Xiao Juan said slowly, "That dead eunuch's name is Wangfu. When we found him, he was already dead. This is definitely not a coincidence. He was probably silenced."
Yu Niaoniao nodded in agreement.
"Those two dossiers were forged by Wangfu. The mastermind was afraid that he would leak the secret, so Wangfu was silenced."
"In that case, our previous guess was probably right. We're one step closer to the truth."
Xiao Juan exhaled softly. "I have to enter the palace again tomorrow."
Yu Niaoniao picked up the two corns on the ground and handed one to Xiao Juan.
"Eat something. Eat and sleep well. Only then can you have the strength to nab the mastermind."
Xiao Juan took the corn and peeled it layer by layer, revealing the golden corn kernels roasted inside.
He took a bite. It was fragrant and sweet, with a faint charred fragrance unique to charcoal.
After eating the roasted corn and roasted sweet potatoes, Xiao Juan felt full.
