Zhang Jin suddenly received an order to announce that she would immediately enter the palace to meet the queen mother.

She settled down, got up and asked Master Cheng who was announcing the decree: "Lord Cheng, the little girl will go and change into a brocade robe immediately, please wait for a while." ”

Under the guidance of Aunt Zhang, Zhu Qing had already taken the soup from the Xinglin Pavilion and stood aside. The fragrant smell went straight to his nose, and Lord Cheng had no reason to disagree.

After eating the long-known Xinglin Pavilion meal, Lord Cheng accidentally said that after the queen mother was sick, no one saw him, and the emperor didn't see him, so he named him to see Mrs. Zhang.

Zhang Jin changed his robe, first drew a talisman in the room, identified it as the Book Forbidden Section, made a ritual according to the requirements of the Book Forbidden Section, and burned a plate of incense sticks that could burn for twelve hours.

Zhu Qing quietly ran up and told her the news that Master Cheng had gotten, and Zhang Jin was even more sure that what he was doing was right, so Shi Shiran followed Master Cheng out of the Xinglin Pavilion.

All the way smoothly into the palace and into the Kunyi Palace.

It was already late February, and the azaleas under the corridor of the Kunyi Hall had many buds, and a few bloomed sporadically.

The vitality of these flowers is inferior to the peony flowers blooming in the Kunyi Palace.

The pink and light purple peonies, each with a bowl mouth, are stacked with petals, which are as smooth and soft as silk.

The side hall where the Queen Mother rests presents the opposite atmosphere of coquettish flowers, gloomy and eeriely quiet.

Looking around, the doors and windows were closed, and the glass windows were covered with curtains to block the light, and the room was stuffy.

The female official brought Zhang Jin to the Queen Mother's dormitory: "The Queen Mother, Zhang Jinzhang's little lady brings it!" ”

Zhang Jin knelt down and saluted: "The folk girl knocks to see the Queen Mother." ”

After a long time, so long that Zhang Jin thought that the person lying on the bed had fallen asleep, the queen mother moved her hand exposed outside the quilt weakly. The female officer replied: "Get up." ”

Zhang Jin stood up and stood still.

After a long time, the Queen Mother asked in a low voice: "You are Little Lady Zhang?" ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."

"Speak closely."

The female official instructed the little palace maid: "Give the little lady Zhang a seat." ”

The clever little palace maid moved a tall pestle over and put it at the end of the queen mother's bed.

The Queen Mother's hand patted the quilt: "Sit here." ”

The female official said again: "Please ask Little Lady Zhang to take the pulse of the Queen Mother." ”

Zhang Jin stepped forward, only to see the Queen Mother's hands exposed on the quilt, thin as dry bones, and then looked up, her cheeks collapsed, showing a dark shadow, and a silk handkerchief was tied above her eyes, covering her eyebrows.

This is the legendary queen mother?

It is said that the queen mother was delicate and lovely when she was young, dignified and gorgeous when she was the duchess of Tang Guo, and she was even more majestic when she became the queen mother.

Zhang Jin stretched out his hand to remove the silk handkerchief from the Queen Mother's wrist and gave the Queen Mother a pulse with his bare hands.

Seeing this, the female officer was about to stop it, but Zhang Jin looked at her and lowered her head silently.

Zhang Jin counted his pulses for a while.

The queen mother's appearance is plain, and under her calm appearance, her pulse beats chaotically, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes light and sometimes heavy.

Zhang Jin let go of his hand and stood up, took a step back, and asked the female official: "The smell in the room is turbid, can you open half of the window?" ”

The female officer said nervously: "The queen mother is afraid of noise, so the doors and windows must be closed." ”

Zhang Jin frowned slightly, all the way just now, the breathing sound of the palace maids and eunuchs couldn't be heard, it was like a no-man's land, where would there be noise?

The Queen Mother sighed: "Don't speak, he's here!" ”

The female official's shoulders tightened suddenly, and the palace maids and little eunuchs around her also showed nervous and frightened looks.

Zhang Jin asked in a clear voice: "Who is he?" ”

The Queen Mother said softly: "It's him!" If you want him to go, you will say that I am asleep. ”

Zhang Jin asked again: "Who is he?" He won't leave without calling his name. ”

"He, he is, he is, he is ......" The Queen Mother seemed to think: "He is Galo!" ”

"Who's Garo?" Zhang Jin asked again, and inadvertently saw the female officer covering her mouth in horror.

"It's my sister."

Oh, Zhang Jin knows, the sister of the Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager of the former dynasty and the empress of the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

Zhang Jin raised his voice and said: "Jia Luo, you go, the Queen Mother is asleep." ”

After a while, Zhang Jin asked softly: "Queen Mother, is Jia Luo gone?" ”

"Nope."

"Where's Garo?"

"Right next to my bed."

Hearing a grunt, the female officer rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.

Zhang Jin squatted down and probed the female officer's snort, it was fine, but he was scared and fainted, and there was no big problem.

She stood up and continued to ask, "What is Garo doing?" ”

"Garo is talking to me."

"What did Garo say?"

"I didn't take good care of her grandson, Gaarro said."

"Does Garo want you to take care of her grandson?"

"Nope."

"Garrow said, I'm my sister, and I'm going to take care of her. When she was a child, we all let her do this. ”

"Sister, why don't you let me?" Zhang Jin asked in another voice.

Listening to the coo, Zhang Jin looked back, and the palace maids and little eunuchs all fell to the ground one by one, and they were all stunned. She didn't move, waiting for the Queen Mother to answer.

The Queen Mother's voice showed a little surprise: "Galuo, Galuo, is it you?" ”

"It's me."

"Garo, we're finally meeting again."

"You say, why do you let your children and grandchildren bully my children and grandchildren?"

"Jialuo, I have never understood or asked about the affairs of the government and the opposition, and you don't know it. After my husband left, my son was only seven years old and inherited the title and took on the burden of the family. Where is bullying? ”

"Isn't it your son who is the emperor now?"

"Garo, that's my uncle's ambition, he has this ability, and it has nothing to do with bullying. If this is bullying, then didn't you also bully the children and grandchildren of your sister's family first? ”

The Queen Mother was responsive, articulate, and eloquent, and she was completely different from the scared Jia Luo just now.

"I don't care, if you don't give me an explanation, I won't leave."

"Alas, Garo, it's good for you to accompany me, and I can almost go with you."

"What are you doing with me? I have a husband who loves me, and I won't take any woman to my husband. ”

"Hehe, Garo, you're still so domineering even if you're a ghost."

"Where am I going! I also have something to be afraid of, let me tell you, I'm afraid of light. Just like you, I'm afraid of all the light! ”

The queen mother's voice paused: "Are you afraid of light? ”

"That's right! Afraid of light! ”

"Come on, open the window, and hold the lamp!"

"Don't! Fourth sister, don't! I, I'm going to find my husband first. ”

Zhang Jin circled around the room, stomped his footsteps on the ground, turned back to the Queen Mother, and said softly in his original voice: "Queen Mother, the doors and windows have been opened, and there are ten lamps in charge." Where's Garo? ”
