Chapter 1022 - 880 Doubts

Xie Pan’Er never expected that such a casual question could indirectly and directly wound the Emperor’s heart.

"He is in the Side Palace, searching for clues!"

Xie Pan’Er nodded, "That’s good! As long as Ji Divine Hunter is here, the real culprit will definitely not get away!"

These were honest words, and Xie Pan’Er truly thought this way.

However, when the Emperor heard it, his heart was ruthlessly pierced.

The sound of the Empress Dowager’s arrival came from outside!

Everyone in the room suddenly knelt down to Welcoming the Empress Dowager!

The Empress Dowager came in without a second thought, walking straight to the Emperor’s bedside.

"How is it? How could you be poisoned out of the blue?

Where is the tasting Eunuch?

Why didn’t they detect the food was poisonous?"

The moment she arrived, the Empress Dowager began her inquiry, hastily inspecting the Emperor’s condition!

She was extremely anxious!

"Mother, don’t worry, this is not a lethal poison. The Imperial Physicians have already detoxified me, it’s harmless!"

Upon hearing that the poison was detoxified, the Empress Dowager was relieved and promptly asked, "How is the investigation?

Who exactly is responsible for the poisoning?

Hurry up and find out for me, I will definitely have that person torn limb from limb!"

As the Empress Dowager finished her anger on this side, Ji Youzhi came out of the Side Palace from the other!

"Your Majesty! Your Highness! Ji Divine Hunter has finished examining the Side Palace and came over."

A small guard reminded them!

Everyone’s gaze turned to Ji Youzhi

Xie Pan’Er stepped forward, coming to Ji Youzhi’s side, and asked urgently, "How is it? Are there any clues? Who exactly wants to poison the Emperor?"

Seeing Xie Pan’Er’s anxious look, Ji Youzhi was slightly taken aback. He subtly glanced at the Emperor and concealed his raised mouth corners, quickly saying, "No conclusions yet!"

The Empress Dowager also tightly fixed her gaze on Ji Youzhi, glaring for his answer!

The Emperor lowered his eyes, not watching the interaction between Ji Youzhi and Xie Pan’Er!

Xiao Ning’Er jumped up directly, proclaiming, "This is really interesting, who else but you could poison the Emperor cousin? Yet you’re still here acting like a thief crying ’stop thief’!"

Xiao Ning’Er jumped up, drawing Ji Youzhi’s attention to her!

"You are Miss Xiao Ning’Er from the Duke’s Mansion?"

Upon hearing Ji Youzhi’s inquiry, Xiao Ning’Er snorted disdainfully, saying, "Yes, that’s me! Consider yourself observant enough to know me!"

Ji Youzhi scrutinized her from head to toe before asking, "Earlier, you said Xie Girl poisoned him. May I ask what evidence or clues you have?"

Upon hearing Ji Youzhi’s question, Xiao Ning’Er became excited, quickly saying, "I heard it too, today Emperor cousin didn’t eat anything at all; he only ate some wild vegetable cakes from Xie Pan’Er!

Those wild vegetable cakes were made by Xie Pan’Er herself. Other than her, who else could poison the Emperor cousin?"

Ji Youzhi couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.

"If according to Miss Xiao Ning’Er’s statement, whoever made the poisonous food is the culprit, then shouldn’t Xie Girl immediately be dragged out and decapitated?"

"Of course, Emperor cousin, quickly issue the order! Drag this malicious woman out to behead her as an example!"

When Xiao Ning’Er said this, her entire face was filled with a vicious expression, she looked as menacing as possible!

The Emperor, upon seeing such a grim look, didn’t want to speak much and turned to ask Ji Youzhi, "Do you have any clues?"

Ji Youzhi shook his head, "Currently, there are no leads."

"No leads?" The Emperor worriedly glanced at Xie Pan’Er. Although the wild vegetable cakes he had fully consumed were not leftover, he had not eaten anything else. Currently, the possibility of the wild vegetable cakes being poisoned is very high.

If no other poisoned food is found, then Xie Pan’Er...

The Emperor’s worried expression fell into Ji Youzhi’s line of sight, and he was actually comforted, having noticed earlier that Xie Pan’Er was genuinely concerned about the Emperor’s condition.

"Rest assured, even if no clues are found, I will have a way to uncover who the true culprit is!"

The Emperor never doubted Ji Youzhi’s abilities and said, "It’s all entrusted to you! Investigate boldly! Whoever it turns out to be, as long as the true culprit is found, I won’t tolerate them!"

Ji Youzhi nodded, cupping his hands and responding with "Yes."

Xiao Ning’Er’s voice interjected!

"Oh, Emperor cousin, why are you investigating anything?

The poison must have been put by Xie Pan’Er, no need to investigate!"
