Upon receiving the news, Gu Yunxi and Master rushed to Weiyan Chamber together with two guards, followed by Imperial Doctor Jiang, and two eunuchs from the Imperial Ceremony Office.

The curtain of the chamber was open and inside were Imperial Doctor Tian and a female medical officer from the Imperial Hospital.

The two had just checked Gu Yunjin's body and were cleaning their hands.

At this time, when they saw Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot bringing people there, their expressions were slightly strange.

"What have you found out? What is the cause of death?"

Leng Qingtang asked in an indifferent tone.

He never liked Gu Yunjin.

In the past, she bullied Yunxi everywhere as she was favored by the chief maid of the Garden. But after the Eastern Depot was in trouble, she even sought refuge with Ming Lan of the Western Depot. And thus she managed to enter the Palace and help the Wans to do many bad things that caused disasters in the imperial harem. Now that she died, it was due to retribution.

Imperial Doctor Tian wiped his face with both hands and bowed to Leng Qingtang,

"Report to Master, Concubine Jin died of cerebral hemorrhage. The maid Caiyue should have seen her master's death and committed suicide to follow her."

"Cerebral hemorrhage?"

Leng Qingtang frowned and suddenly a trace of doubt passed in his mind.

Being stared at by the two calm and deep eyes of Leng Qingtang, Imperial Doctor Tian was disconcerted with blood freezing in his veins. He bowed and said,

"Master, you don’t know that cerebral hemorrhage often happens beyond expectation. Usually, chest tightness and headaches are the prognosis of this disease. Master Jin was young, so she didn’t pay attention to the daily prognosis. Caiyue is the only one that knows her best, but now she has died, too..."

Gu Yunxi's face was serious and she suddenly spoke,

"Master, I met with Master Jin when I was a servant in the imperial harem. She has passed by now. I implore you to allow me to... to see her for the last time."

Leng Qingtang turned around and saw Gu Yunxi next to him faintly saying a sentence. With a slightly cold expression on his face, he didn't say a word again.

Her eyes were dark but not shining, as if stars all over the sky were blinded by dark clouds.

Leng Qingtang nodded and then turned his gaze silently at Imperial Doctor Jiang.

Imperial Doctor Jiang nodded and walked to the bed of the corpse with Gu Yunxi.

Imperial Doctor Tian and the female medical officer looked at each other coldly and they were startled. No one could stop them.

Changes of their expressions failed to escape from Leng Qingtang's piercing eyes.

Gu Yunxi walked to the bedside and quietly looked at the woman on the couch.

She was straight and her clothes and pants were intact. The skin on her face was cold and gray. Her lips were black and blue. Her wide eyes and other facial features had dark bloodstains.

The icy frost and snow between her eyebrows slowly dissolved and the girl's eyes softened.

Gu Yunxi stretched out her hand slowly and closed the eyes of the woman who didn’t breathe any more.

Suddenly, she found a piece of blood overflowing from the lower body of the dead body and she shouted in shock,

"Look, why is her lower body still bleeding?"

Imperial Doctor Tian strode to the bed with scared eyes which were shining sharply,

"Oh, this is really unlucky. You should leave here first and allow me to deal with this as soon as possible. Don't delay the time."

Leng Qingtang sneered upon hearing this,

"Why, as a doctor, do you also believe in ghosts and gods?"

Imperial Doctor Jiang stood on the bedside and a flash of wisdom flashed in his eyes. He looked around and didn’t speak.

Gu Yunxi turned her head abruptly and looked at Gu Yunjin's corpse with bloody eyes. She said in a low voice,

"Yunjin, what do you want to tell me?"

With the sound of footsteps outside, Ming Lan led the guards into the room. The atmosphere thus became tenser.

He looked around at the crowd and his delicate face with heavy make-up moved slightly. He smiled coldly,

"Yeah, Master Leng is a busy person. Do you actually have time to come here today? At the Spring Banquet, the Eastern Depot's presentation of the map is the highlight and now you still have this leisure time to have fun."

Leng Qingtang rolled his eyes upwards with disdain,

"Why? Did Master Ming receive the news and now make a special trip to send your goddaughter away, right?"

