Looking at the unrecognizable Eunuch Xu, Mo Yun's face turned even colder.
Liu Rumei didn't hesitate either. She rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward.
Mo Litian followed closely behind, his gentle voice sounding slowly, "Eunuch Xu has grown up with Father since childhood. They have a deep bond."
Originally, he had intended to keep it from Mo Yun and report after he had investigated the matter clearly. But unexpectedly, he had bumped into the Emperor. So, he had no choice but to tell the truth!
Liu Rumei nodded indifferently. Her beautiful eyes fell on the body on the ground. She always felt something was strange. After a careful examination, her face suddenly showed a look of surprise. "Your Highness the Crown Prince, when did you find Eunuch Xu? Did anyone come here in the meantime?"
Seeing that she had also noticed something abnormal, Mo Litian's eyes also turned cold. "When I found Eunuch Xu, he had just jumped off the star - watching platform. Then he ended up like this. I specifically ordered that no one should get close at all!"
Hearing this, Liu Rumei couldn't help frowning. "One of Eunuch Xu's arms is missing. The wound should have been caused by some blunt object, as if it had been forcefully torn off!"
Mo Yun's face became even more embarrassed. Looking at the kneeling maid beside him, he said in a cold voice, "Why did Eunuch Xu come here!"
The maid was startled and quickly said, "This servant doesn't know. Please forgive this servant, Your Majesty!"
Another little eunuch trembled and said, "The eunuch said he had left something behind and came out to look for it. Who would have known..."
Who would have known that such a thing would happen.
Mo Liandi also said in a cold voice, "Did anyone watch him go up the star - watching platform? Was there anything strange?"
"This servant watched Eunuch Xu go up. There was nothing strange at all. Who would have known that the next moment Eunuch Xu just..." just fell down.
Mo Yun's expression turned even colder. His eyes were filled with coldness. His bond with Eunuch Xu was extraordinary! However, someone had brazenly committed murder in the palace!
Liu Rumei pursed her lips. Her hands kept moving as she said coldly, "So, he was killed on the star - watching platform!"
Mo Litian nodded. "I've also sent people to blockade this area!"
Liu Rumei nodded. Her eyes fell on Eunuch Xu's neck. Her pupils shrank. She immediately turned Eunuch Xu over.
Previously, Eunuch Xu had been facing down, and no one had seen clearly. But now it really shocked everyone. The timid ones even collapsed on the ground directly.
Eunuch Xu's facial expression was extremely distorted, as if he had been frightened by something. His pupils were wide - open, and his face was pale. Because he had fallen from the star - watching platform, and probably faced down, his face was smashed, looking even more terrifying.
Even Mo Yun couldn't help taking a step back. Mo Liandi and Mo Litian's expressions both changed.
Liu Rumei's indifferent voice slowly came, "The distorted face indicates that he must have suffered quite a shock!"
But her purpose was not here!
She reached out to untie Eunuch Xu's clothes, and her face turned even colder.
Seeing Liu Rumei's expression, everyone couldn't help taking another look and was shocked again.
Liu Rumei looked calm. "All four limbs are broken, including the head. The wounds are uneven. Except for the missing right hand, all of them were sewn up with silk thread! The time of death was within two hours!"
Mo Yun's face turned faintly pale. It was not clear whether he was angry or frightened. "In this matter, the murderer must be captured!"
Mo Litian nodded respectfully. "Yes!"
Mo Liandi stepped forward. Seeing Liu Rumei still busy with the body, her fair and slender hands groping around on the old eunuch's body, he felt a surge of uneasiness in his heart.
"Rumei, can you tell what caused the wounds?"
Liu Rumei shook her head. "No. The wounds are uneven, as if they were torn off by someone and then sewn up with silk thread. I can only guess it was a blunt object, but I'm not very sure."
Then, Liu Rumei stood up, saluted Mo Yun and said, "Your Majesty, may this humble woman go up and take a look?"
Mo Yun nodded. There was a bit of sadness in his eyes. "Go."
Mo Litian was just about to follow, but Mo Liandi took the lead. So, he could only stay where he was.
Liu Rumei lifted her skirt and climbed up the star - watching platform. Frowning, she said, "Eunuch Xu's time of death was within two hours, and the body was treated like this. I suspect that Eunuch Xu was actually dead a long time ago. But if so, who was the person who went up the star - watching platform?"
Could it be that Eunuch Xu had a twin brother?
This puzzled Liu Rumei greatly!
A bit of confusion also appeared in her eyes.
Mo Liandi also fell into deep thought. "If it's really as you said, this person must be able to perform some ingenious and sinister tricks to deceive others!"
Liu Rumei pursed her lips and said nothing. When she walked halfway and saw the stairs in front, she felt extremely annoyed in her eyes. Without an elevator, why build it so high?
Hearing Liu Rumei's slightly gasping breath, there was a bit of a smile in Mo Liandi's eyes. He stepped forward. When Liu Rumei wasn't paying attention, he picked her up horizontally and walked up.
Liu Rumei was startled and almost cried out.
"Rumei, don't be afraid. Don't let others see!" He actually didn't care. If others saw, he would just marry her back to his mansion. Anyway, his princess could only be her. He was just afraid that she wouldn't be willing.
The eunuch following Mo Liandi quickly lowered his head and pretended not to see.
Liu Rumei silently glanced at the people below who had become like tiny figures and wisely chose to keep quiet.
Seeing this, the expression in Mo Liandi's eyes became even softer. He carried her steadily onto the star - watching platform and then reluctantly let go of his hands.
"Rumei should eat more!" She was a bit too light!
Seeing that he wasn't out of breath at all, Liu Rumei couldn't help but nod. He had good physical strength!
The star - watching platform was not small, but there were no obstacles. A gentle breeze blew, making it extremely cool.
Liu Rumei walked in the direction where Eunuch Xu had fallen, but there were no traces at all. Her brows furrowed even more.
However, the only thing that could be determined was that Eunuch Xu definitely didn't fall accidentally!
Mo Liandi's expression remained unchanged. He stood indifferently beside Liu Rumei, looking down at Eunuch Xu's body. His eyes were filled with cold light. "It's absolutely impossible to sew up the limbs and the head in such a short time, unless Eunuch Xu was already dead and hidden on the star - watching platform. That person was not Eunuch Xu, nor did he come up to look for something he had left behind. Instead, he came up specifically to push Eunuch Xu's body down!"
Liu Rumei also nodded. "I think so too. Since the Crown Prince arrived early, it means that the murderer was still at the scene before he left! But how did he get down?"
Just now, the little eunuch had said that Eunuch Xu had come up alone! Wouldn't the murderer be exposed when he got down?
