A packet of arsenic｜frost, left there for a while, it disappeared...
Changle was the person he trusted the most, and he would definitely not lie. But Duan Changchuan himself really didn't remember it. It was as if his memory of the bag of drugs had disappeared out of thin air, and he had no impression of it at all.
"How about... I open it and take a look?"
Changle asked him while holding the small bag.
Duan Changchuan shook his head and took the small package. "Why not ask the secret guards to come and ask? They stay in the study all year round. If this package of arsenic has been touched by someone, they should know."
The main thing is that Duan Changchuan himself doesn't remember anything, and this bag of arsenic seems to have been kept in the study all the time, so the secret guards must know all the ins and outs.
The young man shouted into the void, and two men in black immediately and silently fell to the ground.
Both of them wore wide hoods on their heads, with the brims covering their foreheads, hiding half of their faces in the shadow of the hats.
"What do you want, Your Majesty?"
They both spoke at the same time.
Duan Changchuan handed the arsenic to them and asked, "Have you ever seen this package?"
The two looked at each other, and then one of them spoke up, "Your Majesty, this package of arsenic was indeed prepared by you at the request of Eunuch Changle. After it was handed to you, it was placed in that cabinet. During our guarding, no one touched it."
Changle couldn't help but frown and stepped forward: "But I think there is less arsenic. If no one has touched it, how can it become less?"
After a moment of silence, the secret guard asked, "Your Majesty, could you please show me the medicine bag?"
Duan Changchuan immediately handed over the medicine bag.
The two secret guards passed the medicine bag to each other, weighed it in their hands, and replied affirmatively: "The medicine inside must have been used, and now only an empty shell is left. Your Majesty and Eunuch Changle, please cover your mouth and nose, and I will check it again."
Both of them stepped back immediately, covering their noses with their sleeves.
After the inspection was completed, the secret guard carefully wrapped the item and handed it back to Changle: "It is indeed arsenic, but there are only some residues left. Almost all of it has been used by someone. I don't know where it was used."
For a moment, everyone present became nervous at the same time.
A packet of deadly poison disappeared out of thin air right under the noses of the secret guards...
You know, the secret guards in the study room are on duty for twelve hours a day without interruption. It is impossible for someone to come in quietly and leave quietly.
It was already bizarre that the poison disappeared under such circumstances. What was even more bizarre was that Duan Changchuan, who ordered the poison, had no memory of its existence from beginning to end.
"Your Majesty, should we ask the officials from the Imperial Observatory to come and take a look? I feel a little uneasy."
Changle spoke tremblingly, his eyes scanning the house nervously.
Duan Changchuan: …
It must be said that after the resurrection of a certain Alpha, he is now much bolder.
"Okay, be brave and show some energy. Where did all these monsters come from? From what I can see, it's just people making trouble."
He spoke with great righteousness, as if he was not the one who was frightened by Bai Su and almost had a miscarriage a few days ago.
The innocent little white flower was immediately frightened and praised him repeatedly: "Your Majesty is brave."
-
The secret guard who had been silent the whole time spoke hesitantly: "In fact, I was not always guarding the study. On the eve of the wedding, His Majesty ordered us to go to bed. The secret guards on duty outside were all there, but that night, no one was in the study."
After the secret guard said this, Changle also remembered: "That's what happened. At that time, I wanted to help Your Majesty go to bed, but Your Majesty said that he wanted to sit alone quietly for a while and didn't need to be served, so I left."
"Your Majesty told me that I have worked hard these years, and I will take advantage of your big day to give you a day off."
Then, everyone in the room looked at Duan Changchuan.
The answer is almost there on the surface of the riddle: the person who wanted the arsenic was Duan Changchuan, who had placed the medicine in the first place, and who had sent the secret guards away the only night they were not there. Now, the medicine had been tampered with.
"Your Majesty, what did you do with this poison?"
Changle was confused.
There were no dead people in the palace, not even a dead mouse. The poison must have not been used yet.
The only person who touched the package of medicine doesn't remember anything.
The young eunuch was about to cry: "When I think of the untouched bag of arsenic in this palace, I become even more cautious..."
Duan Changchuan... Cough, he yawned a little.
I don’t know if it’s psychological factors, but when I suddenly found out that I was pregnant today, I always felt very sleepy and needed sleep very much.
"Your Majesty...!" the young eunuch exclaimed, his eyes wide open: "Such a big thing has happened, and you are actually sleepy!"
[Such a serious incident, can you still sleep? ]
The young man coughed guiltily, sat up straight on the couch, and touched his sleeves with a twinkling look in his eyes: "... In my current situation, it's normal for me to feel sleepy."
Changle, stunned.
The two secret guards quickly lowered their heads, looked at their noses and their hearts, pretending to be deaf.
