Chapter 233: Looking for What

ps of tea slowly and gracefully, then placed one in front of An Xue Tang. "Are you angry, A Tang"An Xuetang came back to her senses, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Feng Ming, "Brother, why do you..."Your Highness, please don't get agitated." Even if Yun Wu wanted to hide it, he couldn't anymore, so he finally told her the truth. "A serious homicide occurred at the city gate today. The Prince and Yun Liu have already gone out of the city to handle the matter."

"Out of the city" An Xue Tang threw the knife back to Yun Wu, her brow furrowed slightly. "What kind of case is worthy of your prince leaving in person"

By now, there was nothing left to hide. Yun Wu immediately told An Xue Tang about what had happened at the city gate today.

Today, for some unknown reason, those queuing to enter the city suddenly collapsed and foamed at the mouth. At first, only over a hundred people died, but by the time Mo Yunjing arrived at the city gate, the death toll had risen to over two hundred.

Over two hundred people suddenly died at the city gate. This had a huge impact, and rumors spread throughout the city. Some said it was ghosts or monsters, others claimed it was an epidemic or that a foreign enemy had poisoned them. All sorts of guesses were made!

Caused panic among city residents.

And the doctors in the city and Liu Langzhong, et al., in the military camp all went to personally examine those who had died, but they just couldn't figure out why they had suddenly died.

Later, Mo Yunjing found out that most of the deceased came from the same village. He decided to go and investigate in person.

Whether it was a plague or poisoning that killed him, he needed to find out.

During this period when war was about to erupt, such an incident happened, one can't help but say that there must be some conspiracy behind it.

Technically, this kind of thing shouldn't require the prince to intervene personally, but Mo Yunjing, despite appearing cold and heartless, is actually deeply sentimental.

Because it cannot be ruled out that these people died from the plague, Mo Yunjing couldn't let the Yun Family Army take risks.

Yunliu was able to go along because this group of people strongly persuaded Mo Yunjing to take him!

After hearing Yun Wu's words, An Xue Tang fell silent for a long time, and then frowned and looked at Yun Yi, "Did all the military doctors in the camp follow Ah Jing today"

Besides Liu Langzhong, the rest all went with the prince.

Where is Dr. Liu

"Still researching the cause of death at the city gate."

An Xue Tang pursed her lips, "Take me."

"Your Highness, please don't make your subordinate difficult. The Prince has ordered that you and the young master are not to leave the military camp half a step."

Yun Yi perhaps suddenly understood why the prince had repeatedly warned them not to tell the princess the specifics.

Perhaps the Prince understood his wife too well, knowing that she wouldn't remain uninvolved upon learning of what had transpired. That's why he initially sought to keep it from her.

An Xuetang's face instantly turned cold. "Could it be that you only obey Jing's orders, and you can disobey mine"

"Your Highness, I meant no disrespect."

"Alright, I don't want to say much. Just take me there proactively, because if I wanted to leave, with your...abilities, you wouldn't be able to stop me!"

Her words were so arrogant, but Mo Junyi knew that since she could say it, she could definitely do it.

Mo Junyi knew his mother had made up her mind, so he shook his head at Yun Yi at this moment. "Yun Yi, don't say anymore, immediately take me and mother to see what happened. Time is of the essence, let's go!"

"You can't go." An Xue Tang turned her head to look at Mo Jun Yi with a blank expression. There was no hint of humor in her face.

Mo Junyi was taken aback, and he hurriedly said, "Mother, I can also help. Don't always treat me like a child."

An Xuetang was too lazy to waste words. To everyone's surprise, she suddenly attacked and knocked out Mo Junyi.

So simple... and brutal!

Yun Yi and the others looked at Mo Junyi lying in An Xue Tang's arms with complex expressions. They had a new understanding of An Xue Tang: decisive!

An Xuetang sent Mo Junyi to Yun Yi's arms, "You send him back and watch over him, don't let him leave the camp. Yun Wu, you come with me, ah Jing is not here, you can't all leave this military camp."

An Xuetang had made up her mind, and right now she could only follow her arrangement.

Yun Wu and An Xue Tang wasted no time, immediately riding towards the city gate. The bodies of those who died today were burned as it was unclear if it was a plague.

All the deceased were left with one, who was being studied at this moment by Old Doctor Liu. To prevent infection or something similar, Doctor Liu locked himself and the deceased in an empty house near the city gate, having people guard outside and forbidding anyone from entering under normal circumstances.

When An Xuetang pushed the door open, Dr. Liu was holding his silver needles, looking this way and that, as if he wasn't sure what he was examining.

At this moment, hearing the sound of someone opening the door and coming in, Dr. Liu didn't even raise his head and sternly rebuked, "Get out! Get out! I told you I wouldn't eat today, and I don't allow any of you to come in. Why can't you understand human language Get out of here now!"

