Chapter 222: Hiding the Head and Revealing the Tail

Concubine Hui dug the hairpin deep into the soil, loosened the soil a few times, and only dug for a while, only to see a small strange vegetation with slender leaves and white bodies appearing in front of her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Rao is a layman who does not know gardening, and he also knows that this must be a plant that is completely different from the longevity flower, and when he gets closer, he can smell a very strange aroma, which is not only not refreshing, but also a little pungent.

"This shouldn't be the branch of the longevity flower, right?" Concubine Yi looked down at the small vegetation, and said with a puzzled voice, "No matter what kind of flowers or grass, at least the rhizome should be green, how can this thing have so many small white spots as if it is moldy, and the smell is so bad, it looks weird." Could it be that the reason why these ants behave so strangely is because of it?"

"I've never seen a plant like this in the palace, but it looks like it was planted later, and it's germinating in the soil in the past two days, and it's about to break through the ground soon. ”

Concubine Hui said thoughtfully, and with a wave of her eyes, she reached out and folded the plant in half, then took out a handkerchief from between her sleeves and wrapped it in it, and put it back into her sleeves.

Seeing Concubine Hui's actions, Concubine Yi didn't know what her intentions were, and couldn't help but wonder: "What is my sister doing with this?

"No, I just think it's new, and it looks a bit like an herb, so I want to show it to someone who knows, so that I can solve the doubts in my heart. ”

Although Concubine Hui said this, she actually had an indescribable strange feeling about this plant of unknown origin in her heart.

Adhering to the principle of just in case, it always makes her feel that it is necessary to take it back to the palace for verification.

Before returning to Guangling Palace, in order to prevent Gao Heng from blaming himself and worrying after learning that he was injured, Concubine Hui also deliberately took a fox fur scarf from Concubine Yi's residence and wrapped it around her neck to cover the scars burned by tea, and then returned to the palace to inform Gao Heng of what she had seen.

According to Gao Heng's thoughts, since it has been proved that Empress Zhao does not have the poison of Zhongchi Lingsan, the fastest way now is to report to Emperor Zhou and ask him to go to Zhenghe Palace in person to expose Empress Zhao's conspiracy.

But at this time, Emperor Zhou was discussing the border with several ministers in the study, and he couldn't bother him, so Gao Heng could only wait for Emperor Zhou's discussion to be completed, and then go to report.

………………

At the Zhenghe Palace, after Zhang Heyong heard of Empress Zhao's summons, he quickly hurried from the Tai Hospital.

Empress Zhao is a thief, I heard Concubine Yi say that intentionally or unintentionally, for fear that the fact that she was not poisoned will be noticed, and when the time comes, she will report it to Emperor Zhou, which can not only clear Concubine Hui's suspicion and exonerate Cheng Jinzhi, but also make Emperor Zhou realize that his trick of planting blame is an extremely dangerous thing.

She was previously punished and grounded in the palace by Emperor Zhou for spreading rumors, and the ban has just been lifted in the past few days.

If Emperor Zhou knew at this time that the poisoning of the Empress Zhenggong, who was in a uproar on Chinese New Year's Eve, was a good show directed and acted by herself, the punishment she received would definitely not be as simple as grounding.

If you don't get it right, you will be punished with the prince and her, which is really worth the loss.

"Imperial Doctor Zhang, this palace asks you, when are you going to tell Your Majesty that you have found the antidote?"

Seeing that the palace people had been retired, Empress Zhao sat up straight, and asked the most worried question in her heart with some nervousness.

Since Empress Zhao was poisoned, Emperor Zhou has ordered the entire imperial hospital to find the antidote to Chilingsan, but because the poison of Chilingsan is rare and special, the antidote is also difficult to find, even if the imperial physician in the palace personally dispenses the medicine with reference to the ancient books, it will take time.

What's more, it has only been a day and a half of the night since Empress Zhao's poisoning at this time, and there is naturally no news about the antidote.

"The queen is not impatient. Zhang Heyong saw that the queen seemed a little anxious, so he slowly explained, "Niangniang was just poisoned yesterday, if Weichen finds the antidote today, this is a bit unreasonable, and it will inevitably make Your Majesty suspicious." The effect of this white ripe grass can last for three to five days, and Niangniang may wish to wait for two more days, so that His Majesty will also feel that Niangniang is really suffering, and he will pity Niangniang even more, so as to blame the master of Guangling Palace. ”

"You mean Concubine Hui?" Empress Zhao's eyes turned when she heard this, and she said coldly, "But didn't Your Majesty imprison that self-defeating Cheng Jinzhi in Jiuyoutai?

Empress Zhao said angrily and clenched her fists and slammed into the quilt, but she heard Zhang Heyong's calm demeanor and said unhurriedly: "Niangniang shouldn't think so." Although His Majesty punished Princess Yan last night and did not punish Concubine Hui, this does not prove that in His Majesty's heart, Concubine Hui and His Royal Highness King Yan are innocent people. ”

"What do you mean by this?" Empress Zhao moved lightly when she heard this, "You are a doctor who treats diseases, but you have a lot of speculation?"

"The queen mother said with a smile, although Weichen's duty is to cure diseases and save people, but after all, he is also a person in the officialdom, how can he not learn to guess the holy will?" Zhang Heyong frowned and smiled, "Yesterday, His Majesty was not present during the interrogation, so I can't see it really, but Weichen can see clearly that Princess Yan spoke inconsistently, and later knew that she was in a catastrophe because of the fact that she handed over the poison, and she clearly came forward to apologize for Concubine Hui and King Yan." Niangniang, you said, even Weichen can see the things, Your Majesty is so wise, how can you not see it?"

"If it is really according to what you said, then why does Your Majesty easily forgive Concubine Hui?" Empress Zhao's eyes were slightly sharp, and she almost gritted her teeth and said, "She wants to murder, but this is the queen of the main palace." ”

Zhang Heyong said meaningfully: "Weichen thinks, Your Majesty is waiting for an opportunity, right?"

"When?

"According to Wei Chen, His Majesty is deliberately tempting to do this. As we all know, His Royal Highness King Yan is very fond of Princess Yan, and this time Princess Yan is in trouble, His Royal Highness will inevitably find evidence to prove Princess Yan's innocence. But the premise must be that this matter is indeed not the work of Concubine Hui and His Royal Highness King Yan. ”

"You mean, Your Majesty actually wants King Yan to verify this matter and prove his innocence?" Empress Zhao bit her lower lip and thought, "In this way, if we don't leave any clues, he can't find out, and if he can't prove Cheng Jinzhi's innocence, it means that Your Majesty will also ...... Concubine Hui."

Empress Zhao suddenly stopped abruptly when she said this, her eyes were slightly condensed, the corners of her mouth hooked a sinister arc, and she turned to look at Zhang Heyong.

"Then you know this matter completely, so it seems that you have become the biggest threat to the palace?"
