Although Empress Dowager Meng's care for Meng Guiyu and Meng Guihan was far inferior to that of the other three members of the Meng family, especially the first family member.
But among the elders of the four-bedroom brothers and sisters, the Queen Mother was already very kind, kind and caring to them.
Of course, at this moment, Meng Guiyu was not in the mood to feel this kindness, kindness and concern.
What worries him is that in his series of plans, he needs the help of Queen Mother Meng.
In fact, he designed Meng Boqin to defect to Ruru, not without the consideration of monopolizing the aunt's favor and favor.
But she didn't expect that Empress Dowager Meng would faint at this moment. Although she just fainted, at this age, she had experienced the seizure of the palace before and felt sorry for the queen who was still in the palace. She had been a little shaky in the past two days. .
Being stimulated by Meng Boqin's incident again... wouldn't it be bad if something happened to him
After all, the former Concubine Mo was raised well in the side hall of Xinshou Palace. There was no news of illness in the past ten years. As a result, she was assassinated after she became critically ill, and her legs were gone.
Who knows if Queen Mother Meng will follow in the footsteps of Dowager Mo
Meng Guiyu and Meng Guihan were anxious. After going out, they immediately ordered someone to bring their mounts and galloped all the way to Chengluan Palace. When they got off their saddles, they saw the palace people inside and outside running around like headless flies. Everyone looked anxious.
Seeing Meng Guiyu, as if seeing a savior, they all came over to salute. Meng Guiyu strode in and said, "It's been so long, why are you delaying... How is my aunt now?"
"Back to the commander-in-chief, after the Queen Mother fainted, several servants moved her to the couch in the bedroom." Upon seeing this, a clever chamberlain hurriedly got up and followed quickly, saying as he walked, "After that, the legs and feet will Conveniently, the little chamberlain went to invite the imperial doctor, but he only arrived because the imperial doctors live quite a distance from here! But now he is still treating the empress!"
"Are you still being treated?" Meng Guihan was dissatisfied when he heard this, "Then why is it so boiling? If you don't know, you think something is wrong!"
Just tell him, "Go and tell the palace people to behave themselves! This person running in and out... is so unbecoming!"
The waiter agreed and went, so Meng Guihan took two steps to catch up with Meng Guiyu and whispered, "Sixth brother, what if..."
Meng Guiyu made a "silence" gesture to him, but remained silent, his face darkened, and his already fast steps became more and more hurried.
After a while, they arrived at Empress Dowager Meng's bedroom. Because the Empress Dowager was their biological aunt, she was also old, and something happened now, so they had no taboos and walked in directly.
I saw seven or eight servants who usually served the Queen Mother closely, crowded inside. They all looked worried and worried. Chi Zuosi, who had always been at the Queen Mother's side, was even more devastated. He stood there clutching the handkerchief, his eyes dull and his expression forlorn. It seemed like something was wrong at first glance.
In front of her was a couch with huanghuali carvings and pictures of tourists and ladies engraved with summer lotuses. The moon-white, golden, phoenix, peony and pearl curtain was half-covered. The rolled-up side revealed Empress Dowager Meng's eyes, which were closed, and her face. It was extremely pale and had a weak breath, which would make even a person who didn't know medical knowledge feel a sinking feeling when they saw it.
Next to the bed was a pastel embroidered piece with gold and exquisite brocade, and an old doctor with white hair and beard sitting on it. He was placing a brocade handkerchief on Queen Mother Meng's wrist and making a diagnosis with a solemn expression.
Seeing this, Meng Guiyu and Meng Guihan subconsciously slowed down their steps so as not to disturb him.
After a while, the old doctor let go of his hand and turned his head. He saw two white eyebrows frowning so tightly that they were almost twisted together.
Seeing this situation, everyone in the dormitory was slightly worried. Meng Guiyu made a "go out and tell" gesture to him, so except for three or two palace people who stayed to look after Empress Dowager Meng... Chi Zuosi of course also stayed. , everyone else retreated outside to talk.
