Chapter 313 (1/2)

After discussing with Chu Zhi, the imperial concubine Xian sent a message that the empress summoned her. She wanted the imperial concubine to send Chu Zhi, but Chu Zhi refused.

”Now your majesty is seriously ill. The other party came to the crown prince. If they were asked to see the princess at this time, I'm afraid they would make use of the topic. Besides, the queen has invited her, and the princess is worried...”

The virtuous imperial concubine frowned: ”even if they know, what can they do? Will the palace be afraid of them?”

Having said that, he still didn't ask anyone to send Chu Zhi.

After coming out of the palace gate, Dong'Er whispered, ”why did the girl refuse her mother?”

Just now, when the imperial concubine and empress wore a straight face, she was scared to death.

Chu Zhi said, ”I'm going to see Doctor Wu. It can't be known by others, so I won't let anyone follow.”

Chu Zhi lived in the palace for some time in her previous life. She knew how to avoid the palace people. When she arrived behind the rockery near the cold palace at the agreed time, too, Doctor Wu came.

”County leader!” Wu Taiyi was about to salute and was stopped by Chu Zhi. ”Wu Taiyi, what's wrong with your majesty?”

Doctor Wu's face was frozen: ”Your Majesty is afraid that he is not ill.”

”Is it not a disease?” Chu Zhi's eyes were cold, and he had a bad guess in his heart. ”Is it... Poisoning?”

”If it's poisoned, it's OK.” Doctor Wu sighed again. ”I suspect someone has poisoned your majesty!”

”Gu?”

”Exactly!”

”In that case, why not discuss countermeasures? Besides, I haven't heard any imperial doctor diagnose it. Your Majesty was poisoned.”

Wu Taiyi shook his head: ”who dares to say? Besides, the poison is very difficult to detect, which is very similar to the poisoning situation. If you can't tell what kind of poison it is, you don't dare to make a conclusion, and you won't delay so far. According to my understanding, at present, only I suspect that your majesty has been poisoned.”

Chu Zhi asked, ”do you know what Gu is?”

”It's not easy to judge.” Wu Taiyi said, ”but if you give me another two days, I'll be able to find out what Gu is.”

Chu Zhi nodded, ”it's hard for Wu Taiyi.”

”This is the duty of a minister.”

”Who is on your side now?”

”The empress, the virtuous imperial concubine, the spirit imperial concubine, the Zhuang imperial concubine, the Shun concubine and so on.”

Chu Zhi raised his eyebrows. It seems that all the important people are here.

”By the way, the spirit imperial concubine......” Chu Zhi had heard of the spirit imperial concubine in his previous life, but he couldn't see it all the time, so he was curious, ”why haven't you heard of it before?”

”Empress Lingfei doesn't like to socialize. She is in her own palace and doesn't go out very much. It's just that her majesty is different from empress Lingfei. No one in the back palace dares to despise empress Lingfei.”

”I see.”

”But...”

”But what?”

”Empress Lingfei is flexible and has variable preferences. She looks like a good talker. In fact, she is a smart man. Even without her majesty, no one in the palace dare to despise her. Moreover, empress Lingfei is distinguished and naturally different from others.” seeing Chu Zhi's unclear reason, Wu Taiyi took the initiative to explain, ”Princess Ling is the princess of the state of Chu. She married us to Daliang in the name of harmony, which is related to the friendly coexistence of the state of Liang, Chu and Liang. Naturally, no one dares to treat Princess Ling slowly!”

Chu Zhi suddenly realized that she asked, ”Your Majesty is seriously ill. Can the fourth Prince go?”
