Chapter 63 Civil scourge

Zhuo Yuancan's expression fell in Jiaolan's eyes. She didn't care. She just said, "Anyway, I brought the words. Your Majesty, you can do it by yourself." So he turned around and wanted to leave. After two steps, he stopped. "Your Majesty, I have a word. I don't know whether to say it or not!"

"What?" Zhuo Yuancan said in a muffled voice, "Tell me."

"Now the emperor is also about to become a father. Whether the emperor likes the Anzhi Palace or hates Yaohua Hall, Queen Zhen has not made much mistakes, and the prince who is about to be born is even more innocent. Even if the emperor's mood is unbearable, should he think about it a little?" Jiaolan turned her eyes and saw Shuang'er staring at her. She was obviously full of resentment, but she was not afraid to meet Shuang'er's eyes. "What's the matter, is there anything else to teach me?"

Shuang'er smiled gently and shifted her eyes to another place. "I dare not. Sister Jiaolan's status in Zhuque Palace is comparable to that of half a master. Even Queen Zhen has to look for the Empress Dowager's face and call Sister Jiaolan, not to mention me? However, although the emperor ignored the government, his identity will not change. Isn't Sister Jiaolan's words a little too much to teach the emperor a lesson?

"Lesson?" Jiaolan took a breath of cold air and said with a cold smile, "What a big hat is enough to kill people. If a refreshing beauty can't even distinguish between a commandment and a lesson, she will naturally be even more inseparable from loyalty and treachery. No wonder she always wants someone else's head!"

Shuang'er heard that there was something in Jiaolan's words. Her face changed and she was about to refute it, but she listened to Jiaolan and continued, "Please don't worry. Jiaolan is a person who knows her identity and will not be more arrogant. What's more, everything about Jiaolan is given by the empress dowager. Since the empress dowager can give it, of course, she can take it anytime and anywhere. Jiaolan doesn't have it. Is that bold to make trouble for no reason?"

Shuang'er's heart seemed to have been stabbed by a needle. Jiaolan was not talking about herself. She was obviously reminding her that everything she had was given by the Empress Dowager Li. Since the Empress Dowager Li could give it, she could take it away. If she didn't do what she did carefully and make trouble, Empress Dowager Li would definitely not let her go. In the so-called dispute between the two, What's terrible is not that Jiaolan's mouth is poisonous, but what Jiaolan said is the cruel fact that she is facing.

Shuang'er endured it and again, and said with a strong smile, "Oh, don't mind, Sister Jiaolan. Shuang'er has always been straightforward and says whatever she thinks of, so I hope you don't have the same experience as me. Shuang'er is here to compensate Sister Jiaolan!"

"Ok, that's enough. Don't make any noise. Aren't you tired like this all day long?" Zhuo Yuancan interrupted the two impatiently, "Sister Jiaolan, I accept your suggestion. Thank you for your hard work to tell me. I will consider it. Don't worry, please don't worry!"

Jiaolan thanked her and breathed a sigh of relief. She was really getting more and more arrogant, and she couldn't even if she didn't want to press her.

Leaving the Anzhi Palace, Jiaolan is going to arrange for the imperial doctor to go to Yaohua Hall the next day. This is a tricky matter. Which imperial doctor is willing to be sent out of the palace for no reason? If it spreads, it will also have a great impact on the reputation of the imperial doctors. Therefore, Jiaolan has to choose those who are almost interested in suing their hometown and give them a lot of money to leave the palace. They will leave gratefully and happily.

Fortunately, there are really two old doctors. Jiao Lan didn't say that she would go to Yaohua Hall to see Zhen Mei. She only asked them if they really wanted to return to their hometown, because the empress dowager woke up and contributed to the unremitting efforts of the imperial doctors. The empress dowager felt that they had served the court for many years. He rewarded them with a sum of money and asked them to go back to their hometown to take care of Tian Nian. The two old doctors were grateful. When they were ready to leave, Jiaolan dissuaded them.

Jiaolan said, "You two are both senior doctors. Your medical skills are naturally better than those young ones. I have a ruthless invitation in private. I don't know if you two are willing to help?"

The old doctor accepted Jiaolan's feelings in front of him. When he heard that Jiaolan had something to help, he naturally agreed. Jiaolan took the opportunity to tell Queen Zhen that she had been not feeling well recently. She asked the old doctors to finally use their own medical skills, just to help Empress Zhen diagnose her pulse and see if she had a serious illness.

