Chapter 604: Thirteen Days of Shock
Mu Jiaojiao returned to Cui's Mansion with his front foot, and the king of Fengjie County on the back foot really led someone to come to the door with the reward of the saint.
After handing over the things to Mu Jiaojiao, the king of Fengjie did not leave, but asked cautiously, "Is Sister at home?"
"Nature is there. She should be taking Ah Xuan with her now, right, I'll send someone to call her over now?" Mu Jiaojiao said.
"No, no, I'll just go over it myself. King Fengjie hurriedly waved his hand.
Mu Jiaojiao was not polite to him, so she called a maid over and asked her to bring the king of Fengjie to the little lady.
Seeing this, the eldest daughter-in-law, Lu Shi, couldn't help but be a little worried: "Auntie, a man from Fengjie County King entered the sister-in-law's boudoir without permission, I'm afraid this matter is not very appropriate, right?"
"It doesn't matter, the king of Fengjie County is a righteous gentleman, and the little lady is not a ghost in his heart. Besides, he has already regarded the little lady as the eldest sister, and this matter has been confirmed by the saint, so it is no different from his own sister and brother. Do you still need any scruples when your sister and brother meet?" Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.
Lu Shi bowed his head. "It's the daughter-in-law who thinks too much. β
In fact, she doesn't think too much, the king of Fengjie County does have a little strange feelings for the little lady. It's just that he is a person who is affectionate and polite, the little lady is already married, and he has already had a princess and children, and the two of them have no fate, and he will not force it like the emperor. However, the little lady of the Bolingcui clan is not something he can force if he wants to!
Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly: "Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle, let's go to the little lady and have a look!"
"Auntie, didn't you just say that it's okay for them to meet in private?" Lu Shi was shocked again.
"It's okay, but that doesn't stop us from having a good time, right?" Mu Jiaojiao said.
It seems that this truth is not wrong? Lu Shi looked at the concubine Li, Li Shi had already lowered his head, and his calm face was not shocked: "Everything is up to Auntie." β
The corners of Lu's mouth twitched, but he still followed the large army to the little lady's side.
At this time, the little lady's courtyard is inside.
The king of Fengjie County hugged Ah Xuan's little lady, ate the pastry that Ah Xuan handed to his mouth, and sighed with satisfaction: "Sister A, the food you made is the most suitable for my appetite!" No matter how delicate the things made by the imperial chef in the palace are, I always feel that something is missing after entering it. β
"If you like to eat, I'll ask someone to fill you with another box later, and you can take it home and eat it slowly. The little lady didn't want to say anything. This kind of thing happens almost every time the king of Fengjie comes over, and she is used to it.
Hearing this, the King of Fengjie County nodded hurriedly. "Okay, okay, but sister, you remember to be vegetarian, and my great-grandfather can't see it, I'm afraid it's just a matter of the past two days." β
"Okay, no problem!" the little lady nodded immediately.
The king of Fengjie looked at her and laughed stupidly.
Seeing this, the little lady Ah Xuan, who was sitting in his arms and playing with the jade pendant he was wearing, also grinned and smiled innocently.
The two people, one big and one small, laughed at each other, and the king of Fengjie couldn't help but sigh again: "It's still comfortable with you, sister." It makes me feel like an ordinary person, and I can enjoy the affection of ordinary people. Unlike in the palace, the queen's grandmother is now almost removing her father from the position of the crown prince and directly throwing Uncle Yue up!"
"She's definitely not going to make it. The little lady didn't want to say anything.
"Well, I think so too!" King Fengjie nodded hurriedly, and then smiled happily with a mouthful of white teeth.
After a while, the little maid outside ran in and said, "Madame, the eldest young lady and the second young lady are here!"
When he saw the group of bright clothes in front of him, the king of Fengjie immediately put away his smile and posed as the king of the county with his head held high.
The next day, the Emperor Taishang really died, and the saint was heartbroken again, crying to death, and Empress Zhang hurriedly asked someone to invite Mu Jiaojiao into the palace to give him a needle to save his life.
The saint came to his senses easily, so he cried and demanded that the emperor be buried thickly, and insisted that the emperor and the saint's biological mother, Empress Yang, be buried together.
