Chapter 209: The Villain's Ambition
After learning that the poison of "Red Feather San" was indeed found from the Guangling Palace, Emperor Zhou was surprised and couldn't help but be furious, and soon got up angrily and left the dormitory, and went to summon Concubine Hui who was outside the palace.

When Emperor Zhou and the palace people around him left, Empress Zhao, who was still gloomy and sick, suddenly recovered her spirits, sat up from the bed nimbly, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then asked the prince next to her to bring her a mirror, looked at herself with a haggard face in the mirror, stared for a moment, but the corners of her mouth raised a sinister smile.
"Imperial Physician Zhang's medicine is indeed magical, not only your father, but whoever sees this palace will think that this palace must have been poisoned by that slut. ”
But they couldn't have imagined that in fact, the queen mother didn't eat any red lingsan at all, but just took a magical herb called white ripe grass. ”
The crown prince paced a few steps in front of Empress Zhao's bed, then stopped, and raised the corners of his eyebrows: "Speaking of which, this Zhang Heyong is really powerful, and I don't know where I got this miracle medicine, this time it really helped us a lot." ”
Zhang Heyong mentioned in the prince's mouth is now the judge of the Tai Hospital, the head of the imperial doctors in the palace, except for Emperor Zhou, who has always been responsible for the health of Empress Zhao's phoenix body, and has long been used by her, and can be regarded as half of her confidant.
And that kind of white ripe grass is a very peculiar herb produced in the Western Regions.
The magic of this medicine is that as long as it is chopped up and drunk from its juice, the user will produce a phenomenon similar to poisoning, but in fact it is non-toxic and harmless, and after three days, the symptoms of this poisoning will disappear on its own.
"Although this Chilingsan will not be life-threatening if it is eaten in small amounts, if it is eaten like this, it will always harm the internal organs. Empress Zhao put down the mirror and pillowed her head on the cushion, her tone was slightly harsh, "That cheap maid is not worth the palace and her body." ”
Because of this, Empress Zhao used the relatively neutral poison of Chilingsan as evidence to frame Concubine Hui.
Otherwise, if she used those poisons and other poisons, she would die violently as long as she entered the mouth, then she wouldn't be able to play so many tricks at the moment, let alone pretend to pick up a life because of the small amount of food.
After all, she doesn't necessarily have to put a white cloth on her head, pretend to have driven the crane west, and finally come back to life like a corpse, right?
Moreover, this poison is rare and difficult to find, many imperial doctors in the palace have never seen it, even if Emperor Zhou wants to find out the source of this medicine, I am afraid that he will not be able to find out for a while.
Even if he intended to send someone to investigate, Empress Zhao had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Hmph, now that Chiling has been found in Guangling Palace, it can be said that it is a combination of stolen goods, I want to see, how can Concubine Hui's slut and his son justify themselves in front of your father and emperor?"
Empress Zhao raised her chin and looked at the prince with some concern: "By the way, Chen'er, the palace maid of Guangling Palace who was bought by us has already been arranged?"
"The queen mother can rest assured that her son has arranged for her to leave the palace overnight, but she should not be able to see the sun on the first day of the new year. ”
The prince said with a smile on his face, but there was no chill in this smile, and it sent chills down people's spine.
"It's no wonder we're ruthless. Empress Zhao tightened her cheeks, her eyes darkened, "If she is really loyal enough to her master, even if we lure her with profit, she will not take the bait." ”
The crown prince nodded and said, "What the queen mother said is true." As for the old man Zhang Heyong, he and we have always been in the same boat, if something goes wrong with us, he will not escape the involvement, in order to protect himself, he will definitely keep his mouth shut. This time, it can be said that it is foolproof. ”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and their eyes spread out again, and their eyebrows were full of victorious attitudes.
……………
Outside the dormitory of Zhenghe Palace, Concubine Hui was kneeling in front of Emperor Zhou with a calm expression, the whole person was neither panicked nor afraid, and there was no lack of heart on her face that she had done anything wrong.
And Gao Heng and Cheng Jinzhi stood aside, their faces much more solemn than Concubine Hui.
Emperor Zhou sat on the dragon couch, his sharp eyes swept over the three of them one by one, as if he was looking for something, and when he returned to Concubine Hui again, he was silent for a long time, and a trace of doubt flowed from the corners of his eyes full of fine lines.
Concubine Hui in front of him gave him the feeling of being too calm and free, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like the reaction of a person who made a big mistake.
"Concubine Hui, what do you have to say about the queen's accusation that you were poisoned and murdered?"
Emperor Zhou retracted his gaze with some confusion and asked tepidly.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has never done such a treacherous thing, and please let Your Majesty know it. ”
Concubine Hui's words bowed her head earnestly, although it was just a simple rebuttal, but it sounded very convincing.
"You said you haven't done it, so what's the matter with this bottle of Chilingsan that was found in your palace?" Emperor Zhou glanced at the bottle of medicine containing Chilingsan in his hand, and his face sank, "Don't tell me, it's all just a coincidence?"
"Your Majesty, of course this is not a coincidence, this is clearly framed by someone!"
Hearing Emperor Zhou's question, before Concubine Hui could speak, Cheng Jinzhi on the side couldn't bear it for a while, so he replied regardless of etiquette.
"What did you say?
Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes, looked at Cheng Jinzhi with deep eyes, and saw that her heart was tight, but she still nodded calmly.
"That's right, although it happened suddenly now, there is no evidence to prove it, but the courtiers dare to guarantee with their lives, this must be definitely a frame-up!"
Hearing Cheng Jinzhi's words, Gao Heng couldn't help but turn his head and look at her with an unbelievable look like an idiot.
In fact, let alone Gao Heng, even Cheng Jinzhi is regretting what he just said at the moment.
Although this is indeed Empress Zhao's conspiracy, but now she is so absolute in front of Emperor Zhou without any evidence, and everyone knows that the person who framed Cheng Jinzhi is clearly the queen, then she is likely to be accused of slandering and slandering the queen of the main palace, which is really asking for trouble.
"Presumptuous!"
Sure enough, after the air froze for three seconds, Emperor Zhou suddenly raised his voice and shouted angrily, which frightened Cheng Jinzhi physically and mentally, and knelt down trembling while complaining to himself.
"Father, Jin Zhi is also worried about the safety of his mother's concubine, so he is impulsive, unscrupulous, and asks his father not to blame. ”
Seeing this, Gao Heng hurriedly knelt down to intercede for Cheng Jinzhi, looking at Emperor Zhou who was sinking like water in front of him, he could feel that tonight's catastrophe might not be easily resolved.
