Chapter 275 Dilemma
"Who else knows about this?" The emperor asked after a long silence.

"Wei Chen's wife." Pei Songzhi looked at Su Yihuan and the others, hesitated for a moment before giving it a go.

"I see, you stand down and discuss this matter later." The emperor looked at the three jade pendants in front of him, even as an emperor, he couldn't do whatever he wanted.

He also wanted to find out the truth, but opening the coffin for autopsy was not something he could say.

Having said so much, Pei Songzhi and the others had no choice but to leave first.

The emperor stared at the jade pendant for a long time, hesitating again and again to go to the empress dowager, hoping that she would have an idea, even if he wanted to open the coffin for an autopsy, he would have to pass her test.

In Changle Hall, the emperor asked others to retreat.

The Empress Dowager was confused by his situation, "What happened to the court?"

"Look, Grandmother." The emperor took out the jade pendant and showed it to her.

The Empress Dowager compared the three jade pendants and found nothing special, but suddenly found that they could be combined together, "Can they be combined?"

"Grandmother, do you think this jade pendant is implying something?" the emperor asked again.

Up to now, he still doesn't quite believe Pei Songzhi's conjecture, it's too absurd, and they said they didn't know about it before, so he is also skeptical.

But the incident happened suddenly, Su Yuqing disappeared before he had time to explain everything clearly to them, and the Su family was exiled again, it makes sense that they didn't know about it.

The emperor didn't understand what was wrong with him, and wanted to excuse them.

In a daze, he seemed to hear the Empress Dowager asking him something. The emperor was stunned for a while, but he didn't remember, "What did you just say, grandma?"

"What did they tell you?" The Empress Dowager traced the pattern on the jade pendant, and she already had the answer in her heart, but she wanted to hear his answer.

The emperor looked at the place where the empress dowager's fingertips were resting, his eyes darkened, and he relayed Pei Songzhi's words to her intact, "Grandson thinks what they said is really absurd."

"Zhaoer..." The Empress Dowager murmured as she looked at her grandson.

"Grandmother." The emperor was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was calling himself.

"The former prince..." The empress dowager still felt a tingling pain in her heart when she recalled the past. The pain caused her to shed tears. No one could accept the sudden loss of her son's life whom everyone expected.

"The Ai family can't let him die in an unclear way." The empress dowager wiped her tears after she finished talking about the past, she had already made a decision in her heart, and she wanted to investigate this matter, but the former emperor didn't want to delve into it.

Now this matter was brought up by the Su family again. At that time, Su Yuqing must have found something before she lost her life. God's will, she couldn't just sit idly by.

The emperor knew what the empress dowager meant, but there was no corpse in the coffin, so he didn't dare to think about it, and there were only a handful of people who could do things under the watchful eyes of the public, so he couldn't ignore it.

Thinking about it this way, the emperor couldn't help being in a dilemma.

In the Hou's study, Pei Songzhi was trying to figure out the relationship between the two.

"The emperor hasn't made a statement yet?" Su Nanzhen endured it for a while, and couldn't help asking.

"No, it won't happen in a short while." Pei Songzhi shook his head. Su Yihuan and Su Yixi encountered resistance when they went to fetch the jade pendant. Fortunately, he was on guard so he was safe.

He also wanted to find out who was behind the scenes earlier, but the matter was of great importance, without the emperor's nod, this matter must not be reckless.

"Where did you say the body of the first prince would go if it wasn't in the coffin? Wouldn't it be destroyed by someone?" Su Nanzhen looked around for a moment and asked mysteriously.

"Don't ask any more, don't think about it anymore, especially don't say these things in front of Princess Huairou and the Empress Dowager, no, in front of anyone." Pei San sighed, put down his brush, very serious He said to her very seriously.

"I have my own measure." Su Nanzhen gave him a blank look, and didn't allow her to be curious.

"But didn't you say that you met your grandfather, the old man, did he tell you if he found anything?" Su Nanzhen suddenly remembered something, and asked quickly.

"No, sometimes they can't participate too much in human affairs, and they will be punished. I don't know if he has found other clues, but I believe he may have just discovered the secret of the coffin." Pei Songzhi thought carefully about his old man Every move he made, he soon had an answer, "Now that his Yin life is over, we can take care of the rest."

"If, I mean what if, what if we all guess wrong?" Su Nanzhen was a little apprehensive. No problem, who can afford it.

"It'll be fine. Even if there is, I will stand in front of you and won't let anyone hurt you." Pei Songzhi held her hand and made his promise, a treacherous promise.

"Fool." Su Nanzhen hugged him, and secretly made her promise that she would not let him stand alone in front of her.

They were all anxiously waiting for the emperor's final result.So did Su Yihuan and the others.

Every morning they were waiting for the emperor to announce their thoughts, but they didn't.

Su Niangzi suggested that it was time to go back to Tongzhou.

Su Nanzhen, Pei Songzhi and their uncle discussed it and agreed to let her go back.

Although Madam Su and the others were puzzled, they respected their decision.

In this way, Pei Songzhi thought that the matter would be over, but the emperor secretly summoned him.

He wanted to investigate this matter in private, and if they really guessed it right, he would investigate further. If they were all wrong, he hoped that it was just their guess that was wrong, and he could act as if nothing happened.

The emperor made an excuse to go to the imperial mausoleum to worship because of the draft, accompanied by Pei Songzhi and a few people he trusted.

After entering the imperial mausoleum, Pei Songzhi suddenly regretted it, for fear of seeing something he shouldn't have seen, but he didn't.

The evil spirits in the imperial mausoleum dare not act here.

The emperor's cronies were guarding the outside of the imperial mausoleum, and inside was Pei Songzhi, the emperor and his two guards, and the four of them entered the mausoleum of the former prince together.

After all, it was a mausoleum, even though the person lying inside was the former prince, Pei Songzhi still felt that the place was very dark, but he did not see the soul of the former prince.

Pei Songzhi looked at the coffin, hesitated for a while, then turned to look at the emperor, but didn't dare to make a move.

"Wait." The emperor was also hesitating, and after paying homage to him, he let him open the coffin for an autopsy.

"I..." Pei Songzhi muttered, while apologizing, he followed the various taboos mentioned in the book, and asked the gods from all walks of life to bless him. After all, he managed to live a somewhat normal life, and he didn't want to do it because of this. Unlucky again.

"Hurry up." Seeing his slow movements, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore.

If they have been in for a long time, others will be suspicious.

"You two go over to help." The emperor said to his guards.

Pei Song was startled, and wanted to wipe the sweat off his forehead, but thought that his hand had just touched the coffin and stopped in mid-air.
