Sheng Susu rolled her eyes, raised her feet and walked towards the gate, leaving behind a tough and cold back.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yunqi's handsome face froze for a moment.

Looking at the woman's back, he sighed slightly and followed, saying with a good temper, "I'll go with you."

On the other side, there were many yamen runners standing on both sides of the gate of Pan Hou’s mansion, and it was obvious that the people from the government had arrived.

Since the incident happened to Pan Hou's Mansion and the deceased was the prince, Jingzhao Yin came to inquire about the situation in person.

However, Mr. Pan fell ill because he lost his only beloved son and could only rest in bed.

At this time, in the spacious main hall, the old housekeeper of the Hou Mansion was telling Jingzhaoyin what happened last night.

"Mr. Xu, late last night, a servant heard that he had left the water and ran out quickly, but he saw a fire in the study."

Lord Xu thought for a moment and asked, “Who was the first person to find out that water was in the study?”

"Sir, it's the princess." The old housekeeper answered truthfully, his face full of pain. "When the servant arrived, he saw the princess lying on the ground and said he was about to give birth."

"Where is the princess now?"

Speaking of this, the housekeeper sighed, "Oh, the princess gave birth to a child last night. We waited for her to recover for a while before telling the prince's news that something happened to the prince. As a result, the princess was mentally broken and was in a very bad condition now."

Lord Xu nodded and then asked, "So, when is the time to go to the water?"

The housekeeper roughly calculated and replied, "It's probably ugly."

"Oh? It's so late that Prince Pan is still in the study, but some people know what he was doing at that time?"

The housekeeper sighed again when he heard this, "I went out during the day yesterday. As for when I would go back to my house, no one knew. It seemed that I was afraid of disturbing the princess, so I went to the study to sleep quietly. We asked the princess, and the princess also said that I didn't know when the princess returned to my house. As a result, I never expected that the study room would actually catch fire. Alas——"

"Go back late, go to the study to sleep..." Lord Xu thought for a moment and asked again, "Does this happen often?"

"That's not. When the servant went in to put out the fire last night, he found that the prince was actually in the study!"

Speaking of this, the pain on the butler's face deepened. "Everyone was frightened and quickly put out the fire, but the prince seemed to be too drunk and didn't respond no matter how he shouted. The servant tried his best to drag him out, but found that he had already..."

Lord Xu frowned and asked, "What is the state of the prince when the servant went in?"

"This..." The housekeeper suddenly said in a mess, "The fire and smoke in the study were too big, and the servants couldn't see it too much, so they saw the prince lying there motionlessly."

Lord Xu nodded, "Just ask so much first. Please convey my greetings to the old marquis and ask him to express his grief."

When Sheng Susu and Feng Yunqi came outside the main hall, they just happened to hear the conversation inside.

Seeing that the servant was about to report, Sheng Susu immediately raised his hand to stop him. He listened quietly, but the suspicion in his beautiful eyes gradually deepened.

Just as Lord Xu finished asking questions and was about to take people away, Sheng Susu spoke out.

"Let's wait!"

When the people inside heard the sound, they found that King Shu and Princess Shu had arrived at some point. They were all shocked and hurriedly saluted and greeted him respectfully.

Sheng Susu waved his hand, and then briefly expressed his intention and thoughts. "I heard that there was an accident in the Hou's Mansion, so I came to express my condolences. I happened to hear some words and felt that there were many suspicions in this matter."

Lord Xu and the old housekeeper both showed doubts.

Seeing this, Feng Yunqi didn't plan to explain, and said firmly, "I have taken over this matter."

He had just seen Sheng Susu showing suspicion on his face. Although he had not communicated with her yet, he believed her.

Since she felt something was suspicious, he would help her check it out.

Lord Xu was shocked when he heard this, "Your Majesty wants to... handle this matter personally?"

As far as he knows, King Shu should not bother to meddle in such idiots.

Besides, I have never heard of King Shu having a good relationship with the Pan family before...

Lord Xu could not figure out what Feng Yunqi's move was for, but Feng Yunqi was not ready to solve his doubts.

"Yes, the government doesn't have to worry about it anymore. With the result, I will notify you. Submit the record book you just asked to me."

Feng Yunqi's words were unquestionable, and there was a hint of impatience. Coupled with his innate nobility and arrogance, people couldn't help but want to retreat.

Lord Xu trembled all over when he heard this, and quickly nodded and agreed, "Okay, okay, then I'll trouble the prince!"
