Ji Ruyan wasn't one to be threatened easily, so how could she be intimidated by his mere words?
She immediately accepted the edict and left the Imperial Palace.
As long as they didn't ask her to treat Marquis Wande, what was the harm in dissecting corpses all night?
With the gold medallion bestowed by Emperor Xuan in hand, she went straight to the Ministry of Justice's Great Prison and demanded to see those eight corpses, leaving the soldiers no choice but to let her in.
The matter of Ji Ruyan conducting an autopsy was a serious one, so someone quickly rushed to Qinglong Temple to summon Minister of Justice Song Hewen, who returned overnight.
Upon seeing Ji Ruyan and hearing that she wanted to perform an autopsy, Minister of Justice Song Hewen also hurried back without delay.
By the time he returned to the Ministry of Justice's Great Prison, it was already dawn.
Ji Ruyan had already washed her hands and taken out the autopsy tools from her space.
