At the beginning of July, in the deep palace, outside Zhu Dong's painting beams, several crape myrtle trees are brilliant and steaming.

Ci'an Palace is equipped with a hall, and the window screen is replaced with a shadow veil, which is set against the flowers and trees in the courtyard.

On the carved kang near the window, there are soft bamboo mats woven with flowers and birds, and the scenery outside the window extends into the room.

A few branches of cinnamon are in the beauty, and the dark fragrance rises and falls with the warm breeze that flows into the window.

Although it was silent, the palace maids in the row along the next door station were all waiting for their eyes, and the hall was not solemn, but a little quiet.

The Empress Dowager was kneeling cross-legged on the soft mat at this time, concentrating on reading a book of strategies in her hand, although she was in the Yanju place, she still wore a phoenix crown in her hair, and was wearing a brocade with large sleeves and a rather formal dress.

It's not so light, and it will inevitably be dull and hot, but after all, when it comes to the fire, it is inconvenient to place an ice basin in the house, and there is a palace maid gently playing a banana fan next to it.

For example, the aunt knelt on the other side, inspecting the criticism sent by the Qianming Palace, since the Empress Dowager was in the court, these folds sealed by the Son of Heaven Zhu need to be treasured by the Ci'an Palace before they can be distributed.

If there is no old routine government affairs, such as the aunt knows how to use the seal, there is no need for the Queen Mother to look at it again.

This work was originally completed by her and Wei Zhao together, but Wei Zhao went to Wenyuan Pavilion to invite the King of Chu to meet him at this time, and he was not present.

For example, when my aunt raised her eyes slightly, she saw that the Empress Dowager looked very solemn, but she secretly sighed.

In the past, Niangniang was very scruples about His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but seeing that the saint was instigated by the Qin family to press step by step, the King of Chu still refused to put the princess in spite of compromising on the so-called "overall situation".

When His Royal Highness was young, the Empress Dowager was already very fond of her.

But the people of the heavenly family, sometimes because of the four words of power and interests, have to put their feelings in the second place.

But these days, the Empress Dowager asked about the military reform carefully, often with the King of Chu long talk, and then presented this plan, the Empress Dowager saw last night that the third watch was unwilling to let go, and after the court meeting today, she read it carefully, and even asked His Royal Highness to come to Ci'an Palace to discuss in detail, which shows the trust.

In the future, there should be no more taboo against the King of Chu, and the Queen Mother is far more proficient than the Son of Heaven.

For example, my aunt can't help but stretch the corners of her lips.

In fact, the king and his wife did not buy and lure her, and they did not even take the initiative to inquire about the affairs of Ci'an Palace, but if her aunt was unwilling to completely stand idly by, she always thought about "taking care of her", of course, this is also based on the premise that there is no harm to Ci'an Palace.

Sometimes, there are such people and things in the world, not for utilitarianism, only for the deed to be willing to help, Yu Feng was young and sick at that time, but also often by the queen mother's attention, to live in the palace, such as the aunt has always respected, not to mention the beautiful scene, since childhood and such aunt is familiar, this pair of people to become husband and wife, such aunt really feels that heaven is a good fate, selfish heart is more reluctant to see them encounter trouble.

In addition, if the aunt does not feel that the Son of Heaven has filial piety to the Empress Dowager, she secretly speculates that the Son of Heaven is growing in wings, and it is bound to violate the dignity and seize the power, so she reveals some key points to the Chu King and his wife, so that they can act cheaply, and promote the Empress Dowager to protect the two, and in turn, the Chu Wangfu will also be loyal to the Empress Dowager and assist in supervising the government, such as the aunt feels no pressure.

The seal treasure between the slender jade fingers fell steadily on the chapter, as when the aunt's eyes flickered, she saw that under the shade of the crape myrtle flowers, Wei Zhao returned alone, for some reason, Aunt Ru felt that Wei Zhao's steady pace that she tried to control still revealed a trace of anxiety.

What happened?

If my aunt is still pinching her sleeve with one hand and holding her wrist with the other, she will be stunned.

Not long after, as soon as the brocade curtain rolled, Wei Zhao walked in, his eyebrows showing more and more obvious anxiety.

"Niangniang, Ah Zhao just went to Wenyuan Pavilion, and saw that Su University was anxious and rushed out, and when he asked, he learned that His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly fainted, as if he had a high fever...... It has been passed on to the medical officers of the Tai Hospital for diagnosis and treatment, although His Royal Highness has been awakened after the injection has been applied, but the medical officers have said that ...... Although His Highness's illness is not a serious illness, if there is no major problem in changing others, it can be ...... His Royal Highness was once highly poisoned, and his body was not as good as ordinary people, and this time the illness was a prepondered illness, and it was overstrained, and I am afraid that it was critically ......."

Although the female official has a rank and rank, she is more noble than the ordinary palace maid, but it is still a royal slave, originally such as the aunt and Wei Zhao in front of the royal family members to call themselves maids, but the queen mother read that the two of them are from famous ladies, and do not let them be humbled, and they call themselves by their names with concessions instead of the word "slave maid".

