She couldn't imagine that Emperor Zhou was not here to visit, but to expose her conspiracy.
Just half an hour ago, Gao Heng had already gone to the imperial study to inform the queen of pretending to be poisoned, he knew that although he was not cautious enough to do so, in order to prevent Empress Zhao from pretending to take the antidote, and in order to prevent Cheng Jinzhi from suffering for one more day in Jiuyoutai, he couldn't think about it anymore, so he could only take the lead in time.
"If Your Majesty asks you why you're here, you know what you should say, right?"
Seeing that Emperor Zhou was about to step into the inner hall, Empress Zhao finished telling Zhang Heyong, hurriedly lay down and pulled the bedding on her body, and then ordered Ling Shuang to flatten the horns, and pretended to be gloomy and haggard.
And the bottle of antidote sent by Zhao Xinzhi was also hidden in the quilt by her.
As soon as she covered everything up, Emperor Zhou had already walked in with a solemn face, followed by Gao Heng and Concubine Hui.
As soon as she saw the mother and son also coming with her, Empress Zhao suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart, which made her secretly grit her teeth.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Empress Zhao was helped up by Ling Shuang in a weak tone, seeing that Emperor Zhou's eyebrows were full of meaningful sharp colors, she was looking at herself with a blurred look in her eyes at this moment, and she couldn't help but feel a little weak in her heart, and hurriedly moved her eyes to Concubine Hui and Gao Heng.
"Sister Huifei, didn't you just come before, why did you come here again now? Your mother and son have harmed this palace like this, and now you are singing and following Your Majesty to visit Zhenghe Palace, and it is a shame that you will not feel haunted and panicked in your heart. ā
"Does the queen feel better?" Emperor Zhou tightened the corners of his eyebrows, and although the question was a word of concern, the voice sounded mixed with a hint of coldness, "I see that you are now articulate and in good spirits, it seems that this red feather poison is in vain." ā
Standing opposite Empress Zhao, Emperor Zhou could already see clearly, there was no red rash around the queen's eyes, which did not meet the symptoms of Zhongchi Lingsan's poison.
Although he didn't want to believe that this was Empress Zhao's sinister deception, at this time, he couldn't find a reason to refute himself.
As soon as Emperor Zhou's words came out, Empress Zhao, who had a keen intuition, immediately clearly felt that the situation had changed unfavorably for her.
She vigilantly glanced at Zhang Heyong, who was standing aside, only to see him step forward and salute Emperor Zhou: "Back to Your Majesty, the poison of Chi Ling Scatter can be fatal as long as half of the dose of this little finger fingertip is ingested, and it is only because the amount of food taken by Niang Niang is very small that she can save her life." Weichen just took the pulse for Niangniang, Niangniang's body is even weaker than yesterday, if you can't ......"
"Your Majesty, you see that Imperial Doctor Zhang has already said so, don't make fun of your concubines. Empress Zhao deliberately interrupted Zhang Heyong's words, covered her face and coughed twice, "The courtier concubine still feels weak and dizzy, last night was obviously a happy Chinese New Year's Eve, but the courtier concubine sat all night with nightmares, dreaming that someone wanted to harm the courtier's concubine, and when she got up, she broke out in a cold sweat. It's just that at this moment, when I saw His Majesty coming to visit, I was happy in my heart, and my spirit was a little better. ā
Empress Zhao's eyes were red as she spoke, and she raised her hand to wipe her tears pretending to be aggrieved, but saw that Emperor Zhou did not have any pity for her actions, but fell on Zhang Heyong.
"Imperial Doctor Zhang has worked hard, not only did he have to take care of the Queen Mother before, but now he has to take care of the Queen Mother. Therefore, I specially selected another doctor from the Tai Hospital who has excellent medical skills and is obsessed with pharmacology to come to diagnose the queen's pulse, so as to share your worries. ā
Emperor Zhou said that he didn't care whether Empress Zhao agreed or not, and sent someone to summon the imperial doctor he had selected, Zhang Heyong looked up, his face was surprised, and then he fell into a burst of worry.
The imperial physician called by Emperor Zhou is named He Quan, although this person is young, he was born in a medical family, and his medical skills and knowledge in pharmacology are among the best in the entire Tai Hospital, so he has been excluded by Zhang Heyong.
If he is asked to diagnose the queen's pulse at this time, and the relationship between himself and him is not in harmony on weekdays, the fact that the queen is not poisoned will inevitably be exposed, and he will commit the crime of bullying the king, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Obviously, Emperor Zhou did this naturally because he no longer trusted Zhang Heyong, and knew that this matter was very likely to be done by Empress Zhao and him, so he had to find other imperial doctors to come and expose the lies of these two people on the spot.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhang has always been responsible for conditioning and taking care of the concubine's body, and can feel the temperament of the concubine. ā
"Your Majesty, as a physician, it is the duty of Weichen to diagnose the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and I have never felt any hardship, since Weichen is willing to believe in Weichen, Weichen should do his best to protect his mother. ā
"What's wrong with you two? You said everything to me, as if we had discussed it. ā
Emperor Zhou looked at Zhang Heyong meaningfully, and then raised his hand and slowly stroked Empress Zhao's slightly trembling shoulder.
"Don't be nervous, I just asked He Quan to take the pulse for you, if the queen likes to let Imperial Doctor Zhang take care of the diagnosis and treatment in the future, then I will depend on you. ā
Looking at Emperor Zhou's rainy eyes, Empress Zhao's heart trembled suddenly, and she raised her eyes and glared angrily at Concubine Hui and Gao Heng who were standing behind Emperor Zhou.
"Your Majesty, the concubine suddenly felt dizzy and sleepy, so she wanted to sleep, Your Majesty should let Imperial Doctor He diagnose the concubine's pulse another day. ā
Empress Zhao put her fingers against her temples, said angrily, and her mind was thinking fiercely about how to deal with it, leaning over, her waist suddenly touched a cold and hard object in the quilt, which made her heart have a countermeasure.
"Lord He, this king has heard that all those who are poisoned by Zhongchi Lingsan, no matter the size of the dose, there will be a circle of red rashes of different degrees around the eyes, but is this really the case?"
However, just as Empress Zhao was holding the medicine bottle in her hand, she heard Gao Heng suddenly ask He Quan with an expressionless face, which made her hand holding the medicine bottle tremble immediately, and the other hand hurriedly covered her cheek.
"Back to Your Highness, it is true. He Quan nodded, "However, because this kind of poison is very rare, there are very few people who use poison and those who are poisoned, so even many people who study medicine may not know that there is such a symptom." ā
Gao Heng's eyes turned slightly when he heard this, and he deliberately looked at Zhang Heyong, whose face had changed greatly, and his eyes suddenly froze.
"Lord Zhang, is this called, a hundred secrets and a sparse?"
