Chapter 123: Dereliction of duty
The breeze sends incense and smoke. Cen Mu embroidered with the rich smell of sandalwood and saluted the Queen Mother gently. It was as if the words of the Empress Dowager Fang Cai had a strong smell of gunpowder had not drifted into her ears at all.
"You ......" The Queen Mother raised her hand angrily and knocked over the teacup: "What a slut who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”
"Please let the queen be angry." Cen Muning looked at her calmly: "The concubine doesn't know what's going on, every time she sees the queen mother, she either knocks over the medicine bowl or the tea cup, and there is almost no time that she doesn't make the queen mother angry." But the concubine just wanted to be a good daughter-in-law, like the sisters in the harem, filial piety to the queen mother, accompanied the queen mother, after all, she didn't know what she did wrong, and she became a slut in the eyes of the queen mother. ”
"Put away your pitiful appearance, the mourning family is not the emperor." The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said: "Didn't you deliberately force the emperor to investigate Xinxi's matter, just to eradicate the people who were sent to the palace by the mourning family?" People are sent to the palace by the mourning family, what's the matter, do you still want to pour dirty water on the mourning family? The queen, greedy for power, must also be stopped in moderation. ”
"The concubine didn't mean this, and asked the queen mother to forgive her sins." Cen Mooning lowered her head while saluting her. There was a slight smugness in the corners of his eyes. She knew that the Queen Mother had a keen eye and would definitely notice this unusual trace.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother stood up and walked up to her suddenly: "The mourning family warns you, if you dare to make the mourning family unhappy, you will feel good." ”
"The queen mother is angry, and the daughter-in-law is afraid." Cen Muling raised her head and met her cruel eyes: "The queen mother just said that you have gone through two dynasties and are used to seeing the battles in the harem, and you can still stand tall today, which the concubine deeply agrees with." The concubines also know that the moon is full and the moon is lost, and everything can not be forced, and when it is time to be obscure, it is not too sharp. ”
"A good month is a loss." The Queen Mother's cautious gaze was like a flame brushing her skin. "Do you want to say that you yourself are favored, but the mourning family dares to retreat from your edge?"
"The concubine just wants to persuade the queen mother not to be so angry." Cen Muning was still calm, and smiled gracefully: "The queen mother doesn't like concubines, but concubines still have a heart to be filial to you." Today's matter, since it was Concubine Liao who angered the queen mother first, the concubine would naturally punish the Liao family and ask the queen mother to calm her anger. ”
"Liao, how are you going to punish you?" The Queen Mother smiled coldly: "Do you think the mourning family doesn't know the relationship between the Liao family and you?" She's close to you. ”
Because of this, she was dragged down by the concubines and disliked by the queen mother. How could the concubine not know. Cen Muning looked at her and smiled gently. However, the concubines will also deal with it impartially, and please rest assured that the queen mother. ”
Speaking of this, Cen Muning didn't say anything more, and watched Bingling send the fish wash in, Fang Cai saluted again: "The concubine will not delay the queen mother, so she will retire." ”
The Queen Mother looked at her turned back, and her heart was angry: "Lei Zhen, have you found out what you want to investigate?" Are you sure everything was safe in Chu Mansion last night? ”
"Yes." Lei Zhen nodded vigorously: "Two hours after Princess Ziyang returned to the mansion, Eyu returned to the mansion. The two were uneventful and did not argue. It seems that the princess did not mention what the queen had done. ”
"It's really weird." The Queen Mother was puzzled: "What kind of ability does this slut have, even Ziyang, who resents her so much, can let her go?" is still really old, and he can't fight this fox who doesn't want to hold his tail anymore. ”
"The queen mother, the slave maid thinks that no matter how clever the queen is, she can only rely on the emperor's grace to survive after all." Lei Zhen carefully whispered beside her: "As long as the emperor always values the Queen Mother more in his heart, the queen will suffer sooner or later." ”
Closing her eyes, the Queen Mother didn't speak for a long time, and when she came back to her senses, she nodded: "The authorities are confused, you can see it clearly." That's it, you can send a product of snow clams to the emperor for the mourning family. Autumn is hot and dry, and the tonic is appropriate. ”
"Yes." Lei Zhen didn't dare to show too much joy, for fear that the Queen Mother would be displeased. She cautiously saluted the Queen Mother, and then slowly withdrew from the room. After going to the court, Yin Li told the emperor what happened in the Fengluan Hall in the morning.
Zhuang Chenchen wondered: "You said that the queen mother deliberately made things difficult for the queen is not once or twice, what did the queen do that she was not satisfied with?" ”
Yin Li didn't understand the Queen Mother's thoughts, so he just shook his head: "It's Concubine Liao who is innocent, the first time she served the Queen Mother, she angered Feng Yan, saying that she was scared when she was sent back to the palace." When the imperial doctor went to see her, everyone was talking nonsense. ”
"That's too timid." Zhuang Chenchen didn't have any mercy.
