But... I told him the location, why didn't he come back? Could it be that he was still acting out a complete show, searching other places first, and then looking for evidence?

But in fact, the leader of the team did not want to waste any more time. After he led his men into Prince Yong's Mansion, he gathered everyone in the mansion together and led them straight to the courtyard assigned by the master.

But there was no trace of the things that were supposed to appear in the yard, which led him to wonder if he had remembered it wrong.

So, he wasted a day just to find the thing.

But even so, it still didn't happen.

How could there not be!

After hearing the report from the leader of the team going to Prince Yong's Mansion, a look of horror flashed across Yinsi's eyes.

In order to avoid being noticed by others, he had to keep a straight face and pretend that he didn't care.

Forget it, no matter which link the problem occurs, we have to go back and discuss this matter first.

Now we are just waiting for the team that went to his house to come back, and this farce will be over. It's a pity for Jin Dayan that he didn't find anything this time, and he is afraid that he will be demoted.

The reversal came quickly——

An incense stick later, the team that went to the Eighth Prince's Mansion returned, and the leader was holding an inconspicuous pure black package in his hand.

!!!

Yinsi and Yinlu looked at each other and could see fear and confusion in each other's eyes.

how so! ! !

It shouldn't be like this!

Yinsi's brows were tightly knitted, and sure enough, the next moment, the leader knelt on the ground and mentioned the pure black package when reporting the search results to Kangxi.

"Your Majesty, this package was found in the residence of the Eighth Prince. Inside is a willow box soaked in blood. The items in the box are even more bizarre."

Mentioning this, his fingers holding the box were trembling slightly, not to mention the pressure he felt in his heart when he brought it back.

"Is it at Old Eight's house? Where is it?"

Kangxi suddenly opened his eyes, and his inquiring gaze flew straight to where Yinsi was like a sharp sword.

"There is a Buddhist shrine in the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and this thing is hidden in the shrine."

Yinsi swallowed subconsciously, with shock in his eyes that could not be concealed.

He stood up and walked towards the bed, but was stopped by the prince's quick reaction.

"Just say it right here!"

Seeing the distrust in the prince's eyes, Yinsi did not argue. He knelt down with sweat all over his forehead, and his knees hit the ground with a dull sound. "Father, I don't know why this thing appeared in the Eighth Prince's Mansion. The Prince's Mansion has not been built yet, and I have never been there!"

He kept saying these words over and over again, not knowing how to prove his innocence.

Yinzhen stood in the crowd and watched his superb acting skills. If he didn't know who was the mastermind behind the scenes and what his purpose was, he would have been fooled by his innocent appearance.

The corner of his mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc of sarcasm and he frowned.

Liang Jiugong went forward and helped Kangxi, who was lying on the bed, to sit up. He looked better than before.

"Father Emperor, my dear brother won't do that."

Seeing the undisguised suspicion in Kangxi's eyes, the Ninth Prince quickly knelt down beside him and said, "Father, since leaving Nanxun Palace, Eighth Prince has rarely appeared in other places except the Ministry of Works. He has really never been to the Prince's Mansion."

"Ever since hearing that you were ill, Bigo has been a vegetarian. Every day when he returns home, he kneels before the Buddha to pray for blessings. His filial piety is evident to all. How could he curse you with something like this?"

After hearing what they said, Kangxi ignored them for the time being and turned to look at the person in the corner who didn't exist.

His eyes focused, and invisible pressure fell on Jin Dayan.

"Is this the evil thing you are talking about?"

When Jin Dayan was stared at like that, his face turned pale instantly. He quickly took a few steps forward and took the box.

The black cloth was opened to reveal a dark red box inside. A foul smell wafted out without any warning, making him retch.

He quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have been disrespectful in front of you."

Kangxi spoke in a calm tone, but could not conceal the aura of a superior. "I forgive you for being disrespectful in front of the emperor. You should quickly check whether this thing is evil or not. If so, burn it immediately."

If you say it's not something you're afraid of, no one will believe you.

Jin Daiyan bit his tongue, not daring to look at the expressions of Yinsi and the others, "Your Majesty, this is it. This thing must be an evil thing from an ancient tribe."

"In this case, Baohua Palace will be fully responsible for destroying this item as soon as possible!"

Liang Jiugong was afraid that if he touched it, it would be unlucky when serving the Emperor in the future, so he asked Jin Dayan and the leader who had just delivered the gifts to deliver the gifts to Baohua Palace together.

He took the opportunity to open the doors and windows of the bedroom to dispel the foul air in the room.

After the evil creature was taken away, Kangxi focused his attention on Yinsi again. His calm tone contained the majesty of an emperor, "Why did you not come back all night before I fell ill?"

Yinsi originally thought that Kangxi would question him why there were evil objects hidden in his house, but he never expected that he would ask such a question. When he was about to cry and explain, he was stunned for a moment, with a confused look in his eyes.

This is obviously a very insignificant matter...

He opened his mouth, then came to his senses and pretended to wonder what he was doing that night.

After a moment, he replied in a low voice, "I am drinking outside, in my ninth brother's restaurant."

"You just said that you have never been to the Beizi Mansion, but you don't need to go there in person to place the evil objects. As long as you give a little favor, there will naturally be many people willing to do it."

Kangxi's throat was itchy and he couldn't help coughing twice. Liang Jiugong immediately handed him a handkerchief and warm water.

The emperor asked questions in a roundabout way, asking this and that.

Could it be that you discovered something?

Yinsi was puzzled, but he didn't have the energy to think about anything else. The most important thing at the moment was how to wash away this stain without leaving any trace.

"Your Majesty is right. I cannot clear myself of suspicion. I can find traces to prove that I have done something, but how can I prove something I have never done? If someone wants to pin this on me, I have no way to prove my innocence. Please understand my Majesty."

These words were spoken very sincerely and objectively. Kangxi frowned and drank a sip of warm water. When he took it away, his eyes fell on the clear water, and his pupils were dark and unclear.
