The palace in the middle of the night was extremely deserted, and a breeze blew, and the guards outside the palace felt a little cold.

Two owls stood in the tree, two pairs of large, round eyes constantly looking around, glowing green in the darkness.

"Ahhhhh In the empty palace, there were several terrible cries of owls, and for a while, an eerie and terrifying aura permeated almost every corner of the place.

"Ah, it scared the hell out of me, what did I think?" A palace maid was startled by the cry of the owl, and her face turned much paler.

"Let's go back quickly, there has been a curfew recently, if you let the old general know that I am still buying you so late outside, we will definitely be punished." The other palace maid walked briskly, her tone very anxious.

If you're still wandering outside after curfew, you're going to get boarded.

"It's not because of the prince, I think it must have been those palace maids who offended His Royal Highness the prince before, so there was an accident, now it's okay, we can't go out, it's annoying." The palace maid hurriedly followed, but this mouth was not idle, and kept complaining.

"Don't say it, the general said it, don't discuss it." The fast-walking palace maid reminded.

The general is not allowed to discuss, but the world is so big, who can block the mouth of Youyou?

"Afraid of what? If you don't say it, I won't say it, who can know? The palace maid pursed her lips and sneered at the timid man: "Ai, you said that the prince will kill people when he is only four years old, and he will have it in the future, and after the emperor passes this country to the prince, won't he be a tyrant." ”

"Shut up, if the prince hears it later, maybe you will be the same as the people before." The previous palace maid snorted hard in the river pool.

The two of them shivered instantly.

In the cold moonlight, the two palace maids were speeding up their steps back to their residences, and the recent successive deaths made them dare not stay here for a moment.

Early the next morning, General Zhong was still sorting out his affairs, and looking at his haggard appearance, he should have not had a good rest all night.

How could he be able to sleep, the continuous incidents of dead people have passed for so long, and no clues have been found.

This made him, a battle-hardened general, feel extremely helpless, and now he also heard some rumors that the matter of the dead had something to do with the crown prince.

But the prince is just a four-year-old, cute and cute child, how can it have anything to do with his precious grandson? Even if you think about it with your toes, it's impossible, but there's no way, who let the rumors outside.

said that the palace maids who had accidents had all seen the prince, and they also met the prince before they died.

My eldest son doesn't know what happened, why did he suddenly get sick, and his eldest daughter-in-law, this day is really a bit annoying.

General Zhong now only hopes that the emperor will return to the palace as soon as possible, govern the country, and manage the palace, which is not something he can do at all.

"General, it's not good, it's an accident again. This time it's two. "General Zhong

's subordinates hurriedly ran in, he was very anxious, there was an accident for several days in a row, not to mention that General Zhong couldn't sleep well, even their Royal Forest Army couldn't sleep well one by one.

This time, General Zhong Lao didn't want to say a word.

He began to walk out on his own, and the subordinate hurriedly followed.

"General, there is a little accident this time, as if those two people did not die in an accident this time, one of them was a little frightened, and there was a trace of blood in the air." The guard followed behind General Zhong and frantically explained the situation at the scene.

These are all evidence that was investigated in advance, and he told General Zhong one by one.

In fact, it was also asked General Zhong to quickly send capable people to investigate this matter clearly, otherwise his entire Imperial Forest Army would work overtime, and he wouldn't even be able to see his wife and children at home, how would he live this day?

"Really?" There was a hint of hope in General Zhong's eyes.

is different from the previous people, does that mean that there is progress in this matter?

Hurry up and take a look, and you must not let go of the clues.

General Zhong immediately rushed to the scene, and soon he discovered what these two palace maids had in common with the previous ones.

They all died by the water, and on the surface they all seemed to die in accidents, but the difference is that this woman is a little scared, it is very likely that she saw something before she died, as for why there is a faint smell of blood.

After a closer look, I found that for some reason, the palace maid's calf was scratched.

"Can you find out what caused this wound?" General Zhong turned his gaze to the man.

And because the previous work was unfavorable, there were two more servants in the palace, so he didn't believe it, and the three of them couldn't see the problem.

"Tell the general that this palace maid's leg injury was caused by a blunt object, and after many studies by the three of us, it has been proved that it was caused by her falling from the bridge."

He knew that he couldn't believe it at all, there were almost ten accidents, could it be that there were so many accidents in this small palace, he had never seen such an existence in his life for so many years.

"General, what we said is the truth, and I hope the general will see it." Inspecting the work of the first palace maid who had an accident, when she saw the eyes of the old general, she couldn't help but beg for mercy.

