Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 72 Untitled Chapters

Lian Qiao smiled slyly, "If the Empress Dowager really wants to reward her, why not let Officer Cui take a few more days off in a few days, I think her eyes are getting darker and darker recently, I'm afraid she's too tired and hasn't had a good rest recently."

Sheng Shaoqing twisted the back of Lianqiao's waist, "You little girl, you are turning a corner and saying that I oppressed you!"

Lian Qiao kept shouting that she dared not dare, but she ran away without a trace under her feet.

Looking at the gradually dimming sky through the window lattice, Sheng Shaoqing felt strange in his heart. At this time in the past, Yuan Che should have already run into the palace, why there is no movement at all.

"A Ning!"

Aning responded outside the door, "What is the queen mother's order?"

"Go to the door and see, why hasn't His Majesty arrived yet?"

Ah Ning let out a cry, put down the work at hand, got up and walked out of the hall, just as he walked out the door, he met Zhang Qing at the corner, the road in front of him was narrow, Ah Ning had no choice but to bow Get out of the way.

As soon as Zhang Qing saw Aning, he smiled and said to Aning, "Miss Aning is going out?"

Ah Ning recalled the advice of Mistress Cui to keep a distance from Zhang Qing, and only answered "yes" without stopping in her footsteps.

Zhang Qing's voice sounded from behind, "Miss Aning, the sky is dark and the road is wet and slippery, it's safer to walk with a lantern."

Ah Ning was wondering what Superintendent Zhang meant by this, but Zhang Qing had already handed over the lantern in his hand.

"Here, use it."

"How good is this..." Aning was about to refuse, but Zhang Qing turned the handle of the lantern into Aning's hand, turned around and walked into the hall.

Aning was anxious, he had something to do, Lian Qiao disappeared, and Ms. Cui was not there, and she didn't know what Zhang Qing was going to do.

Seeing that Zhang Qing disappeared at the end of the corridor, Ah Ning gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, went out, found a trustworthy little female history, whispered a few words in her ear, gave her the lantern, and turned back by himself. nave.

Sheng Shaoqing was thinking about how to come up with a test to test the abilities of these ancient children, but when he saw the felt curtain move slightly, he thought it was Yuan Che playing with her again, and said with a smile, "The queen mother has seen you, why don't you?" Come in?"

But the felt curtain paused, and it was a wrinkled little old man who got in.

"Zhang Qing?"

Zhang Qing was overjoyed, "Queen Mother, you still remember Wei Chen."

Sheng Shaoqing slandered, can I forget this?
After Zhang Qing finished speaking, he lowered his head aggrievedly, "I thought that the Queen Mother had already forgotten me."

"I have something to say, what are you doing here?"

As soon as Sheng Shaoqing saw him, he remembered the broken box of night pearls that Wei Zhen sent last time, and his tone became less gentle.

Zhang Qing seemed to be ignorant of these changes, and continued, "This time, I'm here to present good things to the Queen Mother!"

"Oh? It won't be Ye Mingzhu again, right?"

When Zhang Qing was ridiculed like this, his face instantly flushed red, "No, no, Queen Mother, this time it's really a good thing."

As he said that, Zhang Qing took out a pocket box from his sleeve, with a phoenix pattern cut out on it, and three rubies inlaid on the top. The box alone looks expensive, and there is no treasure inside. .

"Queen Dowager, I know that I was negligent last time, and I missed it. No, in order to make up for my mistakes, what I found this time is guaranteed to be satisfactory to the Queen Mother!"

Sheng Shaoqing said calmly, "Bring it to me to have a look."

She wanted to see what new tricks Zhang Qing could come up with.

Since seeing Zhang Qing's wild inner activities last time, it has been difficult for her to look directly at this little old man who has been trying to curry favor with her.

Zhang Qing opened the box carefully, there was no trace of the golden and rare treasure that Sheng Shaoqing had created in his brain, but there was only a pile of colored powder inside.

"This is?"

Zhang Qing said mysteriously, "This is Immortal Food Powder."

Sheng Shaoqing: ...

"Who asked you to honor me with this?"

Zhang Qing hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Where is it? This is what I have gone through untold hardships to find the prescription and find the fairy teacher to deserve it. You don't know, the whereabouts of the fairy teacher are uncertain, only those who sincerely seek the medicine It is a predestined person, and this humble minister can see the fairy beauty and ask for this fairy medicine."

All the emperors and generals have always wanted to seek longevity, even if they couldn't live forever, they still wanted to prolong their lives so that they could enjoy the wealth.

The empress dowager is young and widowed, so she should pay more attention to maintenance. Zhang Qing said sincerely, "You have to take care of your daily life, you should pay more attention to the maintenance of your body. The immortal master said that taking this immortal food powder once a day will give you the feeling of ascending to the heights. If you take it for a long time, you will be able to strengthen your body, and if you supplement it with practice, it is possible to live forever!"

