Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

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

"Returning to the father, Xiaozhi's life is saved for the time being. As for when he will wake up, it is still unknown, but Lan'er will do his best to treat him and try to make Xiaozhi wake up earlier."

Hearing this, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded in relief, "That's good. If Xiao Zhi is cured this time, I will definitely reward Princess Yu well."

Naturally, Luo Lan doesn't care about rewards, and now everyone is pinning on Xiaozhi to wake up as soon as possible.

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

He investigated all the eunuchs and maids who were on duty and not on duty that day. After several days of investigation, he finally found a few eunuchs who had no witnesses around them and could not explain what they were doing when Xiao Zhi had an accident. and court ladies.

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

Leng Yu sat in front of several people, neither asked questions nor asked them to speak, just let them stand like this.

Suddenly, Xiao Lingzi rushed to report, "My lord, something happened."

Leng Yu frowned, and asked solemnly:

"what's up?"

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

He said to Xiao Ningzi beside him:

"Look at them, I will come as I go."

Yan Luo, he led the way, Xiao Lingzi and his party followed closely behind, and hurriedly left here.

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

Leng Yu approached with a livid face and asked loudly,

"what happened?"

Seeing this, a man with the appearance of a eunuch hurriedly knelt down and replied:

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

"Who is he?"

"He is A Yuan, the eunuch of the Imperial Dining Room. For some reason, he suddenly drowned."

A gloomy look suddenly appeared in Leng Yu's eyes. For some reason, he vaguely felt that this person must be related to Xiao Zhi's matter.

So, with a cold face, he raised his voice and waved to the guards around him sharply:

"Go and bring those palace men here."

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

After a while, the palace servants came to Leng Yu tremblingly, knelt down and waited quietly for him to speak.

Leng Yu took a look at these people, raised his finger and pointed to the corpse lying on the ground, and suddenly asked sharply:

"Do you recognize that person?"

These few people looked up one after another, only two of them replied directly before they looked up:

"I don't know, I don't know."

Hearing this, Leng Yu's face suddenly turned cold. He winked at Xiao Lingzi, and Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Ningzi stepped forward together, holding the two men by their collars, and brought them in front of the corpse , holding their heads, and questioning in a cold voice,

"Look carefully, do you recognize this person? Think it over before you speak, if you dare to tell lies, I will let your heads move."

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

Seeing this, the little twins stretched out their hands to probe his breath, frowned, and shook their heads at little Lingzi, "I'm so cowardly, I'm dying."

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

"My lord, I can't help being scared, I'm dead."

Hearing this, Leng Yu's face turned livid immediately, and those handsome eyes were as cold as a lake, making people dare not look directly at them.

He pointed at the other person violently and questioned, "Since one of them has been frightened to death, throw this one directly into the river."

Hearing this, the man was so frightened that he peed on his pants, and kept begging for mercy, "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life."

Xiao Ningzi ignored his begging for mercy, just lifted his collar and was about to throw him into the pool.

The little eunuch suddenly blurted out,

"I said, I said."

Hearing this, Xiao Ningzi took a look at Leng Yu, and threw the man in front of Leng Yu under his instruction.

Looking down at the shivering little eunuch clinging to the ground, Leng Yu raised his voice and asked loudly,

"Tell me! What do you know?"

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

"We... the three of us are servants in the imperial dining room. On the night before New Year's Eve, when I went to the latrine, I overheard... overheard their... their conversation."

"What did they say?"

Leng Yu shook the hem of his clothes, sat on the chair that Xiao Shuangzi had just moved over, and looked 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 asked them...let them go...to do something in the hut near the Palace of Preserving Harmony. ...send them out of the palace."

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

"Who are you talking about? Those two people?"

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

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

"Where is that person?"

The little eunuch shook his head in horror, "I don't... I don't know, since the first day of junior high school, I... I haven't seen him."

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

"My lord, another male corpse was found over there. Just like this corpse, it has been soaked to the point of losing its human shape."

Hearing this, Leng Yu's face suddenly became overcast like a cloud that could not be dispelled. He bit his lip, clenched his fists, and replied word by word:

"Bring it up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the newly discovered corpse was brought to everyone. Leng Yu pointed to the corpse and asked the eunuch in front of him:

"Is the other one him?"

The little eunuch trembled and looked up, then nodded heavily, "Yes...it's him, we entered the palace together, he turned into ashes, I also recognize him."

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

He knew that the death of these two people must not have been accidental, but because someone was afraid that their words would be dishonest, so they directly killed them to silence them.

The two people who died suddenly were both handymen in the Imperial Dining Room. The Imperial Dining Room was inseparable from this matter, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in charge of the Imperial Dining Room was also inseparable. He must thoroughly investigate this matter.

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

"Come here! Take the corpse away, and pass the head of the imperial dining room to the Department of Punishment. This king will interrogate himself."

After leaving these words, he strode away with a solemn expression.
