Chapter 152 Queen: Is the Prince of Qi the Son of Concubine Gao?
The King of Qi tremblingly took the glass cup and dagger, and went to the inner room to draw blood under the guidance of Doctor Zhang.
When they reached the inner room, the King of Qi was still hesitating with the dagger in his hand.
Doctor Zhang came over and said, "If Your Highness is afraid of pain, I will give you Ma Fei San."
The King of Qi shook his head.
He is not afraid of pain now.
He was afraid that his background would be revealed.
He looked at Doctor Zhang and asked, "Doctor Zhang, I want to ask you, what would happen if my mother took the medicine made from her first heart's blood?"
Doctor Zhang sighed and said, "The poison of Yunmengjian will make the victim's entire body feel icy cold. If the first antidote is taken, the body temperature will return to normal."
"Why does Your Highness ask this?" Doctor Zhang was a little confused.
The King of Qi quickly shook his head. He was trembling slightly as he held the dagger, feeling a little overwhelmed.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Doctor Zhang continued, "Your Highness, if it were any later, the Yunmengjian would have seeped into his lungs, and I'm afraid..."
"Your Highness, please hurry up."
"I know." King Qi took a deep breath and his eyes fell on the dagger.
At this point, we can only take one step at a time.
He held the dagger in his hand and stabbed himself in the chest.
The bright red blood flowed down the dagger and dripped into the glass cup.
A man's scream was heard from the inner room, and Su Yuheng's lips curled up slightly.
Now that things have come to this, let’s see how the King of Qi and Duke Gao will resolve the issue.
The circle is over, and there is still a Liu Jinshu.
If this doesn't work, His Majesty will surely become suspicious and have someone secretly investigate the identity of the King of Qi.
The emperor cares most about the scandals of the royal family. If His Majesty knew that the Prince of Qi was not his son, he would not execute him openly, but...
He would be executed privately.
In the main hall of Chengxiang Palace, everyone was waiting.
After a while, Doctor Zhang brought out a cup of heart blood.
"Your Majesty, this must now be taken together with the Ganoderma Lucidum as medicine for the Imperial Concubine."
Emperor Showa said: "Then hurry up, the concubine is getting colder and colder."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As they were talking, they saw a black-clad guard helping the King of Qi out of the inner room.
The King of Qi had his chest bandaged, his face was in pain, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.
As he walked tremblingly in front of the crowd, his cold eyes fell on Su Yuheng.
The corners of Su Yuheng's lips curled up slightly, and he looked very proud.
The best is yet to come.
Judging from the weather now, the Prince of Qi's mansion must be in chaos.
I don’t know whether Bai Ze rescued the people from the underground prison in Prince Qi’s Mansion.
Emperor Showa saw the pale-faced Prince Qi and gave orders to the palace maid beside him.
"The Prince of Qi has taken the concubine's blood and is not in good spirits. Let's take him to Changxin Palace to rest first."
"He has to collect blood for the imperial concubine these days, so it's not appropriate for him to return to Prince Qi's residence. He will stay in Changxin Palace for the time being."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Several palace maids walked to the side of King Qi and wanted to help him to Changxin Palace, but several people hurried in from outside.
The leader was Wang Dequan, the eunuch who served Emperor Showa.
Behind Wang Dequan were two palace maids in pink.
After Wang Dequan came in from outside Chengxiang Hall, he walked cautiously to the side of Emperor Showa and handed him a bottle of poison.
"Your Majesty, this has been found by this old servant and his men."
"I don't know if it's Yunmengjian."
Wang Dequan's words made the queen's face turn pale.
Even the King of Qi, who was walking to the door, stopped.
The King of Qi returned to Chengxiang Palace to see who was trying to set a trap for him.
If there really was someone with ulterior motives who poisoned Concubine Gao, it must have been to test his identity.
Or rather, his identity is already known.
Emperor Showa took the medicine bottle, opened it gently, smelled it for a moment, and then handed the bottle to Su Yuheng.
"Princess Li, please take a look and see if the medicine in this bottle is from Yunmengjian."
Su Yuheng took the medicine and smelled it.
Then he said, "Your Majesty, this is undoubtedly Yunmengjian."
"This medicine is a secret medicine. It's not sold in ordinary pharmacies. It's only available on the black market."
"This medicine is expensive and not an ordinary poison."
Emperor Showa's face was cold, and his eyes were fixed on the medicine bottle in Su Yuheng's hand.
He asked, "Wang Dequan, where did you find this medicine?"
Eunuch Wang looked a little embarrassed and glanced at the Empress next to Emperor Showa.
"Your Majesty, I found it in the Queen's bedroom."
The Queen's face was filled with panic when she heard Emperor Showa's cold voice.
"Queen, won't you give me an explanation?"
"Why is this poison in your Fengyi Palace?"
Emperor Showa's voice was cold and there was a hint of anger on his face.
When the Queen Mother was pregnant with him, she almost had a miscarriage due to the conspiracy of the concubines in the harem.
Emperor Showa hated the scheming of the harem since he was a child.
This was true for Concubine Gao and the Empress as well.
The Queen's body stiffened, and when she saw Emperor Showa glaring at her, she immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, it is impossible for me to poison Concubine Gao. Please understand your Majesty!"
"Someone must have wanted to frame me and placed this poison in my Fengyi Palace."
Emperor Zhaohe said coldly, "Someone has framed you? The person you are talking about is probably Concubine Gao."
"I just don't believe it. Could it be that Concubine Gao is willing to sacrifice her own life just to frame you?"
"Tell me the truth!" Emperor Showa slammed his palm on the edge of the bed.
The queen immediately knocked her head to the ground.
"Did you send someone to buy this poison from the black market? What was your purpose? Was it you who poisoned Shen Wan?"
"Or do you want me to pull out all the maids and nannies in your Fengyi Palace and interrogate them one by one before you are willing to tell the truth?"
The queen knelt on the ground, her hands trembling.
At this point, she could only blame herself for not destroying the medicine.
But who was the person who drugged Concubine Gao? What was his intention?
"Your Majesty, I had someone buy this medicine on the black market."
"But I really didn't poison the imperial concubine. Please, Your Majesty..."
"Pa!" Before the empress could finish her words, Emperor Showa raised his hand and slapped her hard in the face.
The queen fell to the ground after being slapped, with blood oozing from the corner of her lips.
Emperor Zhaohe said angrily: "Just now you told me that this medicine is not yours, but now you admit it yourself. I didn't expect that the Queen of Dayan would actually learn to deceive the emperor."
"You know what I hate most is the intrigues among you women in the harem, and now you keep crossing my line!"
"Tell me! Was it you who poisoned Concubine Gao? And what was your intention in having someone buy the poison on the black market?"
The empress was stunned by the slap from Emperor Showa. She covered her swollen cheek and got up from the ground, looking at Emperor Showa in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, I have been married to you for twenty years, and you actually slapped me in the face for Concubine Gao!"
Emperor Showa: "I ask you, why did you buy Yunmengjian's medicine?"
"If you don't explain everything to me today, don't blame me for deposing you from the position of Queen!"
The queen gritted her teeth.
At this point, this is the only way I can cover up the lie.
"That's what I say."
"I was suspicious of the King of Qi's identity, so I asked someone to give Concubine Gao medicine."
"I just want to test whether the King of Qi is the son of Concubine Gao."
