The queen pondered for a moment, and said with some embarrassment, "The concubine really wants to ask the emperor for something." The emperor was surprised, the emperor has always been very sensible, never made any requests to him, just like her only nephew, who couldn't stand the idleness of others, quit his errand, and had a hard time in the house, she didn't come to ask for herself except to secretly make up for it, and then her nephew who didn't make up for it went to business, and she didn't say anything.

Speaking of her respect for so many years, in addition to the guilt in her heart, it is the respect for her character, that is, those concubines in this palace, as long as she does not have the intention of harming her, she never embarrass them, at most she ignores them, she is worthy of being the daughter of the gate, acting above board, there is no other backyard master mother who is virtuous in front of her and cruel in the backyard.

When she was young, she was in love with herself, and after so many years, although she is no longer as fresh and in love as a little girl, she still has complex emotions for her that are different from those for other women. Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes softened, and he asked jokingly, "Ah Zhen, let's say, what is worth asking you for, won't it be your nephew who has caused some trouble!" ”

When the queen heard this long-lost title, her eyes were slightly sour, she had just married the emperor, and when the two were in love, the emperor would affectionately call her by her maiden name. I didn't expect to hear it today, she saw that the emperor was soft, and her heart was not so nervous, speaking of the emperor over the years, but the majesty was growing, and she was sometimes a little afraid of him, she thought about her nephew, so she said, "It can also be said to be related to my nephew, the concubine heard that there is an antidote pill in the palace that can cure all kinds of poisons, I don't know if it is true?" ”

The emperor was stunned, he really didn't expect the queen to mention this matter to him, you know, there are few people who really know about this antidote pill, the queen doesn't know where to hear about it, and now she comes to ask herself, but for her nephew, the queen saw that the emperor heard this. He was silent, afraid that he would not give it, and he was anxious, so he looked at his countenance. asked softly, "Does the emperor really have this medicine in his hand?" ”

The emperor raised his eyes to look at her, and was silent for a long time, how did she learn about this, could it be that someone around me revealed it to her. Thinking of this, his face suddenly became difficult to see. The queen was a little apprehensive when she saw this, since this medicine was so secret, it was not a life-saving pill passed down from the palace through the past dynasties, and she dared to ask for it, just afraid that the emperor would be suspicious

The emperor's heart turned a thousand times, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the queen was worried, his mood was slightly gloomy, his face was impassive, and he asked softly. "Ah Zhen, where did you hear about this?" The queen has never inquired about her own affairs, and it should not be what she thinks. Seeing that his expression was not as dignified as Fang Cai, the queen felt slightly relieved, and replied honestly, "It was said by the retired imperial physician." The emperor suddenly smiled and said, "It turned out to be him, I said, there are only a few people in the palace who know about it." No one dared to say more, and I never mentioned it to the queen, and I told how the queen knew. ”

"This old thing, see how I treat him." The emperor scolded with a smile. When the queen heard this, she was immediately anxious. hurriedly opened his mouth to plead, "Your Majesty, don't blame the imperial physician for this, it was the concubine's nephew who forced him to say it, don't you treat him for crimes?" "The queen doesn't want to implicate the imperial doctor, and he is also kind to him. I just told Sù Ling'er.

The emperor was joking, but when he saw that the queen was serious, he pleaded with a face, and couldn't help but laugh on his face, knowing that the queen has always been kind, and if she involves others because of her own affairs, she will definitely feel uneasy.

Then he followed her words and said, "Okay, for the queen's sake, this matter will be settled." The queen breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked nervously, "Your Majesty, what about the antidote pill?" She also knew that she shouldn't ask this now, but if it was over, then her nephew's concubine would have no way to live, and it didn't matter if she died, but what about the child in her womb? He stubbornly asked.

When the emperor saw that she was still asking about this pill, he felt a little embarrassed, so he looked at her with a smile and asked in a light tone, "How does the queen hold this antidote pill so tightly, and what is the use of it, the queen can talk to me in detail." ”

After many years of husband and wife, how could the queen not hear the emperor's tone, she was already displeased, but she couldn't take care of it, so she simply let it out, poured beans into a bamboo tube, and told the emperor in detail about the causes and consequences of this matter. The emperor frowned, and suddenly felt that it was difficult to do it, this antidote pill was obtained from a master of the world who came and went without a trace when he was young, only a few pills in total, and he had also let the imperial doctors study it, but the ingredients were too mixed, and they couldn't mix it, and in the end there were only two left in his hand, which could be light and human.