"Imperial physician, may I ask my aunt how her body is?" Meng Guiyu was the first to ask in a low voice outside.
The old doctor frowned and said: "General, the Queen Mother is very old. She slept on the bed several times two years ago, so she lost her vitality. She moved to Shanglinyuan last time. She was originally good at raising generals. She is Very good. But on the night when the rebel king Rong Jing came to Hehuan Palace, the Queen Mother was greatly disturbed, and she was also worried about the safety of His Majesty in Hehuan Palace. At that time, she had some intention of staying here to cause hidden dangers. "
"Now I hear the bad news again... this..."
Meng Guiyu's face was filled with tears after hearing this. The imperial doctor traced the origin of Empress Dowager Meng's phoenix body condition. In the final analysis, the situation was either critical or difficult. In short, he was not very sure and worried about taking responsibility afterwards, so he went there first. Seriously.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his annoyance, and said: "I know all this. The imperial doctor will tell you when my aunt will wake up and what to do after she wakes up!"
The old doctor also wanted to talk about medical theory, but Meng Guihan, who had been impatient for a long time, scolded him. Then he said concisely: "The official immediately prescribed a prescription to boil the medicine. After the Queen Mother drank it, she passed away. He should wake up in the first half of the day. As for after he wakes up, he needs to be diagnosed and treated again to be sure."
He added, "The Queen Mother can no longer accept any stimulation now. This... Northern Xinjiang and other matters need to be comforted by the commander-in-chief and uncle, otherwise..."
Meng Guiyu nodded solemnly and said, "I understand."
He asked Meng Guihan to accompany him to prescribe prescriptions and make medicines, and asked the old doctor alone if there was anything he could not say in public.
He lifted up his robe, sat down at the head of the palace, and asked the palace officials: "Who told my aunt the rumors about Northern Xinjiang and deliberately made her angry?!"
The palace attendants who came out looked at me and I looked at you. They were silent for a while. When they saw that Meng Guiyu's eyes were getting sharper and sharper, and there seemed to be murderous intent lingering around him, there was a little palace maid who couldn't stand the pressure and became timid. He said: "Yes... it's Chi Zuosi!"
"Chi Zuosi?" Meng Guiyu frowned. He thought it was King Gaomi or Mi Zhen or someone else who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Empress Dowager Meng, lower the morale of Shanglinyuan, and make him do the following. There is one less person to rely on.
Who knew it was Chi Zuosi... This female official of the Xinshou Palace who succeeded Mrs. Xiang was Empress Dowager Meng's most loyal confidant and could not be trusted.
Of course, Meng would not leave any doubts about her details. Only after combing through them repeatedly and confirming that they were correct would she allow Empress Dowager Meng to trust her.
If Chi Zuosi is someone else's accomplice, then there will be no one trustworthy in the Meng family.
Meng Guiyu thought to himself: "My aunt is the introduction and guarantee for the rise of the Meng family. Zheng Hou and the others cannot leave hidden dangers around my aunt no matter what. The investigation and tracking of Chi Zuosi is not as good as the previous investigation and follow-up of Meng Boxen and Meng Jiayan." A thorough investigation of Liu must be the result of all the family's methods... so Chi Zuosi must be trustworthy."
And since Chi Zuosi is trustworthy, of course he would not want to kill the Queen Mother.
So why did she still tell the Queen Mother this news that would obviously irritate the Queen Mother while still setting her eyes
When Meng Guiyu thought of this, his heart sank, and he thought to himself, "Did Meng Boqin notice my intentions and send someone to complain to my aunt?"
Although it was too late for Meng Boqin to realize his regret at this time, he was Empress Dowager Meng's favorite nephew after all, so it would not be a bad idea to secretly send a message to the Empress Dowager and ask her to help him take revenge on Meng Guiyu.
