Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Queen Looks Forward to Her Return, Outside the Gate of the Palace of Horrors
"Xin'er, is there any news about Qing'er outside?"
"Qi Yu Niangniang, this time has been a lot calmer. The palace maid Xin'er cleaned up the tableware on the round table in the palace and was about to retreat, when she was stopped by the queen.
"Huh...... Those who echo the voice are really not the intention. No way...... Can't sit back and wait......"
After many days, there was still no news that Li Sishen was trapped in a mountain bandit's den.
"Xin'er, this palace wants to change clothes. Xin'er heard her master's words, turned the screen, picked up the phoenix robe that had been folded, and respectfully changed it for her master.
The queen couldn't hold back the anxiety in her heart, so she first sat at the round table and immersed herself in thoughts, and after a while, Xin'er followed her out of the palace, planning to go to the emperor to ask about Li Sishen's situation.
"Niangniang, at this time, Your Majesty and the ministers are discussing in the court, now go and ...... Will it bother them?"
"Xin'er, the stakes are high...... Qing'er is in the hands of the mountain bandits for one more day, and the danger increases by one point. They can wait, but Hongu, the mother, can't wait. "The sixth prince is the favorite of the mother, holding it in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting. If it weren't for the six princes who were sent out of the palace back then, Niangniang would not be like now.
The palace maid Xin'er lowered her head slightly and followed the queen's side, silent.
When she walked outside the door of the palace and political hall, she suddenly heard the courtiers in the hall talking about the six princes falling into the hands of mountain bandits. The queen did not immediately step over the threshold, but reminded Xin'er not to speak out in sign language.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has left the southwest epidemic area not long ago, and is now on his way back to Beijing. The minister heard that the six princes had arrived in the area of Hukou Mountain, but it was said that there had been mountain bandits there for a long time, and the six princes passed through this place...... The ministers were afraid that the six princes would be in danger. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The sixth prince has not sent any news to the capital for a long time, and Weichen thinks that some people should be sent to inquire or if the prince is in danger, we should also prepare in advance. ”
Some ministers suggested that the situation of the six princes was unknown and they had not heard the news for a long time, so they should send someone to negotiate with the mountain bandits. Let the mountain bandits let the six princes leave, if the mountain bandits still don't let go, if necessary, they can be solved by force. When the lord was making a request to the emperor, Dong Shangshu stood up from the ranks of the ministers.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that this matter still needs to be considered. It is normal for Lord Lin to care about the safety of the six princes, but as the saying goes, 'rabbits bite people even when they are in a hurry'! If the mountain bandits are forced to rely on force to calm down, the situation will inevitably expand, and it will be even more unfavorable to the rescue of the six princes. When Dong Shangshu said this, the ministers whispered and whispered.
According to what Master Dong said...... What's your opinion?"
"Prime Minister, you and I both know in our hearts how fierce that mountain bandit is. They are entrenched here, rampant and domineering, fish and meat in the country, and they are powerful, which of these people is not hateful?"
That means that there is no way to take the mountain bandits? When Prime Minister Han Cheng heard Dong Shangshu's words, his face looked very gloomy. The old puppet is playing tricks again.
Empress Xian frowned when she saw the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and the ministers couldn't make up their minds, so they fainted outside the palace gate in a hurry.
"Yu'er ......"
The emperor and his ministers heard a noise outside the palace gate, and turned around to find that it was the queen who had fallen to the ground. Xin'er, the palace maid beside her, was also frightened and panicked, and the ministers hurriedly stopped the discussion, and the emperor also called the palace people to help the queen up.
"Come on, send the queen back to the palace safely. ”
When the ministers saw the queen who was already unconscious, they knew that she knew about the discussion of the six princes in the court just now in the hands of the mountain bandits, and some ministers couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh when they saw this.
"Lord Dong, look at the current situation......" Lord Zhao stood beside him and muttered quietly.
"What are you afraid of, the queen mother is just weak, and she will recover in a few days of cultivation. ”
When Lord Zhao heard him say this, he also echoed a few words.
The queen was helped back to the harem to rest by the palace people, and the emperor called Imperial Doctor Zhang to come for treatment. Imperial Doctor Zhang hurriedly took the medicine box, first observed the queen's complexion and tongue coating, and carefully diagnosed and treated the pulse.
"Imperial Doctor Zhang, look...... Mother's illness ......"
"Your Majesty, although the queen mother's body has been recovering since she gave birth, she should also pay attention to not having obvious ups and downs in her emotions, otherwise the old disease may recur. Niangniang's current coma is also caused by the rush to attack the heart, and she has to be taken care of, and the time required to recuperate this time will be relatively slow. ”
Imperial Physician Zhang picked up the brush and rice paper on the table and wrote a few lines, and the emperor looked at the prescription he had written, and a touch of melancholy filled his pupils.
