Chapter 36 Rumors Spread
Listening to the emperor's words, the imperial physician's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and his trembling lips spit out a few words for a while: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister just thinks that this poison should be related to the county lord." ”
"Imperial Physician Wang, are you doubting my judgment? Or do you suspect that I am protecting the county lord? Lord Sheng was originally called by me, and as for the county lord, she just followed her grandfather. The emperor's indifferent voice sounded, and there was a hint of majesty in his tone.
As soon as the imperial physician heard the emperor's words, he immediately understood that he had made a mistake, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "It's the minister who is confused, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”
The emperor glanced at the imperial physician lightly, and then handed the fold in his hand to the guards beside him, and the guards took the fold and retreated.
Doctor Wang couldn't help frowning when he looked at the emperor's actions, he knew that what he had just said had angered the emperor.
The emperor's gaze fell on the imperial physician, and he slowly spoke: "Imperial physician Wang, do you think the county lord is too weak?" ”
Imperial Physician Wang's eyes widened suddenly, he didn't expect the emperor to say it so bluntly.
"The emperor is wise and martial, how can he mistake a little girl." Imperial Physician Wang immediately slapped a sycophant.
The emperor smiled with satisfaction, and then continued: "You just said that this matter has something to do with the county lord, so have you had conclusive evidence?" How did you find out? ”
Imperial Physician Wang looked at the emperor, his face turned pale instantly, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his heart beat faster and faster.
"Minister, minister......" Imperial Physician Wang stumbled speechlessly.
The emperor snorted lightly, and then said: "Do you still want to say that Marquis Sheng is doing ghosts behind his back, so the county lord can quickly detoxify?" ”
The emperor's words made the imperial physician tremble violently, and the beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down.
"Imperial Physician Wang, are you not convinced?" The emperor looked at the imperial physician, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneering smile: "I don't mean to blame you, you don't have to be afraid, if you don't believe in the county lord's medical skills, why don't you have a competition?" ”
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Wang trembled, he didn't expect the emperor to make such a suggestion, but he didn't want to refuse, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, the minister obeys." ”
"Good." The emperor nodded with satisfaction and then said, "Since the imperial physician agrees to the competition, then you can go down and prepare." ”
"Minister's decree, retire!" Imperial Physician Wang bowed and withdrew.
When the imperial physician left the imperial study, Gonggong Cui walked in from outside, and he saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, do you really want to let the county lord compete with the imperial physician?" Isn't it too dangerous to do so? The county lord is still a child, huh? What if she gets hurt? ”
Listening to Gonggong Cui's words, the emperor shook his head, and he said indifferently: "I know that she is a child, but I also know her strength, and I believe that she will not lose." ”
"However, if the Imperial Physician wins, it will have an impact on the county lord." Grandpa Cui said with some concern.
"I believe in her!"
The emperor made a final decision, and then he stood up: "Zhiyao is the lord of Yongchen County, and she will also be the queen of the Shang Zhou Dynasty in the future, how to serve the public without any ability, not to mention that we are all gone in the future, how can she deter those young people, if she can't even deal with a royal doctor, then how can she help Chen'er in the future?" ”
"But the emperor, the county lord is still young after all! She doesn't know how to govern the country, if the Qi family kills her, what should she do? Grandpa Cui still said worriedly.
"Don't worry, although the Qi family is ambitious, but they don't dare to mess around, after all, I haven't set up a prince for a day, and the Qi family won't dare to move for a day, otherwise, I will kill them by surprise."
"Yes, the minister obeys the holy decree." Grandpa Cui said respectfully.
"Alright, let's go down." The emperor waved his hand and signaled that Gonggong Cui could go down.
Grandpa Cui nodded, and then retreated, and as soon as he walked out of the imperial study, a guard came to report.
"Your Majesty, the county lord asks to see you."
Hearing the guard's words, the emperor was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and he spoke: "Okay, let the county lord come in." ”
"Yes."
After a while, she saw Sheng Zhiyao walk in, she saw the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and then respectfully blessed her body, and then said: "Zhiyao knocks to see the emperor's grandfather." ”
The emperor raised his hand, and he said, "No need to be polite, come here." ”
When Sheng Zhiyao heard this, she stepped to the emperor's side, and the emperor's eyes fell on Sheng Zhiyao's body: "Why did you think of the imperial study to find the imperial grandfather?" But what's the matter? ”
"Grandpa Huang, I heard some rumors that I gave Grandma Huang's poison, so I was able to come up with the antidote so quickly." Sheng Zhiyao said straight to the point.
The emperor looked at Sheng Zhiyao's appearance and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Haha, this rumor is really unbearable, who is so bold that he dares to slander Zhiyao's reputation?" The imperial grandfather will definitely not spare him. ”
Sheng Zhiyao hurriedly persuaded him: "Grandpa Huang is angry, the rumors stop at the wise, Grandpa Huang, I want to prove my innocence." ”
"Oh? How so? The emperor looked at Sheng Zhiyao with interest, he wanted to hear what Sheng Zhiyao had to prove his innocence.
Sheng Zhiyao glanced at the palace maids and guards around her, all of whom were sent out by her, and then she leaned over to the emperor's ear and whispered, "Grandpa Huang's matter still needs the cooperation of Grandpa Huang." ”
The emperor frowned slightly and asked, "Oh? So how do you want me to cooperate? ”
"Grandpa Huang, do you know where the toxins in Grandma Huang's body come from?"
The emperor shook his head, he only knew that the empress's poison was given by someone else, but he didn't know what the poison was.
"This is the crux of the problem, there is a poison in the imperial grandmother's body is Tianluo grass, which is an extremely rare poisonous weed, this poisonous weed lives in an extremely cold environment all year round, only survives in extremely cold places, and this grass grows for a very short time, and it is very rare, but each plant is precious and abnormal, this toxin will produce a violent reaction after taking it, so that people fall into a coma, and during the coma, people will die quickly."
After Sheng Zhiyao finished speaking, the emperor's eyes widened in shock.
"Zhiyao, you said that the toxicity of this grass is so intense?" The Emperor couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes." Sheng Zhiyao nodded.
The emperor's face was solemn, it was indeed the first time he had heard of this grass.
"Zhiyao, how do you know this grass?" The Emperor asked, a little puzzled.
"Grandpa Huang, have you forgotten? I learned my medical skills from my grandfather. ”
"Indeed, your grandfather's medical skills are indeed superb." The emperor remembered that Sheng Lixin's medical skills were indeed very powerful.
"The poison not only contains the extremely rare medicinal materials of Tianluo grass, but also mixes many rare medicinal materials such as Tianxuan grass, geocentric grass, golden black flower, etc., and the people who make the medicine use different quantities of medicinal materials and a specific order to be able to make them, but these medicinal materials are not found by ordinary people."
The emperor was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then sighed: "It seems that this matter is not simple. ”
"Yes, although the doctor of the Tai Hospital can't make an antidote immediately, he should also know how to control this toxicity, so the purpose of this mastermind behind the scenes is to lure out grandpa, and his goal is to blame grandpa, who would have thought that grandpa actually called me and asked me to make an antidote, so the plan is broken, they can only frame me with the plan, and they are calculating with grandpa."