The more Sheng Shaoqing heard it, the more it sounded like a pyramid scheme. If this crap really had this function, how could the first emperor become the first emperor?

However, Sheng Shaoqing followed Zhang Qing's expectant eyes and asked, "Then, what kind of practice is this practice?"

Zhang Qing scratched his head, "According to the Immortal Master's intention, get up in the morning and meditate for an hour, then take Immortal Food Powder on an empty stomach, and then exercise your energy to adjust your breath and chant scriptures quietly. These are roughly the rest. If the Queen Mother is interested, Weichen will go to the immortal master and ask them one by one!"

Aning listened anxiously outside the door, but she didn't dare to rush in. When she was holding her breath and listening to what Zhang Qing said, she was shocked when someone patted her from behind.

"what!"

As soon as Ah Ning said "ah", Cui Yun covered her mouth, "Don't make any noise!"

When Ah Ning heard Cui Yun's familiar voice, he stopped struggling. Seeing that Ah Ning was relieved, Cui Yun also let go.

"Ms. Cui! When did you come back?!" Ah Ning asked in a low voice.

"I'll come back whenever you're here to eavesdrop."

Cui Yun had just entered the Palace of Eternal Light, and was about to return to the palace, but saw Aning outside the window putting his ear to the wall to eavesdrop.

Just about to reprimand the servant girl for being more rude, but was attracted by the voice inside, and followed Aning to eavesdrop on the corner of the wall.

Aning said angrily, "I just said why Zhang Dajian gave me the lantern so kindly. It turned out that we were not here, so he could go in and flatter me!"

"Miss Cui, go in and take care of him!"

Cui Yun's expression was indifferent, "It's okay, let him offer it."

Aning was puzzled and said, "Huh? Ms. Cui, didn't you hate him to confuse the queen mother?"

Cui Yun whispered in Aning's ear, "Don't be afraid, the Empress Dowager has already become suspicious of Zhang Qing, he won't make any big waves."

Only then did Ah Ning feel relieved, "Miss Cui, since the Queen Mother is suspicious, why didn't you change the Supervisor Zhang?"

Cui Yun thought for a while, "I don't know about this, but the queen mother has her reasons for doing this."

In Cui Yun's eyes, Sheng Shaoqing, who was bewitched by Zhang Qing, gradually became interested in this ancient elixir.

Zhang Qing speculated on the Empress Dowager's expression, and brewed a cup of tea for the Empress Dowager, "How about a taste, the Empress Dowager?"

Sheng Shaoqing thought, why don't you really try it?

Angel Sheng Shaoqing: No way!What if it becomes addictive?

Devil Sheng Shaoqing: It won't hurt if you taste it, at worst, you just quit later.

When Sheng Shaoqing was struggling, Zhang Qing had already handed the tea to Sheng Shaoqing.

The system Shi Shiran said, [Host, have you started to drift after you got some grades recently? 】

"Impossible, not me, I didn't."

After Sheng Shaoqing denied San Lian, the system continued, [This so-called Xianshi powder is composed of: cinnabar, realgar, alum, Zeng Qing, and Cishi, and its original name is not Xianshi powder, but five stones scattered. 】

Sheng Shaoqing: ………………

She is very familiar with this five stone powder. This prescription was originally used to treat wind and cold. After being improved by many people, it has the effect of strengthening yang. It is very transparent, and even has a feeling of ecstasy.

Therefore, in order to pursue the unrestrained and unrestrained posture of becoming an immortal, many people seek out illnesses when they are not ill, and follow the trend of taking drugs.

At the beginning, she summed up the trendy behavior of the ancients as one who was full.

Seeing the small box that Zhang Qing continued to hand over, Sheng Shaoqing's face turned dark.

Sending fake products, she can bear it.

She can't stand the real poison.

Sheng Shaoqing blocked the immortal food powder that Zhang Qing handed over with his hand, Zhang Qing was blocked by this, and staggered a few steps, all the powder in the small box was scattered on the ground.

Zhang Qing was dumbfounded again, why would he drop every time he delivered something?

The last time it was the unlucky ghost Cui Yun who was present, this time he watched her go out. Aning Lianqiao was not with the Queen Mother, and the rest of the people would not report to Cui Yun, so he just entered the door. !
"Zhang Qing, tell Aijia, what are your things?!"

Zhang Qing knelt down with a "boom", "The Empress Dowager Mingjian, this is just a celestial medicine tribute from the immortal master, it is for the empress dowager's body!"

"Come on!"

The two eavesdroppers outside the door immediately stood up and walked in when they saw the Queen Mother summoning them.

Only Ah Ning squatted the longest, his legs were numb and numb, and he still resisted the numbness and followed Cui Yun's footsteps.

"What's the Queen Mother's order?"

When Zhang Qing saw that Cui Yun and A Ning were both there, his heart suddenly became cold, and it was over.

