This is the entertainment industry! No tantrums or shouting allowed!

The general was initially shocked, but then calmed down.

"You actually found out... How did you guess?"

Everyone:! ! !

It really is a great general!

Wen Yao said methodically:

“At first, the clues we received were very clear: as long as we found someone with a hidden main quest, we would find out by following the clues that the Empress died from poisoning.”

"The medical book I obtained states that long-term use of Five-Stone Powder can lead to chronic poisoning, and a sudden overdose can cause sudden death. The Empress couldn't have been unaware of this, so she must have been murdered. This leads to the second question: who poisoned her?"

"Then there's the timeline. According to normal reasoning, only the person who arrived at the Imperial Study before the Empress would have had the opportunity to poison her. But... I found a puppet doll on my brother."

Gu Yan looked bewildered: "Huh? What doll?"

Josius took out the pendant he wore at his waist and sighed, "I also found this lead, but unfortunately the mission time is up."

Wen Yao nodded.

Gu Yan: "..."

Someone who can only speak Chinese but can't read Chinese characters is almost finished playing the game, but he, a Chinese person, doesn't even understand what the main storyline is.

Was this murder mystery game really not designed to humiliate him?

Lu Amber was even more confused: "Aba aba? Makka Pakka?"

The viewers in the live stream had already started laughing.

Go home, kids! You two go home!

[This duo of brain-dead individuals is really not suited for brain-teasing games, hahaha]

Try to think more positively. If your classmates/colleagues were all like inkstones and cypresses, their slightly clumsy nature would be reassuring!

[Master, I've got it! Sister Yue, please bless my competitors to all be Bai Ziyanzi!]

[If I buy a Yao Mei figurine, will it help me overcome my boss's cerebellar atrophy, just like Bai Zi's?]

[Sisters, if you manage to beat your boss, remember to give feedback! I want to buy one too!!]

[This is the first time I've seen a variety show where both the guests and the audience are so crazy!]

...

Wen Yao continued, "The intelligence I obtained from the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion indicates that a mysterious puppetry technique has spread from the Western Regions, which can manipulate the consciousness of others for a certain period of time."

"Two people entered the Imperial Study before the Empress: the Grand Secretary and the Imperial Consort. The General only needs to manipulate one of them to poison her to achieve his goal."

"So only one question remains: who was manipulated to poison him?"

Wen Yao looked at the Emperor's husband, "The Empress secretly gave birth to a daughter. She can hide it from others, but she can't hide it from you, her husband."

The Emperor closed his folding fan and sighed softly.

"It seems that some things cannot be hidden after all."

At this point, the truth is revealed.

The world was at peace, but the Grand General held great power and refused to relinquish it, gradually creating a rift between the emperor and his ministers.

By chance, the general obtained the "Puppet Technique" from the Western Regions and began to plot his murder.

The emperor's husband was chosen to be his puppet, and because he also harbored ambitions for the throne, he not only did not expose the truth after the empress died of poison, but also went along with it to cover it up for her.

The two appeared to be in cahoots, but in reality, they each harbored their own agendas.

With the main storyline complete, we now move on to the NPC performance segment.

The Grand Secretary drew his longsword: "You two are truly lawless! Today, I will execute you two traitors!"

One sword, one traitor—it was swift and decisive to the extreme!

Guests: ? ? ?

Is it reasonable for a civil official like you to have such formidable combat power?

"Chief Steward Lu, where are the things I asked you to prepare?" The Prime Minister wiped the blood off his sword and asked calmly.

"It's all here!" Steward Lu said obsequiously, taking out a golden dragon robe. "This servant embroidered it for you three months ago!"

Wen Yao was stunned: "Mother, how come you're usurping the throne?"

"You child, stop talking nonsense!"

The Grand Secretary feigned anger, unfolded the dragon robe, and draped it over Wen Yao's shoulders. "Hey, who put the dragon robe on my daughter? It fits her perfectly!"

Wen Yao:? ? ?

Running errands, investigating cases, decrypting—was it actually me who usurped the throne?
