A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Ning Yue heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, it was good as long as Lian Xin was not looking for trouble.

She had too few people she could use. With just Baili, she could not defeat this large group of people.

She asked again, “Since I’m saving someone, tell me who I will be saving. What’s wrong with that person’s body?”

!!

The embarrassment on the guard’s face became even more obvious when he asked this.

The rescue he mentioned seemed to be different from what Ning Yue understood.

Ning Yue understood that saving people was to treat illnesses and save people, and what he meant was to save a person’s life.

Although the results were the same, the process was different.

It was also because of this process that he did not dare to tell Ning Yue directly.

Looking at him, Ning Yue couldn’t help but frown. “If you don’t say anything, I can’t save this person.”

“It’s fine. Let’s invite the princess to His Highness’s courtyard first,” the guard said.

Ning Yue’s doubts deepened. What was Lian Xin up to?

When she arrived at Lian Xin’s courtyard, Ning Yue understood that this person did not have difficulty breathing at all. He was dead!

Lian Xin’s son had died an unnatural death. The concubine he had brought along had been interrogated by him for a long time, but he could not come to a conclusion.

“You want me to save a dead person?” Ning Yue asked, pointing at her son’s already dark face.

“No, I’ll let you save someone.” As she spoke, Lian Xin pointed at the unconscious woman on the ground.

Beside her was an extremely arrogant woman. She glared at Ning Yue as if she wanted to eat her up.

Ning Yue frowned tightly. “Your Highness, this is your family matter. You can just find an ordinary doctor.”

He also knew that ordinary doctors could wake up unconscious women, but he wanted to know how his son had died.

“I’ve already called the doctor over. I asked you to come because I want you to find the cause of death of the corpse. Of course, money is not a problem. Princess Mingyue, please help,” Lian Xin said sincerely.

His words made Ning Yue panic.

Only Prince Jin’s army knew that she had dissected a corpse, and only a small number of people knew. Why did Lian Xin know? Could there be a traitor in Prince Jin’s army?

At the thought of this, Ning Yue felt even more uneasy. He had reached out too far. Even Prince Jin’s army had been intercepted by him.

Lian Xin knew what Ning Yue was thinking, but he couldn’t care less now. This was his first son. He couldn’t let his son die for no reason.

“Tell me the cause and effect of the matter first,” Ning Yue said.

She didn’t want to dissect the corpse, but seeing Lian Xin like this, she couldn’t leave without doing anything. Forget it. Knowing the cause of death could save a person. There was no need to deny it.

Lian Xin did not say anything. She looked at the arrogant woman. The woman trembled and said, “My name is Pei Wu. I’m Wargod’s consort.”

When Pei Wu mentioned that she was a consort, her voice became heavier, as if she was telling Ning Yue that she was the master of the Wargod’s Residence.

“A year ago, I gave birth to the heir for His Highness. I doted on my son very much. I was worried that the women in the prince’s residence would use dirty methods to hurt my child, so I kept him by my side. I didn’t expect this b*tch to still harm my child!” Pei Wu cried.

Ning Yue rolled her eyes. “Can you get to the point? I don’t want to hear the first few words at all. I just want to know how she killed your son!”

She was not interested in these grudges at all. She just wanted to solve the mystery quickly.

“She strangled my son! The doctor said that my son didn’t look poisoned at all. He suffocated to death!”

Hearing Pei Wu’s words, Ning Yue frowned slightly. Since she knew that she had been strangled to death, what was the point of asking her to come?

Seeing Ning Yue’s frown, Lian Xin quickly said, “This is the problem. If he was strangled to death, there should be marks on his neck, but there are no marks on my son’s neck at all.”

So that was it. Ning Yue opened the first aid kit, picked up a surgical mask and gloves, and put them on. She also took a few scalpels and forceps.
