Chapter 410: Sequence of ‘Unfortunate Events’!

I have to say that Wan Jiaxi's ability to persuade is quite strong.

When Amir turned back for the second time and called Shah Rukh impatiently, the Shudra of the White Elephant Kingdom finally spoke up and told him his discovery.

"The monster form the prince transformed into last night gave me a feeling that something was wrong."

"I think we should carefully examine the body of the mermaid in the crystal coffin."

"Maybe there will be new discoveries..."

Before Shah Rukh could finish, Amir's angry roar came for the third time:

"Shahrukh, if you don't come here now, don't ever come here again!"

"Here it comes..." Shah Rukh's face was bitter and he ran quickly towards his teammates.

Only Wan Jiaxi was left there thinking.

Take a good look at the mermaid's body?

what to check for?

……

Outside the palace.

The imperial physician's medicine garden.

Compared to its tranquility in the past, the medicine garden is now heavily guarded.

Seeing Lu Li and the others approaching, a heavily armored guard immediately stepped forward to stop them, saying sternly:

"What are you here for? Show me your visit token!"

Hearing this, Pan Xiaoxiao's heart tightened.

Evaded the entrance inspection.

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 panic on Lu Li's face. Instead, he looked around as if he was waiting for someone.

Before the heavily armored guards approached, an old voice came from the small wooden house in the center of the medicine garden:

"There is no need to check these people. They are the distinguished guests who came to visit the outer perimeter of the palace yesterday."

"That lady chatted with me for quite a while. They are not assassins..."

While they were talking, an old man with a white beard walked out of the wooden house and greeted Alyssa and the others with a smile:

"I am meeting you again, distinguished guest, but have you brought what I want?"

Faced with the old man's enthusiasm, Alyssa was rarely used to it.

Seeing the cat-eared girl shaking her head embarrassedly:

"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 a flash of disappointment in the old man's eyes, but he still looked at Lu Li with a smile:

"What do you want to ask? I will tell you everything I know."

Just as what was said in the guide, Whitebeard's imperial physician was very easy to talk to.

Lu Li thought to himself, and without further ado, he got straight to the point:

"Sir, I came here to confirm with you the chronological order of the 'unfortunate events' that have occurred in the Imperial City of Hatteras in recent years."

"You are the royal physician, you should know this very well."

Pan Xiaoxiao's pupils dilated slightly.

She obviously didn't expect that Lu Li's previous reluctance to bribe the heavily-armored guards was not because he didn't want to know the chronology of the 'unfortunate events'.

But I really want to 'save some money'!

Think about it too,

The king suffers from dementia, the queen is assassinated, his mermaid wife dies mysteriously, and the prince himself suffers from a strange disease.

Those who can be exposed to these "unfortunate events" at the first time,

Apart from the person who experienced the incident, the only one left was the imperial physician.

The old man with white beard had no intention of hiding anything.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he answered:

"If I remember correctly, it was the old king who started to lose his mind first."

"That was like a terrible beginning, a sign of impending disaster!"

"Afterwards, the prince also encountered danger."

"According to the prince's description, the storm that day came without any warning, raising huge waves and sinking the sailboat."

"Fortunately, the daughter of the sea, the mermaid, came to our aid and saved the only royal bloodline of Hatteras."

"But ever since the accident that day, the prince has been suffering from a strange disease."

"At first he could barely move around, but as time went on, his condition got worse."

"The prince's legs soon became as weak as an octopus's tentacles. He could no longer 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 the magic potion that could not be explained by human knowledge, and turned her face, which even gods envied, into an ordinary one. She turned her fish tail into human legs and ran towards the love that belonged to her without hesitation."

"It 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 assassinated."

"Misfortunes keep coming one after another, and it seems that they have no intention of letting the kind-hearted prince go."

"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 depression in his heart.

It can be seen that he really felt sorry for the kind prince and sincerely sympathized with the series of "unfortunate events".

"So the chronological order is the king, the prince, the queen and the mermaid..." Pan Xiaoxiao was surprised and muttered to herself silently.

Fortunately, Lu Li came to the imperial physician for confirmation.

Otherwise, you might make mistakes and affect your subsequent clearance.

Lu Li's conversation with the old man has not yet ended.

"Does the Hatteras royal family have a genetic history of dementia?" Lu Li asked.

The tone was calm, just like a friendly discussion between medical colleagues.

The white-bearded old man was obviously stunned. After hesitating for a moment, he asked uncertainly:

"Dear guest, what are you doing..."

"Oh, a little curiosity." Lu Li smiled:

"Please satisfy me, old sir."

"Oh..." The old man nodded and looked at Lu Li with more seriousness in his eyes:

"My father is the former royal physician of the Hatras Imperial City."

"According to his records, there is no hereditary history of dementia in the royal bloodline."

"Of course, no royal family has ever suffered from the strange disease of weak legs."

Lu Li nodded slightly and glanced at Pan Xiaoxiao out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that the other party was listening carefully, he continued to ask:

"Has the murderer who assassinated the queen been caught? What weapon did he use?"

The old man sighed, his expression angry:

"If caught, the assassin will be executed and his body will be hung on the city gate as a warning to others!"

"It's a pity that he ran away, like the waves washing up on the beach, and disappeared without a trace."

"As for the weapon... judging from the wound on the queen's chest, it should be a dagger."

"The blade is not long, and the deep cuts are rough."

"Especially the blood vessels connected to the heart, which were almost violently torn apart."

"The queen's heart is lost?" Pan Xiaoxiao suddenly interrupted, her face filled with unprecedented shock.

The old man frowned slightly, looked up and down at the lady who interrupted him rashly, and said hesitantly:

"Ma'am, what are you doing..."

"Oh, she is my assistant, she comes from the countryside and is very much attracted to the royal family of Hatteras, and especially admires the queen."

Lu Li lied without blushing or beating his heart, saying:

"Maybe I lost my composure after hearing your description just now."
