When the queen returned to Kunning Palace, she didn't say politely to Imperial Doctor Li, and asked bluntly,

"How is the emperor's body, and what have you done to make the emperor angry?"

Imperial Doctor Li saluted slowly, stood up straight, and touched his beard.

"Hui Niangniang's words, the minister didn't say anything, before Niangniang and the others came, the minister had just arrived, and he hadn't carefully checked the emperor's pulse, and the emperor was completely sober, and the rest of the matter was what you saw. ”

"So, you don't know the emperor's physical condition?"

Imperial Doctor Li hesitated, "Indeed, as long as there are three pulses, lift, press, and find, and silence is the guarantee, but for a moment, the emperor's heart is not quiet, and the ministers are not quiet, so naturally nothing can be found." ”

Could it be that the emperor is really just old and frail, and his body is not supported to such an extent? The emperor has always been proud of his maintenance, is it just a strong outsider and a middle-class worker? The queen is full of worries, although as the queen is often angry with Concubine Zhen, she is still the rightful hostess of the Forbidden City, and if the emperor has anything out of the ordinary, the ministers of the previous dynasty can also stop it. If the emperor's really older princes have biological mothers, and the young and motherless ones can't surpass their brothers, when the time comes, with the Queen Mother, who will remember their own queen mother, and if they meet a ruthless person who only recognizes the former queen as his mother-in-law, then what else can he have?

However, the minister has some opinions about the emperor. Imperial Doctor Li said slowly.

"Say, say it. "How can these doctors talk so cumbersomely!

When Chen entered the house, he found that the closer he got to the dragon bed, the more he asked for a medicinal smell, which was not pure, mixed with other flavors. As far as the minister knows, the emperor has not seen the imperial doctor these days, and there is no record in the case book that the people of the Qianqing Palace received medicinal materials from the pharmacy, and this medicinal smell is supposed to be brought in from other places. Moreover, in retrospect, there seems to be some fireworks in the Qianqing Palace."

Imperial Doctor Li was not kneeling there in vain when the emperor and the concubine Qingqing and me, his nose has always been very smart, no more than other imperial doctors specialize in one item, even if it is half a queen's person, the emperor of the harem also values him more.

He felt strange when he entered the palace earlier, this palace pays attention to smokeless and odorless, and this palace does not allow odors, and the stolen goods are immediately cleaned up and covered with dried rosin wood to remove the smell, and the same heating and light are used in smokeless silver charcoal and candles, and there will be no such smoked smoke.

To say that the harem is so big, it is possible to use charcoal in a remote cold palace or a place like the imperial dining room, but how can there be a Qianqing Palace where the emperor lives!

This Imperial Doctor Li could think of, the queen could naturally think of, the sharp, bright and delicate armor set was striking on the dark agarwood case, making a dull sound. Seeing that Imperial Doctor Li was still a little hesitant, the queen knew that he wanted to have something to say.

"Imperial Doctor Li, as we all know, even if the emperor's body is not seriously ill, it is becoming more and more physically exhausted, those princes think about it and know that Ansheng can't be born, the palace has no children, if the son of that one is on the throne, I believe that Imperial Doctor Li will also know what will happen later, although the palace knows that you are a loyal emperor, but the former dynasty and the harem don't know, only treat you as a person from the palace. If Imperial Doctor Li still knows something, it is better to say it early, otherwise, not only this palace, if Imperial Doctor Li is there something else"

Imperial Doctor Li usually relies on his good medical skills, and he doesn't want to get close to the queen who has no favor and no children, he just wants to be loyal to the emperor.

But you must know that although the Tai Hospital will accept the name of the eunuchs outside to invite people, it is the Wang Tai Doctor who is commonly used by the Jia family and Jia's mother. But these are usually only used to earn extra money, and the hospital's duty is to be responsible for the health of the royal family, and most importantly, the bodies of the masters in the palace.

