Chapter 567 The Emperor also fell
Qin Zhao thought this was the reason. Since the Queen Mother was not feeling well, perhaps lying down for a while would relieve her discomfort.
At that moment, she also stepped forward to help, not forgetting to ask: "Where is your queen feeling unwell?"
"I can't tell. I'm just very sleepy and tired, and can't open my eyes." The Queen Mother forced herself to cheer up, but she yawned again and again.
There was a sudden pain in my heart just now, but it got better in an instant. Now I am just extremely sleepy and want to go to bed early.
Qin Zhao subconsciously looked at the hourglass. It was still an hour away from Haishi, so it wouldn't be a big deal to let the Queen Mother sleep for a while, right?
She carefully recalled what Xiao Ce said.
Xiao Ce in his previous life said that the Queen Mother died at Haishi that night, and she died of poisoning.
Is this the time when the Queen Mother becomes poisonous?
Or maybe it was Haishi when the Queen Mother was found to be breathless?
She felt that this possibility was possible, and her heart sank.
In her previous life, she heard Xiao Ce say that the Queen Mother's death was tonight. She was frightened and came back immediately without having time to ask for more details. No matter what, she could not be careless and had to imagine every possibility.
At this time, Xiao Ce entered. Qin Zhao hurriedly pulled Xiao Ce and said, "Your Highness, please have a chat with the empress."
Let's delay for a while and wait until Luo Qing enters the palace to check the Queen Mother's pulse.
Xiao Ce received Qin Zhao's expectant gaze and immediately understood that Qin Zhao was asking him to delay for a while.
"Otherwise, my grandson will play against the imperial grandmother." Xiao Ce quickly thought of a good idea.
Even if the shadow guard takes Luo Qing into the palace, it will take time. Playing chess takes time, and this method is the best.
He vaguely felt that Qin Zhao knew something, which might be related to the health of the emperor's grandmother, otherwise he would not have allowed Luo Qing, who was highly skilled in medicine, to enter the palace.
"Okay, okay, the Queen Mother's chess skills must be better than your Highness's. I bet the Queen Mother will win." Qin Zhao hurriedly agreed.
The Queen Mother's eyelids were fighting, and she originally just wanted to sleep, but seeing Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce's high spirits, she couldn't bear to spoil their interest, so she echoed: "A Ce hasn't played chess with the Ai family for a long time. Since he is interested, the Ai family
Let’s play a game with Ah Ce.”
Qin Zhao immediately agreed: "I will also place a bet later."
When the chess game officially started, Qin Zhao sat in the middle as a matter of course. Looking at her sitting posture, people thought she was a neutral person.
Two quarters of an hour later, when the Queen Mother was about to take the throne, Qin Zhao coughed twice.
The Queen Mother looked at Qin Zhao, who blinked and said, "My throat is a little itchy. Madam, please continue and don't be disturbed by me."
Is there anything else that the Queen Mother doesn’t understand?
The move she made just now was wrong. She took a closer look at the chess board and soon realized that Qin Zhao was right. She immediately changed her direction.
Xiao Ce also intended to give in and deliberately delayed the time. Even if Qin Zhao didn't give him a hint, he didn't intend to win this game.
There was a stalemate on the chess board for a while, but the Queen Mother's spirit became worse and worse.
Qin Zhao saw this and was secretly frightened.
She suddenly felt that it was the latter possibility. In her previous life, she discovered that the Queen Mother died at Haishi, and the Queen Mother died earlier than Haishi. The place where the Queen Mother died should be on her couch.
Time passed bit by bit, and she suddenly did not dare to waste any more time. Instead of continuing to wait like this, it was better to find other doctors to treat the Queen Mother, and maybe there would be hope.
Just when she was anxious, Bao Zhu led Luo Qing in hastily, but the Queen Mother here was in a trance and was about to fall over.
Qin Zhao had been paying attention to the Queen Mother's movements. When the Queen Mother fell down, she knew how to help her.
"Miss Luo, check the Queen Mother's pulse quickly!" Qin Zhao shouted loudly.
Luo Qing reacted quickly. She quickly walked to the Queen Mother and took her pulse. The moment she caught the Queen Mother's pulse, her face darkened. She immediately took out the golden needle and applied acupuncture to several key points on the Queen Mother's head and neck.
The Queen Mother's consciousness was already chaotic, but after these few needles were inserted, the Queen Mother woke up instantly.
She was a little confused and couldn't remember where she was.
"What happened to the Ai family?" The Queen Mother's voice was barely audible.
"The Queen Mother has been poisoned. This poison will make the poisoned person depressed and sleepy. If the poisoned person falls asleep, he will never wake up from his sleep." Luo Qing's words were concise and to the point.
If she had come a little later, the Empress Dowager would have died in her sleep, just a little bit.
The Queen Mother broke into a cold sweat when she heard this, and Qin Zhao's hands and feet were also cold. Fortunately, she asked Xiao Ce to delay, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Because this poison can exert its greatest power when a person is asleep, as long as the patient is conscious, there is nothing to fear from this poison, and Luo Qing is given time to detoxify.
Luo Qing worked for an hour before finally removing all the toxins from the Queen Mother's body.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Qin Zhao's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
But this matter is not over yet.
Today is Wanshou Festival. As the birthday girl, the Queen Mother suffered a fatal disaster, which not only shocked the emperor, but also everyone in the harem.
For a moment, everyone in Cihe Palace was on their backs, and people in every palace in the harem were also in panic.
The emperor was even more furious at Long Yan and immediately ordered everyone present at the time to return to Cihe Palace. These were all relatives of the emperor.
Luo Qing said that the time when the Queen Mother was poisoned was close to the evening, and those people were present at that time.
Everyone who has been close to the Queen Mother is suspected, but only for a short while. It is not easy to find out the real culprit.
Because Qin Zhao arrived too late and there were many people involved, Xiao Ce simply asked her to go back to Wangyueju first.
Qin Zhao knew that Xiao Ce was doing it for her own good.
This time the Queen Mother was poisoned on Wanshou Festival. If word spread about this, wouldn’t it make the world laugh?
The emperor was furious and ordered everyone present to kneel down in Cihe Palace as a punishment.
When Qin Zhao returned to Wangyueju, Xiao Ce was still in charge of the overall situation at Cihe Palace.
She was in shock, and it wasn't long before she heard about the emperor's fainting.
"Today was a great day, but it turned into chaos because of the Queen Mother's poisoning." Qin Zhao was also exhausted.
Previously, she had been holding on tightly because she was afraid that something might happen to the Queen Mother. Now that she relaxed, she realized how scared she was.
She was most afraid that even though she knew the plot, she still couldn't change the occurrence of some tragedies. This time it proved one thing, as long as the outcome was not determined yet, as long as she worked hard, she would definitely gain something.
Qin Zhao didn't have dinner before, unlike eating and drinking all the time in Cihe Palace. She felt relieved now and was very hungry.
She was eating when Baoyu hurried in and said to her: "The emperor suddenly fainted, and a whole room of people in Cihe Palace knelt down."
"Where is His Majesty the Crown Prince?" Qin Zhao asked hurriedly.
Although she knew Xiao Ce's abilities, she was still afraid that Xiao Ce would be too busy when such a big event happened.
The Queen Mother is out of danger here, and the Emperor has fallen again. What does this mean?
