The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

   Chapter 444 Stroke (two more)

  The 21st year of Chong'an's summer is destined to be an eventful autumn. First, the old prince assassinated the emperor, causing the emperor to be seriously injured and unconscious. After finally waking up and arranging for King Jing to supervise the country, there was no movement again.

   Then the old prince's evil deeds for many years were revealed from Mingxiangju, and the people were waiting for the emperor to recover so that the old prince could be convicted.

  The Queen Mother is back in the palace!

   The Queen Mother, who has never been back to the capital for nearly 20 years, suddenly came back at this time. Does it imply that the emperor is really dying?

   Looking at King Jing, who has been responding to many requests in the court recently, it is not difficult to guess that once the emperor dies, King Jing will naturally ascend the throne as emperor.

   Taking advantage of King Jing's great momentum, several families in the capital rose with the tide, among which the most prosperous were the residence of Prime Minister Liu of King Jing's outer family and the Shen family of Princess Jing's natal family.

   Needless to say, there is Liu Guifei, who has been favored all year round in the harem, and has always been the object of many officials' flattery.

  The Shen family raised their eyebrows for a while after the Oolong incident in Shen Ping's training room.

   So what if he was sacked from the official position, as long as King Jing sat in that position, Shen Pingxiu would still be the king of the country.

   Xu was told by someone that the Shen family had behaved well this time, and they didn't come to Shen Yijia when they were complacent.

   And Shen Yijia didn't take the Shen family's affairs to heart.

  I thought that the Queen Mother's return to the palace had nothing to do with her, but I didn't think so...

   "Is this the girl you told Aijia?" Empress Wei's voice sounded above her head.

  Shen Yijia returned to her senses and hurriedly saluted: "The minister's wife Song Shen has met the Queen Mother."

   Mrs. Qiu said with a smile: "Yes, thanks to this girl for staying with me these days, don't scare me."

   "Look at your distressed, get up quickly." Empress Wei waved her hand, and instructed the mammy beside her to move a small table between her and Mrs. Qiu, and beckoned Shen Yijia to sit over.

  Shen Yijia sat down obediently, and couldn't help but glanced at the grandmother again, such a thing as secret fate is really wonderful.

   She has never seen the queen mother, but this grandma is clearly the woman who took a ride that day, plus the time when the queen mother returned to the palace, it is not difficult to guess that the old lady wearing the curtain is the queen mother in front of her.

   At the same time, she was glad that she and Song Jingchen were both disguised that day.

   Mrs. Qiu said as a matter of course: "Don't feel bad, if I didn't have this girl, how could I be sitting here now, old lady?"

   Listening to the conversation between the two, I knew that the remarks that Mrs. Qiu and the Queen Mother were close friends were true.

   "That must be well protected." The Queen Mother Wei took Shen Yijia's hand, took off the bracelet from her wrist and put it on for her.

   Shen Yijia glanced at Mrs. Qiu, and when she saw her nod, she said, "Thank you Queen Mother."

   Not proud, let alone flattered.

  The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and patted the back of her hand: "He's a good boy."

  Shen Yijia resisted the urge to pull her hand back and pulled out a smile.

Xu Shi saw that she was uncomfortable, so Mrs. Qiu changed the subject and said, "You said you were too, why didn't you tell me in advance when you returned to Beijing? I heard Hui Xin say that your carriage had a problem in the middle of the road, and you are too bold. big."

"When Aijia was able to go out of Beijing by himself, why did he have to be picked up when he came back?" Empress Dowager Wei said angrily and glanced at the nanny on the side: "Why haven't you changed your stinky problem after so many years, everything is with her? Say."

  Mother Huixin smiled and said, "That's not because Mrs. Qiu cares about the queen mother, she asks the servant girl as soon as she sees it, and doesn't let the servant girl go without saying it."

   Mrs. Qiu also laughed: "Why, you can tell me before, but now you can't?"

