The Empress Dowager's illness was inexplicable.

After the death of the queen, the empress dowager became ill, first coughing intermittently, and was afraid of cold. I changed a few doctors and took a lot of medicine, but I never got better.

During the day, the Empress Dowager copied scriptures and recited Buddhism in good spirits. At night, the whole person is in a trance, feverish and talking nonsense.

Before Chen Xiaohu left Beijing, he deliberately entered the palace to ask to see the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager had just fallen asleep, and the grandmother beside the Empress Dowager did not dare to disturb, so she did not see it. The emperor and the little princess were there that day, and the princess was not impressed by her aunt Lu Yangge, and heard Chen Xiaohu say that she was going to Lingnan to pick up the eldest princess, but she only said that she would ask her aunt on her behalf.

The emperor deliberately talked to Chen Xiaohu for a long time, with only one meaning, and told Chen Xiaohu to find the princess and take her back to Beijing.

Lu Yangge didn't expect that when she left the palace, the Empress Dowager was fine, why did she only leave the palace for more than half a year, and the Empress Dowager was so sick?

Subconsciously, Lu Yangge thought of Chen Luxing first.

Is it possible that Chen Luxing knew the cause of the queen's death and took action against the empress dowager?

Lu Yangge grabbed Chen Xiaohu's wrist: "Yes, it's the emperor?" ”

Chen Xiaohu's gaze swept over the slender white fingers on his wrist, and then he looked away: "Princess be cautious." ”

Lu Yangge noticed his gaffe at this time, hurriedly withdrew his hand, sat upright, and coughed lightly before asking, "What did the imperial doctor say?" ”

"At the beginning, the imperial physician said that the queen mother was suffering from wind and heat, and the queen mother was not in good health, but after taking two pairs of wind and heat medicine with a total of 14 packs, the illness did not heal but became more and more serious. Later, they were replaced by Imperial Doctor Zhang and Imperial Doctor Min, and Imperial Doctor Zhang and Imperial Doctor Min both said that the Empress Dowager had stayed in the small Buddha Hall for a long time, and her body was cold, which was a disease of wind and cold. ”

Chen Xiaohu lowered his head, and a wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Your Majesty was furious when he found out, saying that the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital were all rice buckets, and they couldn't tell the difference between wind, cold, wind and heat, and let the Empress Dowager suffer so much for nothing." Order all the imperial physicians to consult, and be sure to ask them to check the symptoms of the Empress Dowager. ”

Lu Yangge didn't need to ask, but he didn't find out. If it had been found out and the Empress Dowager's illness had been dealt with in time, Chen Xiaohu would not have appeared here.

Seeing that Lu Yangge didn't say anything, Chen Xiaohu raised his head and glanced at Lu Yangge quickly, before bowing his head and continuing: "Actually, the diagnosis of Imperial Doctor Zhang and Imperial Doctor Min should be correct, and the Empress Dowager will be fine after using the medicine. It's just that it didn't take long for the Queen Mother to get hot again. During the day, the Empress Dowager did nothing, and her diet was normal, but at night, she began to have an intermittent fever, and she always had a fever two or three times a night. When it was dawn, the Empress Dowager would be fine again. ”

Lu Yangge pondered, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out what kind of disease it was.

What disease occurs during the day and at night?

"Before I came, Mrs. Shen also entered the palace, and the old lady said......"

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaohu hesitated for a while before continuing, "The old lady said that the Empress Dowager may be worried about the first emperor and asked the emperor to personally go to Dongyang County to burn incense and paper to the ancestors, maybe the Empress Dowager will be cured." ”

Lu Yangge didn't say a word when she heard it, she was not an atheist, but her past life and present life were originally very magical.

In this matter, she would rather believe what she has than what she doesn't.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Yangge asked, "Then what did the emperor say?" ”

"Your Majesty heard this, of course, he wanted to go, but the courtiers didn't let him, saying yes, saying that the country could not be without a king for a day. It's better to let the emperor marry a wife, the queen is a phoenix's life, maybe a rush, the queen mother's illness will be cured. ”

"This is really everything that is inseparable from the election of the queen, even the queen mother is sick, and she can be pulled to the queen election." Lu Yangge sneered and asked, "Brother Xiaohu, do you know who the queen candidate is?" ”

Brother Xiaohu, Chen Xiaohu's lips trembled slightly. There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, he hasn't heard this little tiger brother for many years. In order not to lose his honor in front of Lu Yangge, Chen Xiaohu could only secretly clench his fists to resist the throbbing in his heart.

"I heard Brother Shen say this, Brother Shen said that there are three candidates for the queen who will be sent, and one is the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu family, who is the same age as His Majesty. One is the niece and granddaughter of the right prime minister, one year younger than His Majesty. Also, there is the daughter of the third brother Shen's family. ”

Chen Xiaohu and Lu Yangge are cousins, and they are not related to the Shen family. But because of Lu Yangge, Chen Xiaohu has been walking around with the Shen family as his uncle all these years, and he and the Shen family brothers are also shouting as a big brother and a third brother.

"Huh."

Hearing that the daughters of the Shen family were there, Lu Yangge laughed angrily.

These people, for the position of a queen, are simply doing everything.

Come to think of it, the Shen family was just selected to show the Empress Dowager. Who called the current emperor the grandson of the Empress Dowager, and the Shen family is the Empress Dowager's maiden family. Even she, the princess, is the niece of the Shen family.

The Shen family has little rest, Shen Zhenghai and Shen Zhenghe only have brothers to help each other, and the Shen brothers only gave birth to five sons and one daughter. Although the two families do not live together, they live next to each other, and the door is open in the middle of the courtyard, and they move around frequently, and the relationship is rarely close.

It can't be said that the Shen family has lived a life of the Empress Dowager with flowers and brocade cooking oil, but among the in-laws of the royal family, the Gongsun family has declined, and Chen Quan's uncle's family is not worth mentioning, and the only one who can be regarded as having connections and abilities in the court is the Shen family.

Now, everyone has pulled the Shen family on the big boat, for the sake of the Shen family's face, the queen of heaven may be able to add fuel to the fire, so that the emperor can be elected as soon as possible.

As for whether the girl of the Shen family has the phoenix life to be the queen, it depends on the emperor's thoughts.

If the girl of the Shen family really becomes the queen, the big boat of the Shen family is estimated to capsize as soon as the empress dowager leaves.

Of course, it is best for the girl of the Shen family to be an escort honestly, even if she enters the palace to be a concubine, it is better than sitting in the position of the queen and causing people to worry.

Lu Yangge: "What did the big brother say?" ”

Chen Xiaohu sat up straight: "The eldest brother said that the life of the Shen family is very good now, and there is no need for icing on the cake. Therefore, the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law entered the palace to see the empress dowager, and they had already set up a relationship with the little niece, and they also agreed with the in-laws that they would wait for another six or seven years, and the little niece would marry when she was eighteen years old. ”

Poor little niece of the Shen family, she is still a child. If it weren't for those courtiers, the Shen family would not have been in such a hurry to set up a family affair for her, so she would have to pick a few years.

Lu Yangge: "Who's the house?" ”

Chen Xiaohu: "It is the maiden nephew of the Duchess of Zhenguo, I heard that she is very smart and clever, and she has already taken the test to show her talent and fame, and the future is promising." ”

This future is expected to be said by Brother Shen, it can be seen that the Shen family is still satisfied with this niece and son-in-law.
