Chapter 209: The Mystery of the Cold Palace
"Queen Mother!" Where did Mama Liao know the twists and turns, but the Queen Mother woke up after taking Lin Mumu's medicine.
"Queen Mother, how are you, I'm really scared of the old slave."
The Queen Mother was helped by Mama Liao to sit up and lean on the cushion, because of the forbearance the green tendons on the back of her hands bulging out. "Mourning the family...... It's okay! ”
The Queen Mother took a deep breath, and her slightly cloudy eyes rolled and fell on Lin Mumu. "Lord Lin, the mourning family feels bitter in their mouths, but what did Lord Lin eat for the mourning family?"
"Queen Mother, Lord Lin said that you have been overthinking for a while now, and fed you a pill to replenish essence qi, and you woke up after taking the pill." Without waiting for Lin Mumu to speak, Mama Liao explained for her.
"Tonic, a medicine to replenish essence and qi!" The Queen Mother's voice was almost squeezed out of her throat.
"The mourning family feels much better now, the effect of this medicine is too strong, and Doctor Lin should remove the effect of the medicine for the mourning family as soon as possible."
"Too strong? The Queen Mother feels unwell after taking the medicine? Mama Liao said and looked back at Lin Mumu. Lord Lin, this ......"
"Queen Mother, don't worry." Lin Mumu said and came back to her senses, poured a glass of water, and took it to the Queen Mother. "The Queen Mother will be able to dilute the effect of the medicine by drinking this water."
The Queen Mother looked at the teacup in her hand suspiciously.
Mama Liao handed the teacup to the Queen Mother. "Queen Mother, drink it quickly."
The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and sniffed in the teacup before opening her mouth to drink the water.
The plain and tasteless entrance of the clear water, the Queen Mother instantly felt that the unbearable itching on her body had subsided.
"Mama Liao, the mourning family feels a little hungry, let's set the meal."
"Yes, the old slave will let people set the meal."
Mama Liao instructed the palace maid to prepare a meal and then waited for the queen mother to get up.
"The Queen Mother's health is fine, and the lower official will leave."
Lin Mumu didn't know what the Queen Mother wanted to do, but no matter what she was going to do, she didn't want to be involved, and leaving as soon as possible was the best policy.
The Queen Mother stroked her meticulously combed sideburns and glanced at her from the bronze mirror. "For many years, the mourning family has eaten alone, and since Doctor Lin is here today, let's stay and eat some with the mourning family."
It is a great honor to be able to eat at the same table with the Queen Mother, after all, the Queen Mother has been low-key for many years, and it is rare for the Queen Mother to have such an opportunity, but in Lin Mumu's view, abnormal and demonic, I always feel that the Queen Mother's behavior today is a little strange, but she can't refuse.
"It's an honor for the lower officials."
Soon, the palace maid put the meal on the table.
Mama Liao helped the Queen Mother to sit down at the table.
"Doctor Lin, sit down."
"Yes."
Lin Mumu sat down under the Queen Mother.
Mama Liao gave the Queen Mother a bowl of wine-stuffed egg drop soup.
"This sweet soup tastes good, and Doctor Lin also tastes it." After taking a sip of egg drop soup, the Queen Mother slowly raised her head and said to Lin Mumu.
Lin Mumu naturally gave herself a spoonful of soup, and before drinking it, she put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, making sure that there was no problem before drinking, but she didn't eat too many dishes on the table, she only ate a few bites with the Queen Mother, and she also put down the chopsticks after the Queen Mother dropped them.
The queen mother waved her hand, and the palace maid stepped forward to withdraw all the meals.
"The mourning family's body is really worse day by day, and in recent days, I feel very tired easily, Doctor Lin said how to regulate the mourning family?" The Queen Mother was holding tea in her hand, obviously not planning to let Lin Mumu leave immediately.
"The Queen Mother is in good health, she doesn't need special conditioning, and she is on weekdays
When it's good, you can go for a walk in the garden. ”
"Hmm."
The Queen Mother said to Lin Mumu without a match, and said that the teacups in Lin Mumu's hands were empty, and the buttocks were numb, and the Queen Mother said lightly: "The mourning family is tired, Mama Liao asked people to send Doctor Lin out of the palace." ”
"Yes."
Mama Liao helped the Queen Mother into the inner hall to rest, and asked the palace maid to send Lin Mumu out.
The moment she stood up, if she wasn't still in the Queen Mother's Palace, Lin Mumu really wanted to stretch her waist regardless of her image, she remembered that it was only around noon when she entered the palace, and now the sun was setting in the west and the sky was almost dark, she didn't know that the Queen Mother could talk so much!
When the palace maid led Lin Mumu out of the Cloud Bowl Palace, the sky had already sunk, and if the action was not faster, the palace gate would be closed, but after the two walked for a while, Lin Mumu suddenly stopped.
The palace maid who led the way saw that Lin Mumu did not follow, and looked back at her curiously. "What's wrong with Lord Lin? If you don't go faster, the palace gate will be closed. ”
Lin Mumu looked at the dim surroundings and looked at the palace maid expressionlessly and said, "Are we going the wrong way?" ”
The palace maid's eyes flashed, and she bowed and said: "Lord Lin doesn't know, because I am afraid that the palace gate will be locked if I go out late, so the slave maid took the lord to take a shortcut that no one took in the past, as long as you bypass the stone road in front of you, you can see the palace gate." ”
Lin Mumu was stunned. "I see, let's go."
