Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 372 Youth Enters Beijing (2 More)
Two quarters of an hour later, Wang Yuanshou followed Eunuch Jiang to Shou'an Palace, and first greeted Emperor Guangxi.

Emperor Guangxi looked anxious, so he didn't need to be too polite, and quickly checked the empress dowager's pulse.

The curtain had been lowered by the court lady, only a skinny wrist was exposed, the head of the court put a thin handkerchief on the empress dowager's wrist, and then stretched out his hand to start the diagnosis.

Not long after, he withdrew his hand and took the handkerchief back along the way.

Afraid of disturbing the Queen Mother's rest, Wang Yuanshou bowed to Emperor Guangxi and said: "I would like to ask the emperor to speak for a while."

Emperor Guangxi walked to the outer hall with his hands behind his back.

The head of the court said truthfully: "Back to the emperor, the empress dowager's heart is weak and exhausted, which is a sign that the end is approaching, and there is no cure for medicine and stone."

Even though he had already guessed in his heart, Emperor Guangxi's eyebrows twitched when he heard the words from the head of the court himself, "The Queen Mother was fine a few days ago, why did it suddenly become like this?"

Just by feeling the pulse, the head of the court could not see the reason, "Why don't the emperor send the servants of Shou'an Palace to ask whether the empress dowager has been stimulated these days, or what happened to her?"

After Wang Yuanshou left, Emperor Guangxi handed over the matter to Eunuch Cui, and asked him to arrest all the servants of Shou'an Palace and interrogate them one by one.

Eunuch Cui asked for more than half an hour, and came back to reply, "Your Majesty, the people in the Shou'an Palace basically agreed. A few days ago, Lord Lu came to the palace to meet the Queen Mother alone. During the period of more than half an hour, all the servants They were all dismissed, and no one knows what the Empress Dowager and Lu Laohou said."

"Lu Feng!"

Emperor Guangxi was extremely angry, he gritted his teeth and called out the name of Old Lord Lu, his face was ugly, "Announce him to see me!"

Eunuch Cui saw that the master was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he left the palace quickly and went to Lu's house in person.

Already got four paintings, Mr. Lu locked himself in his study, and was immersing himself in the study of the weapons map hidden in the paintings, when suddenly he heard a servant say that Eunuch Cui came to deliver the emperor's oral order.

Old Master Lu was startled, carefully hid the four paintings, opened the door and walked out.

Eunuch Cui was standing outside the front hall, and when he saw Old Master Lu coming, he was very anxious, "Old Lord, hurry up and go with the servant!"

Old Master Lu was puzzled, "Why did the emperor summon me suddenly?"

How dare Eunuch Cui say that the emperor is furious, "The slave is just spreading the word, and you have to go there yourself to find out what's going on."

Old Master Lu didn't make things difficult for him any more, and quickly went out of the gate, got into the carriage in the palace, and went straight to the imperial city.

Emperor Guangxi sat in Qianqing Palace, his face was as dark as a dark cloud cover.

When Master Lu came in, he saw that the emperor was not in the right mood, so he knelt down and greeted him first.

Emperor Guangxi didn't let him get up, "I heard that Lord Hou went to see the Queen Mother two days ago?"

As soon as Master Lu heard it, he knew that the Empress Dowager did not tell Emperor Guangxi the prophecy of the alchemists in the late emperor's time. He nodded, "The old minister indeed asked to see the Empress Dowager for a painting."

"What painting?"

"Mr. Liu's calligraphy."

When Song Wei asked for it last time, Emperor Guangxi still thought this painting was a treasure. Now that even Lord Lu coveted it, Emperor Guangxi felt that this painting was a disaster, and wished he could burn it with his own hands.

"So, you took the painting?"

"Exactly."

Emperor Guangxi thought of the Queen Mother who was dying on the sick bed, and his temples twitched non-stop, "What did you say to my mother?"

Hearing this, Lord Lu had a bad feeling in his heart, "Why does the emperor ask such a question?"

Emperor Guangxi gritted his teeth angrily, "Because you took away the painting, the Empress Dowager has been ill for a few days. The imperial doctor went to see her and said that her time is approaching."

Before the words were finished, there was already a turbulent wave in Lu Laohou's eyes.

He only knew that she had hated him all these years, but he didn't expect that hatred had become all the strength to support her. Now that the truth is revealed, and the resentment has been crushed, she also seemed to have been drained of blood, and she was going to exhaustion all of a sudden. .

This bad news came unexpectedly.

Old Master Lu closed his eyes and sighed softly, "The old minister is guilty."

"You are guilty." Emperor Guangxi's eyes wished he could poke a few holes in his body, "Once anything goes wrong with the Empress Dowager, I will never spare your Lu clan lightly!"

