Leng Yu knew that the emperor wanted to ask about Xiao Zhi, so he directly clenched his fists and replied:

"If you go back to your father, Xiao Zhi's life will be saved for the time being, as for when he will wake up, it is unknown, but Lan Er will try her best to save and fight to let Xiao Zhi wake up earlier."

Hearing this, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction, "That's good, if Xiaozhi is cured this time, I will definitely reward Princess Yu well." ”

Reward, Luo Lan naturally doesn't care, and now everyone is pinning their hopes on Xiaozhi to wake up as soon as possible.

The ancestor worship ceremony on the first day of the new year ended hastily, and Leng Yu soon began to investigate the matter of Xiao Zhi being strangled and suffocated.

He investigated all the eunuchs and palace maids who were on duty and those who were not on duty that day, and after several days of investigation, he finally found out a few eunuchs and palace maids who had no witnesses around them at that time and could not explain what they were doing when Xiaozhi had an accident.

Outside the thatched hut where the accident occurred, these people lowered their heads tremblingly, not daring to speak.

Leng Yu sat in front of several people, neither asking nor letting them speak, just letting them stand.

Suddenly, Xiao Lingzi hurriedly came to report, "Lord Wang, something happened." ”

Leng Yu's brows tightened, and he asked with a solemn face:

"What's the matter?"

The initial domain name

Xiao Lingzi leaned forward, raised his hand to block his mouth, and whispered a few words in his ear, Leng Yu's face suddenly turned blue.

He said to Xiao Ningzi beside him:

"Look at them, I'll come as soon as I go."

As he spoke, he led the way in front, followed by Xiao Lingzi and his party, and left here in a hurry.

By the pond in the back garden of the palace, several guards were standing here, and beside them, lay a corpse dressed in the clothes of a eunuch.

Leng Yutie came to the front with a blushing face and asked loudly,

"What's going on?"

Seeing this, a man who looked like a eunuch hurriedly knelt down and replied:

"Lord Yu, when we were cleaning the lotus pond, we saw this corpse."

"Who is he?"

"He is Ah Yuan, the eunuch of the imperial dining room, and he suddenly drowned for some reason."

A cold gaze suddenly appeared in Leng Yu's eyes, and for some reason, he faintly felt that this person must have something to do with Xiao Zhi.

So, with a cold face, he waved his hand to a few guards around him with a cold face:

"Go and bring those palace people here."

Seeing this, Xiao Lingzi hurriedly ran away with a few guards.

After a while, those palace people came to Leng Yu tremblingly, knelt on the ground one after another, and waited for him to speak.

Leng Yu glanced at these people, raised his hand and pointed to the corpse lying on the ground, and suddenly asked sharply:

"Do you recognize that man?"

These people looked up one after another, but only two of them replied directly without waiting to raise their heads:

"I don't recognize it, I don't recognize it."

Hearing this, Leng Yu's face suddenly turned cold, he glanced at Xiao Lingzi, Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Ningzi stepped forward together, took the collars of these two people, brought them to the corpse, pressed their heads, and asked in a cold voice,

"Take a good look, do you recognize this person? If you dare to tell a lie, let your heads move. ”

As soon as Xiao Lingzi's words fell, one of the little eunuchs suddenly rolled his eyes, fell directly on the body of the corpse, and passed out.

Seeing this, Xiao Shuangzi frowned after reaching out to probe his snort, raised his head and shook his head at Xiao Lingzi, "You are so timid, you have lost your breath." ”

Xiao Lingzi was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly pulled the man up and threw it aside, turned around and said to Leng Yu:

"Lord Wang, I can't help but be scared, I'm dead."

Hearing this, Leng Yu's face suddenly turned blue, and those handsome eyes were like a cold pool, which made people dare not look directly.

He violently pointed at another person and asked, "Since one has been scared to death, this one will be thrown directly into the river." ”

Hearing this, the man was so frightened that he peed his pants, and kept begging for mercy, "The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life." ”

Xiao Ningzi didn't care about his plea for mercy, and directly lifted his collar and prepared to throw it into the pool.

The little eunuch suddenly blurted out,

"I say, I say."

Hearing this, Xiao Ningzi glanced at Leng Yu, and threw the man in front of Leng Yu at his behest.

Condescendingly, looking at the little eunuch who was trembling on the ground, Leng Yu raised his voice and asked loudly,

"Say it! What do you know? ”

The little eunuch trembled, trembling and pointing at the two dead people, and replied timidly:

"We ...... The three of us were all chores in the imperial dining room, and the night before the Chinese New Year's Eve, when I went to the hut, I overheard ...... I heard them...... their conversations. ”

"What did they say?"

Leng Yu shook the hem of his clothes and sat on the chair that Xiao Shuangzi had just moved over, looking at him with anger in his eyes.

The little eunuch didn't dare to raise his head, and replied with all his strength:

"Say...... They said that someone told them to ...... Let them go...... Go to the thatched house near the Bohol Hall to do one thing, and after the thing is done...... When it is done, they will receive a large sum of silver, and someone will give it to them...... Send them out of the palace. ”

Leng Yu's brows tightened, and his voice became extremely sharp at this time.

"Who are they talking about? Those two people? ”

The little eunuch lowered his head and replied in a trembling voice:

"No, the one who died in the lotus pond and another person."

"Where's that guy?"

The little eunuch shook his head in horror, "I don't ...... I don't know, since the beginning of junior high school, I ...... I never saw him. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly came over and said:

"Lord Wang, another male corpse was found over there, and like this corpse, it has been blistered and lost its human form."

Hearing this, Leng Yu's face suddenly turned cloudy like a cloud that could not be removed, he bit his lip, clenched his fists, and replied word by word:

"Bring it here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the corpse that had just been found was carried in front of everyone, Leng Yu pointed to the corpse, and asked the eunuch in front of him:

"Is the other one him?"

The little eunuch looked up with a shudder, and then nodded heavily, "Yes...... It was him, we went into the palace together, he turned to ashes, and I knew him. ”

Hearing his answer, Leng Yu's brows suddenly knotted together, his expression was sad, and there was a deep and unfathomable gaze in his eyes.

He knew that these two people must not have died accidentally, but someone was afraid that their mouths would be dishonest, so they directly killed them.

The two people who died suddenly were all miscellaneous people in the imperial dining room, and the imperial dining room couldn't get out of this matter, and the internal affairs office in charge of the imperial dining room couldn't get rid of it, and he had to investigate this matter thoroughly.

It's just that the little eunuch who was scared to death was a little wronged.

"Someone! The corpse was carried away, and the head of the imperial dining room was sent to the Punishment Division, and the king was to be interrogated himself. ”

Leaving these words, he strode away with a solemn face.
