Chapter 251 Look, he really protects it like his eyeball, and others can’t stand it even if he gets hurt

Ye Runan then calmly replied, "The Senluo Flower destroys a person's character, and the Liangyi Grass confuses the mind. If a person drinks a mixture of these two, they will develop hallucinations and become increasingly violent. The ultimate result is complete loss of sanity, turning them into a madman, and ultimately dying of a mental breakdown."

Hearing this, Yun Qingshi's eyes gradually widened, and he subconsciously grabbed Xiao Jiwu's hand, and then said to himself, "As expected."

As he expected, Xiao Jiwu in the book became like that because he was poisoned.

Even if it was not written in the novel, things would still have their own development. He knew that Xiao Jiwu would not become like that for no reason.

But who was the one who poisoned it?

Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but look at Xiao Jiwu anxiously.

If the person who poisoned the food is not caught, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do it again.

It is easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark.

Facing the young man's worried look, Xiao Jiwu immediately gave Yun Qingshi a reassuring look, and then asked Ye Runan: "Brother, do you know where to get these two medicines?"

After hearing this, Ye Runan spoke again, "You've asked the right person. There are very few records of these two herbs, and they are extremely rare. They only grow in the miasma forests of the south, and ordinary people can't pick them at all. Countless people have died because of them, and no one is willing to pick them anymore. They are worth a fortune. To be able to obtain these herbs, one must be rich or noble. It's not something a maid like him can obtain."

Hearing this, Yun Qingshi lowered his eyes and began to think hard.

Either rich or noble, after thinking about it, he could only think of Xiao Jiwu's brothers.

The Dog Emperor is now under Xiao Jiwu's surveillance, so it is unlikely to be him.

Moreover, the poison the other party used was not directly fatal, and it seemed that he wanted Xiao Jiwu to suffer more.

Not for the purpose of seizing the throne, but just to make Xiao Jiwu suffer pain and torture.

Is it Prince Su, Prince Rui, or is it the Fourth Prince who is playing dumb?

Or the confidants of these people...

We still have to interrogate the spy.

Xiao Jiwu already had an idea in his mind at this point, and then he said to Ye Runan: "Sorry to bother you, Senior Brother, to make this trip."

Ye Runan had originally looked indifferent, but upon hearing this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and stepped forward, exclaiming, "Oh, Prince Xiao, no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become much more modest recently. Not bad, not bad. It must be Xiao Eleven's good training."

Speaking of this, Ye Runan couldn't help but pat Yun Qingshi on the shoulder.

This was not an excessive contact, but seeing this, Xiao Jiwu immediately took his senior brother's hand away from Yun Qingshi's shoulder.

"Just talk, don't use your hands."

Ye Runan was speechless: "Look, he really protects it like his eyeball, and others can't stand it even if it hits him."

Yun Qingshi was also amused and helpless, and immediately said to Ye Runan: "Brother, don't take it to heart, he is just jealous."

When Xiao Jiwu heard this, he immediately responded: "Yes."

Ye Runan rolled his eyes after hearing this, as if he didn't want to look at these two people anymore: "Got it."

He continued, "I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything."

"Cassia, follow."

After Ye Runan finished speaking, he led Jueming out.

Yun Qingshi looked at Xiao Jiwu helplessly, then hurriedly chased him out and stopped him, saying, "Brother, let's have dinner together some other day."

Probably after Xiao Jiwu's enthronement ceremony, Ye Runan will leave again.

And this time I leave, I probably won’t be back for a long time.

The reason why Ye Runan stayed in the palace for so long was that he was worried about Xiao Jiwu. Now that the dust has settled, he is going to live his own life.

Yun Qingshi could understand, but he was reluctant to leave after being together for such a long time, so he wanted to have one last meal with them.

Ye Runan was still the magnanimous senior brother he always was. Upon hearing this, he turned around and responded with a smile: "Okay, see you later."

Yun Qingshi nodded and said, "See you later."

Yun Qingshi only returned to the bedroom after watching Ye Runan and Jueming walk out of the door. Zhao Mingde had already taken the pot of poisonous tea away to dispose of it. Now on the table was the tea that Xiao Jiwu had just poured for him.

Yun Qingshi walked over, sat down, picked up the wine and took a sip. He couldn't help but sigh, "There are fewer and fewer people here. Changshun can't stay with us anymore, and my senior brother is leaving too. Sigh, life is like that~"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiwu took Yun Qingshi's hand and comforted her: "Life is full of ups and downs, but I will always be with you, Qingqing."

Hearing this, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but move over and hugged Xiao Jiwu and responded seriously: "Okay, we will always be together..."

————

The spy maid was not a person with a strong mind to begin with, so Ying Twelve only used a few tortures and she confessed everything.

The result was consistent with Yun Qingshi's guess. The person behind the scenes was Xiao Jiwu's second brother, Prince Rui Xiao Jinzhi, who was still under house arrest.

Having learned that Xiao Jiwu was about to be appointed the crown prince, he was filled with resentment and activated this spy who had been buried in Prince Yi's mansion for two years. He did so even though he knew that he would be doomed if this move was leaked.

This also makes sense why he would poison Xiao Jiwu. After all, his impotence was a common knowledge, and he had lost the qualification to succeed to the throne, so he just wanted Xiao Jiwu to suffer as much as he did.

Total psychological distortion.

It is understandable, after all, he has also lost his humane ability.

Xiao Jiwu did not show any mercy. In order to prevent future troubles, he personally sent the other party to his death that night.

Yun Qingshi met Xiao Jinzhi for the last time. Unlike his initial high-spirited self, Xiao Jinzhi looked like he had gone mad...

The next day, March 26th, was the auspicious day for Xiao Jiwu to be enthroned as the crown prince.

Outside the Xuanming Hall, after the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Pavilion read out the "Document on the Establishment of the Crown Prince", the Emperor reluctantly handed the imperial seal to Xiao Jiwu personally.

After that, Xiao Jiwu and the emperor accepted the congratulations of all officials. The enthronement ceremony was completed and only the announcement to the world remained.

"Your Highness, we pay our respects to the Crown Prince! The foundation of the nation has been established! The hearts of the people are at peace! We only wish that the Crown Prince will be reverent in the ancestral temples and care for the people! May you live a thousand years!"

Of course, Yun Qingshi would definitely not miss such a big day. He watched the whole ceremony and accompanied Xiao Jiwu to truly ascend the throne of the crown prince, although he could only stand below as a guard.

After the ceremony, Xiao Jiwu moved into the Eastern Palace, and Yun Qingshi followed him and moved into the Eastern Palace's bedroom that night.

Yun Qingshi was used to living in Yian Palace, and he couldn't fall asleep after suddenly moving to a new place, even though Xiao Jiwu had already ordered in advance that the main hall of the East Palace be decorated almost the same as Yian Palace.

After tossing and turning unable to fall asleep, Yun Qingshi successfully provoked Xiao Jiwu to turn over and half-press on him, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Qingqing, don't you want to go to bed?"
