"It's the Queen Mother, your trust! No matter how strange the method I use seems to others, I hope you can understand that the Queen Mother has only one purpose in these things, which is to help the Prince! So as long as my method will not hurt the prince or others, please don't interfere with the queen mother! ”

This is quite straightforward, if Peony or other palace maids are here, they will definitely think that Zhang Weizhao is too arrogant and will commit the following crimes. But the Queen Mother heard the confidence of a doctor from her tone, so she said:

"Good! I can trust you. But you don't have to live up to the trust of the mourning family! Only you and I know about curing the prince's heart disease, if the news reveals a little bit. You and your master have no choice but to change the world and practice. When she said this, the Queen Mother's tone was cold, and her whole body exuded coercion.

Zhang Weizhao was not bent by this coercion, although he knelt on the ground, his back was still straight: "I will keep it a secret because this is the most basic duty of a heart doctor." Since I promised you, I will do my duty for the crown prince. This sentence is said simply and neatly, and people can't help but be unconvinced.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly: "Okay!" There you go. I would ask people to clean up a meditation room across the courtyard in the west, and tell the public to let the prince pray for me. ”

Zhang Weizhao saluted and left.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly after she left. This little Taoist doctor is too upright, don't you know that serving in the court, the most important thing is to have a gentle attitude and speak well? Then he sighed again, that's it, maybe you really have the ability to do this. changed those respectful imperial doctors, they had to roll on the tip of their tongues three times before they spoke, and they didn't dare to say a direct word.

She hoped that the prince would get better soon. Although she has more than one grandchild, Chen Youcong is the only one she raises by her side and is closest to her. Moreover, she always has a sense of guilt for Chen Youcong.

She has more than one regret in this life.

The biggest regret left to her during those years in Nangong was that she lost her freedom of movement and had no way to protect her eldest son Chen Jianjun, so that he endured too many worries, fears and hardships at an immature age.

During that time, it was Jin Ling'er who had been accompanying Chen Jianjun, so that Chen Jianjun's attachment to Jin Ling'er surpassed that of everyone in this world, including her, who was a mother.

As a mother, she has always harbored deep guilt for Chen Jianjun, although she herself was unable to protect herself during that time, and she could die at any time.

So when the first emperor Chen Huaishen returned to the throne again, and she also became the concubine of the Great Yan Dynasty, she did not force Jin Ling'er away from Chen Jianjun's side, but acquiesced in his dependence on Jin Ling'er.

Then the first emperor died, Chen Jianjun succeeded to the throne and made Jin Ling'er a concubine, and she acquiesced to his favor and trust in Jin Ling'er.

However, in order to make up for the guilt of Chen Jianjun, it caused a new guilt.

It was precisely because of her silence that Jin Ling'er became more and more rampant, brutalizing concubines and strangling the imperial heir, which led to Chen Jianjun's marriage for many years, but there has been no heir.

Fortunately, God has mercy, just when the country was almost shaken by the issue of the imperial heir, a eunuch came to report that a palace maid surnamed Ji secretly gave birth to the prince in Nei'an Hall, and with the help of several palace maids and eunuchs, the prince has been quietly raised to the age of six.

She and Chen Jianjun were overjoyed, and after taking out the child from Nei'an Hall, and after verifying his identity, he was named the crown prince, and his mother was named the concubine.

However, the palace maid surnamed Ji, who gave birth to a child, died violently less than a month after becoming a concubine.

The Queen Mother knew that it was Jin Guifei's handiwork, she was furious, and attracted Jin Ling'er to reprimand her, and Jin Ling'er cried bitterly and fell to the ground to plead guilty. Originally, she wanted to get rid of Jin Ling'er, but the emperor came and wept bitterly, saying that if Jin Ling'er went, he would definitely die soon.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but she had to give up. only warned the emperor and asked him to be optimistic about Jin Ling'er, if Chen Youcong has three long and two short, she will definitely bury Jin Ling'er with the door.

The Queen Mother was born as a peasant girl, and she was not interested in poetry and songs, and she had no ambitions for government affairs. Her greatest wish is that her children can grow up peacefully, live well, have children, grow old slowly, and live a good life.

Jin Ling'er's actions have touched her bottom line. She has never been interested in politics, but if Jin Ling'er doesn't know how to restrain herself, she will uproot the spreading power of the Jin family at any cost.

Jin Ling'er settled down a little bit. Although he still dominates the emperor, he doesn't dare to fight the idea of the prince anymore, and he no longer harms the favored concubine at every turn. The Forbidden City has added a few more little princes and princesses one after another.

After Concubine Ji Shufei's death, some of the eunuchs and palace maids who helped Concubine Ji Shu raise the prince back then knew that they could not escape death and hanged themselves. Some disappeared silently overnight. The Queen Mother knew that the emperor was deliberately covering up Jin Ling'er's evil deeds.

It's a pity for those loyal people. But the matter has come to this, and the Queen Mother just sighed once, and that's it.

The Queen Mother took the crown prince to her Changle Palace to raise her. Changle Palace is in the northwest of the Forbidden City, and Jin Guifei's Duanxi Palace is in the east of the Forbidden City.

But as the crown prince grew up, and his popularity inside and outside the court gradually increased, the forces that had been dormant earlier began to stir again.

Jin Ling'er saw that the prince's position was becoming more and more secure, and she began to come up with new tricks. She summoned her niece Ye Tongying into the court, made a pampered appearance, and frequently created opportunities for Ye Tongying to get along with the prince. The emperor also contributed to the trouble.