But the Zhao family is different, almost all the men of the Zhao family died on the battlefield, and their heirs are not prosperous, so far Zhao Jinling is a bastard, the eldest is not small, and there is no child who inherits the ancestry, the queen has talked to him a few times about this matter, but he can't give birth, this is a thing that no one can do, and now someone is finally pregnant, and he was poisoned, and the emperor really felt that his heart was congested.

To give or not to give, the emperor hesitated, if he gave, there would only be one left, and it would be gone after use, if he didn't give it, in case Zhao Jinling's kid didn't have any children in the future, he didn't say that he was complained by the queen for a lifetime, and he was ashamed of his loyalty to the Zhao family.

The emperor rubbed his forehead with a headache, raised his eyes and saw the queen's expectant eyes, looking at himself brightly, he couldn't help but remember the scene when he first saw the queen, when she was lively and hearty because of the greed for the scenery in the palace lost, at first glance, no other woman was shy and panicked, just like this bright eyes looked at herself, with joy on her face.

He couldn't help but soften, the queen followed him all the way, suffered a lot of crimes, because of his throne, not only lost the child in his belly, but also injured his body, he still remembered the scene when she cried heartbreakingly, that's it, she didn't have a man and a woman under her knees, she has always loved that nephew as a son, and she should compensate her to compensate Zhao Mansion!

He turned around and went to the back of the bookcase, took out a delicate and small jade bottle at the bottom, poured a black pill from it, took the porcelain bottle and handed it to the queen, the queen took it with surprise on her face, with a bright smile on her face, and her eyes were full of gratitude, "Thank you, the emperor, thank you for the concubine for the Zhao Mansion!" "The queen was deeply blessed by the emperor.

The emperor stepped forward to help her up, and said softly, "The queen doesn't have to be like this, speaking of which, it is also our royal family who is ashamed of the Zhao Mansion, and I also hope that the heirs of the Zhao Mansion will prosper, and there will be a few more heroic men like your father and brother." Then serve the imperial court. ”

The queen has always been proud of her father and brother, and when she heard this, she bowed her head again and again, "The emperor said very well." The concubine also hopes to inherit the emperor's auspicious words, and the Zhao family will produce outstanding descendants, open up new territories for the emperor, and expand the territory for my Jing Dynasty. The emperor was extremely happy to say this, and the unhappiness of administering the medicine also disappeared. He laughed and said, "Sure enough, Ah Zhen knows my heart very well!" ”

The two said a few more words, and the emperor knew that Mrs. Zhao must still be waiting, so he waved his hand and said, "Queen, hurry up and send the medicine over!" Save the old lady from waiting anxiously, this is important to save people, don't delay. ”

The queen was also concerned about this matter, so she did not delay and retired, Lansang helped her and hurried back to Kunning Palace, and Mrs. Zhao saw that the queen was back. After a few steps and stopped, a pair of eyes looked at the queen's expression fixedly, pursed her lips, and was finally afraid to ask.

Seeing her so anxious look, the queen hurriedly took two steps forward to hold her slightly cool hand, smiled all over her face, and said happily, "Mother, don't worry, the emperor gave me the medicine." You take it back immediately and hand it to Ling Er, let him go back quickly, give it to the concubine, and instruct him. He must give birth to a white and fat child, or I will not spare him if anything happens. The queen handed over the small porcelain vase she had been holding in her hand and explained solemnly.

Mrs. Zhao took the small porcelain vase, almost crying with joy, but nodded again and again with a smile on her face. I couldn't say anything, the queen saw that she was almost done, so she sent someone to send the old lady out of the palace, and the maid helped the old lady Zhao to walk to the carriage parked at the gate of the palace, and suddenly the curtain opened, Zhao Jinling jumped out of the car, stepped forward to help the old lady into the carriage, and followed again, and before she sat down, she asked anxiously, "How is grandmother, is the emperor willing to give?" ”

Seeing him so anxious, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help glaring at him, but in the end she felt sorry for her grandson, seeing him looking at herself with a worried face, when she left, she arranged for the maid to let him rest at home, but he came to wait for himself, it can be seen that he was also in a hurry, and he was a little relieved in his heart, sensible and knew that he was anxious about his heirs, and the old lady was still so nervous about him, she valued the child in the belly of the concubine, if she knew that it was the concubine room that was so tight, she was afraid that she would kill Lianniang's heart.

