"Uncle, why do you have to be so polite to her, but a merchant's lady. They beat me like this, and I couldn't swallow it. ”

Wang Dacai, who was sitting on the side, saw the man in the stone blue official uniform looking at him, so he wanted to stand up with the back of the chair, but found that he couldn't move at all. Said resentfully.

"Shut up, you brute." The green tendons in Wang Shoudao's temples jumped and scolded.

"You provoke first, and I fight last. And you are still under your uncle's nose, openly talking to those scholars in public about cheating in scientific examinations in the tea shop, are you guilty? Prajna sneered.

"You're really wide. It's none of your business if I cheat or not. Wang Dacai said indifferently.

"They are openly talking about cheating in scientific examinations under your nose, I don't think Lord Wang will not know about it." Zhaoyun spoke leisurely.

When Wang Shoudao heard this, he instantly knelt down tremblingly, and hurriedly denied that he didn't know. He roared at Wang Dacai again: "Why don't you come and admit your mistake soon, little rabbit cub?" ”

"I'm not going to kneel a woman." Wang Dacai clasped his hands in front of him and tilted his head to the side.

Zhaoyun put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to be private about this matter. Since Wang Dacai is so backbone, then let's do business. Mingcui, you tell her who I am. ”

"Why don't you kneel down and admit your mistakes, do you want to go to jail?" Wang Shoudao yelled, and his beard trembled.

"This is the princess Zhaoyun of the current dynasty, and she is not quick to admit her mistake." Ming Cui stepped forward and said loudly.

Wang Dacai's face was full of meat, and after a pair of dead fish eyes showed an unbelievable look, he reluctantly apologized.

"I'll let him go this time. Lord Wang, you have to discipline him so that he will not come out and do anything wrong. ”

"Also, when will the sand boats parked at the Imjin ferry depart, and can Lord Wang know when the horses of the Western Wu Kingdom will arrive?" Zhaoyun's voice changed and asked.

"Xia Guan only heard from the people above that when the ship is loaded, he will set off on the fifteenth day of the next month. When the horses of the Western Wu Kingdom will be transported, the lower officials do not know." Wang Shoudao touched his handful of beard.

Today is April 13th, and if you start on June 15th, it will only be two months. In her previous life, she married far away and went to Xiwu Kingdom, and when she crossed the border of Yunqi, she happened to hear the soldiers who greeted her relatives talk about it, and then she learned that something happened to the sand boat that Yunqi transported to Xiwu.

Some things, compared to the previous life, are really a lot ahead of schedule. And it seems that there is not much time left for her.

Zhaoyun and the others were about to go downstairs to leave, and when they walked past Qiusheng, Zhaoyun had a flash of inspiration in his mind and stopped to ask.

"Did you take your mother's last name?"

Qiusheng suddenly looked up at Zhaoyun. "How do you know?" Big eyes were full of surprise.

"Because, the sachet around your waist."

"There's an abrupt request, I don't know if you'll be able to grant it." Zhaoyun asked. "Can you take me to visit your mother?"

"Why?" Qiusheng scratched his head, quite puzzled.

"Because, your mother is probably an old friend I know."

The four of them followed Qiusheng for about two quarters of an hour, passing through several lively streets and through several stone alleys, and finally arrived at his door.

Looking at the brown-red gate that was mottled and in disrepair, and the couplets that seemed to be indelible on both sides, Zhaoyun had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

She was anxious to know if Qiusheng's mother was her old friend, and she was afraid that the truth was really what she imagined.

Zhaoyun hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and followed Qiusheng into the gate. As soon as I entered the door, I heard a voice that I hadn't seen for a long time and was familiar with.

"Qiusheng, you're back, you're hungry. I'll give you a hot meal. As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged woman who was still holding a dish in her hand was stunned.

"Mother Qiu, I've finally found you."

Zhaoyun looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him who was wearing a washed white coarse linen robe, with an apron around her waist, a haggard face, and gray temples, and her eyes blurred unconsciously.

"You are ... Zhaoyun? Qiu's mother asked incredulously.

Seeing Zhaoyun nodding, she immediately threw the vegetable leaves she was holding in her hand into the basket, rubbed her hand on the apron around her waist, and hurriedly greeted it.

"In a flash, princess, you have grown so big. These eyebrows and eyes really look like Yun Guifei back then. Looking at the slim young woman in front of her in a white dress, Qiu's mother gradually turned red. In the blurred vision, she seemed to see the master of the year.

"Mother Qiu, what happened back then? Why did you leave the palace when I was four years old? Zhaoyun eagerly stepped forward and asked.

Mother Qiu let out a long sigh and looked up at the blue sky trapped in the four corners, gradually recalling.

"It all started when Yun Guifei was pregnant with the princess that year."

At that time, the master was four months pregnant, and his belly was slightly bulging. No matter how busy he was, the emperor would take time out every day to visit his master in the palace and accompany his master for a few hours, and the rewards were endless. ”

"Maybe that's why I've been red-eyed by many people."

