Chapter Seventy-Three: Mastering Life and Death

Xiao Lizi's official uniform is added, and it starts with the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager Xue.

Since Tang Siqi asked Xiao Lizi to privately investigate the corruption of Mr. Zheng, Xiao Lizi has not been idle for a moment to secretly verify and collect evidence.

As the chief eunuch, Manager Zheng is not aware of it at the moment, and he is busy arranging the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager Xue every day, and the small abacus in his heart is playing loudly, many officials in the court and China are looking for the chief manager, for the seating arrangement on the day of the birthday banquet, everyone wants to be closer to the queen mother and the emperor, the purpose is to get the attention of the queen mother and the emperor.

For this matter, many ministers stuffed a lot of silver privately into Mr. Zheng, and Mr. Zheng also ranked all the adults according to the amount of silver, except for Xiao Man and the right prime minister, Mr. Zheng did not dare to offend, and the others Mr. Zheng did not pay attention to it.

But the heavens are not beautiful, the birthday banquet that Manager Zheng painstakingly arranged and planned was ruined by a sudden heavy rain, which not only ruined the birthday banquet, but also made the Empress Dowager Xue sick, Tang Siqi not only contracted the wind and cold because of this negligence, but also made his mother lose her health and contracted a vicious disease because of this negligence, which had to make Tang Siqi angry with Manager Zheng.

At this time, Xiao Lizi seized the opportunity and presented all the evidence he had collected, Tang Siqi was very annoyed when he saw it, and what made him even more angry was that this birthday banquet turned out to be a cash cow for Mr. Zheng!

All the anger gathered together, and finally broke out in Tang Siqi's chest, the new hatred and old hatred were counted together, and Manager Zheng was quickly taken off his official hat, and he was no longer the chief manager.

And this did not make Tang Siqi happy, and then ordered to burn his hair, pull out his nails, and have people cut off his feet with a clamping stick, lock him in the dungeon, threaten the lives of his family, prevent him from killing himself, but never let him out.

All the family properties managed by Mr. Zheng were handed over to the state treasury, and his place was replaced by Xiao Lizi, who was able to do things well, and Xiao Lizi became what he is today.

Xiao Lizi brought good news, but Tang Siqi looked uninterested, and he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, just sat beside his mother.

"It's all a group of quacks, let him go, don't come to upset the widow!" Tang Siqi didn't think this was good news at all, now he was in deep despair, and most of the thoughts when he guarded his mother were how to take over the entire country alone.

If Empress Dowager Xue died, Tang Siqi would not talk about playing chess and drinking tea, maybe even if he dealt with government affairs without sleep, the ministers might not be completely convinced of him.

Empress Dowager Xue was hindered by her son's short time on the throne and his foundation was still shallow, so there were many things that were not handed over to him, but now it is a little too late.

Tang Siqi asked Xiao Lizi to drive away the people who unveiled the imperial list, but the people who uncovered the imperial list came uninvited.

"If there is a glimmer of hope, won't the Holy One give it a try?" Hearing the familiar voice, Tang Siqi was a little stunned, and when he looked back, it was none other than Xiao Wanyao standing outside the dormitory.

Xiao Wanyao is wearing a pale pink dress, which makes people look only quiet, not elegant, now that Empress Dowager Xue is sick, Xue Qingyi and Tang Siqi take turns to wait, the emperor is in such a mood, naturally she can neither see festive things nor unlucky things.

Looking at Xiao Wanyao's pink color again, it is also appropriate.

Tang Siqi didn't know why Xiao Wanyao came, and when he saw her holding the imperial list in her hand, he couldn't help but wonder, so he said: "Wanyao, you shouldn't come at this time, go back!" ”

Xiao Wanyao's eyes were as calm as water: "The top priority is to reduce the fever for the Queen Mother, only when the fever is reduced, the Queen Mother will have the strength to carry the follow-up treatment, now please move the main hall first!?" Wan Yao wants to diagnose the pulse of the Queen Mother. ”

Tang Siqi was a little inexplicable, he obviously asked her to go back, why didn't she ask for anything, but asked him to go out?

Suddenly remembered that she was slightly similar to Qi Huang's technique, but she also knew that she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she had not even received formal education since she was a child, so how could she take on such a big responsibility? Xiao Wanyao in Tang Siqi's eyes is like this, perhaps because she is smart and clever, so she has read a few more medical books to have today's little achievements.

Her medical skills are enough to treat minor illnesses and disasters, and there should be nothing she can do to deal with Empress Dowager Xue's illness.

Whether it is a doctor in the rivers and lakes, the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital has nothing to do, with her a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, how can she say that she is the "glimmer of hope"?

"Wan Yao, you go back, this is not a place for you to mess around!" Although Tang Siqi likes Xiao Wanyao, he doesn't want her to cause trouble here at the moment, after all, he is facing a lot of trouble now.

"Xiao Lizi, go to the imperial dining room and ask for a jar of burning knives, if not, other liquor can also be used." Xiao Wanyao didn't pay any attention to Tang Siqi, he didn't listen to a word of his words, this kind of ignorance made Tang Siqi a little unbearable, and he was already a little annoyed at Xiao Wanyao.

"Your Majesty, you go back and rest first, the mourning family wants to talk to Miss Xiao Er." Now it was Empress Dowager Xue who had just woken up, she heard all the conversations between Tang Siqi and Xiao Wanyao, Xiao Wanyao's momentum was different from the past, which made her very curious about what Xiao Wanyao had planned.

