Yu Yiluo turned her big black eyes and stared at the emperor who was lost in thought.

[The tyrant wouldn't think it was the Prince of Yueqing who did it, right? The Prince of Yueqing wanted to use Shen Yu to kill Shen Huai and silence him. When Shen Yu went, Shen Huai and Shen Huai were gone, so it definitely wasn't the Prince of Yueqing.]

[Besides, if it was the Prince of Yueqing, then he also wanted to kill Qi An. Isn't Qi An still imprisoned in the Dali Temple? How come he is fine?]

The emperor thought about it and realized that Prince Yueqing's martial arts skills were not as good as his, and he did not have any people with strong martial arts skills under his command, otherwise he would not have only used small tricks to annoy people.

That’s not right. He remembered that Qi An was next door to Shen Huai, so Qi An should know something.

The emperor stood up and told Eunuch Cao, "Go to the Dali Temple."

…

When the emperor arrived at the Dali Temple, the coroner had just finished the autopsy.

When they saw the emperor arriving, everyone knelt on the ground and saluted.

The emperor asked people to stand up, worried that Yu Yiluo would be frightened by the corpse, so he just stood outside the door.

"Your Majesty, please come this way."

Lord Du was also very tactful. Seeing that the emperor was holding Yu Yiluo, he changed the place to talk.

I wondered in my heart, what a fool the emperor was, he wasn't even worried about scaring the little princess.

In fact, Yu Yiluo was not afraid, it was just that the weather was warm now and the smell was not very pleasant.

Several people moved to a place suitable for meeting, and only after the emperor sat down did they let the coroner tell the emperor the results of the autopsy.

"Your Majesty, judging by the time of death on the bodies, the two were killed at midnight. However, after examining their bodies, I found no fatal wounds."

There were scars on his body from torture, but they were not fatal.

Yu Yiluo listened carefully and muttered to herself.

[Do we really have to see the fatal wound? What if it was a smaller hidden weapon?]

Isn't that how suspense dramas are played out?

As soon as the coroner said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

If there are no fatal wounds, could it be a ghost? It's creepy in broad daylight.

Some timid people even felt that the room had become much cooler.

The emperor had been frowning, but his brows suddenly relaxed after hearing Yu Yiluo's thoughts.

He looked at the coroner and said, "Look more carefully and see if there was any fatal wound caused by a hidden weapon."

The coroner took the order and left, and Lord Yang followed.

While waiting, Lord Du had tea served, and then he stood aside, thinking about what to say to the emperor. It didn't feel right to be so quiet.

"Lord Du, please sit down and wait together," the emperor took the tea, raised it up and took a sip.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Lord Du sat aside stiffly, his hands on his knees, looking very reserved.

[Master Du is usually quite good at scolding people, but why is he like a little schoolboy in front of the tyrant? Look at how he sits so obediently.]

"What does Lord Du think about this?"

The emperor also felt it was too quiet, so he asked calmly.

"I think it might be Shen Huai's enemy," he said, pausing and bowing to the emperor. "But there is one thing I can't figure out: how did this person break into the Dali Temple and kill the two of them?"

The guards at the Dali Temple were not lax, so the person who killed Shen Huai must be a highly skilled martial artist.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to break in without anyone knowing.

The emperor did not say anything. He could not understand it. Logically, the person who wanted to kill Shen Huai was Prince Yueqing, but Prince Yueqing had been ruled out. Other officials who had grudges against Shen Huai also knew that what Shen Huai had done was enough to cost him his head, so they would not go to the trouble of killing Shen Huai.

As for Lord Du, it was even more impossible. He was eager to torture Chen Huai. If Chen Huai died so easily, he would probably be the one who suffered the most. After all, he had not tortured him enough.

When Yu Yiluo was getting sleepy waiting, Lord Yang and the coroner walked in.

"How is it?" Lord Du stood up more anxiously than the emperor.

The two men bowed to the emperor, and the coroner opened his hand, revealing a long, thin needle.

"Fortunately, the emperor reminded me, otherwise I would have really overlooked this needle."

He handed the needle to Lord Du and said, "This needle was found on the heads of the two men. It is difficult to find because it is hidden in the hair."

[The tyrant must be feeling incredibly proud. Admittedly, he's quite thoughtful. Otherwise, it would probably take quite a while just to find the cause of death.]

The emperor raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, thinking that Luo'er was praising him.

"So it's these two needles?" Lord Du held up the needles and looked at them for a long time. The cause of death was found, but the murderer could not be found with just two needles.

[This murderer is really like these two needles, like looking for a needle in a haystack. ]

"Yes, sir."

Lord Du asked the coroner to leave, and then he heard the emperor say, "Where is Qi'an?"

Lord Du got a headache when talking about this matter. When the accident happened, he thought of Qi An, but Qi An was sleeping like a dead pig and could not be woken up at all.

"Your Majesty, Qi'an hasn't woken up yet. I'll have him brought here right away."

Soon, Qi An was brought in by two people. He looked like he was sleeping soundly.

"Wake him up, or throw water on him if he fails."

As soon as the emperor said this, Yang Wen immediately went to fetch water.

It seems that the adults are still too kind to Qi An. I don’t know how long Qi An will stay here. This is the first time he has seen someone who likes to stay in the cell so much.

The key point is that he gave himself money to stay, and the emperor let him do it. I can't understand what the two of them were thinking.

He regained his composure and poured the water he had brought directly onto Qi An's face. Qi An was so frightened by the water that he opened his eyes and shouted that the cell was leaking.

Others: “…”

Qi An raised his hand to wipe the water off his face, and then saw the basin in Lord Yang's hand, and instantly realized that it was Yang Wen who splashed water on him.

"Master Yang, why are you splashing water on me?" As he was about to raise his sleeve to wipe the water, a light cough was heard in the quiet room.

The Emperor's voice? Not sure, let's see first.

Qi An's hand froze in mid-air. He slowly turned around and met the emperor's majestic gaze. He quickly knelt down to salute, not caring whether there were still water droplets on his face.

The emperor is not here to let him go, is he? No.

He didn't know yet whether the man would kill him.

There are quite a lot of empty cells in the Dali Temple, and he paid for it himself, so the emperor wouldn't refuse to let him stay.

While Qi An was lost in thought, the Emperor asked, "Chen Huai and Du Lin died in the cell last night. Did you see who did it?"

Qi An was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Dead?"

He hasn't slept well since the two men were locked up next door. All they did was to be tortured and quarrel. They kept quarreling even after being tortured like that.

No wonder I slept so well last night, it turns out two people died.

"Your Majesty, I didn't see anything. I just remember them arguing. I don't know what happened after that."

After Qi An finished speaking, he felt somewhat relieved. According to the emperor's meaning, these two people were killed, but this person actually did not attack him. He was quite clear about gratitude and resentment.

But it seems that Dali Temple is not safe either?

"Think about it again," the emperor was not satisfied with this answer. People always leave something behind, how could Qi An not know?

Qi An thought about it carefully again and shook his head.

"I just felt sleepy and fell asleep. I was woken up by the water splashing on me."
