Chapter 4
But Huo Jiuge didn't take the credit for herself. She knew very well that it was the first shot that killed the first bird. When faced with the imperial doctor's praise, she just said that God had favored the empress because of her profound blessings, and that she had just hit it by mistake. .

Accidental collision?Imperial Physician Qi is a master in medical skills. Even he knows very little about the poison of Wolfsbane Grass, but Huo Jiuge can talk about it. I am afraid that no one in the capital can detoxify this poison at present.

This also became Xiao Chengji's sharp sword to attack her. He insisted that it was Huo Jiuge who poisoned her, and the antidote must be in her body now.

He threatened Huo Jiuge to hand over the antidote, otherwise he would have the entire Rongguo Palace buried with her.

Perhaps because he was worried about the Queen's injury, he began to speak incoherently, causing people on the side to frown frequently.

Now let alone the emperor, even the maids and eunuchs on the side felt that he had gone too far, and they all felt unworthy of Huo Jiuge.

Why did you enter into an engagement with such a person?Even before marrying into the palace, she was already being made things difficult and looked down upon, let alone after marrying him.

Seeing his persistence, Huo Jiuge had no choice but to ask the imperial doctor to check the medicine she had boiled, and promised that if it was really her own medicine that caused the queen's poisoning, then she would sacrifice her life to treat the queen, and one life would be exchanged for one. Life!
She had already done this, but Xiao Chengji still didn't let her go, saying bluntly that she was just stalling for time because of her sharp tongue.

"If the Third Prince had spent a night in the prison, he would have understood how I feel now. Jiu Ge just wants to clear his name and does not mean to delay as you said."

"Are you trying to stop me like this because you are afraid that the truth that will eventually be discovered will be detrimental to you?" After Huo Jiuge finished speaking, he looked straight at him. His eyes lost the admiration and shyness of the past, replaced by sharpness and enthusiasm. Examine.

Xiao Chengji's heart sank, but before he could make any response, the emperor had already ordered the imperial physician to check.

There is a rule in the royal family that all food and clothing expenses must be backed up, in order to prevent someone from deliberately murdering someone.

After a while, the imperial doctor came over with the final results.

"Back to the Emperor, the Queen Mother is taking some medicinal foods that can replenish qi and blood, and there are no harmful things like wolfsbane grass in them." Doctor Qi cupped his hands and reported back.

"This is impossible!" Xiao Chengji shouted: "You wrote the prescription, you took the medicine, and you even prepared the medicine yourself. How could this matter have nothing to do with you?"

The original owner did know some medical skills. When she learned that the queen was troubled by nightmares every day, she volunteered to treat the queen.

Originally, he wanted to get closer to the queen, but unexpectedly, he was tricked like this.

Xiao Chengji was right. From the prescription to the brewing of the medicine, it was all done by the original owner. There was no second person involved at all. If someone was really poisoning, then it must have been on the way to deliver the medicine.

Seeing that Huo Jiuge stopped talking, Xiao Chengji thought that she had confessed, so he hurriedly asked the emperor to convict her.

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Jiuge interrupted him, "Although I supervised everything from the prescription to the preparation of the medicine, after the medicine was prepared, it was not given to the queen."

After listening to her words, the emperor found a palace maid and asked, "Who brought the medicine to the queen?"

The palace maid replied respectfully: "It's Grandma Zhou."

"Where is she now?" the emperor asked again.

"This" At this time, a look of embarrassment flashed across the palace maid's face, which happened to fall into Huo Jiuge's eyes. She quickly stood up and said, "Back to the emperor, it was Aunt Zhou who told me that the Queen is critically ill. Now She should still be in prison."

The emperor immediately sent someone to summon Nanny Zhou to come over for questioning.

After waiting for a long time, everyone was informed that Grandma Zhou had died in the imperial prison.

The only clue was interrupted, Huo Jiuge suddenly became the target of public criticism, and even the emperor had to wonder whether this matter was really related to her.

"You are a vicious woman. You not only poisoned my mother and killed me, but you even killed Aunt Zhou to silence her. How could there be such a vicious person like you in this world! I ask my father to punish this person severely and bring justice to this world." It was indeed cruel to treat her, but who let her stand in his own way? Xiao Chengji was taught from a young age that he was the Nine-Five Supreme, and the others were just a group of ants. Since such ants dared to offend their authority, they would naturally pay the price. cost!
The emperor frowned. Although he thought that Huo Jiuge was the daughter of the hero, her crime was too serious, and all signs indicated that she was the murderer.

"What else do you have to say?" The emperor's voice was low and could not be violated.

The situation seemed to be a foregone conclusion, and everyone believed that Huo Jiuge was the one who poisoned the house.

But Huo Jiuge was neither humble nor arrogant. Her back was still straight, like pine and cypress in the cold winter. No matter how the wind and frost suppressed her, she still maintained her character.

"I did not inject the poison, and Grandma Zhou's death had nothing to do with me!" Huo Jiuge always insisted that he was innocent.

Although Nanny Zhou's injuries were caused by her, as a doctor, she could guarantee that those injuries were not enough to kill someone, not to mention that she had treated her wounds. The only explanation was that the mastermind behind the murder was to silence her. Then they framed it all on her.

Seeing Huo Jiuge's harsh words, the emperor also became angry and directly picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at her.

"Presumptuous!" After an angry roar, Huo Jiuge had tea poured on his face.

The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.Everyone present knelt down and begged the emperor to calm down. Even Xiao Chengji knelt down and begged the emperor not to hurt himself because of her.

At this time, Huo Jiuge kowtowed heavily to the emperor, but what he said was that he wanted the emperor to uphold justice and restore his innocence.

The emperor's emotions, which were finally calmed down, were completely ignited by her move, and he directly ordered someone to pull her down.

Just as the guards were about to step forward, a clear female voice interrupted them.

The person who came was none other than the Queen's archrival, Concubine Xiao Shu.

Everyone turned around, and a beauty with slim shoulders and a long figure stepped out. She had beautiful eyes and eyebrows, and she was looking forward to the sky. She was dressed in a gorgeous winter dress. The skirt was embroidered with brilliant begonia flowers, and she had a bunch of them around her waist. , it became more apparent that her figure was as slender as a willow tree, and she had the timid posture of a flying swallow approaching the wind.

As expected of Concubine Xiao Shu who dotes on the Sixth Palace, she looks really beautiful.

When the emperor saw her coming, his expression softened slightly and asked, "Why are you here?"

Concubine Xiao Shu first saluted the emperor, and then answered his question, "First of all, I learned that the queen was seriously ill, so I came here to take care of her; secondly, I have something important to tell you."

"What's the matter?" the emperor asked.

Now everyone's attention has turned to Concubine Xiao Shu, and they all want to know what the big deal she said is.

After hearing what the emperor said, Concubine Xiao Shu turned around and said to the people outside the door: "Bring them here."

Immediately afterwards, a palace maid was brought over. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old and had a delicate appearance.

It's possible that she had never seen such a big scene before, and she was in a state of high nervousness.

His eyes didn't even know where to look, so he could only keep staring at the ground to hide his panic.

"Tell the emperor what you said to me again. Don't hide anything."

Concubine Xiao Shu looked at the people on the ground and ordered.
