Reborn from the bottom of the coffin, the miracle doctor and the ugly concubine fight against the wo

"Replying to the princess, Eunuch Gao asked the slaves to come and serve the princess." The clever palace maid said, "My name is Chunliu, and this one is Taozhi. If you have anything to do with the princess in the future, just give me your orders."

Chu Zhao nodded, casually took a few bites of vegetables, drank two mouthfuls of porridge and put down his chopsticks.

"This food is indeed not to my taste. You probably haven't eaten yet, so I'll give you these as a reward."

Chunliu was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "The slaves dare not go beyond the rules. The princess has traveled a long distance, and even if it doesn't suit her taste, she should eat more. Tomorrow morning, the slaves will return to Eunuch Gao and arrange for two cooks from the south to serve the princess. Cook."

Chu Zhao looked at Taozhi with a smile: "She won't eat, come and eat!"

Taozhi's expression froze, and she shook her head hastily: "Thank you, Princess, for your consideration. The rules in the palace are strict, and the slaves don't dare to be arrogant."

"What are you afraid of? I reward you." Chu Zhao said.

But both of them refused to eat it no matter what.

Chu Zhao looked at them and said with a displeased look on his face: "I kindly offer you food, but you are so pushy. Is it possible that this food is poisonous?"

The two were startled and fell to their knees with a plop.

Taozhi said tremblingly: "What did the princess say? This is a meal carefully prepared for the princess in the imperial kitchen. How can it be poisonous?"

Chu Zhao slapped the table, his face suddenly darkened, and his eyes became sharp: "It's not poisonous, what are you afraid of? What can I do if you take a few bites and show me?"

The two of them lay on the ground, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.

After a while, Taozhi suddenly got up and ran out.

"Want to run?" Chu Zhao caught up with her and kicked her to the ground. "Where are you going? Are you going to inform your master? Come on, tell me, who is your master?"

Taozhi fell heavily to the ground. She didn't know whether it hurt or was frightened. Her palm-sized face was completely drained of blood.

"Princess, please forgive me, Princess, please forgive me..." She cried and asked Chu Zhao for help.

But when Chu Zhao was diverted by her, Chun Liu took out a dagger and stabbed Chu Zhao in the back from behind.

Chu Zhao would naturally not be hurt by a palace maid with three legs. He turned around and grabbed her wrist, easily snatched the dagger away and threw her to the ground.

The sharp dagger glowed with a cold blue light. Chu Zhao took it in his hand and looked at it carefully: "Very good, not only is the food poisoned, but the dagger is also poisoned."

She waved the dagger casually a few times, and her voice became extremely cold: "Now you can always tell the truth. If anyone still refuses to tell, I will scratch their face with this dagger."

The two girls looked at each other, suddenly rushed to the dining table, desperately grabbed the dishes on the table and stuffed them into their mouths, swallowing them in big gulps.

This behavior was beyond Chu Zhao's expectations. By the time she reacted, the two of them had already eaten a lot.

Chu Zhao didn't stop them and watched them coldly as they finished most of the food.

While eating, Chunliu suddenly vomited black blood and fell to the ground without breathing.

Taozhi glanced at her and continued eating, but then he spit out a mouthful of black blood like her and lay on the table and died.

At this time, Chu Zhao also began to feel a vague pain in her belly. She put the dagger back into Chun Liu's arms, then rushed out holding her stomach.

"Help, help, someone is trying to kill me..." She stumbled and shouted as she ran towards the Queen Mother's bedroom.

It wasn't until a little eunuch heard her shout and ran over to her that she lay down on the ground relieved.

Several people rushed to her, held up lanterns, took a look at her, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's Princess Jingnan, what's wrong with her?"

"I've been poisoned." Chu Zhao said weakly, "Someone poisoned my food. Go and report it to the Queen Mother."

After saying this, she gasped and closed her eyes.

Several young eunuchs were so frightened that one hurriedly ran to report the incident to the Queen Mother, while the rest hurriedly carried her to the side hall.

The Queen Mother had already fallen asleep when she suddenly heard someone reported that Princess Jingnan had been poisoned and assassinated. She was so shocked that she lost all drowsiness. She repeatedly ordered people to call the imperial doctor quickly, put on her clothes again and went to the side hall to see her.

Chu Zhao was lying on the bed in the side hall and heard hurried footsteps approaching.

Immediately afterwards, the Queen Mother's urgent voice said: "How could this happen? Who is so bold that he actually reached out to Ci'an Palace? Hurry up and let the commander of the imperial army come to see the Ai family, and Yunjie, too." Call, where is the imperial doctor? Go and urge her, hurry up..."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The people below hurriedly carried out her orders, and the Queen Mother did not want anyone to help her. She walked quickly to Chu Zhao and bent down to check her condition.

Chu Zhao's face was pale, his lips were purple, and his eyes were closed tightly. He looked very scary.

