Chapter 21: Shock

Not long after, Chen Pi led a white-haired imperial doctor in, and he wanted to salute, Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "I'm tired of you always showing me this bowl of medicine." ”

The old lady looked sixty or seventy, her face was ruddy, her spirit was strong, she should 'not dare', took two steps forward, took the medicine bowl, observed carefully, and then asked about the taste, thought for a while, and dipped her fingers a little into her mouth and tasted it.

Chen Pi watched from the sidelines, his expression was tense, and he was very nervous.

This tonic was prescribed by the Tai Hospital, but it was Concubine Zhu who ordered someone to fry it every night and send it.

Concubine Zhu is the biological mother of the official family!

Zhao Xu also stared closely, he didn't suspect his mother, because he already had a suspicion in his heart. He looked calm, but he was also a little apprehensive.

If it's that person, he'll have to think about it!

After a while, the old lady put down the bowl and said with a smile: "There is no problem with this medicinal diet of the official family, it is the eight treasures: angelica, rehmannia, wolfberry, peony, atractylodes, poria cocos, jujube, licorice, ......"

Chen Pi listened, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

Zhao Xu frowned, if the medicine is fine, where can I find evidence? That's not the one who can move, especially him!

After the old lady finished speaking, she said: "However, this medicine is no problem, but the time for decoction is not enough, and it is not a big problem, as long as it is not fried like this for a long time, it is okay to take it." ”

Chen Pi's face changed sharply, and he said eagerly: "The official family used to take it like this, will it turn into poison?" Chronic? Is it fatal? ”

If this is the case, then the point will become Concubine Zhu, the biological mother of the official family!

When Chen Pi thought of this, his scalp was about to explode, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu's face was as usual, and he said, "It's okay for the imperial doctor to be blunt. ”

The old lady pondered for a while, and said: "This is a tonic, common sense is fine, if you don't take it for a long time, it's fine, as long as you don't eat some raw and cold things, and you hurt Long Yuan under stimulation, it's fine." ”

"Hurt ...... Long Yuan ......"

Chen Pi was shocked, his lips trembling and he couldn't speak.

And so it was! ’

Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed, and his guess was confirmed.

The old lady looked at Zhao Xu and Chen Pi's expression, and thought they were worried, so she smiled and said: "It's okay to eat it, for a while, as long as you don't continue to take it in the future, the old minister will prescribe some recuperation prescriptions, and it's okay." ”

Zhao Xu exhaled lightly in his heart, looked at the old lady, and said, "Thank you the old lady, Chen Pi sent the old lady doctor on my behalf." ”

Chen Pi looked at Zhao Xu's eyes, and he realized fiercely, and said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

The old lady didn't even dare to say that she was sent out by tangerine peel.

Not to mention how Chen Pi asked the old lady to be silent along the way, Zhao Xu sat on the chair, his eyes flickering faintly.

This person, he is really not moving, there is ethical pressure. It's just that if he doesn't take the lead and let the Empress Dowager Gao dispose of it, then he has worked so hard, he has completely made a wedding dress for the Empress Dowager Gao, and he will still be a puppet after all!

"What can I do......

Zhao Xu closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, Chen Pi hurriedly pushed open the door and came directly to Zhao Xu's ear and whispered: "Official, there is an accident in Cining Palace, and Gonggong Zhou wants the official family to go over immediately." ”

Zhao Xu was startled, stood up and said, "Hurry up!" ”

If Empress Dowager Gao decides to execute Concubine Wuxian immediately, then he will have lost all his efforts!

When Zhao Xu arrived at the Cining Palace, he saw that the gate was closed, and there was no movement inside.

Zhao Xu came over, naturally unimpeded, and went straight to the Empress Dowager Gao's bedroom.

As soon as Zhao Xu came, Zhou He's face was full of anxiety and said, "Official, come and take a look." ”

Zhao Xu looked at his expression for a moment, and then walked in quickly.

When I entered, I saw a doctor in front of the bed of the Empress Dowager Gao, and the Empress Dowager Gao was lying on the bed, motionless.

