The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1183: Chapter 1179: The Body Was Sent Back Again?

Su Yingxue nodded heavily.

However, after carefully estimating the time, she felt the likelihood of failure was great.

From the moment Xiao Qingyu went to persuade Leng Shuqing in Song Garden to the time Leng Shuqing arrived, and they left the morgue, half an hour had already passed. If they had been prepared to burn the body, by now there wouldn’t be much left of it.

She deeply regretted that she had been preoccupied with the emotional back-and-forth with Chu Yihan and had neglected the case.

She had no choice but to awaken the people who had been knocked out on the ground.

She had Little Ginseng prepare a medicine, and she went from person to person, injecting them with a needle. After she had pricked each one, they slowly began to come around.

Wang Jingzhi was the first to regain consciousness, “This official… has failed in his duties, it is this official’s fault, this official is to blame!”

Su Yingxue stopped him, “Stop apologizing, let’s first check on these people who fainted. Please call the doctor, and let’s wait for the emperor to return to decide everything.”

They waited for two hours, and it was almost dawn.

When Chu Yihan returned, he looked terrible. In his hand, he held some fragments, resembling bone remains, “I chased down several burning sites. The body snatchers are professionals; the body may already have been completely burned.”

A void formed in Su Yingxue’s heart, “I had already anticipated this outcome. Without the body, it will take even more effort to investigate.”

Unless Xiao Hui was out of his mind and came to confess on his own, this case was going to be difficult to handle.

“You should go back and be with Heng’er, and rest for a while. I’ll handle the matters here,” Chu Yihan reassured her, patting Su Yingxue’s shoulder with a look of tenderness in his eyes.

Su Yingxue actually felt even sorrier for Chu Yihan. Both of them had been working on the case without sleep, and though she could go back to rest and be with her son, Chu Yihan could not. He still had to keep working, figuring things out.

But now, she couldn’t drag him down.

She returned to Song Garden, where Mo Qi had been waiting. Seeing her return, he said in a low voice, “Last night, the Crown Prince slept in the tiger’s den.”

Su Yingxue was startled, “Wha… What?”

Mo Qi led her to the rockery, hands spread in helplessness, “The Crown Prince and Shan Bao both refused to sleep on the bed. The Crown Prince didn’t want to leave Shan Bao, and then…”

A child and a tiger had nested together in the rockery for the entire night.

Seeing the little baby, drooling and sucking on his fingers while sleeping on Shan Bao, Su Yingxue massaged her forehead, “A Crown Prince of the realm, what a sin!”

If the civil and military officials were to see this, she, as the empress, would likely be crushed under a mountain of petitions!

Su Yingxue shook them awake, first arousing Shan Bao, and then the little boy.

The groggy child rubbed his eyes, his voice soft and a bit hoarse, and softly called out, “Mama, hug.”

“Alright, hug! Mama will hold you while you sleep!”

With no choice, Su Yingxue carried him back to their room. Shan Bao, in a bad mood from waking up, let out a couple of roars and followed them.

After feeding Chu Heng breakfast, he found something he wanted to play with. With Mo Qi keeping an eye on him, Su Yingxue managed to get maybe a couple of hours of rest.

Exhausted, she fell asleep, and in her drowsiness, it was as if she could feel a burning gaze fixed on her.

But when she suddenly woke up, there was nothing around her.

A foul stench wafted in from outside the door; following the smell, she found a body placed in the courtyard!

It was Wang Weiran’s body!

Su Yingxue was greatly shocked, “Who brought this here?”

“Your Majesty, what’s wrong?” Mo Qi hurried over.
