dumb queen

After drinking the bowl of black and bitter concoction, Xie Chaoge did not vomit blood anymore.

But his face was still pale with gray, and he was lying motionless on the bed, as if he had died.

If it wasn't for the residual warmth left in his body, he would be no different from a dead person.

Liu Sheng and the other imperial physicians got the pot of poisoned wine, and they researched it, but Liu Sheng's face changed.

He recognized this kind of poison, but he didn't dare to make decisions on some matters, and he also knew that in the palace, there were some things that should never be said carelessly.

The medicine given to Xie Chaoge earlier could temporarily suppress the toxicity. Liu Sheng and several imperial physicians stayed in Liushang Palace all night, observing Xie Chaoge's condition while discussing the prescription and treatment measures.

Xiao Jin never left Liushang Palace, sat by the bed, looked at Xie Chaoge on the bed, and just guarded him all night.

On the second day, the sky was slightly brighter.

Su Jing entered the inner hall and quietly walked to the side of the bed.

Xiao Jin was leaning against the bed with his eyes closed, as if he fell asleep while sitting up.

But Su Jing just called out to the emperor in a low voice, and the person leaning on the bed opened his eyes.

The long and narrow eyes are full of ferocious red bloodshot eyes, it really is a night without sleep.

Su Jing said worriedly, "Your Majesty, you didn't take much rest last night, so you must not be exhausted, and it's getting late now, and it's time for you to go to court."

Xiao Jin turned his head to look at Xie Chaoge on the bed, and said, "Not going."

Su Jing said again, "Your Majesty, but the Empress Dowager has been watching secretly all the time, and your Majesty, haven't you been suspecting that someone in the court is secretly plotting lately? If you don't go to the court, will you really not delay the big event? This All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are already waiting in the palace..."

Xiao Jin took Xie Chaoge's hand, and inserted his five fingers forcefully between his fingers, sticking tightly to that weak and boneless hand.

"I said, if I don't go to court today, let them all disperse."

Su Jing sighed softly, said "yes", and left.

After a whole night, the person on the bed showed no signs of waking up.

Xiao Jin stretched out his hand to caress Xie Chaoge's pale cheeks, the face under his fingertips was pale and fragile, as if he would never wake up again after falling asleep.

"Jiaojiao, are you still angry with me?"

Xiao Jin's voice was low and hoarse, "You have slept for a long time, why don't you wake up? If you wake up, I can promise you that the past will not be the same... as long as

You are fine, I believe in you, I believe that you want to stand by my side

"Aren't you curious, why do I know your baby name?"

"Unfortunately, you have forgotten that the first time I saw you was not in the palace, but in the Xiangguo Mansion..."

At that time, Xie Chaoge was only five or six years old, with red lips and white teeth, like a little girl carved in pink and jade, wearing a pink and tender brocade skirt.No one could have imagined that there was actually a handle under the skirt.

At that time, Xiao Jin was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he was the prince of the East Palace, and he studied under Xiangguo Lord Xie Yuan, so he often came to Xiangguo's mansion to ask for advice, but the young Xiao Jin already had a dignified and arrogant aura.

When Xiao Jin went to Xiangguo's mansion that day, Lord Xiangguo had not returned to the mansion, so Xiao Jin waited in the front hall.

Unexpectedly, a pink little girl waited for her.

The little girl's eyes were watery and her waist-length hair was hanging loose. She just stared at him without speaking.

After a while, someone shouted outside, "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, where did you go? You haven't combed your hair yet!"

After hearing this, the little girl ran away with her short legs, but was grabbed by Xiao Jin with one hand and pulled back by the collar.

Xiao Jin found it interesting, approached him and asked, "You are just Jiaojiao? Someone is looking for you outside."

Jiaojiao nodded, looked out, then shook her head eagerly, then looked at Xiao Jin eagerly, wanting him to let go of herself.

Seeing his eager look, Xiao Jin felt even more interesting when he was so close that he could still smell the scent of milk on his body.

"Little Jiaojiao, do you want me to let you go?" Xiao Jin smiled, "How about this, you call my brother to come and listen, and if you call my brother, I will let you go."

The little milk baby looks soft and waxy, and the voice must be sweet and milky.

But Jiaojiao didn't speak. Hearing the cries getting closer and closer outside, he took Xiao Jin's hand and opened his mouth to bite it.

Xiao Jin felt a sharp pain from his small canine teeth, and he let go of his hand.

Then Xiao Jiaojiao ran away like a whirlwind.