Tang Siqi forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said "yes" to the Empress Dowager Xue obediently, and then glanced at Xiao Wanyao deeply, and Xiao Wanyao was not afraid of him, and looked back at him with alienation in his eyes.

Tang Siqi finally left, and Xiao Lizi obediently went to the imperial dining room to get wine, and Empress Dowager Xue dismissed the people who served in the palace, so only the two of them were left in the palace.

In this life, without the early treatment of the "Divine Doctor Ghost Hand" Imperial Doctor Tong, Empress Dowager Xue may not be able to last so long in this life.

Xiao Wanyao knew that Empress Dowager Xue had such a catastrophe in her life, but she did not move for seven consecutive days, which was out of a very clear purpose.

And Xiao Wanyao has three purposes.

The first is to verify the diagnosis of Imperial Doctor Tong back then, although Imperial Doctor Tong had the intention to treat Empress Dowager Xue, his health became worse and worse, and he was also weak later. It wasn't until later when Xiao Wanyao served Empress Dowager Xue that she had the opportunity to come into contact with the notes left by her master about Empress Dowager Xue's condition.

What Master meant at that time was that Empress Dowager Xue had a tumor on her body, which competed with other organs in her body for nutrients, causing her organs to begin to fail, thereby accelerating her death, and this process would make people's bodies weaker and weaker, and once they were infected, it would be difficult to recover.

This is why Empress Dowager Xue's illness will appear after a heavy rain.

Xiao Wanyao was worried that this rain would not cause Empress Dowager Xue's hidden illness, so she had to wait until she was sure that Empress Dowager Xue was indeed a disease she knew about before making plans.

Second, because pulling out the tumor is not an easy thing, you must find a good time, the timing is very important here, from now on Xiao Wanyao still has to wait, because there is no way to break the lesion if it is removed too early, and it will soon recur in a few days, and the blood vessels and blood vessels will grow on it after the removal is late, and the forced excision will cause heavy bleeding, but if you don't remove it, you can only wait for death.

The tumor on Empress Dowager Xue's leg is still in its early stages, even if Empress Dowager Xue nods now, Xiao Wanyao still has to continue to wait, but for this different, Xiao Wanyao has enough patience to wait.

The third is because Xiao Wanyao wants them to try all the methods to no avail, so that she can increase her bargaining chips, so that after she cures Empress Dowager Xue's illness, she can successfully obtain the holy decree to leave the palace.

No one wants to gamble with a person's life like this, Xiao Wanyao doesn't want to, she never thought that she would use her medical skills to exchange for anything for herself, medical skills were originally used to save lives and help the injured, this naΓ―ve idea Xiao Wanyao kept it until she was designed by Xiao Wanrou and entered the palace.

"The mourning family knows that Qingyi's illness was cured by you, and you also know that you are not a simple girl, and you have the ability...... Now he takes the initiative to save the old bone of the mourning family...... You must have a picture, right!? Empress Dowager Xue closed her eyes lightly, and her thin face made people look sad.

Xiao Wanyao looked at the Empress Dowager Xue with a faint smile, and said in a low voice: "I can't hide anything from the Empress Dowager's eyes, Wanyao does have a plan, but now is not the time to say it, at least wait for the Empress Dowager's condition to stabilize before making plans, what Wan Yao asks for is also what the Empress Dowager wants, so ......"

Xiao Wanyao's smile became brighter and brighter: "The Queen Mother can recuperate with peace of mind, when the time comes, Wanyao will propose it." ”

Empress Dowager Xue closed her eyes, calm as water on the surface, but in her heart she had a lot of thoughts.

What is the origin of this Xiao Wanyao? What exactly does she want?

Although she said that she would help herself heal first, and then talk about the conditions, this was clearly threatening her own life!

"When Wei and Zhao were at war, you returned to Xiao Man's Prime Minister's Mansion, and when Zhao was about to lose a city, you entered the palace again...... The mourning family thinks that you are a fine work sent by Zhao Guo! Empress Dowager Xue's voice was not loud, but it was full of ruthlessness, if it was someone else, she would definitely kneel down and say that she was innocent, but Xiao Wanyao did not, she was still standing not far in front of the bed, affectionate and indifferent.

"Is the Queen Mother sick and confused? must impose so many coincidences on Wan Yao, now Wan Yao is here, just to be kind to the Queen Mother to heal, and at the same time to seek some benefits for herself, if it is really like the Queen Mother said, Wan Yao is Zhao Guo's meticulous work, Wan Yao does not have to heal the Queen Mother...... You know, once the Queen Mother is gone, there will be a lot of turmoil in Wei, right!? The saint has just ascended the throne not long ago, and has not yet made some political achievements that can convince the ministers, and when the people in the court are unstable, Zhao Guo has a lot of opportunities to recapture the lost city, and it is not possible to obtain greater benefits from it at that time, why does Wan Yao take the initiative to come to save the Empress Dowager Xue and give Wei a chance!? Xiao Wanyao's words were clear, neither humble nor arrogant.

What Xiao Wanyao said was reasonable, and Empress Dowager Xue knew that she was thinking too much, perhaps because she had become a lot more sensitive in the past few days, and she was thinking too much. R1154
