"The Queen Mother doesn't like too much noise, so we rarely talk." As soon as Qin Zhao finished speaking, he saw a crowd of people waiting to greet him.
Xiao Ce's expression became condensed when he saw everyone's disengaged appearance.
Qin Zhao saw it clearly and said softly: "Your Majesty, let's go in and pay our respects to the Queen Mother?"
She said, pulling Xiao Ce and heading towards the bedroom.
He followed Nianyun out to pick him up. After bowing, Nianyun said: "The Queen Mother hasn't gotten up yet."
Xiao Ce was surprised: "You haven't gotten up yet at this hour?"
In his impression, the Queen Mother had never been a lazy person, and she had never stayed up so late.
"Previously, when I came to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother also got up late." It was Qin Zhao who answered.
Xiao Ce looked at Nianyun and asked, "What exactly is going on?"
Nianyun knelt down in front of Xiao Ce: "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's like this. The Queen Mother has always gotten up very late in the past month, and my servants don't dare to stop the Queen Mother."
Xiao Ce frowned: "I'm waiting here."
He wanted to see when the Queen Mother would get up.
Seeing this, Qin Zhao sat down with Xiao Ce and waited for Queen Mother Guo to get up.
If it's like the day before yesterday, Queen Mother Guo may not get up so quickly and will have to wait for some time.
But this time, it was beyond her expectation. She and Xiao Ce waited until late in the afternoon when they saw Queen Mother Guo coming out of the bedroom.
The moment he saw Queen Mother Guo, all Xiao Ce's questions were stuck in his throat.
He never thought that the Queen Mother would have aged like this and lost a lot of weight after not seeing her for such a short period of time.
Even Qin Zhao was shocked when she saw it, because Queen Mother Guo looked a little older than what she saw the day before yesterday, and she seemed to be trembling slightly when walking.
She subconsciously looked at Xiao Ce and met Xiao Ce's shocked expression.
"Why is the emperor here?" Queen Mother Guo sat down with the help of Nianyun, her voice a little breathy.
"Mother..." Xiao Ce's voice faded away, and an indescribable feeling of shock lingered in his heart.
Queen Mother Guo hadn't heard Xiao Ce call her "Mother" for some days. While she was happy, she was also a little powerless: "The Emperor doesn't blame Aijia?"
Xiao Ce felt like he was stuck in his throat. It took him a while to regain his senses, looked at Nianyun and asked, "What's going on?!"
The Queen Mother became like this, but Nianyun never reported the matter to him. This was inappropriate.
"The Queen Mother has been falling asleep recently. I went to the Yangxin Hall to look for the Emperor, but I was unable to see the Emperor." Nianyun knelt on the ground and lowered his head.
Xiao Ce clenched his fists and looked ugly.
Seeing this, Qin Zhao said to Xiao Ce: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Luo Qing go into the palace to see the Queen Mother?"
It is no longer possible to rely on the imperial doctors from the imperial hospitals.
But she wasn't sure. It was too late to see Queen Mother Guo now.
She was sure that it was no accident that Queen Mother Guo became like this, but someone did it deliberately. The person who attacked Queen Mother Guo was Concubine Rong.
As for how Concubine Rong poisoned Queen Mother Guo, we need to ask Concubine Rong to find out.
"Zhang Jixiang, you leave the palace immediately and be sure to take Luo Qing into the palace." Xiao Ce made a quick decision and accepted Qin Zhao's suggestion.
Luo Qing outside the palace was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Jixiang.
When Zhang Jixiang explained the purpose of his visit, she fell silent: "I can't get away from here. There are many doctors with superb medical skills in the Imperial Hospital. You can ask them to treat the Queen Mother."
As early as the last time she saw Queen Mother Guo in Jinyang Palace, she could tell that something was wrong with Queen Mother Guo. Because Queen Mother Guo was an enemy of Qin Zhao, she did not expose this matter.
