Chapter 177 The rebellion of naughty children
“Secret room detective!?”

After Li Xuan saw Fang Bing’s handwriting clearly, he was surprised.

There is a brief introduction to the case, followed by the rules of today’s game.

It’s actually very simple to say, whoever can deduce the truth about the palace maid’s death first will win today.

“Emperor Yongyuan is really getting more and more perverted in his play!”

“Isn’t he afraid of scaring his children?”

“And the palace maid on the ground is not for today’s game…”

Li Xuan didn’t dare to think about it.

But then he realized that he was worrying too much.

After a brief panic, the princes and princesses immediately concentrated on reading the words on Fang Bing.

There were even some who moved quickly and had already stepped forward to inspect the body of the palace maid.

Even the princesses were like this, not shying away from the dead bodies at all, as if they were not the ones who screamed before.

“This……”

Li Xuan was a little speechless and didn’t know what to say to the reactions of the princes and princesses.

Even the young little beans were like this, and they started to look for clues happily.

It was as if what was on the ground was not a cold corpse at all, but just a toy that matched their game.

Such a scene made Li Xuan feel a little scared.

Li Xuan secretly raised his head to see Princess Ankang’s reaction and found that she was frowning and her eyes were filled with unbearable color.

Rather than the words on Fang Bing, her eyes rested more on the body of the palace maid on the ground.

But there was not too much fright in Princess Ankang’s eyes.

Perhaps the experience of seeing her mother-in-law die on the hospital bed made her no longer afraid of death.

“Your Highness, do we also want to go and check it out?”

Yu’er asked a little uneasily.

If it weren’t for today’s game, Yu’er wouldn’t want to push Princess Ankang to a corpse.

Princess Ankang withdrew her gaze and said lightly: “No, let’s take a look at the rules first.”

Princess Ankang looked at the handwriting on Fang Bing carefully.

Li Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn’t know what the prize was in this competition.

But for the first time, he didn’t want Princess Ankang to win.

“Emperor Yongyuan is also a pervert. He actually let his children compete with a corpse.”

“Even if it’s a detective story, there’s no need to be so real.”

Li Xuan shook his head, huddled in Princess Ankang’s arms, and observed the other people.

Someone was already trying to answer the question, and a little boy ran up to Zhao Feng, raised his hand and replied: “Mr. Zhao, I know how this palace maid died!”

“Oh?”

“Is His Highness the Eighteenth Prince ready to submit his answer?”

As he spoke, Zhao Feng took out a scroll and a writing brush, brought them to his mouth and breathed out.

“I would like to remind Your Highness that everyone has only one chance to submit their answer. Once it is recorded, there is no way to change it.”

“His Royal Highness the Eighteenth Prince, are you sure you want to submit your answer now?”

The Eighteenth Prince did not hesitate at all, nodded and said quickly: “Manager Zhao, I will submit the answer now, please record it for me.”

These words made the other princes and princesses look sideways, and they all looked at their young royal brother.

The Eighteenth Prince was known as a naughty kid, and they couldn’t believe that this kid had solved the puzzle in front of them so quickly.

Since the eighteenth prince was so insistent, Zhao Feng stopped trying to persuade him and was ready to record it.

“Old slave, you are ready. Your Highness, please speak.”

The eighteenth prince gave a mysterious dry cough, cleared his throat and submitted his answer.

“This palace maid is freezing to death!”

Zhao Feng’s eyes flashed upon hearing this, and when he looked at the eighteenth prince, he couldn’t help but smile.

“Your Highness, do you have anything else to add?”

The eighteenth prince waved his hand and flatly denied: “No, that’s it!”

“Okay, I’ve written down your highness’s answer.”

Zhao Feng replied seriously.

The other princes and princesses all laughed at the answer, but no one laughed at the answer. Instead, they looked at the eighteenth prince with playful eyes.

“Are you being clever?”

Everyone understood the little plan of the Eighteenth Prince.

I’m afraid that this naughty boy will not investigate the case next, but will cause trouble.

At a cursory glance, the cause of death of the palace maid is indeed obvious.

The [-]th Prince submitted his answer first. If there is no more detailed answer than his, then the [-]th Prince will have some chance of winning because of his advantage.

This chance of winning comes from the fact that others cannot come up with a better answer than him.

