Chapter 446: How did you bring the poisonous snake in from outside the palace?



The Second Prince was about to take his men away when he heard the Crown Prince's reminder from behind him.

"Second brother, stay and listen to the end."

The second prince waved his hand and asked his men to control the scene first.

The Crown Prince calmly ordered his men, together with the Second Prince's men, to seek the Emperor's permission to temporarily close the palace gates and strictly prohibit anyone from entering or leaving.

The second prince clasped his fists in gratitude towards the crown prince, who nodded and looked into his arms.

[Prince brother is amazing, he is so thoughtful! ]

[With the Second Prince here, no bad guy can escape! ]

Thinking of what Huo Feng had just revealed, Jun Baozhu frowned.

[It's so powerful? My body is melting? ]

[Didn’t the palace maid and Wan Chong who died before just bleed from all seven orifices? Why did these two eunuchs, who were clearly dead, have to have their bodies destroyed? ]

[Oh! It is very likely because they realized that the death of several people in such a short period of time would attract attention, so they wanted to destroy the traces? ]

[Two eunuchs, I'm afraid by the time the Second Prince gets there, there will only be two marks left on the ground...]

[Second Prince's men went over there. Have the eunuchs' bodies been almost melted? ]

The prince felt stomach discomfort upon hearing this, but he still looked at Jun Baozhu's expression first, worried that she might be frightened.

Fortunately, Jun Baozhu's soul is much more mature than her body. Fortunately, she did not see it with her own eyes, so she was much calmer than when she experienced the poisonous snake attack just now.

Jun Baozhu asked the system again:

[Two eunuchs, what are their characteristics? ]

[They are responsible for doing odd jobs in the imperial kitchen and are good at handling living things? ]

[So, it is very likely that they brought the poisonous snake into Kunning Palace? ]

[But how did you bring the poisonous snake in from outside the palace? ]

[Also, the guards said that a dark shadow appeared and led them away...]

[The guards and the second prince's brother arranged for the palace guards, at least twenty people, were all led away. How many people are there? ]

[How is it possible to escape unscathed? ]

[Madame Gui has one person here. Even if we include Madame Qin, where are the others? ]

[What? The Second Prince's brother's people are checking at the palace gates and registering people entering and leaving...]

[I discovered that there is a group of people in the imperial kitchen who have just returned from shopping and brought a batch of fresh mountain products into the palace? ]

[I found out that some things were taken away, and how many people were sent out? 】

The Second Prince and the Crown Prince looked at each other, and the answer was self-evident.

At the same time, I remembered Jun Baozhu's regretful voice:

[What a pity! The black-clad man who led away the imperial guards and the imperial guards must have spread the news! ]

[But has the Queen Mother's power reached the Imperial Kitchen? ]

[What? In the past, the Empress Dowager's people, Gui Mama, rarely had anything to do with the Imperial Kitchen? ]

[That's strange, how could they suddenly mobilize so many people? ]

[If poisonous snakes were mixed into mountain products and entered the palace, someone must have falsified the purchase and inspection certificates...]

[Assassinating the imperial concubine and princess is not a minor crime. It is not a community of interests. Will they participate? ]

Huo Feng is stepping up its search and analysis of information, so it did not immediately answer Jun Baozhu's question.

But these questions provided the Crown Prince and the Second Prince with good ideas.

Sure enough, just as Jun Baozhu calmed down, the Second Prince's men came back to report.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Second Prince!

Two bodies suspected to be eunuchs were found under the rockery cave in the Imperial Garden.

"Suspected?"

The second prince couldn't help but speak out.

"Your Highness, I am here with you..."

The guards raised their heads slightly, worried that they might frighten the noble.

The prince understood and pressed Jun Baozhu into his arms.

One ear was pressed against his chest, and the other was covered with his palm.

[Hmm? Is there something I can't listen to? ]

[Brother Prince, can you let me listen for a while? ]

The prince was helpless and sighed lightly, remaining unmoved.

Upon seeing this, the guards hurriedly reported: "When we arrived, only half of the two bodies were left, like a candle that had melted.

The subordinates were powerless and could only watch as the body disappeared.

But at that time, I, together with the Crown Prince's guards, and with the support of Eunuch Li, checked the number of eunuchs and palace maids in the palace...

It was discovered that the two eunuchs who handled the sundries in the imperial kitchen were missing. These two eunuchs were good at handling mountain products and living things.

Someone saw that they were responsible for receiving a batch of mountain products delivered from outside the palace this morning, and no one saw them since then.

In addition, after checking the entry and exit list at the palace gate, it was found that the group of people transporting mountain products from the imperial kitchen were the most suspicious.

According to investigation, due to concerns that the mountain products might be damaged, there was a letter from the chief eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen, which checked the guards at the palace gate, but did not open the vehicles transporting the mountain products for inspection.

There was a discrepancy in the number of people coming in and out, so the imperial kitchen let a few people go on the pretext that some mountain products were missing.

Apart from this, no other possible personnel were found.”

After hearing this, Jun Baozhu couldn't help but say to Huo Feng:

[Oh! I know all this! ]

[Now, the eunuch who handled the mountain products is gone. Not to mention the evidence, even the person is gone! ]

[If they were the ones who released the snake and sneaked out of the palace under the pretext of delivering additional mountain products, they were most likely the ones who led away the imperial guards and imperial guards at that time...]

[It will probably be hard to find them in a short time...]

[So now, how can I check it? ]

[My mother and I shouldn't be frightened for nothing, right? ]

[If it weren't for my mother, we would have almost died! ]
