Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 237 Doubt

Faced with Lu Zhaoyi's request, the queen would naturally not refuse, but it was nothing more than to take a look at the queen mother.

With the Queen's permission, Lu Zhaoyi entered the inner room. She looked at the bed and saw the sleeping Queen Mother.

A chill flashed in her eyes, Lu Zhaoyi walked towards the bed, her eyes shifted from the Queen Mother to the Buddhist scriptures placed beside her.

Those Buddhist scriptures were all copied by her, and the ink used to copy the Buddhist scriptures was stained with something.

Stretching out her hand, Lu Zhaoyi took the few Buddhist scriptures in her hand, and she planned to burn them all.

The queen entered the inner room, seeing Lu Zhaoyi's actions, she couldn't help being a little puzzled.

"These Buddhist scriptures were all copied for the Empress Dowager. Now that the Empress Dowager is ill, I am thinking that I should offer these Buddhist scriptures in the temple or in front of the Bodhisattva to pray for the Empress Dowager."

Turning around, Lu Zhaoyi saw the queen, seeing her eyes on the Buddhist scriptures in her hand, she smiled and explained to the queen.

"So that's the case, Lu Zhaoyi has a heart." Said so, but the queen was very puzzled in her heart.

"I'm afraid that the queen mother won't be able to wake up in a while, so I will send the Buddhist scriptures to the Lotus Hall and pray for the queen mother by the way."

The Lotus Hall is the place where priests pray for blessings in the palace. After hearing Lu Zhaoyi's words, the queen nodded.

Seeing Lu Zhaoyi leave, the queen turned her attention to the queen mother, she felt that someone should investigate Lu Zhaoyi.

With the Buddhist scriptures, Lu Zhaoyi left Shoukang Palace. Instead of going directly to the Lotus Hall, she went back to the Yongchun Palace first, and then went to the Lotus Hall with the Buddhist scriptures.

Those Buddhist scriptures were enshrined by her in the Lotus Hall. She knelt on the futon, chanting words, whether it was for the Queen Mother or something else.

In the Shoukang Palace, Zhishu finished the medicine and went back to the inner room of the main hall. She helped the Queen and gave the Queen Mother the medicine.

"Zhishu, leave Shoukang Palace in a while and check Lu Zhaoyi, especially the Buddhist scriptures enshrined in Lotus Hall today."

Regarding Lu Zhaoyi, the queen became suspicious. She would not come sooner or later, but she came at this time and took away the Buddhist scriptures. She had to think more about it.

After receiving the order, Zhishu went down with the empty medicine bowl, and she left Shoukang Palace to investigate the queen's order.

When Zhishu left, the queen looked at the queen mother, and looked at her appearance, it seemed that she would not wake up for a while.

She still had a lot of things to do, so she simply ordered the palace servants and asked Zhihua to keep an eye on her, then she left Shoukang Palace and headed back to Fengyang Palace.

…………

When Zhishu arrived at Lianhua Hall, Lu Zhaoyi had already left. She pondered for a while, took one of the Buddhist scriptures away, went to the imperial hospital to find an imperial doctor, and checked the Buddhist scriptures.

After being checked by the imperial physician, it was determined that there was nothing wrong with the Buddhist scriptures, so Zhishu sent the Buddhist scriptures back to Lianhua Hall and Fengyang Palace.

After hearing Zhishu's reply, the Queen nodded. She suspected that the Queen Mother's poison had something to do with Lu Zhaoyi, but now that Zhishu said that there is no problem with the Buddhist scriptures, her doubts faded away.

What the queen didn't know was that the Buddhist scriptures in the Lianhua Hall were not the Buddhist scriptures Lu Zhaoyi had taken from the Shoukang Palace before.

Today, what is enshrined in the Lotus Hall is re-copied by Lu Zhaoyi when he has nothing to do.

As for the Buddhist scriptures that she took from Shoukang Palace, she was using fire to burn them one by one.

That was evidence of poisoning the Queen Mother, so she naturally wouldn't keep it as a handle.

In fact, with just a few Buddhist scriptures, Lu Zhaoyi could not be convicted, because she did not put all the poison on the Buddhist scriptures.

In addition to the Buddhist scriptures, there was also a problem with the screen she gave to the Queen Mother before, but the problem with that is not a big problem, and it doesn't matter if it is found out.

On the surface, the Buddhist scriptures placed by the bed seemed to calm the Empress Dowager's mood a lot, but in fact, they were reminders for each book.

As the poison became deeper and deeper, the queen mother's temper would gradually become uncontrollable. The more angry she was, the faster the poison would attack and the deeper it would take root.

In the end, the poison penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and even Da Luo Jinxian couldn't save the Queen Mother.

In the brocade box that the Empress Dowager gave Lu Zhaoyi back then, there were several kinds of poisons. Lu Zhaoyi had carefully studied each of them, and the one she used for the Empress Dowager was the most insidious one among them.

People who are poisoned by this poison will gradually lose their five senses, first sight, then hearing, smell, taste and touch, and finally, she will be paralyzed on the bed, unable to move at all, but during this period, her whole body is still alive of.

This is a very painful poison. The reason for choosing this is because Lu Zhaoyi resents the Queen Mother. If it weren't for her, Jin'er would not have died.

Seeing the Buddhist scriptures being burned little by little, Lu Zhaoyi's eyes showed a gleam of pleasure. She just wanted to watch the Queen Mother lose her five senses little by little, and finally live in pain. She would never let her die easily!

…………

The news of the Queen Mother fainting again spread to Roufu Palace. Although Concubine Chu was worried, she couldn't leave at all.

No matter it was Zizhu or Zixiao, the faces of both of them were not good-looking. Earlier, Zizhu thought of a way to send someone outside the palace to send a letter to the Chu family, but until now, there has been no response.

Zizhu had a premonition that her master's uneasiness might really come true, the Sixth Prince had failed, and the Chu family... would be destroyed.

With such a thought, Zi Zhu dared not tell Concubine Chu Gui, now that Concubine Chu was at a loss as to what to do, if she knew that there was no news from the Chu family, she would be even more flustered.

All that can be done now is to wait, to wait for the return of the truly victorious person.

…………

The letter sent by the queen's dark guard finally reached the emperor, because it was sent by the dark guard, so the speed was much faster.

Opening the letter, Emperor Chen read it again, and frowned. He didn't expect that the queen mother was poisoned.

After careful consideration, Emperor Chen reckoned that it should be Lu Zhaoyi's hands.

He already knew before that Lu Zhaoyi knew everything, and it was expected that she would take revenge.

"Go back and tell the empress to let the imperial physician try her best to treat her." Anyway, it is the empress dowager, if she doesn't ask, it will be easy to be criticized.

After receiving the order, the dark guard saluted and returned to the capital.

Emperor Chen stretched out his hand, signaling the team to stop for now, got off the horse, and he came to Xuanyuanqi's side.

"A letter came from the palace just now, the Queen Mother seems to have been poisoned." Opening his mouth slowly, Emperor Chen looked at Xuanyuan Qi.

Hearing Emperor Chen's voice, Xuanyuanqi raised his head and looked at Emperor Chen viciously, as if he wanted to swallow him alive. As for what Emperor Chen said, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Seeing Xuanyuan Qi like this, Emperor Chen sighed in his heart, this is the biological son that the Empress Dowager protected in every possible way, knowing that his mother was poisoned, he didn't respond at all.

If the Queen Mother knew that he was like this, how would she react?
