But the master has a life, and she is not qualified to refuse as a slave, even if she is tired and wants to sleep, she has to hold on.

When Mama Zhu returned to the room after being busy, she looked at the hour, thought of the news she had gotten, and calculated the time when Empress Dowager Liu got up on weekdays, thinking that she could sleep lightly for more than an hour no matter what, but she never thought that the plan would not be able to catch up with the changes.

Seven or eight young pink-clothed palace maids respectfully greeted the Empress Dowager Liu, and retreated to the outside of the hall in unison, and gently closed the door of the palace.

"Yes. ”

"There are two grandmothers waiting here in the mourning family, you all go down!"

"Slave and maid, thank the Queen Mother. ”

"Flat. ”

The two of them didn't care about being tired, so they only took a hot bath in a hurry, changed into clean clothes, and hurried to see the Empress Dowager Liu.

"The slave and maid greet the mother, and the mother is blessed. "Mama Zhu and Mama Tian were busy doing the errand given to them by the Empress Dowager Liu last night, and finally returned to the house after being busy and didn't have time to lie down and rest for a while, so they saw the palace maid come to pass the word, saying that the Empress Dowager Liu wanted to see them.

The flowers in the garden have long been bent over by the snow, and they look very pitiful from a distance, but the proud red plum can still see a little bright red in a world of ice and snow.

Although it snowed in the second half of the night, the blizzard came suddenly, and when you looked from the window, the whole yard was covered with thick snow, and the precious trees seemed to have been carved into exquisite ice sculptures by the wind and snow.

Feeling the raw stinging sensation of the cold wind blowing on her face, Empress Dowager Liu felt cold at the same time, her drowsy brain seemed to be clear and flexible in an instant.

After lying on the soft couch, Empress Dowager Liu waved her hand to let the two palace maids beside her step aside, she suddenly pushed open the window, and a cold and biting cold wind blew, which immediately made Empress Dowager Liu shiver.

"Yes. ”

"After sleeping a night, the mourning family was a little hungry, so I went to watch and send some light porridge. ”

"The Queen Mother, do you want to have some snacks with hot tea?"

If it weren't for the fact that Empress Dowager Liu still remembered that before going to sleep, she explained the matter and asked Zhu Tian's two grandmothers to handle it, with her temperament, the two grandmothers didn't come to serve her after she woke up, and she didn't know what kind of punishment she would have to suffer.

Seeing that the palace maid was ordered to retreat, Empress Dowager Liu said again: "Help the mourning family to sit on the soft couch by the window for a while." ”

"Yes. ”

As far as Empress Dowager Liu is concerned, if it can't be used by her, it should be destroyed.

This is like the crown prince, at the beginning, the Empress Dowager Liu really wanted to help the prince to the throne, not only because the prince was very filial to her, but also because Queen Pang had always obeyed her in front of her, but also because the Empress Dowager Liu and Queen Pang also had some blood love between the mother and son, but when Queen Pang disobeyed her, the Empress Dowager Liu decisively abandoned the prince.

A chess piece that can't be used by her and can't be at her mercy, once she gets to that position, it will completely threaten her, so how can Empress Dowager Liu be willing to make wedding dresses only for others?

Therefore, for so many years, it was clear that she was capable of preventing the Han King from being assassinated one after another, but she chose to watch from the sidelines.

As for why she didn't take the initiative to take the life of King Han, in the final analysis, she was still worried about the mother-son relationship between her and Emperor Xuan, and she didn't want to push her only son further again.

Yes, no matter how perfect the Empress Dowager Liu made for herself, in fact, she couldn't hide the fact that she didn't like King Han.

To please Empress Dowager Liu, you must be someone who listens to her very much and can be controlled by her, and King Han is definitely not a person who can be manipulated by others, whether in terms of temperament or ability.

But with Empress Dowager Liu's almost paranoid temperament, even if King Han didn't come out of Queen Han's belly, her grandmother would never like King Han.

Empress Dowager Liu didn't like Queen Han, and she didn't bother to do that face-saving effort, so that this matter was spread among the people.

Even if King Han is her own grandson, what if King Han failed to have a good birth, which concubine in the harem is not good for him, why should he be born in Queen Han's belly.

It's not that she, the ruthless grandmother, obviously learned of his death, and it can even be said that she knew who was behind the scenes but didn't stand up, but she had her own considerations and never wanted to ruin her original calculations.

"You, go and call Mama Zhu and Mama Tian over. Rubbing the corners of her forehead that was faintly painful, to say that Empress Dowager Liu was actually quite afraid of dreaming of King Han after falling asleep.

After drinking two cups of awakening tea, Empress Dowager Liu felt that her spirit was a little better, and then she asked the two palace maids who were waiting for her to help her walk around the hall, and she was a little more energetic.

"Yes. ”

"Bring it here. ”

"The Queen Mother, the awakening tea is ready. ”

About a quarter of an hour later, the Empress Dowager Liu, who was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, had already freshened up, but no matter how much powder she used, she couldn't hide the green shadow under her eyes, and the whole person was tired.

The movements of the palace maids of the night vigil were very fast, and in less than a moment, the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Liu was brightly lit, and one by one the pink-clothed palace maids entered with their mouths for washing, in an orderly manner.

"Yes. ”

"Call for someone to come and wait for the mourner to get up. ”

Last night, how could it be a quiet night?

When I finally opened my eyes, I was obviously very sleepy but there was no sleepiness at all, so I asked what time it was.

On the big bed behind the heavy gauza, although the Empress Dowager Liu slept for a while, she slept very lightly, dreaming of a lot of people and a lot of past events, and she wanted to struggle to wake up but was powerless.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, there is still a quarter of an hour before the end of the hour. As soon as Empress Dowager Liu's voice sounded and fell, the maid of the night watch sleeping in the outer hall immediately woke up, and quickly replied to Empress Dowager Liu's words respectfully.

"What time is it?"
