Zhao Zixu looked at his mother, his queen, and several imperial doctors, and knew that he could no longer hide the poisoning.

After the family banquet, on the way back to Kunning Hall with Queen Lu, he felt unwell. He knew that the poison was about to develop.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at Kunning Hall, he vomited blood and fell into a coma.

"I'm fine, mother, Yinli, don't worry, I'm much better."

Zhao Zixu had a smile on his lips and spoke to comfort the Queen Mother and Queen Lu. His face was pale, and his lips were bloodless, with a faint bluish tint.

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Zixu who had just woken up. Even though Zhao Zixu said that he was fine, the Queen Mother was still worried and asked Dr. Liu, "Doctor Liu, can your majesty's poison be cured?"

Imperial Physician Liu held up his hands and was about to reply, but Zhao Zixu said first: "Physician Liu, the poison in my body should be cured, right?"

Imperial Physician Liu met Zhao Zixu's eyes. He had been in the Imperial Hospital for many years and had a good ability to observe people's emotions. He clearly felt the warning and threat in His Majesty's eyes.

Does Your Majesty want him to conceal his condition and not tell the Queen Mother and Queen the truth?

He suddenly understood something. Why did His Majesty warn him?

Unless, unless His Majesty intentionally prevents the Queen Mother and Queen from knowing about his condition.

A terrible thought came to Dr. Liu's mind.

Your Majesty didn't just know that he was poisoned now. Your Majesty already knew about his poisoning.

When Imperial Physician Liu took Zhao Zixu's pulse, he could see from the pulse that His Majesty had been poisoned for some time, and was definitely not poisoned just today.

No wonder His Majesty wanted to warn him that this matter was not trivial.

He didn't know what His Majesty's intentions were, but at the moment he could obey His Majesty's wishes.

"The Queen Mother, please forgive me. Although the acupuncture performed by me has removed some of the poison on Your Majesty, there is still residual poison in Your Majesty's body. You need to take medicine to slowly eliminate the remaining poison."

The Queen Mother said, "The remaining poison has not been cleared away. Is there any fear for Your Majesty's life?"

Doctor Liu shook his head slightly.

The Queen Mother thought that Dr. Liu meant that there was no fear of life. In fact, Dr. Liu shook his head to express that he didn't know. He didn't know.

In fact, he really didn't know or didn't know.

"Physician Liu, please stay in the hospital and wait until His Majesty's remaining poison has cleared up before you leave the palace."

The Queen Mother said this. How could Dr. Liu dare to say no? He had no choice but to comply with the Queen Mother's decree and say yes.

……

It was late at night, and Zhao Zixu ordered the palace maids to escort the Queen Mother back to Cining Palace. The Queen Mother was unwilling and wanted to guard her son in Kunning Palace. Finally, under the persuasion of Queen Lu, the Queen Mother returned to Cining Palace.

Imperial Physician Liu and three other imperial physicians were sent back to the Imperial Hospital. They had been struggling for half their lives, so they naturally knew what to say and what not to say.

"Yinli, talk to me."

Zhao Zixu rarely used the word "I". His voice was very soft, as if he was weak when he was seriously ill, but he was very gentle.

Queen Lu sat down on the couch. The candlelight in the palace was bright, and the green color on Zhao Zixu's lips clearly fell into her eyes. A delicate jade hand covered the back of Zhao Zixu's hand, and then held it.

"His Majesty."

Zhao Zixu felt the scorching temperature of Queen Lu's jade palm. The warmth was still the same as before. His heart moved slightly. The feeling was indescribable. It seemed like the feeling of their newlyweds and their deep love.

They were childhood sweethearts, and they became husband and wife when they were young. The few years after their wedding were the happiest moments between them.

However, after Yan'er passed away and he was infected with a strange poison, he could no longer feel or touch the special feeling between him and Yinli.

"Your Majesty, you don't know how nervous and worried I was when I saw you vomiting blood and falling asleep. Doctor Liu said that you were poisoned, and he almost scared me to death."

Big tears fell from the corners of Queen Lu's eyes. Until this moment, she dared to release her worries and fears in front of Zhao Zixu.

Zhao Zixu was heartbroken. He put his big palm on Queen Lu's beautiful face, wiped away the tears on her face, and softly coaxed Queen Lu, "Yinli, don't cry. I'm fine. I'm really fine."

Zhao Zixu's gentle voice was like a catalyst, and Queen Lu's tears burst out and flowed down one by one as if they couldn't stop it.

"Woooooooo..."

Queen Lu sobbed softly. It seems that he wants to vent all the pent-up emotions.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Queen Lu, Zhao Zixu simply stopped. He hugged Queen Lu lovingly and buried her dark head in his shoulder and neck.

Queen Lu's jade arms went around Zhao Zixu's back and wrapped around Zhao Zixu's slim waist.

In the past two or three months, Zhao Zixu had been working very hard on political affairs and did not care about the balance between work and rest. As a result, his body became noticeably thinner.

Queen Lu didn't cry for long and soon stopped sobbing.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Zhao Zixu's hand touched Queen Lu's bun, held the back of her head and stroked it, his movements gentle and cautious.

"Ali, call my name."

Queen Lu had not called Zhao Zixu by his name for a long time, "Xi."

"Call again."

"Xi."

"Xi."

When he was born, the sun was rising, warm and blazing, representing the hope and prosperity of breaking through the darkness. His father named him Xi.

Zhao Zixu was immersed in Queen Lu's calls, and he clearly understood that he did not have much time left.

Zhao is his surname, Xi is his given name, and Zixu is his given name.

His name and name are full of warmth and hope, but he is destined to leave this world.

Forgive me, Yinli.

……

Its daybreak.

The news that Zhao Zixu was poisoned has not yet spread out of the palace.

The Queen Mother came from a famous family and had been in the queen's position for many years, ruling the imperial court. Now she was the Queen Mother. Even though she had not managed the affairs of the harem for several years, she was still the resolute and resolute eldest daughter of the Lu family.

She personally led a thorough investigation into Zhao Zixu's poisoning, from the palace maids who served Zhao Zixu, to the people who delivered the food and handled the food at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, to the cooks in the dining room who cut and cooked the vegetables, and the male and female handymen who lit the fire and carried water. After interrogation, the principle is that all suspicious persons will be put to death.

Everyone has interrogated him and found nothing.

The Queen Mother did not believe it and had people torture her. After being tortured to extract confessions, two or three people confessed, but they all said they had not poisoned.

The Queen Mother executed these people directly, and even interrogated the cooks in the dining room. After the interrogation failed, she executed all the cooks, chamberlains, and maids responsible for Zhao Zixu's meals.

The Queen Mother's ruthless tactics made other people in the dining room and those who had been exposed to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet frightened, fearing that she would be the next to die.

The two imperial doctors who were on duty last night and had treated Zhao Zixu were a little worried when they heard about the Queen Mother's interrogation of the harem.

If the hospital cannot cure His Majesty's residual poison, or if it takes them a while to remove His Majesty's remaining poison, and the Queen Mother is unhappy, will she hold the hospital accountable?

Dr. Liu also felt the same way.
