This cliff is not high, and there is almost flat ground below. Even the woods are not dense. Li Yi and his people quickly found the place where the person fell.

"My lord!"

The guards around him ran forward first, and one of them opened the body of the man in black, looked back with a strange expression, stood up and stood aside, and the disappointed face of the man in black was clearly revealed.

He was hit face down on a sharp stone, and his entire face was almost penetrated, making it difficult to see any features on his face. The body was stained with red, yellow, white, and unknown liquid.

Several people nearby were retching uncontrollably.

Li Yi's forehead jumped and he immediately ran towards Fu Yao who was standing aside.

"My lord!"

Just as he was about to turn Fu Yao over, the guard behind him yelled with a strange expression.

Li Yi looked back, and the guard motioned for Li Yi to look.

They saw that Fu Yao was also face down, and it happened to be hit by a huge sharp stone. You didn't need to open it to know that Brother Zheng revealed that he had almost been penetrated.

"..."

Li Yi's stretched out hand even trembled a little.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned Fu Yao's body over.

As expected, he looked almost exactly like the man in black.

Li Yi suddenly took a breath of cold air.

"My lord."

At this moment, the guard beside him suddenly came over and motioned Li Yi to look around.

Li Yi first asked someone to come forward and take him back, carefully covering Fu Yao's face with a cloth. He even swayed when he stood up.

When Fu Yao was pushed off the cliff, I vomited blood. If Fu Yao with such a face was taken back, I don't know what would happen.

Thinking of this, Li Yi was silent for a moment, stopped the two guards, and said: "Take the person back to the palace to settle him properly. Don't notify the palace and the Prime Minister's Palace yet. Ask Li Rong to go there first."

Fu Yao died with such a tragic face. Not only his brother, but also the Fu family could not bear it.

Prime Minister Fu is still running around the court, and he probably doesn't even know the news about Fu Yao's disappearance. If he suddenly knew that he had died after taking medicine and it was so tragic, I'm afraid...

"Yes."

Li Yi saw Fu Yao and the man in black being carefully lifted up and taken away, and then he looked at the guard who had just spoken.

The guard also reacted quickly, looked around and said: "Your Majesty, the terrain here is flat, and the stones on the ground are almost all broken stones. But look at the two stones they just dropped and hit. They are huge, sharp, and just right." There were only these two rocks next to each other in a large area, and they just hit it."

Li Yi narrowed his eyes and followed the guard's line of sight for a moment, then looked at the two sharp rocks in front of him that were stained with blood. He was silent for a moment and looked at the guard: "You mean, these two stones were deliberately placed. Here?"

"Yes."

The guard nodded and said again: "My lord, if you and the emperor are both concerned, you will be in chaos, but you should calm down and think about it carefully, the empress has already had her throat cut off on the cliff, and if she falls off the cliff, the chance of surviving is very slim. If someone intentionally puts two such stones here, then the purpose is not to kill someone, but more like... to deliberately destroy the appearance of two people, making it impossible for people to recognize each other." Li Yi followed the guard's words and looked at the man again. Two stones, they quickly reacted.

"You stay here and continue to search the surrounding area to see if you can find any clues."

He wanted to go back and take a closer look to see if there was anything wrong with those two corpses!

As soon as the two corpses were placed in the palace, Li Yi rushed back. He asked the people in the palace not to reveal the news for the time being, and called a co-worker to go with him to check the corpses.

At the same time, Li Rong, who was still searching in the city, was stopped by the palace guards.

"Sir, our prince invites you to come to my house to discuss some matters."

"Now?"

"Even now, please come with me right now. It is a very important matter. It concerns the Emperor and the Queen."

When the guard said this, Li Rong did not dare to neglect, and immediately went to Jiu'an Palace with the guard. As soon as he entered, he was taken to a main room by the guard. There were more than a dozen guards guarding the outside. Li Rong stood at the door and hesitated. Just went in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw two corpses placed in the center. Li Yi was standing on one side, and Fu Zuo was lifting the white cloth covering one of the corpses.

Seeing the face that was a blur of rotten flesh, Li Rong felt a feeling of nausea and vomiting rushing into his mind. He endured it again and again before he could hold it back. He walked to Li Yi with a pale face. Before he could speak, he saw that Familiar clothes on the body.

Li Rong pointed at the corpse in shock: "This!"

"Logically speaking, this corpse should be that of a younger brother and sister."

Li Yi looked at Li Rong with a serious expression. Liu Rong slowly retracted his outstretched hand and looked at the body again. He had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he said with a complicated expression after a while.

"how so?"

"When I rushed over, my brother and sister were being kidnapped and killed and they fell off the cliff together. The emperor stopped being stimulated. Maybe it was because of the lingering poison that he had before. He vomited blood and fell into coma again. I sent people to search under the cliff and found these two One corpse, and the other corpse belongs to the man in black who held his younger brother and sister hostage."

"They just hit two sharp stones together, so their faces are blurred and cannot be distinguished. I think that although this person has the same body shape and the same clothes as the younger siblings, he may not be the younger siblings."

As soon as Li Rong raised his eyes and saw the corpse with a blurry face that made people vomit, he immediately looked away. Hearing Li Yi's words, Li Rong looked over in confusion.

Li Yi continued: "The man in black who kidnapped his younger siblings didn't ask for anything. After attracting the emperor, he directly killed his younger siblings and took them with him off the cliff, destroying their recognizable appearance. All this is more like..."

"It's more like a deliberate design to irritate the emperor." Li Rong took over Li Yi's words and was quite confused: "But if they want to irritate the emperor, wouldn't it be more effective if they directly bring the empress? If they use a fake one, even if Even if the face is ruined, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is 100% unrecognizable.”

"Another point."

Li Yi just spoke. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wu Zuo stand up. He looked over with questioning eyes, and Wu Zuo shook his head.

Li Yi waved his hand and let the two go out, then continued: "We immediately sealed the city gate after finding out the news that the brothers and sisters were missing. The time mentioned by the city gate guards did not match up. They should not be able to send the brothers and sisters out of the city. It is very possible He took off the clothes and jewelry that could prove his identity and put them on another person to pretend to be the younger brother and sister to stimulate the emperor."

Li Rong nodded slowly, then looked at Li Yi again.

"If this person is not the queen, then there is another possibility."
