Lin Su raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother seriously.

"If the queen mother believes in the concubine, the concubine will dare to say it."

"You say." The Queen Mother bowed slightly, signaling Lin Su to continue. Lin Su said in a low voice: "In this harem, there are only two women with a higher status than the concubines. Queen, and ......" she looked down at her fingers nervously. "Also, the Queen Mother."

"Presumptuous!" Empress Dowager Zhao suddenly opened her eyes and glared at Lin Su angrily, "The mourning family has always thought that you are quite well-behaved, but they didn't guess that you are so bold......"

"The concubine panics." Lin Su immediately knelt down in the carriage. "Although the idea of a concubine is disrespectful, it is also the only possibility. The concubine knew in her heart that the queen mother would naturally not harm the emperor, after all, the emperor was the queen mother's son, but ...... But ......"

"However, you think the queen has this possibility." Empress Dowager Zhao snorted coldly, "So, what motive does the queen have to do this rebellious thing?" ”

Lin Su hesitated, not knowing if he should say something.

She struggled in her mind for a long time, but in the end she just leaned over and bowed her head in the carriage without saying a word.

After a long time, the Queen Mother sighed, and her tone softened, with exhaustion. "Alright, get up. The mourning family is just asking you a few words, although what you said is ridiculous, but it is not unreasonable. ”

Her voice was getting lower and lower, Lin Su listened respectfully, and waited until the Queen Mother stopped talking, then Xie En slowly got up and sat aside, "It's the concubine who has overstepped, thank the Queen Mother for her forgiveness." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao nodded slightly, and then stopped talking. Seeing her like this, Lin Su sat quietly and listened to the jingling of the golden bells hanging at the corners of the carriage, and his heartbeat, which had been accelerated by nervousness, slowly returned to normal. She gradually relaxed, only to feel that the undershirt inside her clothes was already soaked with cold sweat.

The carriage slowly stopped, and the door was opened by Xia Yan. Lin Su was helped out of the car by her, and then the two turned around together to help the Queen Mother get out of the car.

"The Queen Mother, the slave maid went to knock on the door, and this cold palace is becoming more and more desolate now." The grandmother who followed came back and said, "It's desolate inside, did the Queen Mother ask the Queen Mother to come out?" ”

"Anyway, it's also the daughter-in-law of the mourning family, I haven't seen her for many days, so the mourning family should go in and see her." Empress Dowager Zhao watched the peeling door being slowly opened, and then gently shook the hand of Lin Su, who was holding her, with one hand, and then said, "The imperial concubine will go in with the mourning family." ”

Xia Yan and the two grandmothers followed behind and entered the cold palace that seemed to be a little cold. Zhou Shuxian's place of residence is slightly more than the inside. Lin Su couldn't help frowning when he saw that no one had taken care of the weeds on both sides of the road, and some of the leaves on the road were rotten.

Zhou Shuxian is definitely not such a sloppy person, even if she is lonely in this cold palace, there are still people around her who are waiting. According to Zhou Shuxian's temperament, she would definitely not look at such a desolate and dirty place in the cold palace.

And the more this happened, the more uneasy she felt.

It's too quiet in this cold palace.

"How long has it been since Concubine Lian took the second prince to visit the queen?" She turned her head to look at the eunuch who was leading the way, "Or, how long has it been since the queen mother came out?" ”

The eunuch looked back and smiled, bowing in envy.

"The Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine Mingjian, Concubine Lian has not visited the Queen Mother for half a month. Since that day Concubine Lian Niangniang left, the queen mother has been sick, and only the palace maids who serve around her send three meals a day and decoction medicine into it every day. ”

Saying that, they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard where Zhou Shuxian lived, and saw Xiulan, the palace maid who had not seen her for many days, sitting at the door dozing.

The eunuch who led the way immediately glanced back at the Empress Dowager Zhao, and the Empress Dowager Zhao waved her hand impatiently, and he woke up Xiulan in a low voice beside Xiulan.

"Too ...... The Queen Mother ......" Xiulan fell directly from the stool in a panic, and blood immediately knocked out of her forehead, but she didn't even dare to wipe it, so she quickly knelt down, "The slave maid asks for peace for the Queen Mother, and for the Imperial Concubine Niangniang." ”

"What about your masters? The mourning family heard that she was unwell, why are you, a close-fitting palace maid, still lazy outside? ”

Lin Su helped Empress Dowager Zhao over, and only when he got closer did he see the expression on Xiulan's face more clearly. The panic in her eyes is definitely not just because the Queen Mother saw that she was lazy.

"Is the queen mother okay? Have you asked the imperial doctor to come over to check the pulse, what kind of medicine are you taking now, but it is still symptomatic? If it doesn't get better, let the imperial doctor change the prescription again......" Lin Su's series of questions made Xiulan unable to react, but when she heard Lin Su's last sentence, she changed color.

“…… Concubine Lian has always been diligent in visiting the queen, why haven't you heard her mention it? ”

"Niangniang's illness is because of Concubine Lian." Xiulan replied suddenly, causing both Empress Dowager Zhao and Lin Su to raise their eyebrows, and the two of them looked at Xiulan together, but in the end, it was Empress Dowager Zhao who opened her mouth.

"Tell the mourners what the hell is going on?" Saying that, she stepped into the room, Xiulan knelt and turned around, until Lin Su waved her hand to get up, then she bent down and looked at her toes to enter and kneel down again.

Only then did Lin Su realize that only Xiulan, the palace maid, was left in the entire cold palace to serve Zhou Shuxian.

"What about the others?" Lin Su frowned, "This palace remembers that the emperor still treated Niangniang well, and ordered everyone who was used to serving Niangniang to come over and continue to serve Niangniang." ”

"Those people were all asked to leave by Concubine Lian. The queen also fell ill because of this. Xiulan quickly made it clear from before, and Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhou Shuxian still took her last breath, and it didn't really come to the worst result.

However, it is not much worse than the final result. Zhou Shuxian is now less intake and more out. Lin Su stood on the side of the bed and looked at Zhou Shuxian's unconscious appearance now, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said in a low voice: "The concubine looked at it, the queen's fingertips seemed to be a little blue. Xiulan, what did the imperial doctor say? ”

"The imperial doctor just came over to take a look twice, because the imperial concubine is ......" Xiulan glanced at Lin Su quickly, and then said in a low voice: "However, after prescribing medicine and taking it, although I didn't see that the condition was more serious, it didn't get better." The slave begged twice, but the imperial doctor was busy, so he never sent anyone to treat the mother again......"

Lin Su was silent, turned his head to look at the sitting Empress Dowager Zhao, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Empress Dowager, according to the concubines, no matter what, I still invited the queen mother to come over for diagnosis and treatment to see what was going on, right?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhao looked at Zhou Shuxian who was lying on the bed, and then nodded. Lin Su called Xia Yan to accompany Xiulan to the imperial hospital, and then personally threw a handkerchief and wrung it out to wipe Zhou Shuxian's forehead.

Although she hated Zhou Shuxian in her heart, she also knew that she would never be able to die at this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Wei Tiantian will really be hopeless.
