Chapter 231 Where are the autopsy documents?
Under the sunshine, a breeze with a little warmth blew, but the temperature of the wind made Du Ming feel a biting cold.
The eyes of King Dongli made him feel uneasy.
Nanqi saw that he looked timid and immediately realized that something was wrong. He scolded him, "Why didn't you answer the question when the prince asked you?!"
Du Ming shuddered and quickly replied, "Yes, that's right..."
"So, the body has been autopsied and the cause of death determined?"
Du Ming's eyes were blank, and he didn't quite understand.
Baili Moqing asked again, "Where are the autopsy documents?"
Shu He was quite surprised to hear his words. She was simply in awe of this man. He actually knew how to use the autopsy report as a breakthrough in this matter!
This coincided with her idea.
Looking at Du Ming again, he lowered his head, looking timid, not daring to look at the person in front of him, "Not yet..."
"No?" Baili Moqing raised his voice slightly, with a hint of displeasure, "Is there no autopsy document, or has the body not been autopsied? Explain clearly!"
After hearing this, Du Ming's face turned even paler. He stammered and didn't dare to speak.
The woman next to Du Ming looked a little confused and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, what, what autopsy?"
Baili Moqing's cold gaze swept across Du Ming, a hint of sternness between his brows. He then explained to the woman, "An autopsy is a method of determining the cause of death."
"In general criminal cases, when someone dies, the body must undergo an autopsy. Only through an autopsy can the cause of death be determined. Just like you said, the deceased in the disaster camp died from taking Doctor He's medicine. You are so certain, I believe that you must have conducted an autopsy and found the cause of death."
"So, I want to ask, where are the autopsy documents? What was the cause of death?"
The woman was bewildered when she heard this. Not only her, but the other people whose family members had died were also confused.
They had never heard of autopsy or cause of death.
The woman looked a little ashamed and said, "Your Highness, we are just ordinary people and don't understand what you are saying."
Baili Moqing was not surprised by this. "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. As long as this gentleman can understand it, that's all."
Du Ming noticed that Baili Moqing's gaze was on him, and the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.
Could it be that the prince discovered something?
"The prince is questioning you, and you still dare to be distracted?" Nanqi's threatening voice sounded again, making Du Ming's heart beat wildly.
He panicked a little, "Your Highness, I didn't know there was an autopsy."
"Don't know? Does that mean the body hasn't been autopsied yet?"
Du Ming lowered his head, clenched his hands tightly, and suppressed the panic in his heart.
"If that's the case, then how can you be sure that those people's deaths were caused by Doctor He?"
Baili Moqing's voice was very gentle, without any trace of nobility or pressure, but it was this light tone that made Du Ming's face turn pale.
His small eyes kept spinning as he was thinking about how to respond when someone in the crowd shouted, "They all got into trouble after drinking the medicine from the Princess's Mansion. If it's not the medicine that's at fault, what else could it be?"
"Yes, Your Highness, my man has always been in good health. If he hadn't been harmed by her medicine, how could he have died suddenly? Isn't this an obvious fact?"
Du Ming heard this, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said, "Yes, although there are no autopsy documents, those who died were all strong men. If they hadn't taken bad medicine, how could they die suddenly? And so many people died at once!"
"Your Highness, you can't be partial to this female doctor just because she saved you!"
"How dare you!" Nan Qi stepped forward and kicked Du Ming in the chest. "Are you implying that the prince is losing sight of public and private matters and intending to shield me?"
Du Ming, who had fallen to the ground, quickly got up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant! I, I..."
Shu He stepped forward, a look of grievance on his face. "I understand how everyone feels about losing a loved one. But everything the prince said makes sense. You say the prince favors me, and I cannot accept that! You can't just take my life just because someone in your family died, can you?"
The woman cried, "But my husband did drink your medicine..."
"Your man wasn't the only one who drank my medicine!" Shu He interrupted her, a chill on her face. "At least fifty people received free medical treatment at the Princess's Mansion yesterday. I want to ask, are all those people dead?"
Finally, her gaze fell on Du Ming. "I remember you were here yesterday, right? You also drank my medicine, so how come you're fine?"
Du Ming's body stiffened, his face evasive, "I, I didn't drink enough..."
"Really? Just because you drink less doesn't mean others drink less." She looked at the people in the courtyard and asked, "Among the people present, did anyone else receive free medical treatment yesterday?"
"Me! I'm going!"
A man in the crowd stretched out his hand, pushed through the crowd and walked out.
Shu He recognized him. He was the man who came to Biluoyuan yesterday. She even said a few words to him.
He stood up and bowed to Baili Moqing before speaking, "My name is Li Ziwei. I also received a free medical consultation at the Princess's residence yesterday."
After saying that, he also bowed to Shu He.
Until now, he still didn't believe that the deaths of those people in the camp were caused by taking the female doctor's medicine. After all, they had taken the medicine, and none of them were hurt at all.
This means that there is no problem with the medicine.
Shu He nodded slightly at him, a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
"Mr. Li, may I take your pulse?"
Li Ziwei agreed and immediately extended his hand.
Shu He took his pulse and found that his pulse had basically recovered and the three-day-old poison in his body had almost been cleared.
This shows that yesterday's medicine had a great effect on the three-day ulcers on these people! After all, the toxins in them were not deep to begin with, and she used the golden beard grass, which not only detoxified but also strengthened the body.
"After drinking the doctor's medicine yesterday, I felt the pain in my body disappear. Not only did it stop hurting, but even the red spots on my body and face have all subsided. I even feel a lot more relaxed than before, and I'm not as sensitive to the cold anymore."
Shu He nodded. Li Ziwei's physical condition was what it should be like after taking the medicine yesterday.
"I believe other people should feel the same as Mr. Li, right?"
She glanced at the crowd in the yard and recognized a few people she had met yesterday. She was waiting for their answers.
"I have it too!"
"I feel the same way."
People in the yard raised their hands one after another, not only men, but also many women.
Even the woman whose husband had died spoke up, "I, seem, to be the same..."
"That's right. The herb I used is the extremely precious Golden Whisker Grass. Even the imperial physicians in the palace know how precious it is. I'm sure you've met Imperial Physician Zhang yesterday. He was even willing to trade his entire fortune for that one herb!"
She stood in front of everyone, with an elegant temperament and a calm face. She was wearing a lake blue long dress, which made her look like an orchid in a deep valley. People couldn't help but like her and even wondered if they had really misunderstood her!
Li Ziwei nodded and confirmed, "Yes, you said at the time that the herbs were reserved specifically for us to treat our illnesses, and there were no extra for him!"
"That golden-bearded grass can not only cure diseases and remove toxins, but it can also strengthen the body. Therefore, anyone who takes my medicine will definitely not die suddenly!"
As soon as Shu He finished speaking, the crowd outside immediately became heatedly discussing.
"Is this true? She gave the medicinal herbs that even the imperial doctors in the palace coveted to the common people? And she didn't even ask for money? Isn't this a kind heart?"
"What kind of heart do you mean by bodhisattva? Maybe it's some kind of intestinal poison, otherwise why would someone die after eating it?"
Someone disagreed and retorted, "What about those who didn't die?"
"Maybe those people were lucky! Now over twenty people are dead, isn't that true? They all died after taking her medicine, isn't that true? How can we clear ourselves of this suspicion?"
