Chapter 81 He watched his wife become the emperor's concubine
Xiao Lingzhao clenched his fingers tightly that were hanging at his sides.
He stared at the unconscious Xie Junlin with complicated eyes, then looked at the sad and painful Concubine Jiang and Queen Wei, and finally lowered his head to look at the scene of Doctor Ge washing the handkerchief in the basin.
The blood in the basin reflected his dark eyes, and also clearly illuminated the struggle in his eyes.
After a long time, he moved his fingers with difficulty, slowly turned around and walked towards the door of the room step by step.
The night wind squeezed in through the crack in the door, and the candlelight on the high platform flickered and swayed with the night wind.
He looked at the dim candlelight, and in a trance, he seemed to see his Yuan Wei smiling at him in the candlelight, a smile so sweet and gentle.
He seemed to hear Yuan Wei saying to him in a voice sweeter than honey, Xiao Lingzhao, I only want to be your wife, I only want to give birth to children for you...
Xiao Lingzhao suddenly stopped and clenched his fists.
No.
no.
Why did he come here to find Yuan Wei?
The emperor's biological mother is here, the emperor's first wife is here, and all the concubines the emperor once favored are here. So many people can't wake the emperor up. Is his Yuan Wei more important than the emperor's biological mother and first wife?
Family affection cannot wake up the emperor, and the imperial doctors' incompetence cannot wake him up either, so let's find someone more capable, and it shouldn't be Xiao Lingzhao's wife!
Xiao Lingzhao suddenly turned around and looked at Xie Junlin lying on the bed.
He cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, since the imperial doctors can't help, then we should find the genius doctor who is much better than them. I suggest that we let Song Suihuan give it a try."
Queen Mother Jiang suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Lingzhao.
She slapped the small coffee table and said angrily, "Xiao Lingzhao, what are you thinking? Are you afraid that the emperor can't die, and you want Song Suihuan to come and kill him again? You know that the emperor was poisoned and unconscious because he took the pills Song Suihuan offered, but you still let Song Suihuan come. I tell you, she will not save the emperor, she will only make the emperor die faster!"
Xiao Lingzhao knelt down immediately.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
He looked up at Queen Mother Jiang.
"Your Majesty, just now I led people to arrest the Song family. Song Suihuan's mother has already confessed that she was the one who poisoned them. Song Suihuan was not aware of this. She even broke up with her mother because of this. She cried and begged me to plead with the Empress Dowager and the Queen on her behalf, and give her a chance to redeem herself and make meritorious contributions."
Queen Mother Jiang didn't believe Song Suihuan at all.
She waved her sleeves angrily.
"Song Suihuan's mother confessed? I think she loves her daughter so much that she wants to take the blame for her daughter's crime!"
"She must have thought that as long as she took the blame for Song Suihuan, Song Suihuan would be acquitted. In this way, the Song family would get revenge and Song Suihuan would be safe. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"
At this point, Queen Mother Jiang said angrily, "They are dreaming!"
"Back then, Song Suihuan's father killed hundreds of innocent people and cut off their heads to pretend to be bandits, deceiving the emperor and then letting the real bandits go and flee to new cities, causing hundreds of casualties. His crime is unforgivable! The emperor only killed the men of the Song family and didn't let the women be beheaded as a public display. He was already extremely merciful to them!"
"Now they don't even know how to repent, and they dare to poison the emperor, and they even want to take the blame and get away with it. Ha, you let them wait. If the emperor can wake up, it's fine. If the emperor can't wake up, I will exterminate their three clans, leaving no one alive!"
Xiao Lingzhao looked up at the furious Queen Mother Jiang.
He could understand the Queen Mother's anger.
If one day he had a son and someone killed his son, he would cut his enemy into pieces, and he also wanted to kill all of his enemy's loved ones without sparing a single one.
But now it is the emperor who needs Song Suihuan to save his life, right?
He advised again.
"Empress Dowager, Song Suihuan's mother definitely did not take the blame for Song Suihuan. She is not a loving mother who can take the blame for her daughter. Song Suihuan is the poor person who was implicated by her crazy and heartless mother."
