You don’t know if you don’t read. The royal family was shocked after reading the mind.

The second day——

At the fourth watch, Fengxiang Palace is brightly lit.

Xiao Lin calmly let the eunuch beside him help him get dressed, while listening to the report from the person kneeling on the ground.

"An assassin appeared in the capital? And he cut off the feet of Marquis Dingyuan's legitimate son?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, and..."

"And what?" Xiao Lin asked.

"Besides, the young Marquis is no longer humane."

The shock on Xiao Lin's face flashed across his face, and then a strange thought came to his mind.

It couldn't have been the younger son who did it again!

"Your Majesty... I have something to report."

Another little father-in-law stood at the door, looking a little panicked.

Xiao Lin frowned and said, "Say."

"The head of Fengzhiyuan... was killed by an assassin!"

"What? The head of Fengzhiyuan?" Xiao Lin was not very familiar with some positions in the palace.

Fengzhi Garden belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Originally, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs should have made the report, but the emperor was in Fengxiang Palace and it was not convenient for the general manager to come in, so he asked the eunuch to do it for him.

"Go and call the Queen."

Because the incident happened suddenly, Rong Yanran went to the cubicle to wash up and tidy up.

But how could so much happen in one night?

Xiao Lin originally thought it was Xiao Yifeng who did it, but now even people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are in trouble.

The son is not such a person who does not know the rules, and he will definitely not attack anyone in the palace.

Even if you know how to do it, there is a reason.

Xiao Lin, who could hear Xiao Yifeng's thoughts, was not worried at all about his youngest son messing around.

The younger son has no shortcomings except being a little irritating.

After Rong Yanran was dressed neatly, she walked out, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"There's something going on at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You should go handle it." Xiao Lin explained.

He still had to deal with matters at Marquis Dingyuan's family.

Pang Hua had previously suspected that Pang Jun's arm was caused by his younger son. Maybe Yao Zhen would deliberately frame his younger son this time!

That's not okay.

Anyway, he has been dissatisfied with the Yao family for a long time. It would be best if he could use an assassin to make Yao die of rebellion.

If you can't... don't blame him for being rude.

Pang Hua's plan from the beginning was to separate the Ye family from the royal family, and planned that Ye Ruqin and Xiao Yitu would become a pair of enemies, and the Ye family could only be bound to the Pang family.

Later, the plan failed. Pang Jun did not seize the opportunity to propose to marry Ye Ruqin, but instead let Ye Ruqin enter the palace as his concubine.

As long as Ye Ruqin successfully conceives the dragon seed, the relationship between the Ye family and the royal family will be indestructible.

However, Xiao Lin must always be wary of the Ye family's wild ambitions.

Since he decided to treat his wife well, he would not let anyone covet Xiao Yitu's position as prince.

Rong Yanran immediately regained the dignity that a queen should have and said, "I obey the decree."

She just felt puzzled in her heart, what happened to the Ministry of Internal Affairs again?

The Ministry of Internal Affairs was cleaned up before because of the younger son's matter. Why did something happen again?

She left the palace and went to the place where the queen usually held meetings, and saw that the prince was there.

"Tu'er, are you here?"

Xiao Yitu saluted, "My child has seen his mother."

If anything happens in the palace, someone will report it to him.

A chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs died, big or small, but he was still in charge of Fengzhiyuan. He came over to take a look at the situation.

"The body is outside. Mother, please don't look at it."

He was worried that Rong Yanran would be scared.

Rong Yanran nodded, "Have you seen it? How about it? Who was the person who found the body? Did the Ouchi guards find anything?"

"The corpse was killed with one move. He should be a person with strong martial arts skills," Xiao Yitu muttered: "No one has seen the assassin. There is no proof, but it is said that Yan Hao seems to have had a grudge with someone outside recently."

"Have a grudge against someone outside the palace? And then the other party comes to the palace and kills the person?" Rong Yanran said angrily: "This is how the imperial guards protect the palace!"

If one day someone doesn't like the royal family, can they come in quietly and kill them?

Thinking of this, Rong Yanran's hand holding the handkerchief tightened slightly, "Tu'er, what suggestions do you have?"

Xiao Yifeng muttered: "My child guessed that the assassin must have been bribed to die. After the incident was completed, he probably committed suicide."

"Then the clues have been cut off like this?" Rong Yanran said dissatisfied: "It seems that we need to conduct background checks on all officials in the entire palace."

Otherwise, whoever offended someone would be killed by an assassin inexplicably?

This palace is almost like a sieve!

Xiao Yitu agreed: "An investigation should be done. There have been several major purges in the palace recently, and many people with different intentions have been screened out. But I didn't expect that Yan Hao, as the head of Fengzhiyuan, would still gamble outside. He owed a huge gambling debt and had been hiding in the palace without leaving. Finally, his enemies came to visit him."

Rong Yanran blinked and wanted to say, isn't it enough to just pay back the debt? Why take lives?

This makes absolutely no sense.

Did the prince treat her, the queen, as a fool?

In front of others, Rong Yanran did not question, "You just have to be sensible about this matter."

She put on a tired look and told the others to get down.

Only Rong Yanran and Xiao Yitu, mother and son, were left at the scene.

"Honestly, have you found out the truth?"

Xiao Yitu apologized and said, "Mother, the less people know about this, the better. I'm sorry I can't tell you."

Rong Yanran frowned, "I don't even want to say it? What about your father? You and your son are always like this. You only know the secrets! I am not your family!"

She was so angry that I was useless.

It was the first time that Xiao Yitu saw his mother so angry, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "It should be the third brother who did it."

He added: "However, I believe that the third brother must have a reason, so I plan to ask him after he wakes up."

Rong Yanran looked at the sky. At this time, her youngest son should still be sleeping.

Children should sleep more to grow taller.

As soon as she heard that her youngest son might have done it, she said, "The reason you gave just now was so poorly made up and full of flaws. No one would kill another person for money, and hiring dead men is even more impossible."

Xiao Yitu smiled bitterly, "It's true that Yan Hao owes huge gambling debts. As for whether there are other enemies, I will investigate further."

He always felt that the third brother was not the kind of person who took action without aim, and there was definitely a reason for his actions.

He couldn't find any other reason for the moment, so he was just fooling around like this.

"I don't know what Yan Hao did to make Feng Er feel wronged," Rong Yanran was worried. "There are only a few people who can make Feng Er take action."

Xiao Yitu agreed, "Yes, yes."

Yan Hao is in charge of Fengzhiyuan, and all the flowers and plants in the palace are purchased by Fengzhiyuan.

A thought flashed through me.

Xiao Yitu had a surprised and understanding expression on his face.

"Mother, did Fengzhi Garden replace new flower plants for each of our palaces yesterday?"

Is this the reason!

He has read some strange books, saying that some plants can make a person's health worse and worse, or cause hallucinations, etc.

Plants are used for more than just ornamental purposes.

Rong Yanran nodded, "Well, I put it on yesterday, or I gave my permission to change it."

"I think I understand," Xiao Yitu said seriously, "My son, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Rong Yanran: "?"

Hey, you understand, your mother, I don’t understand!
