Chapter 13: The Dawn of the Dawn (2)

The Queen Mother is ill, and she is in a coma.

How heavy does this have to be to faint in the middle of the upper court?!

And seeing Yang Jian's panicked appearance and rushed out to report, he knew that the Empress Dowager Lu Dao didn't have time to give him any instructions, and she definitely hadn't woken up yet.

No one can tell whether such a condition is mild or severe, but at least it is not an ordinary cold and flu. Whether it will become an incurable serious illness, or even the worst situation, is even more worrying.

If the Queen Mother's illness spreads like this, God knows what kind of situation will become of the Dao.

I'm afraid that there will be more people with a heart immediately, at least the Shengrui Palace side must be tempted - Concubine Zhu has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

The courtiers looked at each other for this.

It's only been a few days of peace, why is it going to be messy again?

The queen hung the curtain, the emperor died, the palace changed, not to mention outside the palace, the things in the palace were one after another, and they never stopped at all.

Most courtiers were most afraid of instability in the palace. At that time, there was inevitably chaos in the court, and those who wanted to clean themselves would inevitably be involved in the whirlpool. If one is not good, the boat will capsize, and the hard work of this life will be wasted. Only those who want to take advantage of the troubled waters and earn a share of the credit will be excited—the opportunity has finally come.

But the opportunity for Lu Huiqing to wait is gone.

Lu Jia asked and sighed secretly. He is not Zaifu, and he has no right to follow him to the back hall, so he can only leave the palace with his class.

In order to return to the two mansions, Lu Huiqing, who was outside, tried her best to rely on military merits, and if the Queen Mother fell like this, any Liao country would be thrown into the country of Yanpo. On the contrary, the hope of returning to the two mansions has increased by one or two points.

Zhang Qi, who was left behind, looked at the front row that had been gone, and sighed silently.

The errand of the escort class was that the prime minister and the governor of the council took turns to take the unruly courtiers in the Wende Hall to salute the empty throne. The courtiers who have practice are to participate in the permanent living of the vertical arch hall, and this court will be the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother of the Curtain.

In the Vertical Arch Palace, Zhang Qi led the crowd to retreat from the court, and it was the first time for Zhang Qi, but Han Jiang and Han Gang ran away, he didn't show up, and the other courtiers were really not easy to go in terms of etiquette.

Normally, it should be the one with the least qualifications to stay, but Han Jiang left him Zhang Qi.

I don't know if this is a bad thing or a good thing, maybe I can think of it this way, Han Jiang doesn't want Han Gang to stay and give him the opportunity to directly control the army.

Of course, it is more likely that Han Jiang thinks that Han Gang, as a disciple of the legendary Medicine King, the sooner he arrives at the Cishou Palace, the more beneficial it will be to the sick Queen Mother.

As long as Han Jiang doesn't feel that he is dispensable, Zhang Qi thought so, and began to salute towards the empty throne while leaving the class leader.

Yang Jian was sweating, and his hand on the ground slipped twice, almost hitting his head on the swarthy gold brick.

Jaesuke personally took action, which is really a scene that ordinary people rarely see in their lives.

Last time, it was Cai who suffered, and this time it fell on him, a little servant.

Wang Anshi is old, but his strength is not small, although he just thinks Yang Jian is in the way and pushes it, but before he ran over, his legs and feet were already scared and weak, not to mention that as soon as Wang Pingzhang, who was tall, stretched out his hand, it was solved with one finger when the thin and short Zeng Bu was still here.

After climbing a few times, Yang Jian finally got up.

In the hall, Zhang Qi had already begun to lead the ministers to pay homage, and Yang Jian cautiously withdrew from the apse.

Take a shortcut and go directly through the apse, and when you go out of the hall through the back door, you can't see the figures of the Zaifu who are one step ahead.

Yang Jian's footsteps immediately became faster, he had already been notified, and now he had to go back to restore his life, and he had to catch up with Zai Fu in front as soon as possible.

Ciming Palace is newly repaired, located behind Baoci Palace,

Fang Cai watched the Queen Mother faint, Yang Jian was stunned, and the whole person was stunned, and cried and shouted with the accompanying palace maids and chamberlains. Thanks to Li Xian, who was traveling with him, he reacted quickly, kicked Yang Jian awake with one kick, and asked him to come to the Vertical Arch Hall to inform the Zaifu.

On the way back to Ciming Palace, Yang Jian's right thigh gave Li Xian a burst of throbbing pain, but he didn't dare to delay, dragged his legs, and limped forward quickly.

The Banzhi guards along the way were all nervous, even if they didn't see the Queen Mother fainting, at least they saw the Queen Mother's Luan driving suddenly stop when they were about to reach the Vertical Arch Palace, and then they returned the same way and retreated to the Ciming Hall behind.

Yang Jian believed that they were not confused, and knew what this meant, and even more senior prime ministers, political participants, and privy envoys rushed back, no matter how stupid they were, they should understand that something big had happened.

It's a big deal.

After making a fool, it was not easy to get the favor of the Queen Mother again, and now the Queen Mother is sick again. In case something happens and the one in the Shengrui Palace gets the will, where can God give him a third chance?

Yang Jianzhi felt bitter in his mouth, and recited Amitabha Buddha over and over again in his heart. The footsteps moved as fast as they could, but there were still a few Zaisukes in front of them.

