Chapter 168: Your Highness, please be gentle
Soon Baozhu summoned the imperial physician to examine Qin Zhao.
Facts have proved that Qin Zhao was indeed poisoned. This poison is not very powerful and cannot kill people, but taking too much can damage the internal organs.
Fortunately, the dose of medicine Qin Zhao took was not large, so there was no serious problem.
The news of Qin Zhao's poisoning soon spread in the East Palace.
When Zhang Jixiang learned about this incident, he did not want to tell Xiao Ce at all. But he also knew that it was related to Qin Zhao's life and could not be concealed under any circumstances, otherwise the prince would blame him and he would definitely be punished.
He deliberately sold it well and asked Nian Su to tell His Royal Highness the matter.
At that time, Xiao Ce was discussing matters in the council hall, still discussing the issue of floods in the south of the Yangtze River. Not only Wen Chong was there, but Zhao Yu was also there. They were having a heated discussion when Nian Su hurried in.
Xiao Ce knew that Nian Su was usually a steady person, and since Nian Su's injuries had not yet healed, so he suddenly hurried in, something big must have happened.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Ce asked in a deep voice.
Nian Su ignored the fact that there were other people present and reported truthfully: "I have received news that Qin Liangdi suddenly fainted in Wangchun Pavilion for unknown reasons. The imperial doctor is currently on his way to diagnose and treat Qin Liangdi."
As soon as Xiao Ce heard that Qin Zhao had fainted and could not sit still, he left the meeting hall without looking back.
Wen Chong was also worried about Qin Zhao's health after hearing this. He had not seen Qin Zhao since the last time Qin Zhao returned to the palace. Now, Qin Zhao is the concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince, and it is not his turn to care.
Zhao Yu's mood was much more complicated than Wen Chong's.
Originally, Qin Zhao was his unwanted concubine, but she went to the East Palace instead, and now she has become the concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince. Normally, it was okay for him not to hear news about Qin Zhao, but when he first heard that Qin Zhao was poisoned, His Highness the Crown Prince abandoned her.
It is completely unlike His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's temperament to leave on business just for the sake of a womanly family.
The woman who made His Royal Highness lose his temper was Qin Zhao, the woman who had no characteristics whatsoever and whom he abandoned like a pair of worn-out shoes.
Wen Chong stood stunned for a moment, but Luo Yan pulled his cuffs and signaled that Zhao Yu was still standing next to him, and he came back to his senses.
After Qin Zhao became the wife of His Royal Highness, Zhao Yu should be the one with the most complicated feelings, right?
As for him, he is just an outsider, so there is nothing to lament about...
When Xiao Ce hurried to Wangchun Pavilion that night, Qin Zhao had already woken up, and it was Imperial Physician Liang who treated Qin Zhao.
"What's going on?" Xiao Ce didn't look directly at Qin Zhao and asked Imperial Physician Liang instead.
Doctor Liang told the truth about the situation he found out.
Qin Zhao was indeed poisoned, and the poison was also found in the tea Qin Zhao used. The most important thing is that Ziyuan's hands were also stained with poison. This is enough to prove that the poison Qin Zhao was poisoned by was the master and servant of Wangchun Pavilion.
The next.
Ziyuan was so frightened that she crawled to Xiao Ce and cried out: "I'm wronged. I really didn't poison you. What's more, how could I be stupid enough to poison Mr. Wangchun? There must be some misunderstanding..."
Her mind was very confused and she couldn't figure out what was going on.
She brewed the tea herself, and she was 100% sure that she was not poisoned, but it was true that Qin Liangdi was poisoned. How could she clear up her grievances?
"I just want to know what kind of hatred Sister Wang has against me, and she doesn't hesitate to use this method to break her face?" Qin Zhao's eyes were fixed on Wang Liangyuan's face.
She wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, right? If she is bound to die in June because of Wang Liangyuan's plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife, then she will definitely pull Wang Liangyuan to support her.
Even if Wang Liangyuan doesn't die, she still has to make Wang Liangyuan pay the price.
Wang Liangyuan's face was as pale as snow.
She had now realized that it was clearly Qin Zhao who had poisoned himself, but he put the blame on her.
She thought she had a good relationship with Qin Zhao, and she even thought Qin Zhao had become an ally. So why would Qin Zhao suddenly use this trick to frame her?
Her eyes were red, and she knelt down in front of Xiao Ce: "I have been following His Highness for two years. From the first day I entered the East Palace, I have regarded Your Highness as my support staff. Sister Qin is also a woman I admire.
I have no intention of harming my sister. Something must have gone wrong in this matter. I dare to swear to God that I did not poison Sister Qin! Besides, I will not be stupid enough to attack Sister Qin on my own territory.
My sister poisoned me."
Xiao Ce felt that Wang Liangyuan's words made sense.
According to common sense, Wang Liangyuan had no reason to poison Qin Zhao, but it is an indisputable fact that Qin Zhao was poisoned in Wangchun Pavilion.
Before the truth is found out, Wang Liangyuan is the suspect.
"Gu only looks at the evidence. As for whether you have poisoned me or not, I don't have the final say." Xiao Ce ordered in a deep voice: "Come here and take everyone in Wangchun Pavilion for interrogation!"
This is what Qin Zhao wants.
Because she didn't know what would happen next, and she didn't know if she could avoid June's death. If she died in June, she would not be able to counterattack everything Wang Liangyuan planned behind her back.
Nowadays, although her method is old-fashioned, it is more effective. Even if she cannot nail Wang Liangyuan to death, she will make Wang Liangyuan peel off her skin. This is what will happen to Wang Liangyuan behind her back.
Before Wang Liangyuan was dragged down, she met Qin Zhao's cold eyes.
At this moment, she thought she was meeting the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince. Qin Zhao's look was exactly the same as when His Highness the Crown Prince looked at her, which made her heart tremble slightly.
After she dealt with Qin Zhao, she knew that Qin Zhao was not a fool, but she never expected that Qin Zhao would suddenly plot against her.
Is it possible that Qin Zhao has discovered what she was doing behind the scenes?
After Wang Liangyuan was taken down, all the servants serving in Wangchun Pavilion were also brought into the Criminal Division. After entering that place, it was natural to suffer some hardships.
After everyone in Wangchun Pavilion was taken away, Xiao Ce ordered in a deep voice: "Everyone, get back."
Nian Su glanced at the pale Qin Zhao, then at the expressionless Xiao Ce, and then retreated out one by one along with the others.
It wasn't until Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce were the only ones left in the hall that Xiao Ce went to Qin Zhao: "Didn't you say you would protect yourself?"
Qin Zhao rarely saw Xiao Ce. Seeing Xiao Ce's cold face, she whispered: "I'm fine, Your Highness, please don't be angry, okay?"
After meeting this time, I wonder if there will be a next time. Can't he just have a nice conversation?
Xiao Ce sighed softly: "It was Gu's fault in the beginning."
As the prince, he can't even protect her, so what's the use?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so wise and powerful, what's wrong with him?" Qin Zhao moved closer and took a closer look at Xiao Ce's face: "Your Highness has lost weight recently, but he is still as good-looking as before."
Xiao Ce saw that she was not in a formal position, so he lowered his face and said: "Don't act like a boneless person, sit still!"
Qin Zhao lazily leaned on the back of the chair and complained: "I am still a patient because the poison in my body has not been cleared away. Can't your Highness be a little gentler?"