   "Cheng, you are all in the same group, Aijia can't tell you about you." Queen Mother Wei said.

   The two chatted with each other like a joke again, and Mrs. Qiu corrected her expression and asked, "Is it because you are worried about Your Majesty's body when you return to Beijing this time?"

  The Empress Dowager arrived in the capital only yesterday, and asked her to bring Shen Yijia into the palace today. It would definitely not be as simple as wanting to see Shen Yijia.

  The queen raised her tea cup and took a sip. She glanced at Grandma Huixin, who understood and waved the palace servants down.

   "Ai's family is afraid that this summer will be in chaos." She sighed.

  The emperor did not come out of the womb of Empress Wei, and he was already the age of the governor when it was recorded in her name.

   As for her own child, she died when she was ten years old due to illness, along with all the maternal love in her, so apart from a name, she actually doesn't have much relationship with Jin Shang.

   This is also the reason why Empress Dowager Wei has been gone for so many years without returning to the palace.

   She could not calmly listen to an outsider calling her mother, watching that person occupy everything that should belong to her son.

   These Mrs. Qiu also knew about it. Even the reason why Empress Dowager Wei lost that child was that every woman in the harem could not get rid of it, including the biological mother of the current emperor.

   But what can Empress Dowager Wei do? She can't let the Shangguan family die for her own child, right?

   She has experienced turbulent times, and she no longer wants to see the scene where there are people everywhere, and the people are struggling to live.

  Walk far away, out of sight is pure.

   "It's a pity that Aijia found out that coming back won't change anything." She had a tired look on her face.

   Concubine Liu Gui didn't dare to stop her from seeing the emperor, but so what, she had been in this palace for dozens of years, how could she not understand the tricks in it?

   Mrs. Qiu opened her mouth to say something.

  The Empress Dowager Wei continued: "If I remember correctly, you told Aijia that this girl is still Song Daniu's grandson-in-law?"

  When Empress Dowager Wei left the capital, Song Yi had just married Li, and Song Jingchen had not yet been born.

   Mrs. Qiu paused, realized who Song Daniel was, and nodded, "Yes, do you still remember."

   In fact, very few people in Beijing know the name taboo of Mrs. Song before changing her name. Empress Wei knows it because she went to the battlefield with the late emperor and knew Mrs. Song very early.

   "The Song family are all good, but our Shangguan family is sorry for them."

   Now let alone Shen Yijia, even Mrs. Qiu doesn't understand what she means.

  Empress Dowager Wei didn't say much, she turned to look at Shen Yijia and said, "Have you brought that powerful maid by your side?"

   Shen Yijia was stunned for a moment, the only person she always took with her was Mo Yuan.

  The Empress Dowager Wei would know that she must have said it to her because Mrs. Qiu had spoken to her, and he would not think about Mo Yuan except her medical skills.

   Shen Yijia lowered her eyes: "I didn't follow me outside the palace gate."

   Not everyone can bring a maid to the palace.

   "Hui Xin, go for a walk and bring people in." Empress Dowager Wei ordered.

"Yes."

   After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Hui Xin walked in with Mo Yuan.

  The Empress Dowager Wei said she wanted her to show the emperor.

  Shen Yijia guessed it when she asked about Mo Yuan, and she answered honestly because she wanted to take this opportunity to see the situation of the Emperor Dog. It was a rare opportunity, so naturally she did not refuse.

   Although she couldn't refuse.

  The Empress Dowager Wei ordered people to carry the steps, and there were two lifts in total. The Queen Mother's special step was walking in front, and Shen Yijia and Mrs. Qiu were a few steps behind.

   The group went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

   It was the first time that Shen Yijia sat on this thing, so she couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but Mrs. Qiu thought she was worried and comforted: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother is different from other Shangguan family."

   After all, she has been on the battlefield, and the Queen Mother was also strong when she was young, but no matter how strong a woman enters this cannibalistic harem, the edges and corners will be smoothed out.