"Old man, it's me." An Xuetang spoke softly, she and Yunwu walked in step by step.

Hearing her voice, Dr. Liu was startled, his silver needles trembling in his hand. He quickly turned to look at her, "Your Highness, you... how did you get here"

After he finished speaking, he quickly opened his arms to prevent An Xuetang from moving forward. He spoke very seriously, "Your Highness, please leave this place immediately. This is not a place where you should be."

"Between his words, he glared at Yun Wu and scolded, "And what about you, Yun Wu Quickly take the Princess away, this place is not a place she should be!"

Behind An Xuetang, Yun Wu shrugged at him with a helpless look. He wished he had the ability to make their Princess turn around and leave now, then the Princess would certainly still be safe and sound in the military camp. She wouldn't be here at all.

Seeing Yun Wu's helpless gaze, Liu Langzhong glared at An Xue Tang, "How can you not listen properly! The prince has ordered you to stay put in the military camp, and yet you come running here!"

An Xuetang, wearing her homemade mask, also handed one to Yun Wu. She then offered one to Dr. Liu, saying calmly, "I've come all this way. Old man, don't waste any more time talking about me. Just put this on. Your veil won't do."

As for those veils used in ancient times, if a contagious disease were to appear, what could they possibly stop They are utterly useless!

Liu Langzhong finally understood the helplessness in Yun Wuyan's eyes. He sighed and shook his head, there was nothing he could do about An Xue Tang right now.

He looked at the 'mask' in her hand thoughtfully, and finally took it. He examined it carefully, then, imitating An Xue Tang and Yun Wu, put it on himself.

After putting it on, he felt a little short of breath and wanted to take it off, but An Xuetang stopped him. "This thing is much more useful than your veil," she said. "Wear it if you don't want to get infected."

Liulang instinctively wanted to retort, but An Xuetang had already gone around him to check on the deceased.

An Xuetang's gaze darted back and forth over the corpse. The person seemed to have died peacefully, with no expression of pain. They likely hadn't suffered any pain or torment before death.

After a moment's inspection, An Xuetang put on her homemade gloves and pried open the man's eyelids to examine his eyes. His cornea showed patchy opacities, which was a normal phenomenon hours after death. There were no hemorrhages in his conjunctival membrane, nor any bruising. His pupils also fell within the normal range for natural death.

An Xue Tang then checked the person's mouth, nose, and throat for bleeding or damage to the mucous membranes. She also examined both ears for bleeding. After a series of external examinations of the head, An Xue Tang turned to Liu Langzhong.

Upon inspection, it doesn't appear to be poisoned.

"Doctor Liu, after studying these hours, have you discovered anything"

Doctor Liu sighed, “I am incompetent. I cannot determine the cause of this man's death. Based on the acupuncture results, he was not poisoned. As for pestilence, he did not show any symptoms of dying from an epidemic.”

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly, her mind lost in thought. She then beckoned to Yun Wu, "Yun Wu, come here and help me turn him over, and take off his clothes."

A head examination alone is not enough. She needs to examine the body's surface for any signs of trauma, such as bruising, skin peeling, wounds, or discoloration. She will also look at the location and intensity of livor mortis and any pressure-related fading. Additionally, she will assess rigor mortis and check the limbs for defensive wounds or signs of restraint.

"This..." Yun Wu hesitated after hearing An Xue Tang's words. This man though dead, was still a man, wasn't it To let the Princess Consort see him like this... wouldn't that be inappropriate

Seeing that Yun Wu was motionless, An Xue Tang raised her eyes and glanced at him with a puzzled voice, "Yun Wu, what are you doing Come here and get to work."

Yunwu looked at Dr. Liu, and when she saw him shrug his shoulders, he could only sigh helplessly. In the end, he obediently went over to help her.

They flipped the corpse over and quickly stripped it of its clothes.

He had just finished everything, and An Xuetang spoke up, telling him to stand aside. She bent down and carefully examined the deceased from their neck down. It was more like she was searching for something than actually studying anything specific about the situation.

Dr. Liu knew that this princess was unlike ordinary women, she was quite extraordinary. But to see her so openly look at a man's body, he was also taken aback.

He looked at Yun Wu in a low voice, "Don't tell the prince about today's affairs."

He thinks that no man could accept his wife looking at another man's body, right

Yun Wu scratched his head in confusion, “But… that doesn’t seem quite right, does it”

He is the prince's man, the prince will surely ask him what the princess did during his absence. He had better tell the truth, or he won't want to keep his life

"Liu Langzhong wanted to say something more, but An Xue Tang calmly said, 'Old man, my Jing won't be jealous, don't worry. Just tell me, were the symptoms of those who died today the same as this person's Peaceful' "

An Xuetang fell silent, she narrowed her eyes and continued to carefully search the corpse.
