The emperor frowned. His little heart was hurting. Who was so blind to laugh so arrogantly?

The palace maids standing outside the hall immediately replied, "Reporting to the Emperor, the Ninth Princess has come."

The Emperor understood and walked inside.

"I was wondering who it was that was so bold to laugh so loudly in Yao Chi Palace. So it's you, girl."

Just as the emperor's voice faded away, an object came towards him from the front. Just as the object was about to hit his head, a shadow flashed behind him.

This scene happened in an instant. Xiao Ting watched anxiously and could not react in time.

"How dare you." Before the emperor could recover his wits, the eunuch at the side reprimanded him coldly.

Xiao Ting was clever, and hid behind Imperial Consort Xiao.

Imperial Consort Xiao was very calm as she stepped forward to pay her respects to the emperor.

The Emperor glared at the meddlesome Chief Eunuch and told him to wait outside. After that, he helped Imperial Consort Xiao up and said, "Imperial Consort's mood today seems to be pretty good."

Imperial Consort Xiao nodded with a smile, "This is all thanks to Ting'er coming to accompany chenqie early in the morning."

"Oh?" The Emperor glanced at Xiao Ting, who was standing by the side like a pillar, and said: "I heard from Imperial Concubine that your niece loves to sleep in and out. How come she woke up so early today?"

Xiao Ting secretly curled her lips, was she such a blind person?

Imperial Consort Xiao also felt it was strange and looked towards Xiao Ting.

"Ting'er misses Imperial Concubine's aunt and wants to come see her earlier. Last night, she told Sir Zhou to leave early."

Xiao Ting replied with extreme innocence.

"Hahaha …" The emperor was amused by her words. "You're still able to greet Eunuch Zhou? He's really amazing, ah!"

Imperial Consort Xiao also laughed.

When Xiao Ting saw that she was narrating, she quietly shifted his steps, wanting to pick up the thing that fell to the ground just now so that the emperor wouldn't see it and punish her for her crimes.

He didn't expect that she would be discovered the moment he saw her, "So this is what you used to throw me here?"

Xiao Ting thought and went out the door.

"Ting'er didn't want to throw the emperor away. Seeing that his aunt wasn't in a good mood, he thought to make her happy so he could play with her. Who would have thought that the emperor would suddenly come over?"

"Aiyo, you're blaming me for this? "This Emperor has come at the wrong time."

Although Xiao Ting stood there unmoving, but her intelligent eyes turned quickly. She had a strange appearance, that made people feel tender affection for him.

"Come, present it. Let me see what it is!"

Xiao Ting curled her lips, but still obediently picked up the thing on the ground and handed it over.

The emperor held it in his hand and looked at it. He then threw it to the side and asked, "What is this?"

Xiao Ting explained, "This is a sandbag …" I've never even seen this before.

The more she talked, the more she slipped away. Just as she was beaming with joy, someone reported from the outside that the Commander Xu was here and was begging the emperor.

Hearing that, Xiao Ting exclaimed, her business was still not settled yet.

Thus, after the Emperor left, she followed him out, hiding behind the doorframe and secretly sticking out her little head to listen to what they were saying.

Xu Yu was here to report on the situation, but it happened a few years ago, the palace maids already had another batch, and they couldn't even find out back then, much less now.

He didn't even know how the body had gotten to the bottom of the lake.

When the emperor heard this, he was also irritated, and immediately prepared to issue an order for him to defend the imperial palace.

Right at this critical moment, Xiao Ting sneakily walked out from the shadows, indicating that she wanted to participate in the investigation.

When the emperor heard this, he only felt it was funny. "What does a little girl like you know? It's good to be filial, but investigating a case is not child's play, so stop fooling around. "

Xiao Ting was not convinced, "Your majesty, please let Ting'er give it a try. Although Aunt is normally smiling, this matter is an eternal pain in her heart.

"Besides, Tao Zhi's body was found in the palace, so the perpetrator must be in the palace. If that person had other intentions, what would happen? You don't want that to happen again, do you? "

How could the Emperor not know the seriousness of the situation? If he only allowed a little girl to get involved, then others would laugh their teeth out when the news spread.

"It's logical and logical, but this is a matter of life and death. Stop messing around, if you have time to accompany your aunt, then I'll take it as a sign of filial piety."

Xiao Ting was speechless. How much did the emperor look down on her?

Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, Xiao Ting could only pass the paper slip that Ninth Prince had given her yesterday. "Your majesty, this is the prince's gift, please take a look."

The emperor glanced at it and saw the familiar calligraphy on it before he received it. He read it and the expression on his face was marvelous.

He didn't say anything for a long time.

In the end, facing Xiao Ting's somewhat overly hopeful eyes, he nodded and agreed.

"Your majesty, can we have the Commander Xu stay and help me?"

Xu Yu had been kneeling the whole time and his hand that was holding the sword tightened.

The emperor's voice appeared above his head. "That's good. He's more familiar with the matters of this palace than you are, and he's also more clear on the case than you. Then let him help you!"

"Thank you, your majesty."

"Thank you, your majesty."

Two of them thanked him. One was filled with excitement, while the other was filled with gratitude.

