The Crown Prince also shook his head. In the law of this dynasty, there was never a requirement that an autopsy must be performed after death. The pretense is often to rely on preliminary visual inspection and physical witness evidence to determine the cause of death of the deceased. If the entire body is to be dissected, it is really too much to request.

He slowly said, "Anping Xianzhu, I'm afraid this will not work."

Jiang Lan also hurriedly said, "Anping Xianzhu, you just want to find a scapegoat for yourself. Why did you make such a vicious idea that my grandmother's corpse should be dissected, which will make her restless, how could you make such an excessive request!"

With a voice of opposition, Li Wei Yang and Li Min De looked at each other from the bottom of each other's eyes. The Jiang family's response was already what they expected.

Li Chang Le cried out loudly: "Maternal Grandmother, your death is so tragic! Those who harm you didn't only just kill you but also want to slaughter your body! Even with your spirit, you must guide us to catch the murderer."

It can be said that Li Wei Yang was the only one who has ever touched the jujubes and she was also the only enemy of the Duke's Furen. Many officials and nobles that were present looked at the girl with horror. But she was only a fifteen years-old girl. She even poisoned and killed her maternal grandmother. Well, even if this maternal grandmother has no relations to her, she is just an old woman. It is too vicious to kill her! Only Sun Yan Jun, although pulled away by her mother, Sun Furen, still looked at Li Wei Yang with a worried and concerned look.

Li Wei Yang slowly said, "Oh? Is it me who is proposing to find the murderer for this grandmother? Is it vicious? Or are you guys who say that you respect her very much and even now that she dies, she should not know the truth? Do you not fear that your maternal grandmother in the afterlife would blame you for being indifferent and unkind?

Jiang Hai was furious: "Li Wei Yang, you are full of bullshit!"

Jiang Hua stopped him suddenly and said indifferently, "Anping Xianzhu, we need to discuss this matter carefully. So, after half an hour, we will give you an answer here." For the first time, Li Wei Yang took a glance at the third son of the Jiangs. His calmness and demeanor far surpassed his elder brother, and of course he surpassed the fourth son Jiang Nan. Her eyes gradually sneered: "Of course."

Jiang Hua suddenly said: "Chang Le is the grandmother's beloved granddaughter. We also want to hear her opinions on this matter. Can you let Chang Le enter the room? She has already been checked. She doesn't have any poison on her."

This, of course, was asked for Li Wei Yang. Hearing this sentence, Li Wei Yang's eyes flashed, but she just said, "Please."

She originally thought that Li Chang Le poisoned the Duke's Furen, but if that was the case, Li Chang Le shouldn't have had a chance to throw away the poison but why weren't the people able to find it just now? Those Crown Princess' Mamas were very experienced in this area. Li Wei Yang can't help doubting that since she was cleared of suspicions, it means that the poison was not with her anymore. So how did she poison them? Or did the Duke's Furen take the poison that would slowly take effect? It wasn't the plate of jujubes that really poisoned her? The only thing Li Wei Yang was sure of was that when she thought of what Duke's Furen said when Jiang Hua was about to leave. Now that she thinks of it, did it mean an actual farewell?

Farewell to her beloved grandson, this only shows that the Duke's Furen knows that her life will soon end. At this point, Li Wei Yang was also very sure at first but today the Duke's Furen appeared with a rosy cheek, steady tone and full of vitality. She almost thought that she was wrong. The Duke's Furen must know that she was going to die soon! So, was she taking the drug herself or was Li Chang Le poisoning her? Or are they conspiring? But will the Duke's Furen use such a stupid method to frame herself? Li Wei Yang lowered her eyes. She really wanted to know the answer.

After entering the room, Jiang Hua had suddenly darkened with cold light eyes. He coldly gave Li Chang Le a slap, almost distorting half of her face, and then shouted to her, "It's you who did it, right?"

Li Chang Le was startled and stunned. Then, his next question seemed to be an understatement yet it instantly broke her calm appearance, exposing her heart filled with panic and fear, directly to the people in the room. Her face suddenly became extremely difficult. This fear has been on her mind since the death of the Duke's Furen but she has been trying to hide it. She thought that the Jiangs' men wouldn't find out, but she didn't expect that Jiang Hua would immediately bring up the main subject.

At this time, Jiang Hua was no longer a smart and gentle cousin in her impression. He looked coldly at her face. In his eyes, there were no traces of affection. Li Chang Le was shocked and the other party revealed, in the garden pavilion, that their closeness was simply an illusion. In his eyes, there was nothing! The calmness on Li Chang Le's face was gone. Instead, she was overwhelmed and her face became increasingly white: "I don't know what you're talking about!"

The light of noon passed through the lattice windows, reflecting the dust flying. The look on Jiang Hua's face became colder and even began to blur, making people dare not look at him.

Jiang Xu frowned: "Hua er, what are you talking about?"

Li Chang Le seemed to have found a savior and immediately said, "Uncle, look at what he is doing! The real killer is out there but he is busy putting blame on me!"

Jiang Hua coldly said: "Shut up!"

Li Chang Le trembled when she heard the sound, her scattered breathing became heavy and rapid and her expression became extremely frightened.

Jiang Xu and Jiang Hai looked more and more dignified, and couldn't help but ask "Old Three, can you find out who poisoned our grandmother?" They still don't understand what that slap represented, not because they were stupid, but because Li Chang Le was the most beloved grandchild of the Duke's Furen, how could she participate in this murder? They refused to believe it.

Li Chang Le's face became increasingly frightened.

Jiang Hua let out a cold laugh, gave Li Chang Le a warning, and decided in his heart to recalculate the account, but said: "The focus is not on who did the poisoning but on whom we want to be the one behind the poisoning."

Jiang Hai puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand yet?" Jiang Xu groaned. "It doesn't matter who the real poisoner is now! What matters is what we can get from this!"

Jiang Hai shook his head and whispered, "Father, do you mean that we must frame this on Li Wei Yang?!"

Jiang Xu did not speak, but Jiang Hua sneered: "More than that! Do you know what is the situation with the Jiangs today?"

Jiang Hai gave a sigh, Jiang Hua sighed slowly, and said: "It is well known that the Lis sided with the Emperor during his ascension of the throne and contributed greatly to the Emperor's victory. And the Jiangs had remained neutral from the beginning to the end." These words, like a hand, opened the past and slowly wiped out the chaos in front of him. Li Chang Le was taken aback but felt that as if something she could not understand began to surface, every texture was becoming very clear.

"For so many years, the Lis has been avoiding the princes' fight for the throne and no one dared to force them to choose a side. This is because the Emperor was protecting them. In the future, Li Xiao Ran will be left to the next generation of emperors. Although Li Xiao Ran is a person who attaches great importance to power and is afraid of death, the Jiangs all have to admit that he has an upper hand in governing the country. However, in the matter of the Emperor ascending the throne, the Jiangs did not make the same contributions as the Lis. Therefore, although the Emperor later continued to appoint his grandfather, in His Majesty's heart, he had long been suspicious of the Jiangs. However, after all, the Jiangs was considered a founding family. And since they did not support any prince, they were regarded as lone officials so the Emperor didn't really treat the Jiangs badly. All these years, his grandfather has been cautious and diligent, for fear of being caught by the pigtail. But no matter how careful they were, they still left behind evidence. This time the incident of Fourth Brother has already made His Majesty very angry and his severe punishment has given us a very clear warning! He is telling us that if there is a little bit of indifference, Fourth Brother's ending is the ending of the entire Jiang family!"
