"This matter is nothing worth inquiring about for you outsiders. The things they want have been destroyed by me long ago."

The concubine in front of her now looked completely different from the one who looked frightened just after the assassination a few days ago. She was even a little too calm.

Lu Wushuang also knew that everyone in this palace had their own way of protecting themselves, and perhaps the concubine also had things she didn't want to say.

"Weichen just wants to know, what exactly did you see that day?"

"That palace maid has been in private contact with the guards who don't know where they came from. But as an old woman, I don't have anything worthy of their plot, so I didn't care."

The concubine put down the tea in her hand and continued.

"They always take advantage of me to meet in private after I fall asleep. In fact, I know all about it."

In this palace, you have to pretend to be stupid occasionally. People who are too smart are always easy to be targeted.

"That day, the palace maid met with the guards as usual. I originally wanted to turn off the lights and go straight to bed, but I didn't expect that the palace maid suddenly had a strange shape, started screaming uncontrollably, and wanted to attack the person in front of me."

"The palace maid should not have any martial arts skills. It should be very easy for the other party to subdue her."

"You don't understand this. When a woman tries her best, four or five men can't hold her back."

After all, the concubine has experienced palace battles, and she naturally understands the potential in women.

If a woman is really hysterical, it will be difficult to control her for a while.

"The man was scratched, and the two started fighting. The man was not ready to silence him, but my good maid suddenly started shouting, and then there was no sound outside."

Lu Wushuang knew that what the Empress Dowager said was true, and she only objectively described what she saw and heard that day.

With this evidence, he actually already knew almost what happened.

Since the concubine heard the sound of silk and bamboo that night, someone else must have heard it in such a big palace.

Without much effort, he found many palace maids and eunuchs who heard the sound of silk and bamboo that night.

But because the sound of the flute was really weird and they heard it near Leng Palace, they never dared to mention it.

After all, when you stay in the palace, you must control your mouth, otherwise your life will be lost at some point.

But after being asked by Lu Wushuang and knowing that there was a murder in the palace, they didn't dare to hide it at all and quickly told everything they knew.

Lu Wushuang thought that things might turn around, so he turned around and went to find the palace maid in the prison.

"That night, it was actually your sister who hurt the person first, and she was actually controlled, right?"

He was the first to express his reasoning while observing the expressions of the people in front of him.

Sure enough, the palace maid's expression changed, but she quickly controlled it.

"Lord Lu, there are some people you cannot afford to offend," the palace maid sneered, and the wounds on her face made her expression look even more ferocious, "Do you dare to go against the prince?"

The palace maid said these words fiercely, but Lu Wushuang became more determined in her thoughts.

The palace maid revealed it intentionally, and Lu Wushuang also took it to heart.

After briefly sorting out the results of his investigation, Lu Wushuang found the emperor. It happened that at this time, Sheng Shiyou was also in the emperor's study and reported about the murder of the Minister of Civil Affairs. Seeing that Sheng Shiyou was still there, Lu Wushuang decided to wait at the door for a while, but the emperor called him in directly.

"We're not outsiders, just tell us directly."

Lu Wushuang glanced at Sheng Shiyou who had been standing beside him. Judging from his expression, it seemed that the other case was not going well either.

"Your Majesty, I have carefully investigated and found that the palace maid was controlled by someone, and it may be a forbidden Miao technique that is strictly prohibited in the palace."

"You mean, someone is using forbidden Miao magic in the palace?"

The emperor really didn't believe it, because he had never seen such a bizarre thing in so many years since the founding emperor completely banned the Miao witchcraft in the palace.

"Wei Chen has sent someone to ask. This is one of the forbidden arts in Miao territory. Many people heard the sound of silk and bamboo that night. The people behind it used this to control the dead man. The maid."

The emperor did not speak, but turned his back, seeming to be thinking.

Seeing that the emperor still didn't understand, Lu Wushuang also knew that his words were empty, so he simply asked someone to bring up the palace maid's body again.

The palace maid had been dead for many days, and her body had been soaked in water and began to emit a foul smell.

Lu Wushuang also knew not to put the body too close to the emperor, so he just placed it far away.

"Your Majesty, there is a wound on the body of this palace maid, which is the wound where the Gu worm broke out after the death of the host."

Although the emperor did not step forward to take a look, Sheng Shiyou became interested. He stepped forward and looked at the wound carefully. Although it was a little blurry because of the water, he still recognized it.

This wound was exactly the same as the one on the dead servant.

She had known that the minister's death was bizarre, but she didn't expect that he died of poison. Sheng Shiyou understood what happened immediately, so he didn't leave in a hurry and continued to watch here.

"So, who does Wushuang think is behind this?"

The emperor did not name him by name, but Lu Wushuang knew very well that looking at the entire capital, there was only one person who had ever intentionally promoted the forbidden arts of Miao territory in the palace and the capital.

"Weak ministers speak lightly, and we should not make rash judgments without evidence."

"Okay, then let Aiqing continue to investigate this matter. As for the forbidden technique, I have a good idea."

The investigation has reached this stage. Lu Wushuang knows almost everything that should be known and should not be known about the things in the palace. Fortunately, the emperor will not silence him because of these things, so he can be considered relieved.

Lu Wushuang, who returned home, finally put his worries into his stomach. Although the emperor still didn't let go, the prince's suspicion could be regarded as cleared.

As for what the emperor thinks, it is beyond his control.

Seeing the relaxed expression on the third brother's face, Lu Youyou also knew that the matter should be resolved.

[As expected of my third brother, he handles things so neatly and neatly. 】

Lu Youyou didn't know how he solved it, but now that everyone in the general's mansion is safe, it is already the best result.

"Things in the palace are really complicated. Fortunately, we were not born into an emperor's family and have such a lovely sister."