"At that time, Empress Changde, who is now the Queen Mother, always came to visit her master in the Fusleeve Palace when she was free, and sent people to send some supplements from time to time."

"Even though she always looked like she was smiling, I always felt that there was another face hidden under her face. So, I boiled up some of the supplements she sent every time, and then secretly poured them under a camellia outside the window. ”

"At that time, I had already warned my master to pay attention to Empress Changde. But the master has a good heart, and has never speculated on others with the worst malice. ”

Gradually, I noticed that instead of withering, the camellia grew more and more luxuriant. I gradually let down my guard against Empress Changde. ”

At that time, the master would go to the imperial garden in the palace every day, because Imperial Physician Huang said that this was conducive to the health of the fetus in the womb. And Imperial Physician Huang is the imperial physician who the queen invited to diagnose the pulse of the master every day, and it is said that he is very good at gynecology, and we will all believe it. ”

"But that day, as usual, I accompanied my master to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, and the master who was walking beside me suddenly grabbed my hand and said that my stomach was cramping with a lot of cramps. I looked at the master frowning, beads of sweat on his forehead, anxious like an ant on a hot pot. ”

"I didn't think much about it at that time, so I hurriedly sent someone to invite Imperial Doctor Huang over. Imperial Physician Huang rushed to ask for the master's pulse, saying that there was no major problem. It is only said that it is cold at night, and it will get better after drinking a few pairs of medicines to slowly recuperate. ”

Indeed, after drinking a few of his medicines, the master gradually improved, and a similar situation never happened again. Under the instructions of the emperor, Imperial Physician Huang asked for the pulse of his master twice a day, without interruption. ”

At that time, the queen still continued to send people to the palace to send bird's nest and various supplements, and the emperor would praise the queen's virtuous and virtuous virtues every time he came. And I saw that my master was not in good health, so I began to boil some supplements sent by the queen for my master. ”

"Seeing that the master's stomach is becoming more and more obvious day by day, his movement is becoming more and more inconvenient, but he will still insist on going out of the palace with my support to go around until the day when the master is going to give birth."

"The emperor invited the best midwife in the palace to help the master give birth. However, for a full day and a night, there was still no movement. The master's face turned pale in pain, and he wanted to faint several times. The midwife said that the fetal position was not correct, and all methods had really been exhausted, but the master's stomach still did not move. ”

"At that time, the situation was extremely urgent, and if I didn't give birth again, I would die twice. At that time, the master had passed out in pain. ”

I was anxious, holding her hand and shouting to her not to give up. Finally, the master woke up at the last moment, bit the handkerchief, and used the last bit of strength in his body to give birth to you, the princess. But it didn't take long for him to pass out and never wake up. ”

"When the emperor learned the news of his master's death, Long Yan was furious and punished everyone, including the midwife and the imperial doctor, and I was also made a third-class palace maid."

"But I have always had doubts in my heart, the master has always been fine before giving birth, except for that time in the Imperial Garden, there is nothing unusual at other times."

"Suspicious, in the dead of night, I secretly went to the Imperial Garden alone. unexpectedly found that the master's favorite clump of West Lake willow moon chrysanthemum had all decayed overnight. I picked a chrysanthemum and secretly asked a medical girl who was usually good friends. She sniffed it, and her face changed dramatically. ”

"It is said that there is a poison left on this decaying chrysanthemum stalk. She told me that the poison was called Tonka and that it was also very common in the harem with a dose. It is colorless, the smell is very light, and you can't smell it at all if you don't pay attention to it. It has no effect on ordinary people, but in the long run, it has fatal harm to pregnant women. ”

"I suddenly remembered that when the master went to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers that day, before the abdominal pain, she had approached the willow moon of the West Lake and picked up a flower to study carefully. Every time I think about it, I feel terrified. In my heart, I blame myself and regret it, why couldn't I find out earlier that day. ”

"My master has been to the garden many times since then, and I wonder why I didn't have unbearable abdominal pain later. So I secretly dug up the residue of the medicine that Imperial Doctor Huang had prescribed to the master and showed it to the medical woman. Unexpectedly, she actually said that although this medicine was a tonic, it was actually mixed with a medicinal herb that suppressed the medicinal effect of Linglingxiang. ”

"Suspicious, I took the excuse of going out of the palace to buy it, found a pharmacy, and showed the dried chrysanthemums and medicinal residues brought out to Mr. Pharmacy. He said exactly the same thing as the medicine woman. At that time, a cold sweat broke out on my back, and I realized that all this was a trap between the queen and the master. ”

"It didn't take long for the decaying chrysanthemums to be dug up and replanted with new ones."

When they heard this, everyone was terrified. And Zhaoyun was already in tears.

In her previous life, she knew that her mother's death was quite strange, and she also knew that the Queen Mother was likely to be the real culprit behind the scenes, but she never had evidence.

didn't expect that she was so scheming and vicious, and she wanted to kill them in such a way.
