The wind and snow in the capital fell from daytime to late at night, and the temperature dropped sharply, causing water to freeze everywhere outdoors. Only the pavilion flower garden in the hot spring palace in the north of the city was still shrouded in warm mist, as warm as spring.

The Queen Mother suffered from a headache, and she has been recovering here for a long time.

But after knowing the recent events and the recent situation of the Wang family, he became anxious and couldn't afford to get sick.The accompanying imperial doctor tried everything they could, but they just allowed the Queen Mother to sleep peacefully for an hour.

At this time, once the effect of the medicine wore off, when the Queen Mother was completely sleepy, she felt even more headache.

Seeing that Eunuch Ning came over with another bowl of sedative medicine made by the imperial doctor, he could only wave his hands helplessly, and said, "This medicine is too much for Ai's family to eat, and it doesn't seem to be effective. You can ask them, what else is there?" Is there no other way?"

"Go back to your mother, the old slave asked, and they also replied."

Eunuch Ning handed the medicine bowl to someone else, and said:

"Your Majesty's headache is caused by the fact that you followed the late Emperor to Yanbei before you were out of the moon after the birth of the Holy Majesty. The weather was freezing and the cold air entered your body. In addition to decades of accumulation, if you only rely on taking medicine, it will be very effective. Wei. I heard that when the imperial doctor Lu Yungui was fighting the epidemic in the south of the city, in order to alleviate the coldness of the spleen and stomach of the patients after taking the medicine, he specially used moxa powder and moxa powder to make a moxa roll called Leihuoshenzhen needle. Supplemented by the method of suspended moxibustion, moxibustion on the meridian where the cold syndrome belongs, the effect is remarkable. Originally, Imperial Physician Lu also knew the empress's constitution best, if he could be called to treat the empress, it might be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

After saying this, the hall was as quiet as expected.

Eunuch Ning knew that Lu Yungui was now shouldering the important task of eradicating the epidemic, and the Empress Dowager Mercy would never call him back privately.

With a slight flick of her eyelashes, she changed the subject and said:
"However, Imperial Physician Lu is busy, and this old slave has sent people to the south of the city to ask Imperial Physician Lu for the Thunder Fire Needle and Suspended Moxibustion Atlas. It will be delivered in a few hours at most. After that time, the imperial physicians will study it. You can give the empress moxibustion."

The Empress Dowager was rubbed by Nanny Liu on the acupuncture points on her head, leaning on the couch with her phoenix eyes slightly closed.Only a few days after her birthday, many white hairs grew on her temples.

Seeing that the empress did not speak, and only let out a long breath as a tacit consent to his actions, Eunuch Ning stopped talking, took the medicine bowl and left the bedroom.

But before he could close the vermilion door, the queen who was waiting outside the door, who wanted to wait for the sick, immediately came up to her, and asked with tears in her eyes:
"Eunuch Ning, how is the empress mother? Have you taken the medicine? Is your head still hurting? When will I be able to go in to serve the empress?"

"Empress Empress." Seeing this, Eunuch Ning quickly closed the door, bowed and saluted before replying in a low voice, "Empress Dowager still has a headache, but she didn't take any medicine, and she didn't invite you to serve in the palace. It's windy and snowy outside, why don't you go first?" Go back and rest, and wait for the Queen Mother to give you any orders, the old slave will come again."

Unexpectedly, before Mr. Ning finished speaking, Queen Wang knelt down on the gold brick in front of the door with a "plop", crying bitterly:

"The concubine knows that the mother is still angry, but if she is angry, she should take the medicine first~"

"Just let your concubines enter the palace to serve you."

"Mother!~"

Queen Wang's cries came intermittently through the crack of the door, disturbing the Queen Mother.

"Concubine, concubine, it is true that the concubine was treated harshly by the crown prince's biological mother, and also, concubine Xie was instigated to go to the Yiying Pavilion to make a scene~~ Oh, but the concubine really didn't let the nobleman dispose of it at will. Not to mention privately giving or receiving from the army in the Shenji camp, mother queen."

"Mother Mingjian, the concubine is really wronged!~"

Hearing that Queen Wang only wanted to cry for grievances at this time, and recalling yesterday, when she saw the records of the palace people entering and leaving the palace gate sent by Liu Yuanhai, tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't stand up straight when she left the station. Its indisputable.

"Listen! Listen! She really hasn't progressed at all! What's the use of her just crying blindly when the matter is at this point and the evidence is in front of her?"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry." Mammy Liu quickly comforted the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother pointed to the door, and said bitterly to Mother Liu:

"The Ai family told her a long time ago! Be safe and guard yourself! Since the matter of Concubine Xie's dragon fetus is a foregone conclusion, as long as she doesn't provoke Fu Guiren, it will be fine when the emperor completely forgets about it and let her fend for herself. He doesn't need to care about Concubine Xie, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Yan. She is the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as she raises the crown prince well, and survives safely until the end, she will be the biggest winner."