Now that the matter has come to an end, Old Hou Ye Lu is irrefutable, his hands fell to the ground, and his forehead was knocked down, "The old minister is at the mercy of the emperor."

Master Lu did not go to Shou'an Palace to see the Queen Mother.

One, in order to avoid suspicion.

Second, he knew the empress dowager, and the knot between them had been resolved. Even if the empress dowager's time was approaching, she would definitely have no resentment in her heart, and his appearance could not change anything.

Besides, the Empress Dowager would not want him to appear.

Standing at the gate of the imperial city, Lord Lu turned his head and stared at the majestic vermilion palace wall for a long time before turning around and gradually disappearing outside the city gate.

Ningzhou.

Fanghua was feeding her son. When she saw the letter, her hand shook, and the small bowl containing rice cereal fell to the ground.

The two-year-old Lu Yanli was frightened, shrunk his neck, and looked timidly at his mother with dark eyes.

Fanghua came back to her senses, asked the servant girl to come in and clean up the floor, then reached out to touch Lu Yanli's little head, "It's okay, mother will serve you another bowl later, okay?"

The little guy sat on an armchair with his short legs drooping, and nodded obediently when he heard Fanghua's words.

The son's reaction soothed Fanghua's troubled heart. She squeezed Lu Yanli's little hand, then put the letter back in the envelope, got up and went to the kitchen to refill a small bowl of porridge to continue feeding.

Lu Yanli has a meek personality, from being able to sit and crawl to walking and even talking, as long as his parents didn't let him do it, he would never take the initiative to touch it. Bao is the exact opposite.

Lu Xingzhou went up the mountain to gather herbs.

With nothing else to do, he studied some medicine with Ye Zong, and planned to formally study medicine so that he could give free consultations to nearby neighbors in the future.

I had a good harvest today, and I picked a few uncommon herbs.

When he came back with a bamboo basket in the evening, he saw Fanghua frowning when he entered the door. He washed his hands, sat down beside her, and said in a gentle voice, "Ayin, what's wrong?"

Fanghua raised her eyes to look at the man, "A letter from the capital said that the Queen Mother is not well, brother asked me to go back."

When she said this, the strength in holding her son tightened, and there was a bit of panic in her moist eye sockets.

"For a long time, in my impression, the queen mother is unstoppable. It seems that as long as she wants to, nothing can't be done." Fanghua's low voice continued, "She can forcibly separate the two of us because of the grievances of the previous generation. , and can easily tie me to your sedan chair in order to centralize power. I know better than anyone else how many things she has done behind the scenes to let my brother sit firmly on the throne.

To put it bluntly, if the rules left by her ancestors did not allow it, she would dare to proclaim herself emperor.

However, such a shrewd and strong woman, how can she fall down when she falls down? "

Seeing that Fanghua was not in a good state of mind, Lu Xingzhou took Yan Li from her arms and ordered the maid to pack up and prepare to go to Beijing. Then he turned his attention back to Fa's wife, "Everyone in this world has their own different jobs. Whether they are conscientious, or mediocre, or powerful, or ordinary, but in the end, they will all be unable to escape or choose to die.

Leaving aside the noble status of the mother, Ah Yin's mother is just one of thousands of people in this world. She will get sick, get old, and die. All you can do is bear it. "

Hearing these words, Fanghua couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

……

No matter how diligent the maidservant was, it was already evening when she packed up her things.

The son was still young, and Lu Xingzhou didn't agree with traveling at night, so the couple agreed to leave early the next morning.

The little guy ate half a bowl of rice, and fell asleep in his father's arms. When he woke up, he found that he was already in the carriage to Beijing.

He stretched out his hands and rubbed his eyes, and saw clearly that his parents were there, sitting obediently, and soon attracted by the sound of birdsong outside, he leaned over and pulled the curtains to look out.

Afraid that he would accidentally climb out and fall, Lu Xingzhou stretched out his hand to block it.

After admiring the scene of a cup of tea, the little guy shrank back, looked at Fanghua, and said in a childish voice, "Mother, where are you going~"

Fanghua, who was in a trance, heard the voice, cast her gentle gaze over, and smiled at his son, "Go see Li'er's grandmother."

grandmother?
This name is very strange, the little guy thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it meant, so he simply gave up, took the paper windmill handed by his father, stretched his little arm out of the window again, saw the windmill spinning fast, his little The face is full of joy.

……

Fearing that the queen mother would not be able to support her return to Beijing, Fanghua made up her mind to make her two-year-old son suffer a little crime, and ordered the coachman to travel day and night, shortening the time by at least half.

On the day of entering Beijing, Emperor Guangxi specially arranged for Eunuch Cui to greet him.

Fanghua was not in the mood to carefully observe the changes in the capital in the past two years. She opened the curtain and looked outside. Seeing that no white silk had been hung around, she knew that the queen mother was still holding her breath. palace."
