Chapter 32 Already Dead
Luo Qinghan asked calmly, "So, you've been planning how to get close to me since the day you entered the palace for the selection?"
Xiao Xixi felt a little guilty and replied in a low voice: "Yeah."
There was scrutiny in Luo Qinghan's eyes as he looked at her, as if he was getting to know the woman in front of him all over again.
He originally thought that the other party was a naive person who could be seen through at a glance, but now it seems that he underestimated her.
Xiao Xixi didn't dare to look at the other person's expression.
She approached Luo Qinghan deliberately with a purpose. Now that Luo Qinghan knows the truth, he must be very disappointed in her, right?
She lowered her head, looking pitiful like a young wife who had done something wrong.
After a long while, Luo Qinghan finally spoke slowly: "Does your sect mission have a deadline?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "No."
"That's good. My father is now in his prime, and I can't succeed to the throne in a short time. Do you understand?"
Xiao Xixi nodded: "I understand, this matter cannot be rushed."
Luo Qinghan took a sip of tea and changed the subject: "I am investigating the poisoned wine today."
Xiao Xixi asked, "Did you find out anything?"
"Zhao Xian found out that there was no poison in the wine, but my wine glass was poisoned. I had people find all the people who might have touched the wine glass, and questioned them one by one. Finally, the person was found to be a palace maid named Tanhua. Someone saw Tanhua appear in Fengqi Garden, and she looked flustered, as if she had done something unspeakable. Tanhua originally worked in the imperial kitchen. Zhao Xian took people to search her residence and found a packet of poison, which was the same poison you were poisoned with."
Xiao Xixi said: "Then catch Epiphyllum and ask her."
"I sent someone to catch Epiphyllum, but found that she was gone."
"Gone?"
"Well, Zhao Xian searched all the places where she could appear, and questioned the palace maids and eunuchs who had contact with her one by one, but there was no result. It was as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth, and no one knew where she went."
Xiao Xixi asked: "Is this what is bothering you, Your Highness?"
Luo Qinghan said, "My mother asked me to find out the truth about the poisoned wine tomorrow. Today is almost over, but Epiphyllum is nowhere to be found. I can't explain to my mother."
"Your Highness, do you know the date of birth of Epiphyllum?"
Luo Qinghan looked at her in confusion: "What do you want to do?"
"I can calculate the location of Epiphyllum, but I need to know the date of its birth."
Luo Qinghan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that people in the Xuanmen sect could not only seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, but also be able to tell fortunes.
The Internal Affairs Bureau had detailed information on all the palace maids and eunuchs. Luo Qinghan sent someone to the Bureau to look through the files and quickly found out Tanhua's birth date.
A piece of paper with her birth date written on it was placed in front of Xiao Xixi.
Luo Qinghan looked at Xiao Xixi, wanting to know how she calculated it.
She just glanced at the contents on the paper, then closed her eyes and stopped moving.
After a moment.
Xiao Xixi opened her eyes, her face a little pale: "One hundred feet to the southwest, it's surrounded by water."
She paused and added.
"The person should be dead."
Luo Qinghan stared at her: "You don't look very well, do you want to find a doctor to take a look at you?"
"No, when I was calculating just now, I felt what Epiphyllum felt before dying. I feel a little uncomfortable. I will be fine after a good sleep."
Because of Xiao Xixi's special fate, she can't help but have empathy every time she does calculations.
The despair, fear, and grief that Epiphyllum felt before her death were projected into Xiao Xixi's heart, making her also experience the fear that death brought.
Luo Qinghan thought that it would be better to use this method of calculation less often.
"Go to sleep. I'll come see you tomorrow."
"I respectfully send you off, Your Highness."
