With the map left by Mu Xin, Lin Jiujiu returned to the General's Mansion.

Mu Xin on the front foot just returned to the other courtyard, and someone came to the palace on the back foot, it was the old lady next to the Queen Mother.

The old lady came in and took the lead in blessing without being humble or arrogant: "The old slave sees the county master." ”

Lin Jiujiu stepped forward and helped her up: "Hurry up, please get up." ”

Mama was helped by Lin Jiujiu to sit down and explained her intention: "The old slave came this time at the behest of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was very happy to learn the news of your recovery, and specially ordered the old slave to invite you to sit in the palace, so that she could ask the Imperial Doctor to give you a closer look at whether her body was good." ”

Lin Jiujiu was very moved, and immediately ordered someone to dress her up and prepare to meet the Queen Mother.

When I arrived at the Queen Mother's Palace, the Queen Mother was already waiting there.

Lin Jiujiu was about to salute the Queen Mother, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother's smiling words: "Jiujiu, you don't have to be restrained by these false courtesies with me, now that you have recovered from a serious illness, it is not good to think about it, so sit down quickly." ”

The Queen Mother patted the position beside her as she spoke, and motioned for Lin Jiujiu to sit beside her.

Seeing this, Lin Jiujiu was not hypocritical, and sat next to the Queen Mother without saluting.

As soon as she sat down, the Queen Mother took Lin Jiujiu's hand and was very concerned: "Girl, you have been wronged this time." ”

"After returning to my mother, Jiujiu will not be wronged." The Queen Mother's concern is not pretended, Lin Jiujiu's heart is slightly warm, and she replied obediently, "With the queen mother caring so much about Jiujiu, there is nothing to be wronged about." ”

And Lin Jiujiu's supple and well-behaved appearance made the Queen Mother feel more and more distressed, she didn't take advantage of her concern for her and rushed to confide or ask for something, which made the Queen Mother, who knew countless people, inevitably sigh: "Good boy..."

"Where's the Imperial Doctor?" The Queen Mother suddenly remembered the main purpose of summoning Lin Jiujiu this time, and aroused the imperial doctor.

And the imperial doctor had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and as soon as he heard the summons of the queen mother, he approached the inner hall: "Weichen is here." ”

"Hurry up and show the Lord of Linyang what is going on."

The palace maids who were waiting had the foresight to bring chairs and set up the examination tools for the imperial doctor.

The imperial physician sat down in front of Lin Jiujiu: "Please stretch out your hand." ”

Lin Jiujiu stretched out his hand according to his words, a handkerchief covered Lin Jiujiu's wrist, and the imperial doctor began to carefully diagnose the pulse, while the queen mother waited for the result.

After a while, the imperial doctor withdrew his hand and touched his beard: "The residual poison in the county body has been cleared, and the queen mother and the county lord can rest assured." ”

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay." Come on, reward. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie." The Imperial Doctor saluted and thanked him, then packed up his things and left.

And Lin Jiujiu looked at all this in front of her, her heart was warm, and she said: "The queen mother is so good to Jiujiu!" ”

The Queen Mother scratched Lin Jiujiu's nose and smiled: "Such a cute little county lord, who is the queen mother good to you if she is not good to you?" ”

"What the queen mother said is~" After saying that, Lin Jiujiu leaned his head on the queen mother's shoulder.

"Ahem," the Queen Mother coughed a little, "Now that you have recovered from a serious illness, although the Imperial Doctor said that it is no longer in trouble, but it will always hurt your vitality, and I will ask someone to send some thousand-year-old ginseng, cordyceps and other things to you... Ahem... Go to your house and remember to drink. ”

"Okay." Lin Jiujiu agreed, and frowned again, "Queen Mother, why do you keep coughing?" ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Don't worry, it's inevitable that you're old." ”

The old lady on the side saw the Queen Mother say this, and couldn't help but interject: "Back to the county lord, the Queen Mother has been like this for some time, and she doesn't listen to persuasion and doesn't let people see it." ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense!"