At this time, the woman who was chasing from outside the door also stepped in. After seeing Xiao Jin, she hurriedly bowed down respectfully.

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

"Yes." Xiao Jin hid the tooth marks on the back of his hand into his sleeves and replied seriously, "Second Teacher, please get up."

The woman is Xie Chaoge's biological mother and also a concubine of the Xiangguo Mansion.

"May I ask His Royal Highness, did you see a little boy running over just now? He looks about this tall, with loose hair and wearing a pink dress.

skirt……"

Xiao Jin was stunned when he heard this, "Small, boy?"

The woman smiled a little embarrassedly, "Yes... the concubine's son..."

Xiao Jin's eyes changed, he smiled suddenly, and said, "I didn't see it, maybe he ran away."

After the people in the house chased him out, Xiao Jin sat alone in the front hall, stroking the tooth marks on the back of his hand, and his smile deepened. "Jiaojiao..."

Xiao Jin, who was caught in the memories, was a little dazed, and suddenly felt that the hand in his palm seemed to move.

Xiao Jin's heart suddenly surged with ecstasy. He bent down, leaned close to Xie Chaoge and called softly, "Jiaojiao, did you hear what I said? Are you going to wake up? If you can hear If so, just open your eyes and look at me, okay?"

But the person on the bed didn't respond.

Xiao Jin's heart sank suddenly, and he called out in a low voice, "Liu Sheng!"

Liu Sheng, who was originally in the outer hall, quickly ran in.

"Your Majesty, the subject is here!"

"Come here quickly and take a look. Concubine Xie seemed to be a little conscious just now. He moved a hand, but why hasn't he woke up?"

Liu Sheng hurried to the bedside to diagnose Xie Chaoge's pulse, then frowned, as if he was hesitant to tell the truth.

"What is Concubine Xie's condition? You have been in a coma for so long, can you cure this poison?"

Xiao Jin said in a cold voice, "If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I will remove your official position now! Then I will pull down all the useless waste from the Tai Hospital and cut them off!"

Seeing that Xiao Jin was angry, Liu Sheng also knew that delaying like this was not an option.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I have a cure. It's just that I still don't know about it, because if the dosage of this poison is different, the treatment method is also different. If you only take a small amount, it will not cause death. Will vomit blood and pass out, no harm to life..."

Liu Sheng paused, "If you take a certain dose, you will also vomit blood and become unconscious, but this will be life-threatening, and you must use strong medicine to treat it. What I don't know now is, Xie Concubine, what is he? Which kind of situation is it?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jin's eyes turned cold, he walked over in two or three steps, and kicked Liu Sheng to the ground

Liu Sheng suffered from pain in his shoulder, he knew that the emperor would be angry when he said this, so he quickly knelt down again and bowed his head to the ground.

"What do you mean by that, you suspect that Concubine Xie just took a small amount of poisoned wine, and then made a near-death appearance of vomiting blood and comatose, so as to deceive the king?"

Liu Sheng kowtowed again and again, "Your Majesty, I dare not, I dare not speculate on Concubine Xie like this! I am just telling the truth, and I also believe that Concubine Xie will never do such a deceitful behavior! I will go to prescribe the prescription immediately." Son, use a few doses of strong medicine to fight poison with poison for Concubine Xie."

"Wait." Xiao Jin walked in front of Liu Sheng, stretched out his hand and lifted his collar, the coldness in his eyes frightened Liu Sheng so much that he couldn't help shaking.

"If you just take a small amount of poisoned wine and then use strong medicine to attack, what will be the consequences?"

Liu Sheng replied tremblingly, "If you go back to the emperor, the strong medicine is also somewhat poisonous, and the medicine is three-point poisonous, so I'm afraid there will be some danger to his life!"

Xiao Jin suddenly let go of Liu Sheng's collar, just now when he heard Liu Sheng's words, he felt a little scared in his heart.

What exactly are you afraid of?He couldn't tell either.

But after calming down and thinking about it, Xie Chaoge is the son of Xie Yuan, and Xie Yuan is the right-hand man of the Empress Dowager, would the Empress Dowager really execute Xie Chaoge to death regardless of Xie Yuan?

Or is it really like what Liu Sheng said, Xie Chaoge just took a small amount of poisoned wine, colluded with the Queen Mother, and resorted to a bitter trick.

If it's true, if it's true...

Xiao Jin clenched his fingers secretly, glanced at the person on the bed, and suddenly strode out of the hall.

Liu Sheng shouted from behind, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xie..."

