Chapter 192: Killing a Son Fails to Kill a Mother(2/2)
Xiao Zhuo, who was anxious at first, glanced at Nanny Li and saw her nodding towards him affirmatively, and instantly understood all this. This was the Queen Mother's arrangement.
Yun Miaomiao stepped forward and walked over, "The Queen Mother's poisoning is not a trivial matter. Just a few days after she came back, someone boldly poisoned the Queen Mother. The person behind it is really vicious. Xiao Zhuo, you have to
Investigate carefully, catch the person behind it, and teach him a lesson before he wakes up."
Yun Miaomiao's words had already reached this point. Xiao Zhuo, no matter how stupid he was, could still hear it, "Cousin, don't worry, I know what to do."
Hearing the sound, Nanny Li looked up at Yun Miaomiao and saw a woman wearing a light yellow gauze dress standing next to Xiao Zhuo with a smile on her face.
This is probably the woman rumored to have made Gu Fengqing cancel Princess Jiayue's marriage.
Before Nanny Li could take another look, Xiao Zhuo called her into the palace together. Although this was a scene arranged by the Queen Mother, he still had to cooperate and finish it.
He understood that the Queen Mother was doing this for her own good, allowing him to win over more people and suppress the whole plan set by the imperial concubine, but he was still worried about the Queen Mother's safety.
Xiao Zhuo followed Nanny Li into the palace and all the way to the Queen Mother's bedroom. As soon as she entered, he saw the Queen Mother lying on the bed with a pale face and weak breath.
His heart tightened, and his eyes were filled with distress. He walked quickly to the Queen Mother and asked in a low voice: "Grandmother, what do you think?"
The Queen Mother nodded slightly and said in a weak voice, "Zhuo'er, you are here. Someone has poisoned the Ai family. The Ai family has only been back for a few days, and there are already people who don't like the Ai family. Zhuo'er, you can do it."
Investigate carefully and find out the evil-hearted people behind it. The Aijia will only believe you."
The emperor and the concubine hurried over. As soon as they reached the door, they heard the Queen Mother's words, and their faces instantly darkened.
What did the Queen Mother mean by this? Did she mean that they were trying to harm her?
The queen and Princess Jiayue also hurried over. As soon as they entered, they saw the imperial concubine supporting the emperor standing at the door. Thunderous voices could be heard from inside.
"Come here, go investigate immediately and bring all the people who may have come into contact with the Queen Mother's food to see me. From now on, no one can leave Shoukang Palace. Anyone who leaves without my order will be executed immediately."
Aunt Li withdrew in response, while Xiao Zhuo sat down in front of the Queen Mother and comforted her, "Grandmother, don't worry, your grandson will definitely find your murderer and bring that person to justice."
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, and her voice became weaker and weaker. The weak Xiao Zhuo almost thought that the person was gone. He stood up hurriedly and said, "Where is the imperial doctor? It has been so long and the imperial doctor has not come. Is it possible that you are not alive?"
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the palace and asked someone to find the imperial doctor. Unexpectedly, he saw his good father at the door.
"See you, father!" Xiao Zhuo paused and saluted the emperor. The emperor glanced at Xiao Zhuo and said, "You are so majestic now. I can't bear the thought of you calling me father."
Xiao Zhuo knew what he meant, but now he was too lazy to make superficial appearances with the emperor, "Father, the emperor's grandmother is now poisoned. If we don't call the imperial doctor, the emperor's grandmother will be in serious danger."
A coldness flashed in his eyes for a moment, "Is it possible that the father has failed to kill his son and now wants to kill his mother?"
"presumptuous!"
After the emperor's words fell, the air in the palace seemed to freeze instantly, and the emperor's face turned livid.
He glared at Xiao Zhuo, his eyes like torches, as if he was going to burn through him.
Everyone present stopped what they were doing, even breathing cautiously, for fear of being sucked into this silent storm.
Xiao Zhuo showed no fear on his face, and the coldness in his eyes was even worse, like a sharp sword piercing through the hypocrisy and conspiracy that the emperor worked hard to maintain.
His voice was calm and resolute, as if he was following his words, "Father, the life of the Emperor's grandmother is now at your disposal. You should also know what the consequences will be. If you feel that it is time to preach,
, then please forgive me, Father, I am afraid that I will be rude. If the Imperial Grandmother is in trouble because of this, I believe you know better than me what the consequences will be."
The air seemed to be frozen, time seemed to be stretched, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Zhuo and the emperor, and the tense atmosphere made it almost impossible to breathe.
Finally, the emperor took a deep breath, and the anger in his eyes gradually receded, replaced by a complex emotion.
He stared at Xiao Zhuo and shouted angrily at Eunuch Xu, "Is it possible that all the doctors at the Imperial Hospital are dead?"
Eunuch Xu immediately came to his senses and said, "I'll look for you now, I'll look for you now."
A smile flashed in the eyes of the imperial concubine. Now Xiao Zhuo completely broke up with the emperor. He had offended the emperor to death. From now on, what would Xiao Zhuo have to do with the position of prince.
She would also like to thank this old witch. If she hadn't been poisoned smoothly, how could she have seen such a wonderful scene.
