Chapter 220: Knowing Everything
Gu Hanqing didn't tell Cheng Sujin that the pill she tasted was actually non-poisonous, nor did he say another word of resentment or even scolding, but turned around and left after leaving that cold word. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He didn't have the extra heart to sigh and fear Cheng Sujin's viciousness now, and he didn't want to see her false and hypocritical face anymore.
What Gu Hanqing is thinking about now is to be able to help Gao Heng rescue Cheng Jinzhi from the Nine Secluded Platforms.
So after questioning Cheng Sujin, he immediately went to Gu Jiakai's pharmacy in the south of the city and found an old pharmacist Wei Chi, who was highly qualified and respected in the rivers and lakes, hoping to get some useful information from his mouth.
And what made him feel very relieved was that from the mouth of this old pharmacist named Wei Chi, he did hear some crucial clues.
In the previous conversation with Gao Heng, they all came to the conclusion that they suspected that Empress Zhao was not poisoned at all.
It just so happened that Wei Chi also told him that there is indeed a kind of herb in the world that can make people show signs of poisoning after taking it, but it will not harm the body, and after three to five days, the signs of poisoning will slowly disappear, and it is a very magical herb.
And this medicine is the "white ripe grass" that Zhang Heyong used for Empress Zhao.
However, Gu Hanqing understood that even if Empress Zhao really took this medicine, they were cautious, and now they were afraid that they would not be able to find any traces, and they should not be able to use Bai Shucao to prove the innocence of Cheng Jinzhi and Concubine Hui.
But in addition, Wei Chi also mentioned another key point, which is about the strange poison "Red Feather San" found in the Huifei Palace.
It turns out that people who have taken this poison, in addition to the symptoms of other poisoning, it also has a unique feature, that is, there will be a phenomenon similar to a red rash around the eyes of the poisoned person, and if there is no antidote, it will not fade for a long time.
Zhang Heyong, who is the judge of the Tai Hospital, should also know this, perhaps he relied on Emperor Zhou and everyone to know nothing about this poison, so he dared to deceive in front of him and act in this play for the queen.
In this way, as long as Gao Heng is asked to go to Zhenghe Palace to see that Empress Zhao also has the same red rash on her face, then everything will fall into place.
Therefore, after thanking Wei Chi, Gu Hanqing hurried to King Yan's Mansion and informed Gao Heng of the matter.
………………
In Guangling Palace, Concubine Hui was feeling guilty about Cheng Jinzhi's affairs and had trouble sleeping, and now she learned that there was a way to prove Cheng Jinzhi's innocence, so without saying a word, she and Concubine Yi wanted to visit Empress Zhao by visiting her illness.
When Empress Zhao learned that Cheng Jinzhi had become a scapegoat, but Concubine Hui and Gao Heng were safe, she was unwilling, and she had been in a depressed mood and irritable mood.
At this moment, I heard that Concubine Hui dared to come to visit her, and I wanted to refuse not to see her, but when I thought that the anger in my heart was nowhere to be sprinkled, since Concubine Hui dared to come, I might as well humiliate her and embarrass her, so as to vent this resentment in my heart.
didn't know that Concubine Hui came prepared for this trip, and the purpose was to expose her pretentious conspiracy.
After entering the inner hall of Zhenghe Palace, the two saw Empress Zhao lying on the bed with a solemn face from a distance, closing her eyes and recuperating.
Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui approached the bed, and Empress Zhao's haggard and gloomy cheeks clearly came into view.
The moment the two of them made contact with Queen Zhao's face, their hearts trembled, and after they glanced at each other invariably, there was a burst of joyful relief.
Because around Empress Zhao's eyes, there was not the slightest trace of a rash, which was enough to show that she was not actually poisoned.
The statement about Chi Lingsan is simply a false pretense to deceive everyone.
"Yo Huifei sister, your heart is really big, yesterday you poisoned the osmanthus brew and wanted to harm the palace, you are here now, you should want to see if the palace is still alive, right?"
Empress Zhao deliberately said weakly, and it can be seen that her gritted teeth are enough to see the depth of hatred in her heart.
If she didn't have to pretend to be sick in front of people at this moment, she just wanted to jump out of bed and slap Concubine Hui to vent the hatred in her heart that her plan had failed.
"The queen mother, since the concubine dares to come, it proves that the concubine has a clear conscience, and this time it is also out of concern for the queen mother's phoenix body, so she and Concubine Yi came to visit, hoping that the hospital can find an antidote as soon as possible, so that the queen mother can recover as soon as possible. ”
Concubine Hui leaned down and said unhurriedly, her eyes were unusually calm, and there was no trace of waves.
She had long expected that Empress Zhao would be embarrassed and speak disrespectfully. It's just that she has been angry with the queen for so many years, and she has long been accustomed to it, and she has always been peaceful, so she has never taken it to heart.
"Hmph, the cat cries and the mouse is fake compassion, but it's just people like you. ”
Empress Zhao snorted disdainfully when she heard this, and a contemptuous sneer tugged at the corner of her mouth.
"You can rest assured, this palace will never die so easily, this palace will still watch the crown prince ascend the throne as the emperor, and be the queen mother to live for a long time. By the way, weren't you a cheap maid by Concubine Lan's side before? Bengong has thought about it, and when Bengong becomes the queen mother, he will leave you by his side to serve, so that he can be regarded as looking up to you. ”
Concubine Yi saw that what the queen said was ugly, her face couldn't help but be a little ugly, and when she saw that she wanted to ask for a certificate had been answered, she wanted to leave as soon as possible, so as not to let Concubine Hui be angry and humiliated, but she saw Concubine Hui smiled faintly, although she didn't speak, but she looked light.
When you are trying to humiliate someone, the most frustrating thing is that she is unimpressed and indifferent.
Seeing that these words could not anger Concubine Hui at all, Empress Zhao's eyes sank, and then she beckoned to Gong E, who was on the side, and said, "This palace is thirsty, go and make a pot of hot tea, it must be hot enough." ”
As a cup of hot and smoking tea was brought to her by Gong E, Empress Zhao glanced at her eyebrows and smiled: "Sister Huifei, since you have come to see the palace so sincerely, then you will serve the palace for tea." ”
Concubine Hui had vaguely guessed the queen's intentions in her heart, but now she couldn't refuse in front of the queen, so she stepped forward and took the cup of hot tea and carefully sent it to Queen Zhao.
"Queen Mother, this cup of tea is still steaming, will it be too hot?"
Concubine Yi was also afraid that Empress Zhao would take the opportunity to embarrass Concubine Hui, so she hurriedly said in a good voice.
"It doesn't matter, Hongu just likes to drink hot. ”
Empress Zhao said in a strange voice, and when she saw that Concubine Hui was already close at hand, she leaned her head in front of the teacup.
Unexpectedly, her chapped lips had just touched the rim of the cup, but she suddenly covered her mouth and coughed exaggeratedly, raised her hand, and pushed the cup of hot tea towards Concubine Hui's clothes.
