Chapter 361: Lure the Snake Out
With Bai Wuji's full support, Huo Yuchen's throne can be said to be as stable as a rock, and no one dares to say that his position is unstable.
Prince Zhao's eyes darted around, finally settling on Huo Yuchen's chiseled face. He asked tentatively, "Your Highness, you must have a skilled doctor by your side, right?"
"Even though Divine Doctor Baili's medical skills are exceptional, he can't possibly remove the poison from General Bai's body. He's said to have been poisoned by five or six different kinds of poisons, each of which is extremely difficult to remove. The toxins are so mixed together that it's impossible to remove them easily."
He glanced at Baili Qingyun again and said with great certainty, "This... In this world, people who can detoxify such a difficult poison must be extremely rare and extraordinary. It is absolutely impossible for Divine Doctor Baili to do it..."
Huo Yuchen glanced at Baili Qingyun lightly, then made a gesture of invitation with an elegant posture, indicating that the other party could do what he wanted.
Baili Qingyun coughed twice, with a hint of teasing in his voice.
"I'm sure Your Highness has heard of my medical skills long ago."
"Those difficult and complicated diseases that left so many imperial physicians helpless were all cured by my miraculous hands. But I never expected that under the prince's golden words, this genius doctor would become a mediocre mediocre doctor. It's really ridiculous!"
As for Lin Pianran's achievements, that was a secret that could not be leaked at all, in order to prevent her from becoming the focus of everyone's attention and being involved in unnecessary turmoil and danger.
This credit can only be attributed to Baili Qingyun.
This was the result that Huo Yuchen had discussed with everyone long ago.
Baili Qingyun continued, "Look again, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gradually getting better, General Bai has also recovered, and Huo Qing is now alive and well. Doesn't all this prove that this divine doctor's medical skills are extremely superb?"
King Zhao stared at the people in front of him whose faces were filled with vitality, and the suspicion in his heart began to waver.
However, just as his thoughts were fluctuating, there seemed to be a subtle voice in his heart, quietly questioning him, which disturbed his mood.
However, he still couldn't believe that Baili Qingyun's medical skills were so amazing.
You have to know that even the "Poison Lord", the most famous poison master in the world, would never be able to do this. How could a young doctor do it?
King Zhao still found it unbelievable.
Huo Qing didn't want to argue with King Zhao about the issue of poison anymore. He stared at his biological father, who was covered in wounds and had aged a lot overnight. He was the one who gave him life.
My heart was filled with mixed emotions, hatred and resentment, but I couldn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy for him.
She just looked at him with a cold and ruthless expression, looking down on him, and asked coldly, "Father, what happened to my mother?"
King Zhao's lips trembled for a long time, and he looked at his biological son in front of him with mixed emotions.
Finally, he stammered, "She...her health is not good. She has been resting quietly in the yard..."
Huo Qing sneered, his eyes filled with sad tears.
"Is it reasonable for a mother to not see her child for twenty years? Do you think I'll believe your lies? You've told so many lies that you've probably even believed them yourself."
An expression of embarrassment instantly appeared on King Zhao's face.
"She...she's just too weak to take care of you, so don't blame her..."
"You couldn't take care of me, yet you gave birth to three children in a row. Are you treating me like a three-year-old and trying to trick me? We're both mothers, but she couldn't take care of me, yet she could take care of her other children. How can that be justified?"
"What on earth have you been hiding from me? Do you really think I'm such a complete fool that I don't realize it at all? Am I going to let you trick and deceive me?"
Huo Qing became more and more indignant as he spoke, and his voice unconsciously rose several degrees.
Tears were falling down continuously.
Twenty years of grievances and unwillingness turned into tears and burst out.
King Zhao's face changed rapidly, first from pale to red, and then from red to pitch black. His face was colorful and extremely ugly.
Upon closer thought, the question raised by Huo Qing could not be explained in any way.
King Zhao was speechless and had to grit his teeth, not daring to say another word. It was true that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make, and there was no point in saying more.
Once this secret is revealed, the Zhao Palace will be overturned in an instant, countless people will be implicated, and blood will flow like a river...
Thinking of this, King Zhao became even more determined to refuse to tell the truth.
Seeing the King of Zhao acting like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, Huo Qing knew that he was guilty.
But Huo Qing would not care about his feelings, nor would he let him go so easily.
He spoke again indifferently, "If my guess is correct, the woman in Princess Zhao's courtyard is not my mother. I just want to know where my mother went? How is she now?"
King Zhao's heart trembled. Could it be that they had all guessed it, or did they already have some solid evidence?
His heart was in turmoil, but he appeared calm on the surface.
He acted as if he didn't hear anything, closed his eyes and refused to speak, just wanting to play dead.
Huo Qing still refused to give up. He continued indignantly, "Did the woman you were having an affair with think that by taking my mother's place, everything would be smooth sailing and all would be well? Did she really think she could hide her true identity from everyone?"
"She's such a whim! We've basically locked down her true identity. I suspect she must be someone with an extremely awkward identity, with a hidden secret. That's why she was forced to resort to such despicable means to have an affair with you, and even gave birth to those three bastards of unknown origin..."
"If my guess is correct, that woman must be a woman of very high status..."
Upon hearing this, King Zhao's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils filled with a mixture of shock and fear, as if he was instantly frozen by an invisible chill.
Everyone present was an outstanding person, and each of them was extremely intelligent.
The subtle emotional fluctuations on King Zhao's face were instantly caught by everyone, and they understood that Huo Qing's guesses were correct.
In the following time, no matter how he was interrogated, King Zhao pretended to be dead and refused to speak or open his eyes.
Seeing that they couldn't pry open his mouth, Huo Yuchen and his companions had to stop temporarily.
It seems that this old man is really difficult to deal with! His mouth is as tight as a river clam.
However, he will always have a weakness. As long as you grasp his weakness, there is no need to worry that he will surrender.
