Chapter 171: Hand-to-hand combat

The north wind swept the barren road, and the pegasus frightened the finches.

Even though someone arranged by the Four Rats changed horses for her at the post station, Lin Miaozhen still returned to Yanjing after galloping for five full days.

Under the Yongding Gate, the four rats who finally waited for the queen's mother breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and trotted forward to lead the horse for the mother.

Raising his hand and lifting the hood on his head, revealing extremely beautiful eyebrows, Lin Miaozhen tightened the reins and only asked, "How is the situation in the palace?"

"If you go back to your mother, it doesn't matter. It's just that you haven't appeared, and the villains in the palace can't sit still, first the two palace orders asked to see you, and then moved out of the queen mother, fortunately, there are Xu palace orders in charge, and there are the eldest princess and the two Hou ladies in the West Garden. Six or seven days ago, the Queen Mother suddenly said that her body was not right, and she transferred all the doctors of the Tai Hospital to see her, including Gong Yunlin, the deputy director of the Tai Hospital, who has been taking the pulse of your case, and now these days, the Queen Mother has only been sending eunuchs to guard the Gong Taiyi, and the wife of the Gong Tai Doctor, Yu Shi, has faint syndrome, and she has not been well for more than a month, and now the Gong Tai Doctor is trapped in the palace, and it is really painful."

As soon as the four rats said it, Lin Miaozhen understood that the Queen Mother may not have guessed that she was out of the palace, but she felt that there must be something unsightly about her pretending to be sick behind closed doors.

"It's okay, I'll go back to the palace immediately and save people, have you taken care of the Yu family?"

"Although I can't invite a doctor, the slave maid also went to ask a famous doctor in Yanjing City to consult the Yu family, but there is no improvement."

Lin Miaozhen nodded.

Then he asked, "How are you doing, Your Majesty?"

Hearing the queen mother ask about His Majesty, the four rats lowered their heads, thinking that even if His Majesty was angry in the palace, he would always stretch his eyebrows when he went to see Shen Niangzi, but he must not say this.

"Things in the court are a little unsmooth, but fortunately, Niangniang, you found that Wang Cunshu and were able to take her all the way to escape, Your Majesty will be much better after seeing your secret confidence."

Lin Miaozhen raised her head to look at Yanjing City, which had been shrouded in night, and after a while, she changed the carriage of the West Factory and walked into the palace.

At this time, Cining Palace was still lively at night, and a group of imperial doctors stood in the cold wind, waiting in line to consult the Queen Mother.

It's been six days, it's been six whole days, and the Queen Mother said that she has unbearable abdominal pain, and it's not always painful, it's just that it hurts from time to time, and it's when they're too sleepy, she hurts.

A moment later, the door of the Warm Pavilion of Cining Palace opened, and the court envoy Ruan Jie strode out with his head down, and several imperial doctors surrounded him, including Gong Yunlin, the deputy court envoy.

Ruan Jie didn't speak, he worked hard for six days, his lips were dry and his eyes were dry, he didn't want to speak at all, he just gently pressed his hand down.

Watching his movements, the imperial doctors were silent.

The Queen Mother is the same as in the past few days.

The Queen Mother's face is ruddy, her voice is unmixed, and the pulse case is as usual, only this "ask", she has upper abdominal pain and lower abdominal pain at one time, and the pain on the left side is unbearable, and at one time it is colic on the right.

W-This is just faking illness!

It's been six days! The Queen Mother pretended to be sick for six days!

After the twentieth month of the lunar month, all the officials in the court and the central government are on vacation, although their imperial doctors do not have such good treatment, there are also people in the middle who have already asked for leave and want to go home to save their relatives, and now they are completely delayed in Cining Palace!

While they were feeling indignant in their hearts, a great eunuch walked out with his feet raised.

This person is Li Nianen, the eunuch in charge of Cining Palace, I saw him holding a dust whisk on his arm, and walked in front of the imperial doctors with steps, and by the light from the hall, he looked at these imperial doctors one by one.

His gaze stopped on Gong Yunlin's face, and Li Nianen said softly:

"The Queen Mother doesn't hurt much, and you don't need to go in and bother again, the two envoys will go to the side hall with our house to guard, and the rest will just go to the straight room and wait."

Turning his head and glancing at the palace gate, Gong Yunlin's heart was burning like fire, and he bowed his head to Li Nianen and made a big salute, he said in a dumb voice:

"Manager Li, Xiaguan's wife is seriously ill at home, and Xiaguan just wants to go home and take a look, and he will do it immediately

Come back."

"Hmph." Li Nianen's face had a lukewarm smile, "Lord Gong, you are gone, what if the Queen Mother has abdominal pain again?" Don't say that our family is unreasonable, you and I are serving the master, the master is on top, our net worth is on the bottom, you go back to look at the lady, and delay the master's affairs......

Without saying the whole thing, Li Nianen took two steps to the side hall, and then turned his head to look at Gong Yunlin who was standing in place.

"Lord Gong, when our family invites you, you should save some face for yourself."

After Ruan Jie and Gong Yunlin entered the side hall, Li Nianen strictly ordered several eunuchs to guard them all properly, and then hurried back to the Xinuan Pavilion of Cining Palace.

In the warm pavilion, the queen mother was letting the little palace maid kneel and beat her legs.

The aroma of ambergris filled the warm pavilion, she leaned on the big red golden phoenix pillow, and sighed faintly:

"If Qian'er is still there, why do the mourning family use such effort?"

Li Nianen lowered his head and didn't dare to answer.

In this way, the Queen Mother has been saying it all these years.

His Majesty refuses to give grace to the Queen Mother's mother, she will say.