The imperial doctors said, "It's the old man's job, but this is not a private matter for Miss Jiaolan. The girl just tells her, how can the officials not respect her?"

Jiaolan smiled and said, "Because the Empress Dowager has allowed you to leave the palace, I value your medical skills again. If you invite each other again, it will naturally be private, hehe."

After muddle through the test, Jiaolan went to the Yaohua Hall and said hello to Zhen Mei first. In case Zhen Mei couldn't calm down at that time, he would lose the whole game.

But Jiaolan did not tell Zhen Mei. Because the Empress Dowager Li had ordered that Zhen Mei could not know that all this was arranged by the Empress Dowager, Jiaolan only told Zhen Mei that she could rest assured to let the doctors diagnose her pulse the next day, and everything else would be done by herself.

Zhen Mei is really like an ant on a hot pot. She is so anxious that she doesn't know what to do. When she hears Jiaolan say, her hanging heart is finally put back into her stomach. She said with tears, "Jiaolan, don't worry, if my aunt has three or two shorts, you just come to my palace. I promise to treat you like my aunt, and I will never lose you a penny."

Jiaolanxin said, you can't protect yourself now. The difficulties will come one after another. Can you still talk about taking care of me? However, she thanked her face and said, "The queen has a heart. Jiaolan is very grateful. I hope the queen will take care of her health. After all, it is now unusual. If there is anything, Jiaolan will come to the queen to discuss it."

Zhen Mei nodded repeatedly, "If Miss Jiaolan is not busy, she can often come to Yaohua Hall to sit down. After Xiaoci disappeared, I don't even have a good person around me. It's really lonely."

Jiaolan left with a smile and guessed all the way. On the other side of the palace, it was making a loud noise.

Shuang'er was very quiet this time, and even Zhuo Yuancan was quite surprised. Although he didn't understand why Shuang'er and Jiaolan quarreled, he noticed that Shuang'er was very hostile to Jiaolan. However, Yuancan thought that it was all because Jiaolan was the person around the empress dowager. Because of the imperial concubine, Shuang'er inevitably had no good impression on the people in Zhuque Palace. Not to mention Shuang'er, Yuan Can felt very uncomfortable when he saw Jiaolan.

Shuang'er got up and went back to the room. Yuan Can thought that Shuang'er was angry and locked himself in the room as usual, so he waited for a while and guessed that Shuang'er's anger should be a little better. Then he went to push the door. Unexpectedly, the door was not locked. When he walked into the bedroom, Shuang'er was packing up.

Zhuo Yuancan approached and saw that everything was his own, so he stopped Shuang'er and said, "What are you doing? If you are uncomfortable, you won't drive me out of the imperial palace, will you?"

"Who said it was driving you away? Who dares to catch up with the emperor?" Shuang'er pushed him away angrily, "I think that Yaohua Hall really needs the emperor now. Your Majesty, you'd better go to Yaohua Hall for a while."

"I don't want to go, and I don't want to go!" When Zhuo Yuancan heard that Shuang'er mentioned the empress dowager, he immediately became stubborn. "Even if you want to go there to pretend, you don't have to live there. How far is the Yaohua Hall from the Songzhi Palace? I'd rather pretend to go there every day. Whoever loves to live in the past will go by himself.

Shuang'er smiled, and her smile did not hide her pride. What about the empress dowager? Who made the relationship between you and the emperor so bad? The emperor's heart now, but the nine cows don't want to pull back to the Yaohua Hall!

"Your Majesty!" Shuang'er turned behind Zhuo Yuancan, hugged him, and leaned his head on Zhuo Yuancan's back. He said softly, "Your Majesty, in any case, the incense continues. It is always a big happy event in our palace. We haven't had anything to be happy for a long time. It's easy for a good omen. You should be happy!"

"Auspicious omen? What a good omen?" Zhuo Yuancan was hugged by Shuang'er's warm body, and his nerves became much more relaxed. He was no longer as impatient as before.

"Of course it's a good omen!" Shuang'er continued, "Your Majesty, think about it, it's not too early or too late. At our most difficult time, God suddenly let the emperor have a queen, which shows that the emperor is the real emperor. Only the emperor is ordered by heaven, and the foundation of the world is immortal. Although the king of Wu is fierce, doesn't he have any descendants until now? God will definitely show the people in this way. The court will not fall. Not only will it not, but it will also inherit it. It will last forever!"

