Chapter 212: Life and Death
Zhang Heyong's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, slashing straight at Cheng Jinzhi's heart, and even more so that this originally brightly lit hall instantly turned into a netherworld mansion, with a gust of wind and terrible. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In Cheng Jinzhi's view, Emperor Zhou, who was sitting on the dragon couch, was the king of Hades with a thin life and death book in his hand at the moment, with a bare face and blue eyebrows, as if a lonely ghost ran out and pinched her neck in the next second, dragging her into the eighteenth layer of hell in dire straits.
Not to mention others, even the crown prince, who thought that Cheng Jinzhi was not well-intentioned, never expected that she would dare to lie in front of Emperor Zhou that poison was the antidote, and blatantly wanted to murder the queen.
Besides, no matter how Cheng Jinzhi looks at it, he doesn't look like a person who would do such a stupid thing.
"This can't be, you must be wrong, this medicine can never be poisonous!"
Cheng Jinzhi froze in disbelief, and after a while, he slowly eased up what Zhang Heyong said.
She took a few steps forward in an emotional state, her chest heaving violently, and a buzzing noise echoed in her ears, plunging her into a state of disbelief and overwhelming.
"Imperial Doctor Zhang, are you really sure that this medicine has been soaked in Broken Intestine Grass and is highly toxic?"
At this time, although Emperor Zhou was calm on the surface, he was already angry in his heart, and even his tone became terrifying.
He looked at Cheng Jinzhi, whose face had changed drastically in front of him, and suddenly tightened his cheeks, as if he was about to kill.
"Back to Your Majesty, this poison is usually easy to obtain, and the minister has seen it no less than ten times, and he has also used it for experiments, so he will never be mistaken. The reason why this bowl of water turns green is because it is stained with the juice of the broken intestine grass. ”
Zhang Heyong said seriously, asked a eunuch to take the bowl well, took out a row of silver needles from the placket, took one of them and put it into the bowl of water that had turned green, and when he took it out again, he saw that the part of the silver needle immersed in the water was dazzling black.
"Okay, Cheng Jinzhi, you really ate the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and you dared to use poison to deceive your father and try to murder your mother!"
At the same time, the prince's tone was sharp and mixed with a few hints of joy sounded in his ears.
At this moment, Cheng Jinzhi seemed to hear the sound of the head on his neck being cut off with a "click".
But she didn't think about her own safety first, but focused all her attention on this bottle of medicine.
Even though everything in front of her was enough to prove that this "Nine Xuan Hundred Herbs Treasure Pill" was indeed highly poisonous, no matter what, she was unwilling to accept this fact.
Because this is a gift from Gu Hanqing, since it was given by him, since it was given by him sincerely, how could it be poisonous?
Thinking like this, she suddenly felt a heart-wrenching sourness in her heart, and almost burst into tears in public.
Cheng Jinzhi turned his head to look at Gao Heng, but saw that he was also incredulous, but in addition to the heavy suspicion between his eyebrows, he was more deeply worried about her situation at this time.
"Cheng Jinzhi, you are so bold! you dare to try to kill the queen in front of me, who is coming!"
"Father!"
Gao Heng saw that Emperor Zhou was furious, and knew that the situation was already precarious, so he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Jin Zhi will never do such a rebellious thing, there must be some misunderstanding in this, and I ask my father to learn from it." ”
Concubine Hui was also anxious at this time, and her eyes were desolate. She followed Gao Heng's words and pleaded with Emperor Zhou earnestly: "Yes, Your Majesty, Jin Zhi is bent on clearing the suspicion of his concubine, so he handed over this medicine." She has always been pure and kind-hearted, and she will never harm anyone, let alone the queen mother? Besides, if she dares to hand over the poison, even if she can escape the eyes of Imperial Doctor Zhang, she will have to bear the consequences in the end. She's not stupid, but wouldn't she be self-defeating by doing so?"
"Hmph, this medicine was taken out by her own hands, everyone in this hall can see it clearly, did I still wronged her!"
Emperor Zhou suddenly raised his hand and slapped the table in his hand, so shocked that the teacup on his head almost fell to the ground.
In fact, Emperor Zhou was not the kind of tyrant who convicted people indiscriminately and sentenced them to death.
It's only because he is now angered by Cheng Jinzhi's chaotic behavior, and people are inevitably impulsive when they are angry, so they want to deal with it without saying anything.
Gao Heng knew that only by calming him down and calming down his emotions could he have a chance to let Cheng Jinzhi escape.
"Father, what the son means is that Jin Zhi also said just now that this medicine was given by a friend, and this may be the friend's ......."
Gao Heng suddenly stopped for a moment when he said this, and a look of embarrassment filled his dark and cold eyes.
He really didn't want to admit that this was Gu Hanqing's doing, but the current situation was critical, whether he believed it or not, in front of Emperor Zhou, he had to push the matter to Gu Hanqing first.
"He won't do it, he won't harm our ......"
Cheng Jinzhi looked at Gao Heng almost with a crying voice, although he knew that he was trying to save himself by doing this, he still couldn't help but want to deny it.
"Third brother, don't you want to say that this bottle of medicine was manipulated by the friend that Princess Yan said in her mouth, and Princess Yan herself didn't know about it, right?"
Seeing that Gao Heng wanted to speak and stopped, the prince quickly understood his intentions, so he interrupted with a smile, and his eyes were filled with a gloomy and sinister color.
"It's almost the same as you deceive a three-year-old child. How wise is my father, and how can he be confused by your words? Or is it that in fact, the poisoning and murder of the queen mother was done by your family in conspiracy, and since your princess is an accomplice, so are you. Maybe you're behind all this!"
The prince's words were appropriate, causing a lot of ripples in Emperor Zhou's heart, he squinted his eyes, every inch of his gaze was as sharp as a knife, and he locked on Gao Heng's body inch by inch, as if he was speculating about something.
And from Emperor Zhou's eyes, Cheng Jinzhi saw suspicion, suspicion, and even a trace of indifference.
It is precisely because he is too self-righteous and ill-thinking that he will involve Gao Heng and Concubine Hui, and bring things to the point where there is no way out.
At this moment, Cheng Jinzhi only felt that she was a sinner, a big sinner who should not be forgiven.
"Big brother, if you say that, it's too insulting to our intelligence. ”
Gao Heng smiled coldly, and his cold and piercing gaze like a wind sword and frost sword swept across the prince's face.
He has always been an indomitable man, even if he is attacked in the back and the abyss of death is under his feet, he will never compromise easily.
But Cheng Jinzhi is not.
Now her shoulders are full of guilt that implicates others, and she weighs on her like a thousand pounds.
She knew very well that if no one took the initiative to bear this sin, then all three of them might be condemned, and even if Concubine Hui could save her life, she would be stripped of her title as a concubine and fall into a situation where she could not turn over.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Gao Heng, who wants to compete with the prince for the storage position.
It was an outcome she definitely didn't want to see.
In that case, only if she stands up and bears all the sins now can she save the person she wants to save, right?
