Chapter 410 The sequence of ‘unfortunate events’!
It has to be said that Wan Jiaxi's persuasive ability is relatively strong.
When Amir turned back for the second time and called Shah Rukh extremely impatiently, the Sudra of the White Elephant Kingdom finally relented and revealed his discovery.
"The monster form that the prince transformed into last night made me feel something was wrong."
"I think the body of the mermaid in the crystal coffin should be carefully examined."
"Maybe there will be new discoveries..."
Before Shah Rukh could finish speaking, Amir's violent roar came over for the third time:
"Shah Rukh, if you don't come here again, never come again!"
"Here we come..." Shah Rukh ran towards his teammates quickly with a bitter look on his face.
Wan Jiaxi was left alone to think where he was.
Take a good look at the mermaid's body?
What to check?
…
Outside the palace.
The Royal Physician's Medicine Garden.
Compared with the tranquility of the past, the medicine garden today is heavily guarded.
Seeing Lu Li and others approaching, a heavily armored guard immediately stepped forward to stop him and said sternly:
"What are you here for? Show me your visit token!"
Hearing this, Pan Xiaoxiao's heart tightened.
Escaped the inspection at the entrance,
I didn't expect that it would be planted in the medicine garden.
She couldn't help but glance at Lu Li.
But the young man's calm reaction left her a little confused.
There was no trace of panic on Lu Li's face. Instead, he looked around as if he was waiting for someone.
Before the heavily armored guards could approach, an old shout came from the small wooden house in the center of the medicine garden:
"These people don't need to be checked. They are distinguished guests who came to visit the palace yesterday."
"The lady chatted with me for a long time. They are not assassins..."
While shouting, an old man with a white beard walked out of the wooden house and greeted Alyssa and others with a smile:
"I met the distinguished guest again, but he brought something I wanted?"
Facing the old man's enthusiasm, Alyssa was rarely used to it.
Seeing the cat-eared lady shaking her head in embarrassment:
"No, grandpa, I just came here with my master to ask you something."
At the same time, he hid behind the young man.
There was obviously a look of disappointment in the old man's eyes, but he still looked at Lu Li with a smile:
"What does your distinguished guest want to ask? I will tell you everything I know."
As expected, as mentioned in the guide, the white-bearded doctor is very easy to talk to.
Lu Li thought to himself, and went straight to the point without being polite:
"Sir, I'm here to confirm with you the chronology of the 'unfortunate events' that have occurred in Hatteras Imperial City in recent years."
"You are a royal physician and should know this very well."
Pan Xiaoxiao's pupils opened slightly.
She obviously didn't expect that Lu Li's previous unwillingness to bribe the armored guards was not because he didn't want to know the sequence of the 'unfortunate events'.
But I really want to ‘save some money’!
Come to think of it,
The king is demented, the queen is assassinated, the mermaid wife dies mysteriously, and the prince himself suffers from a strange disease.
Those who can be exposed to these ‘unfortunate events’ for the first time,
Apart from the person who experienced the incident, the only one left was the imperial doctor.
The old man with the white beard had no intention of hiding it.
After just thinking for a moment, he answered:
"If I remember correctly, it was the old king who became confused first."
"That was like a terrible beginning, a harbinger of doom!"
"Afterwards, the prince also encountered danger."
"From the prince's description, the storm came without warning that day, setting off huge waves and sinking the sailboat."
"Fortunately, the daughter of the sea, the mermaid, came to help and saved Hatteras' only royal bloodline."
"But ever since that day he was killed, the prince has suffered from a strange illness."
"At first I could barely move, but as time went by, my condition worsened."
"The prince's legs soon became like the tentacles of an octopus. They were weak and unable to walk normally, let alone dance."
"Later, the prince found the mermaid who saved him, the one lying in the crystal coffin."
"Her name is Emily, a very beautiful name."
"She drank a magic potion that could not be explained by human knowledge, turned a face that even the gods were jealous of into an ordinary one, turned the fish tail into human legs, and ran towards her love without hesitation."
"This was originally a very romantic thing, but unfortunately, it didn't last long."
"Not long after the prince's wedding, his mother, the Queen of Hatteras, was unfortunately assassinated."
"Misfortunes are coming one after another, and it seems that they have no intention of letting go of the kind-hearted prince."
"Less than a week after the queen was buried, the prince's mermaid wife also died inexplicably."
When the old man said this, he sighed heavily, as if he wanted to let out the frustration in his heart.
It can be seen that he really feels for the kind prince and sincerely sympathizes with the series of 'unfortunate events'.
"It turns out that the order of time is king, prince, queen and mermaid..." Pan Xiaoxiao was surprised and said silently to himself.
Fortunately, Lu Li came to see the imperial doctor for confirmation.
Otherwise, it is really possible to make a mistake, which will affect subsequent clearance.
The conversation between Lu Li and the old man was not over yet.
"Does the Hatteras royal family have a genetic history of dementia?" Lu Li asked.
The tone was calm, like a friendly discussion between medical colleagues.
The old man with the white beard was obviously taken aback. After hesitating for a moment, he asked with some uncertainty:
"Dear guest, what are you..."
"Oh, a little bit of curiosity." Lu Li smiled:
"Please satisfy me, old gentleman."
"Oh..." The old man nodded and looked at Lu Li more seriously:
"My father was the previous imperial physician of Hatteras Imperial City."
"According to his records, there is no genetic history of dementia in the royal bloodline."
"Of course, no royal family has ever suffered from the strange disease of weak legs."
While Lu Li nodded slightly, he quickly glanced at Pan Xiaoxiao from the corner of his eye.
Seeing that the other party was listening carefully, he continued to ask:
"Did you catch the murderer who assassinated the queen? What weapon did he use?"
The old man sighed with an angry expression:
"If caught, the assassin will definitely be sentenced to death, and his body will be hung on the city gate as a warning to others!"
"It's a pity that he ran away and disappeared without a trace like he washed up in the waves on the beach."
"As for the weapon... I judge from the wound on the queen's chest that it should be a dagger."
"The blade is not long, and the deep cuts are rough."
"Especially the part of the blood vessels connected to the heart, which was almost violently severed."
"Did the Queen lose her heart?" Pan Xiaoxiao suddenly interrupted, his face filled with unprecedented shock.
The old man frowned slightly, looked up and down at the lady who interrupted hastily, and said hesitantly:
"Ma'am, this is..."
"Oh, she is my assistant. She comes from the countryside. She is very attracted to the royal family of Hatteras, especially the queen."
Lu Li's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he lied casually:
"Maybe I lost my temper a little bit when I heard your description just now."
