Before leaving, Shanbao approached Zu Gonglu, hoping that he would pardon the capital crime of the county lord of Xi'an.
In the Qianzheng Palace, Zu Gongluo was looking at the music handed by the officials in Beijing, this one is about the drought in Henan Province, that one is about the Yellow River in Shandong, the other is about the locust plague in Shu, and the other is about the southern Xinjiang barbarians erected the banner of rebellion, pile by pile, none of them is gratifying, Zu Gong slightly pressed the forehead, a little tired, heard Shanbao say to pardon the capital crime of the lord of Xi'an, he threw the fold in his hand on the Longshu case, and said coldly: "I almost died in her hands, this woman is vicious, and it is also a disaster to stay, No pardon. ”
His decision was really beyond Shanbao's expectations, he felt that the grandfather after being the emperor was like a demon possession, ruthless and cruel, if the Xi'an county lord was a force at that time, how could he have survived, don't say that his hands were tied, the Xi'an county lord is good at kung fu, not that he is no longer a cousin, the love is difficult to let go, he is alive, but the Xi'an county lord is going to die, Shanbao feels that he has harmed the Xi'an county lord in disguise, and wants to argue with reason, seeing the new chief eunuch Zhang Sihe secretly waved his hand, Shanbao swallowed the words back, I went back to Zhaoyang Palace in a depressed mood.
Without waiting to sit firmly on the kang, Zhu Yu came in and reported: "Niangniang, the Empress Dowager invited Niangniang to come over to talk." ”
The Empress Dowager was frightened by the hijacking of the lord of Xi'an, and from the toss of the capital to here, fell ill in the kang, when the doctor was helpless, the grandfather slightly let people find Shanxi, the two medicines The Empress Dowager is in good health, and she is quite appreciative of Shanxi, and even wants her grandfather to summon Shanxia into the main hospital, but Shanxii refuses on the grounds of old age, and the Empress Dowager heard that Shanbao also understands medical skills, so she came to her to talk.
Shanbao once heard about the Empress Dowager when she was young, swept away all obstacles in the harem and became the queen mother and became the queen mother, and now she is the empress dowager, so Shanbao is slightly wary of this old lady, she asked Shanbao to answer, she didn't ask, Shanbao had nothing to say.
For a while, there was some embarrassment in the room.
The Empress Dowager twisted the red coral Buddha beads in her hand, raised her sparse eyebrows and looked at Shanbao, and then said kindly: "What is the queen stuffed in her heart?" ”
Shanbao raised his head suddenly, and smiled reluctantly: "The ancestor has a lot of heart, I don't have anything to worry about." ”
The Empress Dowager beckoned to her: "Come and sit beside the mourning family." ”
Shanbao only walked over obediently and sat cautiously beside the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager looked down at her pair of delicate hands like condensation, and exclaimed: "In the end, there is no place that is not good-looking." ”
Shanbao was in order to please the old man, and said: "The ancestor is also good-looking. ”
The Empress Dowager slowly shook her head and smiled: "Old man, of course she looks good when she is young, but if a woman, especially a harem woman, wants to be favored, it is not enough to be good-looking, she must be smart." ”
Shanbao sensed that there was something in her words and asked, "Ancestor Jue, how can I be wise?" ”
The Empress Dowager patted the back of her hand lightly, and said earnestly: "Only four words, Ming Zhe protects himself." ”
Shanbao didn't want to fall out with the Empress Dowager again because of the experience of having a quarrel with the Emperor Taishang, although he didn't dare to agree with her statement, and he didn't refute it, but said lightly: "Is there still a killing of his wife and begging for a general." ”
Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager immediately said: "If there is a need, it is completely possible." ”
Shanbao's heart sank, and he suddenly remembered that Wu Zetian strangled his daughter to death in order to frame Queen Wang, the harem, like a slaughterhouse, was so terrifying.
Seeing that her ruddy face was slightly pale, the Empress Dowager knew that she was scared, and said patiently: "There is only one task for women in the palace, that is, to please the emperor, and leave the affairs of the court to the men, and with the emperor's grace, you can sit back and relax, because the world is owned by the emperor, and of course the harem is also the emperor." ”
Shanbao played with her words, guessed her intentions, and asked, "Does the ancestor know that I went to the Qianzheng Palace?" ”
The Empress Dowager smiled so that the corners of her eyes were full of crow's feet, like a blooming chrysanthemum, and she always spoke so slowly: "It's too small to hear about some things." ”
Now that he already knows, Shanbao doesn't need to hide it, and continues to ask: "The old ancestor thinks that the county lord of Xi'an deserves to die?" ”
The Empress Dowager asked rhetorically: "Why does the queen feel that she is leaving Xi'an, and she really summons her concubines into the palace to compete for favor with the queen?" ”
Shanbao pursed his lips and lost his words.
The Empress Dowager continued to twist the Buddha beads, ignoring the mixed thoughts of the good treasure, and did not disturb her.
A palace maid walked in with a tray in her hand, and there were a few rose preserves on the plate, and the palace maid first bent her knees to give Shanbao a salute, and then came to the Empress Dowager and knelt down, raising the tray above her head with both hands, and the Empress Dowager put a candied fruit in her mouth, and said to Shanbao on a wall: "Recently, the mouth has been bitter, and it has to be alleviated by these." ”
Shanbao looked at the face of the Empress Dowager seriously, and said to the Empress Dowager: "I'll take the pulse of the old ancestor." ”
The Empress Dowager knew that she knew medical skills, so she obediently handed her her arm.
Shanbao probed for a long time and said, "The ancestor likes to eat candied fruit, wait until I make a candied fruit for the ancestor that can completely solve the bitterness of the mouth." ”
The Empress Dowager frowned: "Then my body?" ”
People are old, the stomach and intestines are inevitably not good, the queen mother is even more pampered and used to rarely walking, and the accumulation of food causes constipation, but Shanbao has more eyes, feeling that this disease is indecent, I am afraid that the queen mother does not like to listen, so he said: "The ancestor is fine, the mouth is bitter, and it is easy to solve." ”
She did what she said, and when she went back, she asked people to buy some red fruits from the street outside, and used the red fruits as the main ingredient, soaked them in salt for half an hour, and then filtered the salt with water, put them in a pot, and cooked them with sugar water.
The prepared red fruit candied fruit was sent to the Queen Mother, and the old man ate it for a few days, and sure enough, the abdominal distension was eliminated, and the bitterness of the mouth was gone.
The Empress Dowager found a doctor to ask, and the doctor replied honestly that red fruit has the effect of eliminating food.
The Empress Dowager smiled meaningfully, this queen is very smart, but why did she ask the emperor to pardon the lord of Xi'an? Although it can't be said that the tiger is returning to the mountain, it is not a good thing, so the Empress Dowager found Shanbao and decided to ask for details.
Shanbao said bluntly: "If I hadn't told the county lord of Xi'an that she was not the daughter of King Chen, and then subdued her, how could she be arrested, and she wouldn't have died, and she wasn't a great crime, I feel uneasy." ”
After the empress dowager knew what was going on, she sighed: "How can you be invincible in the harem with such a heart, sooner or later, the emperor will have countless concubines." ”
Shanbao's face was cold, and he was cold to his heart. (To be continued.) )
