Su Li tilted his head and looked at him, ”Sorry, I went back on my word, I couldn't give you the result of an autopsy. Other than knowing that Liu Yin had strangled himself to death, I couldn't find the reason why she was forced to kill herself.”

Mo Lianjin pursed her lips and did not say a word. The light in her eyes was deep, yet unfocused.

Su Li also didn't want to speak, so he took the needle and thread and started to sew up Liu Yin's head.

When she finished stitching her head, she realized that Mo Lianjin had already left without a word.

”Song Lai, you take a break, I will call you in to collect the grave after I sew it up for Liu Yin.”

”Yes.”

Song Lai left the morgue and helped Liu Yin sew up his abdominal cavity.

After doing everything, she used the rouge and cosmetic powder that Song Lai bought to arrange the two of them, and changed into the wedding clothes sent over by Assistant Minister Mansion.

When Song Lai entered the morgue again, the two's faces had already become serene. He was startled for a moment, then he realized that the rouge and cosmetic powder was actually bought for the corpse by Su Li.

The two of them stood together and sent Liu Yin and Jing An into the coffin.

At noon, Vice Minister Liu and his wife personally came to pick up the coffins. Following which, the corpses in the morgue were picked up one by one by their families.

No one from the Chen Ba family came, but the village chief who took Su Li's silver invited two people to come.

Su Li lay on a bench in the courtyard unhappily. The rod wound on his back was probably about to scab.

Her eyes looked past the walls of Yi Village and landed on the towering palace buildings in the distance.

After Song Lai cleaned up the morgue, he took out a chair and sat beside Su Li.

He followed her gaze and also looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace. His gaze suddenly became cold, and only after a while did it recover.

”Fifth Prince should have entered the palace.”

”Why are you bringing him up just like that?” Su Li retracted his gaze and stared at Song Lai.

”When I went to be the golden hairpin in the morning, I heard the people discussing the Case of Heart Stealing. Their opinion of the Fourth Miss had changed and they wanted to request an order on behalf of the Fourth Miss. They did not want to immerse themselves in the pig cages.”

”There's such a thing?” Su Li pretended to be surprised. Actually, this matter was within her expectations.

”Fifth Prince has most likely entered the palace to plead for Fourth Miss.”

”Him?” Su Li raised his eyebrows, ”It's already good enough that he doesn't mind me, I don't wish for him to speak up for me!”

On the other side.

After Mo Lianjin left the Yi Village, he indeed entered the palace.

When the Eunuch Chen had lured him into the Imperial Study, the Emperor An was sitting behind a huge table with pear blossoms.

Mo Lianjin leaned forward and cupped his hands in greetings, ”This son greets father.”

It was unknown if Emperor An was too engrossed with his paper or if he did it intentionally, but after Mo Lianjin bowed, he did not even raise his head, and did not say a single word.

He did not make a sound, so Mo Lianjin could only maintain his posture of greeting.

After a long while, the Emperor An sighed, ”This case is actually so complicated.”

Emperor An sighed, put down the paper, and looked at Mo Lianjin, ”Ol 'Five, when did you come in? ”Quickly, dispense with the formalities.”

”Thank you, father.” Mo Lianjin stood up straight, the bottomless depths of his eyes hidden extremely well.

”You used such a talented person to break the Case of Heart Stealing and did not disappoint my hopes for you. I am very pleased with you.” Emperor An's hand was pressing down on the paper, and he laughed, ”This time, we will keep you in the capital, and help you manage the Ministry of Justice. Those old fellows shouldn't have any more words to say.”

Mo Lianjin said indifferently, ”As the father has placed a high value on me, I will not disappoint you.”

He had been guarding the border all year round. Since the crown prince's side was independent, he had taken advantage of the situation to be injured. Unsurprisingly, he was recalled back to the capital.

He needed to return to the capital, and the Emperor An needed someone to restrain the crown prince's power.
