By the time Mr. Huang had prescribed the medicine and sent the eunuch in the palace to the designated imperial pharmacy to pick up the medicine, it was already dawn.

The palace maid called Ling'er didn't seem to have woken up yet, and walked in with a pair of long eyes. Behind her, followed by a little palace maid who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, holding a snow-white tray in her hand, and the delicious taste of the freshly brewed fragrant tea quickly filled the entire Yongtai Palace.

"Your Majesty has not woken up yet, and the villain implores the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to return to the palace to rest for the time being." Probably thinking that Empress Dowager Wu and Empress Zhang were sitting here, and they really couldn't let go of their hands and feet, Mr. Huang whispered.

Empress Dowager Wu nodded.

"Chen Ji, you stay to help Mr. Huang. If you have any news, please report to me immediately. Empress Dowager Wu commanded.

"The minions obey." Chen Ji replied.

Empress Zhang and the palace maid named Ling'er helped Empress Dowager Wu out of Yongtai Palace.

As soon as Empress Zhang returned to the gate of her Jing'an Palace, the little eunuch Qiao Xi greeted her. It turned out that the concubines who were sent away by the Empress Dowager Wu did not return to the palace separately, but gathered here and waited for news.

Empress Zhang smiled bitterly and walked in quickly.

After another half an hour, the concubines left one after another, leaving Empress Zhang to sit alone in the hall, in a daze at the table full of imperial meals.

Since marrying into the palace, it is the first time that this smart and beautiful queen of mourning has been so entangled in one thing.

"Niangniang Chitose, Mr. Huang asks to see you." Qiao Xi, who had been guarding outside the palace gate, suddenly ran in.

Empress Zhang was taken aback.

"Please."

Joe agreed and ran out.

The palace maid standing behind Empress Zhang hurriedly ran down the steps, opened the curtain of the inner palace, and waited for Mr. Huang to come in.

"But your majesty's injuries have changed?" Before Mr. Huang could speak, Empress Zhang had already stood up from the chair and asked anxiously.

"The villain has already dressed up the medicine for His Majesty, His Majesty is already awake, and Niang Niang Chitose does not have to worry." Mr. Huang replied.

"In that case, what is the reason why the gentleman is here?" Empress Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Mr. Huang hesitated slightly, and looked at the palace maid Duan'er with a pair of eyes.

Empress Zhang understood, waved her hand to go out and wait.

"There are no outsiders here, so don't hesitate to say anything about the gentleman." Empress Zhang looked at Mr. Huang's fat face and guessed what he was going to say next.

Mr. Huang suddenly knelt on the ground.

"When the first emperor was alive, he was already the imperial doctor in the palace, and he personally diagnosed the first emperor's illness and deeply felt the virtue of the first emperor. His Majesty inherited the unification, and also trusted the ministers, and the ministers did not dare to slack off, just to be able to repay His Majesty's grace. ”

Empress Zhang pursed her lips slightly and did not interject.

Maybe Mr. Huang is too obese, and after saying these few words, he is already slightly panting.

After a pause, Mr. Huang continued, "Previously, the villain had diagnosed His Majesty several times, and knew that His Majesty's dragon body was weak, and there was a cyan birthmark between the thighs, shaped like plum blossoms. ”

Empress Zhang nodded thoughtfully.

"What do you mean, sir? Could it be ......"

To tell the truth, Empress Zhang was already deeply puzzled by Liu Chan's sudden and personal entry into the city tonight to resist the enemy, and it was this matter that she was entangled in.

"The villain healed His Majesty's injuries today and found that His Majesty ......" Mr. Huang hesitated for a moment, but still continued, but before he finished speaking, his body suddenly trembled, one hand covered his chest hard, and his lips moved with difficulty, but he was speechless.

"Mr. Huang!" Empress Zhang had a bad premonition.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded, and Qiao Xi stumbled in from outside.

"Niangniang Chitose, Chen, Lord Chen, he ......" Before the words fell, Chen Ji had already strode in.

"The slave is ordered by the Queen Mother to ask Mr. Huang to go and reply." As soon as Chen Ji came in, he said loudly, it seemed that the person sitting on the steps was not the mother of the main palace of Shu Han, but an ordinary palace person.

Empress Zhang frowned.

"Bold Chen Ji, Niang Niang Chitose is here, how can she be so presumptuous!" Duan'er, who had just heard the voice and ran in, angrily scolded Chen Jidao instead of Empress Zhang.

Chen Ji bowed down at this time.

"The slave should die, it's just that the Queen Mother is in a hurry, and the slave can't wait until he has to wait." Chen Ji said, but a pair of eyes were looking at Mr. Huang's body.

At this time, Mr. Huang's body was still shaking violently, and after a while, his body fell to the ground on his back.

"Qiao Xi, quickly pass other imperial doctors into the palace." Empress Zhang said.

The crowd panicked.

By the time the other two palace doctors arrived in a hurry, Mr. Huang had already lost signs of life, leaving only two long blood-colored liquids on his mouth and nose.

"Do you know what kind of poison Mr. Huang has?" Empress Zhang had already calmed down and asked.

The two imperial doctors looked flustered.

"Back to Niangniang's thousand years old, this poison is so strong, it is by no means a small effect, presumably the person who poisoned him is extremely familiar with Mr. Huang, otherwise it will definitely arouse Mr. Huang's suspicion. As for what kind of poison it is, it still needs to be checked slowly after the villain goes back. One of them bowed his head and said.

"No need." Empress Zhang waved her hand.

Although Mr. Huang's words were not finished, Empress Zhang had already roughly sorted out some clues.

"I beg the two gentlemen to ask someone to take Mr. Huang's body out of the palace and wait for His Majesty to dispose of it. If anyone asked, it was only said that Mr. Huang was already seriously ill, and he was too tired to treat His Majesty's injuries and died violently in the palace. ”

"The villain obeys."

The two imperial physicians looked at each other and replied at the same time.

After the two imperial doctors confirmed that Mr. Huang was dead, Chen Ji went back to reply to the Empress Dowager Wu, and here, only a few palace maids and Qiao Xi were left by Empress Zhang's side.

Empress Zhang stared intently at the place where Mr. Huang knelt just now.

"Duan'er, you go to Your Majesty's place to see who is serving around Your Majesty, and if you have already eaten."

"Duan'er commands." Duan'er promised to leave.

Empress Zhang called Qiao Xi again, lowered her voice and said something in his ear.

Josie seemed reluctant.

"Niangniang Chitose, Lord Chen is very fierce to the slave, and the sister named Ling'er, when she sees the slave, she will hold her ears and hold on." Qiao Xi said, and subconsciously touched the top of the ear with his hand, as if he was still in pain after being pinched by Ling'er last time.

Empress Zhang patted Qiao Xi's thin shoulder.

Qiao Xi was only twelve or thirteen years old, if it weren't for the eunuch Huang Hao who caused trouble in the palace and wantonly gathered his own Tongyu, he would never have entered the palace at his age and became an incomplete person.

Emperor Liu Chan has not stepped into his Jing'an Palace for more than half a month, and when she killed Huang Hao, Empress Zhang already had some suspicions, and just now, Mr. Huang's words made her feel even more uneasy. She felt that the entire palace was now shrouded in a mysterious aura, and the only person who could uncover this mystery might be herself.

Yongtai Palace:

Liu Yong was lying sideways on the dragon couch, a layer of cold frost condensed on his slightly pale face, and in his hand, he was still tightly clutching the feather arrow that had penetrated deep into his ribs.

Here, I couldn't hear the shouts of killing from outside the city, but Liu Yong clearly felt the tension before the enemy army was about to enter the city.