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother patted the low couch heavily, and the red sandalwood rosary on her wrist swayed against the smooth wood grain:
"But she didn't listen! She wanted to be smart and pulled Concubine Xie Guifei in, and even sent someone to transport the body to the mass grave without permission. Now the world is turned upside down! The crown prince was brought up by Concubine Xie, and even Weiquan and his wife were almost deceived by King Yan and Lu San'er about finding the incense pill."

Regarding Wang Weiquan's murder of the dragon's fetus without telling her, the Queen Mother was already in a hurry: "This Wang Weiquan is really ambitious! Even the grandson of Ai's family dared to do it!"

But when she thought about the whole story of Wang Weiquan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and others fighting the epidemic in Jiangzhou, Shanxi two years ago, she was even more sweating.

With a long sigh, he fell into silence again.

Two years ago, my son had just secured his position, and when the rebellion against the King of Jin was suppressed, the British Duke He Peng had not yet handed over his military power, and there were disasters throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty.The national treasury is exhausted, and the flames are everywhere. A copper coin can't wait to be broken into eight petals to spend. How can there be silver grains to rescue a small Jiangzhou?

The emperor's benevolence allocated money to relieve the victims and treat the sick.

But in the end it's a drop in the bucket.

If it has been dragged down by the epidemic and the supplies of the various armies have been cut off, it is difficult to guarantee that the British Duke will not rebel.

Compared with the entire Great Zhou, let alone a small Jiangzhou, even if the entire Chief Secretary of Shanxi is abandoned, what's the problem?The emperor regards all the people in the world as destitute people, fearing that they will be punished by the heavens and can't bear to die, but she doesn't care about the punishments from the heavens or not.

She has to help guard the country that the late emperor brought down!

Even in a cruel way.

Looking at this time again, the reason for the outbreak of the epidemic is the same as that of two years ago, it was all caused by poisoning.

"The chief culprit is King Yu, the god-damned scourge! It's not even the slightest bit better than King Jin and the British public school, but he's so ignorant!"

The queen mother scolded the world, and after a short rest, she finally calmed down and interrogated the case she had been kept in the dark about: "Yesterday, Liu Yuanhai said that the epidemic was caused by a man named Fang Qiwen who sent the patient away. Used bowls into the palace?"

"Exactly." Nanny Liu replied softly.

"Is he also the one who killed Ronggui?"

"That's what the confession presented by the Ministry of Criminal Justice said."

Nanny Liu nodded, and reported Fang Qiwen's confession one by one:
"Fang Qiwen said that when he was changing the bowls used by Fu Guiren in the dining room, he happened to be bumped into by Mrs. Rong. She yelled at others and reported her family name. Fang Qiwen was afraid that she would be found out and wanted to avenge her brother, so he directly took the medicine. Dim sum was stuffed into her mouth, and she was poisoned to death. However, in his confession, he said that he hid the body in the warehouse of the dining room and then left the palace. Throw it down."

"And it just happened to hit Concubine Xie Guifei, it seems like."

"Like what?"

Nanny Liu paused before continuing: "It seems that Wang, Xie and Fu Gui are deliberately involved. Besides, how can Rong Gui go to the dining room at will during the confinement period? Unless someone deliberately opened the palace. door, and led the nobleman away, that person must be the most trusted person of the nobleman, perhaps a member of the Wang family."

"No." The Queen Mother immediately denied, "Although the Wang family knows how to abandon the car to protect the handsome, but the matter of Xiangwan was not revealed at that time."

"What if this person considers himself a royal family?"

Liu Nanny's eyes were firm: "Your Majesty, don't you understand? The Wang family sent a Xianggu, and let the nobleman wrongly wrong Princess Yan. This time, no matter who led her to the dining room, no matter whether it was Fang Qiwen who harmed her or not, it was an example. Without her, nobleman Rong would not be able to survive. Regardless of whether nobleman fu is seriously ill, no matter who orders nobleman fu to go to the mass grave, it will be the empress's doing. And in the end, Concubine Xie will benefit."

"If you say that, then it will work."

The Empress Dowager nodded knowingly. Thinking of today's court, Xie Bi asked the emperor to execute Noble Fu on the grounds that she lost her chastity when she went out of the palace, so she even more recognized Liu Nanny's words:

"This old man hasn't returned to the court for three years, and now when he comes back, he makes troubles in the front and rear palaces. Fortunately, he has the master and apprentice Duan Lin to contend with him."

Regarding the matter of the previous court, Liu Mama didn't dare to intervene, she just bowed her head and mourned: "It's a pity, Mr. Rong, that the age of a flower is gone. And the Queen, it's not enough to be counted and lose the crown prince. I lost my favor again. What should the Wang family do in the future?"

After listening to the Queen Mother, she didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, since these two don't live up to expectations, just add another newcomer."
