Ling Yu and the others stayed on this platform that night and continued to study how to get in.

Everyone thought they would go back tomorrow and raced against time. They didn't want to sleep and stayed up late studying.

It's just that no matter how hard everyone tries, they can't find a way to get in.

Lu Nan even used his sword to pry it open, but his sharp sword could not leave a mark on the door.

Seeing that it was daybreak, Ling Yu saw that he had gained nothing after staying up all night, so he said: "Forget it, stop the team, let's go down the mountain!"

She was afraid that if she was delayed any longer, Xiao Lintian was worried about her safety and came to find her personally.

Everyone gave up in despair.

When the group returned to the water pool, Ling Yu saw the colorful flowers.

She suddenly thought that she had found Lan Huijuan's iron box in a pool in space. Could it be that there were good things in the pool?

"Lu Nan, take your people and retreat fifty meters. I want to go into the water and have a look!"

Ling Yu was about to send Lu Nan's people out when he heard the sound of bamboo whistles in the distance. The whistles were long and short, and Ling Yu was stunned for a moment. This was a signal from the secret guard standing guard in the distance, which represented the dense forest.

An uninvited guest came from the depths.

Ling Yu immediately gave up the plan to explore the pool and ordered: "Evacuate first! Come back later!"

As a group, they quickly moved closer to the hidden guard. Before they got close, they heard another bamboo whistle, this time one long and one short, which meant they were one of their own and there was an emergency.

Did something happen in the palace?

Ling Yu was worried. If something urgent hadn't happened, how could someone come to this deep mountain to look for her.

But Ling Yu and the others just walked down, not seeing the height of the waterfall at all. A pair of eyes hid in the darkness, watching the group leave.

Ling Yu quickened his pace, and the secret guard over there also rushed over with the messenger. In less than a stick of incense, the two parties met on the mountain road.

When Ling Yu saw that the person who came to report the news was Xiao Lintian's sword-carrying guard Yu Hao, she was startled and asked anxiously: "What happened? Is it the emperor..."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager passed away last night! I have been entrusted by the Emperor to ask your Majesty to go back and preside over the funeral as soon as possible..."

"What?"

Ling Yu was so shocked that she couldn't believe her ears. Even counting today, she had been out for four days.

Before she came out, she also gave the Queen Mother a physical examination. Unexpectedly, just four days later, the Queen Mother died!

"How is this possible? How did the Empress Dowager die?"

Ling Yu was worried and asked anxiously as she walked: "Is it poisoning?"

When Zhao Ruirui entered the palace that day, she felt uneasy. Could it be that she was poisoned by Zhao Ruirui?

But she, Aunt Wei, Lingxuan and the others carefully inspected the places Zhao Ruirui had come into contact with, and found nothing unusual!

"The emperor has ordered Tang Ti to check them, and no abnormalities were found!"

"Tang Tiedian said that the Queen Mother should have died suddenly of heart failure!"

Yu Hao explained to Ling Yu as he walked.

Heart failure?

The way the Empress Dowager died was similar to that of Emperor Wu'an.

But before, Ling Yu asked the Empress Dowager and Xiao Lintian to explain to the officials this way because they could not find out the real cause of Emperor Wu'an's death.

Now it's the same cause of death again, which makes Ling Yu depressed. What did Zhao Ruirui do to cause the sudden death of the Empress Dowager?

"Has Zhao Ruirui entered the palace these two days?" Ling Yu asked.

"Even Concubine Shao didn't get close to the Empress Dowager before entering the palace!"

Yu Hao is Xiao Lintian's confidant, so he naturally knows why Ling Yu asked this.

Ling Yu was speechless. The two biggest suspects had never been close to the Empress Dowager, but that didn't mean they couldn't let others manipulate her.

Without personally inspecting the body of the Empress Dowager, Ling Yu could not determine the real cause of the Empress Dowager's death. She could only wait until she returned to the palace to investigate.

But she firmly believed that the Queen Mother's death was definitely not sudden and natural, and it must have something to do with Zhao Ruirui...
