Chapter 395: Take revenge on the spot if you have any grudges
royal palace,
"really?"
Across the pearl curtain, the eunuch who had just left the Huguo Temple said with a flattering look on his face, "This old servant never speaks a word of falsehood!"
"The young lady from the Zhenguo Palace looked as pale as paper, as if she was about to die!"
He knelt on the hard blue bricks, and said gloatingly, "This little girl must be having trouble adapting to the climate in Kyoto..."
"There are only monks in the Huguo Temple, and it's far from the city. There are no decent doctors there."
"You said she would..."
The eunuch raised his head, his eyes full of malice.
He knew that the Queen Mother had never liked the man from the North and wished he would die sooner, so she spoke so viciously, but she just wanted to save face in front of the Queen Mother.
These days, the Empress Dowager has recruited an unknown little eunuch to serve her. The constant rewards and money given to him by others have made them jealous!
"Humph…"
Behind the pearl curtain, there was a figure sitting upright, and one could probably make out the crown on his head.
The eunuch just took a look and immediately knelt down again.
He swallowed, his eyes flickering with fear...
Did you say something wrong?
"Whether he is dead or alive, we have to wait until the imperial physician examines him first to tell."
The Queen Mother's voice came from the inner hall, "Come here, pass on my order, and ask the director of the Imperial Hospital to go to the Huguo Temple."
"Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately received the order and left the inner hall.
The old eunuch quietly tilted his head and looked up, and it was the young eunuch he was jealous of!
It was clearly him who came to report the news, so why was he given such a task?
"Why, do you have anything else to say?"
In the inner hall, the Queen Mother's voice was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.
"Don't dare!"
He got up trembling, but in such panic he didn't even dare to fall.
If you behave disrespectfully in front of the Queen Mother, you will be drowned in the lake!
The palace door opened and closed again, and the figure in the dark palace stood up from the couch...
Two maids supported her at her side, and a maid walked in front to help the empress dowager open the pearl curtain that was covering her.
"Queen Mother, if that little girl..."
The nanny beside her looked worried.
She is a close confidant of the Queen Mother, so she naturally knows how important that little girl from the North is to the Queen Mother!
"Life and death are determined by fate."
The Queen Mother sat in front of the dressing table, her armored hand slowly raised to a slightly crooked phoenix hairpin in her hair.
"I have already sent the director of the Imperial Hospital."
"If she is really sick, the warden is a skilled doctor and will cure her. If even he is helpless, then it can only be said that this girl is unlucky. But if she is faking illness..."
The nanny has been with the Queen Mother since she was a child, and she understands the hidden meaning behind her every move.
She quickly adjusted the empress dowager's hairpin, smoothed a few frizzy strands of hair, and hid the white hair deep inside.
While doing things, the nanny said: "I understand that as a descendant of the royal family, if you lie and behave improperly, you will ruin the reputation of the royal family in the future. The queen mother has the right to take charge of the country on behalf of the king!"
Yes, Jiang An has to come to the palace even if he doesn’t want to!
A maid knelt at the Queen Mother's feet and held up the bronze mirror for her.
The Queen Mother looked up at the bronze mirror...
I saw the person in the mirror wearing a dark crimson phoenix robe and a dazzling phoenix crown on her head.
Unlike the stunning concubine, the queen mother has a submissive look, even a little inferior...
But if you look closely, you will feel inexplicably close to her, unlike the sharp edge of the concubine.
However, the palace dress she wore, which symbolized her status, gave people a sense of distance, constantly reminding everyone that she was the Queen Mother, the mother of the current emperor!
The old eunuch received the order and rushed from the palace to the Huguo Temple and then back to the harem, which took more than half a day.
When he came to report and ask for reward, the Queen Mother had already had dinner.
But even at this late hour, our empress dowager was already wearing complicated palace clothes and a heavy phoenix crown on her head, and she would not even allow a phoenix hairpin to be crooked.
To her, the phoenix crown and phoenix robe were the spoils of her victory and the symbol of the power in her hands...
The Queen Mother repeatedly looked at herself in the mirror before ordering, "Tear it down."
"Yes…"
The maids surrounding her seemed to be familiar with her behavior and moved swiftly.
midnight,
The little girl was just making a fire with her friends in her courtyard and stealing beggar's chicken when she was told that someone had come from the palace again, and this time they had even brought a doctor from the Imperial Hospital!
Jiang An paused while tearing the chicken leg, stared at Zheng Lu with his big round eyes, and then...
Then he took another bite in silence.
Even at this tense moment, she was still chewing.
In the silent courtyard, the sound of swallowing was infinitely amplified...
Zheng Lu, who was still waiting for the lady's instructions, had his mouth twitching. I really am...!
He looked around and saw that only Nianniang, Zhengyan and Miss were sitting in the courtyard.
As for Miss, Zhenglu didn't even think about it, how could Miss be wrong!
As for Niang Niang, just ignore her because you can't beat her and you can't afford to offend her.
and so…
He looked at his brother who was gnawing on a chicken wing.
A young guard who was also chewing felt a chill on the back of his head and subconsciously shrank his neck.
The next moment, a gust of cold wind really blew over my head.
No need to think, it's his brother's big pussy~
"Wow ah ah!"
Zhengyan stood up quickly, not even taking the chicken wings anymore, and climbed up the wall of the yard with quick and decisive movements.
He sat on the top of the wall, pointed at his brother, and said angrily, "Why did you hit me?"
"Jiang Si brought the chicken to the young lady, you dug the pit, and Niang Niang lit the fire. What did I do?"
Zhenglu clenched his fists until their joints cracked. "Do I need to ask why I hit you?!"
Zhengyan: ...
Please be a human being!
The little guard quickly jumped down the wall and disappeared.
Zhengyan: "I! Want! To! Leave! Home!!"
The little girl who watched the whole process threw away the chicken leg which was only left with the bones, and sneaked into the house pinching the hem of her skirt with one hand.
"Miss…"
When Zhenglu looked back, there was no one in the courtyard.
All that was left was the dug hole and the chicken bones.
Even the white tiger lying under the tree looked up at him and then turned away silently, holding the chicken it was reluctant to finish.
Baihu: I scolded him, but you can’t scold me~
Looking at the tiger's butt, what else can Zhenglu do?
He could only ask people to clean up the messy yard, and brought a lot of dry mugwort from the temple's kitchen to burn in the yard to cover up the smell of the beggar's chicken.
After everything was packed up, he went to the temple gate to greet people.
"Oh, the people in the Zhenguo Palace are so arrogant, we really have to wait for them!"
"We are here on the orders of the Queen Mother to bring the imperial physician to visit the young lady!"
As soon as the door opened, the little eunuch couldn't hold back his words.
Zhenglu's eyes darkened and he muttered in his heart: I will kill you sooner or later!
"Even if my father-in-law comes to our house in the middle of the night, he should give us some time to prepare..."
"It's fine for us rough guys, but if you disturb your young lady, you won't be able to explain yourself to the Queen Mother!"
The law will never tolerate such a eunuch.
Just like the young lady, he would take revenge on the spot!
When the eunuch spoke based on the Queen Mother's order, he threatened her in the same name.
The young eunuch was choked by Zhenglu's words for a moment, and could only flick his whisk with a sullen face, "Lead the way!"
Zheng Lu raised his eyebrows, and a look of disdain flashed across his cold face.
He turned sideways and said quietly, "I see that you don't look well, sir. How about we let the imperial physician take your pulse first?"
"You can't bear the fact that your father-in-law is sick, especially men, be careful of kidney deficiency..."
