The Grand Tutor wants to be the Queen every day and is going crazy

Chapter 47 The Female Corpse in the Lotus Pond

The next day.

Gu Qingluo was awakened by the loud noise. She sat up, squinted her eyes and shouted to the door: "Who is it? It's so noisy so early in the morning. If I find out who it is, I will deduct a year's salary from you."

After saying that, he lay down again.

I have become indifferent to life and death.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened." Eunuch Su opened the door and rushed in with an anxious look on his face.

Gu Qingluo said with a sleepy tone: "Is there another fight among the concubines? Take Xiao Lianzi over and hold them back. I will take a nap for a while."

When Eunuch Su saw that Gu Qingluo had no intention of getting up, he stamped his feet anxiously, and the wrinkles on his face were tightly wrinkled with excitement.

"Your Majesty, Lady Zhao is dead!"

"A body was found in the lotus pond!"

"What?" Gu Qingluo was so shocked that she sat up with a somersault and looked at Eunuch Su with disbelief.

Eunuch Su wiped away his tears and said, "Your Majesty, please go and have a look. Lady Zhao died tragically!"

Gu Qingluo quickly stood up and put on her shoes and socks. The palace maids came in one after another and dressed Gu Qingluo up as quickly as possible.

When Gu Qingluo and his group arrived at the lotus pond, it was already surrounded by people. A group of palace maids and eunuchs were whispering something to the corpse covered with white cloth on the ground.

Gu Qingluo didn't have time to listen carefully, and hurriedly ordered Eunuch Su to ask the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the case, and then walked over.

"What happened? Concubine Zhao was fine yesterday, why did something happen to her today?" Gu Qingluo asked with his lips tightly pursed and his face turned pale.

"Who found the body?"

"Your Majesty, it was discovered by me." A young palace maid stepped forward and replied at a loss.

Gu Qingluo looked at her sharply: "When was the body found?"

"Mao Shi."

"Did you see anyone else at the time?"

The little maid pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered: "Ah, I remember, I saw a pink figure."

Gu Qingluo: "Can you tell who that figure is?"

The little maid frowned, paused for a moment, and then opened her eyes wide: "I remember who it is. It is Ling'er, the beauty's personal maid. I have seen her wearing that dress. It must be her."

The little maid scratched her head and murmured, "But why is she walking so hurriedly? She almost tripped herself."

"She didn't kill him, why are you panicking?"

When she said these two sentences, Gu Qingluo felt a little strange.

Immediately, Gu Qingluo’s eyebrows were almost twisted together.

She suppressed her anger and asked in a low voice, "Where is Lady Zhao's personal maid?"

"Your Majesty, Ling'er has not been seen since last night, and no one knows where she has gone." A palace maid said, huddled up.

"Any of you who have worked with Ling'er, please stand up."

Two skinny little palace maids stood up, keeping their heads down and not daring to breathe.

He was afraid that the emperor would be furious and take his anger out on him.

Gu Qingluo frowned, his face cold and his expression extremely solemn as he asked: "When did you meet Ling'er?"

"Your Majesty, when we returned to our rooms to rest last night, Ling'er was nowhere to be found."

"When was the last time you saw Ling'er?"

"It was when Lady Zhao returned to Gong Ben Ling'er to make medicine for Lady Zhao that we never saw her again. We thought she was slacking off under the pretext of making medicine again, so we didn't think much about it. After all, she used all kinds of tricks to slack off, and we were used to it. It was normal for her to disappear for a night or two."

Gu Qingluo: "So, she used to disappear a lot?"

"Your Majesty, Ling'er has hooked up with a guard in the palace. She slacked off just to meet the guard in private. I've seen them several times. The two of them were disheveled and it was obvious that they were having an affair." A palace maid stepped forward bravely and said.

After seeing that Gu Qingluo had no intention of blaming them, the palace maids stood up one after another and talked about Ling'er.

