Luo Tian was accompanying Robert by the bed, hoping he would wake up soon.
Queen Elaine stepped forward and said to Luo Tian, "This night is still long. We have just discussed that we will take turns to watch over the emperor, two hours each. You should go back to your bedroom and have a good rest."
"I want to stay here with my father. You guys go and rest first. I'll call you when my father wakes up." Luo Tian still sat there motionless.
Roger walked forward, looked at Luo Tian's sad face and sneered, "Some people are really good at acting, pretending to be filial here, but secretly poisoning and plotting to usurp the throne, what a good trick."
After hearing this, Luo Tian got furious. He originally suspected that Roger was the one who poisoned the food, but now this guy was turning the tables and framing others. He really had to teach him a lesson.
"Stop slandering me. The matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet. What basis do you have to say that someone poisoned me? If you have evidence, show it. If you don't have evidence, shut up." Luo Tian shouted sternly.
Roger was not relenting, "I was in charge of the defense of the Ice Palace before, and this has never happened before. It's only been two days since my father handed over the defense of the Ice Palace to you, and this happened. Is there such a coincidence in the world? You want evidence, but now everyone here is yours, I'm afraid the evidence has been destroyed long ago, right?"
Luo Tian retorted, "I am indeed responsible for the outer defense of the Ice Palace, but the imperial kitchen and internal affairs are independent and not under my control. I suspect that you, Roger, have ulterior motives. You are worried that my father will pass the throne to someone else, so you have the intention to kill and secretly poison him. You just want to ascend the throne in advance, right?"
"You are actually crying thief. I am here to eliminate this evil for our family today. Roy, Rosa, let's execute this rebellious son together..." Roger drew his sword and slashed at Luo Tian.
Luo Tian was not vague either. He drew his sword from his waist and blocked Roger's attack.
"Stop making trouble. Your father's life or death is uncertain, and the two of you are here killing each other for the throne. Wouldn't the emperor be furious to death when he sees you like this?" Elaine said loudly.
It was the first time that Luo Tian saw Elaine get so angry, so he stopped attacking and just resisted Roger.
Seeing that his mother was angry, Roger didn't dare to do anything rash, but seeing that Luo Tian didn't put away his sword, he didn't dare to stop.
The two of them held swords and confronted each other, neither of them dared to stop. Elaine walked to them angrily, separated the two swords, and said to Luo Jie: "Put them away first, don't embarrass yourself here." Then she turned to Luo Tian: "Although I am not your biological mother, I am also the queen, and your father is still alive, you should at least give me some face."
Both Roger and Luo Tian put away their swords, but they still hated each other.
Elaine was worried that the two would cause trouble again, so she said, "I am your mother. The emperor is unconscious, so I am in charge for now. From now on, follow the order just now and take turns to look after the emperor. I will be the first, followed by Rosa, then Roger, Roy, and finally Luo Tian. Each of you will have two hours, and then you can leave."
Luo Yi pulled Luo Tian and said, "Third brother, let's go out first and don't make mother angry again."
Rosa also said to Roger: "Brother, let's go out first and let father have a good rest."
Luo Tian didn't want to embarrass himself. Besides, Elaine was Rob's only wife. They had been together for more than 30 years. She would not harm his father. The most important thing now was to find the murderer and the person who poisoned him as soon as possible.
Luo Tian followed Roy to the living room, and Roger avoided Luo Tian and went back to the bedroom.
"Third brother, I know Roger just framed you. He has always coveted the throne and is capable of doing anything. But now the matter has not been investigated clearly and there is no evidence. We can only hope that father gets better soon." Roy said.
"By the way, do you know how father was poisoned?" Luo Tian asked.
Roy shook his head. "I wasn't there at the time. But Rosa said that she had dinner with my father and mother, and my father was in good health. Later, my father went to the study to discuss business with others in Kaiyuan, and he was gone for several hours. When my mother saw that my father hadn't come out, she went to the study to see him. At that time, he had already left Kaiyuan and was lying on the desk, unconscious. My mother saw that things were not going well, so she quickly called a doctor to check, and the doctor said that he was poisoned."
"So the poison was not put in the dinner, otherwise it would be impossible for only father to be poisoned." Luo Tian analyzed.
"Yes, after the doctor gave father the antidote, he and the guards checked the study again and found an opened bottle of wine on the desk. They took it back for testing and found the same poison in the wine. It's likely that the murderer put the poison in the wine." Roy said.
"I understand. The murderer's goal is very clear, which is to poison my father. Second brother, you rest here first. I will ask the guards how the investigation is going." Luo Tian said.
"You don't look well. I'll go with you." Roy said with concern.
"No need, you can rest here first. I have to be on duty soon, so I can do it alone." After Luo Tian said this, he turned around and left.
Luo Tian found Sharp and asked about the current progress of the investigation.
"Prince, we have checked all the servants and cooks in the Heavenly King Palace, but we haven't found the person who poisoned him yet," Sharp said.
"I heard that the emperor was poisoned by drinking alcohol. Have you followed up on this clue?" Luo Tian asked.
"We checked. We tested the fingerprints on the wine bottle and found only the emperor's own. No second person's fingerprints were found. And after the emperor entered the study, no one else went in," said Sharp.
"Take me to the study. No matter how clever the murderer is, he will leave traces." Luo Tian said.
Sharp led Luo Tian to the study, and two guards stood guard at the door to protect the scene.