Seeing that she didn't ask any more, the palace maid turned around and continued to walk forward, but she didn't know that Lin Mumu behind her had already quickened her pace and came behind her.
Lin Mumu suddenly made a move to the palace maid, and the back of the palace maid who walked in front of her body quickly dodged Lin Mumu's attack on one side of her head as if she had eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Mumu's eyebrows sank, and she looked at the palace maid and asked. "Who the hell are you?"
The identity was revealed, and the palace maid no longer disguised, and grabbed Lin Mumu with both hands into claws.
Lin Mumu had already prepared, and when the palace maid attacked, the silver needle hidden in her fingertips flipped and stabbed into the palace maid's tiger mouth.
"Ahh
The palace maid let out a low cry, and slapped the silver needle at Lin Mumu with a slap of her palm.
Seeing this, Lin Mumu quickly turned around to dodge, and the palace maid attacked again.
Lin Mumu knew that she was not the palace maid's opponent in terms of force alone, and after she grabbed a handful of medicinal powder in her hand and sprinkled it at the palace maid, she turned around and ran.
"Uh-huh, ahem!"
The palace maid seemed to have taken precautions, and quickly covered her mouth and nose and retreated the moment Lin Mumu's medicinal powder spilled, but even this gave Lin Mumu time to escape.
When the medicine powder dispersed, there was still Lin Mumu's figure in front of her, and the palace maid chased out in a certain direction with a gloomy face.
Lin Mumu ran wildly all the way to avoid the pursuit of the palace maid, thinking that if she could meet the forbidden army patrolling the palace, she would be saved, but she didn't know what direction the palace maid took her, she ran all the way without seeing half a figure, and the surrounding environment was getting darker and darker.
When he couldn't feel that there was someone behind him, Lin Mumu found a rockery and hid in.
She leaned against the rockery and gasped for breath, and it took a while for her strength to recover.
Lin Mumu wiped the beads of sweat that overflowed in front of her forehead and gasped, that palace maid is the one who came out of the Queen Mother's palace, is it true that she is doing this because the Queen Mother is taking revenge on herself for giving her the itching pill?
But if you do it to her in this deep palace, won't the Queen Mother be afraid of being discovered?
When she was in the Thousand Buddha Temple, she felt that the Queen Mother was a little weird, but there were some things that she could not participate in, so she did not delve into them
, but this time the Queen Mother attacked her, obviously she violated a certain taboo of the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother wanted to kill her, is it because she knew that the Queen Mother was pretending to be sick?
Lin Mumu shook her head, unable to understand for a while.
She listened sideways to the movement outside, and after making sure that no one was outside, she quietly walked out.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and there were only stars and the moon hiding in the clouds.
Lin Mumu could only look at the surrounding environment through the faint starlight, although she didn't know the first time she entered the palace, but the palace was so big and heavily guarded, she hadn't walked around like she had walked in her own backyard, so she didn't know what kind of place it was.
Lin Mumu walked out of the rockery and looked at the towering palace walls around her, there were no lanterns hanging here, so there was a cold aura that she was inexplicably familiar with, she wouldn't have run to the cold palace!
It wasn't until she saw the abandoned palace gate that she didn't have time to enter on the day Emperor Showa was assassinated, that Lin Mumu was sure that she had indeed run to the cold palace.
At this time, the palace door was still closed, and reason told Lin Mumu to pat her ass and leave, but the cat's curiosity made her walk to the palace gate step by step.
There was silence all around, and the only sound in my ears was the sound of my own breathing.
Lin Mumu gently pushed open the hidden palace door and looked inside, in the hazy night, this abandoned palace was like a resentful soul, so that everything inside was shrouded in an eerie atmosphere.
Lin Mumu looked around and made sure that there was no one in the courtyard before rushing in.
The palace is so large that when you walk in, you can see the main hall standing in the dark.
Lin Mumu took a handful of medicinal powder in his hand and slowly approached the main hall.
The paper pasted on the doors and windows of the main hall had long been weathered and tattered, and when I stood outside the window and looked at the inner hall, I saw only darkness.
Lin Mumu pushed open the door of the main hall and walked in, and the tables and chairs inside were covered with dust.
Just as Lin Mumu walked into the inner hall, there was a slight movement outside the door.
Lin Mumu was startled, quickly walked to the window and looked, and saw a palace maid wearing a pale palace dress walking in.
Lin Mumu looked around, and as soon as her body scurried, she hid behind the big bed.
As soon as she had taken refuge, she heard the door of the outer hall pushed open, and there was a slight sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, and the man entered.
Lin Mumu held her breath, feeling that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
However, through the faint light, she could still see the appearance of the palace maid clearly, and it was not the palace maid who pursued her.
The palace maid came to the bed, and when Lin Mumu wondered if she had found herself, there was a sudden "click" sound in her ears, and the stepping bed in front of her suddenly moved.
Through the gauze tent, Lin Mumu saw that the big bed revealed a Hessen entrance.
The maid turned around and looked out the window, and when she was sure that there was no one, she walked in with the food box.
Lin Mumu only heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from inside, and the palace maid walked out after about a quarter of an hour.
The maid closed the mechanism and quickly left the palace.
After making sure that she was leaving, Lin Mumu walked out of the shadows.
At this time, the moon had come out, and the silver moonlight shone through the tattered window paper into the room, and landed right on the bed.
The palace maid went in with a food box, and when she left, she obviously felt that the food box in her hand had become lighter, which meant that she was sending something to the people inside, but who would be locked up in this hidden place?
