"Your Majesty is wise. I would never do such a treasonous thing." The Left Prime Minister knelt down first.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial envoys, doctors and others also knelt down.

"Your Majesty is very perceptive."

Xiao Lusheng stood up and said, "Anyone who dares to pass on information to the Ran Mansion will be punished with the entire clan!"

After these words were spoken, no one dared to breathe.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear ministers. Now you can all go." Xiao Lusheng said.

All the ministers expressed their gratitude.

Rong Xun stayed behind and told Xiao Lusheng the true situation of the eunuch, "The thing that the eunuch put in was indeed a poisonous insect."

If he had not known in advance that Yun'er, the princess and others did not eat today's meal, he would not have been so calm.

Su Yun clenched her fists. "How bold! Has even the palace been infiltrated?"

Rong Xun said: "Not necessarily, that person just happened to receive a sum of money, not all the people in the palace are lackeys."

"If that's the case, that's good." Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Lusheng said: "The poisonous insect is definitely related to the Ran Mansion, but who is it that has poisoned us?"

Rong Xun frowned and glanced at Jian Shun, "Manager Jian, what do you think?"

Jian Shun was shocked when his name was called, "Oh, Lord Rong, I don't know. I will never betray the emperor."

"I'm not saying you're betraying the emperor, but I'm asking if you have any suspicions about anyone."

Jian Shun was stunned, thought about it and shook his head.

"Based on the eunuch's facial expression, the person who ordered him must be someone I knew in the past." Rong Xun said calmly, "Before I came to the palace, I had someone check the people around the young eunuch."

Jian Shun said, "I will go and keep an eye on it now, and I will come back with an answer as soon as possible."

Xiao Lusheng waved his hand, "Go quickly."

There are only three people left in the entire imperial study.

"Lord Rong, please take a seat." I don't know how long he can last.

Rong Xun was not polite.

After sitting down, the long wait began.

Su Yun said, "I just told you about the bloodworm man. Isn't that alerting the enemy?"

Xiao Lusheng said: "If you let the line run longer, you may not necessarily catch a big fish, but you can even let a small tree grow into a big tree."

Su Yun: “…”

"This matter is really not simple. First, the children disappeared, and then many strong men disappeared. Later, Qingning discovered that the Ran family bought young girls... These are all linked together."

"There is no doubt that most of the children died, and the men became hosts of bloodworms, but what about the girls?"

Xiao Lusheng could not think of it, “Yu Qi, Shu Ying, and Lin Shi’an, they all took good care of the Ran Mansion, so we didn’t see many girls coming in and out.”

"Among them, the most suspicious one is Ran Man's adopted son, Ran Jincheng. He has a pale face and veins on his forehead. He looks abnormal."

"But Yu Qi and the others followed him and found that he went to Baihua Tower to play all day long, but he just listened to music and was not romantic."

Su Yun asked with a smile, "What does it mean to listen to music but not be romantic?"

"I just went there to listen to music. I didn't even drink anything, let alone cough. Maybe I'm not interested in women."

Su Yun opened her mouth. There are still men in this world who are not interested in women.

Well, not everyone is like Xiao Lusheng, always thinking about that thing in bed.

Rong Xun smiled.

Xiao Lusheng was puzzled, "What is your opinion, Lord Rong? Or did I say something wrong?"

"I am not sure either."

"what for?"

Rong Xun looked at Su Yun, then at Xiao Lusheng, "If the emperor must know..."

"how?"

"Come here."

Xiao Lusheng: "..."

Su Yun protested: "What can't I listen to?" Why are you being so mysterious?

Xiao Lusheng also seemed to be bewitched by Rong Xun.

He actually stood up, walked towards Rong Xun, and then sat on the chair next to Rong Xun.

"Go ahead." Xiao Lusheng leaned over and whispered.

Rong Xun leaned slightly to the side and whispered softly in his ear. The more he whispered, the more gloomy Xiao Lusheng's face became.

Su Yun looked at it and became more and more curious.

Brother Rong clearly protected her in everything, so why didn't he tell her about this?

"nausea!"

Xiao Lusheng slapped the coffee table and felt his whole body numb.

Rong Xun said: "So, for many things, we can't just look at the surface, and Jin Cheng must be the most important part of it."

"We deliberately leaked the news today. We will never let him escape." Xiao Lusheng said.

Rong Xun nodded. Xiao Lusheng's Shadow Guard had already told him about this when they came.

At this time, Lin Shian, Shuying, and Yu Qi had probably already surrounded the Ran Mansion with the Imperial Guards.

"Cough cough..."

Rong Xun couldn't stop coughing twice.

Su Yun hurriedly said, "Why do I feel that your face is getting paler and paler?" It was pale before, but it has only been there for a while.

His complexion was now as white as his hair, almost reflective.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I have always been like this. I just caught a cold recently, so I look a little haggard."

"It's getting cold. Even if you have Ice Toad Gu or Firefly Gu, you still need to remember to put on more clothes."

"Yes."

Seeing that Yun'er cared so much about Rong Xun, Xiao Lusheng felt silently jealous again.

He was jealous, so he had to hold her hand to comfort himself.

Half an hour later.

Jian Shun finally came back, and he said excitedly: "The eunuch's name is Xiao Du. His family is sick and needs money. He has a good relationship with Xiao Kangzi. After Li Juanling died, Xiao Kangzi left the palace and returned to serve the former chief eunuch Xiuyi Gonggong."

"Xiao Kangzi?" Su Yun frowned, not quite remembering this person.

Jian Shun reminded him, "This Xiao Kangzi is the disciple of Xiu Zongguan. When the palace coup happened, Xiao Kangzi was always a step behind in spreading the news, or he couldn't spread the news at all. At that time, people suspected that Xiao Kangzi might not be a good person."

Jian Shun said here.

Su Yun suddenly remembered such a person.

Xiao Lusheng said: "Didn't I ask you to send him away at the beginning?"

"I sent you away. I have been doing odd jobs all these years. Perhaps I saw no chance to climb up, so I took the honor of Chief Steward Xiu and asked to leave the palace to take care of him."

Su Yun said: "It makes sense for him to go and take care of Chief Steward Xiu..."

As she spoke, Su Yun looked at Jian Shun, "But even if Xiao Kangzi and Xiao Du are familiar with each other, it doesn't necessarily mean that it was Xiao Kangzi who ordered it, right?"

Jian Shun's hand holding the whisk trembled, "I went to ask Xiao Du if it was Xiao Kangzi who ordered him to do so. He pointed at his mouth and couldn't speak, but he nodded vigorously, only asking me to say good things for him, so that his family would not be harmed..."

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, when the late emperor was alive, Xiao Kangzi was the only person who could help the late emperor and General Xiu pass messages, but he failed to fulfill his responsibility. There is something wrong with this person."

"Later, he wanted to use the favor of Chief Steward Xiu to become Chief Steward of Yonghua Palace, but the Queen chose Tang An..."

"This petty-minded person is very likely to be used by bad guys, and is also very likely to hold a grudge and conspire with hidden enemies!"
