228. Chapter 228 The Queen Mother is in a hurry to eat hot tofu
"Prince Xiao is here!" Suddenly, the eunuch singing harmony came from outside the palace.
Prince Xiao, why are you so fast?
The queen quickly stood up and handed the towel to the maid: "Hurry and tidy up my appearance. You guys can clean up the debris over there..."
After much trouble, the queen greeted her with the most appropriate appearance.
"My dear brother, I have met the Queen. She is a thousand years old." Murong Xitian saw that the Queen was the only one coming out of Fuxi Hall to welcome her. He furrowed his brows but did not change his expression.
"Why is Prince Xiao here? Where is your majesty?" The queen graciously accepted Murong Xitian's courtesy as a monarch and minister.
Murong Xitian glanced at the Queen calmly, and replied in a cold tone: "Your Majesty is not feeling well, so he is temporarily resting in the side hall of Zhengyang Palace. Your Majesty has been feeling unwell recently, so I stopped the eunuch who reported it, and we will wait and see."
We will make plans after the situation of the Queen Mother."
I see, His Majesty's condition has not been very good recently.
The Queen didn't think much about it: "The Queen Mother's condition is not very optimistic. Wang Yuyi has prescribed medicine, but it can only temporarily stabilize the toxicity in the Queen Mother's body. If you want to detoxify, you must have an antidote."
"What kind of poison?" Murong Xitian asked and walked inside.
The queen followed closely: "Seven days of heart-eating poison."
The left hand in the wide sleeve of Murong Xitian's court uniform was suddenly clenched into a fist, but his face was calm, showing the cold-blooded nature of Prince Xiao: "How can you be sure that it is the seven-day heart-devouring poison, and how can you be sure that the poison was inflicted by the princess?"
"It was the Royal Physician Wang who diagnosed the Queen Mother's condition after asking for her pulse. As for the poisoning, before the Princess arrived, the Queen Mother was rosy and showed no symptoms of poisoning. After the Princess arrived, she served tea to the Queen Mother with her own hands, and the Queen Mother drank the tea and was poisoned.
He was poisoned and is still unconscious." The queen's face changed slightly, she was stunned for a moment and immediately described what happened.
This statement can be said to be watertight, without adding any falsehoods or subtracting any details.
However, all the blame was pointed at Xia Ziluo.
After hearing this, Murong Xitian's eyes instantly darkened: "Confused!"
What?
The queen's steps paused, she felt inexplicably guilty, and her legs trembled slightly.
The next moment, she saw that Murong Xitian was already two or three steps behind her, so she hurriedly moved a few steps to catch up.
The two of them entered the Queen Mother's palace one after another. Murong Xitian took two quick steps and came to the bed and looked down at the Queen Mother's face.
By this time, he already knew it.
However, Murong Xitian was not at ease. In order to confirm his suspicion, he reached out and held the Queen Mother's wrist.
"Prince Xiao, what are you doing..." The queen saw this and wanted to stop him anxiously.
Suddenly, Murong Xitian raised his head and glanced at her coldly.
The queen immediately stopped talking and was too frightened to say a word. Not only that, large beads of sweat continued to appear on the queen's forehead.
After a moment, Murong Xitian put down the Queen Mother's wrist.
"My brother, I want to talk to the Queen Mother alone about something." In a cold tone, without saying a word, Murong Xitian had clearly stated what he meant.
The queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and retreated. Before leaving, she took all the maids and eunuchs out of the room and closed the door.
At this time, only Murong Xitian and the Queen Mother were left in the room.
Murong Xitian waited until he couldn't hear the footsteps and made sure that there were no shadow guards or eavesdroppers in or around the room, then he sat down by the bed.
He sighed and said, "Queen Mother, you shouldn't have made this move!"
