"Old lady, please calm your anger." Doctor Xu persuaded softly: "You are already in good health, and now you are in a hurry, if you can't recuperate with peace of mind, once you hurt your lungs, then Zining will be unable to do anything about what you have learned all your life." ”

The old lady of the palace was shocked to realize that she had lost her usual dignified demeanor for a while, so she took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart, instantly returned to her usual kind and gentle face, and waved her hand to signal everyone to retreat, leaving only Xu Zining and the four personal maids.

Glancing sideways at Xiangcui, Xiangcui would carry the brocade box to the inner room.

The old lady of the palace here held Xu Zining's hand, hid her inner sorrow and annoyance, and said kindly: "Thanks to you today, otherwise the old body will be explained, you are really a lucky star sent by God to the old body." ”

More than a year ago, she suddenly fell ill, and the doctors in the entire Jiuyuan County were helpless, seeing that she was dying, the housekeeper suddenly brought this Xu Zining.

Xu Zining was born in a small village in Guangling County, not far from Jiuyuan County, and it is said that his family has practiced medicine for generations, and Xu Zining has been learning medicine with his father since he was a child.

Hearing that the family of the Dong Mansion said that Xu Zining cured the old man Dong's old illness, the housekeeper invited Xu Zining to the palace.

Originally, she and her son didn't believe that even doctors who had been practicing medicine for decades could not do anything about a serious disease, and a yellow-haired girl from the countryside would have a way.

But facts speak louder than words, seven days later, her evil disease was not only cured, but also her head was no longer dizzy, her eyes were no longer dizzy, and her whole person seemed to be as refreshed as if she was more than ten years younger, which shows that Xu Zining's medical skills are outstanding.

After that, she sent someone to secretly investigate Xu Zining, proving that Xu Zining was indeed innocent, and well-behaved and sensible, she always regretted that she didn't have a daughter and granddaughter, she liked it very much, so she would invite Xu Zining to come to the palace as a guest every once in a while, and gradually gave her trust, and privately hoped that Xu Zining would become the hero's wife and her granddaughter-in-law, so she took Xu Zining to the palace three months before the hero came back.

"The old lady is serious." Xu Zining smiled and said apologetically: "It is Zining's job to help the world and save people, not to mention that the old lady is very good to Zining, but Zining has failed to cure the prince's old illness, and she is really ashamed and uneasy." ”

Gently patted the back of Xu Zining's hand, and the old lady of the palace said with a kind face: "It's none of your business, the prince is already sick and useless, you don't need to blame yourself, by the way, Zining, how old are you this year?" ”

"Back to the old lady, Zining just turned eighteen years old."

"Have you ever been married or married?"

When Xu Zining heard this, a faint crimson appeared on her beautiful face, and she lowered her head slightly and said shyly: "Not yet." ”

"Great."

The old lady of the palace crossed a strange dark light of calculation in her eyes, and saw Xu Zining suddenly raised her head and looked at herself in confusion, busy withdrawing the strange look on her face and eyes, and pretended to inquire kindly: "The old body felt very suitable for the eyes when I saw you for the first time, and after more than a year of getting along, you are not only knowledgeable and gentle and careful, but also have extraordinary medical skills, and the old body is more and more fond of it, always thinking about how good it would be if you were the granddaughter-in-law of the old body, but I don't know if you are willing?" ”

"Old lady......" Xu Zining lowered her head shyly, her white cheeks were flushed with rose red, as pure and charming as a hibiscus out of the water under the sun, and her song-like voice made people fascinated: "But isn't the son of the world missing?" ”

Although Gong Yuanhao completely blocked the news, the people in the palace, including Xu Zining, who stayed in the room all day to study medical skills, still heard some rumors.

"The old body is not talking about Yingjie."

"Huh?" Xu Zining couldn't care about being shy, and looked up at the old lady of the palace suspiciously: Could it be that the old lady still has a grandson?

The old lady of the palace, who noticed that she had lost her words for a while, pretended to cough: "The old man is talking about heroes." ”

When Xu Zining heard this, the crimson on his face instantly condensed and then disappeared, and his lips kept moving for a while before he stammered: "Old ...... The old lady will not be ...... Is it a must...... Zi Ning ......, "Underworld marriage, right?"

Obviously, the old lady of the palace meant exactly this, and held Xu Zining's hand tightly to prevent her from escaping: "Zining will listen to the old man finish speaking." Although Yingjie has outstanding appearance, he is indecisive and difficult to become a big weapon, and the prince is terminally ill and dying soon, and the old body is just using them to block the open guns and arrows for the most beloved grandson hero, and in the end it will only be the hero who will be honored by the Ninety-Five, and you are the best queen candidate recognized by the old body. ”

Although the four of Xiangcui had long known the thoughts of the old lady of the Dao Palace, they did not expect that the old lady would want Miss Xu to marry the second son, and they were all stunned for a while.

"But the second son, he ......" Xu Zining was also shocked.

