Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

The peanut was split in two by someone unknown, and red blood oozed out. The white fruit inside was soft and soft, like a flesh worm.

Liang Huan stared at the things on the ground motionless, with goosebumps all over his body.

Gao Qian frowned and lowered his head to look at her: "What is this?"

Liang Huan stared at it blankly and opened his mouth: "...It looks like Gu. I have heard of it among the people, commonly known as grass ghost."

Gao Qian's expression changed in vain, and his eyes were gloomy and terrifying: "What a virtuous and virtuous queen, how dare you practice witchcraft in the palace!"

The art of witchcraft and Gu has been expressly prohibited in the past dynasties. Once discovered, it will be punished with death, and everyone present is as silent as a cicada.

"Pass the solitary order to capture Zhaoyang Palace immediately!"

Qian Shizhong and Jiang Hujun took the order and left with others.

Gao Qian lowered his head again, and Liang Huan was already unconscious.

Everyone was in a hurry, those who sent the imperial doctor, those who collected evidence...

*

Outside the window, it was already broad daylight. The lights in Hanguang Hall remained on all night.

Yuan Zhi covered her mouth and yawned, then put out the candle gently. Unexpectedly, the small movement woke up the imperial doctor who was taking a nap with his eyes narrowed.

He frowned deeply, sat up and continued to flip through the books on the desk.

Yuan Zhi stretched her neck and glanced at the book. It was very different from the common medical books. The patterns drawn on it looked strange.

She was about to ask, but she heard voices inside. The two looked at each other, then put down their work and went inside.

The early morning sunlight fell on Gao Qian's face through the window. In a daze, he raised his hand to block it. Just like that, he woke up, sat up suddenly, turned his head and looked at the window, but he didn't feel any glare at all. , the expression on his face seemed to be happy but not happy, and then he raised his hand again and looked at it for a while.

Xianglan heard the noise and looked back. The person on the couch was staring at his hands in a daze.

"Your Majesty is awake?"

It was the first time that the emperor stayed in Hanguang Palace, and he spent the whole night on the small couch in the inner room, and no one dared to persuade him.

Xianglan was afraid that he would be angry when he woke up in the morning, so he sweated a lot.

Gao Qian put down his hand and looked at the embroidered bed a few steps away. The person on it was still in the previous position, sleeping drowsily.

He didn't sleep well last night, so Gao Qian rubbed his temples.

Xianglan said softly: "Your Majesty is not awake yet, so your Majesty should change your clothes first."

Gao Qian didn't object.

The palace servants who were guarding outside the curtain then entered with basins and clean clothes.

While Gao Qian was washing, the imperial doctor was talking about Liang Huan's general condition, stopping from time to time to look at his expression.

The imperial doctor talked a lot in a roundabout way, which made Gao Qian's head hurt more and more. The key was that he couldn't understand a few words.

He impatiently threw the clean Ge towel into the copper basin and interrupted the imperial doctor's words.

"You want to say that the Gu has been destroyed and cannot be eradicated, right?"

The imperial doctor's eyelids twitched and he knelt down: "Witchcraft has always been regarded as a harmful poison and a taboo technique. No one in the imperial doctor's office can solve it. I only found this compromise method after searching through forbidden books. If the empress forcefully preserves the fetus, not to mention whether the fetus will be stillborn, even if the child is saved, I am afraid that during the delivery, the empress will have dystocia and her life will be in danger."

"I boldly confess to Your Majesty that fortunately the poison was discovered in time and the poison has not penetrated deep into the bone marrow. I can still try my best. If it is delayed for a few more days, I can only resign myself to fate."

Gao Qian remained silent and looked at the person on the bed.

The imperial doctor raised his eyes slightly and saw that the emperor did not show his angry face. He thought that a compromise method was feasible and said sincerely: "I also want to keep the emperor's heir, but if we really want to remove the poison, we must take strong drugs. In this way, we will definitely... If the fetus is injured, even if it is delivered in the future, it will still be a stillbirth. If it is delayed..."