"Master, my subordinates think that if you let the queen mother go around the queen mother's palace less, it will also save you from making trouble again." Yin Li frowned and said: "After all, the queen mother hates the queen mother because of the affairs of Xinmeiren, and it is better to avoid it." ”
"This palace is just such a big place." Zhuang Yanchen shook his head slightly: "Where can you dodge?" What's more, the queen mother's temperament, how I don't know, if I don't achieve my goal, I will never stop. It's just that when you get up in the morning, the queen has really been polite all the time? ”
"Yes." Yin Li nodded: "The queen mother has never been angry from beginning to end, and she has not spoken ill of her. Always respect the Queen Mother. Even if the Queen Mother is ...... The queen also maintained a decent appearance. ”
"What is the queen mother?" Zhuang Chenchen was interested in listening.
"Slut." Yin Li felt that these two words were very ugly.
"It's hard to be a queen." Zhuang Chenchen secretly thought in her heart, she was so tolerant, she must be different from ordinary people. "Wait a minute, pick up some strange things and send them to the Queen. Tell the queen that I will go to her palace for dinner later. ”
"Yes." Yin Li agreed and withdrew, and before he could get out of the second door, he saw Liang Baohuo rushing in in a hurry.
"The emperor is here?" Liang Bao's face flushed.
"What's going on inside?" Yin Li sensed that something was wrong, so he had to ask.
"Something is wrong, when the queen mother went to inspect the repaired palace, the beam that was only finished yesterday suddenly collapsed, hitting the queen mother and the ice girl girl." Liang Bao didn't say much to him: "I have to tell the emperor quickly." ”
Yin Li felt that something was wrong, so he said: "I'll go and tell the emperor, you hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to send the queen back to Fengling Palace." ”
At this time, Fengling Hall was in a hurry, and he thought of all the ways he could, but he couldn't save the queen.
Bingling cried while pressing the queen's temple with one hand, and the anxious green plough jumped to her feet.
"You have a dislocated arm, and if you don't go to the side to rest, let me come." Qingli took the ointment and rubbed it on his fingertips, and carefully rubbed the queen's temples, but she didn't wake up. "Mother, don't scare the slave, how is this good, wake up quickly. The Queen's ......"
The maids in the room were all panicked, and even sobbed quietly, which annoyed people.
"What are you crying about, the queen is still alive and well." Qingli roared dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing here, don't you go to see if the imperial doctor is here, hurry up and boil some hot water to wipe the sweat of the mother, and then go to boil a cup of tea." ”
"Yes." The servants hurriedly retreated and went their separate ways.
When Zhuang Chenchen came in, there were only Bingling, Qingli and Ming Qing in the room.
"Say hello to the emperor." Bingling was the first to see him come in, and his eyes fluttered down. "Your Majesty, take a look at the queen."
"What the hell is going on?" Zhuang Chenchen walked to the side of the bed, frowned and pressed Cen Muning's acupoint. The person on the bed didn't respond at all, and his face was pale and frightening.
"There are many concubines in the palace, and some palaces are dilapidated and cannot be lived. The queen mother instructed the craftsman to repair it well, and when she passed by today, she thought about going in to see how it was going. Who knew that when I just walked under a beam, the beam suddenly fell down. The slave wanted to push the mother away but it was too late, Heng Lang was on the back of the mother's head and the slave's shoulder. The mother passed out like this, and she hasn't woken up until now. Bingling endured the pain and bit her lip aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, what should I do about this?" ”
"Why don't you go to the imperial doctor?" Zhuang Chenchen couldn't help but get angry: "Do you just care about crying?" ”
"Master, it's not that we didn't go to the imperial doctor, but we went, and we haven't been able to invite them yet." At the mention of this green plow, I got angry.
"Not invited?" Yin Li couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this so?" ”
"Master, the servant who went to ask the imperial doctor said that there were two imperial doctors in the palace of the concubine to ask for a safe pulse for the concubine, and by the way, open the house of the fetus. There are also two imperial doctors, because the queen mother was angry when she got up in the morning, and the phoenix body violated the harmony, and they were serving in the Fengluan Palace at this time. Concubine Liao's high fever does not go away, and there must be a royal doctor guarding over there. The remaining imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital were either new or not qualified to serve the Middle Palace, so they naturally did not dare to come rashly. The minions had no choice but to go everywhere and ask for another to see if a few imperial doctors had finished serving and could come over......" The more Qingli spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, and tears fell down. "Master, they all say that the wound on the head should be bloody, which means that it is only a traumatic injury. But the queen mother's head was swollen, but there was no bleeding, what if it was bleeding inside? ”
"Ask the emperor to save the queen." Bingling held back her tears, but she didn't dare to cry. When I looked at the emperor, my eyes were full of expectations.
