Chapter 225: Clever Arguments

Gao Heng's words hit the nail on the head, making Zhang Heyong shake all over, the muscles in his cheeks jumped twice rapidly, and he hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to be stupid for some reason. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"His Royal Highness King Yan, Weichen... Wechen didn't understand what His Highness was talking about..."

I regret it in my heart, because of a momentary negligence, I made such a life-threatening mistake, which not only exposed Queen Zhao's sinister intentions, but also really set herself on fire and brought about her own destruction.

At the same time, he could clearly feel a very sharp gaze projecting diagonally from him.

He subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see that Empress Zhao was glaring at him fiercely with an eye that was enough to kill people, wishing to eat him alive.

"You don't understand?" Gao Heng glanced at him coldly, "Then the king wants to ask Imperial Doctor Zhang, since the queen mother is poisoned by the red feathers, why didn't there be a rash around the eyes as Imperial Doctor He said?"

"It's because... Because..."Zhang Heyong snorted for a while, rolled his eyes, and explained calmly, "Oh, Your Highness doesn't know, this person's physique is different, and the reaction to each medicine and the symptoms shown are also different, probably because the queen's physique is not easy to allergies, and the amount of food poison is very small, so even if you are poisoned by Chilingsan, you may not necessarily have a red rash." It's like... Just like some people have a fever and have measles, some people don't. Besides......"

"Besides, Bengong has already taken the antidote, and there is no more red feather toxin in the body, so naturally there will be no more red rashes. ”

Listening to Zhang Heyong's reluctant explanation, Empress Zhao didn't care about weighing the pros and cons, and hurriedly took out the antidote sent by Zhao Xinzhi before, and even her voice was much brighter and more powerful than before.

"The antidote, where did you get the antidote?" Emperor Zhou frowned and looked at the medicine bottle in Empress Zhao's hand, and said with dark eyes, "Since I have found the antidote for the empress, why didn't anyone come to tell me?"

He immediately looked at Zhang Heyong, who was raising his sleeves to wipe his sweat, but there was no trust in his eyes: "Zhang Heyong, you found this antidote?"

"Your Majesty, this is sent by the concubine's brother just now. Empress Zhao interjected unhurriedly, "Because I heard that Your Majesty is discussing with the ministers in the study, the concubines have not had time to inform Your Highness." The concubine asked Imperial Doctor Zhang to come, and it was precisely for this matter. ”

Empress Zhao suddenly threw out such a chip, and when she heard the corners of Gao Heng's eyebrows, she couldn't help but feel a little unexpected.

However, what he didn't expect was not that Empress Zhao would come up with an antidote to justify herself, but that this matter would be related to Zhao Xinzhi.

No matter how you look at it, it feels a little unbelievable.

"What does the queen mean, this bottle of antidote was sent into the palace by Marquis Zhao?"

"That's right. Empress Zhao raised her chin and said proudly, "If King Yan doesn't believe it, you can send someone to ask the guards on duty at the palace gate today to see if anyone from the Marquis of An'an has come to the palace today." If you still don't believe it, you can also go directly to the Hou Mansion to ask Marquis Zhao, anyway, the palace is sitting up straight, and you won't be afraid of half a point. ”

Gao Heng naturally thought that if Empress Zhao was forced to jump off the wall in a hurry, if she had an antidote, she would definitely pretend that Zhang Heyong had found an antidote for herself to take, and use this to prove her innocence.

But even so, in Emperor Zhou's view, from the time he entered the Zhenghe Palace, the words and deeds of Empress Zhao and Zhang Heyong were fundamentally inconsistent, very suspicious, and there was a great suspicion of collusion.

It's just that now that Zhao Xinzhi, an important person, has suddenly moved out, the queen has shown a fearless and calm attitude, and the situation that was originally extremely unfavorable to her seems to have a great tendency to turn around.

This is something that Gao Heng will never allow and never want to see.

He was now basically able to determine that this bottle of antidote should have been sent by Zhao Xinzhi.

However, this marquis has long been in seclusion, and his relationship with Queen Zhao has been quite cold over the years, and the antidote was suddenly sent at this critical time, is it a coincidence, or is it for some other unknown purpose?

At this moment, Gao Heng's mind suddenly flashed Zhao Xinzhi's slightly old but slightly shiny sharp eyes.

This person was so powerful inside and outside the court back then, with infinite glory, even if he no longer asks about the world now, and returns to the field to unload his armor, but sometimes when he thinks about it, he can still give people an unfathomable and unignorable sense of existence.

As for Empress Zhao's clever self-defense, Emperor Zhou did not speak, but signaled He Quan to check the antidote.

After He Quan checked for a while, as expected, he also came to the conclusion that this medicine was indeed the antidote to Chilingsan.

Hearing He Quan's assertion, Empress Zhao, who had been in a nervous state, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Emperor Zhou was still suspicious of her at this time, as long as there was no evidence, he could not convict himself.

"Erchen wants to ask the queen mother, do you remember how many antidotes are in this medicine bottle?"

Just when Empress Zhao was grateful for Zhao Xinzhi's timely rain and was lucky, she didn't know when Gao Heng had taken the bottle of antidote, and she asked such a sentence coldly.

Gao Heng's intention was obvious, he just wanted to tell Emperor Zhou that Empress Zhao had never taken any antidote at all.

Indeed, Empress Zhao knew that she was not poisoned, and Emperor Zhou came suddenly, so she didn't even open the medicine bottle, how could she know how many medicines were in it?

Now in the face of Gao Heng's question, she could only take a deep breath angrily, lowered her eyes and cried to Emperor Zhou: "Your Majesty, what is the purpose of Heng'er asking this, it is a good thing that my brother can find an antidote for his concubine, why do you ......?"

Answer him. ”

Emperor Zhou interrupted Empress Zhao's words and resolutely spit out three words.

"It's... This antidote was given to the concubine by Imperial Physician Zhang, how could the concubine know how many there were?"

When Zhang Heyong heard that Empress Zhao had pushed the responsibility to himself, his eyebrows trembled, and he thought that he had fortunately taken it out to identify it just now, and hurriedly thought about it and replied: "Yes, this antidote to Chilingsan is very precious, so Weichen remembers that it should... There should only be two of them..."

"Master Zhang is right, there are indeed two here. ”

Gao Heng poured the pills in the medicine bottle into his palm, except for Zhang Heyong who had not yet reacted to anything wrong, everyone present showed varying degrees of surprise.

Queen Zhao was even more angry and pinched the futon with both hands, and the green tendons on the back of her hands were clearly visible because of the excessive force.

"No, didn't the queen mother claim that she had taken the antidote? ”

Gao Heng looked at the pill in his hand with a fake puzzlement, raised his hand in front of Zhang Heyong, and his face suddenly sank.

"But why are there two in this bottle?"
