Chapter 17: The Elixir of Longevity
"This, Tang'er, what you said is true?" It took the Queen Mother a long time to come back to her senses, and then her body couldn't stop trembling slightly.
No one wants to die of old age, counting the days until death is approaching, and the oil runs out.
What's more, I have been tortured by illness for so many years, and even in the last conversation, I will feel tired and weak, like a wasted person, the word health is too tempting for the Queen Mother, let alone prolonging life.
Bai Tang held the Queen Mother's gently trembling hands, "How could Tang'er have lied to you." ”
The Queen Mother looked at her fixedly, and her breathing slowly eased in the eyes because of excitement.
It took a long time for her to close her eyes, take a deep breath, and then open her eyes again, and her eyes had returned to her usual calm.
"Is the medicine here?" She asked, looking a little serious.
Bai Tang shook his head, "Because there is a medicinal herb in it that needs to be taken and used immediately, it is not here, but it will be delivered in a few days." ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she did not show a disappointed expression, but clenched Bai Tang's hand even harder, and her expression became more and more serious.
"Tang'er, don't disclose this matter for the time being, no matter who asks, don't disclose drug-related news, including the monarch, at least not now."
Bai Tang's eyes moved slightly, and his eyes showed a little puzzlement, so the Queen Mother's words and expression at this moment actually coincided with Shizun's reaction at that time.
However, she still nodded and didn't ask much, no matter what the Queen Mother said, she would always only abide by it.
The Queen Mother got her response, so she slowly relaxed, and then closed her eyes a little tiredly, sighed deeply, opened her eyes again, raised her hand and gently smoothed the hair between Bai Tang's sideburns, and said with love, "It's a blessing to meet you." ”
In the afternoon, Wei Yuan was finally released, and with him to Jingning Palace, there was also the queen.
After starting the treatment in the morning, the Queen Mother's spirit was obviously much better, and her mood was also good, and it was rare to show a smile to the queen.
The queen mother doesn't like the queen, this is something that many people in the harem know.
If you want to say that among the harem concubines, who she likes the most, it is undoubtedly the deceased concubine.
In the years when their mother and son were down-and-out and homeless among the people, it was Concubine Xian who took meticulous care of them, and even went through thousands of dangers to collect evidence for them, uncover the conspiracy of the demon concubine, and let them return to the palace.
In the heart of the Queen Mother, the choice of the queen has always been only a virtuous concubine.
It's just that at that time, although the Xianfei family was not to be underestimated, it was only a Jianghu sect after all, and it was useless for the battle for the throne, so the queen seized the opportunity and forced the Xianfei to lower her wife's position.
Perhaps it is also the trust and love for Concubine Xian, after learning that Concubine Xian was planning to wake up the ghost and kill the emperor's heir, she was so disappointed and angry, so that she ignored her related matters, but Wei Jiuli has been staying in the cold palace since the day she was born and grew up alone.
"The Queen Mother seems to be in a good mood today." The queen hid the surprise in her eyes, and smiled gently after thinking for a moment.
"Probably in good spirits." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she saw Wei Yuan, who was walking behind her, with a wilted face, and asked about learning the palace rules.
The two sides chatted a little more.
Wei Yuan walked up to Bai Tang aggrievedly, pouting and not speaking, as if he was angry.
At this time, the queen suddenly turned her head to look, but instead of looking at Wei Yuan, she looked at Bai Tang.
"Speaking of which, Mrs. Bai also mentioned Miss Bai to the palace, saying that the prince misses her very much, and wants to ask Miss Bai when she will go back, so that the family can catch up with the old days."
There was silence.
The queen secretly glanced at the queen mother with a slightly closed gaze.
Bai Tang raised his eyes to look at the queen.
Wei Yuan sneered, "Heh, this is a complaint, sure enough, the family likes thieves to shout and catch thieves." ”
"What are you talking about?" The queen was slightly stunned.
The Queen Mother also frowned, "You girl, you don't have a door, you can talk nonsense." ”
"Not really." Wei Yuan stalked his neck and wanted to argue, but his shoulder was held down by Bai Tang.
Bai Tang looked at the queen, "I also had this plan, since the queen mother mentioned it, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and I will visit the Guogong Mansion in the afternoon." ”
"What do you say about visiting, it's all family, blood relatives, what's the overnight feud, not to mention that after so many years of separation, it's really time to go back and see." The queen smiled with relief.
The Queen Mother still lowered her eyes and was noncommittal.
Seeing that the Queen Mother did not object, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
It seems that I can't figure out the Queen Mother's mind more and more.
Bai Tang did as he said and left the palace in the afternoon.
This time, he was no longer just as usual, but with a team of people.
Wei Yuan was forced to stay by the Queen Mother and did not let her make trouble.
The procession marched slowly in a carriage carved with the Empress Dowager's badge and marched to the Guogong Mansion.
Bai Tang sat in the carriage, playing with a piece of phoenix jade pendant on his waist.
This was given by the Queen Mother in the morning.
It seems that the Queen Mother expected that the queen would mention this matter, and everything was arranged for her.
"The mourning family knows that you don't care about fame, but sometimes, it is these most sophisticated things that can be protected and turned into the most advantageous weapon in your hands. Tang'er is not a canary that will be forbidden here for a long time, but a bird that can swim in the blue sky, but above the blue sky, there are many dangers, and it is not enough to have sharp minions. ”
This is what the Queen Mother said at that time, she didn't understand it very well, but she also had a trace of comprehension.
And at this moment, Baifu is not calm, but it is not because Baitang is coming.
After receiving the news that Bai Tang was coming, in addition to being disdainful and surprised, they were waiting for the shelves to disappear without a trace, how could they be more concerned.
The chaos at the moment is entirely because of the third lady of the Bai family, Bai Yun's affairs.
When Bai Yun woke up in the morning, she found that her eyes were blurry and sour, her tears kept lingering, her mouth was swollen and painful, she couldn't say a few words, and her cheeks were even more bloated and terrifying.
Mrs. Ru immediately invited a doctor to see her, but she only said that her liver was very hot, she was overthinking, and because of crying for a long time yesterday, her eyes were dry and hot, and her mouth was foaming, and she only needed to lower the fire.
From this, I listed the Dan prescription and boiled a few bowls of decoction and poured it down.
But I didn't think that by noon, my condition had not only lost weight, but also had no weight.
Bai Yun's eyes were so swollen that she could barely see her eyeballs, her throat couldn't speak, and her cheeks were even more terribly swollen.
I called the doctor again, but the result was still the same.
Mrs. Ru and Shizi lost their temper and successively invited several doctors with foreign names, but the answer remained the same.
Acupuncture was also done, and the medicine was drunk, but the result kept getting worse.
This will Bai Yun commit suicide.
And repeatedly said that it must be Bai Tang's hand, there is no such coincidence.
Her suspicion is reasonable, which makes Grandpa Guo hate Bai Tang to death.
Originally, today's court was given a copy of the imperial history because of yesterday's public court, and he was in a bad mood, so he sent a letter to Jingning Palace and was rejected, and he was already angry.
"It's a scourge, a scourge, she should have been strangled to death in the first place!"