"Your Majesty, Ling'er is dishonest and has dirty hands. She stole Lady Zhao's jewelry and sold it for money. Lady Zhao has beaten and scolded her several times but she has not changed. She has even become more arrogant."

"What else did she say? She is more beautiful than Lady Zhao. The one who can be called a beauty is Ling'er, not Lady Zhao."

"Ling'er is a restless person. She has hooked up with quite a few people. Half of the guards in Lady Zhao's palace have affairs with her."

"I think Ling'er must have stolen Lady Zhao's jewelry again. When Lady Zhao found out, she got so angry that she killed her and dumped her body in the lotus pond."

Gu Qingluo was overwhelmed after hearing this. She didn't expect that the death of one person would implicate a lot of people.

Based on her experience of watching suspense TV dramas, Ling'er's disappearance must be related to the death of Concubine Zhao, and she was most likely murdered.

At this time, there was a man wearing a red straight official robe, a gold belt of the same color tied around his waist, his black hair tied up with a jade crown, his slender body stood straight, and he looked handsome.

There was also an acquaintance following behind.

"Your Majesty, I have brought the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple." Eunuch Su ran to Gu Qingluo and whispered.

Eunuch Su bowed and said, "The Grand Justice is out on official business and cannot come, so I brought the Junior Justice here."

"Master Taifu came with Master Shaoqing."

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor."

Gu Qingluo remained calm and said, "Stand up, can you perform an autopsy?"

Qin Hean nodded and shook his head.

"Okay, that's not the case, have you brought the autopsy tools?"

Qin Hean nodded to the assistant beside him, and the assistant opened the box, revealing a complete set of tools for autopsy.

Gu Qingluo rolled up his sleeves, put on gloves, and walked towards Lady Zhao.

"Your Majesty, you must not do that. Be careful not to get bad luck." Eunuch Su followed behind Gu Qingluo, trembling with fear.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Little Lianzi was so anxious that he almost fell down.

Gu Qingluo insisted: "Bring the toolbox."

Xiao Lianzi couldn't persuade her, so she took out the toolbox.

Gu Qingluo lifted the white cloth and paused when she saw Lady Zhao’s pale face.

A person who was still alive yesterday has become a cold corpse today. It would be a lie to say that I don’t feel sad.

Qin Hean and Ji Yanchen stood side by side, looking at Gu Qingluo squatting on the ground. Qin Hean couldn't help but ask the curious question in his heart: "Why did you want me to lie to her that I can't do an autopsy?"

"She originally wanted to check it herself, but she just lacked the tools." Ji Yanchen's eyes never left Gu Qingluo, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

"She looks like a half-baked person, do you believe her?" Qin Hean asked with a smile.

Who doesn't know that the current emperor is a famous little good-for-nothing? Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, he doesn't care about state affairs and leaves them all to the regent to handle. This also makes the regent arrogant and powerful in the court.

"I believe her, I always have."

"I bet you that she can test it more accurately than you."

Qin Hean couldn't help laughing: "Aren't you bullying the little emperor?"

"As soon as I make a move, she will definitely lose~"

Ji Yanchen: "As long as you win, Zuijiu Pavilion will be given to you."

"Okay, this is what you said. If I lose, I will give you the Shaoqing Mansion!"

"No, if you lose, just be loyal to her. She needs more people who are loyal to her, and you are the most suitable one."

Qin Hean was skeptical: "It's so simple, there must be something fishy going on, right?"

"Believe it or not."

Seeing that Ji Yanchen didn't seem to be lying to him, Qin Hean agreed immediately.

Gu Qingluo also finished the examination, turned around, took off his gloves, cleaned his hands, looked at them and asked, "Do you want to know the cause of death?"

"Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to allow me to take the test as well."

Gu Qingluo was speechless: "Didn't you say you wouldn't?"

"Um...I suddenly know how to do it again." Qin Hean found the lameest excuse.

Gu Qingluo: “…”

How could he learn this all of a sudden? Is he really a genius?
