Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Ying Yufu looked at the Crown Prince with concern and said, "But Xiao Dian, the Crown Prince must be very sad."

She was, after all, his maternal grandmother.

Xiao Dian said, "But if the truth isn't revealed, and Old Madam Hai dies without knowing why, wouldn't that be even more heartbreaking?"

The crown prince was indeed very sad, but upon hearing Xiao Dian's words, his eyes immediately became clearer.

"Father, eldest uncle, second uncle, the cause of my maternal grandmother's death was unclear, and her illness was even more mysterious. Opening the coffin for an autopsy might disturb my maternal grandmother's peace, but if the truth remains unknown and the enemy goes free, my maternal grandmother will probably not be able to rest in peace if she knows this in the afterlife."

Emperor Cangxuan did not speak again, but looked at Hai Qiongyan and Hai Qiongying.

Hai Qiongying's lips trembled as she looked at her elder brother, Hai Qiongyan.

"What is there to hesitate about? You two unfilial sons, only if opening the coffin and examining the body can reveal the cause of your mother's death can she truly find peace."

Hai Taifu's weak voice suddenly came through.

Everyone was startled.

"Father!"

"Father!"

"grandfather!"

The Hai family members all went to the person who spoke, and saw that Grand Tutor Hai was walking out, leaning on a cane, trembling and extremely weak.

"Ah—a ghost—"

Just then, a terrified scream suddenly rang out, threatening to shatter the roof.

The Hai family immediately looked towards the source of the sound and saw Old Madam Duan staring at Grand Tutor Hai with a terrified expression, pointing at him and exclaiming, "A ghost! There's a ghost!"

Hai Qiongying strode forward and shouted, "Shut up! How dare you shout like that in front of His Majesty! Guards, gag her!"

Upon receiving the order, Qianyu Army immediately stepped forward and gagged Old Duan.

Hai Qiongying angrily said, "You still say you didn't harm my father? If you really didn't harm my father, why are you so guilty?"

Only those who do bad things have a guilty conscience. Duan, your last prayer is that you didn't kill my mother, otherwise...

Duan's mouth was covered, and she could only make muffled sounds.

Her eyes darted around in terror, filled with cunning.

Ying Yufu purchased a Star Fruit from the system's discussion platform.

[Ding! Star Fruit purchase successful. 350 points deducted, remaining balance 6840 points.]

[The host successfully prevented Granny Fang from committing suicide for the first time, causing her to expose Duan's crimes. The system rewards 1000 points, and the host's balance is 7840 points!]

Having obtained the Star Fruit, Ying Yufu walked to the Crown Prince's side and said, "Your Highness, do you still remember the Star Fruit? Giving Grand Tutor Hai one will be beneficial to his health..."

"Really? That's wonderful, Fu'er!" The prince feigned surprise.

Seeing that he was so straightforward, Ying Yufu didn't ask any more questions and breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly handed him the Star Fruit.

The Crown Prince took the Star Fruit and walked up to Grand Tutor Hai, saying, "Grandfather, this fruit was brought from overseas by Fu'er. Please eat it quickly, and it will restore your health."

Grand Tutor Hai glanced at the Star Fruit, which seemed to glow. His face filled with astonishment, he said, "This fruit must be extremely precious. I'm not dead yet, so it would be a waste to eat it..."

"Grandfather, this fruit is indeed precious, but your health is even more precious. Only by staying alive can you continue to serve Beixuan. This is something that a single fruit cannot compare to."

Emperor Cangxuan also said, "I have eaten this fruit before, and its effects are excellent. Grand Tutor Hai, I still need you!"

Since even Emperor Cangxuan had spoken up, Grand Tutor Hai had nothing more to say. He looked in Ying Yufu's direction and said, "Then thank you very much, Princess Anguo."

Ying Yufu quickly replied, "You're too kind."

Hai Taifu was overjoyed and immediately took the fruit and began to eat it.

After eating a fruit, Hai Taifu's complexion visibly became much rosier.

He exclaimed in surprise, "This fruit is truly miraculous, Your Majesty! I've only just eaten it, and I already feel much better!"

He looked shocked, then threw his cane to the servant beside him, stood up straight, and strode around the hall a few times. Finally, he took big strides, his legs were agile, and he looked refreshed.

He knelt down with a thud, "Your Majesty, this old minister can still serve you for another twenty years!"

Emperor Cangxuan immediately smiled, "Good, good!"

Hai Taifu stood up from the ground, looked in the direction of Old Duan, his eyes filled with chilling killing intent.

"Duan, if Hua Xiang's death is truly related to you, then I don't care whose mother you are, I will surely kill you!"

Old Mrs. Duan's eyes were filled with fear; she was terrified, truly terrified.

The hatred in Hai Chaoyun's eyes made her tremble with fear.

She couldn't believe it; Hai Chaoyun, who should have died, was not only alive but also healthier than before.

How is that possible?

He was doomed to die from the Chi Fire Gu, so how did he survive?

Grand Tutor Hai turned to Emperor Cangxuan and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to exhume my deceased wife's body and examine it to uncover the truth behind her death."

Emperor Cangxuan had a vague, extremely ominous premonition. His gaze darkened. "Grand Tutor Hai, is this truly the case?"

Grand Tutor Hai knelt down: "Your Majesty, the truth is the truth."

A complex emotion flickered in Emperor Cangxuan's eyes. He glanced at the Crown Prince before looking at Grand Tutor Hai and said, "Very well, it will be as you say."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Beside him, Old Duan's eyes were filled with terror.

She made muffled noises, trying to say something, but couldn't get the words out.

The emperor and the Hai family went to the Hai family cemetery together.

The spies outside tried their best to gather information, but they couldn't get a single useful clue.

After Zhao Daxing and Zhao Chengwang left the mansion, many people tried to approach them, but unexpectedly, two Thousand Feather Army soldiers suddenly appeared and sent them away.

They had absolutely no chance of getting close.

The truth buried at the Hai family cemetery for nearly a decade is about to be revealed at this moment.

Finally, when the innermost coffin was opened, the corpse inside was revealed.

Everyone gasped in shock and took a step back.

The reason was that the person in the coffin was not only not decayed, but also well-preserved; however, the entire body was a deep crimson red, which looked even more terrifying than decay.

Liao Kong's eyes widened. "It's a Chi Fire Gu!"

The child's voice was tender, but it stood out particularly well in the deathly silence.

Liao Kong continued, "According to the records of the Southern Barbarian Gu Techniques, people who die from the Chi Huo Gu will not have their bodies decay after death, and will become assimilated with the Gu."

If the Gu worms are blue when a person dies, then the person's body will be blue after death.

If the worms are crimson red at the time of death, then the person's corpse will also be crimson red after death.

The old lady had been afflicted with the Chi Huo Gu (a type of poisonous insect) for at least ten years before her death, which is why the Gu worms were crimson red.

The atmosphere was deathly silent.

Old Duan was also brought in, his eyes wide with shock as he stared at the empty space.

She understood. This child knew the art of Gu poison. It was him, he was the one who saved Hai Chaoyun.

He not only saved Hai Chaoyun, but he also solved the mystery of Hua Xiang's death.

It's over, everything is over!

But that's not the scariest part.

The scariest thing is—

Old Duan suddenly looked in the direction of Emperor Cangxuan.

And the direction of the Crown Prince.
