"Don't you know? Just now, when the doctor came to check the pulse, he said that you were pregnant, and it has been almost a month. If you kneel for half an hour more today, I am afraid that this child will not be able to be saved. The eldest princess said again.

Concubine Yun was grateful when she heard this, and tried to get up and thank you. The eldest princess stopped her and said, "What are you doing?" Lie down. ”

"The concubine also asked the eldest princess to save people to the end and save the child's life." Concubine Yun is a smart person, and she knows that if she doesn't catch the eldest princess at this time, I'm afraid that the future will not be too easy.

She has suffered herself, but now that she has a child, she can't ignore the child.

"Didn't this kid's life be saved?" The eldest princess asked puzzled.

Concubine Yun sighed, plucked up her courage and said, "At this time, it is saved, but what can I do?" Doesn't the eldest princess know? In this palace, except for the prince Yan Long, the children of the other concubines have all fallen. Last year, Concubine Xiao's children were all one year old, and they fell into the water when they fell into the water, and Concubine Xian had a miscarriage after only two months of pregnancy. This pile, do the eldest princesses really think they are all accidents? ”

"This, is it true that someone is plotting to kill the emperor's heir, who is so bold?" When the eldest princess heard this, she couldn't help but think about it carefully.

She thought for a while and said: "That's it, don't talk about your pregnancy, you can come to live in Pixia Palace these days, this palace wants to see who is so bold and dares to come to Pixia Palace to murder the emperor's heir!" ”

In this way, the mourning family gave birth to the emperor in the Pixia Palace. Half a year later, the eldest princess got married, and you married with the princess to the Beixuan Palace. Mama Liu, do you remember what the last words the eldest princess said to the mourning family on the day she got married? The Queen Mother looked at Mama Liu sincerely and asked.

Mama Liu thought about it and said, "The slave doesn't remember." ”

She said: "Concubine Yun, in this harem, if you really want to protect the safety of your mother and son, please often go to the mother's harem to accompany my mother more." ””

"The emperor was cold to me, and he didn't like Xiang'er. If it weren't for the protection of the eldest princess and the queen mother, the mourning family and the emperor would not have the current life. Mama Liu, the mourning family also has to thank you, if you hadn't invited the eldest princess in time, the mourning family would have to kneel and die outside the Buddhist hall, one corpse and two lives. ”

"Where is the Queen Mother?" Mama Liu said that she didn't want to reminisce about the past, and she knew that the Queen Mother's words were just to make herself feel better when she said other things.

"The people in the palace said that the Queen Mother had a headache recently, and the slave maid should give the Queen Mother acupuncture!" Mama Liu said again.

"Mama, the headache of the mourning family can't be cured by acupuncture." The Queen Mother stood up and walked back and forth in the dormitory twice.

Mama Liu didn't dare to be rude, so she had to stand up and follow the figure of the Queen Mother, and her body circled in place in the direction of the Queen Mother.

For a long time, the Queen Mother didn't speak, just went back and forth, and Mama Liu didn't dare to speak, so she could only move with her.

Finally, the Queen Mother spoke: "The mourning family asks you, what is the matter between the emperor and the king of Beixuan?" ”

"The slave doesn't know this." Mama Liu replied. The question she had been thinking about was finally answered.

The Queen Mother has not summoned her to the palace for many years, why did she call her today, she didn't look for so many imperial doctors in the palace, how could she let her come to acupuncture.

It turned out that she wanted to know the identity of the Beixuan King, but she finally noticed it. A smart person is a smart person in the end, otherwise she would not have grown step by step from a palace maid in the imperial dining room to the current queen mother.

"I don't know, Mama, can you tell the truth to the mourning family?" The Queen Mother said: "Look at the current emperor, how good he is to the King of Beixuan." Do you know what is happening in the palace right now? The emperor has a habit of breaking sleeves and likes the king of Beixuan. ”

"I'm afraid this is groundless, the Queen Mother can't be trusted!" Mama Liu hurriedly said.

"The mourning family knows whether it is credible or not, the son born to the mourning family, will he not know whether he likes men or women?" The Queen Mother said again.

Mama Liu stopped talking. The Queen Mother looked at her and said: "But Mama Liu, the emperor is now in every kind of favor to the King of Beixuan, what is in the palace, he sent it to the Beixuan Palace, and what is not in the palace, he tried his best to send it to the King of Beixuan." Now there is no one inside and outside the court who is not talking about the emperor and the king of Beixuan, do you think this is good for the king of Beixuan? Does it have no effect on him? ”

"Mama Liu, just tell the identity of the king of Beixuan of the mourning family, no matter how you say that the mourning family is also the aunt of Beitang, the eldest princess saved my life, and the mourning family will not harm him."

"Queen Mother, the King of Beixuan is the King of Beixuan you see, and he has no other identity." Mama Liu still insisted on not telling the truth.

"Mama Liu, do you think you can hide it? The people sent by the mourning family can see it clearly! There are blood stains on the clothes and pants of the King of Beixuan, which only women can stay, and it is a woman's monthly letter. "The Queen Mother is pressing step by step.

Mama Liu was helpless, closed her eyes and sighed and said: "Queen Mother, it's not that the slave maid deliberately concealed it, it's just that the slave maid swore in front of the old prince that she wouldn't tell the matter, and all this is also for the sake of Da Jiang!"

"Now that rumors are spreading, do you think this is also for Da Jiang?" The Queen Mother asked rhetorically.

