In front of the bed, a tiny footprint caught Liu Yidou's attention.
This place is slightly sunken. If Liu Yidou hadn't swept it with his palm, he would never have noticed it easily!
After hearing Liu Yidou's words, Cao Ying slowly walked forward. When he came to Liu Yidou's side, Liu Yidou was already squatting down, picking up white ash from the wall, and scattering it where he found the footprints.
A clear footprint appeared in front of the two of them.
When Cao Ying saw this, he didn't show any surprise. He just nodded calmly.
"Father-in-law, look... could these footprints be left by the murderer?"
Liu Yidou turned around and spoke deliberately.
When Cao Ying heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "The footprints are hidden very deep. Without careful investigation, you will never be able to find them. Being able to find this is enough to prove your strength!"
"However, your judgment was somewhat wrong!"
"These footprints were not left by the murderer, but by the dead steward...Liu Yidou, now that you know so much, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Liu Yidou couldn't help but fall into deep thought. When he raised his head again, a golden light burst out from his pupils.
"Eunuch Cao, I suspect...this is not the first scene where the steward was killed. Look at these footprints, they are steady and powerful. If they were left by the collision between the deceased and his opponent, it would definitely not look like this!"
"So I suspect that it is very likely that the supervisor discovered the murderer's traces and left these footprints when he chased him!"
"The place of death of that general manager is probably somewhere else... But if you want to find it, I'm afraid you will have to dig through the entire Tongque Terrace."
"Especially the cabinet, we must not let go of any corner!"
When Liu Yidou finished speaking, his eyes showed a bit of solemnity.
After hearing this analysis, Cao Ying couldn't help but nod, and kept praising Liu Yidou's words: "Sure enough, he is not someone I can like. This kind of thinking is far beyond ordinary people!"
"Huang Xuan, your opinion is consistent with mine. However, because of the retreat, I don't have time to investigate all of this. The rest of the matter can only be done by yourself!"
Seeing that Liu Yidou's performance had already met his expectations, Cao Ying did not forget to warn him when he nodded.
"Huang Xuan, the matter about that feather is a huge crisis for me. Now I must seize the time and retreat as much as possible."
"But there are some things that we can only talk about privately. In fact, the so-called murderer is not important to me at all. The main reason why I asked you to investigate this matter is to take this opportunity to find someone for me! "
In the attic, Cao Ying lowered her tone and told Liu Yidou the secret behind the matter.
"There is a person in this cabinet that I have always suspected to be sent by His Majesty's opponent!"
"You take this opportunity to collect as many clues as possible from all the managers. If you find any doubts, keep them in your mind for the time being and let me know when I get out of seclusion!"
"Remember, the so-called test is just an excuse. Investigation in secret is what you should do most."
"You have to be careful, this undercover agent might attack you, so I suggest that you'd better stay in the outer cabinet when nothing happens. According to regulations, eunuchs in the cabinet cannot go out. For your small role, that guy shouldn't Leave here at the risk of exposure."
Old fox, you killed me this time!
Hearing what Cao Ying said, on the surface, Liu Yidou nodded in agreement, but secretly, he was cursing.
He originally thought that his rise to power was due to Cao Ying's assistance.
But now it seems that the reason why Cao Ying arranged for herself to sit in such a position was simply to cultivate herself into a puppet.
More importantly, Cao Ying deliberately concealed it until he was sure of his own strength, and then he told the truth.
And this approach made Liu Yidou wonder whether this old fox was hiding something behind his back?
The originally safe investigation turned out to be a bit of a life and death crisis at this moment, and Liu Yidou couldn't help but be frightened.
"Father, don't worry!"
But Liu Yidou was full of reluctance. In front of Cao Ying, he finally pinched his nose, showed a loyal look, and happily confirmed this statement!
…
At sunset, Liu Yidou finally finished dealing with Cao Ying and returned to his courtyard.
What surprised Liu Yidou was that he saw a familiar figure in the courtyard.
In the past, Chen Shangxiang, who stayed in the attic all day long, never leaving even half a step away, now came to the courtyard.
But I saw this empress holding a showerhead, standing in front of the garden, looking at the gorgeous flowers in front of her, with a smile on her lips.
Compared with his usual melancholy personality, Chen Shangxiang's mentality at the moment has obviously improved a lot.
The moment she saw Liu Yidou, a bright smile appeared on Chen Shangxiang's face, and when it fell into Liu Yidou's eyes, he looked back with a smile full of charm.
"Eunuch Huang, are you back?"
With a bit of shyness, Chen Shangxiang waved his hand at Liu Yidou, and then quickly put down the bucket, as if shy, and walked towards the attic.
When Liu Yidou saw this, his mind moved.
Throughout the entire process last night, Liu Yidou was in a state of chaos. The only thing he could feel was the heat in his body and the coldness in his arms.
Compared with his previous experiences with other ladies, such a different feeling brought Liu Yidou a strange excitement.
At this moment, seeing Chen Shangxiang again, Liu Yidou couldn't help but think of last night's experience.
Most of the unhappiness in my heart dissipated at this moment.
Instead, I felt a bit impulsive.
"Mother, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Seeing Chen Shangxiang's figure disappearing from sight, Liu Yidou murmured and hurriedly chased away.
After arriving in the room, he saw that Chen Shangxiang had returned to the bed.
From a distance, he looked at himself with blazing eyes!
"Mother... are you tired?"
Liu Yidou had nothing to say and slowly walked forward.
The Chen Shangxiang in front of him was like a tempting cake in Liu Yidou's eyes at this moment.
Seeing that the other party had been placed on the dining table, Liu Yidou only thought about how to taste it.
But what Liu Yidou didn't expect was that Chen Shangxiang opposite him was obviously more enthusiastic than himself.
When Liu Yidou walked three steps in front of Chen Shangxiang, he saw Chen Shangxiang turn over and twist his waist.
The next second, Liu Yidou was directly pressed on the bed!
"Empress, you..."
Seeing Chen Shangxiang taking such initiative, Liu Yidou couldn't help but be surprised.
But before he could finish speaking, Chen Shangxiang had already leaned down and blocked Liu Yidou's mouth with his red lips.