"Then... then I will wait for you to go to bed first, and then I will look around for you."
Duan Changchuan: "I think my sudden amnesia is more serious..."
Changle immediately:!!!
He knocked his head quickly and said, "I am confused. I will go ask Yu Sheng now!"
Having said that, he ran out.
"Come back, don't you see what time it is? Go ask tomorrow. It's been so long, you don't care about one night."
The young eunuch came back with a gloomy face: "Yes, Yusheng is only nine years old, he should have fallen asleep by now... How far did Doctor Fang go? Why hasn't he come back yet..."
After a while, he said, "No, I have to do something... Your Majesty, I should find out where the arsenic has gone."
If this wasn't the case because this was the emperor's study, he would have been so anxious that he would have walked around in circles.
The young man sighed helplessly, "Don't look for it. I must have put this packet of arsenic cream somewhere else, but I just forgot about it. If you look everywhere for it and can't find it, it's fine. But if you find it and you accidentally touch it, what if you get poisoned?"
“… It’s no use if I can’t find it, and it’s no use if I find it… Wow, wow, what should I do?”
Duan Changchuan: …
Just ask Yiman to come and lead the people.
Before leaving, Changle, supported by his disciple, turned back and told him, "Your Majesty, don't stay in the study by yourself. Why don't you go to Qinglu Palace with the Queen?"
The young man waved his hand at the people: "Maybe I have poisoned Qinglu Palace."
…
Then, everyone heard Changle's voice breaking from the Mingsheng Palace: "... Your Majesty!"
Then, the Grand Steward was dragged out of the temple by Yi Man.
That night, the news that the chief steward had fallen out of favor spread like wildfire, and half of the people in the palace could not sleep that night.
These are not listed in detail for now.
-
Bai Su's hair was dried, but her little one didn't come over to sleep.
Just as he was about to go out to give him a few reminder, he heard Changle's broken voice, "Your Majesty".
What is this about
He put on his clothes and hurried out, only to see his little emperor sitting alone in a chair, leaning one hand on the table, in a daze.
"What's wrong? Are you angry with Changle? He still doesn't believe it?"
As she spoke, she walked up to the little guy and touched his head.
The young man raised his neck and looked at her with his dark eyes.
Beside me, candlelight flickered.
"What's wrong, baby? What happened?"
Noticing that the Omega was feeling down, she bent down and touched his cheek.
It has been more than two months since I came to this world. The characteristics of a young Omega have become more and more apparent, and my skin has become better and better, smooth and soft to the touch.
"I just suddenly became curious... Since we both come from the same world, and the person in your body is dead, then has the person in my body always been me?"
"If I am the same as you... then what about the person in this body?"
Bai Su was stunned by his question.
When she first came here, her understanding of herself came from the abo modern world.
The memories of the original owner of this world were injected into her brain bit by bit. She even watched someone cut her wrists one by one. So she knew that the Bai Su in this world was dead. It was because "Bai Su" died that she naturally occupied this body.
But she ignored the fact that Duan Changchuan and she clearly came from the same node.
According to this reasoning... isn't that also the case for Duan Changchuan
She quickly gathered her clothes and bent down: "Baby, what happened? Tell me."
The boy turned his head and looked away: "Nothing..."
"Baby..." she called softly.
The boy said nothing.
"Can you rely on me a little more? I'm your Alpha. Is there anything you can't tell me? I can only help you if you tell me. Even if I can't help you much, at least I can help you analyze it. Don't always carry it on your own. How much can you handle alone? If you keep things in your heart for too long, problems will arise."
"Baby, I don't want anything to happen to you."
She held his hand and spoke slowly, and the boy looked at her quietly.
After a long time, he finally spoke to her:
"I asked Changle for a bag of arsenic cream earlier... but I don't remember it at all. Now the arsenic cream is gone..."
"The secret guards and Changle saw it. I wanted the arsenic and put it there. But I don't remember... Bai Su, I don't remember."
The young man, who had remained calm in front of the secret guards and Changle just now and could even joke with them, now spoke with trembling voice.
The tightly clenched hands are cold.
Bai Su quickly stood up and hugged the person in her arms: "It's okay, you will remember it later. We just came to this world, and our bodies are slowly recovering to our own. Didn't your glands and pheromones only start to show up recently? Your memory will slowly come back too."
The boy wrapped his arms around her tightly.
His cheek was buried deep into her chest.
"But... I'm afraid that I'm actually dead."
"Bai Su... I'm so scared..."
The author has something to say:
Ying...
Duan Xiaochuan in front of others: (Calmly joking) (Yawn) I'm sleepy.
Duan Xiaochuan in front of Bai Jie: I'm so scared QAQ (crying)