After all, she is not an honest doctor, and she has choices in her heart.
"I also ask Miss Luo to follow me into the palace. This is the emperor's oral order." Zhang Jixiang did not dare to delay and simply moved out of Xiao Ce.
Luo Qing frowned when he heard this.
Because it was an imperial edict, she could not refuse.
"Where is the imperial concubine?" she asked.
"The Imperial Concubine and the Emperor are both in Cihe Palace, but it was the Imperial Concubine who reminded the Emperor to ask me to leave the palace and invite Miss Luo into the palace to help the Queen Mother see a doctor." Zhang Jixiang responded hurriedly: "Time is urgent, please hurry up Miss Luo.
"
Luo Qing did not refuse this time.
Did Qin Zhao realize that something was wrong, so he asked her to come into the palace to help Queen Mother Guo see a doctor?
This shows that what Qin Zhao values is not the enemy Queen Mother Guo, but Xiao Ce.
She understands Qin Zhao's temper to some extent. Qin Zhao is by no means a soft-hearted person and will not show mercy easily when facing the enemy.
It was clear that Empress Dowager Guo was making things difficult for Qin Zhao, but Qin Zhao still let her come into the palace to help Empress Dowager Guo with her annual diagnosis at this critical moment. There was only one reason to explain this. Qin Zhao valued Xiao Ce.
After figuring this out, she no longer had any worries.
In Cihe Palace, Queen Mother Guo did not think she needed to see a doctor. She no longer had headaches recently, and except for some lethargy, everything else was fine.
She had a poor appetite during lunch and put down the bowl and chopsticks after eating a little.
When Xiao Ce saw this, he said in a deep voice: "Does the Queen usually eat so little?"
No wonder you are so thin. How can you not lose weight if you eat so little?
"The Ai family is full." Queen Mother Guo felt that this was nothing.
After lunch, she felt sleepy again and just wanted to go to bed early.
Xiao Ce wanted to say something else, but Qin Zhao said: "Since the Queen Mother is full, will the Emperor accompany the Queen Mother for a walk?"
Luo Qing will enter the palace soon, and the time is almost up.
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Luo Qing arrived.
She felt the pulse of Queen Mother Guo immediately, and because she knew what she was doing, she quickly diagnosed the result. The reason why Queen Mother Guo was so abnormal was because there were too many tonic drugs accumulated in her body, and these tonic substances were accumulated in her body for a long time.
, instead it turns into a highly toxic substance.
Queen Mother Guo has been deeply poisoned. The toxins have invaded her internal organs. It is very difficult to completely eradicate her!
Qin Zhao already knew the answer, so he was not surprised when he heard Luo Qing's diagnosis.
The real surprise was Queen Mother Guo herself.
She had been scheming in the harem all her life, and she never thought that she would be plotted against by others as she respected herself as the Queen Mother.
"Impossible!" It took her a while to find her voice.
Every few days, imperial doctors would diagnose her Ping'an pulse. If she was poisoned, how could those quack doctors not diagnose that she was poisoned?
Luo Qing did not answer and remained silent.
At this time, Xiao Ce also recovered from the shock.
He just suddenly remembered that the late emperor was also poisoned. He didn't expect that it would be Queen Mother Guo's turn now. He seemed to be used to such things, but he was still angry.
He glanced sharply at Nianyun: "You are my mother's personal attendant, but you didn't notice that my mother was poisoned?!"
Nianyun knelt on the ground, "This servant has neglected his duty, please punish me!"
At this time, Queen Mother Guo finally came to her senses, and she said helplessly: "If the doctors at the Imperial Hospital don't know that Ai's family is poisoned, and Nianyun doesn't know medical skills, how can they know that Ai's family is poisoned?"
There were so many doctors at Taiyuan Hospital, but they had no idea about her poisoning. Isn't it the doctor at Taiyuan Hospital who should be held accountable?
