The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

Yes, as long as you get the antidote, everything will be solved. The Queen Mother immediately ordered someone to hurry up and tell Hua Zixu to enter the palace quickly.

Finally, Hua Zixu was carried on the shoulders of the imperial guards and rushed into the palace.

It seemed that Hua Zixu had been stunned. When the imperial guard put him down, his eyes were distracted.

The Queen Mother didn't care whether he was knocked unconscious or not. She pointed at the box of pills and asked sternly: "Is this box of medicines the life-sustaining pills you gave to the emperor?"

Hua Zixu pinched the acupuncture point on his elbow hard to wake himself up a little, and then stepped forward to check. He took out the pills one by one, raised them up to take a closer look, and said, "Your Majesty, this is not your life-sustaining pill."

Not a life-sustaining pill? The Queen Mother was stunned and looked at the Prince and Eunuch Wei.

The prince said: "When my father asked his son to get the medicine, he specifically said that this is the life-sustaining pill that Divine Doctor Hua presented to him."

Eunuch Wei also said: "The life-sustaining pills presented by Divine Doctor Hua have been kept in that cabinet. They were packed in that box. They cannot be fake."

Hua Zixu, however, kept shaking his head: "Your Majesty, the life-extending pills I presented to you have Chinese characters on the bottom, but this box of pills is smooth with no marks on them. They are definitely not my life-extending pills." .”

After he finished speaking, he took out a pill from his arms and handed it to the Queen Mother together with the other pill in the box.

The Queen Mother turned the two pills over and saw that one pill had a black dot on it, while the other pill had nothing on it. What does this black spot mean? What kind of "hua" is this?

Hua Zixu took out a magnifying glass from his sleeve and handed it to the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, you can see clearly with this."

Hua Zixu actually has a magnifying glass. Did he make it himself? Although this man's character is not very good, his medical skills are indeed very good. Ye Yuxiao looked at the magnifying glass and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Queen Mother took the magnifying glass and looked at the pills carefully. She saw that Hua Zixu's pill had the word "华" engraved on it, but there was nothing on the pill in the box.

The Queen Mother returned the magnifying glass and pills to Hua Zixu, and once again cast her doubtful eyes on the Prince.

The prince spread his hands and said: "Royal grandmother, my grandson knows nothing. My grandson only knows that my father told me personally that this box contains life-sustaining pills; and I gave this life-sustaining pill in front of my father." The pills were taken out and given to him.”

"So, the emperor didn't know that the life-sustaining pill had been switched?" the Queen Mother asked doubtfully.

The prince snorted and said: "Grandma Imperial Grandma, don't believe everything that Divine Doctor Hua says. He said this was not his life-extending pill. Who can prove it? Maybe the pill with the word 'Hua' engraved on it was his intention. Prepare it in advance to save yourself from sin."

The Queen Mother nodded slowly: "In your opinion, what should we do?"

The prince said: "Hua Zixu's residence should be searched immediately. If these poison pills are really from his hands, there will definitely be clues left."

"That makes sense." The Queen Mother raised her hand, "Someone, go and search Hua Zixu's residence, inside and out, for the Ai family."

Hua Zixu lived in more than one place. Ye Yuxiao wanted to mention it more, but suddenly saw Ouyang Sheng wink at her, so she didn't say anything.

Soon, the prince personally led the officers and soldiers out of the palace to search for Hua Zixu's residence.

Ye Yuxiao lied about going out to get some fresh air, and gathered with Ouyang Sheng in front of the garden in the courtyard.

"Why did you wink at me just now?" Ye Yuxiao asked in a lowered voice.

"This looks like a drama made up by someone. Why should we get involved and just wait and see what happens." Ouyang Sheng whispered, holding her hand and squeezing it.

"Someone wants to rectify Hua Zixu?" Ye Yuxiao asked.

"Obviously," Ouyang Sheng said.

"I also think someone has set up a trap, waiting for him to take advantage of him. He is now a big tree, and there are many people who want to harm him, but the key is..." Ye Yuxiao said, frowning slightly, "What do I think? Why do you think this trap was set up by the prince? This is wrong... The prince was just using him, how could he set up a trap for him? "

"Then who knows." Ouyang Sheng said, "No matter who sets up the trap, it has nothing to do with us. We only need to do two things."

"Two things?" Ye Yuxiao asked curiously, "I know the first thing is to go all out to save the emperor's life, but what is the second thing?"

"Of course, we saved Hua Zixu's life when his head was in danger." Ouyang Sheng said, lowering his voice even more, "Although Hua Zixu will have to be eliminated sooner or later, it is definitely not now. We must ensure that the Emperor lives his long life. Before it runs out, he lives well and makes life-sustaining pills for the emperor."

Ye Yuxiao couldn't help but sigh: "I know you are right, but I feel so anxious in my heart. I haven't settled Dong Yi's debt with him yet, but now I want to protect him."

"Ten years are not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." Ouyang Sheng held her hand and comforted her, "Be patient for now. At least the prince is more hateful than him. The person who really took Dong Yi's life was the prince, not Hua Zixu. , he is just a thug at best."

"You are right, the real enemy is the prince, not Hua Zixu." Ye Yuxiao took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and re-entered the palace gate with him.

An hour later, the prince returned to the palace with a dozen black lacquer boxes. He opened the boxes one by one and showed them to the Queen Mother and everyone: "Emperor Grandma, my grandson found more than ten boxes of life-sustaining pills at Hua Zixu's residence. Each pill is exactly the same as the one taken by the emperor. The bottom It is unmarked and highly toxic.”

After he finished speaking, he took one out of the box and handed it to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother held it with a handkerchief and raised it to take a closer look. She saw that the whole pill was extremely smooth and had no marks. Even when looking at it with a magnifying glass, there was no engraved word "华".

The Queen Mother threw the pills at Hua Zixu's feet: "These were all found in your residence. How do you explain them?"

Hua Zixu said very calmly: "Queen Mother, it was because of the Xuanshengwan that I gained a firm foothold in Daxi and gained the emperor's favor. If I poisoned the emperor, wouldn't I be destroying my foundation? Unless I am stupid. , would you do such a thing?"

This makes sense. All the honors and favors he has now were given by the emperor. What good can he gain by poisoning the emperor to death? The Queen Mother hesitated.

"Royal Grandmother, please don't forget that he is from the Tuo Kingdom." The prince said, "My grandson now suspects that he is simply a spy of the Tuo Kingdom. Hearing that I was ill to the emperor, I took the opportunity to offer the so-called life-sustaining pill. After gaining the emperor's trust, he replaced the life-sustaining pills with poison. Otherwise, how to explain the life-sustaining pills found in his house? These were ten boxes, not two boxes in one. Such a large quantity was definitely He made it himself, it is impossible for someone to sneak it into his home."
