Luo Lin hurriedly shook his head: "I can't sense it. Jun'er never told me about any injustice she suffered during her lifetime. She only reported good news and not bad news, so I have no idea what she went through!"

Emperor Sheng An questioned, "Are you reporting good news but not bad news, or are you simply indifferent? Luo Lin, you treat your wife so poorly, how can I let you off so easily?"

Luo Lin suddenly opened his eyes and murmured in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I didn't do it. Why are you punishing me? What did I do wrong?"

"Bang!" Emperor Sheng An pressed his entire face against the bones. He shouted, "Luo Lin, are you wrong?"

The unpleasant smell filled Luo Lin's nose and he almost fainted from fright.

He answered without hesitation: "I am wrong, I am wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Sheng An threw him to the ground and turned to look at Lin Yiwan: "You test the corpse for poison. If it is confirmed that she died of poisoning, then I will find the murderer in Luo Mansion to comfort her soul in heaven!"

Lin Yiwan sighed helplessly, "Your Majesty, why would you need to test for poison? Normal people's bones won't turn blue-black after death, unless they've been infiltrated by a chronic poison that's slowly seeping into their bones and blood!"

Emperor Sheng An closed his eyes tightly and asked, "Then do you know what the poison is?"

Lin Yiwan slowly replied, "Bola!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Sheng An turned and glared at Luo Lin: "Do you admit your guilt?"

The voice mixed with anger roared, making Luo Lin sweat all over.

He argued in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I really don't know what Bāla is. Please understand!"

Emperor Sheng An cast a mocking look at Madam Luo: "I suppose your step-wife should know this very well, right?"

The deliberately emphasized word "stepwife" made Huo Nianyu look extremely ugly, and even Luo Yan bit her lips hard.

She quickly knelt down and said, "I don't know what Bharata is either!"

Emperor Sheng An laughed suddenly: "Don't know? I don't know why you were so guilty as to hide the body, and now that you're investigating, you're even trying to burn the body to cover up all evidence?"

Madam Luo cried and argued, "Your Majesty is wise. I have been kept in the dark. All of this was done by Nanny Fan who was beside me. I am innocent!"

Luo Yan also pleaded, "Your Majesty, my mother has always been kind. She wouldn't even dare to step on an ant to death. How could she be so determined to murder you, Madam?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Luo Feng and said, "Brother, please help mother to plead for mercy. Mother treats you like her own son. Even though there are embroiderers in the mansion, she will personally embroider clothes and stockings for you. You should know that she cried so much that her eyes were damaged because of the death of her wife!"

A complex look flashed in Luo Feng's eyes. Xiao Luo had indeed treated him well over the years.

Whenever he saw her face that looked like his mother's, he felt as if his mother had not left yet.

Coupled with her gentleness and kindness, he gradually became more and more dependent on and respectful of her.

But now that his mother's body had become like this, his heart felt as if it had been cut open.

She was suppressed under the six Buddhas, and he didn't believe that she was innocent!

She prayed to Buddha and copied scriptures every day.

Nanny Fan was her personal nanny. Without her permission, how could she dare to replace the body so arrogantly?

How much he once trusted this aunt, how much he hated her now!

She is absolutely innocent!

He took a deep breath and said, "In our mansion, how capable is a servant to replace the body of the mistress of the house? And to invite six Buddhas to suppress it, and even stuff her mouth with chaff, making it difficult for her to complain?"

Luo Lin subconsciously scolded: "Luo Feng, this is your aunt, how can you slander and doubt her like this?"

Luo Feng refuted without hesitation: "Now I remember, when my mother was buried, she fainted from excessive crying. Many people begged me to help her away. When I came back, the tomb was sealed. Perhaps it was at that critical moment that they moved the body away!"

He raised his hand and slapped himself hard a few times, saying, "Son, I regret this. If I hadn't left my mother's side for a moment, would her body have been destroyed?"

He used great strength, and in just a moment, his cheeks were red and swollen.

The Queen sighed helplessly, "Feng'er, it's not too late for you to repent now. Your mother's body is before you, and she needs you to seek justice for her!"

Luo Feng nodded with red eyes: "Empress, as a son, I, Luo Feng, will never let my unjustly dead mother down!"

He stood up quickly and said with a determined look on his face: "Come here, search Madam Luo's yard to see if there is any poisonous Bora!"

Luo Lin scolded in disbelief: "Luo Feng, you are crazy, she is your aunt, how can you doubt her? You can forget her kindness in raising you, but she was bitten by a poisonous snake because of you before, and she had such a deep scar on her ankle. How can you repay her kindness with hatred?"

I have to say that Luo Lin's words were quite vicious.

As a student of the Imperial College, Luo Feng will inevitably have to take the imperial examination and become an official in the future.

If he were to be branded as ungrateful, his future would be over.

Let me ask you, which court is willing to use disloyal and unfilial people?

Luo Feng had obviously thought of this as well. He smiled bitterly and said, "Father is willing to ruin his son's future just for her?"

Luo Lin argued with a guilty conscience: "I didn't. I just wanted to remind you not to be deceived. Your aunt loves you after all. What you should do most is to clear her name!"

Luo Feng raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "By doing this, isn't it to clear her of the injustice? As long as there is no poisonous Bola in her room, she is innocent!"

Luo Lin opened his mouth, but was unable to refute.

Madam Luo said anxiously, "Feng'er, you sent people to search my yard. It will bring bad reputation to me. You should think twice!"

Luo Feng interrupted without hesitation: "Since you have nothing to hide, why should you be afraid? If it is proven that you are innocent in the end, I will definitely kneel down and beg the Emperor and the Empress to give you justice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he personally led people straight to Madam Luo's yard.

Luo Yan's expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly chased after him: "Brother, brother!"

As soon as Luo Feng entered Madam Luo's yard, he ordered people to search carefully.

Luo Yan rushed to him angrily and grabbed his arm to stop him: "Brother, how could you do this to mother? Didn't you promise me before that you would protect her well?"

Luo Feng lowered his eyes and looked at his sister in front of him, meeting her fiery eyes.

He reached out and pried open her fingers one by one. He sneered, "Before, I was kept in the dark and didn't know what she did. Now my mother's body is lying out there. How can I protect a murderer who might have killed her?"