Coming out of the side door behind the vertical arch hall and rushing to Cishou Palace, the sound of tuk-tuk tuk tuk official boots sounded behind Yang Jian, and his footsteps were hurried, as if a creditor was chasing a vicious dog.

Looking back, Zhang Qi had already caught up.

Obviously, except for Han Gang, the others are all old men in their fifties and sixties, how can one be sharper than the other?

The front hasn't caught up yet, but the back has caught up.

Now that he had already seen Zhang Qi, Yang Jian didn't dare to go any further, so he stopped and took two steps back to the side of the road.

When he crossed Yang Jian, Zhang Qi turned his head and frowned at him, but he didn't pay attention to him anymore, and hurried all the way to Cishou Palace.

In the outer hall of the Cishou Hall where the Queen Mother lived, Wang Anshi and Han Jiang took the lead, and several Zaifu stood facing the heavy door of the inner hall.

Zhang Qi felt a little surprised, Zai Fu was a man, and he was not a doctor, so it was inconvenient for him to enter the inner hall where the Queen Mother slept every day.

But Han Gang has a big name, so he should go in; And in order to avoid the suspicion of melon fields and plums, Wang Anshi also has to follow together to be a witness, how can the father-in-law not watch his son-in-law make a 'mistake'; Wang Anshi has entered, in order not to lose the heart of the prime minister, Han Jiang also has to enter with him; there are three people who have entered, and there is no need for the others to stay outside and visit the queen mother together, so as not to be suspicious of each other.

When Zhang Qi came over, he thought so, but he didn't expect that when he came over, Han Gang was still in the outer hall. Han Gang didn't enter, and the others couldn't find a reason to break into a widow's boudoir.

His mind was like lightning, and Zhang Qi immediately raised his voice and asked, "Pingzhang, Xianggong, is the Queen Mother okay?" ”

He was facing Wang Anshi and Han Jiang, but he asked inwardly.

"I'm fine." There was a thin echo in the inner sanctum.

"The Queen Mother is fine." This was followed by a scathing retelling by an attendant.

Zhang Qi's heart sank. Listening to the voice of the Queen Mother is by no means nothing, weak and short of breath, which is very different from the voice that tries to be stable on weekdays. It's just that the voice of the Queen Mother can still be heard in the tone.

"Zhang will not participate in politics, and wait for me to change my clothes."

Forcing the seriously ill Queen Mother to meet the ministers, Zhang Qi didn't know what to say, so he said 'don't dare', and then stood with his colleagues.

But the Queen Mother must meet with the Zaifu.

The Zai Fu did not dare to break into the Queen Mother's boudoir, so the Queen Mother had to force the sick body to come out to see Zai Fu.

If they don't come forward to let them see clearly, no one dares to guarantee that it is the Queen Mother who is talking to them in the door, not another person with a similar voice. Even if there is only a 1 percent chance, they must question and confirm it. At least this time we have to meet.

"Who else is in there?"

Returning to his colleague, Zhang Qi asked in a low voice. He couldn't ask clearly, but he believed that everyone in the room knew what he was asking.

"There is only the imperial doctor, and there is the Son of Heaven."

Han Gang replied in the same low voice.

"What about the north?" Zhang Qi rushed to the north side of Nunu's mouth.

There is no need to ask, Han Gang also knows who Zhang Qi refers to.

"Didn't come."

Zhang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, Concubine Zhu in the Shengrui Palace did not come, which was the best news.

If she was in the inner sanctum now, hugging the Son of Heaven and talking to the Queen Mother, things would be in trouble.

No!!!

Zhang Qi frowned suddenly, if she was not afraid of things, but calm, it would not be a good thing.

There was a sound of footsteps inside the door, and Zhang Qi's body immediately tensed, lowered his head slightly, and stared at the door with his residual vision.

The footsteps were slow and soft, but they quickly moved to the door.

The first to come out were two chamberlains, two palace maids, and the old palace man who was holding the Son of Heaven, and then the queen mother who was supported by two palace maids.

The moment he lowered his eyes, Zhang Qi's gaze swept over the Queen Mother, her cheeks were sallow, she couldn't see any blood, and she didn't have makeup at all. He was neatly dressed and sat in the middle of the outer hall, as if he was officially going to court.

"Let you all be worried."

When she was sick, she was forced to get up, and the Queen Mother couldn't see any anger. It's just that he has no strength and no one to support him, so he can't sit steadily. But the palace maid and the chamberlain did not dare to come close to help, and after letting the queen mother sit down, they let go of their hands so that the ministers could confirm it.

"Chen Han Jiang knocked to see His Majesty."

After confirming that the Queen Mother was not being held hostage, Han Jiang immediately leaned over to meet the Queen Mother.

Han Jiang took the lead, and the Zai Fu worshipped one by one.

Unlike the other Zaifu, Wang Anshi stared at the Queen Mother very rudely until he could confirm it. Han Gang also stared at the Queen Mother's face for a while, and then lowered his head and saluted with his colleagues.

Even Zaifu rarely saw the Queen Mother's true face, confirmed that the Queen Mother was not impersonating, confirmed that she was not held hostage, and finally confirmed that she was still relatively sober, so that Wang Anshi and Han Gang could rest assured.
