Those maintaining order around the hospital are all people of the Prince of Chen. I will leave Feiyan here; if there is any sudden situation, have Feiyan come find me. I will be back shortly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, the Prince of Chen had arranged for personnel to protect her courtyard, and today they were just in time to be deployed to maintain order at the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this incident, He Linger also had an idea of what was going on; she nodded heavily, her eyes filled with determination:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zijin, go ahead with peace of mind, I am here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Jun Zijin finished giving her instructions in a hurry, she took Jun Chengcai and followed the Yamen Runner to the Jingzhao Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Jingzhao Prefecture, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. Three corpses lay quietly on the ground, surrounded by Yamen Runners and onlookers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jingzhao Magistrate, Lord Tian, sat on the main hall with a gloomy expression; seeing Jun Zijin enter, he immediately welcomed her respectfully and said politely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princess, you have finally arrived. These three people died in a miserable state, and their families insist that they died suddenly after taking medicine from the Tong'an Tang Pharmacy, yet the medicine they took was different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Tian followed beside Jun Zijin, explaining the state of the two corpses in detail:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princess, those three all share a common trait: their lips are black, their faces are blue, and their eyes are bulging; these are signs of poisoning. The victims' families insist that before they died, they had no other abnormalities besides taking medicine from Tong'an Tang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zijin frowned slightly and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has the coroner performed an autopsy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Tian wore a bitter expression, as if he had a belly full of grievances to pour out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The coroner has already dissected two of the corpses, but the strange thing is that no poison was found in their stomachs or tracheas; nothing was discovered at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it wasn't a problem with the medicine they took, so why did you ask my sister to come? She isn't a constable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Chengcai said to Lord Tian with a hint of doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Tian hurriedly apologized with a smile, the wrinkles on his face bunching together:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Jun, the Princess has superb medical skills and extensive knowledge, and the people of the capital all know that Tong'an Tang is an industry under the Princess's name. Now that this matter has occurred, if we do not invite you here, it would be hard to convince the public. I hope the Princess can help find the truth; otherwise, there is no telling how many more people might die because of this. Furthermore, these rumors are extremely detrimental to your reputation and that of Tong'an Tang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, what do you think? It isn't a problem with our pharmacy; if we can't help, let's leave. I'd like to see who dares to make things difficult for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Chengcai stood in front of Jun Zijin and glanced at the Magistrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zijin shook her head slightly and said to Jun Chengcai:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. I can give it a try, and it will be a good chance for you to learn dissection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zijin understood that Lord Tian was right; if the cause of this matter was not found, many more people would die because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this person’s intentions were truly vicious; it seemed aimed at her pharmacy, but if not handled well, the hospital would not be able to distance itself either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person behind the hospital was the Emperor; if something went wrong, the Emperor might blame her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That person was playing a good game of chess, but how could she let him have his way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is wonderful, many thanks to the Princess for stepping in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyes of the Jingzhao Magistrate, Lord Tian, who had been crying all along, lit up, and he finally revealed a genuine smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't thank me too early; I can only try my best, after all, I am only a physician.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zijin poured a bucket of cold water on him. To be honest, this was her first time guest-starring as a forensic examiner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Tian did not mind; he was all smiles and dared not be negligent, hurriedly ordering the Yamen Runners to carry the remaining corpse into a clean room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would never dare to let this exalted person go to the gloomy and dirty morgue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone entered the room and the door was about to close, a voice rang out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, wait for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw Chief Physician Guo running all the way, appearing before everyone, panting for breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chief Physician Guo covered in sweat, everyone was stunned; Jun Zijin raised her eyebrows slightly, a flash of doubt in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chief Physician Guo, you are...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zijin was the first to break the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chief Physician Guo took a deep breath, calmed his breathing, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princess, I originally came to ask you a question, and just happened to encounter you performing an autopsy; this is a once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity, let me come in and observe as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chief Physician Guo did not wait for Jun Zijin to answer, and while speaking, he had already squeezed inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of place was the yamen? As an Imperial Physician, he was not supposed to enter casually, but once he was in, there was no way he was coming out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Jun Zijin did not stop him, the Jingzhao Magistrate did not know what to say. Forget it, it was just one more person; if he wanted to watch, let him watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guazi had already brought the instruments, and everything was ready; Jun Zijin had nothing special on her person except for that set of silver-glittering scalpels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet that set of custom-made stainless steel scalpels was enough to make everyone present marvel in wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of blade is this? It is so peculiar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coroner took another step forward, unable to help but ask Jun Zijin; his eyes, fixed on the scalpels, almost popped out of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his set of rusty blades, Princess Qingping’s set of tools could be called a perfect work of art, while his own were simply unwatchable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A scalpel, used specifically for surgery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zijin did not hesitate to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, tsk, tsk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coroner could not help but reach out his hand, wanting to touch the set of tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand was only halfway there when it was gently blocked by Jun Zijin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't touch, these are very sharp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zijin glanced at the somewhat disappointed coroner, then added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once the dissection here is finished, I will give this set of tools to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the coroner’s eyes shone; he thanked her repeatedly and retreated to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zijin first checked the corpse’s ears, nose, and mouth, and finding no abnormalities, she pulled the white cloth down, revealing the bare upper body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zijin put her hands together and bowed three times to the corpse. The dead are to be respected; this was a sign of respect for the deceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after doing all this did Jun Zijin take out the scalpel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used a Y-shaped incision, cutting a Y-shape from the deceased’s sternum to the abdominal cavity, opened the abdominal cavity, and then removed the organs one by one for examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She explained to Jun Chengcai while she dissected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Chengcai’s face looked a bit ugly at first, but he soon calmed down, and he couldn't even bear to blink his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1460,"2026-06-21T03:35:39.629Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","745e0eb0f6f0b24d49e6275bc729d08a4cd1b79782f55d412c6355505dd941c8","the-phoenix-returns-to-rule-the-world-chapter-171","the-phoenix-returns-to-rule-the-world-chapter-169",224,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-phoenix-returns-to-rule-the-world-cover.jpg"]
