Chapter 206 The Dead Chicken

Huo Shan knelt straighter and said, "I dare not do that!"

Huo Shan: [Who dares to wrongly accuse the emperor's favorite? I just glanced at him out of habit. This is just a professional habit!]

Helian Yue snorted coldly, "I dare not."

After a pause, he ordered, "Go check it out, and come back to see me after you have found out!"

Even if a few golden chickens died for no reason, it would not be unusual in a place like Huguo Temple. He wanted to see who dared to kill under his nose.

…

Well, the one next to it doesn’t count.

Huo Shan was eager to leave at this moment, so he accepted the order and shouted in a deep voice, "I obey your order!"

He then stood up and hurriedly evacuated with his men.

When Xue Sha saw that everyone had run away, he came over with his tail eagerly and rubbed against them one by one.

It's so abominable that they wrongly accuse the little fox.

The little fox was hurt.

Have to eat chicken to make up for it.

Well, it will be divided into large portions later.

Si Linglong was busy flipping the roast chicken and casually pushed its big head to the side.

[If I say you are a little fox, you really think you are a little fox. 】

【Don't you even consider your size?】

Helian Yue looked at her and raised his eyebrows.

"You believe it."

Just now, she looked like she was protecting her son, without any hesitation at all.

It would be fine if she was just protecting it, but deep down, she really believed in Xue Sha and that's why she protected it.

Si Linglong glanced at Helian Yue and asked, "Isn't the emperor aware of the emperor's fox nature?"

[This kid would rather lie down than stand, and would complain about his feet being dirty if he walked two more steps. He is lazy and loves beauty. He only performs exceptionally well if he can catch a chicken, and he killed a bunch of chickens? I won't believe it even if you kill me.]

Helian Yue: ...

Although I don’t want to say it, but... I was convinced.

While people were busy eating and sharing the chicken, Helian Tuo had already brought people to see what was going on when he heard the noise.

The forest was close to the guest house where the concubines lived. Many of the concubines who were sick were frightened by the scream and asked people to go and see.

This one is scary.

At a glance in the woods, one could see the corpses of seven or eight roosters scattered around. Helian Tuo took a look and found that they were all bitten to death, with all their feathers scattered all over the ground.

But according to the monks guarding the gate nearby, they did not hear much noise.

Even if it was an attack by wild foxes in the mountains, it would be impossible for there to be no movement at all, right?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a young eunuch who was watching say,

"When I went to serve the meal earlier, I seemed to have seen Xue Sha... Your Highness..."

The eunuch seemed a little weak when he mentioned the word "Xue Sha", as if he realized that he had said something wrong.

You know, that is the emperor's favorite, how can you slander her?

Helian Tuo looked at the eunuch. In fact, he had also suspected the fat fox just now.

But it was only for a moment before he denied his doubts.

After all, the fox followed Si Linglong all the way and didn't seem to be very smart. It wasn't seen hunting in Jiuzhu Mountain. It couldn't be that it would become ferocious in Yutai Mountain.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a steady voice interrupt. It was Huo Shan who came to investigate under the order of the emperor.

"I have just seen the emperor's favorite. This was not done by the emperor's favorite. Don't talk nonsense."

The last words were said with a certain pressure, and were obviously directed to the young eunuch who had just spoken.

The young eunuch knew that he had said the wrong thing, and now when he faced Commander Huoshan, his legs began to tremble and he almost fell to his knees.

However, Huo Shan did not intend to teach the eunuch a lesson for this matter.

So as not to cause more trouble for the emperor and make it seem that there is no money involved.

He bowed to Helian Tuo and said, "You are my Lord, I have been ordered to supervise this matter. Please leave it to me."

Even if he is the prince of Li, it is not appropriate to let him walk around the Huguo Temple at will.

Helian Tuo also understood what the other party meant, smiled, and said, "Since Commander Huo is here to investigate, this prince will naturally feel relieved."

Huo Shan simply took over Helian Tuo's position and questioned people carefully.

But apart from the little eunuch who said he had seen Xue Sha at the beginning, no one else saw anyone else. The monks in the temple also said that it was probably an attack by wild foxes and vultures in the mountains. After all, there were quite a lot of wild foxes and vultures in Yutai Mountain.

Huo Shan asked once and carefully examined the wound, but found nothing else wrong, so he just thought that the man had been killed by a wild fox.

It wasn't a big deal in the first place. After all, it was normal for a few pheasants to die in the mountains.

However, that very night, there was an unusual movement in the Huguo Temple, or to be more precise, in the courtyard where Si Linglong was.

Si Linglong opened her eyes in a daze, and when she sensed some movement outside the house, she called Qinglu.

Qinglu was keeping watch outside. She quickly turned on the light, opened the door and took a look, but could not help but scream.

Si Linglong's heart tightened and she quickly put on her clothes and came out.

When he reached the door, Qinglu blocked it tightly.

In the moonlight, Si Linglong saw a dead pheasant lying quietly outside the door.
