Chapter 41: Finding the Cause
"Your Highness, the physical signs of this Xingnan Tiger are very normal, the pulse was a little faster just now, it is likely that the activity before going to bed is too vigorous, just pay attention to it in the future." Kyle's attendant doctor took the test report and said to him.
After the examination, the little tiger was held in Kyle's arms, and his stomach was still a little hungry, so while his brother and Alan were listening to others, the little one silently picked up his tail to play and pass the time.
Alan looked at the energetic little tiger and couldn't put his mind at ease.
The cub's routine has always been very stable, especially the time to fall asleep at night, whether in Adrington, Serentu or Franche, there has never been a major change. At present, this situation of not being able to sleep late at night is extremely abnormal.
After returning to the room, Kyle immediately used the terminal to communicate with Prince Salvin, asking to see the little tiger's nutrition recipe list, and then contacted the real yĆ n room in the academy and asked Villanika to help test the nutrient residue in the empty bottle.
"Your Highness, do you suspect that something is wrong with the nutrients?" Alan was worried that His Royal Highness Kyle would think he was making a fuss, but he didn't expect the other party to attach so much importance to the little tiger, and Allen, who was anxious, finally had a little to rely on.
Kyle was with Alan and Little Tiger all day today, and what games they played and what activities they did, Kyle remembered clearly, and it was no different from the past.
Vincent knew that he could stay in Franche for a while, and although he was young, he had already learned the skills of "retreating for advance" and "casting a long line to catch a big fish".
At such times, it will be very well-behaved, almost whatever the adults say, it will be obedient and never make a fuss, and then it can get Alan to agree to many additional requests such as "kiss", "bath", "stay together" and so on.
So when it was time to go to bed, with Alan and Kyle, the strenuous activity that the doctor said had not appeared at all!
If it's not a problem with the amount of exercise, then what's possible? Nature is most likely to be food!
The little one drank half a glass of milk a day, in addition to the nutrients and complementary foods brought by Selentu.
But this milk is exclusively for everyone, and Alan and Kyle have also drunk it during the day, and they haven't found anything unusual, so it can basically be ruled out.
If that's the case, could it be that there's something wrong with that box of nutrients?
However, they compared the results of the test with the formula table sent by Prince Salvin, and found that the ingredients were basically the same, which means that there was no problem with the nutrients.
Villanica was meeting Alan for the first time, and she was very curious about the teenager who could keep Vincent honest in his arms, but there was something more important right now, and it was not time to gossip, so she asked Kyle, "Do you need to check all the remaining nutrients once?" ā
"Just to be on the safe side, check them all, I'm sorry for you!"
ā¦ā¦
Is it really what they are fussing about?
Alan held the little tiger in one hand and the formula list in the other, and carefully read it again.
There are basic vitamins, trace elements, proteins...... There are also some medicinal plant ingredients, and at a glance, there are several secondary medicinal plants that Allen has learned.
For example, endive is appetizing and aids digestion...... Frost Qinglian has a great effect on brain development...... Jade tooth seed, which can promote metabolism......
Wait a minute! Boost metabolism?!
Something flashed through Alan's head, but it was too fast to catch.
At this time, Villanica happened to take out a bottle of undrunk nutrients from the box, looked at the label on the bottle and said, "The female official that Prince Salvin brought back is called Amanda, right?" It's quite careful.,The date and time on it are clearly written.,Even if you don't understand it at all.,Take it according to the label.,You won't get it wrong.ć ā
Date...... Time...... Take the wrong ...... Metabolism...... Wait a minute! Could it be that here's the problem?!
"Your Highness!" Alan quickly told Kyle about his conjecture.
"You're saying maybe it's the wrong label for the afternoon and evening supplements?" Villanica unconsciously looked at the bottle in her hand.
"That's right!" Alan explained: "The jade tooth in the nutrient is to promote metabolism, and this medicinal plant is more commonly used in the nutrition of young children, and you must know more about this aspect than we do." ā
Villanika nodded, motioning for him to continue.
"The nutrient composition of the cubs is roughly fixed, but the amount of nutrients in the nutrients of different ingredients can vary greatly from one ingredient to the other at different times. In the nutrients taken during the day, the content of jade tooth should be relatively high, and at night, this one should be very little or no at all! ā
"You're right, accelerating metabolism during the day has a positive effect on the development of cubs, but at night, if the metabolism rate is still at a very fast level, it will affect sleep due to hyperactivity and excessive hunger, and may even cause neurasthenia for a long time. It turns out that this is the ...... That's why cubs can't sleep! ā
Villanica was somewhat surprised by Alan's knowledge of medicinal plants, as well as his quick thinking.
