Chapter 528: Hard to Defend
In the west hall of the Tai Chi Palace, the candlelight made the palace shine brightly, and the soft light blurred the edges and corners of the solemn palace. It was a rare tranquility and comfort.
The layout and decoration of the palace were no different from what she had seen before.
Liang Han walked deeper into the inner hall step by step.
For a moment, she almost thought that Gao Qian would come out from behind the thick curtain, or suddenly stand behind and call her.
Liang Han finally stopped in front of the white wall. What was displayed on the display rack were no longer white bone sculptures, but real musical instruments and utensils...
As for those bone sculptures, she had ordered someone to Buried in a cave.
She looked silently for a moment, then continued walking inside.
Right to the deepest point, there are several large boxes, stuffed to the brim.
Liang Han took a few steps closer, bent down to pick up the items inside, and looked at them carefully.
There are many calligraphy, paintings and music scores written by Gao Qian in the past, and even a lot of her handwriting was found in them.
If I remember correctly, she should have done it when she was still in the Taishi Mansion.
At that time, apart from conveying to him the true and false news about Lu Xiu, what she thought about most was how to enter the palace as soon as possible and kill him.
So in order to cater to him, she put a lot of effort into calligraphy, painting and composing music.
Who wants to wait until he actually enters the palace? Instead of being able to kill him right away, the most he does is play chess with him.
Liang Huan looked around and found nothing special.
The palace man bowed his head and said: "I have packed these items long ago and will only wait for the Queen Mother to inspect them before dealing with them."
"Since they were made by the late emperor during his lifetime, they are only for burial."< br>
As soon as Liang Wen put the music score in his hand back into the wooden box, someone from the palace hurried in from outside.
“Queen Mother, that’s not good.”
Before she could speak, Jinlan scolded: "Why are you in such a hurry? You are so startled, there are really no rules."
The palace man's face turned pale, he bit his lip and knelt down in fear, still speaking. It's anxiety.
"Queen Mother, it's my lord, my lord...you, you'd better go and have a look."
Liang Huan's eyes flashed, and he stopped lingering, turned around and went to the side hall of Hanguang Hall. go.
The side hall was brightly lit, and many people gathered around the bed. When they saw the Queen Mother, they immediately stepped aside and knelt on the ground on both sides.
Gao Yang was lying on the bed with his eyes closed tightly, and he was vomiting blood in a coma.
The imperial doctor Ling did not bother to salute, and he and the two imperial doctors were busy trying to stop Gao Yang's bleeding.
Liang Huan said in a deep voice: "Why is it more serious than the past few days?"
Waiting for their answer, she pushed them away and stepped forward to check her pulse herself.
Add the acupuncture first and wait until the person has calmed down before diagnosing the pulse.
After struggling for a long time, Liang Huan was also sweating all over.
Seeing that Gao Yang was okay and sleeping peacefully, she turned around and faced the people kneeling on the ground.
The imperial physician ordered the medical records and prescriptions to be presented.
She took over the pages and looked at them. She had studied the changes in the medicine together with the imperial doctor, and there were no problems.
Suddenly, he paused for a moment and asked: "In addition to adding a new medicine, why is the amount of licorice also increased by one dollar?"
The imperial physician ordered the reply: "Your Majesty has been suffering from heart palpitations and shortness of breath for the past two days, and is also accompanied by a cough, so I added an extra penny to relieve the cough and asthma."
Liang Huan nodded slightly and asked again: "What is the decoction?" Who cooked it?”
Another imperial doctor and chamberlain came forward.
In order to prevent anyone from cheating on her, she specially ordered the chamberlains of Hanguang Palace and the imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Department to cook the food together and supervise each other.
Liang Huan asked: "How is it different from the usual decoction? Is there any difference?"
They both shook their heads.
Liang Han pursed her lips and glanced at them.
He then turned to the palace attendant and asked for the meal list.
Liang Han looked at it very seriously, and the inner hall filled with people kneeling there was completely silent.
After finishing it, she folded the menu and was silent for a long time.
