Zhao Ling looked at Leng Aoshuang's pale little face, and let out a soft breath. She wondered if asking her to dissect the corpse would scare her or not. But there was only one step away from the truth. If they gave up in this way, it would tarnish her professional ethics, and it would also be irresponsible to the deceased.

With the mentality of trying it out, she asked Leng Aoshuang for autopsy.

Leng Aoshuang's eyes widened when he heard the words. She was greatly surprised. As far as she knew, those post-mortems were the work done by the government. The clear and graceful woman in front of her was confident enough to examine her sister's body without changing her face. Would she still have an autopsy?

"Don't Miss Leng want to find out the real cause of death of sister Ling? The outside master Lu is a servant of the Criminal Department. The government would definitely investigate the case of Huayue Palace's kidnapping of scholars and indiscriminate killings of innocents. If it is possible to find out that Leng Gong's sudden change in temperament is another hidden story If they do, the Huayue Palace may be charged."

Zhao Ling was telling the truth. As the court's minister of criminal department, Lu Ziqing was not an ordinary officer. Although the court was different from the arena, it was state-owned and the Huayue Palace committed such crimes under state law. As a law enforcement officer, he must give those innocent scholars who died in vain, fair justice.

"Can I find the real cause of death after dissecting my sister's body?" Leng Aoshuang asked. In her opinion, the dead was the big one, but now she needed determination and courage to watch her sister's body being cut opened.

"I can't guarantee that it would be found after the autopsy, but now it seems that this is the only way." Zhao Ling didn't want to make it difficult for others. After all, she had different concepts and she couldn't force it.

"Okay, I believe you." Leng Aoshuang was not a hypocritical person either. Seeing Zhao Ling so calm and confident, she believed her for no reason. This woman was special, otherwise, how could she only obey her alone.

With Leng Aoshuang's approval, Zhao Ling immediately went to work. Although she didn't wear a medical gown, fortunately, masks, gloves, and scalpels were all readily available, and Situ Gong did the recordings.

As for Leng Aoshuang, she was asked to wait outside. Facing her relatives being cut open by herself, Zhao Ling felt that she might not be able to stomach it.

As a result, only her and Situ Gong were left in the ice room. After a little thought, she decided to invite Lu Ziqing to testify. Among these people, he was the most suitable candidate.

Lu Ziqing entered the ice room and saw Zhao Ling wearing a mask and holding a scalpel. His expression was cold for a while. Guan Wei was like him, and when he thought about it for a while, he knew that the eldest lady of the government office in front of him now was the half-masked Mo Xin he knew before.

"Ms. Zhao is really not easy." Lu Ziqing's face was ugly and his tone was cold. He thought highly of himself, but he was being taken lightly by Zhao Ling. So naturally he wouldn't express a good face.

Zhao Ling knew that Lu Ziqing was not a good liar, and he would definitely find out that he was Mo Xin. But now she didn't have the time to explain it to him. She just briefly explained the situation to him. No matter what his reaction was, she bowed her head and started the autopsy.

Anyway, as the secretary of the criminal ministry, this was his duty, wasn't it?

Lu Ziqing watched Zhao Ling holding a sharp blade and cutting the knife skillfully. Her movements were simple and neat. Although it was not the first time to see her dissecting a corpse, the shock he felt was different after he knew she was a lady.

This was an outstanding work! He sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Also shocked was Situ Gong. As a doctor who has practiced medicine for many years, he thought he was knowledgeable, but now seeing this future princess Xuan in action, he also had to subdue his tolerance and courage. No wonder the prince had a soft spot for her, she was really different from ordinary women.

Zhao Ling was also shocked, because after she opened Leng Xiangning's chest, she discovered that Leng Xiangning actually died because of a heart burst!

Leng Xiangning's heart blood vessels all burst, causing her to vomit blood suddenly and die. But what was it that caused a person's heart and blood vessels to burst suddenly?

"Mind Eclipse!" Situ Gong exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ling turned to Situ Gong and asked, "Mr. Situ is aware of this symptom?"

Situ Gong said with uncertainty: "The subordinates once saw a similar record in an ancient book. Rumor has it that there is a heart-eroding grass in the territory of Beidi, which is extremely poisonous. The people of Beidi respected this grass. Later, somehow Some people in southern Xinjiang took it to refine and cultivate it into a kind of poison to control people's mind. Once the poisoned human wakes up from its control, they would be eroded and die. This is why the mind eroding technique is named."

That said, it made sense. After Leng Aoshuang was hit in the palm of the hand by Leng Xiangning, most of the blood she vomited splashed on her face. Leng Xiangning was awakened by the impact of the blood at that time, and then died of a heart burst due to a poisonous attack.

"It's just recorded in the book that this Mind-Erosion Technique is different from ordinary Gu Poison. It is not controlled by spirit Gu, but it is necessary to take a medicine prepared with Heart-Erosion Herb from time to time to maintain its medicinal properties." Situ Gong again said.

In this way, the reason why Leng Xiangning suddenly changed his temperament and became brutal and bloodthirsty was that he was controlled by this kind of poison.

Mind eclipse!

The name was really appropriate.
