The bad news came too suddenly, which caught Youmeng, Lu Kun and everyone in the hall off guard.

"Die?!" Youmeng was shocked, "How did you die!"

"It was poisoning!" Xiao Bengzi reported carefully, not daring to miss a single point. "But the imperial doctor had checked it, there was no poison in the food, and the prison guards also said that there was no abnormality in the prison, there were no other fatal injuries on Yan Que, and there were no signs of fighting on the scene, as if he committed suicide by taking poison..."

"He committed suicide at this time?" Youmeng looked very entangled and incredible.

"Princess, I will finally hear that there is a rule for those who have done this business in detail. The mastermind behind the scenes will often restrain them with his family." Lu Kun said, "Whenever the whereabouts are exposed, they know that it is difficult to survive, they must have the determination to die. In order to avoid implicating their own family, they must not reveal the mastermind behind them, so they will prepare a poison in advance, hide it in the secret place on their bodies, and wait until they need it, and settle it themselves."

Youmeng's eyes stagnated: "You said he committed suicide because of his crime?"

He was very confident: "From the evidence we have at present, this possibility is the greatest."

Lan Ying nodded in a deep look: "What General Lu said is not without reason. It is not difficult for Yan Que to get poison in his family."

"All signs indicate that Yan Que's detailed identity has been confirmed, but the clues of his death have been cut off." You Meng was sad and walked anxiously, "The most hateful thing is that the master behind him can no longer investigate..."

I thought I had worked so hard to grasp the work, but I was not far from the truth, and I also saw hope for my future turnaround, but now the clue I just found was cut off again. This disappointment of wasting all my efforts lingered in my heart, making her very depressed.

The deep color of the winter solstice reminded her: "Princess, how to deal with the body of Yan Que?"

Han Lu said: "A man died in our mansion. After all, he is also the descendant of a wealthy family. I am afraid he can't stop it."

When the Winter Solstice was thinking about it, he felt even more panicked: "Yes, if his family makes trouble in the government, they will definitely startle the palace!"

"But his body must be returned to the Yan family, but I have to think of a reason to block the Yan family's mouth." Lan Ying was worried about this.

Youmeng paused for a few steps and raised his hand unconsciously while thinking: "Xiao Bengzi, you ordered someone to deal with Yan Que's body and transport it back to Yan's house in a 'Fengfengguangguang'. If they ask about the cause of death, they will say that he broke into the forbidden area at the evil-exorcist ceremony in our mansion and violated the curse. This caused a disaster and gave him another hundred gold to provide pension."

Lan Ying felt it was inappropriate and questioned: "Youmeng, don't forget that Yan Que's family is in business, and the family is not short of money. If a person's life is exchanged for a hundred gold, will they settle the situation?"

"I also want to know if they will." Youmeng turned back meaningfully and looked at her with a smile. "I don't want them to give up, I just want to see their reaction."

Lan Ying is also a smart woman, but now she can't understand.

Youmeng said: "Anyone who has a clear mind will know better than us why their son died? What are the benefits for them if things get bigger?"

Lan Ying fell silent, and Han Dew and the Winter Solstice exchanged their eyes.

Youmeng narrowed her bright eyes slightly: "If they dare to make trouble, it proves that Yan Que may be innocent. If they dare not make trouble..."

Once Yan Que's death spread, it caused quite a stir in the mansion. The people in Tannuyuan were suspicious and panic, and they were all talking about the matter privately. Since Yan Que broke into a forbidden area in a ritual and was locked up, no one had seen him for the last time, and suddenly died inexplicably. They couldn't help but guess, could it be that the little princess had executed him secretly?

It is certainly a crime to trespass into forbidden areas, but it is really a great crime to death. I guess there must be some hidden secrets in it, right?

For a moment, there were many different opinions, and they felt that the princess's mansion was filled with the smell of conspiracy, as if it was shrouded under the heavy dark clouds, and everyone was in danger.

At the same time, Su Zhi and Li You were also pushed to the forefront. It is said that Yan Que wanted to compete for favor with them, but they were killed by them.

Somehow the rumor started, but there was a saying that spread:

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and one mansion... naturally, it cannot accommodate two "sparrows (magpies)".
