Aunt Ran's expression changed drastically.
Everyone else also recognized it. Wasn't the person captured by Xiao Yan the same Dr. Wu who had cured the Queen Mother's old illness and was enjoying great fame in the palace during this period?
It's just that he was quite embarrassed at this time, with blood all over his clothes. He didn't get up when he was thrown to the ground, and just collapsed on the ground.
Gu Helian sneered: "Tell me, what did our Queen Mother tell you?"
Doctor Wu collapsed on the ground and said with a trembling voice: "The Queen Mother has been lingering on the bed for a long time, and she is even more unable to get up after the winter moon. Everyone in the Imperial Medical Office is unable to do anything after diagnosis and treatment. She only thinks that the Queen Mother may be able to save her life if she rests quietly, but here she is. The Empress Dowager ordered someone to find me."
"There is a secret recipe from my ancestors. After taking it, it can stimulate the human body's potential. No matter how serious the condition is, the medicine can get better. But in fact, it depletes the body's foundation and exchanges for the appearance of peace at the expense of life span."
"The Queen Mother ordered me to give her the medicine. She said it was because King Pingshan had rebelled and the court was unstable. She was afraid that her illness would worsen, which would make the court unstable. I believed the Queen Mother and gave her a few doses of medicine. I thought that After the Queen Mother took the medicine and her health improved and Your Majesty felt at ease, I relied on medicine to nurse her back to health. Unexpectedly, the decoction was not used on Your Majesty at all, but was used on the wife and princess who came to the palace to attend to the illness."
Mrs. Cao, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said: "No wonder... When His Majesty ordered me to wait until she entered the palace to attend to her illness, he said that the Queen Mother was seriously ill. However, after we entered the palace, the Queen Mother's condition suddenly improved, and it only took a few days. It looks like he is getting better every day."
Mrs. Cui said coldly: "The Queen Mother's health has improved. She said it was due to the conflict of the stars, and she even specially treated me to a banquet as a reward. But now it turns out that she used decoction, so today's banquet..."
"Ah!"
She sneered, and everyone in the hall also looked solemn.
Since the Queen Mother's physical recovery is fake, then naturally there should not be such a reward banquet. However, the Queen Mother entertains everyone with great fanfare, which is obviously against common sense.
Doctor Wu continued: "This decoction is inherently harmful to people. The more you take it, the greater the harm. It can also eat away at people's internal organs and harm people's lives."
"I didn't dare to let the Queen Mother take it for a long time. I was afraid that if I hurt her life, it would affect the whole family. Her Majesty would never let me go if she knew about it, so I wanted to stop taking this medicine, but the Queen Mother was unwilling. She threatened my wife, daughter and son. She asked me to continue to give her medicine, and to cover her up outside, telling everyone that she was in good health..."
"Mr. Wu!!"
Aunt Ran shouted loudly, trying to stop Dr. Wu from speaking, but unfortunately Dr. Wu was not afraid of him at all.
Doctor Wu looked at him with resentment: "I originally didn't know why the Queen Mother was acting like this, and she was playing with her own life. Only today did I understand that she clearly wanted to use her own life to frame Princess Xiangning and let her She is charged with murdering the Queen Mother..."
"you shut up!"
As soon as Granny Ran shouted fiercely, she was whipped by Qian Qiyue who couldn't bear it anymore.
"I think you have to shut up!!"
Qian Qiyue's body was covered with wounds. She didn't know what kind of pill Yue Jian had stuffed into her just now. At this time, she had already recovered. After the weakness in her body faded away, although the wounds on her body were painful, she still waved the whip. Now he is a bit more fierce than before.
She looked at Nanny Ran, who was disfigured by a whip, pointed at her and said angrily:
"I asked you why you had to let so many people into the palace, and then you refused to let me and Tang Ning go to serve the sick. Why did you let Tang Ning become the eldest princess? All these feelings are for today."
"Why, it's not enough for me to be blamed for causing the crown prince's death. You also want Tang Ning to be blamed for causing the queen mother's death as well?"
"Princess?" Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment.
Concubine Zhaogui frowned: "What eldest princess?"
"Then you have to ask the Queen Mother!"
Qian Qiyue grabbed the whip and looked at the Queen Mother sarcastically.
Tang Ning stood next to Xiao Yan and whispered: "I have been in the palace for several days, but the Queen Mother has not summoned me. It was not until yesterday that she suddenly asked me to come to Shoukang Palace to attend to my illness."
"I originally thought that the Queen Mother wanted me to serve the decoction for her, but I didn't expect that the Queen Mother asked me to recognize Your Majesty as my adoptive father and to join the royal family and designate me as the eldest princess Yongning."
Everyone in the palace looked shocked.
Tang Ning's voice was not loud, but everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.
"Everyone is well aware of the grudges between Duke Dingguo and the palace. What happened at the palace banquet happened before, and His Majesty has never let go of his suspicion of my brother. He even hated my brother because of the incident involving the prince. How dare I dare to suggest this easily? Agree, and besides, there is only one person with the title of eldest princess. If I agree, eldest princess Leyang will have her title reduced, and the clan will never agree."
"I was afraid of trouble, and I was also afraid that the Queen Mother had other thoughts and would refuse. I thought the Queen Mother would be angry, but she didn't say anything. She only said that she would hold a banquet for everyone today and let us out of the palace."
"I originally thought that the Queen Mother might just have a whim, but I didn't expect..."
Tang Ning glanced at the Queen Mother, whose face was as white as snow:
"It turns out that the Queen Mother had already planned to plot your life against me before we entered the palace. How can Tang Ning be so virtuous as to use the Queen Mother's life in exchange for me being charged with murdering the royal family?"
Doctor Wu mocked: "Of course the princess can't do it, but what about Duke Ding?"
"Wu Liran!!"
Aunt Ran just wished she could tear out Doctor Wu's mouth.
However, Doctor Wu only had a face full of resentment: "Last night, the Queen Mother asked me for a strong dose of medicine. After taking it, she can keep her safe for half a day. After the medicine wears off, her internal organs will fail, her heart and arteries will be damaged, and she will vomit blood and die."
"I knew in my heart that something big might happen in the palace today. I escaped from the palace overnight just to save my life. I never thought of betraying the Queen Mother. But who would have thought that the Queen Mother would kill everyone and have people hunt me down..."
He suddenly opened his sleeves, and everyone was shocked to find that Dr. Wu was missing one of his hands.
The waist that had been lying on the ground was wrapped in a thick white cloth, with a lot of blood seeping out of it.
Doctor Wu hissed: "Both my wife and young son were killed at the hands of thieves, and my eldest daughter almost lost her life. If Duke Ding had not brought people to rescue him in time, the entire Wu family would have been killed by the Queen Mother's people." Dogs don’t stay.”
He was forced to work for the Queen Mother just to protect his family. Even if the Queen Mother asked him to keep the secret with his own life, he had nothing to say. However, the people in Shoukang Palace were ruthless and wanted to eradicate the roots, killing so many people in the Wu family and his wife. My son will die with his eyes closed.
Doctor Wu looked at the Queen Mother who was gasping for air and on the verge of death with resentment in her eyes.
"After the Queen Mother took the medicine, she was forced to take all the vitality and die, but she pretended to argue with Princess Xiangning. If she died, others who examined the body would only think that she was suffering from heart failure due to a long-term illness."
"Everyone will feel that the Queen Mother could have survived, but she was offended and offended by Princess Xiangning to death. The Princess will not be able to explain it clearly even if she has ten mouths. The Queen Mother is using her life to plot against Princess Xiangning!"