The eighteenth prince winked, and the attendant beside him immediately took action.

The eunuch suddenly took action and pushed down the ice cubes on the side.

These cubes of ice, cut into squares and neatly stacked, collapsed instantly and were about to hit the body of the palace maid.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, and had different evaluations of Xiao Douding.

I only thought of him as a naughty kid a few times before, but I didn’t expect that he turned out to be a bit quick-witted.

He knew that he couldn’t find anything by himself, so he prepared to make trouble with all his heart.

There was nothing written on Fang Bing that Zhao Feng had uncovered before that he couldn’t do this.

The eighteenth prince is not very old, but he can find his own way to win from the rules. It is really not easy.

Perhaps because he had defeated them twice before, Li Xuan had always had a low opinion of Princess Ankang’s brothers and sisters, but now it seems that they are not so unfavorable.

At least the little bean curd in front of me is interesting.

Seeing the ice cubes about to hit the palace maid’s body, the other princes and princesses smiled disdainfully.

“Eighteen, you will suffer a big loss if you look down on your brothers and sisters.”

Someone in the crowd said.

Then, several people stepped forward and picked up a large number of ice cubes one by one, without even one falling on the palace maid’s body.

After all, there were several princes and princesses gathered around the palace maid’s body to check, and it was impossible for their servants to watch their master in danger.

This time, each person can only bring one valet.

Therefore, they are all confidants among confidants, and it is necessary for them to have the cultivation level.

Even their mother-in-law specially brought the most loyal old slave around her to them.

Many princes and princesses were accompanied by old eunuchs who could not tell the difference, but from their cold eyes, it was not difficult to tell that they were ruthless characters.

There are even many familiar faces that Zhao Feng knows among them.

Eunuchs also have different promotion paths.

Someone like Zhao Feng, who grasps both cultivation and power, is naturally the most domineering.

But there are also some people who realize their shortcomings early and only focus on one aspect.

These eunuchs who were dedicated to martial arts found suitable masters early on and offered their loyalty in exchange for various resources for cultivation.

Although most of them are just reduced to the fate of becoming tools, they are also the most convenient tools in the hands of noble people, and they also have a considerable status.

No matter where you are, if you want to get ahead, you must either master specialized technology or control a large number of resources.If you have both, you will naturally be invincible.

Zhao Feng is now the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Didn’t he also start by managing one or two eunuchs?
When the Eighteenth Prince saw that his sneak attack was ineffective, he was not angry at all. He just smiled and raised his hands behind his head, showing a naughty smile.

It seemed that to him just now, asking his servants to knock off the ice was just a trivial matter.

You know, there were several of his brothers and sisters standing next to the palace maid’s body.

Princess Ankang frowned when she saw this scene.

After two consecutive losses, after getting space to perform, these royal scions showed their ruthless side.

Yu’er couldn’t help but pull Princess Ankang’s wheelchair and take two steps back, not wanting to get involved in the dispute between them.

The eighteenth prince was ridiculed and made his own rebuttal: “Who looks down on whom, it’s still uncertain.”

The surrounding ice blocks suddenly collapsed one after another, and more ice blocks hit the palace maid’s body.

If it was smashed into a solid piece, I’m afraid there would only be a piece of meat patty left for them to study.

“Eighteen, we agreed to split the rewards equally, but you can’t break your promise!”

“I want to call you Imperial Brother!” The Eighteenth Prince emphasized, and then continued: “Also, when did I lie to you!”

There was sudden chaos in the ice cellar, and the servants started fighting.

The other little beans gathered around the Eighteenth Prince, and it looked like they had formed an alliance at some point.

Li Xuan thought that these young guys were just here to join in the numbers and act as mascots.

But today it seems they are going to make a big fuss.

They only had an old eunuch left to symbolically protect them.

Even though they are all naughty kids, naughty kids also have their own wisdom.

They know that no one will actually harm their lives during the game, even if they have the intention, they don’t have the guts.

And if there is an accident, Zhao Feng will also protect them.

They took advantage of the naughty kid’s confidence to the extreme.

And to take advantage of this, they just need to make the situation as chaotic as possible.

In this way, no one can investigate with peace of mind. No matter how unreliable the eighteenth prince’s answers are, he will also be the biggest candidate for victory.