"Oh!" Zhuo Yuancan smiled gently and said, "Little fool, how can there be a world? Well, even if it's a good omen, what can it be?"

"It is because it is a good omen that the birth of the little prince is particularly important. It is not only important to the emperor, but also to the whole court. After hearing this news, those who wavering and trying to be the grass on the wall may have strengthened their confidence in the court and the emperor? Good emperor, a woman is pregnant in October, and it is not easy to give birth to a dragon son. No matter how important it is, she is also willing to have a safe birth. Therefore, please ask the emperor to move to the Yaohua Hall and accompany the queen more. As soon as the queen is happy, she will definitely give birth to a healthy, white and fat son.

Zhuo Yuancan said, "You... Do you really want me to move back to the Yaohua Hall? But I..."

"The minister and concubine knew that the emperor did not want to, and the emperor's heart must not let go of the minister. It doesn't matter. When the emperor is free, he can also come to the appendix palace to sit down and change the place to sleep. However, the concubine feels that the emperor's focus on the Yaohua Hall will make the empress at ease. It is said that pregnant women are the most restless and full of sadness. It can be seen how important the mood is!"

"Alas." Zhuo Yuancan shook his head helplessly, "You don't know. Even if I stay with the queen every day, I don't have anything to say. The two of them are bored and don't know how to spend the time. I feel flustered when I think about it."

"Oh, it's difficult for the emperor. It's wronged for the emperor. Thank you for your hard work!" Shuang'er let go of her arms and turned to Zhuo Yuancan with a smile, "When the prince is born, first say yes, emperor, I have to let my concubine hug the little emperor first, hee hee!"

"Okay, okay, it's up to you, you!" Zhuo Yuancan was so helpless that he finally agreed to go back to Yaohua Hall. Of course, he decided to go there for two days.

The pulse diagnosis was going very smoothly. The two old doctors were diagnosed very carefully, so it took a long time to come out one by one. Jiaolan invited the two old doctors to the side room and symbolically asked them to prescribe a prescription. The two old doctors discussed, "The queen's body is not serious, but she needs more recuperating, except for the benefits of the officials. Kidney tonic prescription, be sure to give the queen more tonics!"

Jiaolan was slightly surprised. Will there be less of the queen's supplements? But on second thought, maybe the imperial doctor can't diagnose anything wrong with it, so it is recommended to take care of the body as usual. At present, he didn't care much, so he asked the doctors to prescribe the prescription and said, "After the prescription is opened, you two can go home to pack up, Jiaolan. You still need to see the queen. Just put the recipe on the table. Jiaolan will pick it up later!"

The two imperial doctors agreed and began to discuss the content of the prescription. Jiaolan retreated. She did not want to see Zhen Mei, but had to tell the people below and secretly stared at the two imperial doctors until they left the capital.

He hurried back and met the resignation of the two imperial doctors. One of them said, "The prescription is on the case. Please rest assured, Miss Jiaolan. If you take medicine according to this prescription, you will definitely protect the queen's health. The feelings of the girl Jiaolan and the empress dowager will never be unforgettable. After returning to your hometown, the president will present incense candles and ask God to bless the empress dowager and the girl's health!"

Jiao Lan smiled. After all, the two doctors were old and wordy, so they bowed and saluted, "Then the maidservant will not be far away. I wish you both have a good journey!"

Returning to the side room, I saw that the green jade toad pressed a prescription under the paperweight on the desk. He picked it up and was about to look carefully. Suddenly, he saw a figure outside the door flashing. Jiao Lan was so scared that he quickly put the recipe into his sleeve. "Who?"

"It's the maidservant. The queen sent the maidservant to ask Sister Jiaolan. Is it all right?" It turned out to be Zhen Mei's maidservant. Jiao Lan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's done. Let's go. I'm going to see your mother."

Comforting Zhen Mei, Jiaolan rushed back to the Zhuque Palace before the middle meal. The Empress Dowager Li couldn't be away from others for too long. The other palace people, Jiaolan knew that they didn't know so much about Empress Dowager Li's thoughts and preferences.

