C13 Resurrection of the Dead

"Hard to say." Sima Hu slowly waved his fan and thoughtfully nodded his head. Now, it seemed that things were getting harder to see through.

"There's going to be a good show, but who is it? To think that you would dare to lay a hand on Sixth Brother, you say … Could it be big brother? " The more Sima Ling thought about it, the more excited he became. Thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible, so he shook his head hesitantly.

"We'll just watch." Sima Hu put away his fan and slowly drank his tea.

Sima Ling squinted his eyes and pondered. The crown prince had not been feeling well all this time. In fact, it was just a decoration. Therefore, the remaining princes were secretly expanding their influence, ready to make a move at any moment.

In terms of power, Sima Qi had the most chance of winning. On the surface, the emperor gave him the most authority. Therefore, no one dared to touch the Sixth Prince on the surface, and he wouldn't make it clear that he was going to win over the court officials. This was something he understood.

However, those courtiers and officials were not idiots. They would try their best to figure out which one had the highest chance of winning.

"… …"

The morgue of Jing Zhao Mansion

With some hesitation, Du Jiuyue lifted the white cloth. Her heart sank, and her hands couldn't help but tremble.

Lily's face was pale and slightly flushed. There was no expression of pain on her face. Her eyes were slightly closed, and her long hair was loose on the pillow. She was stuck to her cheeks in a mess, but without any malevolence.

The two officials stood far away, not daring to step forward. The coroner watched Du Jiuyue's movements without saying a word.

Du Jiuyue frowned as she reached out her hand to test the throat and arteries of Lily's neck. She did not seem surprised. She simply smiled coldly and turned around to look at the two officials. Smiling, she said, "May I trouble the two officials to carry her corpse to the carriage?"

The two officials were surprised for a moment. For a rich family like Du Residence, shouldn't they give them some money so they can bury him? Furthermore, the one who died was only a servant.

Seeing that the two officials were not moving, Du Jiuyue's face darkened. She shouted in a low voice, "Hurry, she's not dead yet. If you delay her, will you be able to bear the consequences?"

"How is he not dead?" The coroner was displeased. "I've already checked for myself. Do you know our profession?" he asked sarcastically.

It was laughable for a young lady from a rich family to dare to doubt her judgement.

"I don't understand, but I know she's not dead." Du Jiuyue shot a cold glance at the man beside her as she spoke with an expressionless face.

While the few of them were in a stalemate, another group came to retrieve their corpses.

When the team of people who came in to collect the corpses saw Du Jiuyue, they were also surprised. Du Jiuyue was dressed like a lady from a rich family. These days, it was unlikely that a rich family's young lady would show up so suddenly. He would never come to the morgue to claim the body.

One of them whispered to the man who came in first, "Pavillion Master Mo, she's the Sixth Princess who was beaten and scolded by the commoners yesterday. I heard that she was soaking in a pig cage and didn't die."

Pavillion Master Mo was dressed in black and looked gentle like a scholar. When he heard the words of the people around him, he couldn't help but frown. He didn't say anything and only looked at Du Jiuyue.

Du Jiuyue casually swept a glance at the newcomers and instructed the two officials, "Take them away."

She didn't want to waste time here with their nonsense. Lily still had her breath, but it was very weak. If you looked at your breath, you'd think you were dead.

"Hold on!" The coroner's face turned red with anger as he angrily said, "You said that she did not die, so why don't you bring her back to life now?"

Of course, he couldn't let Du Jiuyue carry the corpse out and talk nonsense. If that was the case, then how could he, the coroner, continue to stay here?

Du Jiuyue frowned. She wanted to get angry, but seeing the awkward expressions of the two officials, she knew it was impossible to bring them away.

"Alright." With a cold glance, she turned around and clasped her hands together. She extended her right hand into her left sleeve. This ancient sleeve had such an advantage. With the sleeve covering it, she didn't need to worry about being discovered when she fished out items from the jade bracelet. Of course, it had to be something small.

She remembered that there were a few Detoxification Pill in the bracelet. Back then, she had only taken a glance before throwing it in. As for the ancient spiritual pill's miraculous medicine, she still felt that it was too mysterious.

However, she didn't have anything better in her hands now, so she could only give it her all.

Du Jiuyue didn't hesitate and quickly stuffed the pill in her hand into Lily's mouth. Then, she lightly tapped her throat and the spiritual pill entered her esophagus.

Everyone nervously watched Du Jiuyue's every move, including the team that had just come in to retrieve the corpse.

"Looks like he's an antidote master." Someone beside Mr. Mo said in a low voice, looking unblinkingly at Lily's reaction.

They did not come in vain this time. This Qianyan Empire was indeed a crouching tiger and hidden dragon.

The coroner arrogantly raised his head with a look of disdain on his face. He was the most famous coroner in Dongdu. The expressions of the two officials were also very ugly.

Time passed bit by bit. People came to the morgue to identify the body. However, when they heard that Du Jiuyue wanted to save a person who had been dead for a day and night, they all stood outside the door, watching the scene.

Some people recognized Du Jiuyue and started pointing fingers and pointing fingers. The morgue had suddenly become unusually lively, and it was no longer as eerie and frightening as it used to be.

Du Jiuyue turned a blind eye to the crowd's accusations. She quietly stood beside Lily's morgue bed, as if what they were saying had nothing to do with her.

After an unknown amount of time, a middle-aged man pointed at Lily and yelled, "She's alive."

Everyone wanted to surround him in disbelief, but they were stopped by two officials.

From a distance, they saw Lily move her fingers and slowly open her eyes. She seemed to be in a daze for a moment, but what entered her eyes was her young miss. Lily then said excitedly, "Young miss, young miss … "I'm here to look for you too …"

As he was speaking, he started to cry.

"Alright. "You should get off the bed and walk around to see where you feel uncomfortable. If there's nothing else, then let's go back to the residence." Du Jiuyue interrupted her. She didn't want to stay here any longer.

Lily's eyes widened, but her master had ordered her to stay in bed. She didn't dare to eat for a day and a night, so she lay down on the floor as soon as she got out of bed.

"Be careful!" Du Jiuyue rushed forward to support him. Someone held Lily's arm before her and said softly, "It's been too long since she got out of bed. She needs to rest and eat."

The one supporting Lily was that Mr. Mo. Where did he come from? No one knew. At this moment, he was looking at Du Jiuyue with a gentle expression. His voice was as calm as the warm spring sun shining on his body. It sounded more like the sound of flowing water.

"Thank you!" Du Jiuyue nodded her head lightly and held Lily's hand. She looked at the two officials and said, "May I trouble the two officials to help me carry her to the carriage?"

The two officials looked pale, but they didn't dare to refuse. They went up to Lily and supported her before walking out of the carriage. Du Jiuyue followed behind them in a deadpan manner and quickly got into the carriage.

Before anyone could react, the carriage had already left in a cloud of dust.

Seated on Du Residence's carriage, Lily was still feeling dizzy. She said with her mouth agape: "Miss, didn't we die? Could it be that the Underworld and the mortal realm are the same? "