Sui Le took out the small porcelain bottle that had been holding tightly in his hand, and said with a smile, "Ling'er, what do you think this is?" Zhao Jinling's face that had not been frowning for many days bloomed with a touch of surprise, he took the porcelain bottle and poured out the pill, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and said happily, "Grandmother, this is the antidote pill." There were faint tears flashing in her eyes, Lian Niang was saved, and she was worthy of the fact that she had spent so much effort.

Old man Zhao sighed with a smile, "Yes, it was your aunt who begged from the emperor, speaking of which, the emperor is not thin on our family, your aunt can say, such a precious antidote pill is also begged for you, if there is another case in the future, she will not spare you, she asked you to give her a white and chubby doll to come out, do you hear?" ”

Zhao Jinling's eyes sparkled, and he lowered his eyes for a long time and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, your grandson will let you hold the white and chubby little doll." But he didn't say when, his long eyelashes hid the sly light under his eyes.

Back in the house, Zhao Jinling said to Mrs. Zhao, "Grandmother, since you have obtained this antidote pill, your grandson will immediately leave to return to Jiangzhou, time is pressing, and your grandson will not dare to delay any longer." Mrs. Zhao was a little reluctant to leave before he got home, but she was still waiting for this medicine to save her life, and she couldn't say anything to save her.

But looking at his grandson's haggard face, he was distressed, and pulled him and asked, "Isn't it okay to stay overnight?" You rode back so far and wide, and you didn't rest all night, and you had to rush back non-stop, this body can withstand it, so my grandmother said a long time ago, I won't let you go so far to do business, you have to, where can't you do business" The old lady couldn't help but muttered again.

Zhao Jinling hurriedly coaxed the old lady and said, "Grandmother, my grandson also wants to accompany your grandmother well, but your great-grandson is still waiting for your grandson to save it, if it is too late, the tired grandmother can't hold the great-grandson, and the grandmother should be sad again, and the grandson will come back to accompany you well, maybe you can bring your great-grandson back!" ”

These words suddenly reached the old lady's heart, she smiled from ear to ear, and said straightly, "Okay, grandmother waits, you must protect your grandmother's great-grandson" babbled for a long time, and then let Zhao Jinling leave.

When he came, Zhao Jinling was full of sorrow, and when he went, he was like an arrow, galloping all the way on the official road, only to see bursts of smoke and dust. He wore the stars and the moon, and finally rushed back on the night of the tenth day, drank a little wine at the door, slept soundly, and was awakened by the knock on the door in the middle of the night, and was quite unhappy, rubbing his sleepy eyes, dragging out, and asking impatiently, "Who?" "I muttered in my heart, what kind of person disturbs people's dreams in the middle of the night, it's really annoying.

The man's shouting and scolding outside the door came, "You old Luotou, you are sleeping dead, don't open the door quickly, it's the Hou Ye who is back." A spirit at the door, the sleepy brain immediately woke up, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, and sure enough, he saw that Hou Ye and his party were standing at the door, and they knelt down and kowtowed again and again, "Little damn it, please forgive Hou Ye"

Zhao Jinling's mind was full of Shen Qinglian, and he didn't even glance at the kneeling door, but only strode towards the Green Lotus Garden, and the entourage saw that Hou Ye had entered, so he said to the door head who was still kneeling, "Get up, Hou Ye doesn't have the heart to worry about you now, just be vigilant in the future." The doorman stood up with gratitude and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Xi'er and Qing'er are taking care of Shen Qinglian in the house, these days the two girls are very dedicated, day and night carefully taking care of Shen Qinglian, but Rao is like this, you can also see Shen Qinglian **** emaciated and haggard, now she is so thin that only a handful of bones remain, when the two of them hold her to feed the soup and scrub, they are often so sad that they wipe their tears, but there is no other way, the two can only keep feeding her some soup, not much to feed, just rest for a moment to feed, deliberately put a stove outside, convenient for heating these soups and water.

When Zhao Jinling came in, he saw that these two maids were carefully feeding Shen Qinglian soup, Xi'er and Qing'er saw that Hou Ye was back, so they wanted to get up and salute, Zhao Jinling waved his hand, let them finish feeding, he stood in front of him and looked at Shen Qinglian's eyebrows carefully, these days she has become more and more thin and painful, it is simply skin and bones, her complexion is blue and white, seeing that she has difficulty swallowing the soup, Zhao Jinling looked at it and felt painful.

couldn't help but take a step forward, wanted to hug her, thought of something, lowered his head to see, frowned, and saw that he was very dirty, so he went to the bath room to rinse casually, and came out with wet hair. (To be continued.) )