He was so pitiful that he thought that his ancestors had been working for three generations, and after looking through all the documents left by his ancestors, he still couldn't find any reasonable explanation—except for an accident and suicide.

"Shut up!" General Zhong is annoyed now when he hears that person speak, how can you say there is such a person in the world?

It's useless at all, if it goes on like this, there is no need for him to look at it, as long as a person dies, it would be good to say that it was an accident to commit suicide.

"Yes...... It's ......" His body trembled like a sieve of chaff, and the chick pecked at the rice and nodded.

General Zhong turned his gaze to the other two servants, full of questions.

"General, the result of the two of us is the same as his."

None of them dared to speak, but there was nothing they could do. This kind of thing is really an accident.

But under normal circumstances, it is impossible for so many accidents to occur, which also makes them feel a lot of pressure one by one.

"Get out of here, I'll check this matter myself!" General Zhong Lao made a thorough announcement and drove all the people here away.

It's really a matter of not enough to succeed and more to lose.

General Zhong continued to work here for a day, and the final result was not much different from what he had done, except that he found a small footprint by the pool.

According to the size of the shoe print, it can only be the prince's, yes, but how could the prince come here?

All kinds of doubts lingered in his mind, which made General Zhong want to ask the prince, but he didn't dare to ask the prince.

I can only hold it in my heart, and when I saw the little prince during the day, General Zhong's eyebrows and eyes smiled again, and the slightest doubt that had arisen at night dissipated.

His grandson is so cute and so likely to kill innocents indiscriminately, these evidences must be that person secretly framed his little grandson, in order to divert their attention.

With this explanation, General Zhong continued to talk and laugh with Ning Er, without any suspicion at all.

Secretly, he has been sending someone to investigate this matter, and he must solve it before the emperor returns to the palace.

If you know that your daughter is pregnant again, what if you can't handle it well, what if something happens when your daughter comes back?

"Grandfather, you haven't been in good spirits these days, don't you sleep well, do you want Ning'er to come and beat your back." Ning Er said innocently and looked up at Old General Zhong.

"Oh, I can't help it, you are the prince, you will be the emperor's heat in the future, how can you beat the back of the old minister." General Zhong was really taken aback, for fear that Ning Er would do it now.

"Okay, then I won't beat my back." Ning Er nodded obediently and sat there practicing with peace of mind.

The panic on General Zhong's face slowly dissipated, because he was afraid that it would be bad for the prince to know, so even if this kind of thing happened, he still hid it from the prince and didn't let him know.

After all, this kind of thing is not a good thing, he is still young, and it is not suitable for him to fight and kill.

Bell House.

Zhong Huaining finally woke up.

"What am I doing?" Zhong Huaining rubbed his aching temples, when did he come back, why didn't he have any impression at all.

"You're just too tired, the doctor said you're sick from overwork, and you'll be fine if you take a rest at home." Yu Yin was blowing in front of the bed with a bowl of white porridge.

The last time she fell ill, she was just in a hurry, and she accidentally fainted without paying attention.

But she didn't expect her husband to become ill at such a young age.

It seems that he has to take a good rest in the future, and when Zhong Ling comes back, she still has to take care of the affairs of the Women's College and the Women's Bureau, and her husband can't do it.

"Really?" Zhong Huaining asked rhetorically, why didn't he have any impression of himself before he fainted.

is good, how can he become ill from hard work, and I don't know if my father can handle so many businesses in the palace now.

"Yes, you can just raise it at home for two more days, and if you continue like this, your body will have to collapse." Yu Ying said bitterly, and fed Zhong Huaining porridge here very seriously.

"I'm fine!" Zhong Huaining thought about getting up after taking a few sips.

But how happy Yu Ying is.

"You're not well, give me a good lay!" She was a little angry, the last time he came home without saying a word, he fell down later, and he really had nothing to fear when someone cared?

"I'm really fine, how many days have I been asleep?" Zhong Huaining moved his body slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Two days." Yu Ying looked at her husband and answered truthfully.

"Two days! No, I have to go to the palace to see. Without hesitation, Zhong Huaining immediately got off the bed, put on his shoes and prepared to leave.

"What are you doing in the palace, isn't that what your father is watching? Don't worry anymore, the body is important. "Yu Yingcai is not worried about Zhong Huaining, if something happens on land, what will he do in the future?

"No, we have to go." The previous truth has not been investigated, and he doesn't know what will happen in the palace after sleeping for two days, but he is afraid that his father will not be able to cope with it alone.
