Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

After the two returned to Prince Yun's Mansion, they spread the news to everyone, and everyone gathered together again that night. However, this time, Liuli had Teng Sen by her side, who could not be driven away.

"Why is he here again?"

Chu Yao said bluntly.

"It was fine if you followed us when we went out to play last time, but you also followed us when we were having a private conversation?"

Chu Yao also asked other people.

"Is there no one to supervise? Just let the bad guys in like this?"

Xiao Zuochen patted his shoulder, signaling Chu Yao to sit down, and then, regardless of Chu Yao's "struggle", informed everyone of the cause of the incident. Liuli and King Qing could accept it, one was a modern man, and the other knew what his father was like, so the two could accept it.

But Zhen Luo found it hard to accept after hearing it.

"What? The emperor's usual affection for Concubine Yun and respect for the queen are all fake? This is too disgusting~"

"Cough cough~"

Xiao Zuoqing coughed twice awkwardly, and Zhen Luo quickly covered his mouth.

"It doesn't matter. I am also ashamed to have such a father."

Xiao Zuoqing explained that he simply felt a little embarrassed and did not care about Zhen Luo saying bad things about the emperor.

Teng Sen on the side also said that he felt a little sympathy for the emperor at first. The women he liked didn't like him. Now it seems that he deserved it.

“But there’s a problem.”

Liuli suddenly proposed.

"Even if we know that everything behind this was instructed by the emperor, then what? We can't just tell the world that it was the emperor who did all this."

Zhen Luo nodded after hearing this. Although the emperor was guilty of the same crime as the common people, this kind of thing would definitely not be said to be the emperor's fault, and the crime would definitely be put on someone else.

"Either we keep these cases as cold cases as we are saying now, or we find someone to take the blame later."

"So in the end, you found nothing, and you even attracted the emperor's attention."

Liuli rolled her eyes at Teng Sen and said: If you don’t know how to speak, you don’t have to speak.

Xiao Zuochen nodded aside.

"Indeed, although the emperor didn't say anything and didn't know that we had found out so much, he is a suspicious person and will definitely make things difficult for you. Chu Yao and I were called to the palace yesterday for questioning. Brother, Zhen Luo, you should also be more careful in the future. Liuli, although you are outside the palace, you must be more careful!"

Xiao Zuochen also called him the emperor, after all, what he did caused "public outrage".

"Ah."

Xiao Zuoqing nodded to indicate that he would pay attention.

"Don't worry, I won't run to the emperor and make trouble."

Zhen Luo shrugged, thinking that the emperor could do nothing to embarrass her. Teng Sen, who was standing by, pretended to be casual, straightened his clothes, and said something that he thought was handsome.

"Don't worry, Liuli has me to protect her. No one can get close to her."

The others glanced at him, but no one said anything. Instead, they laughed secretly. Liuli remained calm on the surface, but from Teng Sen's sudden painful expression, one could tell there was something fishy going on. One of Liuli's feet was stepping hard on Teng Sen's foot.

Liuli turned her head and glared at Teng Sen: I told you not to talk nonsense!

Teng Sen looked aggrieved.

"Ahem! Let's get back to the topic. What should we do next? We can't control this matter."

Xiao Zuoqing spoke up. Things had already come to this and he could only think about what to do next.

"Although we know that the Emperor was behind the Shenyin Pavilion incident and the serial murders, there were only five people who were traitors at the time, but we haven't figured out the sixth victim yet."

Liuli nodded and continued.

"I have two guesses. One is that the murderer was seen by the sixth person when he committed the fifth crime, so he was also silenced. The other is that the first five people were actually killed by the sixth person. When he completed the task, the emperor sent someone to silence the sixth person."

Zhen Luo said without thinking after hearing this.

"It must be the first one. Send the sixth person to kill all the people in front, and then send the seventh person to silence the sixth person. Then the seventh person also knows about this matter, right? Why didn't the emperor silence the seventh person? I don't think it makes sense."

Xiao Zuoqing also nodded.

"Is there a situation where the emperor can't send the seventh person to do this task at first, so he can only let the sixth person complete it, but he doesn't want the sixth person to know about it, so he can only let the seventh person kill the sixth person. After all, killing one person is much easier than killing five people."

"If you put it that way, it's not impossible..."

Zhen Luo held his chin, thinking hard.

"No matter what the situation is, for now, the identity of the sixth person is still very special. Everyone should find a way to find the people who have disappeared in Tai'an City recently and see if you can find any clues from them."

"If we post notices and let the people report it themselves, is there anyone missing from home?"

Zhen Luo asked.

"It is indeed a method, but the scope of this method is limited to the other party's family or relatives and friends. We must think of other methods to ensure that all ranges can be covered. This matter will be handed over to Zhen Luo and Liuli."

After hearing this, the two of them nodded, including Teng Sen.

"what about me?"

"We two brothers will naturally go into the palace to investigate."

"Enter the palace? Do you suspect that the sixth person is from the palace?"

"Not sure, but we can't rule out this possibility. If they are really from the palace, Zhen Luo and Liu Li will definitely not be able to find them outside the palace, so we need to go into the palace, along with Chu Yao, Yun Feng and the others."

"So many people entering the palace together? Wouldn't it be too conspicuous?"

"Only two of us will enter the palace, and the others will find their own way."

Xiao Zuochen gave Xiao Zuoqing a look, but Xiao Zuoqing didn't understand and looked at him with a questioning look. Chu Yao explained on the side.

"Just sneak in!"

"Ah~"

Xiao Zuoqing understood now. Xiao Zuochen looked at Chu Yao and gave him a thumbs up, and Chu Yao also raised his chin towards him, very proud.

"We will act separately tomorrow, but starting from tomorrow night, we cannot appear under everyone's eyes at the same time."

"why?"

"Lest the Emperor send someone to follow you!"
