After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the cannon fodder family went crazy!

Along the way, Lu Youyou didn't say a word, and Lu Zhiyan and Lu Wushuang also felt a little abnormal.

"It's probably not a coincidence that the Ninth Prince suddenly appeared there today, right?"

Lu Zhiyan was not as familiar as Lu Wushuang and Sheng Shiyou, so he just asked tentatively.

But not only him, but also Lu Wushuang noticed that something was wrong with today's events.

"What a coincidence. The Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince have just arrived at Mengdie Villa, and he came in just when the dispute between the two was at its most intense."

It wasn't that Lu Wushuang couldn't trust Sheng Shiyou, but the feeling of being manipulated was really bad.

If Sheng Shiyou really arranged for people to keep an eye on them everywhere, then he should also know exactly what happened when they went for a walk last night.

"Let's talk about it when we get home. You have to be more careful these days."

Lu Zhiyan always felt that this was a sign of the coming storm, and there might really be a fight between the prince and Sheng Jingxuan.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Lu Youyou didn't speak much and looked depressed. She also felt that she might not be so stable in the future.

Unexpectedly, only a few days later, the first thing to happen was the palace.

Lu Wushuang's face was very tired for two or three days in a row. He almost didn't see anyone at all. Even if he saw someone, he had two dark circles under his eyes. It looked like he had barely slept much recently.

After finally finding time to eat, he started talking.

"There is a death in the palace, and the emperor asked us to investigate within three days."

While Lu Wushuang stuffed rice into his mouth hungrily, he explained the matter briefly and vaguely.

"Don't talk about the palace affairs to anyone else."

Lu Jingyuan still knew the rules. He didn't want his life to be jeopardized by hearing too many things at such an old age.

"It's okay. Now everyone in the capital knows about this."

Just the day before yesterday, a woman wearing palace maid's clothes and covered in blood knelt at the gate of the palace early in the morning.

There were many pedestrians walking on the street at that time, and many people saw it.

Therefore, it is no longer a secret that people died in the palace.

"Palace Maid? Then how did she escape?"

Lin Yuyan also became interested when she heard this. She wanted to see what happened.

"The palace maid was kneeling at the palace gate covered in blood. She said that her twin sister was brutally murdered in the palace. She finally crawled out of the dog hole and left the palace to escape. That's why she came to sue this person. shape."

Lu Wushuang took a sip of soup to calm down.

"What happened was the palace where the concubines lived. It was very close to the Leng Palace, and there was only a wall outside the river."

This can also explain why the palace maid can easily get out of the palace just by drilling into a dog hole. I am afraid that many people usually do this, but they go out too secretly and no one notices.

"It is also taboo for a palace maid to leave the palace without permission. Can the emperor keep her to complain?"

"But the matter has become serious. Now the people in the whole city are staring at this matter. It is impossible for the emperor to order the execution of this palace maid."

[Sure enough, something happened. Could it be the prince? 】

Lu Youyou couldn't figure out what happened based on these few words, so she could only continue to listen. "In order to quell the rumors outside, the emperor asked us to investigate the truth of the matter within three days, but now there are no clues at all."

They were responsible for protecting the emperor, not detectives responsible for investigating the case. They were really not professional.

That's why Lu Wushuang was so busy these days.

"The concubine who lives over there didn't even hear any movement. Is there really a killer who can do this?"

Lu Wushuang was also very curious, and there was no witness, but he actually found a palace maid in the well who was covered in injuries and looked similar to the woman who complained.

For a moment, the emperor didn't know who to trust, so he simply handed over the whole mess to their Yulin Guards.

"No more words, we have to stay on duty tonight."

Before Lu Wushuang could swallow the food in his mouth, he hurriedly picked up the sword beside him and hurried out.

[There is no detailed explanation of this matter here, and I have no clue at all. What should I do? 】

I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Originally, the General’s Mansion was used as cannon fodder to set off the male and female protagonists, and it was also a branch plot. There was no lengthy narrative about them in the murder case in the palace.

Fortunately, Lu Youyou can be sure that no one in the General's Mansion will be harmed in this matter.

The third brother is only doing things within his responsibilities, so there shouldn't be any problems.

But if I remember correctly, this should be a trap Sheng Jingxuan set for the prince.

Could it be that he still couldn't help but want to take action?

Lu Youyou was not sure about telling her family about her speculation, so she could only wait and see how the third brother's investigation went.

The palace maid was sincere, and the emperor couldn't just pretend it didn't happen. It wasn't enough to send someone to check, he had to set a good time.

It’s just that the more I investigate, the more wrong things become...

Originally there was no evidence at all, but the palace maid suddenly remembered some of the assassin's characteristics. Lu Wushuang followed up to check, but unexpectedly found the prince.

In the emperor's study, Lu Wushuang was listing the results of the investigation over the past few days, and even found something in the hand of the dead palace maid.

Although Lu Wushuang thought it was impossible, he still told the truth.

"Are you saying that among the people in the palace, whoever has the marks left by their nails on their hands is the assassin?"

The emperor was also very concerned about what happened this time. After all, it was under his nose. Forget it was about the harem. If it caused a loss of life and involved assassins, he would naturally take it seriously.

"There was some flesh and blood left in the maid's nails. She probably scratched the assassin before she was killed. This is human instinct."

Although the palace maid's sister couldn't survive after knowing this incident, all he could do now was to find out the truth.

"Then this afternoon, I will call all the people serving in the palace."

The emperor also wanted to resolve this matter quickly to prevent the rumors among the people from becoming more and more outrageous.

The emperor asked all the people living in the palace to gather in the garden. Lu Wushuang also checked them one by one. Because he didn't know whether the assassin was a male or a female, he could only find a nun to help him.

While checking the people around the prince, Lu Wushuang suddenly discovered that there were several unusual wounds on a person's arms. They looked very deep, which immediately attracted his attention.