The saints have spoken, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites naturally have to comply.
However, when the emperor was collecting the funeral, a small chamberlain appeared in front of the saint with a sachet in his hand: "Enlightened saint, this sachet was found in the sleeve of the emperor, it is a relic of the former Yang Guifei, what do you think should be done with this thing?"
After Yang Guifei passed away, Emperor Taishang only left such a relic by his side, and he kept it in his sleeve and took it out from time to time to reminisce. But now, the saint is extremely disgusted with Yang Guifei, and whether this object can be buried with the emperor in the end depends on the meaning of the saint.
However, after that day, the father and son hugged each other and cried, and the saint had already forgiven the emperor in his heart. When he saw the sachet again, he just waved his hand: "Over the years, the Emperor Taishang has always been obsessed with Yang Guifei. Now that the two of them are gone, let it continue to accompany the emperor, so as to relieve the emperor's lovesickness. β
The eunuch understood, so he went down with the sachet in his hand.
Mu Jiaojiao watched from the sidelines, and her heart was full of emotion. sighed, naturally, the Emperor Taishang is really a kind of eternal love, and he has a genuine true love for Yang Guifei! Just to fulfill this true love, they have hurt too many people.
Reluctantly confessed the matter, the saint collapsed on the bed again with exhaustion.
Mu Jiaojiao stepped forward again to check his pulse, and sighed weakly: "The saint's body is losing too much now, and he will definitely not be able to recuperate in a short period of time." The queen mother, you let people be careful, and you must not let him receive even the slightest stimulation. After he takes care of himself for another three months, I will give him other medicines, and his body will gradually improve. But if he is stimulated again in these three months, then I am powerless. β
Hearing her say so powerfully, Empress Zhang's face turned pale.
"Is it so serious? Since this is the case, then please Mrs. Cui please stay in the palace for a few days, so that you can recuperate for the saint. β
Mu Jiaojiao really didn't want to wade into this muddy water, so she said: "There are imperial doctors in the palace, and their medical skills are not good, I just teach them the treatment method." β
"But I still believe in you the most. Since you have rescued these saints several times, then you will help recuperate the saint's body next. In just a few days, as long as the saint improves, I will definitely send you out of the palace!" Empress Zhang said, "If Mrs. Cui is because you miss Xiao Langjun at home, then it doesn't matter, I will ask someone to take him in to accompany you." β
"No need!" Mu Jiaojiao quickly interrupted her, "I'll stay." β
This Empress Zhang is now acting more and more arrogant, and now she is threatening her with Xiao Langjun!
And she is in the deep palace, and she is really helpless.
Empress Zhang smiled at this time. "Mrs. Cui, you are loyal to the saint, and I feel the same way. When the saint is well in the future, the saint and I will definitely be rewarded!"
She didn't want this so-called reward at all. If she could, she would rather go home to spend time with her children!
It's just that it's no longer possible.
Under the yin and yang, she was a foreign woman, and she was fortunate to be able to stand in the deep palace and witness the next thirteen thrilling days.
No, thirteen days is probably too long. The highlight is actually in the last two days.
In order to facilitate the treatment of the saint, Empress Zhang specially set up a warm pavilion on the edge of the Palace of Eternal Life for her to live temporarily, and there were several palace maids and eunuchs around her - these people were all Empress Zhang's henchmen. Mu Jiaojiao didn't care, just make her own medicine.
During these thirteen days, the crown prince and the king of Yue came every day to visit the saint, serve the saint with medicine and eat, and be filial and respectful. Empress Zhang has also been serving at the side of the saint, explaining him softly. The wife and son are filial, and the picture is staged in front of him, and the saint's mood is really much better. Within ten days, his complexion had become a little rosy.
However, on the twelfth day, the prince came to visit the saint as usual, and after feeding the saint with medicine, and the father and son discussed some small and small court affairs, he just withdrew, and the palace maid beside Empress Zhang greeted him: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the queen mother is invited." β
"What's the matter with the queen's mother?" the prince asked coldly, obviously not wanting to go over.
The palace maid said: "I don't know about this servant, but Your Royal Highness the Prince, you should hurry over! The queen mother will come to take care of the saint after she is busy! If the saint opens his eyes and can't see the queen mother, he will be in a hurry!"
