It was not completely bright in the early morning, and ten hours had passed since Xia Jueming died.

Suddenly, in the East Palace, Li Yunxing's personal eunuch sent a message in the middle of the night, saying that the imperial doctor ordered Bai Jiezi to see him in an emergency.

Li Yunxing frowned, why did the imperial doctor come to visit late at night? It happened to be at such a sensitive moment.

In fact, the guards did not want to pass the news at first. After all, it was already past the ugly time. If it disturbed the prince's rest, they were also worried about moving his head.

But Bai Jiezi said that he had important clues about the murder, and they couldn't afford to miss the opportunity.

Seeing that Bai Jiezi looked confident, the guards did not dare to hide it and had no choice but to pass the news into the East Palace.

Fortunately, the whole palace was not peaceful tonight, and even His Royal Highness, who always had a good rest, had not turned off the lights.

"Let him wait."

Li Yunxing wiped his face to wipe away the fatigue all over his body.

If someone dares to commit an assassination in the palace, there may be a murderer lurking in the palaces and bedrooms of other concubines in the harem!

Li Yunxing's vigilance became even higher.

He didn't know whether the murderer would choose to attack in the dead of night, or whether the murderer would be able to evade the search by the Imperial Guards.

Therefore, he did not dare to sleep all night, fearing that others might take advantage of him.

Seeing Li Yunxing walking in with a tired look on his face, Bai Jiezi quickly saluted him.

"The humble minister Bai Jiezi, please see His Royal Highness the Prince."

Li Yunxing passed him and sat directly on the chair.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

His tone was a bit unkind.

Bai Jiezi smiled bitterly in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

"Wei Chen just discovered something unusual among the corpses of several people, so he came immediately to report to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Yunxing stood up immediately after hearing this and asked impatiently: "What's abnormal?"

"These people are the imperial guards of the East Palace..." Bai Jiezi carefully observed his expression.

Before he finished speaking, he was forced to stop by Li Yunxing's fierce gaze, which made him tremble unconsciously.

"Tell the important point!"

"One of them is a eunuch."

Li Yunxing's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Bai Jiezi hurriedly explained: "The one on the top floor that was badly burned among these corpses. The subordinate felt something was strange, so he had the corpse examined, and finally found that the corpse was that of an eunuch."

Li Yunxing's face became increasingly ugly.

Eunuch?!

The Imperial Guards of the capital were subordinate to the military attachés. In order to ensure the safety of the imperial city, they did not perform cleansing procedures, and the same was true for the Prince's Mansion.

Therefore, the imperial guards in the Prince's Mansion cannot be eunuchs!

Bai Jiezi continued: "So I boldly speculated that the person who carried out the assassination was one of the Imperial Guards. After completing the murder mission, he disguised himself as a eunuch and escaped!"

Hearing this sentence, Li Yunxing's expression changed.

If this is the case, then the target of the search will be much clearer.

"In addition, I suspect that there must be a spy around His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Yunxing's expression became increasingly gloomy, "What are your assumptions?"

Bai Jiezi continued his analysis: "Because after I conducted an autopsy, I found that the wounds on several corpses were shallow and shallow, and the directions of force were completely different. From a certain angle, it can be judged that there were at least two people."

"One person can disguise himself, and the other person..."

Bai Jiezi did not finish what he said, but he believed that Li Yuncong was not stupid and would naturally understand.

"You go back first, and if this matter is verified to be correct, I will give you a heavy reward!"

Bai Jiezi smiled slightly, his eyes full of shrewdness, "Thank you, Your Highness, and I will resign."

He knew that he made the right bet.

After Bai Jiezi left, Li Yunxing's expression gradually became distorted.

He suddenly raised his hand and slapped the table. The table shook a few times, and the tea cups on it fell to the ground.

There were a few crisp "pat-ta-ta-ta" sounds, and the fine blue and white porcelain fell into pieces.

"Come here!" Li Yunxing shouted sharply.

Now most of the Imperial Guards in the East Palace have been sent out to clear out the harem, and the few remaining guarding the palace gate immediately ran in after hearing the sound.

"Your Highness the Prince!"

Li Yunxing's eyes were icy cold, revealing bloodthirsty cruelty. He stared at the leading Imperial Guards, "I order you to summon all the Imperial Guards to wait at the Meridian Gate immediately. I want to be executed at the Meridian Gate!"

"Yes!" The Imperial Guard did not dare to say more.

Now that Li Yunxing's expression was too terrifying, they could only do as he was told.

The Meridian Gate was originally used to interrogate those who had made mistakes or those who openly rebelled.

It was the middle of the night, and everything was quiet. Except for the occasional soldiers patrolling by, there was no trace of anyone.

At three o'clock in the morning, the Meridian Gate is closed.

Three thousand Imperial Guards stood within the Meridian Gate, no one dared to move, and no one even breathed heavily.

This execution was carried out by the prince himself, so no soldier dared to slack off.

At dawn, Li Yunxing arrived outside the Meridian Gate on time.

He was wearing a dark purple python robe, a jade belt around his waist, a golden crown on his head, and a stern look on his face.

Li Yunxing stood with his hands behind his back, standing in front of three thousand forbidden troops, looking majestic and majestic.

When Li Yunxing appeared, all three thousand Imperial Guards fell to their knees.

"Welcome to His Majesty the Crown Prince!"

Li Yunxing waved his hand and motioned for them to get up.

He glanced around and said in a deep voice: "Today, I will be here to punish the traitors!"

His tone was indifferent and distant, and the three thousand Imperial Guards kept silent in tacit agreement.

"Someone, bring him up."

After a while, several eunuchs dragged a man with disheveled hair and messy clothes approaching.

The man's hands were tied behind his back, and he groaned in pain as he was being dragged.

When he raised his head, all the Imperial Guards were greatly surprised.

"Isn't this Commander Lou Wei Bolou? Why is he here?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he wanted to kill the traitor. Could it be that the traitor is Commander Lou?"

Everyone was talking about it, and they all looked in disbelief.

All these words were heard by Li Yunxing, but he didn't react at all.

Li Yunxing snorted coldly and said coldly to Lou Weibo: "Lou Weibo, you are so brave!"

"You actually dare to have an affair with Xia Jueming and try to assassinate me. You deserve to die! Someone, drag Lou Weibo down and behead him!"

Following Li Yunxing's order, two strong men rushed forward and held Lou Weibo down.

Li Yunxing walked towards him step by step, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"Uncle Lou Wei, Uncle Lou Wei, after all your calculations, you didn't make it to this point!"

Lou Weibo tried his best to struggle, but his arms were firmly grasped and he could not move at all.

He turned his head to look at Li Yunxing with difficulty, his eyes filled with resentment and fear: "It doesn't matter if I did it, if you can, just kill me!"

"Hehehe..."

Li Yunxing raised his head and laughed, "I will naturally kill you, but I won't let you die so happily! I will make your life worse than death!"

There was a look of despair in Lou Weibo's eyes, but it soon turned into strong resentment.
Chapter completed!