"Your Majesty, think about it. This is not the first time that Song Suihuan has offered medicine to the emperor. If she really wanted to poison the emperor, she could have tampered with the prescription when she was nursing the emperor several times before, and killed the emperor without anyone noticing. But she didn't do that, right?"
"She has been doing her best to treat Prince Rui these days. She is trying to find a way to cure the emperor's illness. She only wants to get the reward promised by the emperor and bring glory to the Song family. How could she poison the emperor?"
Queen Mother Jiang glared at Xiao Lingzhao coldly.
She said, "Song Suihuan didn't dare to take action a few times before because she knew that the emperor didn't trust her and would ask someone to test the poison! She lay dormant before to gain the emperor's trust! It was precisely because she didn't take action a few times before that the emperor trusted her tonight and didn't ask anyone to test the poison, allowing her to succeed in poisoning!"
Xiao Lingzhao opened his mouth.
Queen Mother Jiang spoke before Xiao Lingzhao.
"Don't beg for Song Suihuan here. Have you forgotten that she wanted to force your father to death two days ago? Oh, you said she wouldn't poison the emperor, but she clearly still remembers the hatred of the Song family more than ten years ago. She still wants your father to die. How could she not hate the emperor?"
Xiao Lingzhao couldn't deny it.
Song Suihuan must have hated the emperor in his heart.
He said, "I am not begging for Song Suihuan. I am trying to save the emperor. The emperor is unconscious and the doctors are helpless. The Empress Dowager and the Empress are also unable to wake him up. If this continues, the emperor will be in danger. I am just thinking that since the emperor's condition is already like this, why not let Song Suihuan try? Maybe there will be a turnaround."
Queen Mother Jiang did not accept it.
She looked down at her son and said softly, "No need to look for Song Suihuan, my son will definitely wake up. Didn't the imperial physician say that if he can wake up before dawn, he'll be fine. It's just night now, and there are still more than four hours before dawn. He will definitely wake up."
Xiao Lingzhao was unable to persuade Queen Mother Jiang, so he shut his mouth and stopped trying to persuade her.
She is the emperor's biological mother and she is not in a hurry, so why should he say more?
If he continued to risk his life to persuade her, it would seem that he was really pleading for Song Suihuan.
When Empress Dowager Jiang saw Xiao Lingzhao still kneeling, she motioned for him to stand up.
Suddenly, Queen Mother Jiang thought of something and her eyes lit up.
"etc!"
"I have seen more than one miraculous doctor, Song Suihuan!"
Queen Mother Jiang stood up suddenly, her fingers trembling with excitement.
"My dear Xiao, your illness was cured by your wife. You are here to recommend Song Suihuan to me. How could you forget that your own wife is also a miracle doctor who is not inferior to Song Suihuan? I don't trust Song Suihuan who has a grudge against the emperor, but I absolutely trust people from your family!"
Xiao Lingzhao suddenly looked at Queen Mother Jiang.
His heart sank.
Can't Yuan Wei escape anyway?
He said with difficulty, "Madam, Yuan Wei doesn't know any medical skills..."
Queen Mother Jiang didn't listen at all. She interrupted him and said happily, "It's already this time, don't hide it. Whether she knows medicine or not, you can ask her to come to the palace and let the emperor take a look and you will know!"
Without waiting for Xiao Lingzhao to speak, Queen Mother Jiang walked to the door and shouted, "Someone, come! Hurry up and go to the Xiao family to invite Madam Xiao to the palace to treat the emperor!"
Xiao Lingzhao said anxiously, "Empress Dowager——"
Queen Mother Jiang looked at him sideways and said in a deep voice, "Lord Xiao, you are so reluctant to hide your family's miracle doctor from the emperor. Don't you want the emperor to wake up?"
With such a huge burden on his head, how could Xiao Lingzhao dare to say anything?
He watched the Dragon Scale Guards leave quickly, and the light in his eyes dimmed little by little.
He didn't want Yuan Wei to enter the palace, but he still failed to hide Yuan Wei...
Half an hour later.
Shen Yuanwei, who had changed into new clothes, slowly walked into the bedroom.
Xiao Lingzhao stood beside the candlestick and slowly looked sideways.
He watched his beautiful wife walking towards the hall and passing by the kneeling concubines step by step. He had an illusion that his wife had become one with those concubines.
His wife will soon become the emperor's concubine.
