Leng Yu knew that the emperor wanted to ask Xiaozhi something, so he directly replied with his fists:

"When I go back to my father, Xiaozhi's life will be saved for the time being. It is unknown when he will wake up, but Lan'er will do his best to treat him and make Xiaozhi wake up earlier."

Hearing this, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with relief, "It would be great. If Xiaozhihe is cured this time, I will definitely reward Princess Yu."

Luo Lan naturally doesn’t care about the reward. Now everyone hopes that Xiaozhi can wake up as soon as possible.

The ancestor worship ceremony on the first day of the Chinese New Year ended in a hurry, and Leng Yu soon began to investigate the fact that Xiaozhi was strangled and suffocated.

He investigated all the eunuchs and palace maids who were on duty and not on duty that day. After several days of investigation, he finally found several eunuchs and palace maids who had no witnesses around him at that time and could not explain what they were doing when Xiaozhi had an accident.

Outside the thatched cottage where something happened, these people lowered their heads tremblingly and dared not speak.

Leng Yu sat upright in front of the few people, neither asking questions nor letting them speak, so he let them stand.

Suddenly, Xiao Lingzi came to report quickly, "Prince, something happened."

Leng Yu's brows tightened and asked with a serious expression:

"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 ashen.

He said to Xiao Ningzi beside him:

"Look at them, I'll go."

Yan Luo, he led the way in front, Xiao Lingzi and his group followed closely and hurriedly left here.

There were several guards standing here by the pond in the back garden of the palace, and beside them was a body dressed in eunuchs' clothes.

Leng Yu came close with a slight face and asked loudly.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this, a person who looked like an eunuch hurriedly knelt down and replied:

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

"who is he?"

"He is the eunuch A Yuan from the Royal Kitchen. For some reason, he suddenly drowned."

A cold look suddenly appeared in Leng Yu's eyes. For some reason, he vaguely felt that this person must be related to Xiaozhi's affairs.

So he waved his hands to the guards beside him with a cold face and said:

"Go and bring those palace ladies here."

Seeing this, Xiao Lingzi hurriedly ran away with several guards.

After a while, the palace ladies came to Leng Yu tremblingly, knelt on the ground, waiting for him to speak.

Leng Yu looked at the people, raised his hand and pointed to the corpse lying on the ground, and suddenly asked sternly:

"Do you recognize that person?"

These people looked up one after another, and only the two of them replied directly before they could look up:

"I don't recognize it, I don't recognize it."

Hearing this, Leng Yu's face suddenly became cold. He winked at Xiao Lingzi. Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Ningzi stepped forward together, carried the collars of the two people, took them to the corpse, pressed their heads, and questioned coldly.

"You have a good look, do you recognize this person? Let's talk about it after thinking about it. If you dare to tell lies, let your head move."

As soon as Xiao Lingzi finished speaking, one of the little eunuchs suddenly rolled their eyes, fell directly on the body, and fainted.

Seeing this, Xiao Gemini reached out to find his breath and frowned, raised her head and shook her head at Xiao Lingzi, "I'm so brave, I'm dead."

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

"Your Majesty, I can't help but be scared, I'm dead."

Hearing this, Leng Yu's face turned blue, and his handsome eyes were like a cold pool that made people dare not look directly at him.

He pointed at another person violently and questioned, "Since one is scared to death, this one is thrown into the river."

Hearing this, the man was so scared that he peed his pants and kept begging for mercy, "Prince, please spare me, please spare me."

Xiao Ningzi ignored his begging for mercy and directly lifted his collar and prepared to throw it into the pool.

The little eunuch suddenly blurted out,

"I said, I said."

Hearing this, Xiao Ningzi glanced at Leng Yu and threw the man in front of Leng Yu under his instructions.

Condescendingly, looking at the trembling eunuch attached to the ground, Leng Yu raised his voice and asked loudly.

"Tell me! What do you know?"

The little eunuch shivered, pointed at the two dead people with trembling hands, and replied timidly:

"We... the three of us were both doing odd jobs for the imperial kitchen. The night before New Year's Eve, when I went to the cottage, I accidentally heard... and heard them... their conversation."

"What did they say?"

Leng Yu shook his clothes and sat on the chair that Gemini had just moved over, looking 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... to go to the cottage near Baohe Palace to do something. After the matter is done... they will receive a large sum of silver, and someone will send them out of the palace."

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

"Who are they you're talking about? Those two?"

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

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

"Where is that person?"

The little eunuch shook his head in horror, "I don't...I don't know. Since the first day of the junior high school, I...I have never seen him."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came and replied:

"Prince, another male corpse was found there. Like this corpse, it had been soaked in water and lost its human form."

Hearing this, Leng Yu's face suddenly became as dark as an unremovable cloud. He bit his lips, clenched his fists, and replied word by word:

"Come on."

As soon as he finished speaking, the corpse that had just been discovered was carried to everyone. Leng Yu pointed at the corpse and asked the eunuch in front of him:

"Is the other person he?"

The little eunuch shivered and looked up, then nodded heavily, "It's him, let's go to the palace together, he turned into ashes, and I recognize him too."

Hearing his answer, Leng Yu's brows furrowed together. He looked sad and had a deep and unfathomable look in his eyes.

He knew that these two people must have died unexpectedly, but someone was afraid that their mouths would be dishonest and killed them directly to silence them.

The two people who died suddenly were both miscellaneous people in the Imperial kitchen. This matter cannot be separated from the Imperial kitchen, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who is in charge of the Imperial kitchen, cannot be separated from the Imperial kitchen. He must thoroughly investigate this matter.

However, the scared little eunuch was a little unfair.

"Where are you here! Take the body away and send the head of the imperial kitchen to the Shenzheng Department. I will personally interrogate it."