   But Mrs. Qiu knows that the original intention of the queen mother has never changed.

  Otherwise, he would not give up the glory and wealth in this palace, and resolutely ran to the austere place like the imperial mausoleum, and stayed there for nearly 20 years.

   "I'm not worried." Shen Yijia said seriously.

   Before entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he could see more than a dozen people kneeling at the door from a distance. When he got closer, he realized that Shangguan Yu and another baby-faced boy in purple were actually kneeling there.

  Shen Yijia remembered him. When she first entered the capital, she would argue with her about the book written by a romantic and talented person. Later, she saw it once on the emperor's birthday. Only then did she know that he was the emperor's third son, Prince Rui Shangguan Heng.

  Step stopped, Empress Dowager Wei glanced at everyone lightly and asked, "What's going on?"

   Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Heng were the first to react: "The grandson has seen the imperial grandmother."

  The ministers also hurriedly kowtowed and saluted: "I have seen the queen mother, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose."

  The Empress Dowager Wei frowned and said, "The emperor is resting inside, what do you mean by kneeling here one by one?"

  Shangguan Yu moved his stiff legs, and before he could speak, Shangguan Heng hurriedly said, "Grandmother, we are also worried about our father and want to see him, but they won't let us in."

   He cast a dissatisfied glance at the guards guarding the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

  The Queen Mother looked over.

   Commander Mo said with a stern face and cupped his hands: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, you will also obey His Majesty's orders. Besides, the Imperial Physician also warned that His Majesty needs to rest now."

  Shangguan Heng sneered: "Then why did the eldest brother go in? Are you obeying the father or the eldest brother?"

   He didn't know about it before, but the second brother told him last night that the royal father was imprisoned in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he would believe the nonsense of these people is stupid.

  Why did he bring his ministers to kneel here early in the morning today, didn't he just want to put pressure on the eldest brother?

  If he didn't want to take the charge of imprisoning the emperor, why should he let them in and take a look?

   "His Royal Highness Prince Rui, please be careful, the lowly ranks only obey His Majesty's will." Commander Mo said with a look of fear.

"What does this Wang Shen say, you know if you have any ghosts in your heart." Shangguan Heng only believed what Shangguan Yu said, how would he listen to him, and looked at Empress Wei with a hopeful expression: "Grandmother, you can Don't be fooled by him."

   That surname Song is also abominable, I knew this for a long time and didn't tell them...

  The Empress Dowager Wei was a little stunned. She never thought that there were such two fools in the royal family. She coughed lightly: "Then Aijia might go in?"

   Commander Mo pursed his lips: "Your Majesty didn't say that the Queen Mother would not be allowed in."

  The emperor is also recorded in the name of the queen mother, no one can see her, but she can't see her, otherwise it will be too obvious...

  Empress Dowager Wei nodded and looked at the ministers: "Aijia brings the doctors in to see the emperor, you should go back first..."

   "Grandmother, grandson will also come in with you." Shangguan Heng said hurriedly.

  The Empress Dowager Wei had a headache: "If you don't worry about your father, just wait outside, and the Aijia will come out and talk to you."

   She knew the truth that it was too much to go too far, these people still let her in, it showed that she had cared about it and didn't want to take the charge of treason.

   But once you cross this line, you will be in a hurry, and if you ignore it, it may bring about other troubles.

Shangguan Heng was a little reluctant, and wanted to fight again, but when he noticed that his sleeve was being pulled, he reluctantly said: "Well, grandmother, you must ask your father carefully, did he say anything? Don't see us people."

  The Empress Dowager Wei glanced at Shangguan Yu without a trace, and waved her hand: "Okay, it's cold, don't kneel here."

   Everyone got up.

  Shen Yijia gave Shangguan Heng a sympathetic look, no wonder she likes the book written by a romantic and talented person, it turns out that she has a bad mind.

