Chapter 131: The Mysterious Carriage

Bidding farewell to the senior brother Meng Guangyuan, Liu Gouwa followed the old eunuch and came to the queen mother's bedroom

The Empress Dowager was originally the concubine Li of the Later Tang Dynasty Zhuangzong Li Cunxuan, and later gave a reward to his general Meng Zhixiang for her merits, and later gave birth to Meng Chang. Although the Empress Dowager Li has reached www.biquge.info her sixtieth birthday, wrinkles have grown at the corners of her eyes on her face, but because of her long-term pampering, those wrinkles are not too conspicuous, and her face is also white, but there is a very conspicuous large tumor in her jaw, like a small papaya, hanging under her jaw, which makes people look uncomfortable.

Seeing Liu Gouwa coming in, Empress Dowager Li sat on a brocade couch covered with leopard skin and looked at Liu Gouwa with a smile. Liu Gouwa was busy saluting her, but only half a salute, then the Empress Dowager Li let Liu Gouwa get up, and ordered the palace maid to sit down, put on some snacks or something, looking kind and kind, an ordinary old man, did not give Liu Gouwa the feeling of being high.

Although her status is noble and pampered, she is not much different from ordinary old women. Seeing such a kind old man, who had been suffering from illness for a long time, and everyone had compassion, Liu Gouwa decided in her heart to overturn the idea of slowly curing her illness and blackmailing Meng Chang before, and immediately treat her.

Empress Dowager Li's tumor is really a benign tumor, which is in response to Liu Gouwa's previous thoughts, the tumor has no invasive and destructive effect on both sides of Empress Dowager Li's jaw, as long as the tumor is removed, it will be completely fine.

Such a simple small operation, Liu Gouwa didn't know why the imperial doctor of Shu didn't do it, maybe because of the identity of the Empress Dowager Li, no one dared to do it, so she delayed it again and again, until the tumor nucleus had been formed, and she always boiled some Chinese medicine, which could not be cured.

When Liu Gouwa was in the palace, she easily removed the tumor for the Empress Dowager Li, and the Empress Dowager Li removed the pain of many years, Fengyan Dayue, and paid tribute to Liu Gouwa, and thanked Dade for rewarding Liu Gouwa with a large amount of silk and satin, gold beads, and ingots, and also sent an old eunuch in the palace to send him out of the palace.

The old eunuch held the phoenix card of the Empress Dowager Li in his hand, and took Liu Gouwa out of the palace unhindered, but at an outer gate called Dongqianmen, he was blocked by fourteen or fifteen carriages.

The carriage in the palace gate was tightly covered, and on the palace road, there were rut marks one after another, and the wheels of a carriage happened to be crushed by the weight of the car, and they couldn't move, and they were blocked in the middle of the palace gate, and the officers and soldiers who escorted the carriage gathered around the car to check the situation of the wheels.

Liu Gouwa and the old eunuch who sent him out of the palace had to wait at the gate of the city. But the wheels of the carriage were so broken that they could not be repaired or moved, so they froze there. The old eunuch was very favored by the Empress Dowager Li, and he was usually used to being arrogant, but after waiting for a while, he became a little impatient, and shouted at the officers and soldiers who escorted the carriage, asking them to move the carriage with broken wheels to the side of the palace gate.

A general who escorted the car laughed with him, compensated the old eunuch, and said: "Father-in-law Jiang, it's not that I didn't want to move the vehicle, but the vehicle was too heavy to move." ”

"If you can't move it, you have to move it, ask more people to go up, it's inconvenient, it delays the queen mother's affairs, and you all lose your heads." The old eunuch named Gonggong Jiang said in a sharp voice.