Zhao Xu sighed in his heart and walked over quickly.

I saw Empress Dowager Gao lying on the bed, her face was pale, her face was withered, and her white hair was scattered, giving people a feeling that she was going to die!

Zhao Xu's face changed suddenly, he didn't dare to disturb the imperial doctor, he pulled Zhou He over, and shouted in a low voice: "Say, what's going on with grandmother!" ”

Zhou He was also full of anxiety and fear at this moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Niangniang has been sick, but she is just supporting the assassination of the official's family, I haven't eaten for a day today, and I suddenly fainted on the desk just now, and the villain was afraid, so I invited the official's family to come over and ......."

Zhao Xu listened, his brows furrowed and furrowed, and he pushed Zhou He away and looked at the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor is also cautious, this empress dowager is the highest power of the Great Song Dynasty, if she has something, she is afraid that the imperial hospital will also be unlucky.

After a while, the imperial doctor gently wiped the cold sweat on his head, got up and turned to Zhao Xu, and said: "Don't worry, the official family is not worried, Niangniang was sick before, and she was overworked, which caused her to faint, as long as you have a good rest for a while, Weichen will open a few more prescriptions, and you will be fine after a few days of recuperation." ”

Zhou He listened, and the corners of his nervous face slowly relaxed.

The Empress Dowager has been in power for nearly eight years, and at the moment of the assassination of the official family, if something happens, the sky will fall!

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, thinking that there were still two years left for the death of the Empress Dowager Gao in history, he was completely relieved, and said: "There is Imperial Doctor Lao, please go and prescribe medicine, Zhou He, you send someone to keep an eye on it." ”

Zhou Hedeng understood, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes." ”

Zhao Xu sat on the edge of Empress Dowager Gao's bed, looking at Empress Dowager Gao's withered expression, thinking that although the old Empress Dowager was strict with him and refused to relax her power, it was his grandmother who took good care of him.

Zhao Xu stretched out his hand to comb her messy hair, and said to the palace maid on the side: "Go and get a basin of warm water." ”

The palace maid was stunned and looked at Zhou He.

Zhou He looked at Zhao Xu and hesitated, and said, "Didn't you hear the official's orders?" Just go. ”

The palace maid responded and went in a panic.

Soon, warm water came, Zhao Xu twisted the towel and gently wiped the face of the Empress Dowager Gao.

Zhou He had been watching cautiously from the sidelines, watching Zhao Xu's movements for a long time, and then his heart slowly relaxed.

Now the palace is disturbing, very sensitive, the biggest and most obscure conflict, probably the official family and the empress dowager. When it comes to power, how many fathers and sons, brothers have killed each other since ancient times, not to mention the grandchildren who are separated by a layer.

Zhao Xu rubbed it for Empress Dowager Gao, and after calming down, he was thinking about what to do with that person.

Waiting for the medicine to be decocted and delivered, Zhao Xu took the bowl and gently fed the Empress Dowager Gao spoonful by spoonful, wiping the overflowing medicinal soup from time to time.

Zhou He watched from the sidelines, his heart was finally completely relaxed, and he said secretly: It is the ancestor and grandson.

At this moment, a yellow door rushed in and whispered a few words in Zhou He's ear.

Zhou He's face changed slightly, and then his expression was solemn.

Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhou He's expression changed, he hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear: "Official, there are rumors in the palace that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, or she will die." ”

Zhao Xu snorted coldly in his heart, took back the medicine bowl, wiped her mouth for Empress Dowager Gao, and then looked at Zhou He and said, "Isn't there martial law in the palace?" How can there be rumors? ”

Zhou He looked at Zhao Xu and stopped talking.

Zhao Xu came to his senses and said, "It turns out that my grandmother has also found out." ”

Zhou He was stunned, and said with some caution: "The official family ...... What did you find? ”

Zhao Xu fed the Empress Dowager Gao medicine again, and said: "There is only one in the palace who can make grandmother jealous and can't be easily disposed of." Grandmother plans to gag everyone's mouths with Concubine Wu Xian, and then slowly deal with her? Suddenly...... Died? ”
