After she finished speaking, she threw the handkerchief far to the ground as if it were a hot potato.

The handkerchief was picked up from the ground by a guard beside her. After hearing what Sun Wanqing said just now, he was too cautious to unfold it to look at it. Instead, he crumpled it into a ball and asked the emperor and the prince for instructions.

"Take it to Doctor Li for examination." Li Junhao said to him.

Then, the handkerchief was brought to Doctor Li. Without any hesitation, he picked up the handkerchief and unfolded it to look at it.

On the porcelain-white handkerchief, a few words were embroidered crookedly with black silk thread, but they were not the characters of the Great Chu. They were characters that Imperial Doctor Li had never seen before.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Highness, they used a handkerchief like this to cast an illusion on Miss Sun, causing her to hit her head against the pillar in disobedience. However, this handkerchief was just a fuse. They must have instilled the method into Miss Sun's mind before the birthday banquet, and they were just waiting for this fuse to be triggered."

Doctor Li was very confident. He folded the handkerchief and placed it on the eunuch's tray, and asked them to present it to the Emperor and the Crown Prince.

"Damn it, it's really damnable. Check it out. Find out who is behind this, Yan Nangui." The emperor finally remembered Yan Nangui who was still standing in the last row and called him out.

"Your Majesty, I am Yan Nangui. I pay my respects to His Majesty." Yan Nangui stepped forward and was about to kneel to salute, but the emperor waved his hand to stop him.

"For all the things that happened today, I will give you three days. You must give me a satisfactory result, no matter what means you use."

"Yes, I obey your order." Yan Nangui knelt down and went to handle the case.

At the same time, he also took away the palace maid Ling'er and Tutor Sun's family. He also needed to know all of Miss Sun's whereabouts in recent days. In addition to handing her the handkerchief today, there must be someone who had already instilled the information into her before.

That person might be able to find more information.

Seeing that almost everyone had left, the emperor looked at Li Junhao with a face full of fatigue and helplessness.

It was a happy birthday party, but unexpectedly something like this actually happened. If she had not been prepared in advance, Miss Li might have really hit her head against the pillar and died.

"Well, everyone is tired today, let's go back and rest early," the emperor was unhappy, but he endured it and didn't show it.

"Father, don't be too sad. After all, it didn't cause any bad consequences. Tomorrow, Ze'er and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go together to comfort the Empress Dowager. She shouldn't be too angry." Li Junze stepped forward and carefully comforted the emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty, what happened today was beyond everyone's expectations. No one would have thought that someone would dare to do such a treasonous thing in the palace." Concubine Yu also followed her son to comfort the emperor.

The mother and son have always been like this, one is considerate and gentle, the other is sensible and well-behaved, it is hard for the emperor to dislike them.

But today, the emperor did not give them face. In front of all the concubines and princes, he waved at them and asked them all to leave without saying anything.

"Prince, is it really related to Prince An?" The emperor still couldn't believe it, but in fact, he already had the answer in his heart.

Li Junhao looked at the emperor's dejected expression and didn't want to rub salt into his wounds, so he could only reply, "It's not certain. We have to wait for the results of Lord Yan's interrogation in three days."

"Ah..." After hearing this, the emperor sighed deeply, "You should go back too. You should urge Yan Nan to return in the next two days."

"Yes." Li Junhao agreed and left the hall.

Eunuch Chengping looked at the emperor with some worry, but did not dare to step forward to comfort him.

"Chengping, do you think the third brother is the most like Zhen?" The emperor suddenly asked in a helpless voice, resting his hand on his forehead and leaning on the dragon throne.

Eunuch Chengping was so frightened that he didn't know how to respond.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince An is the most intelligent and sensible, and... like Your Majesty, he is very filial."

The emperor didn't believe his words at all, and he didn't even listen to them. He still murmured to himself, "I thought I had succeeded, but what a pity..."

Eunuch Chengping knew that the emperor was thinking about the past again. He opened his mouth but still said nothing. He just stood quietly behind the emperor and sighed softly in his heart.

After Li Junhao left the hall, he did not return to the East Palace, but took Sang Mo to the Dali Temple.

Yan Nangui was having someone set up the interrogation room. When he saw Li Junhao and the others coming, he walked up to him and saluted.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yan Nangui said in a low voice.

"Well, please stand up. I came here today to send someone to you." Li Junhao said as he asked Xuanjizi behind him to step forward.

Sang Mo quickly recounted the entanglement between Xuanjizi and Li Ma Ma, and also told Yan Nangui that both of them were masters of illusion, so they must be careful during the interrogation to find each other's way.

"Humph, just them?" Yan Nangui snorted disdainfully, "You see this interrogation room I set up, right? It's to prevent Nanny Li and the others from using illusions."

Sang Mo and Li Junhao looked around but didn't seem to see anything. Xuanjizi nodded and said, "Well, it seems that Lord Yan also knows something about illusion."

Yan Nangui shook his head. "In Mr. Bao's detective collection, there are two cases that are related to illusions, so I know a little about them."

"Well, in that case, I feel relieved. Sang Mo, let's go." After hearing what Yan Nangui said, Li Junhao had no intention of staying any longer and was about to leave with Sang Mo.

"Cough cough..." Yan Nangui suddenly made a few suspicious coughing sounds, causing the two of them to stop and look back at Yan Nangui.

However, Yan Nangui's face turned red, but he never said a word.

Sang Mo slapped his thigh again and said, "Master Yan, are you going to talk about the second part of Master Bao's detective collection?"

Yan Nangui nodded embarrassedly, "Your Highness, this..."

"Well, I just finished reading that book a few days ago. It's very interesting, but I forgot where I put it. After three days, when Lord Yan has concluded the case, I will ask Chief Sang to bring it to you."

Li Junhao was not surprised by the other party's request. He understood Yan Nangui's persistence in solving cases too well. When they didn't know each other, they had already heard about each other's stories.

Later, both of them went to the Imperial College to study. Both of them had cold personalities, but that did not prevent them from appreciating each other. Although they were not close friends, they had a close relationship.
