Zhou Chuchu was summoned to Fengluan's car first.

When the palace maid came to invite her, she was already a little restless, not only because the carriage was small and simple, there were no luxurious furnishings and utensils in her carriage, and there was no group of intimate and obedient palace maids to serve in front of her, she even wanted a bowl of drink when she was thirsty, so she could only pour it herself from the rough clay pot on the side.

The bowl of drink was brought to her and smelled it, she frowned again and put it down, looking at Gu Mingzhu who was already asleep with her eyes closed and leaning on the soft pillow.

It's really useless people, they can still sleep at this time, but they don't want to think that if they can know the condition of the queen of heaven, that is, the person who can guess the direction of the next stroke fluctuation, I don't know how many people will want to know this.

She turned sideways and looked out of the carriage with a cold face, there was still a constant distance from Chang'an, and she didn't know how long she would stay in this carriage.

Just thinking about it, a palace maid opened the curtain and came in: "The county lord of Changping, the lady asked the county lord to come over and speak." ”

Zhou Chuchu's body suddenly straightened up, his eyes were blazing at the Fengluan car in front of him, he hurriedly adjusted his hair bun and dress, and proudly glanced at Gu Mingzhu, who woke up when he heard the sound, it seems that the mother trusts herself the most, otherwise she would be the first to summon herself over, but she never let Gu Mingzhu go with her.

She raised her chin slightly and nodded: "Let's go, don't let Niangniang wait for a long time." ”

The palace maid bowed down and withdrew from the carriage, and Zhou Chuchu strode towards the outside of the carriage, without looking at Gu Mingzhu who stayed in the carriage.

Gu Mingzhu straightened up lazily, covered her mouth with her sleeves and yawned without any image, looked at Zhou Chuchu who went out and smiled, leaned back on the soft pillow, and boredly fiddled with a ball of lamps and plants hanging in the carriage.

It seems that it will take some time before it is my turn, so there is no need to worry, the left and right will pass.

After more than half an hour, Zhou Chuchu came back from the Fengluan car, his face looked a little unpredictable, and when he entered the carriage, he unexpectedly ignored Gu Mingzhu, sitting on the couch alone and thinking about his thoughts, he even forgot about his disgust, he actually picked up the bowl of drink in his hand, and he didn't come back to his senses when he reached his mouth.

The palace maid who sent her back smiled slightly and said to Gu Mingzhu: "Niangniang has something to say to the county lord of Lingling, and please ask the county lord to go with the maid." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded, glanced at Zhou Chuchu, got up and got off the carriage with the palace maid, and got into the Fengluan car.

The Fengluan carriage is very large, it is four or five times the size of the ordinary carriage, the spacious carriage is placed with a gilded phoenix pattern incense burner, and several couches are also readily available, but the innermost is to put down the woven gold cloud curtain, the curtain is heavy and the people inside can not see clearly, can only smell a strong smell of medicine in the carriage for a long time.

The palace maids looked panicked, and they all knelt aside and waited for orders, but Xu Siyan nodded to her: "County Lord, please come closer, Niangniang is already waiting for you." ”

Gu Mingzhu lowered his head and stepped forward, sat down next to the curtain, where the couch had already been set up, and the palace maid had brought tea soup.

"Mingzhu is here, you're scared too." There was a voice from the curtain that the queen of heaven was angry, but it was still calm and gentle, "I originally felt that my body was a little better, so I thought that I couldn't delay the important event of sacrificing the emperor's tomb, but I didn't expect that after all, I didn't fight for it, and I felt that it was not very good on the road, but I taught them to see jokes." ”

Gu Mingzhu lowered her eyebrows, listened to the queen speak, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang's body is important, and she has to recuperate." ”

The queen of heaven smiled lightly, and her voice was almost inaudible: "This is my heart disease, where can ordinary medicine cure it, and now I am just doing my best and obeying the destiny of heaven." ”

Gu Mingzhu had never heard the queen of heaven say such a decadent word, so she couldn't help but move in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Niang Niang is relieved, but she is suffering from the wind and cold, where it matters, as long as she has a good birth and nurture for a few days, it will be fine." ”

The queen of heaven's voice was very weak, but it also seemed to carry a resolute decision: "I have always believed in you, so I won't hide it from you, it's not a cold, yes, asthma......"

Gu Mingzhu was really surprised this time, wheezing! It's a fatal disease, and if it's severe, I'm afraid it will ......

She stared at the brocade curtain in disbelief, how could the queen of heaven have asthma, obviously it shouldn't be like this, but it seems to be the case these days, so the queen of heaven has been hiding and refusing to teach the news to spread, because she knows that once it spreads, she is afraid that there will be a big chaos in the front court and the palace, and those who have long been eyeing her and the back party will no longer be afraid of it, but will not wait to do it.

The crown prince has broken his leg, and if the queen becomes seriously ill again, the foundation of many years will be destroyed, and the delicate balance that has been maintained for many years will be broken.

The queen of heaven is still saying intermittently: "The court has tried its best, but such a disease is difficult to cure, if there is any accident, it will inevitably ......."

"Now I'm afraid that the palace has spread the word, I asked Chu Chu just now, but she didn't dare to answer, I think she was afraid that I would be sad, and Mingzhu also wanted to hide it from me?"

Gu Mingzhu's surprised expression quickly faded, and her face was already cold: "What Niangniang said is that Niangniang is the head of the six palaces, the mother of the world, and the concubines and nobles in the palace and the women inside and outside are all panicked because of Niangniang's illness. ”

The queen seemed to be a little surprised, and quickly relieved her doubts: "Only you dare to say it, dare to tell me at this time." ”

Gu Mingzhu said calmly: "The courtiers don't say it, and the mother also knows that this is human nature." ”

The queen seemed to sigh with emotion: "Yes, after all, in the back position, there are many people who care about my life and death, but it's a pity that I am incompetent after all, and I can no longer be in charge of the harem to stabilize people's hearts." ”

Gu Mingzhu said in a low voice: "Niangniang is still the master of the Middle Palace, and the mother is the world." ”

But there was silence in the curtains, and there was no more to speak for a long time, and there was a deathly silence in the carriage.

After I don't know how long it took, the tired and weak voice of the queen of heaven came again in the curtain: "Okay, I'm also tired, you can retreat, you can rest, and when you return to the palace, I will summon you to the Ganlu Hall to speak." ”

neither said her plans after returning to the palace, nor did she give her any instructions, just asked her to step down.

Gu Mingzhu didn't ask much, bowed, and slowly retreated from the curtain, but when he just walked to the side of the carriage, he happened to bump into Xu Siyan, who was holding the prescription, and was instructing the palace maids to decoct the medicine: "...... When I returned to the palace, I immediately asked people to go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to take the medicine and come back according to the prescription to fry it, and there should be no delay. ”

Seeing her coming, Xu Siyan hurriedly bowed down and bowed, Gu Mingzhu happened to see the words in the first line of the prescription: long-term depression has become a disease, for asthma, and the illness is in the heart......

She quickly withdrew her gaze, got off the Fengluan carriage without squinting, and went back to the carriage.
