Children of Loulan

Chapter 337 Investigation

He subconsciously stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the corner of his mouth, where the warmth and softness of Dale's lips seemed to remain. Everything that had just happened seemed unreal, like a dream. Did Dale really kiss him? This sudden sweet gesture made him unbelievable, and an indescribable joy surged in his heart.

After being stunned for a moment, Bai Xi couldn't help but reveal a silly smile, which was full of happiness and satisfaction. He knew that Dale's action meant that she was slowly opening her heart and putting him into her heart bit by bit. Thinking of this, he wanted to rush forward immediately, hug Dale tightly, kiss her hard, and tell her his inner joy. However, reason told him that there were more important things waiting for him to complete.

After repeated investigations by the court doctor, they finally found some clues in today's meal - it actually contained a very small amount of safflower! According to the court doctor, consuming this amount of safflower once or twice would not directly lead to miscarriage.

However, if she took it for seven or eight days in a row, the consequences would be disastrous, and the fetus would surely die in her belly. Moreover, when the court doctor further examined the abortion-preserving medicine that Hanguli took, he surprisingly discovered that it also contained a very small amount of oleander! It was obvious that the mastermind behind this was determined to get rid of the baby in Hanguli's belly!

Meanwhile, Bai Xi was not idle. He knew that this matter was of great importance and he had to investigate it thoroughly. So he started his investigation from the kitchen, and did not let any of them off easily, whether it was the cook, the fire maid, or the old woman who bought the food.

Although most of these people have signed indentures with the palace, their lives and property are all tied to the palace, and according to common sense, they should not dare to betray their master easily. But people's hearts are unpredictable, who can guarantee that they will not forget their principles and betray their master because of coercion and temptation from the outside world? After all, there must be brave men under a big reward!

However, just as he began to examine and question everyone in detail, something unexpected happened - all the evidence collected pointed to a maid who had just been transferred to the Crown Princess's side! Faced with such a solid clue, Bai Xi gave an order to arrest this woman without hesitation. After all, according to the palace doctor, the poisoner had to continue poisoning for several days in a row to succeed, so logically speaking, this person should still be in the palace at this time.

Therefore, Baixi immediately sent people to capture the maid who was highly suspected. But who could have expected that when they arrived at the target location, they were shocked to find that the woman had disappeared! Despite this, poisonous substances such as safflower and oleander were indeed found in the room where she lived. It can be seen that the person who poisoned must be her, there is no doubt about this. But what is incredible is how this woman disappeared out of thin air in the heavily guarded palace?

At this moment, Keremu was still standing at the gate of Cuihua Courtyard, and his originally serious face was now even more gloomy. Someone actually dared to attack his crown princess in his palace, which was a naked provocation to his authority! Not long after, Baixi hurried over to report the latest situation to him and reply to his mission.

"Your Highness, after a thorough investigation, I have found that the maidservant was the one who poisoned the Crown Princess. However, after she saw the Crown Princess smell the dishes, she realized that her actions might have been exposed. So, before I sealed off the mansion, she fled in a hurry. According to the concierge, she left alone in a hurry, and all the items in her room were intact. It can be seen that she left in a hurry!"

When Keremu heard this, he became furious. He stood up suddenly, swung his right hand, and smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground. There was a crisp "bang" sound, and the teacup broke into pieces in an instant, with fragments flying everywhere.

"How abominable! She actually dared to poison my Crown Princess in my house. She is so bold! No matter what, even if I have to turn the whole capital upside down, I must find this person out for me! I must thoroughly investigate who is behind her poisoning the Crown Princess!" Keremu roared with gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with rage.

Bai Xi on the side bowed quickly and responded: "Yes, Your Highness, please calm down! I will immediately dispatch people to guard the city gate strictly. If we find that this woman attempts to leave the city, she will be captured in one fell swoop!" After saying that, Bai Xi turned around and was about to leave to carry out the order.

Keremu calmed down his anger a little, took a deep breath, and then slowly said: "Wait! In addition, we must take this opportunity to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of all the people in the palace. We must not miss any clues, and immediately clear out any suspicious places in the palace!"

Baier followed Ziya closely, and the two of them carefully checked every corner of the mansion and the remaining personnel to prevent the maid's accomplices. On the other side, Baixi led a team of people to the city gate in a hurry. After arriving, he showed the portrait of Hanguli in his hand to all the soldiers guarding there without hesitation, and described the maid's appearance to them in detail. After the explanation, he deliberately left a few capable men to assist in guarding the city gate, just in case. Then, Baixi led people into the city without stopping to carry out further investigation.

Meanwhile, in the mansion, Dar saw that almost a whole day had passed, but Hanguli had barely eaten a grain of rice or drunk a drop of water. Looking at the kitchen, the people who were originally responsible for cooking were also being interrogated and investigated. So Dar made a quick decision and decided to personally solve the problem.

She quickly called the court doctor and went to the kitchen together. After entering the kitchen, Dar directed the court doctor to conduct a comprehensive and detailed inspection of the various ingredients, water sources and cooking utensils inside, not missing any details. After everything was confirmed by the court doctor to be normal, Dar rolled up his sleeves, personally went to the kitchen and cooked several delicious dishes.

However, for safety reasons, even after the dishes were prepared, Dal still did not dare to take it lightly. She once again respectfully asked the court doctor to come and check if there were any abnormalities in the food. The court doctor first carefully checked the color and smell of each dish, then tested them one by one with a silver needle, and finally tasted a small portion of the food himself. This was repeated many times, until the court doctor confirmed again and again that there was indeed no problem at all, Dal's heart, which had been hanging, finally settled down a little. Finally, she carefully picked up the food and walked steadily towards Cuihuating!

At this moment, Hanguli woke up slowly, her eyes half sleepy, and she stretched her body. After all this tossing and turning, almost a whole day had passed, and her stomach was already growling with hunger. Keremu carefully helped her up and let her sit on the edge of the bed. Hanguli looked at the sumptuous meal on the table, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't wait to start eating.
