The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 400 Awakening of the Emperor Chu, the Night of the Palace Change (2)
In Qianqing Palace, the queen and princess began to have doubts about Zhang He...

But what they don't know is that at the same time, in the palace, a palace change is quietly going on.

In the Imperial Garden, two teams of Imperial Forest Army on duty met.

The two commanders exchanged friendly jaws and crossed with their own troops.

Suddenly, when the two teams were parallel, one pair of people pulled out their sabers and swung them at the other pair without hesitation.Caught off guard, there was almost no resistance, and the team died at the hands of their comrades, some even had no time to utter a tragic cry.

I'm afraid, they didn't even understand until their death why their comrades who lived with them day and night would suddenly pull out their sharp knives at them.

The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword passed by in an instant, and as the person fell to the ground, the Imperial Forest Army on the other side also under the command, retracted the saber and wiped off the blood on his face and armor.

Finishing everything in silence, regardless of the fact that these corpses were exposed in the imperial garden, the team regrouped and continued to patrol forward, as if nothing happened.

In the process of walking, the leader first took out a white brocade handkerchief from his arms and tied it on his left arm, and the rest followed suit, pulling out white brocade handkerchiefs and tying them on his left arm.

Along the way, whenever they saw the imperial forest army without brocade handkerchiefs, they easily killed each other according to the previous method.

This kind of situation happened in every corner of the palace that night.

In addition, a group of men in black like black smoke, like ghosts, appeared in every corner of the palace, secretly reaping their lives.

These killings happening in the dark are approaching the Qianqing Palace step by step.

Qianqing Palace
"Doctor Zhang, my palace and His Majesty have always trusted you, why are you unwilling to tell me the truth about such an important matter?"

Faced with Zhao Yahou's questioning, Zhang He remained surprisingly silent, which made Empress Qiao, who had completely trusted Zhang He's medical skills, also have doubts in her heart.

Queen Qiao has commanded the Six Palaces for many years and is the mother of a country, so her tone naturally has incomparable majesty.

Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Zhang He's mouth, and he raised his hand to wipe in front of his face, and then put down his hand, Zhang He's familiar face disappeared, and a strange face appeared.

This face is very ordinary, a little cold, but with a hint of arrogance.

"you!"

Queen Qiao's beautiful eyes shrank, and she suddenly became nervous.

"You're not Zhang He, who are you!" Zhao Yahou asked sharply while standing with her mother.

She didn't deliberately suppress her voice, but instead a little louder on purpose. She hoped to attract the guards outside the hall and tie up the strange man in front of her.

However, this fake Zhang He turned a blind eye to the nervousness of the mother and daughter.

Instead, he weighed the thin human skin mask in his hand, and said with a playful smile: "Really, I was recognized so quickly. Fortunately, I still pretended to be so lifelike, so I knocked both ends for nothing."

Listening to his sarcastic remarks, Empress Qiao's complexion changed, and her facial features became cold: "Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Zhang He? This is the deep palace in the palace. If you don't tell the truth, the palace can only call you the general of the Imperial Forest Army." Take it down."

Thinking that I was so excited just now, and asked this fake imperial doctor to administer medicine to His Majesty without thinking, Queen Qiao's back broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, there are no guards in the palace, and the maids in the palace are also frightened at this moment.

She couldn't guarantee whether this strange man who deliberately sneaked into the palace would suddenly explode and hurt innocent people, so she could only use words to calm down and delay time.

Fake Zhang He smiled slightly, put the human skin mask back into his arms, and said to Queen Qiao: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if you don't ask for it next week, you are ordered to save Your Majesty, and you have no bad intentions."

Zhao Yahou snorted coldly: "You use this method to infiltrate the court, and you still say you have no evil intentions? You said you were ordered, and in whose name?"

Zhou Buqiu glanced at Zhao Yalai, but he didn't care, instead he praised with admiration: "The eldest princess is really thoughtful and insightful."

After all, he looked at Queen Qiao, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Zhou Buqiu is in the name of King Xiaoyao, looking for an antidote for His Majesty. Now that the prince is restrained by the imperial edict, I can only venture into the palace first, Your Majesty. After preparing the antidote, he will detoxify His Majesty. Pretending to be Zhang He is also a helpless move. I thought it would save a lot of trouble, but I didn't want to be discovered in the end."

"You were sent by Hao'er? What evidence do you have? Where is Zhang He now?" Queen Qiao was shocked, but still asked the question out of her mouth.

Zhou Buqiu did not hesitate, he took out Zhao Shenghao's token from his bosom, threw it directly, and landed at Queen Qiao's feet.

"Nephew Zhang He is fine, but I have temporarily blocked the acupoints and locked him at home."

"Zhang He is your nephew?" This time, it was Zhao Yahou's turn to be surprised.

Zhou Buqiu smiled slightly: "It's inconvenient for me to explain the reason. If the empress and princess believe me, Zhou Buqiu will pledge his life to save the emperor. If not, I will just leave."

"Mr. Zhou is contemptuous." At this time, Empress Qiao had already bent down to pick up Zhao Shenghao's token, identifying the authenticity of the token.

After thinking quickly in his heart, he opened his mouth and said to Zhou Buqiu: "Since Hao'er recommended Mr. to treat His Majesty's illness, and Mr. Zhang is the elder of Imperial Physician Zhang, then this palace entrusts Mr. Majesty's safety."

"Mother's queen!" Zhao Yahou looked at her mother in surprise.

Queen Qiao stopped her next words with her eyes.

Zhou Buqiu saw everything in his eyes, and didn't say much, just smiled modestly at Queen Qiao: "Time doesn't wait for me, and I ask the empress to lead the way for me."

"Please sir." Queen Qiao came to her senses and led Zhou Buqiu into the inner hall.

Zhao Yahou took a step back, she mainly wanted to give a password to the servants and maids in the side hall.

When she had arranged everything and hurried back to the inner hall, she only saw Zhou Buqiu pricking her father with a few silver needles on the top of his head, and stuffing a black pill into his father's mouth.

And his mother and Tianxi stood nervously aside.

"Okay." Zhou Buqiu took back the silver needle and said lightly, "If it's time for a cup of tea, His Majesty will wake up for a while."

"Thank you sir." Upon hearing Zhou Buqiu's words, Queen Qiao thanked excitedly.

Zhao Yahou walked up to her mother, and looked at Zhou Buqiu warily: "Before my father wakes up, please ask Mr. Zhou to stay. If something happens, Mr. Zhou can handle it conveniently."

Zhou Buqiu could hear the meaning in her words, and he didn't get angry, just nodded indifferently.

"Your son." Queen Qiao glanced at the eldest princess angrily, then turned her eyes to look at Zhou Buqiu: "Your son has been spoiled since childhood, I hope Mr. Zhou will not take offense."