"Spread my will, immediately let the imperial doctor come to the queen to diagnose and treat, it's too late, I want their lives." Zhuang Chenchen's gaze finally fixed on Yin Li's face.
Yin Li immediately realized: "My subordinates will definitely bring the imperial doctor over immediately." ”
Zhuang Xianchen sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at Cen Muning, who was sleeping on her side, the back of her head was really swollen, and her heart was slightly tight.
I got up early to have a conflict with the Queen Mother, and before noon, I became unconscious. This woman is really stupid, doesn't she know how to be on guard? Or is the queen mother's heart too anxious, do you have to get rid of her to be happy?
"Wait for the imperial doctor to come over, and let the imperial doctor carefully treat the queen. All the imperial doctors will stay in the Fengling Palace, and no one is allowed to leave without my will. Zhuang Chenchen gasped, got up and walked out of the hall.
Until he rushed to Fengluan Palace, he didn't see the imperial doctor serving in the palace come out. saw Liang Bao anxious like an ant on a hot pot, begging Lei Zhen: "Good girl, the slave begs you, you can pass it on again." The stakes are high, and this is no joke. The queen is still ......."
"Father-in-law, don't embarrass the slave." Lei Zhen was also anxious and was about to cry. "The Queen Mother does not allow anyone to go in and disturb her, if the slave and maid break in at this time, eighty percent will anger the Queen Mother. The queen mother got up early because of the matter of Concubine Liao, and the slave broke in so rashly, if the queen mother was angry again, wouldn't it hurt the phoenix body. ”
Before she finished her words, she saw the emperor walking alone. "The slave and maid greet the emperor." She immediately knelt down, her eyes flushed. "It's useless to be a slave, and I ask the emperor for forgiveness."
Zhuang Yanchen was angry in his heart, but seeing that Lei Zhen was in such a hurry, he didn't pursue her wrong. "Well, since it is the order of the Queen Mother, you will stay here and I will go in by myself."
"Yes." Lei Zhen did not hesitate to respond, and did not dare to have the slightest intention of obstruction.
When the emperor came, she could breathe a sigh of relief, so that the emperor knew that it was not because she was reluctant, but just out of the queen mother's wishes.
In the inner hall, the Queen Mother sat peacefully on the soft chaise longue, eating the last grapes in autumn.
"Last time, I used the Tongyan powder you concocted, but I felt that my face was much smoother. It can be used for a while, and the skin is not fair. Is it that the pearl powder is not added enough and the grinding is not delicate enough? The mourning family has long said that there is no shortage of these good things in the palace, so don't be reluctant to use them. ”
The green grapes were delicious, and the Queen Mother said with relish: "Also, recently, the mourning family always feels that the liver fire is too strong, and in the autumn, you should choose some warm and tonic medicinal food for the mourning family to regulate the body, and give the mourning family a flat liver fire." ”
"Wechen obeys." The imperial doctors all recorded the Queen Mother's request with serious expressions, and no one dared to say anything easily.
Zhuang Zhenchen listened outside the door for a while before pushing the door in.
Because his action of pushing the door was really not light, the queen mother was so shocked that the grapes in her hand rolled to the ground. "Who is so rude, are you deaf? The mourning family said that no one is allowed to disturb others! ”
"It was the son who collided, and asked the queen mother to forgive him." Zhuang Chenchen walked through the screen and strode in.
The Queen Mother's face froze, and she instantly changed to a gentle smile: "It's the emperor who is here, come in and sit." Why don't the minions outside spread the word, who should the mourning family be? ”
"The peace of the queen mother is disturbed, and the son is guilty." Zhuang Chen's eyes were cold, especially when he looked at those imperial doctors. "Please wait a while, and let my son finish the business first."
The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, and before she could sit up straight, she heard the emperor's cold voice shocking the inner hall.
"The queen is in danger, and there is no imperial doctor in the entire Tai Hospital. The hospital is so derelict in its duties, if something happens to the queen, I want you to be buried with you! Zhuang Chenchen's terrifying look frightened that no one in the entire inner room dared to gasp.
"Are you still here to hatch eggs?" He let out another cold roar, and the imperial doctors saluted one after another, and rushed out of the hall in a hurry.
At this time, Zhuang Chenchen turned around and looked at the Queen Mother: "The son thinks that the queen mother's health is not good, which is caused by the period, and there are ignorant people around him to serve." Now it seems that it is because the queen mother's own mind is too heavy, and I am afraid that the medicine stone will be ineffective! ”
