I insist

Chapter 452: Headache

Du Chun'an led his men to the imperial mausoleum, went to great lengths to enter the tomb, and stood in front of the coffin, hesitating for a long time.

"General, the Empress Dowager has already been laid to rest. We must respect the dead. Doing things this way will make her restless in the afterlife."

The person standing to the side looked at Du Chun'an and spoke softly.

"I know I should give the Empress Dowager a proper burial, but I must find out exactly how she died. She certainly didn't die suddenly."

And I believe that if the Empress Dowager knew I opened the coffin for her sake, she wouldn't be angry.

Du Chun'an frowned and spoke slowly and deliberately.

Upon hearing his words, the person beside him understood that the Empress Dowager's coffin had to be opened. He immediately withdrew and said nothing more.

Although Du Chun'an said this, he was also uneasy. He closed his eyes, and after a while he opened them and said firmly, "Open the coffin."

Upon hearing Du Chun'an's words, the group of people who had come with him immediately began to work on the Empress Dowager's coffin. They quickly succeeded in opening it.

Looking at the Empress Dowager, who was dressed in splendid attire and had many burial objects, Du Chun'an felt very complicated.

The emperor did not allow the empress dowager to be buried with the late emperor, giving a grand and respectable reason: to thank the empress dowager for her contributions.

Those who knew more or less about their relationship understood what the Empress Dowager meant, but no one dared to say it, including him.

Since this matter cannot be done in a dignified manner for the Empress Dowager, he will definitely investigate the matter of how she died thoroughly. He cannot let Empress Dowager Xiaobai die.

"Verification."

Du Chun'an glanced at the Empress Dowager and then addressed the others.

When he came here this time, he had already found someone who could tell at a glance whether the Empress Dowager had died suddenly or was poisoned.

The man walked straight forward; at this point, the question of whether or not to show respect to the Empress Dowager was no longer relevant.

Du Chun'an stood with his hands behind his back, expressionless, anxiously awaiting the result so he would know what to do next.

Soon, the man spoke up: "General, the Empress Dowager was indeed poisoned."

Du Chun'an turned to look at him, and said in a very firm tone, "Are you sure? It really was poisoning? You're not lying?"

"General, I am certain it was poisoning, and the poison was used very discreetly. I cannot identify the specific type of poison, but it is definitely poison."

After the man finished speaking, he handed the silver needles he had just used to Du Chun'an so that he could take a look.

Du Chun'an looked down and saw that the silver needle had indeed turned black, indicating that the poison was extremely potent.

"Okay, I understand. Restore everything to its original state and return to the manor now."

At first, he only had a suspicion, but he never expected that Song Miqiu was right. Moreover, he didn't even know what kind of poison the Empress Dowager had been poisoned with.

If you want to know, you can only go to Song Miqiu, after all, she is the most capable person in the Imperial Hospital.

Du Chun'an was both angry and afraid of the result, but there was nothing he could do about it, which made him very angry with himself.

After restoring the Empress Dowager's coffin to its original state, Du Chun'an returned to his residence with his men.

The first thing Du Chun'an did upon returning to the mansion was to go to the secret room to look for Song Miqiu, but he couldn't find a single person in the entire secret room.

The anger inside the imperial tomb suddenly erupted, and he shouted, "Where is he? How could such a healthy person just run away like that? Where is he?"

The guards who had been waiting outside the secret room immediately knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling with fear, when they saw that Du Chun'an was angry.

"Reporting to the general, while I was guarding them, two people suddenly appeared and fought with them. It's possible that they took advantage of this moment to rescue the person."

At this moment, the steward also arrived, pale-faced, and reported that Song Miqiu had been rescued.

"With so many people in the manor, you can't even keep an eye on one woman. I really don't know what use you are. Men, go find Song Miqiu's whereabouts."

After Du Chun'an vented his anger on the people in the mansion, he ordered his men to search for Song Miqiu's whereabouts.

As for those who failed to supervise properly, they would naturally be punished, but he had no time to punish them right now.

Ever since Song Miqiu was rescued by Yu Huailin, he was worried that something might happen to her again, so he kept a close eye on her and stayed by her side the whole time.

The neighbors all know the two of them and jokingly say that the two have a good relationship, of course the son and mother are the best.

Although Song Miqiu did not refute it, she couldn't stand being teased like this all the time.

"I've already learned my lesson, you don't need to stare at me like that, it makes me feel uncomfortable." Song Miqiu looked at Yu Huailin with some helplessness.

Yu Huailin completely ignored what Song Miqiu said and just kept following her.

"Although I saved you, you said before that Du Chun'an believed you and went to the imperial mausoleum. He confirmed that the Empress Dowager died of poisoning."

He'll definitely come looking for you; he'll definitely think you know more.

“He will definitely come to me again. The Empress Dowager’s matter is very important to him. He won’t give up so easily,” Song Miqiu said, frowning.

Perhaps to confirm their suspicions, after they arrived around the pharmacy, Yu Huailin noticed that there were many more people around, which was quite unusual.

"Why are so many people gathered here? Could something have happened at the pharmacy?"

Song Miqiu was a little scared and tried to rush forward, but Yu Huailin grabbed her wrist and whispered, "Don't be reckless, things aren't clear yet."

Don't scare yourself. I'll go and grab a civilian in a bit and ask them what happened.

After saying that, Yu Huailin let go of her hand, walked forward, and blended into the crowd. He looked at the man next to him and asked softly, "Why are there so many people gathered here?"

The man turned to Yu Huailin and said, "You don't know? It's people from the General of the Cavalry's mansion. They've surrounded the pharmacy, saying they're looking for their boss."

But the people at the pharmacy said the boss hadn't shown up for many days. They didn't believe him, so they surrounded the pharmacy.

I wonder where the owner of the pharmacy is. Such a big thing has happened, and he still hasn't shown up.

After receiving the news, Yu Huailin returned to the original place, where Song Miqiu was anxiously waiting.

"How is it? What happened?" Song Miqiu asked anxiously.

"Nothing serious happened at the pharmacy. It was just that Du Chun'an surrounded it to force you to show up."

This Du Chun'an is really hard to deal with; he won't give up until he gets what he wants.

Yu Huailin was a bit of a headache; he hadn't expected Du Chun'an to be so persistent.

Song Miqiu hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Then I will definitely go out. If I don't show up, Du Chun'an might take his anger out on the people at the pharmacy."

No, I can't let that happen.