Especially the imperial doctor above the imperial doctor, when he was first promoted to the imperial doctor, the imperial doctor Li who had no background in medical skills was very excluded, and later learned that it was better for the people with the same surname as him to be the queen, in order to gain a firm foothold in the imperial hospital, in some aspects of the queen turned a blind eye, both wanted to borrow the queen's momentum, but also did not want to become the queen's person, as everyone knows, when he approached the past, he was branded as the queen.

Imperial Doctor Li is not a stupid person, and after listening to the queen's threat, he naturally knew that he had no way out, so he told the queen what he knew.

"As far as the minister knows, Lord Xue of the Tai Hospital seems to be obsessed with Taoism and pills, and the minister occasionally sees him reading relevant books, and also takes some medicinal materials to study, and this Lord Xue has always been good friends with the emperor."

How can he be a good friend, the emperor simply took him as a benefactor.

In this dynasty, if you ask who is most trusted by the emperor, it is naturally the adults in the cabinet, and who is the most favored by the emperor, it is naturally the harem Zhen Guifei, but if you want to say who is the closest to the emperor, one is the emperor's nurse, and the old lady Zhen who later married the Zhen family in Jiangnan is also the maiden family of Zhen Guifei, and the other is this Xue Yuan Zheng Xue.

The emperor was not favored by the emperor when he was young, if it weren't for the protection of the old lady of the Zhen family, I don't know what it would be like to be bullied by the head of the palace. At that time, there was smallpox in the harem, I don't know how many people were infected, how many noble masters were hovering on the edge of life and death, who could still take care of the emperor who was just an unfavored and unknown prince at that time, all the imperial doctors were gathered together, the emperor himself lived in a cold palace-like place, and only the nurse was taken care of, if it weren't for the fact that Imperial Doctor Xue risked death and sneaked out of the hospital from time to time to send medicine to the emperor for treatment, the young emperor would have gone long ago.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he trusted these two people very much, not to mention the grandmother, his daughters became concubines, Xue Yuanzheng is also powerful, an ordinary imperial doctor, triple jump, directly promoted to the chief of the imperial hospital, only need to take care of the emperor's body, the rest of the people ignore it, obviously did not make much effort, and handed over the position of the leader of the history of imperial doctors, which has been compiled for decades in this dynasty, if it weren't for these two people, one is a woman, and the other is a doctor who has no intention of political affairs, I don't know how many times he has been impeached by the imperial history!

This Xue Yuan is seventy or eighty years old, two years ago, he was sick, and the emperor called the doctors of Mantai Hospital, which was narrowly saved, but since then, this Xue Yuan is like to be obsessed with Taoism, and he is smoky and burning all day long, but he didn't expect that he was also obsessed with alchemy, and he also brought the emperor over.

If this is the case, it is reasonable, the ancestors of the Kang Dynasty are the descendants of the Qin Dynasty, and the absurdity of Qin Shi Huang's search for the elixir of life was seen by himself, and it was also recorded in the annals of history. Since the beginning of the first two years, the emperor has not recruited many concubines, and in recent days, the emperor has recruited the fox from Suzhou, and he thought that he was fascinated by her, so energetic, it seems that he has not taken less pills.

Since the queen knew the truth of the matter, she didn't leave him behind, and waved her hand to let Imperial Doctor Li go back.

The queen doesn't believe in religion much, let alone alchemy, she and Kang Shizu have similar thoughts, these Dao pills are just overdrawing the body's original energy, which is harmful to immortality.

At this time, a beautiful palace maid came in with tea, handed the tea to the queen, and asked softly,

"Queen Mother, you haven't had breakfast yet, I don't know"

The queen came back to her senses, took the tea bowl, and said,

"It's Yuan Chun, these things will be handed over to the palace maid to do well, why don't you do it yourself. ”

It turned out that this was not a palace maid, she was really Jia Yuanchun, the eldest daughter of Jia Jiarong Guofu who entered the palace a few years ago, Jia Yuanchun was elected as a female official of Kunning Palace, and she originally came to the status of a harem concubine, but the emperor is old, and Jia Yuanchun, who is a girl in the flower season, saw it once, and how did he look at the fat and aging emperor, and then he has been avoiding him. She has always wanted to climb to the young Qingjun prince, but for those princes with a promising future, this Kunning Palace is not worse than the clear pot cold stove, how can she come more.