The Queen Mother confirmed that she was not pretending, but was indeed poisoned, and was so angry that she scolded all the people involved.

As soon as Princess Jingnan entered the palace, the people hiding in the dark couldn't wait to kill her. Did they not want Princess Jingnan to treat her illness, or did they want Prince Jingnan's army to invade the capital?

Do a group of rebellious officials and traitors with ulterior motives think they can kill her in this way?

Just wait and see!

The Queen Mother was so angry that her face was livid. After her urging again and again, Judge Chen finally rushed over with two imperial doctors.

"Old minister meets the Queen Mother..."

"What kind of ginseng are you taking? What time of the day is this? Come and see Princess Jingnan." The Queen Mother interrupted them impatiently.

The three of them didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly went over to check on Chu Zhao's condition.

After some inquiring, Judge Chen reported to the Queen Mother: "Princess Jingnan has indeed been poisoned. Fortunately, the dose is not large, and her life is not in danger for the time being."

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and urged: "Then hurry up and give her a prescription to detoxify her!"

"This..." Chen Yuan concluded, "I haven't determined what kind of poison it is. We have to look at the food the princess has eaten before we can make a conclusion."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but want to get angry. Just then Gao Lin came over after hearing the news. Hearing that the imperial doctor wanted to see the food, he ordered the two young eunuchs to get it quickly.

"Queen Mother, please calm down. The Queen Mother has her own destiny and everything will be fine." Gao Lin helped the Queen Mother sit down and patted her back considerately.

The Queen Mother glanced at him: "You are here, where is the little noble son?"

Gao Lin said: "Your father-in-law must have been exhausted after traveling a long distance. He didn't hear any sound. Queen Mother, don't be anxious. There are slaves here and a few imperial doctors here. Everything will be fine."

The Queen Mother snorted angrily and said, "Where is Yunjie? Why hasn't Yunjie come yet?"

"The small pavilion is always outside the palace. No matter how fast it is, it will take some time. The Queen Mother will wait a moment." Gao Lin comforted the Queen Mother in a gentle voice and asked the palace maid to make tea to calm the Queen Mother's shock.

After a while, the little eunuch who went to the back to get the food came back, holding a few plates of leftovers, and said with a horrified expression: "To report to the Queen Mother, the two maids serving the princess have all been poisoned to death."

"What, are both of them dead?" The Queen Mother felt a chill on her back, "Did they also eat poisonous food?"

"I don't know, they are all dead anyway," the little eunuch said.

After the Queen Mother was frightened, she calmed down and asked the young eunuch to take the leftovers to the imperial doctor. She urged Gao Lin: "Hurry up and arrange a few people to protect the scene. We can wait until Yun Jie comes to worry about anything."

Gao Lin responded, looking at Chu Zhao who was unconscious on the couch, and went out to arrange manpower with a guilty conscience.

He had just said in the afternoon that he would try his best to protect the princess, but he didn't expect that the princess would be assassinated in the evening. He was so useless. If there was something wrong with the princess, he didn't know how to explain it to the prince.

As soon as Gao Lin left, the commander of the imperial army went out to see him again.

The Empress Dowager called people in with a sullen face, and gave a quick lecture: "This is Ci'an Palace, where the Ai family lives, and someone dares to poison and commit murder here. What use does the Ai family have in raising a bunch of trash like you?"

"The Queen Mother, please calm down. It is a dereliction of duty on the part of my subordinates to allow the Queen Mother to be frightened like this." The commander of the Forbidden Army knelt down to plead guilty, and then said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates will immediately launch a comprehensive investigation in the palace, and the person who poisoned the palace will be found as soon as possible. .”

"Check, hurry up and check. Not only the palaces, but also the imperial kitchen is a top priority. If you can't find out before dawn, the Ai family will chop off your head." The Queen Mother said sternly.

The commander of the Imperial Guards tremblingly accepted the order and left.

Chen Yuanjing and the others studied the plates of leftover soup for a long time, combined with Chu Zhao's symptoms, and finally made a conclusion that Chu Zhao was poisoned by aconitum.

Chu Zhao couldn't help but wanted to jump up and scold her. It was just a Aconitum. Did she need to study it for so long? Fortunately, she only ate a symbolic amount, otherwise the day lily would have been cold when these old people came to save her. .

Before, she just said that the hospital was a waste, and Chen Yuanjian was so angry. Now it seems that she has not wronged them at all.

The Queen Mother didn't understand this. When Chen Yuanjian said that he had found out what kind of poison it was, she urged him to detoxify Chu Zhao quickly.

Chen Yuanpan first prepared some pills for Chu Zhao to take, and then prescribed a decoction and asked the palace maid to grab the medicine and boil it.

Chu Zhao took the pills and the pain in his abdomen disappeared. Just as he was about to wake up, he heard the young eunuch say that He Xiaoge was here.

So she closed her eyes silently again, intending to listen to what He Yunjie and the Queen Mother had to say.
