

At this moment, Xitang enlightened everyone present. They suddenly realized that there was such a key person who was forgotten here.

Everyone was whispering and talking among themselves, expressing their agreement with what Xitang said.

After Xitang's advice, they realized that Nanny Chang, who had always been with Concubine Xiao, was very likely to hold important clues.

However, Xitang's words made Concubine Xiao and Nanny Chang hate her to the core.

After all, if it weren't for Xitang's words, they might have been able to escape the blame.

But now Xitang has experienced the test of life and death and is no longer afraid of anything.

Even if she is facing the threat of death at this moment, she will definitely drag those who have hurt her into an irretrievable place.

"Yes, Madam Chang? I almost forgot about you." The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the seemingly calm old woman kneeling not far behind Concubine Xiao, and said, "Since this little palace maid has pointed you out by name, do you plan to confess on your own initiative, or wait for me to order you to be severely tortured before you speak?"

Faced with the emperor's questioning, Nanny Chang did not show the slightest sign of panic.

She straightened her back and knelt there steadily, her face still maintaining that unfathomable calm and composure.

She took a deep breath and responded, "Your Majesty, please understand! This old slave did sew up Xitang's mouth, but these corpses in front of me have nothing to do with me at all!"

Despite the seriousness of the situation, Nanny Chang still insisted that she had nothing to do with the corpses, and tried to defend herself and her master with a firm and righteous tone.

However, in the eyes of others, the calmness she displayed at this moment seemed more like a forced illusion, and her real purpose was just to confuse people.

"You are so stubborn! Humph, you really don't want to be punished! Do you have to suffer a little before you surrender?" As soon as the words fell, the emperor's mouth slightly raised, outlining a chilling smile. There was a hint of cunning in that smile, as if it was hiding endless conspiracies and calculations.

Then, he turned his gaze to Jiang Yimo, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, and said, "Jiang girl, I heard from the evil king that you have hidden a lot of new tricks in your little head to play tricks on people. Today is a good day, let this Chang Ma have a taste of your power."

After saying that, he patted Jiang Yimo's shoulder meaningfully, as if he was full of expectations for the new gadget she developed.

"..."

Well, she did like to study those tricks that could play tricks on people, but the emperor couldn't say it in front of so many people.

The emperor's words destroyed the righteous image she had worked so hard to establish.

Then, Jiang Yimo pretended to cough twice and said thoughtfully: "Madame Chang, you'd better confess everything you know honestly. What I have in my hand is more terrible than the punishment in the prison."

However, even though Jiang Yimo reminded Nanny Chang, she just didn't appreciate it.
