Chapter 74 The Second Game

Chen Hui couldn't hear clearly, so he couldn't help but move his ears closer to listen carefully.

Afraid that his head would be hit, the hand was already on top of his head.

Chen Hui could vaguely hear something, and Su also leaned over to listen with him.

But no matter what, they could only hear some vague words, such as Concubine Su, Prince, and childhood sweethearts.

"Let me tell you, it's right to choose the emperor. The emperor doesn't care about that prince. Who knows if he is the future prince. Instead of simply becoming a princess in the future, maybe he can't even be a princess. It's better to be a princess." The noble concubine who favors the harem, hahahaha..."

"Oh, Master Su, please keep your voice down, don't let others listen to you."

Master Yang hastily covered Master Su's mouth with a wine glass.

They knew everything they needed to know, Chen Hui and Su quickly returned, and when they returned to the box, Lou Yun had almost eaten all the dishes on the table.

Forget it, they have already seen Lou Yun's appetite in reality, and they are really curious, will Lou Yun not be stuffed to death?

Chen Hui and Su had no choice but to order a few more dishes to fill their stomachs. While they were eating, Lou Yun also told them some things he knew, which might be helpful to them.

"The eldest prince is not very favored. In fact, except for the third prince, the others are not very favored. The emperor treats them similarly to the princess. There is no disadvantage or preferential treatment."

Lou Yun intermittently talked about some folk rumors, "Of course you still need to verify these, I don't care about you, anyway, you can come directly to eat whenever you want, just report your name, I will tell the servant .”

Lou Yun left after speaking. It can be seen that he is still full of novelties about this world, and he may not have visited enough in the past few days.

After Chen Hui and Su finished their meal, they had nothing to do in the rest of the time and had no clues, so they had to go back to Chen Hui's mansion to rest for a while, and then return to the palace after a while.

I hope that when I go back, other teammates can find some useful clues.

During the short time when he left the mission, Su had been quietly staring at Chen Hui, there was no way, his captain was just so good-looking.

As soon as Su remembered what Chen Hui said, he became excited. After these games, he could be with the captain!

Forget it, don't set the flag first.

Su decided that in the following games, he must take good care of his own life.

Su's outfit was still too obvious. Chen Hui asked him to change into a more ordinary outfit. Although his appearance was still quite attractive, it was at least a little more low-key.

"Let's go, let's visit the imperial concubine and see if we can get any clues from her."

Chen Hui and Su returned to the palace again, but this time Su sneaked in secretly. With his ability, this little thing can still be done.

Why not let Su go with him in an open and honest manner.

After all, Su's identity is now a prince of a foreign country, and the prince of a foreign country mixed up with court ministers inexplicably, anyone would think too much.

If the emperor finds out, his life may be lost.

So it is better to use this method.

Chen Hui is in the light, Su is in the dark.

Moreover, there are many paths decorated in this palace, as well as many rockery and trees, even if they are discovered, it doesn't matter, Su's ability can definitely deal with it.

Chen Hui came outside the Qianqing Palace and was told that the emperor was there to accompany his wife. Chen Hui had no choice but to leave first in order not to disturb the emperor.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Hui went to other team members to exchange clues.

There are not many teammates who can move freely now, but Yu Sui and Duan Yunlou can. Chen Hui has already asked them to go to the prince to see the situation.

He himself went to the yard where the accident happened to check again.

Just as Chen Hui walked through a courtyard, he suddenly saw a court lady sneaking around. The important thing was not how suspicious she was, but that Chen Hui recognized her as a little court lady next to Concubine Su Gui.

The little palace lady obviously didn't know that she had been discovered by others. She met a little eunuch by a lotus pond.

It's not easy to get close there, Chen Hui can only look at the two from a distance with their heads bowed and whispering.

After the two separated, Chen Hui followed the little eunuch and found that he had gone to the residence of the princes. As expected, Chen Hui ran into Duan Yunlou and Yu Sui who were about to come back.

As the emperor's killer, Yu Sui usually followed the emperor as a guard. He couldn't be easily discovered by others, so he kept his head down.

Chen Hui took the two of them to a safe place, and Duan Yunlou told his discovery.

"The first prince has a good relationship with the second and fourth princes, the third prince has a good relationship with the sixth prince, and the fifth prince naturally doesn't like to make noise, so he is raised alone in a relatively remote palace."

Yu Sui also said: "Just now the sixth prince's little eunuch went out."

"I saw him, he met with the maids of Qianqing Palace."

Duan Yunlou was a little confused, "Could it be the sixth prince?"

"Investigate clearly first, but there is indeed something suspicious. We have to pay more attention to those princes in the past few days. We only have seven days, and it is almost one-third over now. Hurry up as soon as possible."

"Understood, then I'll go and perform some acrobatics in front of the younger princes to scare them."