The prince was filial, and when he heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, and obediently followed the palace maid.
However, in less than a stick of incense, I saw that Empress Zhang had already entered the palace, and there was no prince behind her, and her face was extremely ugly.
Looking at the saint who was still asleep, she suddenly asked Mu Jiaojiao: "Mrs. Cui, do you think the prince will be a good emperor in the future?"
"The queen, please forgive me, the concubine is a woman, and she doesn't understand these things. What's more, now that the saint is still there, it is too early to say that incident. Mu Jiaojiao said.
Empress Zhang was closed again, her face became more and more ugly, and she waved her hand: "Forget it, you can go down and rest!"
Mu Jiaojiao immediately turned around and went back to her warm pavilion.
It didn't take long for her to hear someone outsideβ"King Yue has arrived!"
Mu Jiaojiao's heart immediately tightened, and the hand holding the medicine pestle tightened suddenly.
That night, a gloomy wind blew outside.
Mu Jiaojiao got up early in the morning and saw the gloomy sky outside, and her mood sank involuntarily.
Get up, get dressed, washed, and then go to check the pulse of the saint. The saint woke up early and gave her a smile when he saw her.
"Mrs. Cui got up so early. It's just that what's wrong with the queen today? Why hasn't she come yet?" while letting Mu Jiaojiao diagnose his pulse, he muttered to himself.
"Maybe it's dealing with harem affairs!" Mu Jiaojiao said lightly.
"Yes. Now, the queen and crown prince are all busy, and I am the only one who is the most idle. The saint laughed to himself, "I don't know what the battle is like out there now." The queen refused to tell me about such an urgent military matter, lest it would irritate me and aggravate my condition. β
Mu Jiaojiao was silent, took out the golden needle that had been eliminated and pricked him with the needle, and then boiled the medicine with his own hands and fed it to him.
The saint was weak, and it took him one bite at a time to finish a bowl of medicine.
By the end of the day, it was almost noon.
"Why hasn't the queen come yet? And the prince, he should have arrived at this time in the past. The saint lay on the couch, his eyes involuntarily looking towards the door.
As if in response to his call, Empress Zhang really appeared at the gate.
It's just that now she has a disheveled hair and a swaggering expression. Stumbling all the way into the temple, when she saw the saint, as if grasping a life-saving straw, she jumped directly onto the couch and held the sleeves of the saint with both hands. "Holy save me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard footsteps approaching. Immediately, I saw Li Fuguo come in with a group of swords and axes.
The cold murderous aura struck him, and the anger on the saint's face quickly subsided.
"Li Fuguo, you, you are going to ...... What are you going to do?" he quickly whispered weakly.
"Qi Qi saint, the queen mother conspired with the king of Yue to rebel, in a vain attempt to kill you and the prince to stand on their own, fortunately, His Royal Highness the prince discovered their conspiracy in time, and sent his ministers and others to arrest the rebel!" Li Fuguo shouted loudly, a pair of tiger eyes stared, and unceremoniously stared at Queen Zhang who was hiding behind the saint, "The traitor Zhang, the evidence of your crimes is conclusive, why don't you quickly arrest him?"
Empress Zhang was so frightened that she cried and hurriedly grabbed the sage's hand. "Holy save me!"
However, the saint who was physically weak had already been shocked by the momentum of Li Fuguo and others. The mouth was also wide open, and it couldn't be closed for half a day.
Seeing this, Li Fuguo was impatient to wait any longer, so he walked up to the couch, pulled Queen Zhang out from behind, and dragged her out of the Palace of Eternal Life.
"Sage save me, save me!" Empress Zhang was so frightened that she kicked her hands and feet, and her terrible screams were still clearly audible after a long time.
"Queen, my queen......" The saint reacted easily, and hurriedly stretched out his hand forward, but he was physically exhausted, so he almost fell to the side. Then he tilted his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly stepped forward.
However, at this time, I saw Cheng Yuanzhen dodging and stopping in front of her. "Mrs. Cui, I heard that you have been busy with the saint for a long time?
He said to Mu Jiaojiao with a smile, and then said to the left and right: "Come, please ask Mrs. Cui to go back to the warm pavilion to rest!"
