Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

After two days of calm, Xiao Zuochen finally sorted out the relationship between the things that happened before, so he called everyone in the small group to discuss the next response. However, this time, not only Teng Sen who followed Liuli and Yun Qian who followed Yunfeng came, but also the third prince who followed Zhen Luo.

When Xiao Zuoming saw that everyone was looking at him with unfriendly eyes, he instantly got furious.

"What? Is there anything wrong with this prince following his wife out here?!"

However, no one wanted to pay attention to him, only Teng Sen patted his shoulder and comforted him.

"It's okay. I also encountered this kind of treatment when I first came here. It will get better after a while~"

After hearing this, the third prince felt a little better.

"The cause and effect of the whole incident is that Emperor Mingren used the Queen's witchcraft to manipulate the late Emperor to pass the throne to himself. After ascending the throne, he fell in love with Concubine Yun at first sight. He then used the Queen's witchcraft to manipulate her and imprisoned her in the palace, causing Concubine Yun to give birth to His Royal Highness Prince Yun. Later, Concubine Yun somehow got rid of the Queen's control and hid herself in Yun Garden, so she was no longer harmed by the Queen.

Later, Emperor Mingren met Chu Yao's sister Chu Yiyi and found that she looked very similar to Concubine Yun, so he brought her back to the palace. Later, he found out that she was the granddaughter of the owner of Shenyin Pavilion, so he used her identity to arrange for his spies to enter Shenyin Pavilion, which led to the tragedy of the Shenyin Pavilion being wiped out more than ten years ago.

Next is the serial murder case we encountered earlier. The first five victims were the spies and contacts who infiltrated Shenyin Pavilion. However, we are still unsure of the identity of the sixth person. "

Liuli pointed to the network of relationships she had written on the wooden board and sorted out the previous clues. When Xiao Zuochen heard her say this, he motioned Yun Wei to go up and make additional comments.

"Some time ago, my master asked me to investigate the situation of Eunuch Mu Yi and Eunuch Mu Dai. According to the information given by the servants in the palace, Eunuch Mu Dai was the adopted son suddenly adopted by Eunuch Mu Yi a year ago. As everyone knows, Eunuch Mu Yi has always been the most trusted person of Emperor Mingren. Even when he was old, Emperor Mingren kept him by his side. Therefore, many people in the palace wanted to be Eunuch Mu Yi's godson, in order to inherit his mantle and serve in front of Emperor Mingren. However, Eunuch Mu Yi has always been worried that others have ulterior motives towards him, so he has never adopted an adopted son.

As for Mu Dai Gong Gong, people originally called him Little Bag, and it was said that he had no great ability. He didn't know how to please his master, and his brain wasn't very bright, but he had better physical strength, so he was given a lot of rough and heavy work to do.

It is said that a few days before Mu Yi publicly admitted that Mu Dai was his adopted son, he often wandered around and observed other young eunuchs. At that time, others thought that Mu Yi was looking for someone who was lazy and did not think much about it. Later, after careful consideration, they thought that he was probably looking for someone who was diligent so that he could be adopted as his son.

"What does this have to do with the sixth person?"

Xiao Zuoqing asked a question.

"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Qing. In addition to the relationship between these two people, I have also found out that Eunuch Mu Yi has always been a martial artist. Although this is not a secret in the palace, Eunuch Mu Yi's martial arts are actually very strong. For comparison, he may be at the same level as me."

"what?"

Prince Qing was shocked. He had always thought that Eunuch Mu Yi only knew some fancy martial arts that were not presentable.

"Yes, because a brave young eunuch said that he had secretly seen Eunuch Mu Yi beat a strong guard to death with one palm strike, and the guard died before he could react. The young eunuch was afraid and didn't tell anyone, so I went to check Eunuch Mu Dai's room. There was a copy of the 'Luoyang Palm Manual' in his room, which must have been left to him by Eunuch Mu Yi. The description of this palm method in the manual is the same as the palm print on the sixth person at that time."