It was time for Yu Sui to leave. The emperor was about to return to his bedroom at this time. If he found that Yu Sui was not there, something serious might happen.

"When I go back and see Guo Zhi, tell him to be careful about the emperor."

"it is good."

Yu Sui quickly disappeared from Chen Hui's sight, and the case still had no progress. Chen Hui didn't know if the emperor would convict him if there was no news for a few days.

In order not to be imprisoned, Chen Hui decided to solve the case quickly.

Su has been with Chen Hui for a long time, seeing how busy he is, he decides to look for clues elsewhere, so that he can find clues faster.

Su climbed over the palace wall, and a group of guards came towards him. He didn't panic, and quickly hid behind the rockery beside him. After the guards passed by, Su began to search inside and outside the palace.

It really made him see a few suspicious people.

Two court ladies were talking next to a large vat, their expressions were tense, their body movements were uncoordinated, and they were still passing something in their hands, as if they were afraid of being discovered by others.

Coincidentally, Su saw a few guards walking towards there. Although the palace maid saw a few guards, she hid in time, but Su threw a small stone over, making a crisp sound.

The maid turned pale with fright, looked up at the top at a loss, Su had already hid.

The guards also found them, surrounded the two of them, arrested them and sent them to the Punishment Mansion. This is a place in the palace where disobedient or troubled slaves are specially tortured.

Chen Hui soon learned of the news, and Su came back and told him about it.

"Stay here first, don't run around." Chen Hui asked Su to stay in his resting place, and told him not to run around.

"Your identity is more sensitive. Remember to hide if you have something to do. The windows are not locked." Chen Hui told him a few more words worried.

Su couldn't help but stepped forward to give him a hug, "I see, Captain, then come back quickly."

Chen Hui took the opportunity to stroke Su's little curly hair again, and then left in peace after touching enough.

When Chen Hui came to the Punishment Mansion, the temperature started to drop strangely just by approaching here. He observed the layout outside, and it was indeed a place where criminals were held. The walls were built higher than other places, and he didn't know it was Who are you guarding against.

A strange smell came, Chen Hui covered his nose, and the guards in front opened the door for him, and the two maids were imprisoned inside.

Chen Hui also didn't want to embarrass them, "What were you doing not long ago, as long as you tell me, I won't do anything to you."

But the two maids were curled up in the corner, apparently already intimidated, their bodies were trembling non-stop, and they couldn't even utter a word.

Chen Hui talked to them patiently for a while, just when they felt that things were getting better, the two maids suddenly trembled and fell to the haystack next to them, foaming at the mouth, rolling their eyes, Chen Hui knew this without going up to sniff The two are gone.

Careless, how could there be such a method.

Chen Hui asked someone to call the imperial doctor Du, and he waited in front of the two maids. The two corpses had not moved under Chen Hui's nose. When Du Xinsheng arrived, he immediately Go to the autopsy.

Chen Hui had already seen them when something was wrong, but he was not as professional as Du Xinsheng in human medicine, so he could only wait for him to come, and the two of them would discuss how to solve it together.

"They seem to have been poisoned, and they have been lying in wait for a while."

Du Xinsheng put on gloves and looked at the tongue and teeth of one of the court ladies, "There is no cum in their mouths, probably they were poisoned before they came out."

"Did someone push them in front of us on purpose?"

Du Xinsheng couldn't help feeling a little regretful looking at the girls, and ordered the guards to deal with them first.

Chen Hui shook his head, "It's not necessarily intentional, but if the palace maid dies in the palace, she will definitely be discovered." He quietly took a step towards Du Xinsheng, "Su made them be caught in advance, it should be behind the scenes The envoy wanted them to die of poison outside, but unexpectedly let us catch them in advance."

Chen Hui ordered people to find out where the two maids were serving. Du Xinsheng should not stay for a long time, so he left after making an appointment with Chen Hui.

Just now Chen Hui told Du Xinsheng that when he leaves the palace tonight, let him go directly to his mansion to meet up. Tonight is also the time for everyone to get together.

The more troublesome thing was Yu Sui. He was on duty beside the emperor. If the emperor suddenly called him and he was not around, something might happen.

So Chen Hui asked Du Xinsheng to get some medicine to soothe the nerves and help sleep, and then asked Yu Sui to secretly put it in the emperor's meal and tea tonight, so that he could have some snacks at least.

Chen Hui didn't let everyone know about the death in the palace today, otherwise their plan to meet up tonight might be interrupted, and it's best to wait until tomorrow to report to the emperor.

Chen Hui asked his heartfelt subordinates to watch over the corpses of the two maids in the Shenxing Mansion, in case anyone wanted to attack them.

Tonight, all the team members tried their best to get out of the palace, and then met in Chen Hui's mansion.
