Chapter 322: The King of a Country
The 'Peanut' was split in two by someone unknown, and red blood oozed out. The white 'fruit' inside was as soft as a flesh worm.
Liang Han 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 blankly and opened his mouth: "...It looks like a poison. I once I heard it among the people, commonly known as grass ghost. ”
Gao Qian changed color in vain, and his eyes were gloomy and terrifying: "What a virtuous and virtuous queen, how dare you practice witchcraft in the palace!"
Witchcraft has been expressly prohibited in all dynasties. Once discovered, he will be punished with death, and everyone present will remain silent.
"Pass the solitary order to capture Zhaoyang Palace immediately!"
Qian Shizhong and Jiang Hujun took the order and left with their men.
Gao Qian lowered his head again, and Liang Han 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 through the window on Gao Qian's face. In a daze, he raised his hand to block it. Just like that, he woke up, sat up suddenly, and turned his head to look at the window. , it didn’t feel dazzling, and the expression on his face seemed to be happy but not happy. Then, he raised his hand again and looked at it for a long time.
Xiang Lan 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 them.
Xianglan was afraid that he would be angry when he got 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.
I 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 had no objection.
The palace servants who were guarding outside the curtain came in with basins and clean clothes.
While Gao Qian was washing, the imperial doctor was talking about Liang Huan's general condition, stopping to look at his expression from time to time.
The imperial doctor talked in a roundabout way. Gao Qian had already had a headache listening to it, but 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 Gu has been destroyed and cannot be eradicated, right?"
The imperial doctor's eyelids twitched and he knelt down: "Witch Gu has always been regarded as a harmful poison and a taboo technique. No one at the Imperial Medical Office could figure it out, and the ministers had to search through forbidden books to find this compromise. If the empress forced the fetus to be preserved, not to mention whether the fetus would be stillborn, even if the baby could be saved, she would be afraid of the baby during delivery. The empress will also have dystocia and her life is in danger."
"I boldly confessed to Your Majesty that fortunately the poison was discovered in time and the poison has not penetrated deep into the bone marrow, so we can still try our best. If it had been a few days later, 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 anger. 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. This will definitely harm the fetus, and 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 we keep delaying the treatment?"
The imperial doctor was cruel and raised his head and said: "The only way for the empress to give birth to this baby is to completely eliminate the poison. There is a possibility of another pregnancy."
Gao Qian was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly: "Go down." The 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."
"Huh, didn't know?" Gao Qian said coldly He snorted, "She was stripped naked and tied up in front of the Zhaoyang Palace to be tortured by Lingchi. All the concubines, palace servants, and chamberlains were ordered to watch. She was left alone to see how many swords she could endure!"
"Emperor!"
A low voice sounded outside the curtain.
"How can we be so humiliating to the mother of a country when there is not enough evidence?"
The Queen Mother walked in with a sullen face. The palace servants bowed 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, you will take the Queen Mother to see the Gu now, and then go to Langhuayuan to check the source of the flower. "
Qian Shizhong reluctantly responded, twitching the corners of his mouth and looking at the Queen Mother with an awkward expression.
Get? How many lives does he dare to take?
"The Queen Mother——"
The Queen Mother glanced at the sleeping person on the bed, stopping on a face that didn't know whether to 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. What kind of behavior is this?"
Gao Qian simply raised his feet and sat beside 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? ?”
“Huh, my mother also knows that I am the king of a country?” Gao Qian shook his head and sneered, “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 to keep her in the future. The premise is that she can behave herself."
Gao Qian smiled: "The queen obviously doesn't If you like the queen, why do you 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 sarcasm and said, "Ah Qian, this is all for your own good."
Gao Qian raised his eyebrows: "The Queen Mother Ruowu. Please go back for other things. Concubine Shu is still ill and unable to chat with you."
After 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 all the people and the world? What?”
The Queen Mother was startled when she heard this, then smiled and shook her head.
"A Qian, are you sure she wants your protection?"
Gao Qian pinched his fingers and smiled: "That's her business, what does it have to do with me?"< br>
“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?”