"You go and invite the imperial doctor to see what these things are?"

"Yes."

Aning took the order and went away, while Cui Yun walked up to Sheng Shaoqing, and together with Sheng Shaoqing, they looked down at Zhang Qing who was kneeling beside him, and said, "Dajian Zhang doesn't focus on business every day, but puts all his attention on pleasing the Queen Mother."

Zhang Qing retorted, "To please the Queen Mother is to serve the Queen Mother better. As the eunuch in charge of the Palace of Eternal Light, it is my duty to serve the Queen Mother. What is the contradiction between these two things?!"

Cui Yun said coldly, "You have crossed the line."

"Secretly spy on the whereabouts of the Empress Dowager, and have close contacts with the outside of the palace. What do you say all these things have anything to do with serving the Empress Dowager?"

Zhang Qing opened his mouth, "You! You framed me!!!"

"I wronged you? Which thing I just said wronged you! Do you need me to take out the gold ingots in your room before you admit it? It turns out that the queen mother and I planned to settle accounts with you after a year, but I didn't expect You sent it to your door yourself first."

Zhang Qing faltered and retorted, "Where is there...how can there be any gold ingots? Then...that is what I have accumulated in the palace for many years, and they are all rewarded to me by the nobles who have served me before!"

Cui Yun sneered and said, "Director Zhang, there should be a limit to lying. How can there be gold ingots in cash for the rewards of the nobles? How can there be flying money from temple treasuries in various places?"

Zhang Qing dodged his expression, not daring to look directly into Cui Yun's eyes, and the imperial physician that Ah Ning had found also followed Ah Ning in step by step.

"Queen Mother, Imperial Physician Li has brought it here."

Sheng Shaoqing gave Aning a look with his eyes, and Aning gave the imperial physician another wink, and the imperial physician received the signal instantly, and went straight to the pile of powder on the ground.

"The empress dowager, the humble minister observes its appearance and smells its taste. It seems to be the common five-stone powder in the previous dynasty, but with some powdered medicinal herbs added. I don't know where the empress dowager got it?"

Sheng Shaoqing glanced at Zhang Qing who was at the side, and Imperial Physician Li had already understood, "This medicine is very helpful for men, and if women take it, it can also make their faces radiant and rosy, but after taking it, they need to take more walks and wear thin skirts." , You can only eat cold food, but you must drink hot wine, and the wine must be full-bodied, otherwise it will not be able to digest the medicinal properties."

"However, what else has been added specifically, I still need to take it back to the Tai Hospital for careful examination."

Sheng Shaoqing nodded in agreement, Doctor Li took out a stack of square pieces of paper from the sleeve, carefully scraped off the powder on the ground, folded it into a neat diamond shape, put it back in the sleeve, got up and left.

After Imperial Doctor Li left, Zhang Qing shouted for injustice, "Queen Mother! I am wronged! You see, Imperial Doctor Li also said that this is really a good thing. It can beautify your skin. This official is really for the health of your queen mother." Think about it!"

Sheng Shaoqing snorted coldly, "For my own good? This thing is very addictive, did you know that?"

Zhang Qing's eyes flickered suddenly when he heard this, apparently he didn't expect Sheng Shaoqing to know that this thing would be addictive, swallowed his saliva, shook his head, and bit himself to death that he didn't know about it.

Sheng Shaoqing didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, anyway, Zhang Qing would not be afraid of itching if there were too many lice, this was just a trivial matter.

"Then you can explain the gold ingots and flying money in your room. After receiving benefits from others, you have to do things for others. Then what have you done for outsiders in the Eternal Light Palace of Aijia? "

Zhang Qing cried and said, "I've been in this palace for decades, isn't it possible that I'm not allowed to have some private money? During the festivals, I'm godsons pay filial piety to me, and it's not easy for me to accept it. Hey, the loyalty of the humble minister to the queen mother can be learned from the sun and the moon! How could it be possible to collude with outsiders to deceive the queen mother?!"

Cui Yun saw that Zhang Qing was still heartbroken until he arrived at the Yellow River, and he would not shed tears when he saw the coffin, and continued, "The godsons of Supervisor Zhang, but Eunuch Jia, Eunuch Liu, and Eunuch Jiao..."

As Cui Yun reported a series of names, Zhang Qing's face became more and more green, and his heart felt cold, just like the wind howling outside the temple today, passing through layers of carefully woven camouflage, The deep chill penetrates from the skin to the bone marrow.

All the strength in his whole body seemed to be drained, he lost the energy to kneel, and lost the breath to talk back. He was limp on the ground, his chest suddenly hurt, and he gasped for air.

Cui Yun looked at Zhang Qing disdainfully, this rat knew that he was helpless, so he pretended to be weak, did he think that he could win the Empress Dowager's sympathy?

Seeing this situation, Sheng Shaoqing immediately felt that something was wrong. This must be a sudden myocardial infarction? !
