Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 493

In the afternoon, just after Yun Shang had lunch, Li Qianmo came in and whispered, "master, the corpse of Lady Rui has entered the city. I am going to bring the coroners into the palace to make an autopsy. Will you go with me?"

Yun Shang nodded her head, "since you are going to examine my body, of course I'll go." Then she asked Qian Yin to call her secret guards here to help her disguise her appearance. Yun Shang looked at herself in the bronze mirror and found that there was something wrong with her eyes. But if she was going to pretend to be Li Qianmo's servant, she could just lowered her head. That would be all right.

Yun Shang asked Qian Yin to polish Qian Yin's hand and tie her feet with a pair of large shoes. Then she nodded her head to Li Qianmo and said, "let's go."

As Li Qianmo and Yun Shang walked out of the courtyard, they saw two coroners waiting by the side, and both of the coroners had a cloth bag on their back. Seeing that Yun Shang was following Li Qianmo, they handed the two bags to Yun Shang naturally. Li Qianmo couldn't help but frown, but Yun Shang took it quickly and made eye contact with him, indicating that she didn't mind. Li Qianmo coughed to cover his mouth and pretended to be calm.

Li Qianmo got on the carriage, and Yun Shang and the two coroners followed behind the carriage. Yun Shang saw Li Qianmo poke his head out of the window several times along the way and look at her from time to time. Yun Shang knew that Li Qianmo was worried about her. After all, she was from a royal family that she seldom walked like this.

She wanted to find an opportunity to remind Li Qianmo that as she had disguised herself, Li Qianmo should only treat her as a servant. If he continued to behave like this in the palace, she would be recognized sooner or later.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Imperial Palace, Yun Shang walked forward and helped Li Qianmo get off the carriage. She whispered her requirements to Li Qianmo's ear, and Li Qianmo responded yes in a hurry. As they entered the Imperial Palace, he no longer paid any attention to Yun Shang just as she wanted.

The corpse of the fake Lady Rui was placed in the meeting hall. When Yun Shang and Li Qianmo entered, they smelled a pungent odor of the corpse. There were many people in the hall, including Su Qi, the seventh prince, Lady Hua Guo and the butler of Prince Rui's mansion.

Li Qianmo curtsied to Xia Huanyu. After he drew himself together, he said to Li Qianmo with a frown, "let the coroners have a look. See if the body is really Lady Rui or not."

Li Qianmo answered and turned to the two coroners. The two coroners rushed towards the coffins, followed by Yun Shang, unwrapped the two cloth bags, and opened them in front of everyone. There were all kinds of tools, including tweezers, sticks, silver needles, and some thing that Yun Shang couldn't name.

The two coroners took their tools and started to prepare the examination. Yun Shang stood up and looked at the corpse in the coffin.
