Chapter 233 - Lin Zhou: The Princess Body (1/2)

One of them was brave enough and quickly opened the room wider. The others felt scared by the man's sudden movement... after all, the one who laid inside was a princess... how could commoners like them were allowed to see her dead body? Was this man trying to get all of them into trouble? The crowds started to sweat in fear. Even though they liked to gossip, they also knew their own boundaries.

It was too dangerous to involve themselves to the higher up's business. They looked around in fear and thought to themselves, 'There are a lot of people, surely they wouldn't try to kill these many people, right?'

The ones who were standing the closest to the door was able to see the princess' body clearly. Somehow, the curtain to the inner chamber was opened for a little bit and they saw how peaceful the woman seemed to be. There was no rotten smell at all, but instead, there was sweet alluring smell inside the room. Was this the legendary sweet smell that could attract the buŧŧerflies?

The onlookers sighed in regret. Such a unique smell, but it seemed like it would be gone from history after this.

Some of them, who were more meticulous, could see the details inside the room in a short time and it seemed like there was no sign of being attacked there --- everything was neat and clean. The only thing that was out of place was the corpse and the smell. There was no sign of breathing, judging from how still the body was.

The people started to ask again in loud voices, ”Is she really dead?”

”I don't think so... It looks like that she's peacefully sleeping...”

”But with this commotion, how could someone is able to sleep so soundly ah~?”

”Ah... that's also true...”

The crowds was quite confused. One of them asked Han Er, ”Young Lady, how do you know that the princess is dead ah~? Don't joke around or say such an ominous thing!”

Han Er shook her head while biting her lower lips and feeling wrong. ”I wanted to wake up the princess, but she's not breathing ah~ How could I dare to joke about such an important thing?”

Around this time, General Hu went out of his room and quickly asked, ”What happened?” He pretended that he just woke up with a weak appearance while trying to find out what the commotion was all about.

Han Er quickly kowtowed and said, ”General... the princess is dead. Please... you have to investigate this!” Han Er didn't forget to wail loudly...

General Hu was surprised and he quickly asked his own people to call a physician. Yao Ling was brought by General Hu's subordinates and the onlookers were quite surprised by her appearance.

”Is it really alright to let a woman check on the princess?”

”Is this woman really capable?”

”What can a beauty like her do ah~?”

There were a lot of degrading comments from the mass, after all, it was very rare to see a woman who had great medical skills. Hence, they didn't believe in Yao Ling's skills. Suddenly, an old man came out from the crowd and quickly offered his service. ”I'm a physician. Let me in and check on the princess!” Then, he looked at Yao Ling in disdain, ”Why should you believe in her? Can a woman really do it? Will she be able to examine a corpse?”