Although the people kneeling below all had their heads buried, their eyes were secretly glancing at the face of the person sitting on the edge of the bed. As long as the Queen Mother remained silent, they waited in fear.
After a while, Liang Huan raised his head, his eyes slightly curved, and he pointed a few points with his fingers: "Drag them out and kill them with sticks."
Been The few people who were named were stunned and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Liang Huan put down the meal list in his hand, stood up and walked to them. He glanced over and saw that there were imperial doctors, chamberlains, and palace servants.
"Injustice? Where is the injustice?"
She frowned and looked over coldly: "The ingredients of this medicine have changed, and the dosage has also changed, but the length of time you decoction the medicine has not changed. When I asked you, he shook his head as a chamberlain, but you, an imperial physician, dared to shake your head."
The imperial physician was speechless and turned pale.
The chamberlain secretly felt relieved.
Liang Huan looked at him with a smile: "How to fry this medicine and how long to fry it, the imperial doctor's order did not explain it?"
The chamberlain froze.
The Imperial Physician Ling replied: "The decoction method of decoction not only varies from medicine to medicine, but even if the same medicine is in different seasons, the boiling method will be slightly adjusted."
Liang Huan nodded. .
He then looked at several other palace servants: "The soup and medicine have been changed, but the meal list has not been changed. The food that needs to be avoided is still as listed before..."
Liang Huan didn't want to say anything, and waved his hand: "Drag them all out and kill them with sticks."
Without waiting for the cry, some people came forward to tie him up and gag him.
Not long after, they were all dragged out of the palace.
The rest of the people were lying on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Liang Huan looked at them quietly for a while, leaving only the imperial doctor Ling and Jinlan, and then sent them all away.
She sat back on the edge of the couch in silence, but the imperial physician Ling took the initiative to say a few words of comfort to her.
"My lord, the poisoning is still superficial and has not damaged the fundamentals. As long as you stay calm and recuperate during this period, you will not be affected in the future, and you will never become like the late emperor..."
Liang Huan nodded lightly, She also knew what Gao Yang's situation was, and told him to be more careful.
When the imperial doctor ordered him to leave, Liang Huan stopped him again.
“Is it really not the Empress Dowager’s doing?”
On the day Gao Yang fainted, Liang Huan checked his pulse. He was not suffering from an ordinary illness, but was caused by accidentally taking poisonous weeds. syncope.
The imperial doctor lowered his eyes and knelt down with a very sincere attitude: "To be honest with the Queen Mother, the former Queen Mother did not wrongly accuse Xue Zhaoyi. Xue Zhaoyi did want to use others to assassinate the late emperor, but the Queen Mother accidentally saw through it, but -" < br>
Liang Huan stared at him: "It's just that she chose to take advantage of the trick."
The imperial physician Ling bowed deeply: "Yes."
Liang Huan shook his head and smiled: "It is true that Xue Zhaoyi was defeated, and the good opportunity to detoxify was missed, or in other words, the toxicity of the medicine was misjudged."
The imperial doctor ordered: "It is true."
After the imperial doctor left, the inner hall returned to silence.
Liang Huan turned his eyes to Gao Yang, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and asked Jinlan.
“What do you think?”
Jinlan lowered her head and said in a calm tone: “It’s easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. There are so many people in the harem. The Queen Mother will screen again, I'm afraid it's still impossible to prevent."
Liang Huan pursed her lips: "You think what happened today was not an accident?"
Jinlan said truthfully: "The Queen Mother has no children, only the Lord."
If Liang Huan sighed, how could she not know?
Once Gao Yang dies and there is no one left to succeed him, only those who crane their necks and wait will have a chance to sit in high positions.
After settling Gao Yang, Liang Huan walked to the ice cellar of the palace in the cool night wind.
In the deep ice cellar, there are naked and depressed people standing guard in front of the coffin.
Spices and herbs were neatly placed in the coffin.
They have not rested yet, they are still bathing the corpses.
Note ① Naked person, depressed person: the person responsible for carrying out the small burial
