2142 Not allowed

For a Memorial to invite second brother to become the heir to the throne to appear at this time, I cant help but be suspicious.

Bai Baozhu revealed all her suspicions.

While she was talking, all the food on the table had been finished and Gu Xin was calmly wiping her mouth.

So, Princess Bao Zhu, you think there is something wrong with the second elder, right? Gu Xin put down her handkerchief and concluded Bai Baozhus words.

I dont know. Bai Baozhu shook her head and was a little confused. maybe someone framed second brother. This person could be s.h.i.+jie or third brother. Because after the investigation, they are the most likely to benefit in the end.

What? Gu Xin was stunned. why would the princess think that?

Your Highness, I dont know whats going on. In any case, the atmosphere in the family changed after her father fell sick and said that he was going to invite the heir for s.h.i.+jie. In the past, we had a very good relations.h.i.+p as siblings. Im ten years older than s.h.i.+jie. When I got married, third brothers daughter was born. My nephews and nephews had a good relations.h.i.+p. After big brother pa.s.sed away, apart from sadness, everyones relations.h.i.+p didnt change. Until father fell sick and talked about the matter of bestowing the t.i.tle of heir, it felt like everyone had changed. Bai Baozhus tears flowed down again.

Princess Baozhu, you think that your brothers and his son are all coveting the crown princes position and doing something in secret, right? Gu Xin said.

Yes, I am. Fathers death is definitely related to one of them. Bai Baozhu insisted on her own idea.

Alright, then Ill have to trouble Princess Bao Zhu to take us to the mourning hall. The one beside me is Zheng Qiu, the coroner of the court of judicial review. There are no grievances in her hands. Gu Xin nodded her head and introduced Zheng Qiu to Bai Baozhu.

Just now, she only heard the second elder introduce the Bai family and not the people around him.

May I ask Your Highness if we need to dissect the body to do the autopsy? Bai Baozhu frowned.

Thats right. If we cant determine the cause of Your Highness death from the surface of the body, we can only dissect it. Gu Xin said.

If I can find the real murderer, Im willing. Its just that my mother and brothers are hesitating. Bai Baozhu is in a difficult position.

Im here on orders. If anyone doesnt cooperate, Ill have to invite them to the prison. Gu Xin said seriously.

Bai Baozhu pursed her lips and did not say anything more.

She brought Gu Xin and the rest to the mourning hall.

The decorations inside the kings residence were different from the outside. Although no one came to offer their condolences, the mourning hall was set up. After walking closer, there was a strong smell of incense, candles, money, and paper.

At this moment, the fourth master Bai, Bai Jiasheng, and his son Bai s.h.i.+qi were guarding the mourning hall. When they saw Bai Baozhu bringing Gu Xin and the rest over, the fourth master Bai stepped forward and bowed, ignoring Bai Baozhu.

Your Highness, did you bring a coroner with you for the autopsy? The fourth master asked directly.

Although Your Highness is a first rank Princess protector of the kingdom, you dont have this authority! We are willing to cooperate with Your Highness to find out the truth of fathers death, but we brothers will never allow anyone to do anything to fathers body. Even if your Highness is a Princess personally conferred by the Emperor and has a n.o.ble status, you cant ignore our wishes and forcefully conduct an autopsy on my fathers body. The fourth master was being very direct with his words. We dont want to.