The imperial doctor didn't finish speaking, he just sighed and knelt on the ground for a long time.

Gao Qian withdrew his gaze: "What will happen if you keep dragging it until you die?"

The imperial doctor was cruel, raised his head and said, "Only if the mother gives birth to this baby and completely removes the poison, will she be able to get pregnant again."

Gao Qian was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly: "Go down."

The imperial doctor understood and bowed down.

Gao Qian stood for a while and looked at Qian Shizhong aside: "Did the queen recruit?"

"The queen said she didn't know."

"Humph, you don't know?" Gao Qian snorted coldly, "I stripped her naked and tied her up in front of the Zhaoyang Palace to be tortured by Lingchi. I ordered all the concubines, palace servants, and chamberlains to watch. I wanted to see if she could hold on. How many knives!"

"emperor!"

A low voice sounded outside the curtain.

"There is not enough evidence, how can we humiliate the mother of a country like this?"

The Queen Mother walked in with a sullen face, and the palace servants lowered their heads and saluted, but Gao Qian stood straight and showed no reaction.

"The Queen Mother said there is not enough evidence?" Gao Qian frowned and smiled, "Qian Ming, take the Queen Mother to see the Gu now, and then go to Langhua Garden to find out where the flower came from."

Qian Shizhong reluctantly responded, twitching the corners of his mouth and looking at the Queen Mother with an awkward expression.

collar? How many lives does he dare to take?

"Mother, Queen Mother——"

The Queen Mother's eyes swept over the sleeping person on the bed, stopping on a face that couldn't laugh or cry, and waved her hands helplessly.

"You all get out."

After receiving the amnesty, Qian Ming, Xiang Lan and others all retreated to the outer room.

The Queen Mother paused for a moment and softened her tone: "The emperor even dismissed the morning court today. How is this unbecoming?"

Gao Qian raised his feet and simply sat next to Liang Huan's bed. There was no one else present, so he didn't bother to pretend.

He grabbed Liang Huan's hand and lowered his head to play with it: "Does it matter whether I am in the court or not?"

The Queen Mother frowned: "How can a dignified king of a country talk nonsense?"

"Oh, Queen Mother also knows that I am the king of a country?" Gao Qian shook his head and sneered, "The king of a country? Whose country is this, and whose king am I?"

"you--"

"What did I say wrong?" Gao Qian didn't even raise his head, he opened Liang Han's palm and interlocked his fingers with hers.

The Queen Mother watched his every move, she was not here to argue with him.

"If you are willing to give up on the queen, you can keep her if you want in the future. The premise is that she can behave herself."

Gao Qian laughed: "The queen mother clearly doesn't like the queen, why do she protect her again and again?"

The Queen Mother looked at him and sighed: "I am not protecting the Queen, I am protecting you."

Gao Qian smiled faintly and was extremely sarcastic: "Protect me? Mother is protecting her heart of playing with power, right? Having said that, I really have to admire her. Mother is a first-rate good method and can train me. Such a submissive dog."

The Queen Mother ignored his cynicism and said, "Ah Qian, this is all for your own good."

Gao Qian raised his eyebrows: "If you have nothing else to do, Queen Mother, please come back. Concubine Shu is still ill and unable to communicate with you."

After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at the soft fingers in his hand.

"Don't worry about the queen's affairs. The queen mother also said that Gu is the king of a country. Since he is the king of a country, if he can't protect even one person, how can he protect the people and the world?"

The Queen Mother was startled when she heard this, then smiled and shook her head.

"A Qian, are you sure she wants you to protect her?"

Gao Qian pinched his fingers and smiled: "That's her business, what does it have to do with me?"

"Also," the Queen Mother's eyes flashed, "You hold her like a treasure, but are you sure that what's in your belly is yours?"
