It was a pen holder made of white jade, with a hollow bamboo leaf pattern on the barrel.

It was placed on the upper shelf of the bookshelf with great care, and there was a wooden door blocking the shelf. If she hadn't looked at Yifan, Shuli wouldn't have seen it.

She took down the pen holder and saw the seal at the bottom, which was the seal of the former prince.

What was inside was not a pen, but small notes stacked one after another.

Shu Li sat on the chair in front of the table and opened it one by one.

She picked them up casually, so the order is not connected, but after looking at them, it is not difficult to find that this is a poor little girl.

When the former prince passed away, Princess Chaoyang was only a ten-year-old child. It was the former prince who asked for the emperor's favor for her when he was dying.

But in these years, she only had superficial respect.

Behind her back, she didn't have even one friend with whom she could talk heart-to-heart. Everyone around her was the eyes and ears of the emperor or others.

Even if Chaoyang makes a casual remark, she will be reported to more than a dozen people every day, which makes her more and more withdrawn and her temperament becomes unstable.

So this pen holder is full of words Chaoyang wrote to the former prince when he couldn't bear it anymore.

After reading, Shu Li put everything back one by one, and then she looked at the books beside her in silence.

That was a detail that Shu Li hadn't noticed just now.

The ink on the table has not completely solidified, the ink on the brush nearby has not been washed away, and the paperweight on the table is placed in an unusual position.

Shu Li found a half-written note in those books, which said: If this is what you want, I will do my best to help you...

This is all the information found at Chaoyang's residence.

Almost immediately, Shuli received her personal time.

[You discovered from the details that the Ninth Prince after his serious illness has many similarities with the former Crown Prince. Later, he admitted to you that he was the long-dead former prince. The purpose of his coming this time was not told to you, but you thought it was to seize the heir, so you made up your mind to help him accomplish this purpose. 】

[You know the character of several princes, and you also know that the biggest resistance is the second prince who has been helpful in the previous harem, so you plan to poison the emperor's birthday banquet and frame the blame on the second prince, so that he can bear the blame for his father's murder in public. crime. As a result, before the birthday banquet started, Prince Lu assassinated the emperor on the pretext of revenge for his father, and he succeeded. 】

[You are worried that someone will use this to help the second prince ascend to the throne, so you plan to get rid of him first so that the ninth prince can have the possibility of ascending the throne. 】

[At 9:10, when you left your palace, you happened to meet the second prince who personally led people to interrogate the palace people. You did not choose to implement your plan directly, but turned around and went back to get the bag of poison, then followed the second prince and his party, and followed secretly. 】

[At 9:35, the second prince shunned the people behind him and turned into the rockery of the Imperial Garden alone. You followed him secretly, only to find that the other party was actually meeting with Chen Zhuangyuan who was beside the Sixth Prince. 】

[You heard Chen Zhuangyuan say that the sixth prince knew who was the emperor’s chosen prince, and that person was not the second prince. You saw the look of horror on the second prince's face and knew that the other prince had murderous intentions. You didn't hear Chen Zhuangyuan say who the chosen prince was, but you decided to watch the second prince get rid of him first and then get rid of him. 】

[At 10:20, the person who was deceived into the rockery by the second prince was actually the ninth prince. You wanted to go out to help, but you saw that the second prince was easily counterattacked by the ninth prince and was knocked unconscious on the ground. 】

[At 10:30, you originally wanted to kill the second prince, but you became even more angry after hearing him say that the ninth prince should pay the price. So, when he was unable to resist, you fed all the poison into his mouth. 】

[10:35, you wanted to watch the second prince die before leaving, but you didn’t want anyone to come over, so you had to leave first. But when you left, you didn't notice that a piece of your skirt was scratched off by the gravel of the rockery. 】

[Task 1: Confirm whether you are the real culprit in this case. Whether you are or not requires supporting evidence. 】

[Task 2: Please confirm whether you have any involved partners. If so, please eliminate the other party with your own hands! 】

The series of messages made Shu Li frown, and she was particularly concerned about those two tasks.

The first one is pretty normal and fits the gameplay of script killing. But the second mission is a bit intriguing.

Add this keyword: no survivors.

Before coming in, Shu Li got those two hints from Li Zhi and the other two.

Besides the fact that there were no survivors, there were those few words.

[Return to the true nature and abandon the new life. 】

These words seemed to be addressed to the Ninth Prince, the former crown prince who had regained his new life. Could it be that by abandoning his new life, he was trying to obliterate him.

But these eight characters are still connected to Wusheng. Who knows if there is a causal relationship.

She couldn't figure anything out, and time didn't allow it.

Shu Li looked at the time and went to work on her own plot according to the timeline.

After the last two hours, everyone returned to the previous banquet hall one after another.

However, Prince Lu did not come back.

There is another person who has not returned, the second prince.

The remaining seven people are all standing, oh, except for the wrong one.

They looked at each other in silence, and the silence lasted for a long time.

In the end, it was Li Zhi who scratched his head and took the lead: "The second prince was killed for plot, and Prince Lu should be the one killed because of some implication, right?"

"..."

No one answered, so Shu Li coughed: "I think so too, but in this case of implicated relationship killing, there shouldn't be any need to find the perpetrator?"

Li Zhi shrugged: "I can't find it. Who knows whether the implicated relationship is based on the script or an external relationship."

"If it's related to the script, he shouldn't die. That's external relations." Wen Shangshu pointed directly at the Ninth Prince: "We have seen what happened before NPC was assassinated. Is your relationship with him the former or the latter?"

"It seems like you don't believe anything I say, right?" The Ninth Prince had a pair of slender eyebrows, and he narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment, with a sinister tone: "Suspicion will sprout once it takes root."

Just as Wen Shangshu was about to refute, he heard the Ninth Prince say: "It's the latter."

"My most important person died in his first mission. I have been chasing him for a long time, but I didn't expect that he has been hidden until now."

The Ninth Prince seemed to feel lonely, but then he returned to his initial publicity.

"I eliminated Prince Lu, so you don't need to bother investigating. If you have to vote for the person who eliminates Prince Lu in the end, you can just vote for me."

Feng Tong, who has been silent all this time: "Nervous!"

His voice was not too low, not only the Ninth Prince, but also everyone else heard it.

Shu Li noticed that although Li Zhi smiled because of these words, there was still lingering sadness on his face.