Remembering her comment on a female officer just now, Villanika said curtly: "I really can't stand the praise, I just said that she is careful, now it's okay, I can't even get the label right, Kyle, you have to talk to Salvin about it!" ā
Looking at Alan, who kissed Vinson on the forehead after being relieved, and the little tiger who was inexplicably kissed but was very happy, Kyle muttered, "It's to talk about it." ā
In his opinion, Amanda didn't get the label wrong at all because of carelessness, she probably did it on purpose!
As for why she did this, Kyle already had an answer in his mind, but he didn't reveal it in front of Ellen and Villanica.
The next test confirmed Kyle's suspicion that the next day's nutrients, the two bottles in the afternoon and evening, were also miswritten and misplaced. But after that, all the nutrients are right!
Finding out the reason, Kyle sends Villanika back to the bedroom, and by the time he returns to the room, Alan is already lying on the bed, sleeping with the little one.
After tossing and turning for most of the night, the little tiger finally felt a little sleepy, and it was keenly aware that Alan was particularly indulgent to it at this time, so it nestled in his arms, grabbed him by the placket with his little paws, and made a small whine, and played with him.
"Baby, I'm going to bed, I won't leave tonight, I'll stay here with you." Seeing the little tiger's well-behaved appearance, Allen's heart melted, and he kissed it on the forehead again: "Tomorrow I will bring my brother over to see you and play with you, so you have to keep your spirits up, you know?" ā
"Whew!" Rewarded with kisses and companionship, as well as the benefits of playing with gray balls, the little tiger leaned close to Alan with satisfaction, closed his eyes, and after a while, he let out a steady breathing sound, as if he was asleep.
Allen, who is relieved
And what they don't know is that this night is a sleepless night for many people.
ā¦ā¦
"You think Amanda is targeting Alan?" On the holographic screen, Prince Salvin frowned.
At first, Amanda asked to go to Franche with Vincent, but Salvin refused her request on the grounds that it would not be possible for the palace ladies to appear at the Academy.
Later, she seems to have abandoned this plan - and it now seems that it may have been to carry out the plan, to create an alibi for herself, so as to shirk responsibility afterwards.
Swap Vincent's two bottles of nutrients in advance, so that it can't fall asleep on time at night, and it will inevitably lose energy the next day, and then repeat this process again, and on the third day, the young Vincent will naturally not be able to hold on, and will definitely appear even more depressed.
At this time, the nutrients in Vincent's body have long been metabolized, and no trace will be left behind.
His Royal Highness Kyle and His Highness Salvin, who don't know the truth, will only blame Alan for not taking good care of Vincent, and may even speculate whether Allen deliberately let him play more in order to please His Royal Highness, and as a result, he didn't sleep well, which is even more unforgivable!
In this way, Alan will inevitably lose the trust of His Royal Highness Salvin, even if Vincent likes Allen again, with His Royal Highness the Prince, he will no longer let him get close to Allen, and the child will forget about this person who no longer appears over time.
However, to Amanda's surprise, the plan suffered a waterloo at the beginning.
First of all, she underestimated Allen's attentiveness and concern for the little tiger.
She thought that it would be good for a boy who had just turned sixteen to notice something unusual the next night, but Alan noticed the abnormality of the little tiger at the first time and immediately sued Kyle.
And she couldn't have imagined that Kyle, who looked cold and strict, was willing to spend a whole day by Allen and Vincent's side all the time, so whether it was Allen who caused Vincent's bad spirits naturally knew.
So they quickly ruled out the amount of exercise and began to look for nutrients.
And Alan happened to know some of the medicinal plants on the formula, and then discovered the possible causes, plus the nutrients on the second day before he had time to "consume" as evidence, so far, the plan has failed 90%.
As for the other ten percent, it was immediately noticed by Kyle.
In fact, I knew that Amanda was hostile to Allen, but I didn't expect her to use Vincent to achieve her own goals, Prince Salvin sighed and said: "I will immediately send a letter to High Priest Elijah, take her into custody of Abner first, and then escort her back to Serentu when I am free." ā
Using the prince and framing others is a testament to their character - they must not pay attention to the presence of unscrupulous people around Vincent, but Amanda knows the secrets of His Royal Highness and must be handled with caution.
The next morning, Alan asked the little tiger to wake up a little late, and the little one tossed only half the night, and soon regained his spirits.
At the same time, an urgent letter was delivered to Prince Salvin.
"Amanda was in an accident on the way to the temple in a carriage and unfortunately died."
Seeing the words above, Salvin was stunned, and always felt a bad premonition, which came to his heart.