Wei Zhao's words, not to mention that her aunt was anxious, the Empress Dowager also held the case steady, and leaned over slightly: "Yesterday, the mourning family saw Feng'er, it was no different, how did it suddenly come to this point!" Which medical officers are going to the Tai Hospital, there will never be only one Jiang Yuan envoy! ”

When Jiang Yuan said these three words, the Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of anger, and the root of her teeth seemed to be clenched.

But Wei Zhao and Aunt Ru were both disturbed and flustered by the fainting of King Chu's serious illness, and they didn't pay attention to the different colors of the Empress Dowager.

"In addition to the envoy of the Jiang Academy, several court judges and imperial doctors on duty have all gone to Wenyuan Pavilion." Wei Zhao is again.

"Jiang Hanke is also there?" The Empress Dowager asked.

Jiang Qinggu she can't believe it, since she ascended the throne, this person has become the exclusive medical officer of Shoukang Palace, frequent contacts, the Empress Dowager also coldly ignored it when she learned about it, but she is not worried that the Empress Dowager will do something "lewd / chaotic palace", as long as she has the courage, as long as she has this behavior, but a glass of poisoned wine is a thing, and the medicine in Ci'an Palace naturally does not go through Jiang Qinggu's hands, the Empress Dowager has her own cronies, not Jiang Qinggu's court envoy has the right to control.

But Jiang Han was recommended by Yu Feng, although he was the son of Jiang Qinggu, he was not in the same league as his father, and he was even more resistant to the Queen Mother.

"The Jiang Yuan judgment was present, and the final diagnosis was that he informed Ah Zhao, it turned out that His Royal Highness had faintly felt unwell a year ago, but the Jiang Yuan judgment and the good doctor of the royal palace had no good prescription to improve, the real reason, the poison was too fierce back then, although it was solved, His Royal Highness was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the sudden serious illness."

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath: "Hurry up and Zhao Jiang Han to come and see!" In any case, you can't let Feng'er have any accidents! ”

——

In the Shoukang Palace not far from here, the Queen Mother was also listening to Jiang Qinggu's report on Yu Feng's condition, her eyebrows furrowed deeply, but the corners of her lips gradually smiled: "In this way, Yu Feng is afraid that there is no medicine this time?" ”

When the word "yes" was heard, the Queen Mother became more and more happy.

The Qin family suffered a heavy blow, although the queen is still in the middle palace, it is just a lingering breath, seeing that the concubine is expected to take her place, the queen mother really feels that she wants to, but it's just that although the Qin family has suffered a big loss, the queen mother actually took this opportunity to announce the coming dynasty in public, and meddled in government affairs openly, so how could the queen mother be willing?

She is the biological mother of the Son of Heaven, but she has never thought of interfering in the military and political power of the emperor, how can she be happy to see others involved?

But Ci'an Palace has the support of Su and Chu in the back, and there is an edict from the first emperor, and it is also a military talisman!

The Empress Dowager is still "merciful", and she did not announce that the military talisman is not in the hands of the emperor, otherwise I am afraid that the civil and military officials will criticize the legitimacy of the saint's succession, and those who are "neutral and wait-and-see" will only surrender to Ci'an Palace.

And even if the Son of Heaven can "retract" the military talisman, with the help of the Su and Chu parties in Ci'an Palace, the next situation will be very unfavorable.

The Queen Mother can't think of any good way to solve the urgent needs of the Son of Heaven, but she undoubtedly hates Su and Chu, and now the King of Chu is seriously ill, and the King of Xian only has such a single seedling, and the King of Chu has been married for many years, but there is still no heir! As long as the king of Chu dies and there is no successor in the line of King Xian, can the queen mother not be happy?

It is really the heavens that have eyes, and the saint is the destiny of heaven, and one day it will be regained power, eradicate the power of Su and Chu, and set Ci'an Palace in the air.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother sneered: "Yu Feng is the prince, this time he is seriously ill, the Holy Lord naturally has to express his concern, Qinggu, you are the head of the Tai Hospital, and it is natural for you to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, remember, it is bound to make Yu Feng seriously ill and die!" ”

Jiang Qinggu frowned heavily, got up and said: "Niangniang, the lower official is a doctor, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu is the same old age, so I really don't want to ...... anymore" At that time, although he was forced to secretly help the Son of Heaven, he only provided an antidote to ensure that the poisoning of the Son of Heaven was solved, and this time the Queen Mother wanted him to participate directly, and it was aimed at the King of Chu, Jiang Qinggu felt embarrassed.

"Qinggu, on the day of the death of the first emperor, he saw you and the saint, and he openly questioned the poisoning of King Fu, and Ci'an Palace must also know the truth! Your family's life can only be protected by the saint, and at present, the king of Chu is obviously not subservient, if he is not cured, it will be beneficial to the saint. The Queen Mother stepped down and helped Jiang Qinggu up: "It's not that you want to harm the King of Chu, you also say that he is critically ill and has no medical treatment, as long as he is a little neglectful...... The mourning family is also asking for peace of mind. After speaking, the palm of his hand slipped, and he actually shook his palm: "Qinggu, the mourning family will not forget your deep friendship, if it weren't for you, my mother and son would be able to enjoy honor, Qinggu, even if the mourning family begs you again." ”

Tears in her eyes, and with the old love, the Queen Mother hit the arrow, and she saw Jiang Qinggu nodding, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
