Royal palace, small Buddhist hall.
The Queen Mother was kneeling on the futon at this time. She had removed all her decorations and was only wearing pure clothes. Her hair was covered with silver threads spread out. She was holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and slowly twisting them. Her eyes were light. Looking at the person who was kneeling down to answer, he frowned slightly.
“What did you say!” The nun beside the Empress Dowager asked coldly: “Why is the Empress Dowager so hesitant in replying? Please tell me clearly!”
Kneel down and kneel down. The hidden guard in black still had wounds on his body, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth. At this time, he knocked his head on the ground: "The Empress Dowager, I don't dare to be absolutely sure. The person who hurt the minion, that person is really the same as the Imperial Master. They are very similar. I am afraid that I was poisoned during this trip and almost lost my life. The person who is best at using poison in Dajing is none other than the national master. Maybe this person is the national master."
"National Master." The Empress Dowager murmured softly, and the movements of twisting the beads in her hands were a little messy. After a while, she frowned and asked: "Besides this person, are there others in the yard? A suspicious person? Have you seen His Highness?”
The secret guard muttered: "There is something wrong in that house. Because of that man, the slave did not dare to approach. But in a quick glance, he seemed to have seen General Li. However, the thief we caught last time bit his tongue and committed suicide. But the servant found the mark of the Royal Secret Guard on that person. He should be from the Regent's Palace." He said, his face turned pale again: "I think your guess is correct, Six. Your Highness thinks he has been poisoned. The poison should come from the same place as the poison on the Emperor. There is no cure."
"Presumptuous!"
At this point, the Queen Mother suddenly became cold. He shouted: "How dare you curse His Highness the Sixth Prince like this? Who gave you the courage?"
With this scolding, the beads in the hands of the Empress Dowager broke off and scattered on the ground. .
"I don't dare." The secret guard's forehead fell with cold sweat, and he knocked his head to the ground.
"What on earth is he going to do with his surname Jing? He really wants to share a job with his regent!"
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly: "Check, check again. , If you want to see people alive, you want to see corpses if you die! If you bring a large group of people over, the Ai family still doesn't believe it. Could it be that this world belongs to Jing Wanning?"
"The Queen Mother, please take care of yourself? "My body is in trouble." Grandma stepped forward on her knees, held the Queen Mother's hand distressedly, and carefully tried to pull the thread of the beads out of the Queen Mother's hand bit by bit. The silk thread had already drawn blood from the Queen Mother's white fingers. It's just that the Empress Dowager didn't know what she was thinking, and she still didn't let go. She immediately advised again:
"The Empress Dowager should not be too worried. It is speculated that the strange poison in the Holy Emperor should have come from the hands of the Imperial Master. If the rumors are true, maybe the Imperial Master has a way to cure it. .
Furthermore, this matter may not be able to turn around. The regent spent a lot of manpower and financial resources searching for a national advisor. But if that person is really the Imperial Master, and he has been living in seclusion in the wilderness and still staying with our Sixth Highness, don’t you think this is very strange, Queen Mother? "
The Queen Mother looked sideways, still frowning and saying nothing.
Mammy carefully pulled the silk thread out of her hand, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and took it immediately He used a clean handkerchief to treat her wound, and while he was treating it, he continued to persuade her gently: "I can't say for sure what the Imperial Master's attitude is now, and he may not be of the same mind as the Regent. Furthermore, it is just as the Queen Mother said just now. I haven't seen His Highness Sixth Prince yet, so I don't know whether His Highness is safe or sound. The most important thing for you now is to protect your health, otherwise, wouldn’t it be just like the regent’s wishes? "
The Queen Mother sat on the futon again in a trance, letting her grandma apply the medicine to her, staring at the beads on the ground, her voice returned to its previous calmness: "This is not true. Makes no sense. Xiaoliu is suffering. It would be best if he were here. However, if something happens to him, it's time to prepare in advance. "
While speaking, he suddenly looked at Grandma: "Asu, how did you check on the child that Concubine Shu lived among the people back then? Aunt Su's pupils shrank: "Back to the Empress Dowager, there are some clues about this now." News came a few days ago that he seemed to be living in the wilderness. The people under my command have not dared to relax. It is believed that there will be good news soon. ”
The Empress Dowager let out a leisurely breath: "I don't know if he is a boy or a girl."
Aunt Su smiled and said: "The regent went through so many twists and turns, it should be a little one. Your Highness."
The Empress Dowager's eyes were faint, and she subconsciously rubbed a few broken beads in her hand: "Yes, it must be a man."
Mom Su looked slightly. Flash, there was a thud in my heart, but at the moment it was only accompanied by laughter.
I hope this child is a royal highness. If it is a princess, I am afraid it will not be a good life.
While he was talking, he suddenly heard a sound from outside. The next second, he saw Andehai with a pale face being helped into the house. As soon as he came in, he plopped down and knelt on the ground.
"The Empress Dowager, have you found His Highness the Sixth? Where are His Highnesses? Have you suffered these days?"
The Empress Dowager frowned, with a hint of sadness on her face. Tired: "You are still injured, why did you come out? This time, Xiaoliu was not found."
"How could it be? This servant was lost in the woods with His Highness He Liu. Your Highness is smart, The forest is not far from the village, so I guess I can find a place to ask for help."
After saying that, he grasped the collar of the secret guard beside him in a trance: "Have you searched that mountain inch by inch? His Highness is small, so it is possible that he is hiding"
"The Empress Dowager, I ask for your orders to go and find His Highness personally."
The secret guard who came back to reply had already been poisoned. At this moment, he was pulled by Andehai, and a mouthful of blood spurted out in a daze. .
When Aunt Su saw the Empress Dowager frowning, she immediately shouted in a cold voice: "Here comes someone, why don't you take him down for a good treatment."
Then she looked at An. Dehai: "Andhai, how can you be so presumptuous? Why are you pulling so hard in front of the Queen Mother? You have soiled the Queen Mother's temple, so why don't you kowtow and apologize?"
"Okay, he is also worried about Xiaoliu." The Empress Dowager waved her hands and sighed: "Why are you bothering? The Ai family has sent people to look for you. Now you are injured like this, and the remaining poison in your body has not been cleared away. It's time to rest. If you go out and make a fuss, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get Xiaoliu back."
"The Empress Dowager, it was the servant who lost the Sixth Highness, and I am willing to find His Highness." Dehai knocked his head on the ground again: "If this slave is poisoned, he will not live for more than a few days. If I die on the way to find His Highness, I will die a worthy death. I beg the Empress Dowager to grant her permission." ( End of chapter)