Others also saw the eighteenth prince’s plan and had different reactions.

Li Xuan huddled in Princess Ankang’s arms and watched the excitement from a distance.

The rules of today’s competition were relatively loose, and they were chosen in a relatively special location, which led to such a chaotic scene.

As the referee, Zhao Feng had no intention of stopping them. He used Qinggong to jump onto the square ice with the words engraved on it.

There is one rule on the square ice. You are not allowed to damage this square ice, otherwise you will be directly disqualified from the competition.

Therefore, to a certain extent, that cube of ice is the only safe zone in the ice cellar.

All of a sudden, the ice cubes in the ice cellar continued to break, ice shards flew, and it was a mess.

But the little cubs are just little cubs after all. Even if they are held in a group, they are not big enough to see.

“Suppress them!”

Regardless of whether they were targeted from the beginning or those who were on the sidelines, they all sent out their own servants to suppress the servants on Xiaodouding’s side.

It would not do them any good to keep the situation in such chaos, and it would also waste precious time. If possible clues were destroyed, it would be even more troublesome.

Winning the game is important.

But how to win the game is more important.

They believed that Zhao Feng would report every game process.

Emperor Yongyuan probably had to praise the little bean sprouts for winning so well.

But if they, the princes who are about to come of age, do this, they will probably miss out on the throne for the rest of their lives.

They need to win the game while showing their abilities as much as possible.

Especially the eldest prince, who likes to follow rules, hates the chaos in front of him.

He immediately joined forces with others to initiate the expulsion of the little Doudings.

“I’ll drive everyone out if they don’t investigate the case properly!”

The eldest prince’s appeal was immediately echoed by others.

Except for those who didn’t care much about the outcome like the three little ones and concentrated on watching the excitement, everyone participated.

The Little Beans’ expectations were wonderful, but the reality was too cruel.

After only a quarter of an hour of commotion, the ice cellar returned to calm.

Little Douding and their injured servants were all kicked out of the ice cellar and were not allowed to enter again.

The eldest prince teamed up with others and set a rule not to disrupt the scene again. If anyone violated it, they would join forces to expel them.

This proposal was approved by most people.

After all, they all want to use their own abilities to deduce the truth.

The eldest prince sent his own servant to guard the iron door of the ice cellar.

The little cubs outside could not push it open with their own strength. As for the injured servants, they did not dare to approach the guarded iron gate.

As the iron door was slammed shut, the noisy voices of the little beans were completely cut off.

Quietness finally returned to the ice cellar, but it was a lot more chaotic than before.

But fortunately, the palace maid’s body was not destroyed.

“This eldest prince does have some authority.”

Li Xuan looked at the eldest prince, remembering the expulsion operation he organized earlier, and nodded secretly.

Moreover, he dared to send out the close attendants around him, which seemed to be quite confident in his own strength.

At this time, Princess Ankang suddenly touched Li Xuan’s head and whispered in his ear: “Axuan, did you see the ice at the feet of Manager Zhao?”

Princess Ankang stared at the square ice with writing on it, looking mysterious.

“The secret of this game is hidden there.”

Princess Ankang sounded proud and showed a confident smile.

Li Xuan was stunned, looked at the square ice, and read the writing on it carefully, but found nothing wrong.

“Meow?”

Li Xuan raised his head and uttered a question.

“Hehe, you can’t guess.”

Princess Ankang just smiled and still kept it secret.

Seeing Princess Ankang and Li Xuan murmuring, Yu’er also pricked up her ears curiously.

Seeing that Yu’er was also curious, Princess Ankang pulled her to her side, grabbed one of Yu’er’s fingers, and then slowly started writing on Li Xuan’s back.

Li Xuan and Yu’er both concentrated on seeing what Princess Ankang wanted to write.

Princess Ankang wrote very slowly, making it easy for Li Xuan and Yu’er to distinguish the first word.

“Grasp.”

Li Xuan and Yu’er both looked up at Fang Bing at the feet of General Manager Zhao, and found this word.

Then Princess Ankang continued to write a few words on Li Xuan’s back one after another.

“Whoever catches the real culprit wins!”

Thanks to “Angel Loves Joking” for the reward support.

Thank you all book friends for your monthly support.