Lin Jiujiu's brows furrowed even tighter: "Queen Mother, why don't you let people see a doctor?" ”

Seeing Lin Jiujiu so serious, the Queen Mother said helplessly: "I'm old, it doesn't matter if I see this kind of minor illness or not, why toss around and drink that bitter Chinese medicine?" ”

Lin Jiujiu can understand what the Queen Mother means, she is already old, and there is no need to make this too torturous for some minor problems.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Jiujiu had a flash of inspiration: "Queen Mother, I'll make you a spice, it can moisten your throat and lungs, and it smells good."

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up: "Okay! Jiujiu really has a heart! ”

When the two chatted happily, they only heard outside the palace: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

"So happy, what are you talking about?" Before you see him, you hear his voice first.

When the Queen Mother saw Gong Yichen, she was even happier: "Yichen is here, I'm working with Jiujiu Spices." ”

"Oh?" Gong Yichen's eyebrows were slightly raised, quite curious, "When did the queen mother start studying spices?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Eh, I didn't study any spices, it was Jiu Jiu who said that he wanted to develop a spice for me!" Saying that, the Queen Mother patted Lin Jiujiu's hand, and looked at Lin Jiujiu's eyes with great love.

Seeing that Lin Jiujiu was so pleased with the Queen Mother, Gong Yichen was also very happy: "In this way, what kind of spice does Jiujiu want to develop for the Queen Mother?" ”

Lin Jiujiu was still a little restrained in the face of Gong Yichen, and wanted to salute and answer, but was stopped by the Queen Mother, so she had to sit down and say: "When I go back to the emperor, the courtiers found that the Queen Mother had some coughs, so I wanted to develop a spice for the Queen Mother that can moisten the lungs and throat, in addition to the effect of helping sleep and calming the nerves, and the taste is also relatively good." ”

Lin Jiujiu was so alienated that Gong Yichen felt a faint loss in his heart, and he still said with a smile: "In this way, Jiujiu really has a heart." ”

"Thank you for your praise."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, the Queen Mother looked up at the sky, and clapped her hands: "It's not too early this day, Jiujiu will stay to eat with the queen mother, right?" ”

Lin Jiujiu still likes to get along with the Queen Mother, so he said obediently: "Okay." ”

"Yichen also stayed, you haven't eaten with me for a long time."

Gong Yichen reluctantly agreed, and his voice was quite helpless.

It's just that no one noticed that Lin Jiujiu's body was slightly stiff.

Everyone used their own thoughts for dinner, and Gong Yichen served the Queen Mother with vegetables from time to time, as if he had unintentionally brought Lin Jiujiu again, and Lin Jiujiu didn't eat it, and it wasn't if he didn't eat it.

After an embarrassing dinner, Lin Jiujiu saw that it was not early, and if he didn't go back, he was afraid that it would be past the curfew time, so he hurriedly resigned.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, it's not early, Jiujiu has to go." Lin Jiujiu saluted, got the consent of the Queen Mother, and turned around to leave.

"Jiujiu," Gong Yichen called Lin Jiujiu, who wanted to leave, "It's getting late, it's not safe for one of your daughters to go out, stay in the palace and live, so you can develop spices for the queen mother." ”

Lin Jiujiu secretly said that it was not good, and turned back stiffly: "There is Emperor Lao's concern, the carriage is waiting outside the palace, it will not be unsafe, Spice Jiujiu should go home and develop it, and the materials of the Tianxiang corridor are also complete." ”

But Gong Yichen just didn't want Lin Jiujiu to leave: "Tianxianglou has some materials in the palace, and it is more complete, I will send someone to bring them the news of the carriage outside the palace gate, you can rest assured, take the opportunity to accompany the queen mother in the palace, the queen mother likes you very much." ”

Lin Jiujiu knew that Gong Yichen's words behind him were true, and when he saw that he couldn't get rid of it, he could only reluctantly agree.
