Chapter 494: Regain your sanity

Chiaki's examination of the corpse was very skillful and at the same time very careful. After he finished his inspection, and the two of them walked around from the palace of the concubine to an unmanned pavilion in the imperial garden, he said his conclusion. However, according to him, the concubine did die by accident.

"How so?"

Xiao Chumo frowned, obviously not believing in this conclusion. After all, they suspected that the death of the concubine had an inside story because they found a few suspicious points, and he also told Qianqiu about these suspicious points, hoping that he could start the investigation from here, why did he only come to such a conclusion now?

He should have been so confused, but the latter was not in a hurry, and explained to him in a tone that was not in a hurry.

"The concubine should have been exposed to some strongly toxic medicinal herbs before her death, and she accidentally got a little bit of it in the process of fiddling with the medicinal herbs. As she walked to the edge of the pool, a toxic attack knocked her unconscious and she accidentally fell into it. The prince should know that if a comatose person is drowning, even if he will subconsciously struggle, the splash will be very small, and the place where the concubine died is relatively remote, so naturally it will not attract the patrolling guards. ”

Chiaki explained two doubts in one go, and they were both justified. He had just found something green between the concubine's fingernails, which looked like branches and leaves of plants, and guessed that it was a poisonous herb. And Xiao Chumo naturally needless to say, after Yu Panxi and Ah Ye inspected in the palace of the concubine, but they found the ashes of the heart grass in the brazier, where would he not guess what it was.

"As for why the palace maids in the concubine's palace didn't follow the concubine to serve, I'm afraid that I have to ask those palace maids."

Qianqiu threw out the last sentence without hurry, and led the remaining suspicion to the palace maid who was in charge of serving the concubine.

In fact, Xiao Chumo didn't send someone to ask those palace maids at the beginning, but at that time, they only said that the concubine had instructed them not to serve, so they went back to their room and went to bed early. Now it seems that I am afraid that the words of those palace maids are half-truthful and deliberately concealed something.

Xiao Chumo had a calculation in his heart, but he didn't immediately go back to the palace of the concubine to interrogate the palace maids, but got up and walked to the little emperor's bedroom with Qianqiu. It's been a long time since they've been out, and if they don't go back, it is estimated that the palace people who are waiting for the little emperor over there will have to ask people to come out to find them.

It turns out that Xiao Chumo's guess is really good. As soon as the two of them walked to the door of the little emperor's bedroom, two palace maids hurriedly stepped forward, and the joy on their faces was clear at a glance: "I've seen the prince!" Your Majesty has just woken up and is clamoring for food. However, His Majesty drank the medicine half an hour ago, and the slaves and maids don't know if His Majesty can eat now, and ask the prince to let this son in to have a look! ”

These two palace maids are also new to the palace, and although there are some things that are not appropriate when serving people, they are careful and cautious enough. Although they did not know medical science, they also knew that some medicines could not be eaten immediately after taking them, and they could not make up their minds, so they waited here for the Lord Regent to return.

Xiao Chumo nodded, and after letting the two palace maids retreat, he entered the palace with Qianqiu, and after a while, he saw the little emperor who was sitting on the bed in a daze.

Probably heard the sound, before Xiao Chumo could speak, the little emperor turned his head first, his little face was a little confused, and even the words he said seemed to be a little tentative: "Are you ...... Regent? ”

"Yes, the minister. Your Majesty is sober now? ”

Xiao Chumo replied very respectfully, and there was nothing wrong with his attitude. Except for Mo Baozhou's incident at the beginning, most of the time, he was very scrupulous in his courtesy. Even if the other party is just a child, he really regards him as the emperor he will assist.

"It's you."

Getting Xiao Chumo's answer, the little emperor was obviously relieved, and the confusion that appeared on his little face just now disappeared in an instant.

"It was as if I had a strange dream, and I was so groggy that I couldn't wake up. I just saw you come in, and I thought you were in a dream! ”

In the end, he was born in the royal family, and his ability to adapt to the change of identity is quite strong. Of course, this is also very likely because Ah Ye once attached to him and spent the most difficult period of adaptation for him. From the name of the little emperor to him, Xiao Chumo had already seen that when Ah Ye left the former's body, he should have left his memory to him.

Because of this, in the subconscious of the little emperor, Xiao Chumo's identity as the regent was canonized by himself, and he had personally experienced the things when he dealt with Situ Ye. In addition to Ah Ye deliberately erasing the existence of himself and Xingtian, there are also memories that the little emperor remembers. It was precisely because of this that he seemed so relieved and dependent on Xiao Chumo.

Xiao Chumo realized this and knew that Ah Ye did it on purpose, just so that he could gain the unconditional trust of the little emperor. While sighing in his heart, he could only collect the momentum of his body and try his best to comfort the little emperor.

It was probably because during this period of time that his body was tortured by the toxins of the heart grass so badly that he didn't say much before the little emperor felt a little tired. Qianqiu had already confirmed that the little emperor's sanity had returned to normal and he could eat normally, so Xiao Chumo asked people to boil porridge, and after watching the little emperor eat and sleep, he withdrew from the palace.

"I have something to deal with urgently, and I may not be able to leave the palace until later, so I'll send someone to send you back first."

Naturally, this was said to Chiaki. Xiao Chumo had just been inspired, and it was really a little troublesome to enter and leave the palace, so he was ready to directly order someone to bring the palace maids who were serving the concubine for interrogation. Because he was worried that Qianqiu would be bored, he planned to send the people back first.

The latter had a faint smile on his face, and politely rejected Xiao Chumo's kindness: "No need, it just so happens that I have nothing to do, so I don't have to bother the guards." If I could, I'd like to hear from the Lord Regent and see what the last suspicion really is. ”

He just cured the little emperor, which was a great achievement, and Xiao Chumo naturally had no reason to refuse. Anyway, he was also asking Qianqiu's wishes, and since he wasn't bored himself, there was no reason for him to rush people away.

Therefore, the two changed places, and then sent guards to bring the palace maids who served the concubine over to interrogate them one by one.

It's not that Xiao Chumo has a lot of trouble, it's just that the smell in the concubine hall is too unbearable. Even if he and Qianqiu can endure it, I'm afraid that those guards and palace maids will also have to be smoked and vomited.

Anyway, now that the little emperor is young, the harem is empty, and most of the palaces are uninhabited, so it is convenient to pick a place that can be used as a place for interrogation. It's just a bit of a hassle.