After so many years, Jia Yuanchun's appearance has opened, more and more delicate and beautiful like a rose, born in a family, has his own noble bearing, Jia Yuanchun looked at such a flower-like beauty, and stayed for a long time with the most luxurious and noble place in the world, naturally he didn't want to be lonely and out of the palace after becoming an old woman at the age of twenty-five. No, as soon as I heard that the queen had a rumor that she had chosen the female officials around her to win over the prince, she not only asked her family for a large sum of silver to get through the relationship, but also always put down the noble head of the daughter of the family and offered her courtesy to the servants around the queen.

As the saying goes, money can make the ghost grind, sprinkle the silver, and sure enough, he got through the grandmother around the queen, mentioned himself to the queen, and added his own flower and moon appearance, and sure enough, it entered the queen's eyes, according to the mother, he can be said to be ten** It's decided, the next thing is to send it to that prince, the eldest prince is the crown prince, the highest status, the best to send to him, the second prince is the most favored, the Zhen family and his own family are old relatives, it's not bad, although the fourth prince is raised by Concubine De, but after all, he is not his own, and his status is lower than that of other older princes, and the sixth prince looks good but is unfortunately weak

"Where is the mother, which nameplate is the slave and maid, it is a great honor to be able to be a mother, how can you be tired. ”

The queen seemed to be moved, and patted her delicate hand,

"Good boy, this palace will not treat you badly, this good skin naturally has to be well maintained, go down, just call Mama in." ”

"Yes. Jia Yuanchun bowed and stepped back.

The queen was stunned when she saw her curvy and graceful figure, she naturally didn't know Jia Yuanchun's thoughts, when she first entered Kunning Palace, she was not so well-behaved and obedient, always posing with the noble posture of a family girl, and often went to Chengqian Palace to hang around, and when she intended to choose a side concubine for the prince to serve, she came out, but she didn't care, Jia Yuanchun was in Kunning Palace for a day, he was his own person, out of this door, to the prince is the connection between them, and the prince will not refuse his kindness, no matter what, he still stands as his mother。

Jia Yuanchun is a good chess piece, the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, her status is high enough, and her family still has some power in the army, judging from her work these days, the family is not short of money, and she can take it anywhere, such a good chess piece, naturally she can't give it to the woman surnamed Zhen. In recent years, the prince has been a little impatient, but he is both a concubine and a long, and his support rate in the DPRK is very high, very stable, and the probability of being on top is very high. The fourth prince is the adopted son of Concubine De, Concubine De herself has a son but is too young, although he has always been headed by the prince, who knows that he has no mind, but his identity is lower than other brothers of similar age, and the foreign family is one, if Yuanchun is given to her, it will also be a help to him, the sixth prince is not in good health, and it is a delay to give it to him, and there are several princes below

Just thinking about it, his grandmother led someone to bring the breakfast, looked at the palace maids in front of her who obviously had different temperaments, rubbed her head, anyway, there are no bad female officials around me, so their identities are different, and they have to think about it. The queen glanced at Jia Yuanchun, who was standing on the side most conspicuously, and there was always a distinction. But it's all too much, the emperor only believes in Imperial Doctor Xue now, and the imperial doctor next to him can't intervene, I don't know the specific situation of the emperor's body, so it's better to make a decision quickly.

When the queen was struggling to maintain her position, here, at the gate of the city, a man in a brocade dress hurriedly passed by on horseback, and the arrogant gatekeeper did not dare to stop him, and leaned over respectfully, knowing that the horse was galloping and disappeared before getting up, the people next to him looked strange, looked up, and saw that the white-robed boy was gorgeously dressed, the horse was flying, and some knowledgeable old people in Kyoto lowered their heads.

The horses galloped all the way, but they arrived at the suburbs in a little more than a quarter of an hour, and if Jia Lu was here, he would be surprised, wasn't this where his Zhuangzi was?

