After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Xiao Minshen came back from court with a very gloomy face.

Shen Yunjin looked at Xiao Minshen and he didn't say anything until he finished his dinner.

She got up and specially brewed Xiao Minshen's favorite Longjing tea and handed it to him.

"Your Majesty, have you encountered any difficult issues in your official duties?"

Xiao Minshen lay back in the chair, his tone sounding indescribably tired.

"The eldest son of my second brother is dead."

Shen Yunjin was also surprised, "When did this happen?"

"It has been several days, and I just heard the news today."

"Why did he die out of the blue?" Shen Yunjin still had a vague impression of the child. He was a well-behaved boy.

"I heard that the concubine in the mansion poisoned him, causing him to become stupid. Then, somehow, he slipped to the pond to catch fish and fell into the pond and drowned."

"Where is the servant who serves him?"

"The servant said at the time that the child wanted to catch some fish for his mother to eat, and asked the servant to get a basin."

"Since the child is already idiotic, why would all the servants leave?"

Shen Yunjin was very confused. Since the Second Imperial Concubine loved her son so much, there must be more than one servant serving him.

"My second sister-in-law was overwhelmed by grief at the time, and she beat all the servants to death on the spot." Xiao Minshen breathed a sigh of relief.

Does that mean there is no evidence and no way to investigate?

Shen Yunjin also sighed.

"Why did that concubine poison the child?" Shen Yunjin grasped the key point.

"They said he was trying to win favor and seize the throne for his child." Xiao Minshen felt embarrassed when he talked about it.

"Maybe you think the second prince has a chance to become the crown prince, so you do something dirty? But isn't it a little too early? After all..."

Shen Yunjin didn't say the rest.

Xiao Minshen raised his hand and pressed his forehead, "I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

"I always feel that there is an invisible black hand behind the whole thing, controlling everything."

Shen Yunjin walked over, put his hand on Xiao Minshen's face, and gently rubbed his temple.

"It doesn't matter. Even a fox will eventually show its tail. It's just a matter of time."

Xiao Minshen nodded, thought about it, and gave an order.

"Starting tomorrow, I will let Mo Shiyi be with Little Tiger and be his servant."

Mo Shiyi is the youngest of the Mo guards and has just turned ten years old.

"Mo Shiyi's parents were killed, and I picked him up. I just wanted to save his life, but he insisted on pestering me to take him in."

"Because he was too young, I didn't agree at the time. I just made an agreement with him that when he could defeat anyone in the Mozi Army, I would recruit him."

"That kid is really cruel to himself. If others squat in horse stance for one hour, he will squat for two hours. If others practice archery for one hour, he will practice for two hours."

Speaking of this, Xiao Minshen couldn't help but smile with appreciation.

"In the end, he went from being the last challenger of the Mozi Army to the eleventh position."

"Little Tiger is still too young, and there are so many people serving him. It would be a shame for such a good child to be a guard for Little Tiger."

Shen Yunjin felt very distressed after hearing about Eleven's life story.

"He is too young. I still hope that he will not be so violent."

This is also one of Xiao Minshen’s major considerations.

Mo Shiyi is a good candidate. Now he looks more like a man with sword energy outside. Such a person can easily be burdened by hostility.

On the surface, having Xiao Lao Hu serve as a guard is a waste of talent, but in fact, Xiao Minshen wants him to feel the warmth of family affection with Shen Yunjin.

Shen Yunjin is a gentle and virtuous woman, and she can definitely ease Eleven's pain.

In this way, he could restrain his sword energy. Who knows, his future fortune might be higher than Mo Yi's.

Xiao Minshen did not say these words. He just told about Eleven's miserable life story, and that was enough.

Ever since Concubine Li passed away, Xiao Tingyan has been sleeping alone.

When his personal servant offered to accompany him, he drove him out.

He was afraid that when his mother came back to see him, she would be scared away by the servant.

But he was just a kid of a few years old after all, and he wasn't very brave.

Especially recently, he had nightmares every night. He dreamed that his brother was swollen all over and asked him crying why he wanted to hurt him.

That day, he was awakened by a nightmare again.

He sat up and curled up in a corner of the bed, hugging tightly the clothes that Concubine Li had made for him.

At this moment, a white figure in white clothes and disheveled hair flew in from outside the window.

He looked at it and didn't dare to say anything, and the shadow actually floated in from the window.

He asked softly, "Mother, is that you?"

The white shadow turned its head towards Xiao Tingyan's position and made a "hehehe" sound.

Then a child's voice came, "Xiao Tingyan, give me back my life!"

As he spoke, the white shadow stretched out his hands towards Xiao Tingyan and tried to strangle him by the neck.

Xiao Tingyan shrank back in fear and rolled off the bed.

He opened the door barefoot and started running out.

As he ran, he shouted, "There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"

The servant who was resting next door ran out and saw Xiao Tingyan running around in circles in the yard.

"Second Young Master? Second Young Master!" The servant grabbed Xiao Tingyan.

Xiao Tingyan let out a scream and fell straight down.

The servant immediately reported this to the Second Prince, who came over with the doctor in a moment.

The doctor took Xiao Tingyan's pulse and said that he had just been frightened and would be fine after a few days of rest.

After sending the doctor away, the personal servant told the man everything he had seen.

When the Second Prince heard Xiao Tingyan shouting that there was a ghost while walking around in circles in the yard, his brows were furrowed so much that they could pinch a mosquito to death.

He doesn't believe in things like ghosts and gods.

He thought that maybe there were too many things going on in the mansion recently and the child was frightened.

"From today on, you will eat and sleep with the young master, and you cannot leave him even a step! If anything happens to him, you will die." He ordered his personal servant.

The doctor prescribed some sleeping pills, and Xiao Tingyan was quiet for a few days.

That day, Xiao Tingyan felt that he was well again, so he drove the servant out of the room.

The servant didn't dare to leave and just sat at the door and took a nap.

In the middle of the night, he heard crying and shouting again in the room.

He pushed the door hastily, only to find it was locked from the inside.

He had no choice but to bang on the door, and finally he managed to break it open.

At this time, he saw Xiao Tingyan strangling his own neck with his own hands.

He was so scared that his whole body was shaking and he felt the hairs on his back stand on end.

He walked to the bed with trembling legs and pulled Xiao Tingyan's hand.

Unexpectedly, he didn't pull it open at all.

At this time, Xiao Tingyan's face had turned purple, his eyes were slightly bulging, and his mouth was open as if he couldn't breathe.

He made up his mind, picked up the night-scented bucket beside the bed and knocked on it.

Xiao Tingyan fainted, and the hand around his neck loosened.

The servant collapsed on the ground with a look of fear on his face.
