Chapter Twenty-Seven: Where the Heart Leans

Wu Xuan is only 38 years old this year, but the past few decades have been very brilliant in the eyes of outsiders. At the age of 14, he married the emperor, became the queen at the age of 25, and became a widow at the age of 30, and spent 8 years dealing with a group of old men left by the emperor.

But now, her own son is finally able to govern himself, and he is gradually alienating himself.

Empress Dowager Wu stared at the top of the tent last night and didn't fall asleep all night, and in the morning she heard that Wang Bingli handed over a sign to see her, and she understood that the emperor was afraid that he would not be able to come back in a few days, and sent a small shrimp and crab to perfunctory her.

rubbed his temples and called Aunt Li, "Help me comb my hair, I can't sleep." ”

Aunt Li helped Empress Dowager Wu get up and put on her shoes, staring at her, "Empress Dowager, didn't you sleep well last night?" Wang Bingli just hung him, you are too worried, you need to rest well"

"When I get old, I can't sleep when I wake up in the morning." Empress Dowager Wu touched the black silk that she had spread out, and suddenly found a silver-white hair that was particularly obvious in the morning light.

With a faint sigh, he pulled out the white silk with a hard force, which caused the migraine to become more intense. He closed his eyes in pain and frowned vigorously.

"Go and call the Tai Doctor for acupuncture, I have a headache today."

Aunt Li led the Queen Mother to sit in front of the dresser, and shouted outward, "Qiu Shi, go and invite the Imperial Doctor to do acupuncture for the Queen Mother." ”

Qiu Shi, who had been standing outside the hospital in a proper manner, heard it and quickly replied "yes" and ran to the hospital.

In the Queen Mother's Palace, Aunt Li is the aunt in charge, and there is only one first-class maid in the Queen Mother's Palace, which is Qiu Shi.

Aunt Li is the maid of the family brought by the Queen Mother, and she has been serving the Queen Mother closely, and no one else can get close to this iron-fisted Queen Mother. Therefore, the aunt in charge of the Queen Mother's palace has been Aunt Li for decades and has never changed.

When the queen had not yet been relegated to the cold palace, Fan Xixi and Aunt Li were almost on an equal footing, and the large-scale dinners, banquets, and Spring Festival were all Aunt Li in the Queen Mother's Palace and Fan Xixi in the Queen's Palace.

As for Autumn Fruit, he looks gorgeous, but his personality is a little dull and silly. If it weren't for the fact that Qiu Shi's father was a Tai Hospital and Taishou when he was young, and he had a certain status in the palace, Qiu Shi would not have survived in the palace until now.

Qiu Shi's father, Imperial Physician Huang helped the Queen Mother block a lot of disturbances in the palace when he was young, not only let Wu Xuan, the Queen Mother, sit firmly on the queen's throne, but also adjusted her body properly, successfully gave birth to a prince, and let Jiang Qianliang until adulthood, he was also strong and healthy, and there was no major disaster.

Imperial Physician Huang is a benefactor in Wu Xuan's heart, so after Imperial Physician Huang died at a young age, she left Imperial Physician Huang's only daughter Qiu Shi by her side to take care of one or two.

However, Qiu Shi is really clumsy, he has been raised very well by Imperial Doctor Huang since he was a child, and he has not taken much care of people, and he only entered the palace when he grew up. All the work of serving people became twisted and unseemly in her hands.

However, he inherited some of the medical skills of Imperial Physician Huang, so in the Empress Dowager's palace, he usually massaged and conditioned his body. Although she is a first-class palace maid, she is just a high woman, and no one in the Queen Mother's palace looks down on her. has no ability, can't do things, and is always a little stupid and stupid in dealing with people, occupying a first-class maid position in vain.

In fact, sometimes he hates himself very much, and he can't do anything well. She actually hates the queen too. It's just that her father died, and she can marry a reliable family in peace. What she clearly wanted to live was to live an ordinary life as a woman like her mother, taking care of her husband and children at home every day, and taking care of her husband and children, in a stable and comfortable way.

