As the old doctor said, if the person who cursed the little emperor can no longer be found and the curse is lifted, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable.

So Xiao Chumo gathered all the subordinates who served the little emperor in the dormitory, and in the punishment hall, he sat high, staring at the people in front of him, this group of people who were trembling, as if they didn't know what was happening, the pair of sharp eagle eyes kept sweeping between these people, just to find some clues from their frightened or puzzled facial expressions.

"The king has gathered you here today because he has been told that the hidden illness of your majesty is actually the result of a curse, and that you are all men who serve your majesty day and night, and the king asks you, are there any strange or sneaky people who are near your majesty's bedchamber during this time?" His cold voice was terrifying.

But no matter how much he questioned, the subordinates kept shaking their heads, they naturally didn't want to have anything to do with this matter, after all, cursing the little emperor was a big crime for the nine clans!

Seeing that no one admitted it, and no one was willing to stand up and explain, Xiao Chumo was furious, he slammed the table in front of him, his voice was even colder than before, and shouted: "If you don't say a word, won't you become dumb?" I can't even answer this kind of thing, how did you serve Your Majesty's diet before? ”

"The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life!" Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the subordinates immediately fell to their knees in fright and kept begging for mercy.

Xiao Chumo was completely enraged, his brows tightened, his gloomy gaze was fixed on everyone's body, and he snorted coldly: "Since you all refuse to say it, then this king can only think that this curse incident was not done by one person, but by you as a team?" ”

"This?" Under Xiao Chumo's coercion and temptation, an old eunuch finally stood up, he knelt down and took two steps forward, as if he was going to speak for all the subordinates present, and the old man explained with tears:

"The prince is well aware that even if we borrow a few of our courage, we will never dare to think crookedly on Your Majesty! And we are all people who have served Your Majesty for a long time, if we wanted to be disadvantageous to Your Majesty, we would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now? Lord Wang, we are all wronged, please find out the truth and return us to an innocent body! ”

"Please return our innocence." Under the call of the old eunuch, the other subordinates also spoke out, and they all expressed their wrongs, and their sincere eyes did not seem to be mixed with the slightest lie.

Just when Xiao Chumo didn't believe what they said and was about to drag them to the punishment one by one, Yu Panxi walked in with Liu Suifeng, looking at the picture of people kneeling on the ground and Ying Ying crying, she couldn't help frowning, and said: "The truth of the matter has not been investigated clearly, what if they are really wronged?" If you catch a good person by mistake, how can it be good? ”

"At this time, I can't manage so much, Your Majesty's body is getting weaker and weaker, and if you can't find the culprit of the curse, then it's bad." Xiao Chumo is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and he naturally doesn't want to watch innocent people being tortured, but now in addition to this method, he may have the opportunity to let these hard-mouthed subordinates tell the truth, he really can't think of a better way.

At this time, Liu Suifeng clasped his arms into fists, took two steps forward, and said to Xiao Chumo: "Don't be anxious, Lord Liu, on the orders of the princess, has quietly checked the corners of the palace, and found traces that someone had opened an altar in the back mountain, although it was cleaned up very cleanly, but with Liu's experience in walking the rivers and lakes for many years, he still saw the clues. ”

"You said back mountain?" Xiao Chu stood up slowly, the little emperor's bedroom was not far from the location of the back mountain, he had also sent someone to find it before, but the group of rice buckets claimed that nothing had been found, if it weren't for Liu Suifeng, he was afraid that he would have been kept in his bones.

Then Yu Panxi stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "There are countless officials and subordinates who enter and leave the palace every day, and besides, in the desolate place of the back mountain, anyone can approach at will, in my opinion, the real murderer is probably not among this group of people, they serve His Majesty all day long, if there is really someone who is suspicious, they will probably confess a long time ago for self-preservation, so why wait until now?" ”

In Yu Panxi's opinion, it is better to release the subordinates first, if they are really weak-hearted, then they will naturally find an opportunity to meet the real murderer during this time, and they can naturally fish in the water and find this person when the time comes.

But even if they are as usual, Xiao Chumo can also rein in the precipice in time, and not punish innocent people unjustly, and naturally will not leave a vicious impression on the people in the future, since they can get benefits from the left and right, then Xiao Chumo will naturally follow Yu Panxi's advice.

After releasing the people, Xiao Chumo and Yu Panxi personally went to the back mountain to check, and indeed the traces left by the altar were not obvious, no wonder the guards said that they had found nothing.

"You must know that around His Majesty's bedroom, there are many palace concubines or concubines of the Queen Mother, but the person who cursed him was able to accurately avoid these people and put them on His Majesty, which is enough to show that this person's ability is excellent, and I am afraid that it is not something that ordinary cultivators can do." The willow murmured with the wind.

His analysis was quickly recognized by Xiao Chumo and Yu Panxi, indeed, the person who cursed was not only not an ordinary person, but also had a lot of courage, and was able to open an altar here in a grand manner, obviously not afraid of being discovered at all, or, even if it was discovered, he would have enough ability to kill people invisibly and not let this secret leak out.

Just when Xiao Chumo and the others returned to the side hall and were about to find another way to save them, the sick Qianqiu appeared at this time, he would come to check the pulse of the little emperor almost every day, but his face was still as pale as paper after drinking so much decoction, without any blood.

After he came today, he was very surprised to see Liu Suifeng, who had been dismissed by Yu Panxi before, and at the same time, he also sensed that something was not quite right, but he pretended to smile quietly, and said: "Brother Liu, I haven't seen you for many days, please forgive Qianqiu for being ill and unable to visit your residence in person." ”

"It's not a hindrance, Liu is a free and casual person, fame and fortune are like a passing cloud for me, and even if he is removed, Liu is not melancholy to the point where he needs to be comforted by Brother Qianqiu." Liu Suifeng didn't have a good impression of Qianqiu, but now in the face of his seemingly concerned greetings, he casually perfunctory.

Qianqiu smiled faintly, and did not continue to say more, but turned his eyes to look at Xiao Chumo, and continued: "Qianqiu heard that you went to the back mountain before to find out that someone opened an altar there and set a curse on His Majesty, I don't know if you can find any useful evidence?" ”

"Even if the high priest is sick in bed and unwell, his ability to receive news can be so fast, this king really admires and admires." Xiao Chumo ignored Qianqiu's question, and there was ridicule and disdain in his eagle eyes.
