Chapter 19 Protect Him
Because of the poisoned wine, Luo Qinghan couldn't sleep the whole night yesterday.
He had to find out the source of the poisoned wine and keep everyone at the scene silent so that the matter would not be spread, in order to avoid a scandal of royal brothers killing each other for the position of crown prince.
As for the eldest prince Luo Yechen, as the person directly involved in this case, he was politely invited back to his own residence.
Until the truth is revealed, Luo Yechen cannot leave the mansion.
By the time Luo Qinghan finished all these, it was already bright outside.
Eunuch Chang advised him to take a rest.
Luo Qinghan pinched his temples, his voice a little hoarse due to lack of sleep.
"How is Xiao Liangdi?"
"The imperial physician said that the rescue was timely and Xiao Liang Di is no longer in danger. She will recover after a period of rest."
Luo Qinghan decided to go see Xiao Liangdi.
In order not to disturb Xiao Liangdi's rest, Luo Qinghan did not allow Eunuch Chang to make any sound, and they entered Qingge Palace quietly.
When I walked to the bedroom door, I just heard Xiao Xixi say -
"I knew that the wine was poisoned, but I still drank it. It has nothing to do with the prince."
Luo Qinghan paused.
Eunuch Chang, who was following closely behind, had a slightly changed expression on his face. He waved his hand, and the palace maids and eunuchs behind him immediately tactfully retreated.
In the bedroom, Xiao Xixi was explaining to Baoqin.
"Last night I saw the eldest prince's forehead was dark and cloudy, which clearly showed that he had a bad luck. Especially when he handed me the wine, I saw that the dark clouds above his head were almost black enough to drip water. My intuition told me that there might be something wrong with the wine. I snatched the wine and smelled it, and I really smelled the scent of poison."
Baoqin was confused: "Why didn't I see the dark clouds over the eldest prince's head?"
"That's because you don't have your clairvoyance. I have a special fate, so I was born with it. I can see these things with just a glance."
Seeing that Baoqin still didn't quite understand, Xiao Xixi continued to explain.
"Think about it. If the Crown Prince had really drunk that cup of poisoned wine last night, whether the Crown Prince was dead or not, the crime of poisoning the Crown Prince would fall on the First Prince's head. Even if he didn't die, he would be badly injured. Isn't that bad luck?"
Baoqin suddenly realized that this was what dark clouds covering the sky meant!
She snorted, "That's what he deserves. Who told him to poison the prince?!"
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "It's not as simple as you think. No matter how stupid the eldest prince is, he can't poison the crown prince in public. It's not like he doesn't want to live."
"You mean, the eldest prince was framed?"
"Maybe."
Baoqin frowned. These conspiracies and intrigues were beyond the understanding of a little palace maid like her.
She then asked, "Since you knew the wine was poisonous, why did you drink it?"
Outside the door.
Luo Qinghan frowned, feeling the same confusion.
If you know it is poisonous, why do you still drink it?
He heard the woman in the room speak in her usual lazy tone.
"I have to protect him."
"My physique is very special. Ordinary poisons cannot harm me. But the prince is different. He is just an ordinary person. If he drinks that cup of poisoned wine, even if he doesn't die, he will lose half his life."
"I can't let him get hurt. I have to keep him safe."
Baoqin was still puzzled: "You can just tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the wine is poisoned."
"The prince won't believe me."
"How could that be? You are the Crown Prince's man, you won't harm him."
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "You don't understand."
In the palace, not to mention the person next to you, even your parents and brothers can be killed.
As the crown prince, Luo Qinghan is the common enemy of all the princes.
He is the target of public criticism.
He can't trust anyone.
