As soon as the sky was light, the palace maids had already gotten up early to clean and prepare to serve the masters of each palace.

After Liu Jian finished washing up and eating two pieces of cake, he came to wait outside the Fourth Prince's bedroom. When he saw the young eunuch coming out with a basin of water, he hurriedly asked, "Where is the Fourth Prince?"

The young eunuch said, "I got up at daybreak and will be out now."

Liu Jian asked, "Where did you go?"

The young eunuch shook his head, and a hint of hostility suddenly appeared in Liu Jian's eyes. It seemed that he was going to Yining Palace.

The Fourth Prince still didn't consider him as his confidant. Could it be that he wanted to send the disabled Yuan Ning? Although he was an old eunuch who had served Concubine Shu, he couldn't even run errands now. What could he do?

Liu Jian rushed over in a hurry. As soon as he got outside the door, he smelled a foul odor, which made him so sick that he almost vomited.

After finally walking in and taking a look, I couldn't bear it anymore.

Liu Qiang's body was covered in blood, as if his flesh had rotted and was crawling with maggots.

Not far away, his two children were actually swallowing their saliva at such a disgusting monster, their eyes filled with greed and saliva. It was too horrifying.

Liu Jian couldn't bear it any longer and ran out to vomit violently.

Just then, a handkerchief was handed to him. He looked up and found that it was Yuan Ning.

He smiled amiably and said, "Those two children haven't eaten for three days, and are now wondering if they can eat the spoiled meat."

"Don't you think it's too tragic that people, after having children, are busy chasing fame and fortune, and finally let their children become like hungry wolves, trying to devour them?"

Liu Jian didn't know what to say. He just felt a chill on his back. The Fourth Prince didn't seem as useless as he had imagined. Similarly, Yuan Ning should not be underestimated.

How could he be an ordinary person when he has been expelled from the palace for so many years but has been investigating the affairs of Concubine Shu?

Liu Jian said, "I'll go in and try to persuade him. After all, we've worked together before, so maybe it will be helpful."

When Liu Jian went in again, Liu Erxi was already holding a dagger, ready to strike Liu Qiang. But when he saw someone coming in, he quickly retreated like a rat in a gutter.

Liu Jian looked at Liu Qiang, who was motionless and looked as if he were dead, and said, "You didn't say anything because you wanted to save their lives. But you are too naive. Do you really think that the Fourth Prince wants you to admit how you murdered Concubine Shu?"

"Shu Fei is dead. There's no way she'll come back to life. So, by the same token, how can you possibly escape?"

"As for your son and daughter... let me be frank. Once they eat your flesh, it will be difficult for you to survive, let alone live as a human being."

"If you don't believe me, don't go far away when you become a ghost. Just watch carefully."

After Liu Jian finished speaking, he saw that Liu Qiang was still unmoved, so he walked out.

He has said what he needed to say. As for whether Liu Qiang listens or not, that is his business.

But will Concubine Shu's case really end so easily? The answer is definitely no.

Only after Liu Jian left did the Fourth Prince come out of the inner hall.

He said to Yuan Ning, "Since Liu Qiang still refuses to confess, then cut off his flesh and cook it for his two children to eat. And let him watch them eat."

Liu Qiang suddenly opened his eyes, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with unprecedented hatred.

"Wolf cub, I raised you myself. You will get your comeuppance."

"For giving birth to a wicked child like you, your mother must be in hell with no peace."

The Fourth Prince sneered, "I asked Master Zhang to calculate it. My mother and sister have both been reincarnated into wealthy families. But as for you, the frying pan in the underworld is ready. You will be fried in oil."

"Don't worry, that scene will be a million times more disgusting than it is now."

Liu Qiang howled like a madman, his voice more shrill than that of a demon. Liu Erxi trembled and stabbed him with a knife.

While stabbing, he shouted: "Stop screaming, stop screaming, stop screaming..."

Liu Daniu quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "What if you stab him to death?"

Liu Erxi said, "Why should I be afraid? He was going to die anyway. If he was stabbed to death, it's not our fault. He committed a capital crime anyway."

Liu Qiang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Seeing that he still had a reaction, Liu Danniu immediately said angrily: "You are not dead yet? How could there be such a cruel father like you in the world? What does your crime have to do with us? Why don't you tell me so that my brother and I can have a good meal?"

"Since you are so bad, don't blame us for being cruel."

"Brother, become a eunuch and make him childless!"

Liu Erxi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Can you eat enough as a eunuch?"

Liu Danniu said: "Of course you can. Didn't you see Eunuch Yuan? He has people waiting on him."

Liu Erxi said happily: "Then go and become a eunuch."

"Puff." Liu Qiang couldn't help it and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He stared at the Fourth Prince angrily and said, "I can tell you everything, but you must send my two children away and return them to their native land."

The Fourth Prince said, "Yes."

Liu Qiang said: "I don't believe it. I won't tell you until I see the emperor."

The Fourth Prince's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly agreed, "Okay."

"But you are too dirty now. You need to wash before you can see the emperor."

Liu Qiang had nothing to say and could only endure it and let the palace servants wash him and pour out basin after basin of bloody and dirty water.

In the end, he actually saw the white bones exposed in his hands and was so scared that he fainted on the spot.

We had to call the imperial physician and he finally woke up after being pricked with an acupuncture needle.

When she woke up, she was already outside Yining Palace. The emperor was glaring at her and asked, "How did you murder Concubine Shu and the Third Princess? Tell the truth."