   In the end, only the Queen Mother Wei, Shen Yijia and Mo Yuan entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Because Commander Mo said that too many people could not enter, Madam Qiu took them back to the Cining Palace.

   There was a strong medicinal smell in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Shen Yijia wrinkled her nose in discomfort.

   It was still Eunuch Li who was standing beside the bed.

   "The slave has seen the Queen Mother." Eunuch Li knelt down and gave a salute.

  The Queen Mother Wei glanced at him lightly, but did not let him get up.

   "Go and have a look." She said to Mo Yuan.

   Mo Yuan was blessed, and walked to the dragon's bed in a few steps. She didn't want her hand to catch the emperor's pulse, and the emperor opened her eyes...

   is not completely open, because he has one eye closed, not only that, but even his mouth is crooked.

   Shen Yijia was surprised.

   "Emperor." Empress Dowager Wei stepped forward and called.

   The emperor didn't wake up when she came yesterday.

  The emperor moved the intact eyeball with difficulty, and it took a long time to finally see the person in front of him, and a flash of light instantly burst out in his eyes.

   He opened his mouth, and water came out from a long serial port...

  Shen Yijia disliked her head.

   Seeing the dog emperor being tortured like this, she was relieved.

After a long time, Mo Yuan withdrew her hand and retreated behind Shen Yijia.

  Empress Dowager Wei called out a few more words, but the emperor failed to respond. As long as he opened his mouth, saliva flowed out, and tears flowed.

"Oh, Your Majesty, why are you crying again?" Eunuch Li didn't care whether he was polite or not, he took a few steps on his knees and took out a handkerchief to wipe his saliva and tears: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the imperial doctor is saying It will definitely heal you."

  Empress Dowager Wei frowned: "Eunuch Li, what happened to the emperor?"

"His Majesty hit his head when he was injured and fell down." Eunuch Li wiped his tears: "At first, the imperial physician did not find out, thinking that His Majesty only suffered a knife wound, but when he found out, His Majesty was already like this, and it was still vague at first. It's getting more serious these days."

  The Queen Mother Wei looked at Mo Yuan.

   Mo Yuan paused and said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty is suffering from a stroke and needs to be taken care of."

   After thinking about it, she added: "Don't be stimulated by any more."

   "Yeah, that's what the imperial physician said." Eunuch Li was secretly relieved by the effort of wiping the emperor with his back to the person.

   "So you faked the imperial decree and asked Commander Mo to stay outside?" Empress Dowager Wei asked suspiciously.

   Eunuch Li kowtowed again and again in fear: "How dare a servant, this is what Your Majesty ordered from the beginning."

   The situation is so serious, and the emperor is a person who values ​​power more than anything else. His first reaction is to conceal his illness. It seems normal.

The    emperor is still very excited, as can be seen from his drool and tears.

  The Empress Dowager Wei sighed, reached out and took the handkerchief aside and wiped it for him personally: "Since the imperial physician has warned you, then you can take a good rest. King Jing is here for the affairs of the court, you don't have to worry..."

  The emperor's saliva and tears flowed even more fiercely.

  Shen Yijia: If it wasn't for the fact that the Queen Mother had just returned to Beijing and didn't know the inside story, she would have suspected that she was deliberately provoking the emperor.

   "Emperor, rest well, Aijia will come to see you next time." Empress Dowager Wei lowered her eyes and handed the handkerchief to Eunuch Li: "Take good care of the emperor."

   "Minions dare not neglect."

  The emperor was in a panic, but the Queen Mother Wei had turned around and didn't realize it. He could only try to turn his eyes, otherwise he would meet Shen Yijia, and then he stared at Shen Yijia.

   Shen Yijia felt that it would be impolite not to give a response, so she said two words silently.

   Deserved!

  The emperor didn't come up in one breath and fainted!

   Before leaving, Shen Yijia glanced at a place without a trace, and the corner of her lips hooked.

  —

   Yesterday's big change, remember to go back and look at it again!