"Take care with all your strength!"

Su Jing was standing guard outside the palace gate, when he saw Xiao Jin coming out, he was startled, "Your Majesty, you..."

I saw that Xiao Jin's brows and eyes were full of depression, the scarlet in his eyes increased instead of diminishing, and a cold and oppressive pressure lingered all over his body.

"Su Jing," Xiao Jin said, "bring me all the maids and eunuchs who participated in this matter in the Empress Dowager's bedroom that day, and I will interrogate myself!"

"Yes!" Su Jing replied, and hurried to do it.

But who knows, when Su Jing went to ask the father-in-law in charge of the Empress Dowager's palace, he heard that the maids and eunuchs who were on duty that day had disappeared for no reason.

It is true that no one is alive, no dead body is seen, if you want to know what happened that day, there is no way to track it down.

But fortunately, Su Jing bought a little maid in the Queen Mother's dormitory earlier, and after many twists and turns, the little maid actually helped Su Jing find a fish that slipped through the net, a little eunuch who was guarding the palace gate that day.

Taking the little eunuch to a side hall in the palace, Xiao Jin was already waiting there.

Right after he was arrested, the little eunuch was beaten severely, and finally fell to the ground and convulsed.

He was so frightened that he kept begging for mercy, saying that he didn't know anything, crying and begging the emperor for mercy.

Xiao Jin ordered people to stop, and then asked people to bring up the pot of poisoned wine, winked, and then asked people to forcefully pour the pot of poisoned wine into the mouth of the little eunuch.

The little eunuch's eyes were full of horror, and he struggled desperately, but he was still poured with most of the poisoned wine.

After a while, he felt severe pain in his abdomen, and fell on the floor, spitting blood continuously.

The entire side hall was filled with the strong and pungent smell of blood, and the little eunuch was pulled by his hair and raised his head.

Xiao Jing looked over coldly, "I'm asking you, how much poisoned wine did Concubine Xie have that day? Is it as much as you just went in?"

The little eunuch's facial features grimaced from the pain, and he couldn't speak clearly. He nodded and shook his head for a while, as if he had lost his mind.

He struggled violently, and actually tore off the piece of scalp that was tied to the hair, and then rolled and thrashed on the ground, splashing blood all over the ground.

Xiao Jin stepped forward, walked up to the little eunuch, stepped on his back, and pressed hard.

There was only the sound of cracking bones, and the little eunuch's spine was crushed, and more blood gushed out of his mouth, and finally he was unable to struggle, lying on the ground like a dead dog. Panting, I can't even cry out in pain.

"I'll ask you again, how much poisonous wine did Concubine Xie drink that day? I know that you are sincere to the queen mother, but if you don't answer, I will make you suffer so much pain before you die, that you will not be able to survive. Please die!"

The little eunuch lay on the ground and opened his mouth, and said something weakly.

Su Jing hurriedly lowered his body to listen.

As soon as the little eunuch finished speaking, he died immediately.

Xiao Jin withdrew his feet, a lot of blood-stained stolen goods were stained under the bright yellow dragon robe, and he didn't realize it.

"Su Jing, what did he just say?"

Su Jing still knelt on the ground, did not get up, raised his head slightly to look at the emperor, obviously frightened and hesitant.

There was anger in Xiao Jin's voice, "Su Jing, I asked you something! Say it quickly and report it truthfully!"

Su Jingdao, "Return...to the emperor's words...the little eunuch said that Concubine Xie was only poured into a small cup of poisoned wine...because... ..because

For the Empress Dowager's order, don't hurt his life..."

"What did you say?"

Xiao Jin turned around suddenly, "Don't hurt his life? Don't hurt his life! If the queen mother gave him poisoned wine, why didn't he hurt his life? Su Jing, tell me!"

Xiao Jin's chest was burning with rage, his eyes were red, his internal organs were about to be burnt to ashes, and even his temples were throbbing, as if they were going to explode from it.

It's ridiculous, he has been worrying for a whole day and night, even postponed morning, and has been guarding beside his bed without sleep, waiting for such a result.

Su Jing could hear the anger in Xiao Jin's tone, when Xiao Jin crushed the little eunuch's bones hard just now, he looked a little crazy.

"Your majesty, slave, I don't know..."

"You don't know, I know! I'm telling you, it's because Xie Chaoge and the Queen Mother conspired secretly, but he staged a bitter trick for me.

Come to gain my trust!What do they think of me?Are you treating me like a fool? The author has something to say
