"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"

Xiao Fuzi panted all the way to the door of the Chen'an Palace, stopped to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead, and asked a little eunuch on duty outside the hall, "What is the Lord of Long Live doing now?" ”

The little eunuch replied: "Back to Father-in-law's words, Long Live Lord has just summoned a few princes to come over and inquire about the schoolwork, and is now resting on the bed!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Fuzi adjusted his breathing and walked into the Chen'an Hall with light steps.

Walking into the side hall, Xiaofuzi saw Zhang Lingyang lying on the bed by the window with his eyes closed, covered with a thin blanket.

Zhang Lingyang, who was pretending to be asleep, heard footsteps coming, so he opened his eyes and looked.

Seeing that it was Xiao Fuzi who walked into the hall softly, his expression seemed to be very flustered, so he asked, "Xiao Fuzi, but what is the matter?" ”

Seeing Zhang Lingyang wake up, Xiao Fuzi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Long live Lord, there was news from the White Horse Temple just now, saying that the Queen Mother suddenly fainted in the process of worshiping the Buddha!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang immediately sat up, looked at Xiao Fuzi and asked, "How is the Queen Mother doing now?" Have you ever sent a physician over? ”

Xiao Fuzi replied: "As soon as I received the news, the servants sent Imperial Physician Li and others over, but it is not clear why the Queen Mother fainted. ”

"What about the Queen? Did you get a message? Zhang Lingyang asked again.

"The queen mother's minions have already sent someone to inform them!"

"That's good!" Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Change my clothes now, and I will go to the White Horse Temple with the queen!" ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Lingyang changed his words and said: "Forget it, I'd better ride over!" As for the queen's side, you tell her not to be in a hurry and just hurry slowly! ”

After speaking, Zhang Lingyang got up and went to the ground, hurriedly changed into civilian clothes, and rode away with a group of guards to the White Horse Temple in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang......

"The poor monk White Horse Temple has seen the emperor!"

The Queen Mother suddenly fainted in the White Horse Temple, the reason is currently unknown, the presiding officer of the White Horse Temple has long been six gods and no owner, walking back and forth in front of the gate of the temple.

At this time, seeing Zhang Lingyang coming, the host of the White Horse Temple hurriedly greeted him.

"No need to be polite!" Zhang Lingyang didn't stop his pace, but just asked, "How is the Queen Mother's illness?" Did Imperial Doctor Li arrive? What kind of disease did the Queen Mother have? ……”

"The emperor doesn't have to worry too much, Imperial Doctor Li has arrived, and he is now diagnosing the Queen Mother in the side hall. The Queen Mother worships the Buddha all the year round, although there is a small illness, but I think there will be no big problem! ”

"Okay, I know everything, you go down first!" Zhang Lingyang waved his hand and walked straight into the side hall.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Imperial Physician Li and others frowning and sitting around the bed to diagnose Empress Dowager Xu.

Seeing Zhang Lingyang coming, Imperial Physician Li hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Okay, now is not the time to pay attention to these false courtesies, I ask you, how is the Queen Mother's condition now? Can you find out what is the disease? ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the queen mother will get ......"

Imperial Physician Li was about to reply, but he didn't want the imperial doctor in front of the bed to suddenly change his expression, and his body collapsed to the ground.

Without waiting for Zhang Lingyang's reaction, the imperial doctor came to Zhang Lingyang with a roll, and said in a hoarse voice: "Please mourn the emperor, the queen mother is already dead!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang's eyes darkened, as if the strength of his body had been drained away, and he found a chair to sit down weakly, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

"What kind of disease does the Queen Mother have?" After coming back to his senses, Zhang Lingyang asked.

"This ......" Imperial Physician Li glanced left and right, and stopped talking a little.

Seeing this, Zhang Lingyang waved his hand and said, "You all stand down and leave Imperial Doctor Li to reply!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, everyone left the side hall one after another.

"Now that there is no one in the temple, you can say it!"

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is actually not sick, but her heart has been a little haggard these days. In order to avoid the emperor's distraction, these days, the Queen Mother has been pressing Weichen and others, and did not let Weichen and others inform Your Majesty! ”

"Emaciated?" Zhang Lingyang was a little confused, "Why is the Queen Mother suddenly emaciated?" ”

"This ...... Wechen is stupid, I really don't know! ”

"Okay, I know, you can step down!" Zhang Lingyang waved his hand to let Imperial Doctor Li step down, and sat on the chair puzzled.

After a long period of effort, Zhang Lingyang still couldn't figure it out.

At this time, Mama Zhou, who had been serving the Empress Dowager Xu closely, came to the palace, solemnly kowtowed to the body of the Empress Dowager Xu three times, and then got up and knelt down in front of Zhang Lingyang.

Looking at Zhang Lingyang's confused face, Mama Zhou said: "Long live the master, but I wonder why the queen mother is so haggard?" ”

"Do you know why?" Zhang Lingyang frowned and asked.

"Naturally!" Mama Zhou smiled bitterly, "In fact, since I learned your true identity, the Queen Mother has always had a heart disease, so she has become more and more worshipful of Buddha and respect over the years."

Originally, the slave maid also thought that if she went outside, the queen mother's heart disease could be completely cured. just didn't want to, the Queen Mother never let go of her knot.

Especially the last time Uncle Zhao Huang in Liaodong suddenly got into trouble and was quickly suppressed, it made the Queen Mother feel that she couldn't live with the first emperor and the ancestors of my Great Zhou, so her thoughts are getting heavier and heavier these days......"

Hearing Mama Zhou say this, Zhang Lingyang suddenly realized.

Although Zhao Chenxi, who was replaced by Zhang Lingyang, was not the biological son of the Empress Dowager Xu, he was the bloodline of the Zhao family, and the Empress Dowager Xu was the wife of the first emperor, so she has always been the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family.

Originally, after learning about Zhang Lingyang's life experience, Empress Dowager Xu planned to live a day in a daze, not wanting to have a Liaodong Rebellion this year.

Although Zhao Chenfeng was born in the royal family, his relationship with the lineage was far away, so Empress Dowager Xu didn't care about Zhao Chenfeng's life or death.

What Empress Dowager Xu cared about was that Zhao Tan, the illegitimate son of the prince of Anping, was also involved, and finally died in the chaos. If these are nothing, then after learning the news later, King Anping personally killed more than a dozen of his own heirs, and finally set fire to himself, which completely left an indelible knot in the heart of Empress Dowager Xu.

King Anping is the only younger brother of the first emperor Yongkang, and is the younger brother-in-law of the Empress Dowager Xu.

As the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, she saw her relatives die like this, but she didn't have the slightest solution, so over time, the knot in her heart was knotted.

According to Mama Zhou, these days, Empress Dowager Xu often has nightmares, dreaming of her husband Emperor Yongkang, and will be questioned by Emperor Yongkang every time.

As a result, Empress Dowager Xu's heart disease became more and more serious, and she finally lost her life under emaciation......
