The Bianjing Female Doctor Has a Melon Eating System

Chapter 11: Out of Prison!

　　Xie Huaichu took in all these undercurrents. He said, "Since the emperor is worried about the damage to the imperial concubine's spirit, then I have another way. I recommend Ji Yutang, a female doctor from the Imperial Hospital, to examine the imperial concubine. She was born into a medical family, and her ancestors once produced the world-famous coroner Ji Feng. She has learned the work of a coroner from her parents, and she is meticulous and gentle in her work. She can examine the imperial concubine without damaging her spirit."

　　"Monsoon? I seem to have heard of it." Li Jie pondered.

　　"He was a famous coroner during the Southern Dynasties. He once performed an autopsy on a concubine of Emperor Wen of Liang in the Southern Dynasties. He did not dismantle the body, but he found out that the concubine was first poisoned to death and then the body was burned to destroy the evidence. He became famous because of this." Xie Huaichu answered without changing his expression.

　　Wang Xuan wanted to refute but was stopped by the ministers. Wei Zheng, the Minister of Justice standing behind him, almost covered his mouth with his hand.

　　"Your Majesty, we think this method is wonderful. I heard that Ji Feng can 'understand' the voices of the dead, and his autopsy technique is unparalleled in the world. He can determine the cause of death without opening the stomach. Since the female doctor Ji Yutang is his descendant, she must have inherited Ji Feng's secret method. Let her do the examination, and there is no need to worry about desecrating the imperial concubine's spirit." Zhao Huaibang spoke sincerely, and all the ministers nodded in unison. Wang Xuan, who had come to his senses, also nodded.

　　"If it does not harm the spirit of the imperial concubine, then the inspection is allowed." Li Jie felt that the name Ji Yutang sounded familiar, and did not associate her with the female doctor whom he ordered to be executed at the Osmanthus Night Banquet.

　　Until Zhao Huaibang flattered him and said, "Thanks to the emperor's kindness and generosity, this female doctor almost lost her life. It was only because the emperor ordered her to be temporarily detained that she was saved. If she knew that the emperor would put her in a good position regardless of past grudges, she would be heartbroken and would die."

　　Li Jie finally came to his senses: "Is it that female doctor?"

　　Xie Huaichu said: "Yes, once the red butterfly marks on the imperial concubine and Cuizhu were found, it was proved that they were the work of the same murderer. And the female doctor Ji Yutang has been imprisoned in the Dali Temple cell for some time, and she has no time and opportunity to commit crimes."

　　Li Jie felt uncomfortable. When he first found out that Concubine Shu had died of poisoning, he was extremely cruel to the female doctor and almost wanted to torture her to death. Could this female doctor still work wholeheartedly for him?

　　Xie Huaichu saw Li Jie's grudge, and he gave Xue Zhong a look, who quickly said, "Although the female doctor has been cleared of suspicion, she is not necessarily completely innocent, and we still cannot let her go easily. Why not let her work by Xue Sizheng's side first, as a way to atone for her crime?"

　　Only then did Li Jie nod.

　　Xie Huaichu was overjoyed and nodded to Xue Zhong gratefully.

　　Not long after, Ji Yutang, who was hotly debated by the ministers, was released.

　　"Really? Can I go home now?" Ji Yutang's face turned red with excitement.

　　Zhang Qing was also happy for her: "Yes, Madam Ji, you can go home. But our Lord Xie said that you should go back to rest and then go to investigate the case with him."
