Dead! Emperor Nan Shao narrowed his eyes fiercely, cruelty was evident in those shrewd eyes.

There is only one explanation for their death, and that is to absolve the people behind them.

The imperial palace should be the place under the strictest control of the emperor, but somehow, someone took advantage of it.

This time, they bribed the person who fed the spirit bird. Next time, will they be bold enough to bribe the person in charge of the emperor's meals?

Although the daily life of Emperor Nan Shao has been through layers of scrutiny and is not so easy to break into, but Emperor Nan Shao values ​​his life, and the incident with the spirit bird is a lesson for him. How can he tolerate those people?

"Come here, bring all the people guarding Lingzhen Pavilion here."

As soon as the order was given, Queen Nan Shao's face turned ashen. Long Lingxun and the Queen looked at each other, knowing that at this point, their situation was over...

The queen frowned, raised her hand, and gently moved her hairpin, which was a signal to silence her.

The queen sighed lightly. Fortunately, they had made sufficient preparations today. Otherwise, Luo Xuening's behavior would have proved Long Moxun's innocence, and they, mother and son, would have been implicated.

Luo Xue Ning, the Queen stared at Luo Xue Ning with cold eyes and unwillingness. This woman had ruined her plans time and again. She must not let this woman have another chance to ruin her plans.

"Your Majesty, it's bad, it's bad... All the guards in charge of guarding Lingzhen Pavilion have committed suicide by taking poison."

After a while, the imperial guards ran in with a deathly pale face and reported the news with trembling lips. He no longer dared to look at the emperor's expression.

At this moment, even the slightest bit of pretended calmness on Emperor Nan Shao's expression disappeared. He clenched his fists fiercely. They were going to kill us to silence us.

Even if Long Moxun's innocence is proven, the real culprit behind the scenes cannot be found.

Emperor Nan Shao felt humiliated. At his birthday banquet, under heavy guard, someone dared to act so brazenly. This courage and ability were truly extraordinary.

Furious beyond words, Emperor Nan Shao slammed the table and said, "Investigate, dig three feet underground to find out. He dared to kill the spirit bird and slander the emperor's eldest grandson. I will exterminate all nine clans. In addition, the dead guards will have their bodies whipped and hung on the city wall. The men in the three clans will be sent to the army, and the women will be sold to music schools."

This time, Emperor Nan Shao was furious. The entire Lingzhen Pavilion was bought by them. This was only what was dug out. There was no telling how many more people who had not been dug out and were working for the people behind the scenes. This was truly an extremely powerful conspiracy.

It was the spirit bird that died today, but will he be the one to die tomorrow?

Check this matter, we have to check it.

In the palace, we must investigate thoroughly.

His cold eyes swept over Zhongre, his concubine, his son, and his ministers who were present. Emperor Nan Shao's eyes became gradually colder. Each and every one of these people was a suspect.

"The emperor is happy or angry, and his health is important. You must not worry about such trivial matters."

With a "thump", all the ministers knelt at the feet of Emperor Nan Shao as if they had agreed beforehand. Emperor Nan Shao looked at them coldly. They submitted to him with unmistakable worries on their faces. However, who could guarantee what evil intentions were hidden beneath their submissive appearance?

"Anger, how do you want me to be angry?" The emperor glared at them, trying to see something from their faces. However, each of his ministers was as shrewd as a monkey, and there was no trace of flaw in them. Emperor Nan Shao was once again so angry at these ministers that he gritted his teeth.

These are his subjects, and this is his kingdom.

"Come here, drive back to the palace."

"The rest of the matter will be handled by Prince Jing."

Throwing down a few words coldly and warning everyone present with a sharp look, Emperor Nan Shao turned away. This time, he was really angry. It seemed that this palace really needed a thorough treatment.

Inside the hall, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Luo Xuening was still kneeling in the middle of the hall, enduring the cold gaze from the Queen.

