In fact, the sandalwood box in front of the emperor was indeed a return gift prepared by Mei Wen'er herself, and Ye Chenfeng didn't even know what was in it.
However, He Huicong still suggested vigilantly: "Your Majesty, let your subordinates open it first, and then you can take a look?"
The emperor did not refuse, but when He Huicong opened the sandalwood box, it was empty!?
"this……"
He Huicong was dumbfounded.
"..."
The emperor also fell silent.
After a while...
He then laughed at himself and said: "She is mocking me. She is trying to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain."
Although He Huicong thought so in his heart, he did not dare to accept the words. After checking the sandalwood box, he resigned first.
The emperor didn't let him stay. After he left the palace, the emperor touched the sandalwood box and asked, "Are you so dead-set?"
The emperor at this moment still didn't know why things failed, but he knew that the other chess piece would definitely not come back.
"What a pity for a human skin mask," the emperor sighed and was about to close the sandalwood box.
An imperceptible ray of golden light penetrated into his fingertips, causing him to feel a slight tingling sensation! He immediately shouted, "Send the imperial doctor!"
"Yes!" He Huicong immediately ordered someone to pass the message, and he quickly returned to the palace, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the box?"
The emperor, who had retracted his hand, was looking at his fingertips, but found nothing wrong, which made him frown.
"Your Majesty?" He Huicong was a little anxious. Everyone had already stepped forward to check the sandalwood box again.
The emperor didn't stop him, but He Huicong touched and touched again and again, but couldn't find anything wrong with the sandalwood box!
"Does it feel like being pricked by acupuncture?" the emperor asked.
"No." He Huicong answered and asked, "Your Majesty, can you smash it?"
"...Yes." The emperor nodded.
He Huicong immediately opened the wooden box, but found no problem.
After the imperial doctor came, he could not diagnose anything wrong with the emperor. He also looked at the wooden box and found that there was nothing wrong with it.
The emperor felt uneasy and asked: "Could it be a poison that is not easy to detect?"
"Can Wei Chen be allowed to take it back and identify it carefully?" the imperial doctor asked cautiously.
The emperor did not refuse, but also warned: "Come over every day from now on to check whether you are poisoned. Go ahead."
The imperial doctor immediately accepted the order and left with a serious look on his face. He was trained by the Queen Mother, so he naturally regarded the Emperor as his top priority.
However, Ye Zhao's news soon reached him, and Ye Chenfeng, who had just rushed back to the mansion, heard, "I'm cautious."
"Your Majesty, what's the mystery behind the wooden box given by the Queen?" Yun Zhong couldn't help but ask.
But he received a cold glance from Ye Chenfeng, "Don't ask around about Master's affairs."
Yun Zhong immediately admitted his mistake with numbness, "My subordinate is wrong!"
"How was the trial of the pretender?" Ye Chenfeng asked.
"The Lord Guan is still reviewing it, but there is no result yet. He is very harsh."
Just as he was saying this, Guan Feng walked out in a serious manner, with a strong smell of blood on his body!
Ye Chenfeng narrowed his dark eyes slightly and asked, "Recruited?"
"Yes." Guan Feng clenched his fist and said, "He was originally a spy from the Shen Dynasty. He suddenly received an order and cooperated with me now. I can't find out the rest because he is already dead."
"How are masks made?"
"It's different from Xiaohua's. It's made of human skin! It lasts a long time. My lord, everyone around you must be on guard against it in the future."
Guan Feng has personally studied the mask, and it is very delicate! When applied on a person's face, there is almost no strange feeling, and it can be used all the time.
Ye Chenfeng listened in his heart and nodded: "You have to be careful, these two are probably teaming up."
"My subordinate is incompetent and couldn't ask more questions. I don't know how many accomplices she has."
"The dead soldiers are always tough-talking. It's normal that you can't ask. Go and change your clothes. The Duke is still waiting for you."
"Yes! I'm resigning." Guan Feng then retreated to bathe and change clothes.
Ye Chenfeng returned to the backyard. As soon as he entered the hall, he heard the two children saying "bah" and "aah".
There was a commotion at the banquet, and even the little girl became energetic and was talking to her brother. The two of them chatted one after another.
Ye Chenfeng felt his heart warm when he heard, "What are you talking about? Are you talking so enthusiastically?"
"Ah?" When she heard her father's voice, the little girl immediately turned her head and looked over.
"Ah!" Xiao Chongli kicked his legs and wanted to get up, but he turned over and lay there, unable to hold himself up.
Ye Chenfeng was amused and immediately picked up the two children and sat next to Mei Wen'er, "I've worked hard on you these past few days."
Xiao Ruan, who was helping Mei Wen'er beat her legs, immediately stepped back and left the palace, closing the door considerately.
"Ah~" Xiao Chongli seemed to smell the fragrance of milk and was already rubbing it against her mother.
Mei Wen'er hugged him over, and then said angrily: "Next time we hold such an urgent banquet, I won't do it!"
"According to you, I'll never do it again." Ye Chenfeng didn't plan to do anything big at first. It was all the fault of his imperial brother. "What did you give him?"
"Secret." Mei Wen'er, who was a little aching, leaned into the arms of a certain regent and said, "How is the fake trial going?"
Ye Chenfeng told Guan Feng one by one, and also made a summary, "Zhan Zun wants to use the emperor's brother as a pawn to have another fight with this king."
"Then you have to be careful. He is a very mysterious person. If he is really behind His Majesty's back, my plan may not come true." Mei Wen'er said not very confidently.
"What is your plan?" Ye Chenfeng asked curiously, knowing that it must be related to the box.
Mei Wen'er didn't give in anymore, "I want to plant a voodoo on him. There is Chong Chong's saliva in the box. After entering his body, it will gradually grow into a voodoo controlled by Chong Chong."
"...can you control him?" Ye Chenfeng asked with some fright.
Mei Wen'er shook her head, "No, but we can let him die at any time, but Zen Master may not be able to notice it."
"It doesn't matter, others in the divine dynasty cannot control it so finely." Ye Chenfeng was not worried.
From the divine capital of the divine dynasty to the capital at night, even if you travel lightly, you have to travel under the stars for more than a month.
If there is a heavy baggage, it is common to travel for half a year. Businessmen traveling to and from the Western Regions basically pack it once a year. If there is a war, they may not be able to return in two or three years.
Mei Wen'er knew this and felt relieved, "I hope so."
"It doesn't matter even if he misses, he will die sooner or later!" Ye Chenfeng was very confident. He had ordered Yin Chen to secretly investigate those past events.
The more things that appear on the surface now, the more conducive it is for Yinchen to investigate secretly! However, it has been a long time, and the witnesses are scattered in various places. It is not easy to find them one by one.
But Ye Chenfeng is very patient, he is not in a hurry, but...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Duke and his family would like to see you." Yun Zhong had already announced outside the palace.
Mei Wen'er knew as soon as she heard this that this was for today's matter, and she got up immediately. She also wanted to meet that Qiao Xinyue!