Xiao Ting did not care about all these. When the Emperor turned around and entered the Yao Chi Palace, she jumped in front of Xu Yu and reached out to support him.

"Hurry up and get up. The emperor has already gone far away."

Xu Yu's movements were fast, but he didn't even do anything, he just floated far away, keeping a distance from her.

"I say, why did you jump so far away? Show your martial arts to the I? "

Xiao Ting's face was full of curiosity and envy. Looking at her skills, she then thought about her.

Xu Yu's face was cold as he looked at her, "Ninth Princess, it's time to investigate."

He wanted to see what this delicate girl had found out.

Xiao Ting did not say anything and asked him to wait here. She went in to ask the Imperial Consort Xiao to excuse him, then came out with Xu Yu and rushed out of the palace.

Halfway there, they met Zhaohua, and the trio arrived at the Sky Prison once again.

It was still the same old place. When Xiao Ting arrived at the ice coffin, she saw that Tao Zhi's corpse was still inside.

"Ting'er, what are you doing?" Zhaohua was very excited, when she came here yesterday, although Xiao Ting said that she would definitely get the imperial edict to participate in this case.

However, she didn't think much of it. After all, this was a murder case, not child's play.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ting really did it.

"You two, come here and help!" Xiao Ting had been busy for a long time, but she did not manage to tear many of them off.

Zhaohua kept retreating, "This princess doesn't want it."

Xiao Ting rolled her eyes at her, "Coward, isn't it just a corpse? "You're actually afraid of her?"

The Zhaohua snorted, "Who's afraid?"

"Then if you're not afraid, why did you hide so far away?"

"Also, do not tear my Commander Xu's sleeves."

Zhaohua looked down and realized that she had unknowingly grabbed onto Xu Yu's sleeves and quickly let go.

Xu Yu didn't say a word and directly walked over, but did not help Xiao Ting, and said: "Many years ago, the practices of the masters of Sky Dragon Temple was pasted on it, it's useless for you to tear it apart like this."

After Xiao Ting heard this, she stood up and asked: "What kind of master is this, and who is he?"

She had initially thought that the runes on it were used to suppress the coffin, but now that she heard it, it did not seem like it was done for Tao Zhi's sake, but rather existed in the first place.

Xu Yu's eyes were clear and cold as he said: "Master is an outsider, the reason why I left this ice coffin was to suppress the corpse, Tao Zhi's corpse is strange, that's why I placed her inside to prevent the corpse from changing."

Xiao Ting was speechless, what was this?

Corpse Transformation? He turned into an eggplant. How many years had he been dead for? His soul had already dispersed long ago, and his corpse had obviously been dealt with by someone. How could he transform into a corpse?

Unless a new soul took over!

Thinking about that, Xiao Ting extended her hand out to fish the ice coffin. Just as Xu Yu was about to stop him, Tao Zhi's corpse was already thrown out.

Xiao Ting, on the other hand, covered her hands and jumped around, "Oh my god, why is it so cold?! This is an ancient ice shelf!"

Tao Zhi's corpse was thrown out, her body was completely unharmed, as though she had fallen asleep, and was placed on the ground by Xu Yu.

"Ninth Princess, you …"

Xu Yu was just admiring her boldness, but now she was surprised.

Xiao Ting ignored him, shook her hand, then squatted on the ground and played with the corpse, the Zhaohua beside her did not come close, but seeing that the other two were not afraid, she slowly walked over, and stayed by Xu Yu's side.

"He's indeed been dead for many years." Xiao Ting pressed a hand on the corpse's stomach. Her expression suddenly changed greatly as she said: "Give me the blade."

Xu Yu wordlessly passed the blade over, Xiao Ting opened up Tao Zhi's clothes, revealing his slightly green stomach, and then with a 'hua la' sound, she cut open Tao Zhi's stomach.

"AHH!" Zhaohua screamed, and immediately retreated in fright. Xu Yu was also shocked, he did not expect Xiao Ting to suddenly make a move.

"Ninth Princess, what are you doing?"

Xiao Ting did not pay attention to him and coldly shouted, "You all quickly withdraw."

From Tao Zhi's broken stomach, black bugs crawled out and quickly covered her stomach.

Xiao Ting lifted her hand, and at the tip of her finger, a few traces of a blue flame flickered. She extended a finger, and the flame shot straight into Tao Zhi's stomach.

With a sizzling sound, the black bugs were burnt to ashes.

However, in the next moment, many bugs began crawling out.

Xiao Ting reached out and pushed, "Let's go."

Xu Yu took the sword Xiao Ting threw over and pulled Zhaohua out of the cell.

Because at this moment, Xiao Ting and the corpse were surrounded by the blue flames, they were forced out.

"Ting'er, come out quickly!" Zhaohua was truly afraid now, seeing that Xiao Ting was still inside, she immediately called out to her.

Xiao Ting did not bother with her. Instead, she squatted down and grabbed one of the black bugs in her hand and observed it carefully.

Time passed slowly. When Zhaohua saw that Xiao Ting did not stand up, but the bugs did not approach her body either, she finally relaxed.

All of the blue flame bugs turned into ashes, while the others circled inside, and after a while, Tao Zhi's body was flattened at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

Then it started to melt and eventually became a puddle of black water.