His Majesty refuses to choose a show girl to enrich the harem, and she will also say.

His Majesty is unwilling to use the inner library to decorate the golden body of the world's Buddhist temples, she will also say.

Now His Majesty's exclusive favor queen has given all the power in the palace to Changchun Palace, deposing the title of the uncle of the Cao family, not to mention the Buddha, most of the annual festival in the palace has been reduced by half, and the queen mother can say it over and over again.

"The mourning family really can't figure it out, so what's so good about the Lin family, they can bewitch the two sons of the mourning family one after another." Thinking of Lin's foxy face, the Queen Mother Cao just kicked away the little palace maid who beat her legs.

These young women are all the same, all they think about is how they can hook up with their husbands.

"In the past six months, that rebel has become more and more ridiculous, and he has made the Lin family pout what kind of female official, female official...... Hmph, the mourning family grabbed her handle this time, and they will definitely condemn her for the crime of filthy palace, and any dirty and smelly person dares to pull it into the palace, what kind of place does she think the palace is?"

Ever since he heard that among the newly elected female officials this year were either older and unmarried, or abandoned their husbands and entered the palace, or were young and widowed ominous people, Cao Chacha felt that his chest was blocked.

This breath, she has to sprinkle it on Lin Miaozhen no matter what.

After about half an hour, listening to the sound outside, Cao Chacha was also ready to go to bed.

Li Nianen retreated, and saw a noise in the side hall.

As soon as he walked over, he saw that the door of the side hall was wide open, and Gong Yunlin, the deputy director of the Tai Hospital, knelt straight on the ground.

He smiled.

"Deputy Envoy Gong, you just have to tell our family what kind of illness the queen mother has, and our family can intercede with the queen mother on your behalf and let you go out of the palace."

In the dark, Gong Yunlin looked at Li Nianen's face.

"Mr. Li, the queen's mother......

"Lord Steward, someone from the Qionghua Hall in Xiyuan has come to spread the word, and the queen mother has been worried when she heard that the queen mother is seriously ill and has been worried......

"Say no more."

Li Nianen stared coldly at the little eunuch who was talking, and then looked at Gong Yunlin.

"Deputy Envoy Gong, keep what you have to say."

Gong Yunlin's head was buried in the ground, and after a moment, he continued:

"Manager Li, the queen's mother's illness should be in the pulse case of the Tai Hospital, the queen mother wants to know, just go and investigate."

Li Nianen was so angry that he raised his foot and was about to kick it down, but when he saw Ruan Jie, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, looking at him, he kicked the little eunuch.

"Didn't you just say the queen mother, tell me quickly, how is the queen mother?"

"The queen said that she was better tonight, and she had returned to the palace from Xiyuan, and she was in front of Cining Palace at this time."

Hearing that the queen had come to Cining Palace late at night, Li Nianen was shocked and hurriedly went to deliver a message to the queen mother.

When Cao Chacha heard this, he hurriedly put on his clothes and got up.

After a moment, she sneered

"Okay, after these days of closed doors, you dare to force yourself in front of the palace gate of the mourning family, Li Nianen, you go and invite her in, the mourning family wants to see with your own eyes what disease this good daughter-in-law of the mourning family has today!"

The palace door of Cining Palace was wide open, and soon, two teams of palace people opened the way, and a woman wearing a sable coat slowly walked into Cining Palace.

"Erchen greets the Queen Mother."

Cao Cha Cha Tsai, who was sitting on the bed, carefully looked at the queen Lin in front of him, just to find some dissonance from her.

"Lin, you have been recuperating in the palace for so long, how can you lose weight?"

"The Queen Mother has been ill for a few days, Your Majesty is very anxious, and all the imperial doctors in the palace are waiting in Cining Palace. In this way, your majesty and your sons can rest assured."

Cao Chacha never thought that Lin would dare to talk to her like this, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and smiled coldly:

"Yes, the mourning family has to take good care of their bodies, otherwise, the harem of the Dayong Dynasty may not fall into anyone's hands."

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to be anxious, Your Majesty sits firmly in the country, and the harem of the Dayong Dynasty naturally belongs to the Zhao family."

Li Nianen on the side was flustered, and looked at his queen mother carefully.

In the past, when the queen mother faced the queen mother, she always forbears and retreats, and there is no difference between the hard-working daughter-in-law who is bullied by the mother-in-law of ordinary people, and even the palace people with them Cining Palace are living in the entire harem, even if Your Majesty has made it clear that the carriage and horse will support the queen mother, but Your Majesty is Your Majesty after all, and the affairs of the harem are still the Queen Mother's words, as long as the Queen Mother and Your Majesty reconcile one day, they can still live a free life in the past.

- Before, Li Nianen thought so.

But today, he knew he was wrong.

"The Empress Dowager, before the ministers were unwell, they handed over the palace affairs to Xu Gongling, and entrusted the care of the Empress Dowager to Zhang Gongling, I never thought that Zhang Gongling and Li Nianen, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace, did not serve well, and actually made the Empress Dowager suffer unbearable abdominal pain."

Taking advantage of the fact that the Queen Mother did not speak because she was surprised, Lin Miaozhen opened her mouth first.

No, it should be said, she drew the knife first.

During the days when she was out of the palace, Lin Miaozhen understood a truth.

This truth may be simple and rude to others, but it suits her exceptionally.

"There is no peace in the world that comes from forbearance, only victory that is the first to knock the enemy to the ground."

For Lu Zhongqi, she is so.

For the Queen Mother, why can't she do the same?

Raising her head, she looked directly at the woman who had spent her entire youth.

"Come on, take down Zhang Yongxu and Li Nianen!"