But she was forced to be sent to the palace to be a first-class maid of Raushzi. It's really the opposite of what she wants. A teenage girl doesn't even have a handkerchief to say the truth.

The other palace maids not only excluded her, but sometimes bullied her for being timid and cowardly, asking her to wash their feet and serve them, and sometimes they would be surrounded by several palace maids in the latrine and kick her in places that would not be discovered by the queen mother.

She is really aggrieved, living a depressed and passive life.

Until half a year ago, she had thought that there was no hope in life.

It was the man who saved her and allowed her to find the last shred of warmth in this cold palace.

It was her mother's birthday, and a palace maid spread the word for her that her mother had suddenly become seriously ill outside the palace and could not find a doctor to treat her.

She obviously only has a mother who can rely on each other!

She broke into the palace gate and begged the guards in front of the palace gate so recklessly, tears raining down. "Please, big brother, my mother is seriously ill, I will see a doctor, if I don't go back, she will die!"

The guard looked indifferent, "But you don't have a palace card, I know you are sad, but this is the palace, it's not that I'm not accommodating, if I let you pass, we both have only a dead end." ”

Qiu Shi slid off the palace gate weakly and collapsed to the ground.

Looking up at this palace, the palace gate is too high to see. Her home is a few steps away from the imperial city, and in order to facilitate her father's entry into the palace to see a doctor, she rented a very small courtyard in the capital, and the family of three lived comfortably.

But after her father's death, she was taken to the palace, and her mother was left alone outside the city, and she had not seen her mother for a long time. I am not filial, and I don't even know that my mother is sick.

Now it was a few steps away, and she was isolated in the palace gate, and her mother, on the bed she was familiar with, waiting for her, and waiting for Hades.

She couldn't run away from fate, she could hear her mother crying out for help, the dying gasps pressed on her heart, and the faint candlelight seemed to make her face clear.

She hadn't seen her mother for so long that even her visions were blurry.

Tears were like beads of broken thread, rolling drop by drop, she was really going to collapse, she had already thought that if her mother also left her, she would jump from the well of the palace.

Anyway, she is insignificant in this palace, no one cares, she is going to be a bad person when she dies, and let all the bad people who bully her and insult her drink the water that has soaked her corpse.

She hates this palace to death!

Just as she stumbled to her feet from the ground, her eyes wandering towards the mouth of the well, a pair of strong arms grabbed her.

Several attempts to break free had no effect.

She cried pear blossoms with rain, and looked behind her with resentment on her face. It was an unknown man, staring at her with a hint of sadness, as if an older brother was looking at his sad sister.

The man tugged at her arm to prevent her from being short-sighted, sighed, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, her eyes skimmed to the corner of the handkerchief, delicately embroidered with a green cloud.

Looking up at the man's broad arms, his shoulders stood straight and stiff. The corners of his mouth are hanging down, but the corners of his eyes are particularly energetic, his aura is extraordinary, and his hair is meticulous in the crown.

The man folded the handkerchief squarely and carefully slipped it into his chest. Pulling Qiu Shi and walking in the direction of the palace gate. Qiu Shi wanted to break free, but the man's strength was very strong, and he couldn't break free several times.

"I'm a guard, I just heard you at the door... Said it. ”

Qiu Shi looked over in shock, and happened to meet the man's gaze, but the man hurriedly fled again. Looking straight ahead, he strode forward, "I'm just about to leave the palace gate, and later you change into the clothes of the guards and lead my horse out with me." ”

"Do you understand?" The man stopped suddenly, and looked straight at her face without running away, hoping to get her answer in the affirmative.

Qiu Shi's heart moved, and at that moment, the man was like a god descending from heaven, tugging at her heartstrings. She lowered her head like a mosquito humming and said "um", and then was dragged by the man in the direction of the palace gate.

That night, she rescued her mother. What's more, her heart also has something to rely on, that handsome and awe-inspiring man.