There is a heavy warning in this line of sight. This time, Luo Xue Ning has severely offended the Empress and others. After this incident, Luo Xue Ning will officially become a member of Prince Jing's party.

Long Moxun met the empress's cold gaze. He frowned slightly, looked back sharply, and then reached out to help Luo Xuening up: "Get up first."

"But......"

Luo Xuening didn't want to be so unique. There were a row of people kneeling in the hall. If she stood up now, wouldn't she stand out a little?

Long Moxun knew what she meant and glanced at everyone indifferently: "Everyone, get up."

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone stood up, Long Moxun lifted Luo Xuening's body without leaving any trace and helped her up.

"Thank you."

In public, Long Moxun did not dare to get too close to Luo Xuening. He just whispered two words in her ear and then quickly stepped back, keeping a distance from Luo Xuening.

Luo Xuening glanced at him in a trance. It was so fast that she almost thought it was just an illusion. But when she turned around, she happened to meet Long Moxun's eyes. His eyes were not as cold as usual, but instead, they were soft and gentle.

In an instant, Luo Xue Ning was like being struck by lightning. Cang Huang avoided his gaze, but his eyes were inexplicably filled with a layer of embarrassment.

"I will strictly investigate today's incident and will not let anyone off the hook. Everyone, it's getting late. Please step back."

Long Moxun rubbed his brows. What happened today was really worrying and extremely dangerous.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally said goodbye to each other and left. The Emperor of Nan Shao was very angry at this birthday banquet. It seemed that the capital would not be peaceful from now on.

Long Lingxun was unwilling to give in. He walked up to Long Moxun and said in a strange tone.

"My brother, you are handling matters on behalf of our father today. You must perform well and don't let our father down."

Long Moxun turned a deaf ear to his provocation, but he kept today's events in mind.

"Don't worry, I will find out the real murderer."

Long Moxun turned his back, leaving him with a proud figure.

Long Lingxun gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he had miscalculated what happened today.

The people at the banquet soon left, and as soon as they left, Long Moxun began to investigate the murder of the spirit bird.

All those who guarded the spirit bird died or confessed their guilt, but these were not Long Moxun's ultimate goal, because those hiding behind were still waiting for an opportunity to act.

This time, the Queen and her men made a big move, so Long Moxun naturally had no choice but to take advantage of this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.

All those who had any connection with the case were arrested by Long Moxun and interrogated one by one. Even the two palace maids who had troubled Luo Xuening were dealt with by Long Moxun. This made the queen almost spit out blood.

As far as Long Moxun is concerned, he doesn't care about the gentleman's way. He can't be a gentleman when dealing with a villain like the Queen. He would be abusing his power for personal gain. But now, the Emperor has given him full authority to deal with the matter. Queen, dare you say no?

Even if there is dissatisfaction, of course you still have to keep it in your heart.

Within three days, a large number of people were dealt with in the palace. The people in the palace were in a panic for a while. Everyone knew the methods of this Prince Jing. For a while, everyone was in danger. Under the suppression of this iron-blooded method, the palace was surprisingly quiet and peaceful. However, even so, those spies planted in the palace were still dug out one by one by Long Moxun.

These people may not seem like anything special on the surface, but if you dig deeper, you'll find that those who were arrested are actually in cahoots with the Queen, and of course, there are several other princes involved as well.

There might be other people involved in this incident with the spirit bird. Long Moxun took this opportunity to eliminate them one by one.

When the Queen and Prince Shou heard the news, and watched the forces they had worked so hard to build up being taken away by Long Moxun without any warning, they were so angry that their faces turned ashen and they looked embarrassed and irritable.

Long Moxun, they really underestimated him before. If he hadn't taken action today, they would never have thought that the forces hiding behind them had already been figured out by Long Moxun.

Long Moxun, this person is really terrifying.

At this time, the Queen and her son had only one thought in their minds: Long Moxun could not be kept. For this reason, they had to do everything they could to get rid of him, and this opportunity would soon come.