"So that's how it is. Then the sixth person can be connected here."

Liuli continued.

"This sixth person is sent by the palace. He is responsible for killing the first five people. After that, Eunuch Mu Yi only needs to kill this person and Emperor Ming Ren can rest easy."

Everyone nodded, but a new problem arose.

"Why did Emperor Mingren keep those spies for so many years, but suddenly wanted to kill them this year?"

Zhen Luo ignored the Third Prince who was asking her questions and turned to Xiao Zuochen. Xiao Zuochen then turned his gaze to Chu Yao, and the others followed Xiao Zuochen's gaze and looked at Chu Yao.

Chu Yao was shocked.

"Why are you all looking at me? It has nothing to do with me."

After he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Zuochen still looking at him, and his expression changed slightly.

"It doesn't really have anything to do with me, does it?"

Xiao Zuochen spoke at this time.

"Father didn't intend to kill them, unless he felt threatened and was afraid that someone would find out something, then he would suddenly kill them. And what made him feel threatened was your coming to Tai'an City."

"How is that possible? I came here secretly, no one knew."

"Does anyone in Shenyin Pavilion know about this?"

"Only a few elders...you mean!"

Chu Yao suddenly understood something. There was a traitor in Shenyin Pavilion! But...

"That's not right. If the traitor was still there, the location of Shenyin Pavilion would have been exposed over the years, and Emperor Mingren would have hunted us down long ago."

"Maybe it's a new spy, or maybe the emperor has other plans. It's impossible that there is no insider who tipped off the emperor, and the emperor suddenly found out that you were going to investigate this matter? He had already started dealing with these people before you arrived in Tai'an."

Chu Yao lowered his head and thought, then suddenly looked up and said.

"Then I have to inform my grandfather about this and let him be on guard."

Xiao Zuochen nodded.

"Remember not to alert the enemy!"

"Then what do we do next?"

"Next..."

Xiao Zuochen pondered for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses again.

"You can choose to participate or not in what happens next, because what happens next is actually my own business. I plan to rescue my mother from the palace and take her away from Tai'an City. But I know that your father, Zhen Luo, is still serving in the capital. My eldest brother's family is in the capital. Even if you can escape, the Taifu family will be implicated. My third brother is one with Zhen Luo, so he can't act rashly. So..."

"So, you still have me!"

Chu Yao stood beside Xiao Zuochen and looked at him firmly.

"And me! I don't have any brothers or sisters to worry about, so I can do whatever I want without any worries."

Liuli stood up, and Teng Sen beside her also stood up when he saw this.

"Of course I followed Liuli!"

"Your Highness Prince Yun, don't forget that I am here~"

They looked over and saw Yun Qian, who was leaning against the door with an "I'm the best" look on her face.

"Don't underestimate me. I'm the Holy Maiden of Miao. I'm very good at witchcraft. I can also poison you. I promise not to let you waste a single soldier."

Xiao Zuochen just looked at her quietly without saying a word.

"Hey, you keep staring at me, are you suddenly in love with me?"

"Pfft-"

Chu Yao suddenly laughed, and said mockingly, "Who would like a bean sprout like you?"

"you!"

"Why do you want to help me?"

The other people came out of acquaintance, but Yun Qian had no personal connection with him. Instead, she was considered the benefactor who saved his life.

Yun Qian leaned against the door, swinging a thin rope in her hand, and spoke with a vague look in her eyes.

"Who made my last name Yun now?"

"what?"

Teng Sen didn't understand, so Chu Yao quickly added.

"She means she is Yun Feng's wife."

"Hey! I didn't say that."

Yun Qian quickly clarified but did not deny it. Yun Feng, who was standing by, blushed and ran out of the room with an excuse.

"Eh? Where are you going? Wait for me!"

Yun Qian also chased after him.
