Men are inferior to women

After a stalemate between the two sides for a while, Du Ruxue finally stepped aside and let Di Ao in.

Now that Di Ao is in charge of all the officials and controlling the government, Du Ruxue can't really stop her from outside the Ganxin Hall.

As for Di Ao's other henchmen, of course they can roll as far as they can, and they are not even allowed to get close.

In the end, those who followed Di Ao into the Hall of Ganxin were those officials who were neutral or on Qiao Sen's side, except for a dozen or so ministers.

Fang Zhou sized up Du Ruxue in the air. This woman is very powerful, but she still couldn't find the invisible Fang Zhou and Liu Wa.

If it wasn't for the fear of being noticed, Fang Zhou would fly over her head and dangle a few times, farting for her to taste.

Taking advantage of the gate of Ganxin Hall being pushed open, Fang Zhou flew in with Liu Wa on his back.

There is a faint scent of incense in the Qianxin Hall, which is used to cover up the peculiar smell produced by the patient after long-term bed rest.

When Qiao Sen came in, he saw his mother unconscious on the hospital bed. Seeing her haggard and skinny, Qiao Sen's eyes turned red.

I haven't seen him for nearly a month, but Emperor Qiao Zhi's condition has become more serious than before, almost to the point of exhaustion.

In addition to the maids in the Qianxin Palace, there is also a middle official named Zhu Qihuai, who replaced Li Shuxian after she disappeared.

"Zhu Zhongguan, I begged for the immortal medicine for my mother alone, you should take it for her quickly."

Qiao Sen took the jade box from Yuqing and handed it to Zhu Qihuai. According to the regulations, only middle officials can give medicine to the emperor, and no one else can intervene.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will serve the emperor right now."

Zhu Qihuai took the jade box, opened it, and saw that the elixir's attractive appearance and fairy spirit made her look happy, and she was going to take it to Emperor Qiao Zhi.

"Wait a moment!"

Di Ao, who led many ministers into the Qianxin Hall, stopped suddenly.

Everyone looked over, and Di Ao said slowly: "According to the palace rules, shouldn't the medicine be tested first?"

According to the rules in the palace, the emperor's diet will be tried in advance by a special person to avoid being drugged. If it is a drug, it is even more necessary for the imperial doctor to test the drug.

Of course, this rule is a bit ridiculous when Emperor Qiao Zhi is suspected of being poisoned.

Qiao Sen said angrily: "What do you mean? Do you want to say that Gu will offer poison to the Queen Mother like some traitors?"

Qiao Sen's implicative scolding made every minister in the room watch his nose, nose, nose and heart, and dared not speak up at all.

Di Ao smiled: "Of course not. Your Highness is filial to the heavens, so how could he hurt the emperor, but rules are rules, and there are no rules without rules. As the Crown Prince, Your Highness should set an example."

Qiao Sen stared at Di Ao angrily. She believed that the elixir brought by Yu Qing would be fine, but felt that Di Ao was messing around on purpose.

After a stalemate between the two sides, Qiao Sen shook his sleeves violently: "If you want to try, try it."

If the stalemate continues, others may think that Qiao Sen is guilty, and it is indeed a normal requirement to test drugs.

Di Ao didn't show any complacency, but just ordered the maid to invite the imperial doctor to test the medicine.

Many people present thought that Di Ao did this on purpose to disgust Qiao Sen, including Qiao Sen himself.

But Fang Zhou didn't think much of it, he had been observing Di Ao all this time, he was arrogant and had no interest in humiliating an opponent he despised.

The medicine brought by Yu Qing must be fine, and Di Ao would know that the reason for asking the imperial doctor to test the medicine was definitely not to disgust Qiao Sen deliberately, because she looked down on Qiao Sen at all, and did not regard him as an opponent.

The imperial doctor came soon, and under the gaze of many ministers, he took the jade box tremblingly.

Di Ao smiled at the imperial doctor: "Physician Chen, you have to test the medicine carefully, and you must not make any mistakes."

Chen Taiyi nodded with sweat profusely, opened the jade box carefully, and took out the elixir.

Seeing this purple jade heart-protecting pill, Imperial Physician Chen's eyes stared straight, and his breathing almost stopped: "This... this... this kind of fairy medicine..."

As a doctor, seeing this elixir is like seeing a peerless treasure, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.

Although he understands the doctor's obsession with this kind of fairy medicine, Chen Taiyi took too long to see it, and some ministers began to urge them dissatisfied.

Only then did Imperial Physician Chen come back to his senses, reluctantly took a second look, and put the elixir on the table.

Then he carefully took out a small knife from the medicine box he carried with him, and scraped off some powder on the Purple Jade Huxin Pill.

The process of testing the medicine is to scrape the powder from the pill, feed it to the pigeons and the tester respectively, and wait for several hours to see if there will be any adverse reactions.

Fang Zhou was very skeptical of Di Ao's insistence on testing the medicine, so he approached and watched the doctor Chen's every move.

She carefully scraped off the powder from the purple jade heart-protecting pill, dropped it on a small jade plate, and then put the purple jade heart-protecting pill back into the jade box.

At this time, she was facing the people in the hall with her body sideways. The moment she put the jade box back, the eyes of everyone in the Qianxin Hall were subconsciously attracted by the purple jade heart protection pill.

With the other hand of Imperial Physician Chen, using the cover of his body, he took out a little powder from his sleeve and mixed it on the jade plate with lightning speed.

Chapter 288. 287. Backstab from Di Ao

Imperial Physician Chen did this almost without anyone noticing, no one in the hall noticed it, and no one thought that she would actually do such a trick under the watchful eyes of everyone.

However, Imperial Physician Chen never expected that there would be an invisible person standing in front of her, who could clearly see her little movements.

After seeing the little tricks of the doctor Chen, Fang Zhou suddenly realized, and almost clapped his hands in praise.

He finally understood why Di Ao insisted on testing the medicine. The Imperial Physician Chen was 100% Di Ao's man, and deliberately mixed in the poison during the testing process.

As long as the pigeons used to test the medicine and the person who tested the medicine were poisoned on the spot, it would be immediately confirmed that the elixir offered by Qiao Sen to the emperor was poison.

In front of so many people, Qiao Sen might not be able to argue with a hundred words, it would be useless for an honest man to explode, and he would immediately be beaten as a regicide by Di Aocongxiao.

This trick is really too bad, if Fang Zhou didn't come over and stare at him temporarily, I'm afraid even he would be deceived.

Then there is really no way to recover, obediently admit defeat.

Doctor Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, carefully picked up the jade dish containing the powder, and prepared to feed it to the pigeons and drug testers.

Fang Zhou followed and reached out to tap her wrist lightly.

Doctor Chen immediately shook like an electric shock, the jade plate in his hand fell from his hand, fell to the ground and broke into pieces

Everyone in the hall was taken aback by this incident, and Imperial Physician Chen seemed to be stupefied as well, staring blankly at the shattered jade plates and powder on the ground.

Di Ao said coldly: "Physician Chen, what are you doing? Hurry up and fix it again."

Only then did Imperial Physician Chen come back to his senses, and quickly apologized: "Forgive me, my lord, I was nervous for a while, so let's fix it! Let's fix it!"

Others also thought that Imperial Physician Chen was too nervous to break the jade plate.

Yu Qing originally thought so too, but seeing Imperial Physician Chen rushing back without even cleaning up the powder on the ground, his thin eyebrows frowned, and his eyes were fixed on the movements of Imperial Physician Chen.