"It's just that third brother, you have finally taken the step of treason. Even if my aunt still wants to favor you, she is powerless!" Meng Guiyu sneered secretly and said silently, "The legacy of the Meng family belongs to me, and my aunt's future You have to rely on me... Even if she knows that I set you up, what can she do? I forgive her for not having the determination to die with me! What's more, she loves her nephew very much, so she doesn't care about her only son? Now? Rong Jing is watching intently... The safety of their mother and son is entirely in my hands!"
He had confidence in his heart. Although he guessed that there would be a violent storm once Empress Dowager Meng woke up, he was not nervous. After thinking for a while, he said: "You go in alone, replace Chi Zuosi, and say I want to Ask her a few questions."
The little palace maid who had just answered timidly went away.
After a while, Chi Zuosi, whose face was full of tears, came over. Seeing Meng Guiyu sitting at the top, he knelt down and said, "This slave deserves death. Please punish me, Commander-in-Chief!"
"Zuosi, you are an old man in front of my aunt, and you have always been loyal to her." Meng Guiyu looked at her and said in a gentle tone, "If anyone else told my aunt such cruel news, I would definitely think that It's evil, it's secret, it's a deliberate attempt to harm my aunt! But you're different, I don't believe you have any ill intentions towards my aunt. So... what's going on? "
Chi Zuosi wiped his tears and said, "This is all my fault! In the morning, before the Empress Dowager got up, I took people outside to collect dew and make tea for the Empress Dowager. But I heard someone said The Hussar General was very alarmed about his treason. After returning here, I felt uneasy. Then the Queen Mother saw it and said that something was wrong in Shanglin Garden. After repeated questioning, the slave... the slave accidentally I spilled the beans! And then... Then, the queen, she... How can this slave be worthy of the love that the queen has given me over the years?!"
"..." Meng Guiyu frowned, not quite believing this. Chi Zuosi is not a newcomer who entered the palace this year. She has been in the palace for more than twenty years. There are also more than a dozen female officials who serve as the Queen Mother's personal officers. Years ago, because the Queen Mother did not interfere in political affairs, she could not have seen all the scenes, but she was definitely not Chu'er who was so panicked when she heard about Meng Boqin's treason that she couldn't even hide it!
Otherwise, how can one be qualified for the position of director
"Most likely, she realized that she couldn't fall out with me right now, so she used this excuse to cover up." Meng Guiyu thought to himself, "If this is the case, when my aunt wakes up later, she will probably pretend that she doesn't doubt me... Well, that’s not bad. I’m busy now and don’t have much time to coax my aunt. Of course it’s better if she’s not annoyed.”
As for the reluctance of Queen Mother Meng's master and servant, whether there will be any movement in the future... Meng Guiyu feels that with his current development momentum, there is no need to worry.
Unless the Queen Mother enters a state of having no thoughts, no thoughts, no desires and no pursuits, she, Emperor Xuan Jing, and the Meng family will no longer want their family reputation.
Otherwise, when Zheng Hou and others were all killed and wounded, Meng Boqin defected to Ruru, and only she and Meng Guihan were left in the great Meng family, what else could she do if she did not rely on and cultivate herself
After tapping the cases in front of him with his fingers, Meng Guiyu said calmly: "Chi Zuosi, since everything was an accident, you don't have to blame yourself too much! My aunt has always been generous, so she may not punish her for this... Get up and go to serve in Haosheng. Auntie, this is how you atone for your sins!"
Chi Zuosi sobbed and agreed, getting up somewhat staggeringly.
Meng Guiyu comforted him a few more words and looked after the other palace people, and finally said: "I want to go to the Tasha River to take a look, lest King Rongjing takes the opportunity to cross the river... I'll see my aunt again in half a day, now. Auntie, I’ll leave it to you!”
Half a day later, it was estimated that Queen Mother Meng had woken up, so Meng Guiyu took the time to return to Chengluan Palace.