Aunt Xu stepped forward and said to Mama Liu: "Mama, just tell the truth, the Queen Mother will not harm the King of Beixuan, and now in this situation, I am afraid it will be too late if I don't save it." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Mama Liu's still unmoved appearance, and finally had no choice. She walked up to Mama Liu, took her hand and said, "Mama, it's a mourner begging you." ”

Saying that she was about to kneel, Mama Liu hurriedly supported her when she saw this, and said, "Queen Mother, this can't be helped, how can the old slave stand it." ”

"Mama, now rumors are spreading, the frontier is unstable, the ministers are disobedient, and the emperor is also exhausted! The mourning family begs you for this big ginger country. ”

Mama Liu looked at the Queen Mother and said: "Queen Mother, why do you have to do this, if I tell this matter today, I am afraid that the old slave under Jiuquan will not be able to meet the old prince again." ”

The Queen Mother didn't say anything, but looked at her with a firm face. Mama Liu knew that the Queen Mother was bound to win today.

It seems that there are some things that she can't do if she doesn't say it.

Mama Liu said slowly: "Does the Queen Mother remember the death of the county lord of Beishang back then? ”

Of course, the mourning family remembered that Beishang was only eight or nine years old at that time! Ay! Poor child. The Queen Mother sighed.

Suddenly, she thought of something, looked at Mama Liu in shock, grabbed her arm and asked, "Beishang, Beitang, isn't it?" ”

Mama Liu nodded suddenly.

"What the hell is going on here?" The Queen Mother asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, sit down first, and wait for the old slave to come to you slowly." Mama Liu helped the Queen Mother to the chair.

Then he said: "That was when the prince and the county lord were only eight years old, and the Beixuan King's family was in the border city. One day, the eldest princess took them to the street to play, and the little princess saw a man selling rock sugar gourds and had to buy a bunch. ”

The minions didn't pay much attention to it, so they went over and bought two skewers for the county lord and the prince to eat. At that time, the old slave was blamed for being too careless. Mama Liu said that she couldn't help but blame herself.

"I just thought it was just some children's food, and I didn't taste it for the prince and the county lord. Alas, poor these two children. Because he ate a string of rock sugar gourds, he caused trouble. ”

"After returning home, the prince and the county lord cried and cried that their stomachs hurt, and the eldest princess was so anxious that she invited a medical officer to come and see them, saying that the two children were poisoned."

"On weekdays, all the meals of the masters in the Beixuan Palace's mansion are eaten only after the slaves and maids have tasted them. But none of us cared about the two strings of rock sugar gourds. Mama Liu's remorse couldn't be hidden.

"The eldest princess and the king of Beixuan are very anxious, and the king of Beixuan sent someone to investigate, but Xiao Si, who sold rock sugar gourds, has already fled from the city."

The two children were so painful that they fainted. The king of Beixuan ordered all the medical officers in the city to come to the palace to heal the prince and the lord of the county. Everyone was helpless. ”

"No one can cure the poison. The eldest princess was grief-stricken and fell ill, and in just a few days, the Beixuan Royal Mansion fell into a desperate situation. ”

Later, a Taoist priest came to the house, looked at the prince and the county lord and said: "The poison in the prince and the county lord is the world's strange poison and intestine breaking flower, if the person who is poisoned by this poison does not find the antidote within seven days, he will die of liver and intestines." ””

Mama Liu fell into deep memories: King Beixuan asked eagerly: "Dare to ask Dao Chang, what is the antidote to this?" ”

The man stroked his beard and replied, "The antidote is easy to match, but this medicine is extremely difficult to find." ”

The eldest princess asked, "Why is the medicine so precious, don't I have it in the royal family of Jiang Kingdom?" ”

The Dao Chang shook his head and said, "This medicine is the lotus heart of a snow lotus on Tianzhu Mountain. However, this Tianzhu Mountain is extremely steep, and the snow lotus is extremely difficult to pick, and this lotus heart needs to have grown into a shape, and the whole body is snow-white and does not contain a little impurity. Not every snow lotus has it. I'm afraid that there may not be one in a thousand. ”

"Is there no other way then?" The eldest princess wiped her tears and asked.

"I'm afraid there is no other way." The chief shook his head and replied.

The eldest princess walked up to the Taoist chief, saluted and said, "Please also ask the Taoist to save the lives of my two children, and Jinyang will definitely reward him heavily." ”

The Taoist chief hurriedly helped her up and said, "The eldest princess doesn't need to be polite, you and the King of Beixuan have been stationed on the frontier all year round to protect the peace of my Jiang country." He is a great hero who can let the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"Although the poor road is a monk, but also knows the righteousness of the family and the country, if you can save the son and the county lord, it is also a good deed of the poor road, so why say thank you. It's just this snow lotus... ”

The king of Beixuan stepped forward and said, "This king will immediately set out to pick snow lotus, and there will be a long time for the Taoist to stay in the house for a few more days, waiting for this king to return."

Then he walked up to the eldest princess and said, "Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, for the sake of our children, this king must also go to Tianzhu Mountain." Today is the fourth day, and I will be back in three days. Don't go out these days, take care of your home. ”

The eldest princess looked at the prince, now that the situation is like this, all she can say is: "Be careful, go and come back quickly." ”

In this way, the king of Beixuan left the palace. The eldest princess couldn't eat for a few days, and she couldn't sleep at night. She accompanies the prince and the county lord inch by the side.

Alas, the old prince has been guarding the frontier all the year round, and the people of the border countries are very afraid of him. The Di people can't burn and loot at the border, so they will naturally take revenge on the old prince. But no one expected them to be so ruthless that they would attack two children. They are going to cut off the queen of the North Vortex King! Mama Liu sighed and said.

Three days later, the King of the North Spinning returned.

He searched for three days on Tianzhu Mountain before he found a snow lotus.
