Unfortunately, Master also had no way to make Yingtong speak. He suspected that Yingtong might have been poisoned but could not detect any signs of poisoning;

This time I brought Yingtong here for two reasons, one is to see if you have any methods, and the other is to hope that after spending more time with you, she could become as cheerful and lively as she was before. I didn't expect..."

At this point, Long Xuanmo suddenly stopped talking, retracted his gaze from the moon, and turned to look deeply at Yang Mengchen, "Can you help me?"

Looking at Long Xuanmo, whose eyes were filled with hope and intense pain, Yang Mengchen felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She preferred Long Xuanmo to be either strong and cold, or shameless and cunning, or decisive in killing, so she turned her eyes away, "I like Yingtong too. Even if you didn't ask, I would have tried to cure her."

"Thank you, Ah Jiu!" Long Xuanmo sighed in relief. Indeed, he really wanted to cure Yingtong, but he didn't want to force the girl.

Yang Mengchen stared at Long Xuanmo, "What did you just call me?"

"Ah Jiu!" Seeing that Yang Mengchen seemed to be getting angry, Long Xuanmo hurriedly explained, "Your family calls you Jiujiu or Jiujie, Luo Shibai and the others call you 'Mengmeng', Xiao Hongtao and his wife call you 'Chenchen', so I should also have a way to address you. After much thought, I feel that calling you 'Ah Jiu' is most appropriate." Ah Jiu, a name only he would use for her.

It was just a name, and Yang Mengchen couldn't be bothered to argue with Long Xuanmo, "Don't you think the matter of Yingtong is too strange? After all, she was so young back then, how could she have made enemies? And what kind of grudge was it that would lead someone to want to freeze Yingtong to death?"

"After returning to the palace, I investigated the matter. It was the doing of Wen Fu, a second-rank eunuch in my mother's chambers," Long Xuanmo's gaze was as deep as the abyss, "Wen Fu confessed that he was fond of a palace maid named Lü Huan who served my mother, and he asked my mother to grant Lü Huan to him. My mother asked Lü Huan, who was unwilling, so my mother did not agree.

Because of this, Wen Fu harbored resentment in his heart and always wanted to take revenge on my mother;

That night, he happened to see Yingtong walking out of the chambers alone. Knowing how much my mother cherished Yingtong, Wen Fu followed her quietly and then took the opportunity to knock Yingtong unconscious and brought her to the Cold Palace before leaving. As long as Yingtong died, my mother would naturally be very sad, and he could vent the hatred in his heart;

Afterward, he eliminated all traces of his actions, and since he belonged to my mother's chambers, neither my father nor my mother suspected him;

It was not until he learned that I was secretly investigating the matter that Wen Fu clearly understood he would eventually be exposed. When I confronted him, he confessed without denying anything. With conclusive evidence, I did not continue to investigate further."

Yang Mengchen thought for a moment and shook her head, "Things shouldn't be like this!"

"What do you mean, Ah Jiu?" Long Xuanmo looked at Yang Mengchen.

Yang Mengchen organized her thoughts and slowly said, "Firstly, Yingtong is a well-behaved and sensible child and should be aware that going out on a snowy night could easily lead to illness, and the Empress would be worried. Therefore, even if she loves the snow, Yingtong would not likely go out alone at night.

So, how did Yingtong manage to leave the chambers without alerting the palace attendants?

Secondly, I took Yingtong's pulse, and it was clear that she had suddenly been terrified, and under the stress and cold, her vocal cords were damaged, which is why Yingtong doesn't speak. So, what exactly did she see that night?

Regarding Wen Fu, even if he hated the Empress, he should know that plotting against a princess is a capital offense. Even if he eliminated all traces, it is known that 'where a goose flies, it leaves a sound; where a person passes, they leave traces', and there will always be some clues found. Wasn't he afraid that if the matter was exposed, he would be executed?

Especially since neither the Emperor nor the Empress suspected him, but as soon as the Prince approached him, he immediately confessed. Isn't that too strange?

Furthermore, Wen Fu confessed to knocking Yingtong unconscious and leaving her in the Cold Palace and then leaving. However, Yingtong was poisoned with a secret poison called 'Midnight Paradise'. Did Wen Fu lie? Or is there someone else who poisoned her? Then, who is the poisoner? And what is the purpose of poisoning Yingtong?"
