Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

The next afternoon.

After Leng Yan's personal investigation, the matter of serving tea finally made new progress.

Xinghong, the maid who was in charge of fetching tea cups that day, could not bear the torture and confessed that she had met a maid on the road.

Since she was the one who bumped into the other person and spilled the drink he was holding, she put down the tray and helped clean it up.

She had casually placed the tray on the railing of the corridor, and although the time was short, it was enough for the teacups to be replaced.

The person who switched the items could be the maid who was hit, or someone who had been hiding under the flower stand in the corridor.

There were many maids in Prince Qi's mansion. She didn't know the other person, but she still remembered her appearance and should be able to recognize her if she saw her again.

Leng Yan first asked her to give a detailed description, hoping that it would allow others to identify her, perhaps someone would recognize her, but it turned out to be useless.

Because the other person looked too ordinary and had no special features, and Xinghong's ability to express herself was extremely limited, she failed to grasp the key points.

Leng Yan had no choice but to gather all the maids in Prince Qi's mansion and have them carry Xinghong over for careful identification.

However, she supported her severely tortured body and looked at all the maids, but she did not find the one.

Seeing that Xinghong was breathing out more than breathing in, Leng Yan became anxious, "How many maids are left?"

The housekeeper replied, "There are seven more. Three of them are on normal leave, two are on leave, and the remaining two are for unknown reasons."

Leng Yan just wanted to find Xing Hong while she was still breathing, "Find everyone who hasn't arrived yet, regardless of whether they are dead or alive."

The housekeeper did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and immediately asked someone to bring back the maid who had gone home on leave, and brought back the one who was sick in bed.

After some trouble, Xinghong identified four more people, but the maid was not there. So there were only four people left, two of whom were already on the way.

Only the two people who were neither on leave nor had asked for leave have been missing since then. The housekeeper ordered people to search the entire palace but could not find them.

While they were still waiting, someone noticed that Xinghong was not in good condition and quickly reported, "Master Leng Yan, this maid seems to be dying."

Leng Yan shouted, "Where's the court doctor? Hurry up and save him!"

The court doctor was waiting nearby. He stepped forward and touched her, then shook his head, "Sir, this girl is too seriously injured. I can't save her."

"Damn it!" Leng Yan cursed angrily, "If she dies, who will identify the maid?"

The court doctor was silent, they beat the man into this state, he was not an immortal, how could he save him?

Xinghong's eyes soon closed and she was completely dead. The court doctor was no longer of any use and returned to his own yard.

The others dispersed, and Leng Yan went to the study to report to Chu Xuanhan that he was ready to be replaced.

Chu Xuanhan was furious after hearing this, "Aren't there still a few people left? Continue the interrogation, you must give me an explanation for this matter!"

Leng Yan did not hold out much hope for the subsequent interrogation, "I'm afraid that the person Xinghong saw was not really a maid in the mansion."

There were many guests on the wedding day, and many of them were accompanied by maids. Perhaps Xinghong saw one of them.

If this is really the case, then even if all the maids in Prince Qi's mansion were tortured, the person would not be found.

Not long after, the butler came in person to report, "Master Leng Yan, the other two have returned. Do you want to interrogate them?"

Chu Xuanhan spoke first, "I will personally conduct the trial!"

It’s a pity that even if he personally took part in the battle, he couldn’t get a good result.

The two who came back still distanced themselves from the matter despite being severely punished, and now only the two who are missing are left.

"Those two people might be afraid of being exposed, so they ran away early." Leng Yan was just suspicious and was not sure whether they were traitors.

If he could come to a conclusion so easily, he would not have spent so much time on it. He would have already determined that the two people were traitors.

Chu Xuanhan was furious. "Look for him. I want to find him alive or dead. Even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, you must find him for me."

If someone dares to be a traitor in his house, he will naturally make an example of him to scare others. Otherwise, won't he have to live under surveillance?

***

That night, in the study of Prince Yu’s mansion.

Shuying reported the events at Prince Qi's Mansion, "Prince Qi's Mansion is so lively today, but it's a pity that all the work was in vain..."

After hearing this, Chu Xuanchi raised his hand and pinched his chin, "Who is the mastermind behind this? How could it be so clean?"

Shuying agreed with a smile, "It's not clean, as long as Xinghong dies, no one will be able to recognize the person from that day."

Wuying also said, "Yes, the two people who came back later are highly suspicious, but they may not be the ones. The person who switched the bag also sneaked in that day."

Shuying then continued, "Xinghong's death must have been mysterious. If she had simply said nothing, she might have escaped."

Xinghong was unwilling to confess the matter at first because she knew that once she did, the investigation would continue and she would be implicated more deeply.

Later, she was released because she could not bear the severe punishment any more. However, it became her death warrant. The coincidence of her death was not just due to the injury.

The person behind the scenes would not want her to identify him. As long as no results can be found, it will be a huge threat to Chu Xuanhan.

There is an unknown danger in his house. Although it will not make him live in fear all day long, it is at least a thorn that cannot be removed.

Chu Xuanchi later returned to the main courtyard, and when Mo Zhaohua was giving him acupuncture, he told her about the investigation of Prince Qi's Mansion today.

Mo Zhaohua was a little worried. "If this happens, they will be more cautious when adding people. Can our people still get in?"

Chu Xuanchi was not worried about this. "No problem. We have prepared enough people. There will always be someone who can successfully enter the mansion."

Mo Zhaohua brought the topic back to the topic, "That person's hands are really long enough to not only switch the teacups, but also kill people to silence them."

"There are not many people in Shengjing who have this ability. There are only a few of them. It depends on how he responds next."

Although Chu Xuanchi couldn't guess who it was, the choices were limited, and no matter which one it was, it would be enough to give Chu Xuanhan a headache.

At the same time, in a house.

A figure stood in the darkness.

A dark figure pushed the door open and knelt on one knee, "Master, the matter has been resolved."

The man stood with his hands behind his back, his back to him, and said coldly, "Be clean and don't leave any clues."

The shadow whispered back, "Master, please rest assured. Those who should die are dead, and those who should stay are also left. They can't find them."

The cold voice sounded again, "Don't move this chess piece in the near future. Let others handle the child's affairs to avoid exposure."

"I understand, but Mo Yaohua has just entered the palace, and Prince Qi is on high alert in all aspects. I'm afraid we have to wait for some time before we can take action."

"No rush. It's not the due date yet anyway. It will be fine if the baby can be aborted before the end of the year. If you have nothing else to report, you may leave."

"Yes, master!" The black shadow bowed and walked out of the dim room, never looking up at the person in front of him.

The remaining man slowly turned around, but with his head down, his features could not be seen. He only sneered softly, "Grandson of the Emperor, huh..."
