Inshou Palace
Imperial Physician Hu had already left, and Nangong Yan returned to Renshou Palace.
Empress Dowager Sun had already been helped by the palace maid to sit up, and when she saw Nangong Yan coming in, she said with a smile: "Yan'er doesn't have to worry so much, life and death are in the sky." The mourning family has come over with strong winds and waves, and they still care about these minor illnesses and disasters. ”
Nangong Yan hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, the Queen Mother Ji has her own natural appearance, and some minor illnesses will definitely not linger." ”
Empress Dowager Sun patted the bed lightly and said, "Yan'er, come and sit down, the mourning family still has something to say to you." ”
Nangong Yan hurriedly stepped forward, sat down, raised her wrist and gently beat Empress Dowager Sun's leg.
"Go down, all of you." Empress Dowager Sun waved her hand lightly, and all the palace maids hurriedly bowed and left.
"Queen Mother, there are some things that the slaves and maids can't say just now, I'm afraid that there are the eyes and ears of a thief among these palace maids."
Empress Dowager Sun nodded and said, "The thief's hand is stretched long enough, and only the Empress Dowager can cure him." Now that the Empress Dowager is sick in bed, I am afraid he is also arrogant. ”
"The Queen Mother, the slave maid said something disrespectful, this Queen Mother's illness, I'm afraid it ......"
Empress Dowager Sun raised her hand to stop her words, nodded, and said: "The mourning family understands that if it is the Empress Dowager Qianqiu, then the king thief will probably jump to the front of the stage." The queen mother of the mourning family, how could he ever put it in his eyes? Now this fake emperor is also his puppet, I'm just afraid that my Zhu family will be in the country......" The queen mother did not continue, and the worries in her heart were on her face at the moment.
"The queen mother doesn't have to worry too much, the slave and maid still have some scheming in their hearts when they look at the emperor." Nangong Yan hurriedly said: "In fact, the king thief is also very protective of him, the emperor's close attendant Anzi revealed it in front of the slave maid, and the emperor is also a little worried, afraid that after the queen mother is a thousand years old, the king thief will attack him." ”
Empress Dowager Sun said in surprise: "The king thief will attack him?" A eunuch still wants to be an emperor? It's really whimsical, not to mention us, even the civil and military princes of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree! ”
"Queen Mother, the king thief had a fortune before entering the palace, and he still has his son in Shanxi." Nangong Yan said: "I heard that although Wang Shan is his nephew, he is actually his son. ”
Empress Dowager Sun was taken aback and said in a trembling voice: "There is such a thing? ”
Nangong Yan nodded.
Empress Dowager Sun fell silent for a moment.
There was a dead silence in the entire dormitory.
"What else is there besides meeting the minister?" Empress Dowager Sun asked with a sigh.
"The concubine just made an appointment to meet the minister, but recently I heard that King Yu raised a group of dead soldiers outside the palace, but I just heard about it, and I didn't verify it." Nangong Yan said worriedly: "It's groundless, I'm afraid it may not be without a cause." ”
"Whether there is such a thing or not, we should pay attention." Empress Dowager Sun said, "Have you ever sent someone to talk to the two Lord Yang?" ”
"I said it, but the two Lord Yang said that it was morally justified for the concubine to meet the minister. What's more, the ancestors have training, and the harem does not participate in court politics, these concubines must know. You can't be suspicious of the concubine because of this. Nangong Yan sighed and said: "Seeing that the two adults said this, the slave maid did not dare to rashly say anything about the king of the servant, and if they could not produce evidence at that time, I am afraid that they would think that the slave maid was slandering the king of the servant." ”
"You did the right thing, it's just that they are too pedantic and believe too much in the goodness of people's surnames." Empress Dowager Sun muttered: "Whether it is a blessing or a curse, we can only wait until the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old to see the difference." ”
There was silence again.
Tong Hang stood behind the screen and sighed softly. I didn't expect that in this Ming harem, it is also like the Qing palace drama on TV in later generations, full of wit! This queen mother is too pitiful! Hey? Dowager? Could it be that she is her own mother? I remember a post that I accidentally browsed on the Internet in later generations, saying that this Queen Mother. At that time, I thought that this queen mother was vicious enough, she had no son, pretending to be pregnant, and stealing the son of the palace maid to act as a child? How did it get like this?
"Yan'er, you go to find Anzi, the mourning family has something to ask him." Empress Dowager Sun suddenly spoke.
Nangong Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and said: "Queen Mother, this Anzi doesn't know if it's a thief, maybe he deliberately said this to the slave maid, and maybe he came to trick our mouth." This summoned him to ask, was it reckless? ”
"Go, when the Empress Dowager is still here, and the thief doesn't dare to make any trouble, let's try Anzi first, if he is really loyal to the court, maybe he will not be able to say it."
Seeing Empress Dowager Sun's resolute look, Nangong Yan had no choice but to stand up, walked outside the palace gate and ordered a palace maid to look for Anzi to come over.
In less than a meal, the palace maid came with Anzi. The palace maid was still standing outside the door, and Anzi entered the door and knelt down to say goodbye.
"Come near, the mourning family has something to ask you." Empress Dowager Sun beckoned kindly.
Anzi's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he hurriedly knelt down and stepped forward, prostrate on the ground.
"How is the emperor doing?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor has been doing well lately." Anzi was a little surprised, the Queen Mother had always been cold to the emperor, why did she suddenly care about him?
"Anzi, this court belongs to the Zhu family, everything about you is also related to this Ming Dynasty, and answering the questions of the mourning family well is to be loyal to the court." Seeing that Anzi's answer was a little untrue, Empress Dowager Sun had no choice but to say things with righteousness.
"Queen Mother, although Anzi has read a lot, she still understands right and wrong." Anzi hurriedly kowtowed heavily and said, "Queen Mother, the emperor has not been good recently, very bad. ”
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
"The emperor has been having nightmares at night recently, shouting in his dreams, saying that he was living well in Haizhou, but he was captured by the king thief to be the emperor of this Laoshizi, and life is better than death!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing that the queen mother didn't believe it, An Zi hurriedly swore and swore an oath, saying: "The slave and maid dare not deceive the queen mother, every time the emperor wakes up, he will ask the slave and the maid what he heard in his dream. ”
"Hmm." Empress Dowager Sun nodded and said, "You did a good job, but is there anything else?" ”
"Queen Mother, the slave maid found that Xiao Gao always likes to run to the king thief, and the slave and maid suspect that he is the king thief."
"You are all assigned to the emperor by the prince, and it is nothing for him to go to the prince's place." Empress Dowager Sun didn't know Anzi's identity, so she had to answer casually.
As soon as he heard the Queen Mother's words, Anzi suddenly became anxious and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, although the slave and maid were found by the king thief from Shangyi Prison, but the slave and maid have a loyal heart, although they have only served for two years, but the slave and maid have been troubled recently, and the slave and maid have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”
"Excuse you, you speak." Empress Dowager Sun hurriedly pricked up her ears and said.
Anzi knelt up straight and said, "The slave maid found out that the emperor is not the real emperor!" ”
He thought that when he said this, the Queen Mother would be furious, but he waited for a long time, but he saw the Queen Mother and the female official looking at each other, and did not make any action against him. Could it be that they have already found out?
I only heard the sound of the screen on the side of the bed, and the queen mother and the female official roared in unison: "Who is it?" ”
I saw a young man come out with a heavy long-handled double-edged knife...... (To be continued.) )
