Chapter 1691: What About The Food Box?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“After all, only the chamberlain who serves Qu Xiao can freely enter and leave Qu Xiao’s room. The Cloud Guard and Liao Xiaodong only knew that Qu Xiao had disappeared after hearing the chamberlain’s shout. If Qu Xiao disappeared on his own, where did he disappear to? How did he disappear? Why did he disappear? Moreover, if it was done by the servants who served Qu Xiao, how did those servants manage to get Qu Xiao away without anyone noticing?”

“When you searched the room, did you not find anything suspicious?” Jiang Yue asked the Cloud Guard. When the chamberlain went in and out of Qu Xiao’s room, there wasn’t anything wrong?”

The Cloud Guard shook his head. “No, we searched both inside and outside. We dug up the floor and walls, but we didn’t find anything wrong. We didn’t suspect anything wrong with the servant. After the Dongxiao’s Emperor drank the calming soup, he fell asleep. The inner servant left and guarded outside with us. We even chatted a little. If it wasn’t for the fact that it was late and it was time for dinner, the servants wouldn’t have even come. We wouldn’t have known that the Dongxiao’s Emperor had already disappeared from the room.”

Food?

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan immediately grasped the main point and looked at each other again.

“How big is the food box?” Jiang Yue asked again. Did you check it when you brought it in? When you realized that Qu Xiao was missing from the room, did you open the lunchbox and take a look?”

The Cloud Guard wasn’t st*pid. When he heard this, he reacted and quickly replied, “The food box is quite big and has many layers. We have been escorting the diplomatic team for the past few days. Every day, we use this kind of food box to deliver food to the citizens of Dongxiao. We always see the servant opening the food box and taking out dish after dish. Every time, it would fill the table. The Dongxiao’s Emperor would only taste every dish. Some of them would not even taste it. We all thought that he was just pampered and had a picky mouth. He usually ate like this. Therefore, today at the courier station, we saw him carrying that kind of food box and entering his room and didn’t think much of it. In addition, the chamberlain opened the food box outside the door and looked at the top layer. It was indeed vegetables, so we didn’t pay much attention to it. We thought that every layer of the food box was filled with vegetables. Now that we think about it, the chamberlain deliberately opened the top layer to take a look so that we wouldn’t check the rest. We were distracted when we realized that the Emperor of Dongxiao was missing from the room. The servants were so worried that they cried. The food box was right beside them, and it looked like they had just carried it in. We didn’t care about the food box. Thinking about the size of the food box, if there were only vegetables on the first floor and that the bottom was empty… It could indeed accommodate a child. I shall go back now and capture those servants and rummage through the food boxes!”

“Don’t be in a hurry to go back.” Xue Yan stopped him. “How long has it been? At that time, you were in a mess. When you were looking for it outside, the food box must have been replaced. You won’t be able to find it even if you go back. No matter what, those servants were all people from Dongxiao. They didn’t catch anything wrong with the food boxes on the spot, and the food box holding the Emperor might have gone, so it wouldn’t be easy to interrogate them. We just need as much information as we can get right now.”

After that, Xue Yan looked at Jiang Yue and said, “It seems like Qu Xiao disappeared on his own. Those servants who served him… They’re likely his trusted aides. Moreover, he was dozing off after eating the calming soup, so he wasn’t dead. The servants shouted not long after they entered, and there wasn’t any resistance or abnormal sound from outside. After the servants entered, they quickly opened the food box and let Qu Xiao enter.”