Brother Gongzi got off the horse, handed over the horse rope to the blue-hat guy in front of him, walked quickly to the village, entered and exited the main hall of the house, someone was already waiting on the side, Brother Gongzi sat next to him in one step, did not wait for the next person to send tea, took the tea bowl of the person next to him and drank it, and looked at the others after soothing it.

Brother Gongzi's eyes flashed with amazement, he is really a mixed world, even if he is a man, he has to sigh, what he said in "The Book of Poetry and Wei Feng":

Zhan Bi Qiao, green bamboo, there are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting, such as learning, such as grinding. It's noisy, it's noisy. If there is a bandit gentleman, you must not be ridiculous.

is not the handsomeness admired by the people of the time, but when anyone talks about a gentleman, there is no one who does not respect him.

"Fourth prince, what about your royal etiquette, where did you leave it behind?" As long as he doesn't speak, he is a gentleman.

The Four Princes, that is, the sons who came on horseback, wrinkled a bun face, yes, it was a bun face, the Four Princes were a proper baby face, what a noble son, plastered hakama, those people who only looked at their backs and drew conclusions should really see that seeing is believing.

"Little cousin, who of us is with whom, you didn't give me a greeting, why can't I drink your words?" The fourth prince stared at Jiang Zining with big eyes, this expression was enough to arouse the love and pity of any creature of any gender.

Jiang Zining turned his head, how could he be such a daughter with this tender skin bag when he was so old, Jiang Zining didn't know that this was a skill called selling cuteness, and the four princes lit up all this skill, but he couldn't look down on it, and it was not good to say anything more.

"Fourth prince, why do you have time to come here at this time, shouldn't you be in the early dynasty?"

The four princes have a correct posture, and it is okay to play around in private, but when doing business, they naturally have to be serious.

"My father's body is as expected, one day is worse than a day, even if I hide it tightly, my father fell asleep in public this morning, and my father didn't let the imperial doctor take the pulse, and the queen was driven out, leaving only Zhen Niangniang to guard, I'm afraid it will be uneven again. ”

The corners of Jiang Zining's lips hooked, didn't it.

"The queen mother is about to lose her hand, right?"

The fourth prince tilted his head, matched with his innocent face, but he was cute, and his mouth spit out quiet words.

"I don't know, there was also Imperial Doctor Li who was driven out at that time, this is the queen's person. You have to intervene no matter what, feel free, anyway, there is a big brother in the way!"

"Don't care, the fourth prince, if the queen inserts a girl who drags her feet, her maiden family will make trouble in your name, and then there will be places where you can't help it. I recommend the girl from the Jia family."

"Girl of the Jia family, didn't her family fully support her to climb to the crown prince, I heard that her family also gave her a lot of silver, she really deserves to be the hero of the founding of the country," thinking of her generosity in the palace, she couldn't help pouting, "I'm not as good as her as a prince!"

"Although there is still a little power in the army in Jiafu, there is no successor, this strength is like chicken ribs, it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless, there are no capable people in the next generation, and there is no power in the DPRK, but with the alliance of these four families, it is just a matter of dominating the common people. If you don't have the ability, you won't get into trouble, which is good. ”

The fourth prince was puzzled, "Didn't you say that what is under her house is quite good?

"It's not a house, I've also investigated, these two families are good, and there is a gap in political affairs, I thought the two of them were supporting the girl who entered the palace together, but after checking, I realized that this was just a slave in the house making his own opinion"

"Okay, okay, Zining, isn't she just a woman, she dares to toss and lock the yard directly. ”

Looking at the immature and childish face of the fourth prince and saying such cool words as "Isn't it a woman", Jiang Zining couldn't help but smile, and gradually became bitter, women are simple, just like their home

Jiang Zining didn't persuade much, and then the two discussed the matter of Jiangnan.

"The people of Taizimen are becoming more and more arrogant in Jiangnan"

"Before, they were still taking care of the emperor, but after the emperor was unwell, I thought it would be even more arrogant."

"I don't know if Lin Ruhai can hold it down"

"I'm going to Jiangnan today"

"It's good to go and see, find out, there is still the second emperor brother on the prince's side"