Sure enough, before Jiaolan came back, the Empress Dowager Li just refused to eat. A maid of honor probably persuaded a few more words, which made the Empress Dowager Li lose her temper and swept the bowls to the ground. As soon as Jiaolan entered the door, she understood a little bit when she saw the situation, so she called the trembling palace people to go down first. In addition, she went to the dining room to get some new ones. Then he squatted down and began to clean up the wolfland.

"Who asked you to clean it up?" The Empress Dowager Li knocked on crutches and said, "These little bitches have become more and more unruly since Ai's illness. The Ai family doesn't want to eat, but they dare to force the Ai family. It's outrageous. Let's see how the Ai family cleans them!"

Jiaolan listened and kept tying. She just looked up and smiled and whispered to the Empress Dowager Li, "The maidservant has been arranged. Let's eat at ease?"

Empress Dowager Li was angry, but suddenly calmed down and was silent for a long time. Finally, she sighed, "Oh, let's eat, let's eat. The children are used to it, and I don't know how long they can eat."

The housekeeper sent by Jiaolan returned to the palace soon after. The two imperial doctors did take their bags and drove out of the city. Jiaolan's last trace of worry completely put it down. However, the two housekeepers told Jiaolan that they had heard a strange thing in the city, that is, Li Jin suddenly dismissed the doorman and stopped looking for it. Li Ren.

"How is that possible?" Jiao Lan was greatly surprised. There are only two possibilities for a father who does not look for his son. Either he knows the exact news of his son. No matter whether he is alive or dead, there is no need to look for him, or the father has been completely desperate to find him, but Li Jin will never be a person who gives up easily. Is it the former? He has mastered Li Ren's whereabouts?

But since you know Li Ren's whereabouts, why don't you find Li Ren? Unless Li Ren has been unsought, but even so, a father should at least bury Li Ren's body well. However, the two people sent out said that they had not heard anything about Li's funeral.

This matter is too strange. Jiaolan told the two to shut their mouths tightly. Before the matter is figured out, don't spread it in the palace and spread it to the ears of the empress dowager. They must be told that they can't eat.

The problem is that Marquis Li went to the palace two days ago and met the empress dowager. Jiaolan was also present at that time. Between Li Hou and the empress dowager, in addition to talking about the Empress Dowager's illness and some situations in the court, Li Hou did not show anything special. It was also strange to dismiss the family. Li Jin likes to make friends, so he raised a lot of staff and food. Guests, as well as Dingjia Nursing Home and so on. There are at least a thousand people. Why did they suddenly demobilize them? And the demobilization means that Li Jin also took out a lot of money and sent them in batches. This must be done in more than a day or two. Do you want to report such a thing against common sense to the Empress Dowager?

If it is reported, it will inevitably involve the disappearance of Li Ren. After hiding it for so many days, how will the Empress Dowager react when she hears it? There is no doubt that as an aunt, Empress Dowager Li also took good care of Li Ren. At a young age, she let Li Ren follow Li Jin to lead the troops and entrusted him with heavy responsibilities. In addition to his family, because he is the only direct bloodline of the Empress Dowager Li. Empress Dowager Li knew that he was missing. If he was not anxious, he was called It's strange.

But if you don't pay it, if something really happens to the Li family, it will definitely involve the Empress Dowager Li. At that time, won't it be too late to make up for it? Jiaolan struggled for a long time and did not decide whether to tell Empress Dowager Li or not.

In the evening, when Jiaolan helped the Empress Dowager Li wash her feet, she stammered and said, "Empress Dowager, I heard a strange rumor in the afternoon, and I don't know whether to say it or not. It's about Marquis Li."

"Li Jin? What's wrong with Li Jin? The Empress Dowager Li said lazily, as if she was not very interested in Jiaolan's topic. She thought that Jiaolan heard it, but it was some gossip.

"The maidservant sent two people to stare at the two old doctors who diagnosed Queen Zhen's pulse and went out of the city. They heard some rumors separately that Li Hou suddenly dismissed all the people under the door." Jiaolan tried to restrain her heartbeat and tried to say in a calm tone.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" The Empress Dowager Li originally supported her jaw with one hand and closed her eyes slightly to refresh her mind. At this time, she opened her eyes and said with a smile, "Is it possible that Marquis Li has changed his character and not made some friends?"

"Oh, I don't know, and I also feel so strange, so I can't help chewing my tongue with the Empress Dowager."

"It's true!" The Empress Dowager Li looked at Jiaolan affirmatively, "This is not like what he did. Is there something wrong?"