Ming Lan immediately frowned and snorted coldly,

“Stop talking nonsense! When I came, His Majesty had given an oral edict. Since the imperial doctor has verified that the dead person is indeed Concubine Jin, she should immediately be taken out from Weiyan Chamber and buried. You shall not disturb my errands.”

Leng Qingtang sneered and shook his head lightly. He never stopped Ming Lan.

Ming Lan put out his fragrant veil and covered his nose and mouth, walking to the couch. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the bed slightly, frowning in annoyance.

Leaning over to Gu Yunxi, he looked at Gu Yunxi with playful eyes. He said with a sullen smile,

"I want to say that Concubine Jin is not as lucky as you. Okay, don't cry crocodile tears here. If you're really her sister, let her go with peace of mind."

Under Gu Yunxi's angry and tolerant gaze, Ming Lan waved to the female medical officer,

"Come here and transport the body out of the Palace as soon as possible!"

The female medical officer didn't dare to delay and brought a white cloth to cover the corpse. The eunuchs carried it out of the hall.

Before leaving, Leng Qingtang paced slowly to the opposite side of Ming Lan and stared at him.

Being watched by the opponent's sharp gaze, Ming Lan immediately panicked as blue veins stood out on his temples.

He particularly hated being looked at by Leng Qingtang with such cold and contemptuous eyes as Leng Qingtang was tall and strong. Every time he stood on the opposite side of Leng Qingtang, he would feel very uncomfortable as he was shorter than Leng Qingtang.

Ming Lan took a step back and asked sharply with the protection of two guards,

"Leng Qingtang, what do you... you want to do?"

He didn't believe that Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot would still beat him in public, who was also a rank-second official.

He was not afraid, but why did his legs feel so weak that he couldn’t move?

Leng Qingtang smiled indifferently and raised his eyebrows slightly,

"Master Ming, I don't know whether you have ever prepared the key to Meiwu?"

Ming Lan was stunned and slowly straightened his back,

"Oh, are you for this? Leng Qingtang, you are too arrogant. Are you so confident that you can win the bet with me?"

Leng Qingtang smiled and crossed the threshold,

"This time, I will make you admire me from the bottom of your heart."

Walking down the road along the palace road with hands crossed, Leng Qingtang asked in a low voice,

"Huai'an, did you find out something just now?"

Imperial Doctor Jiang replied as he walked,

"Report to Master, Concubine Jin’s death is indeed different. I observed that there were bloodstains in her seven orifices, and the blood was old and her lips were purple. If it is regarded as the symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage, it is reasonable. However, it's just that blood and purple lips can also be symptoms of poisoning. "

Leng Qingtang stopped immediately and everyone following him also stopped.

Gu Yunxi turned pale and said in surprise,

"Master, Yunjin and I grew up together and I never saw her have headaches or chest tightness."

Leng Qingtang frowned, shook his head, and moved on. He said slowly,

"After you went to the Eastern Depot, you were not with her for a long time. It was normal for her to suffer from this disease during the time when she was in the Palace. I am afraid that the only people who know the truth are those who serve her. If she was poisoned, who wanted to kill a concubine who lost favor in the imperial harem?"

Jiang Huaian became serious,

"Master, the answer lies in the pool of blood that Madam Yun found."

Leng Qingtang was stunned, "Could it be that there is something inside?"

Jiang Huaian chuckled bitterly,

"Master, the pool of blood is covered with a large amount of unidentified liquid and it overflowed from the long-dead body. The color is obviously brighter than the blood that oozed from the seven orifices. There is only one exception, that is, pregnancy!"

Everyone's footsteps stopped again.

"Imperial Doctor Jiang, do you mean... Yunjin was pregnant when she was alive?"

Gu Yunxi was shocked and her eyelashes trembled with shock. Her eyes became sharp and she tightly pressed her lips.

Jiang Huaian sighed,

"According to the shape of the corpse, she was pregnant recently. I can speculate that Concubine Jin had an affair with someone during the ban and had this child. At the moment, the restriction of Weiyan Chamber was lifted. She had no other choice but to negotiate with that person, but finally she was murdered. There are also precedents in the medical world. Pregnant women died for a long time but managed to give birth to a child. Like her, the fetus ruptured after death, causing blood and amniotic fluid to mix and be excreted from the body."