When the general heard this, he was very embarrassed, and after thinking for a moment, he had to recruit the officers and soldiers who had summoned the other four carriages to escort him, and said, "Brothers, you have all come to help, unload all the things in the carriage, and move them aside." ”

When the officers and soldiers heard this, they responded and hurriedly unloaded the things on the car. Liu Gouwa was not in a hurry to leave the palace, and when she saw that the door was blocked, she wandered around the palace gate, watching those officers and soldiers busy and unloading the things on the car. But when he found that the officers and soldiers were carrying the things tied in the burlap sacks, they felt very laborious, panting, and sweating profusely, and he couldn't help but feel very curious, and he didn't know what was in the sack.

When those officers and soldiers were at the city gate, putting down the things packed in coarse sacks, Liu Gouwa obviously heard the clanging sound of those things when they landed, Liu Gouwa knew that what could make this kind of clanging sound must be something like metal, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart: This palace is heavily guarded, and there are things to hide from people, and they are secretly transported in, mysterious and mysterious, and there are quite a few of them.

After a while, the officers and soldiers finished unloading the cart and laboriously moved the empty cart to the side of the palace gate. Seeing that the officers and soldiers moved away from the carriage blocking the road, Gonggong Jiang took Liu Gouwa out of the palace in front of the officers and soldiers again.

Out of Dongqianmen, Liu Gouwa glanced back at those officers and soldiers, and asked Jiang Gonggong without a match: "Gonggong Jiang, how long have you been in this palace?" ”

"Since the slave family entered the palace at the age of fourteen, they have been serving tea to Emperor Zhuangzong in the Tang Palace, and later won the favor of the queen mother, and they have been waiting for the queen mother until now, and it has been thirty and four years." Father-in-law Jiang replied.

"That father-in-law is an old man in the palace, he must have seen a lot of things, I don't know what those officers and soldiers were transporting just now, the bags were tight, and the guards in the palace didn't check much, so they let him go." Liu Gouwa asked again.

"The slave family doesn't know what is being transported on the car, but the general has a token specially approved by the emperor in his hand, so they can be unimpeded and not subject to the inspection of the palace guards, just like the queen mother's token in the slave family's hand." Jiang Gonggong explained.

When Liu Gouwa went out of the Dongganmen just now, she saw those officers and soldiers escorting the things on the car, and after entering the Dongqianmen, she turned to other places, not going straight to the inner palace, and couldn't help asking: "Then where did they go, why didn't they go to the inner palace?" ”

"They are going to the armor warehouse of the guard camp, okay, Lord Liu Zhai should not ask more, the rules of the palace are not to talk much, if you are not the queen mother's life-saving benefactor, you should have slapped your mouth a long time ago." That Jiang Gonggong said impatiently.

Liu Gouwa had no choice but to shut up and stop asking, followed closely behind Father-in-law Jiang, and walked out of the palace. Gonggong Jiang sent Liu Gouwa out of the palace, and without staying for a moment, he turned back to the inner palace.

At the gate of the palace, Lei Lei and Gao Qiang were already waiting impatiently, and when they saw Liu Gouwa coming out, they hurriedly greeted him, and asked in unison: "Master Liu Zhai, why did you come out, the queen mother's illness can be cured?" ”

When Liu Gouwa heard this, she nodded, but what she thought in her heart was that the dozen or so carriages she met in Dongqianmen just now, those carriages were mysterious, and there must be something unseemly, and she didn't want people to know.

"That's great, Lord Liu Zhai has been out for so long, is it the Queen Mother who left you to eat." Gao Qiang said with a smile, and Radar also looked at Liu Gouwa with a happy face, obviously they heard that the queen mother's illness had been cured, and they were very happy.

"Not really, but she invited me to her birthday ten days later." Liu Gouwa replied. Hearing that Liu Gouwa had the opportunity to participate in the Queen Mother's birthday, Lei Lei and Gao Qiang couldn't help but show envy.

"Yes, you were at the gate of the palace just now, did you see those dozen carriages entering the palace?" Liu Gouwa asked again.

"Yes, yes, but no one can get close to those vehicles, what's wrong?" Radar replied.

"Oh, nothing, even you can't get close?" Radar and Gao Qiang, who are also among the most famous generals in Shu Kingdom, heard that they can't get close to those vehicles, and they are even more curious.