"It's hateful that Mu Qingyun actually killed the hero and ruined the hope of the old body, and the old body will never give up!" The old lady of the palace had a cold and cold face, and her eyes flashed with bloodthirsty killing intent and a certain crazy hint: "Even if there is no son and a grandson dies, it doesn't matter to the old body, as long as the old body is still alive, sooner or later the Jin Kingdom will belong to the old body, and the old body is to let the world see, and women can also be in charge of the country!" ”

Xu Zining's eyes widened, and he looked at the old lady of the palace with a gloomy and arrogant expression, and his heart was inexplicably frightened.

It turns out that the old lady has this in mind! It's no wonder that he cares about the prince's condition on the surface, but he doesn't care about it, and he is even more indifferent to the disappearance of the prince.

"Ke Zining has just turned eighteen years old, and he doesn't want to keep it every day for a long life in the future...... Live widows! ”

"Confused!" Hearing the meaning of struggle and relaxation in Xu Zining's tone, the old lady of the palace had a smug smile on the corner of her lips for a moment: "Once you become the wife of a hero, you are a member of my palace family, and after a hundred years of old man, you will naturally be the rightful heir to the throne, at that time, you can have as many men as you want, whoever dares to stop you from opposing you, no one will dare to say a word if you are a member of the nine clans!" ”

Seeing that Xu Zining was still pale and hesitant, the old lady of the palace also knew that her words must have frightened her, after all, she was inevitably timid from the countryside, so she softened her tone a little: "The old body has already regarded you as his own person and will tell you this, and you can rest assured, as long as the old body is in the day, it will definitely protect you for a day, no one will want to touch you in the slightest, and it will also give your people endless glory and wealth!" ”

"But the Ninth Princess......"

"Don't talk to the old body about that cheap girl in Qingyun!"

Coldly interrupting Xu Zining's unfinished words, the old lady of the palace said secretly: "When the old man sits on the throne, he will definitely skin and cramp that cheap girl, so that her soul will fly and be annihilated forever!" I might as well tell you that the old body has more than the power of Jiuyuan County, and that cheap girl wants to defeat the old body, which is simply wishful thinking! ”

Listening to the rebellious words and deeds of the old lady of the palace, Xu Zining intuitively was covered in cold sweat, lowered his head, and clasped his hands on his knees, and whispered for a long time: "Old lady, after all, this matter is related to Zining's life, please allow Zining to think about it again, okay?" ”

"Tell the old lady ......"

The old lady of the palace opened her mouth and was about to say something, but the housekeeper suddenly ran over with a hurried look, bowed and trembled: "Just now the guards came to report, saying that the 200,000 troops that attacked Liyang County last night were all wiped out, and the prince was busy discussing countermeasures with the generals, and he really couldn't get away and go back to the house, so please ask the old lady to deal with it herself!" ”

"What did you say?"

The old lady of the palace was furious, and suddenly the housekeeper and Xiangcui were so frightened that they knelt heavily on the ground with a thud, while Xu Zining lowered his head and couldn't see clearly.

"His son died, and he, as a father, didn't come back to see his son's last glance to arrange the aftermath, and actually excused himself, is this what he should be like as a father? Does he still have an old body in his eyes? ”

"The prince said that the prince is still alive and well, and if anyone dares to wait for the opportunity to spread rumors and affect the situation in the city, the prince will ...... Punish mercilessly! After the butler finished speaking, the cold sweat that broke out all over his body had already soaked his clothes.

Suddenly stood up from the soft couch, the old lady of the palace's face became extremely ugly, and the temperature in the room dropped sharply to the freezing point with the gloomy cold air bursting out of her body: "Okay, good, this is a good son raised by the old man, and he doesn't even admit his own son, it's really good!" ”

The housekeeper and Xiangcui were all shocked, and they slandered in their hearts: From beginning to end, the prince didn't admit the second son at all.

"You go and tell the prince, if he doesn't return to the house immediately, the old body will ......"

The old lady of the palace was ordering the housekeeper, and suddenly noticed a hint of familiarity in the air, and couldn't help but say: "The old body will die to show him, so that the world can know how unfilial he is!" ”

"Old lady...... "If this matter is to be spread, the prince will be discredited!" The housekeeper and Xiangcui looked up at the old lady of the palace in unison.

"Don't go yet!" The old lady of the palace frowned, the housekeeper immediately got up and staggered away, the old lady of the palace waved her hand and said, "You also retreat, no one is allowed to come in without the order of the old body!" ”

"The slave (Zining) retires!" Glancing at the old lady of the palace without a trace, Xu Zining and Xiangcui exited the room and closed the door tightly.

Looking at the gray figure that suddenly appeared in the room, the old lady of the palace asked with a coquettish face, "Why did you come?" ”

The old man was about fifty years old, with thick eyebrows and a square face, although he was dusty, it did not affect his handsome demeanor at all, and a pair of bright eyes stared at the old lady of the palace, and asked without answering: "Is there something wrong with Xiong'er?" ”

"Yes!" The old lady of the palace did not hide it, and after leading the old man to the inner room, she pointed to the brocade box on the table and said sadly: "Our male is there!" ”

In the palace Yanqing Palace, the concubine reclined on the soft couch to enjoy the scenery in the courtyard.

"Why did your people kill those thousands of soldiers?"