The Queen Mother knew what Jin Ling'er's purpose was, and she was planning for the future of the Jin family. Jin Ling'er came from a humble background, her father was originally just a small official in the yamen, and the rest of the Jin family were also pawns of peddlers in the market. As Jin Ling'er's status in the court became higher and higher, and finally became a noble concubine, everyone in the Jin family ascended to heaven and grew in power.

However, Jin Ling'er is now fifty-three years old, and the emperor is only thirty-six years old.

Shortly after Chen Jianjun succeeded to the throne, Jin Ling'er gave birth to a prince for him, and the reason why she was able to be promoted to a concubine at that time was also because she gave birth to this prince. However, the little prince died in less than a hundred days. Concubine Jin grieved too much, but there was nothing she could do.

Since then, although she has continued to ask for medicine and recuperate in every possible way, she has never been able to get pregnant. has no heirs, which means that when she dies, when the good days of the Jin family will come to an end.

And if the Jin family, or a close relative of the Jin family, can produce a crown princess, that is, the future queen, the situation will be very different. If this crown princess can give birth to the imperial grandson as soon as possible, it will be even better, Jin Guifei has the ability to immediately let the emperor make the imperial grandson the imperial grandson.

Because Jin Guifei is older, her biological brothers and sisters are also old, and the children in the family have already started a family and have children.

Helplessly, Jin Guifei could only find a suitable girl in the side branch.

Jin Guifei's youngest aunt and cousin, after the Jin family's career, caught her son-in-law and married a young jinshi in the Wuzi period, Ye Bin.

Ye Bin was born in a scholarly family, and was just in his early twenties when he was a Zhongjinshi, and he was a famous young talent in Huizhou. He originally set up a family affair at home, and planned to return to his hometown to marry in this subject regardless of whether he was in it or not.

But Jin Ling'er's little cousin An Yuelian met this unusually handsome young jinshi when she was having a banquet at a relative's house, and fell in love at first sight, and when she went home, she told her family that Ye Bin would not marry. The An family sees Ye Bin as a young man, and he is also a promising person, and he is also very fond of this family business. What are you afraid of? Just give more money and return it.

The Ye family insisted on refusing at first, on the one hand, because they were unwilling to destroy the marriage alliance made before, and on the other hand, because the Ye family had been scholarly for generations, and they had never looked down on the nouveau riche of the Jin family. However, Jin Ling'er came out to make this one, and Ye Bin had to reluctantly marry An Yuelian.

An Yuelian has a son and a daughter, and the daughter is Ye Tongying. The children of the Ye family have inherited their father's good looks, and Ye Tongying is particularly outstanding.

Ye Bin is now serving as Zuo Tongzheng in the Department of General Political Affairs, and he is the fourth product.

The Jin family successively sent several school-age girls into the palace to visit the concubine, which was actually the right person for Jin Guifei. Jin Guifei chose Ye Tongying, firstly, because she has extraordinary beauty, and secondly, her father's official position and family background are also suitable.

Ye Tongying's appearance really attracted the attention of the young prince as Jin Ling'er imagined.

The prince has been raised to be old and dignified since he was a child, and suddenly met a girl who is as delicate and innocent as Ye Tongying, and he even talked a lot.

Ye Tongying obviously likes the prince too. This is not only because she covets the position of the crown princess, but also because Ye Tongying's father, Ye Bin, is such a tall and polite appearance.

This kind of heartfelt liking has a natural affinity, which makes the prince and Ye Tongying hit it off at first sight. After the palace banquet on the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor and the concubine summoned the prince to dine together more often, and Ye Tongying was often accompanied by Ye Tongying during the banquet. Ye Tongying sat next to Chen Youcong and smiled like a flower, only saying that her two cats could talk for a long time, and it was rare that Chen Youcong would also listen to it with relish, and ask questions from time to time.

He had never had a pet himself, so he was very curious about Ye Tongying's cat.

The emperor and Jin Ling'er were very relieved to see this pair of children talking and smiling. Jin Ling'er is pleased that the Jin family's power and wealth can be guaranteed from now on. Chen Jianjun is relieved that he can finally make Jin Ling'er let go of her worries and stop worrying all day long.

In this way, it is a harmonious and happy group.

But this group of harmony, looking at it from another standpoint, only feels cruel and weird.

Empress Dowager Liu had already seen through Jin Ling'er's tricks. Jin Ling'er's move made her even more disgusted. If Chen Youcong and Ye Tongying get married, if he knows the cause of his mother's death in the future, how will he deal with himself?

It's just that she knows the prince's character very well, and knows that Chen Youcong is different from his father, he looks very gentle, but he is firm on the inside, and he will not be easily controlled by women, so she is not in a hurry to make a move, she wants to see how Jin Ling'er can jump.

At the same time, she also has to carefully select virtuous women, and announce the decree to enter Changle Palace to accompany the Queen Mother at the right time. said that it was to accompany the Queen Mother, but the real purpose is naturally clear to everyone.

Her son was very unsatisfactory in his marriage, and was dragged and entangled by Jin Linger all his life. The Queen Mother hopes that her grandson can choose the woman she likes.

When the prince was a child, he had a hard time in Anle Hall, and the food he ate was saved from the mouth of the palace maid and eunuch, and the clothes he wore were changed from old clothes. finally recognized the emperor's father and son, but his biological mother was killed again. After that, the prince fell seriously ill, and after he recovered, he couldn't remember any of these things. But the Queen Mother remembered it very clearly. When the Queen Mother first saw the crown prince, his fetal hair had never been cut, and he had kept it since birth, as long as his little body. The Queen Mother held the child in her arms and silently resolved to protect the child thoroughly.
