Chapter 781: Helpless
There was another chamberlain in charge of the banquet utensils, Cui Yongchen had interrogated them one by one, and no one had touched the wine glass alone.
In this case, it is only during the banquet that people can be manipulated.
There were also a few medical officers from the Tai Hospital in the palace, and the Empress Dowager Zhang was not very relieved, and because Zhao Hao was still lying on the ground and it was difficult to move, she took the rest of the people to the side hall.
Under careful inquiry, she was asking about the movements of the people in the hall during the banquet, but the little yellow door was suddenly stunned, and cautiously looked at Zhao Duo, the king of Wei, who was not far away.
Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and followed his eyes, only to see that Zhao Duo was also engrossed in looking at the little yellow door, waiting for the other party to speak.
For a moment the temple fell silent.
The small yellow door was stared at by everyone, Empress Dowager Zhang stood opposite him, the two were less than half a zhang away, and standing next to Empress Dowager Zhang, on the left was Zhao Duo, the king of Wei, and on the right was Cui Yongchen.
He hesitated, raised his head, and saw Cui Yongchen looking at him coldly, he couldn't help but shudder, and said in a dumb voice: "The little one is waiting in the banquet, as if he remembers that when he was about to disperse, His Royal Highness King Ji stood up and raised a glass with His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and after the two of them drank all the wine in the glass, His Royal Highness the King of Ji was about to return to the table, but he didn't want to be tripped by the corner of the table, his hand was unstable, and the wine glass fell on the futon of His Royal Highness the King of Wei......"
Zhao Duo's eyes widened suddenly, and his face turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost.
Mrs. Zhang's face remained unchanged, but she turned her head to look at her son.
The little yellow door swallowed his saliva and said, "The little one can see it...... It seems that His Royal Highness the King of Wei personally picked up the wine glass of His Royal Highness the King of Ji......"
Cui Yongchen immediately asked: "The wine glass fell on the futon, can it still be used?" β
"At that time, he was toasting, and His Royal Highness King Ji's wine glass was facing down, and it was not dirty, so he wanted to change the cup for His Royal Highness, and he had already taken the wine glass that had been dropped, and the small one had to go up and pour the wine...... "Xiao Huangmen replied stiffly.
Zhao Duo's face had changed greatly, and in a hurry, he didn't care about the palace maids in the palace, although he didn't refute the little yellow door, but turned his head to the Empress Dowager Zhang and said: "Queen Mother, my brother lost his honor for a while, and the wine glass in his hand fell on his son's seat, as a younger brother, shouldn't he help pick it up?" If not, where is the brotherhood? What's wrong with that?! β
Empress Dowager Zhang ignored him, but continued to ask at the little yellow door, "Besides, who else has touched King Ji's wine glass during the banquet?" β
The little yellow door didn't dare to raise its head, and after a while, he whispered: "The little one has no one else......
Then ask the Huangmen who served Zhao Duo to eat, and the two people who served Zhao Hao to eat and drink, all of which are general statements.
Coldly, Cui Yongchen on the side suddenly interjected and asked, "How did His Royal Highness King Wei pick up that wine glass?" β
Everyone shook their heads in the field, but no one could say anything back except for looking at each otherβ
Who will see such details, even if they accidentally see it, who will remember, and even if they do, who dares to say?
Zhao Duo broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and kept explaining to the Empress Dowager Zhang, but when it came to it, he couldn't shake off the black cauldron on his body.
"The Queen Mother! Mother, how could I do such a great unethical thing! Besides, if I want to do this, why should I do it myself in front of all the people, is it not doubtful! β
Although it was about her son, Empress Dowager Zhang interrupted unceremoniously: "Fourth brother, you have lost your temper." β
Zhao Duo came to his senses and quickly stood up straight, but his face was bloodless, and it was still very ugly.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't see any expression behind her, but she was very disappointed in her heart.
Regardless of whether the disembowelment flower poison was done by his son or not, his reaction at the moment is really unsightly.
Such a strain, such a look, such a character, how can it be of great use!
She instructed Cui Yongchen to take the rest of the palace maids out, and waited until only the mother and son were left in the side hall, and then said to Zhao Duo: "Fourth brother, come here." β
Zhao Duo didn't know what she wanted to do, and he was apprehensive in his heart, so he stood up after a while and walked to the Empress Dowager Zhang.
Seeing that there were three steps between his son and him, and standing with his eyebrows lowered and pleasing to the eye, Empress Dowager Zhang's eyebrows wrinkled even tighter.
At this time, even the mother-son relationship will not be used!
How did he give birth to such a stupid son!
***
Zhao Duo didn't know if he was stupid or not, but he knew that he was panicked.
The elder brother was highly poisonous, and only the wine glass that he had touched during the banquet was detected with poison, and it was at the critical moment of Lichu, which really made it difficult for him to defend himself.
I have always known that the eldest son is cheap, the younger son is happy, Zhao Duo is four, there is Zhao Rui who has succeeded the unification and has his own father's discipline in front of him, and Zhao Hao, who is good at figuring out his parents' thoughts, and he has been very favored since he was a child.
Although Zhao Rui is not as happy as the Empress Dowager Zhang, with the dragon robe on her body, no matter what, she will not suffer, but Zhao Duo, if it weren't for Zhao Hao's benefits, and Zhao Rui would have taken care of her brotherhood, she didn't know what life would be.
At this time, he stood in front of his mother, who had always been a little afraid, and heard her call his house over, and he shivered in his heart, thinking not "I can finally intercede with my mother alone", but "Oops, I will be scolded", and then I thought "This time the scolding is a small matter, if you can't get rid of it, will you lose your life here".
Seeing that her son was not reluctant, Empress Dowager Zhang was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and said with a gloomy face: "Your second brother's bones are not cold, and your third brother has become like this again, if the matter is really related to you, you should have told the matter as soon as possible...... There are only you, my mother and son here, who are blood relatives, so don't hide it in front of the old man. β
Zhao Duo exclaimed: "Queen Mother! At this time, it really has nothing to do with his son! And think, if you want to poison, how can you use such a crude method? β
Seeing that he was obsessed, Empress Dowager Zhang said in disappointment: "I don't know if the method is rough or not, but it works very well." β
The mother and son stayed alone in the hall for more than two hours, and when they pushed the door out, Zhao Duo's face was pale, and Empress Dowager Zhang was not relaxed.
When he returned to the Wende Palace, it was already full of medicinal smells, and Zhao Hao was still unconscious, with a faint green aura on his face, but the color of his lips was lighter.
He wore only a pair of trousers, his upper body was naked, full of silver needles, and there were several buckets of medicinal soup on the ground, and the hall was full of the smell of bitter medicine.
Sun Zhaohe and another medical officer were pricking Zhao Rui's fingers with a big needle, pricking it hard, and when they saw blood, they squeezed out the blood and soaked their hands into the bucket.
Empress Dowager Zhang was about to step forward to ask, but the official outside hurriedly entered the door and said: "Queen Mother, the Imperial City Division came to report, saying that the prefect of the palace has something important to do." β
Zhao Rui was just buried, and the DPRK and China were about to drop out of the DPRK for three days in a row, but the DPRK and the Central Committee were normal directors. At this time, I heard that the Kyoto government was so anxious that I couldn't even wait for a few hours, and before dawn, I asked to see outside the palace, and the Empress Dowager Zhang was in her heart, and subconsciously glanced at Zhao Duo, and then looked at Sun Zhaohe, who was still kneeling on the ground to bleed and remove poison for Zhao Hao, and quickly nodded and announced that people entered the palace.
