The news of victory is always the fastest.

As early as when the army of Los Angeles captured Yeluheng, this exciting news had gradually spread to the territory of the Dragon Kingdom.

Captured the Turkic Khan? That's basically no different from victory, but it's a matter of time or time, anyway, this victory will definitely not be able to run away, and the entire Dragon Kingdom has begun to celebrate in advance.

But not everyone in the Dragon Kingdom is celebrating this long-awaited victory, at least, the Empress Dowager Xigong will definitely not be happy about it.

Jing Qianyun was only thinking about this war with the Turks during this time, which greatly affected his judgment ability. Fortunately, although he was nervous, the civil and military officials below were not led astray by the emperor's mood, and they still acted as usual.

This kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Empress Dowager Xigong naturally wants to do her best to seize it, but she has no choice but to be unable to do so, and she doesn't know what is going on during this time, and the heart attack is getting more and more serious.

She had some heart problems before entering the palace, but she didn't have frequent attacks, and she was born as a young lady of the family, so her body and bones were well recuperated, but it was not in the way, and she never had an accident even after giving birth to two princes.

The only time the illness occurred was after Jing Qianjing was ordered to Ling Chi, he suffered a big blow for a while, and his body suddenly became much weaker. And this is also one of the reasons why she did not intercede with the emperor at the beginning, she has angina, it is not easy for her to reluctantly make a look of eating fast and reciting Buddha, let her go to kneel on the ground, I am afraid that Jing Qianjing will not be able to save her, not to mention, and will put herself in, then it is really worth the loss.

But since then, she has begun to care very much about her heart disease, although this kind of pain, even the doctor is not able to solve it, but she has tried to be as careful as possible.

It's just that I don't know if it's because I'm old or what's going on, my heart disease has also worsened over the years, but she thinks it's because she's old, although she feels a pity, but there's nothing she can do. But in the past few months, the heart disease has become more and more severe, and although she has not been able to become a good doctor for a long time, she has gained some experience.

But looking back on it, I don't think there is anything wrong with this period of time, except for Jing Qianming's child becoming demented, nothing has changed. The Empress Dowager Xigong was immersed in her thoughts for a while, and it was not until the old lady next to her called her a few times that she reacted.

"Queen Mother, it's time for dinner."

The Empress Dowager Xigong was in a trance for a while, and then she came to her senses, hesitated for a while, and realized that it was already dinner time. Not wanting that she had been thinking about it for so long, she sat up from the chaise longue, feeling that her stomach was empty, and before she knew it, she was already a little hungry, so she asked them to bring dinner as soon as possible.

The Queen Mother's dinner was naturally prepared in advance, put aside to warm up, and waited for a summons. After a while, all the palace maids put dishes on the table one after another.

One of the palace maids, holding her head high, put the dishes in her hand in front of the Queen Mother of the West Palace, with a proud face.

What she brought was the boiled pork slices that were most loved by the Queen Mother in recent days.

Since the Empress Dowager Xigong ate it for the first time a few months ago, she can't put it down and has to eat it once a day. This dish from Sichuan and Shu is not common in the palace, so everyone is also curious about what this dish loved by the Queen Mother of the West Palace is like. And beside the Empress Dowager Xigong, they naturally have more opportunities to taste this delicacy.

I have to admit that this is indeed a delicious delicacy, but the taste is a little too spicy, but there is also some spicy taste in the palace, but it does not taste like this. Although everyone thinks it is delicious, they don't dare to eat too much, basically they eat a dozen bites, and they can't stand the spicy and go back to drink tea.

But the Queen Mother of the West Palace is completely different, she eats this dish every time, not to mention, and eats it every day, and the old lady is also worried about whether it will affect the body and bones of the Queen Mother, so she specially invited the imperial doctor to take a look. But the imperial doctor said that as long as the queen mother ate like this but did not have diarrhea, and her stomach was not affected, then it would not be tight.

So the Empress Dowager Xigong didn't care even more.

But today, she didn't pick up the chopsticks immediately, but hesitated for a long time and asked, "When did the mourning family start eating this dish?" ”

The little eunuch on the side stepped forward and said, "If you go back to Niangniang, it will be after the New Year." ”

After the New Year? She also gradually remembered, that is, not long after she started eating, this heart disease became more and more serious, she didn't associate the two things together, but now, it seems that there is some connection.

She put down her chopsticks and said, "Go, call the cook who made this dish for the mourning family." ”

Everyone thought that the Queen Mother of the West Palace was going to praise this cook again, and they were envious and jealous in their hearts, but the Queen Mother's words were all spoken, and they could only find someone immediately.

After not wanting the cook to come over happily, the Empress Dowager Xigong said with a gloomy face: "You are so bold, say, did you drug the mourning family in this dish!" ”

Where did the cook go through these things, knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously and said: "The Queen Mother spares her life, how dare the little one drugged the dishes, these dishes are made by the people in your palace with three or four pairs of eyes staring at the little one, how can the little one be drugged." ”

The Empress Dowager Xigong also understood that she was in a hurry, as the Empress Dowager, if she drugged the food, it would be too stupid, and the little eunuch next to her who tried it was also good, so it shouldn't be.

Thinking of this, her face softened a little, and she continued to ask: "The mourning family is a little strange, why is it the first time that the mourning family has eaten this boiled pork slice in the palace for so many years?" ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's mood seemed to be better, and she didn't want to make trouble for herself, the cook also took a long breath and replied tremblingly: "If the Empress Dowager will be in the future, this dish is from Sichuan and Shu, and it is not common in the capital. There are very few ladies in the palace who come from there, so there are no cooks from there in the imperial dining room. Even if there is, the spicy taste of that place is too strong, and most people don't like it, and they will only stay in the Niangniang Palace from Sichuan Shu, so it makes sense that the Queen Mother couldn't eat it before. ”

"So, you're from Sichuan?" The Empress Dowager Xigong seemed to be relieved.
