Chapter 465: Calling the Shots
"Get up, and accompany me to see the prince first." Dugucheng didn't even give Song Xiaoxiao a look, and walked directly to the prince's room, he didn't see Song Xiaoxiao with clenched silver teeth behind him.
The sharp nails sank into the flesh fiercely, Song Xiaoxiao tried her best to restrain herself so as not to lose her temper, when a woman can't keep a man's sight, it often means that she is not far from falling out of favor.
Song Xiaoxiao followed Dugucheng into the palace of the prince Dugudang, and the palace maid on duty said that Dugudang had just drunk medicine and lay down to rest.
Dugucheng stepped forward to look at Dugudang, who was already asleep, and found that Dugudang's face was still not good, even paler than before. Dugucheng frowned, turned around and asked Song Xiaoxiao: "What's going on?" Didn't you say that the imperial doctor would come to check the pulse every day, why did the emperor's face worse, did they treat it seriously! ”
Song Xiaoxiao saw that Dugucheng was angry, and immediately knelt on the ground, and said in fear.
"Your Majesty is angry, it's not that the imperial doctors are not serious, but that the emperor's illness is tricky, and even the imperial doctors have no good way to cure it except to curb the disease. And、And······ In the past few days, the emperor's condition has become more and more serious, and even the oldest imperial doctor in the Tai Hospital is helpless, Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for our emperor! ”
"Hmph, those wastes in the Tai Hospital, they can't even cure the emperor's illness, what's the use of keeping them!"
When Dugucheng heard that the prince's condition was deteriorating, he waved his sleeves angrily, almost knocking the blue and white porcelain next to him to the ground. Although Dugucheng has been the emperor for so many years, there are many concubines in the harem.
But there are few children, there are only a few in total, and now Dugudang, who is the crown prince, suddenly fell seriously ill, and after being treated for so long, he still doesn't see the slightest improvement, but it is even more serious, can this not make him angry.
Song Xiaoxiao, who was on the side, saw that the time was almost up, and immediately added fuel to the fire and said that after careful examination by the imperial doctor, he suspected that the prince was not naturally infected with the disease, but that someone artificially harmed the prince.
Sure enough, as soon as Song Xiaoxiao finished saying this, Dugucheng's anger became even more obvious, as an emperor, he still didn't understand the meaning of this, then he hadn't lived in vain for so many decades.
It is precisely because he knows the twists and turns that he is even more angry, and he can turn a blind eye to the fight between the women of the harem.
But once these feuds spread to his children, it would be an unforgivable thing for an emperor, because he was also once a prince and a pawn in the competition for favor with his mother.
"Someone, Doctor Xuan is here!" Although Dugucheng had already believed Song Xiaoxiao's words in his heart, he still wanted to hear the exact information from the mouth of the imperial doctor.
In about a quarter of an hour, a doctor who was nearly half a hundred years old came panting, and he was out of breath to ask Dugucheng for peace, and Dugucheng did not have the patience to wait for him to rest, and directly asked about the condition of the prince Dugudang.
Hearing Dugucheng's inquiry, the imperial doctor, who was over half a hundred years old, hurriedly knelt down and replied in fear.
"Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates are incompetent, although we have worked hard to control His Royal Highness the Prince's condition, it is still slowly developing in a bad direction, and after our investigation, we found that His Royal Highness the Prince's illness was not caused by nature, and the preliminary judgment should be caused by external forces."
"External forces? Hmph, I also know that it is an external force, after investigating for so long, I have only come to such a conclusion, what use do I want you quacks to do, I just want to know what external force caused the emperor to look like this! ”
Feeling Dugucheng's anger, the imperial doctor buried his head lower, and his tone became cautious, for fear that he would provoke Dugucheng's anger if he didn't do it right.
"This, this external force, after the investigation of several old doctors in our Tai Hospital, the result is...... Yes······ His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have fallen victim to a chronic poison that is extremely difficult to detect. This poison is difficult to detect at first, but once it starts, it will be overwhelming, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found it in time, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have been more than lucky. ”
Although Dugucheng had already had a guess in his heart after Song Xiaoxiao's words before, but now that the guess has come true, the facts in front of him make it difficult for him to accept it for a while.
Where is Song Xiaoxiao willing to let Dugucheng have the slightest hesitation, for the sake of her emperor, she will give up everything.
Song Xiaoxiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief while crying, and fell to her knees with a plop, begging Dugucheng.
"Your Majesty, you must be the master of our mother and son! After the concubine learned that the emperor was poisoned, she immediately sent someone to secretly investigate it thoroughly, but she didn't expect that the concubine really found this bottle of poison. ”
As she spoke, Song Xiaoxiao took out the white porcelain bottle that had been prepared long ago from her sleeve and handed it to Dugucheng.
"What! Who the hell, who is so bold to dare to do such a murderous thing under my nose! ”
"Your Majesty may not believe it, according to the investigation of the concubine, the mastermind behind the poisoning is the rhino concubine." Song Xiaoxiao still looked like she was crying bitterly, but at an angle that others couldn't see, the corners of Song Xiaoxiao's mouth hooked up a fierce arc. Huo Lingxi, since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!
"Rhino?" Hearing Song Xiaoxiao's answer, Dugucheng raised his brows in surprise, obviously not expecting that this matter would be related to Huo Lingxi, who had always behaved indisputably.
In Dugucheng's heart, in the harem that has been made into a miasma, Huo Lingxi is a clear stream, unless she is in a hurry, otherwise, she will not resist at all, will she really be the mastermind behind the scenes this time, and what reason and motive does she have to target the prince?
"Exactly, Your Majesty, don't look at Concubine Rhino's usual quiet appearance, she must still be holding a grudge against the concubine for the last incident, obviously she has already found out that it was not the concubine who did it, why is she still reluctant to let go, and now she is still assassinating the emperor, it is the concubine who is not good, it is the concubine who harms the emperor, woo woo woo-"
"The concubine heard that the imperial doctor said that the emperor may have been poisoned, so she dared to send someone to secretly investigate in the palace of the concubines, and finally found this bottle of poison in the palace of the concubine. The incident happened in a hurry, and I ask Your Majesty not to blame the concubines for using people to investigate this matter thoroughly. ”
Speaking of this, Song Xiaoxiao looked up at Dugu Cheng, with tears in her eyes, crying turned into sobbing, and her tone trembled.
