How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

Just before the Chuanlu Ceremony was held.

In Kunning Palace, on the soft couch.

Queen Zhang Yan turned pale, opened her eyes slightly, and called softly.

"Lingxuan... Is Lingxuan here?"

"Miss!"

Lu Lingxuan was throwing a wet towel when she heard this and ran over in a hurry, her eyes uncontrollably overflowing with tears.

Ever since Baozhu was knocked out by Ke Yinyuehuohuo one day ago, his health has not been good. He has been suffering from high fever and feeling dizzy.

Today I finally woke up a little and actually called out my name.

"Lingxuan... you... you are indeed by my side..."

Zhang Yan was relieved to see her best friend who had grown up with her since childhood.

"Mother, how could Lingxuan leave? Lingxuan will not leave you even if she dies."

Lu Lingxuan was about to cry again when she saw this, but Zhang Yan stretched out a hand and touched her head.

"Don't cry! Xuan'er, have you forgotten Master's teachings? Crying can't solve any problems, it will only make the weak more incompetent..."

Lu Lingxuan could only grit her teeth and keep nodding.

"Okay, okay! Madam, if Lingxuan doesn't cry, Lingxuan will never cry again."

Zhang Yan was a little relieved, but as if she remembered something, she suddenly touched her belly.

"By the way, my child, my child..."

She thought of Ke Yinyue's shameless appearance, of the slap Zhu Youxiao had given her, and even of how she fainted and died on the spot.

Zhang Yan is really afraid that something will happen to the child in her belly.

After all, she is eight or nine months pregnant.

If something happens to the child, what's the point of living for her?

Only when his tentacles touched his swollen belly did he feel completely relieved.

She could feel the baby moving in her belly, and it seemed that her belly was not hurt that day.

"Don't worry, Madam. The female medical officer of the Shangshi Bureau said that you just had fetal movement and the baby is safe. It's just that... you may give birth prematurely in the near future..."

Lu Lingxuan said uneasily, but she didn't expect Zhang Yan to look away completely.

Haha, if you give birth prematurely, you will give birth prematurely.

This child had a hard life. His biological father was not around when he was born.

I don’t know what dangerous things I will encounter in the future.

As a mother, I just want you to be healthy.

Zhang Yan smiled and no longer struggled with this issue, but was suddenly surprised.

"Wait a minute, Lingxuan...I...I have been unconscious for a few days. Has the palace examination started yet?"

She even sat up and asked anxiously.

Seeing that the empress still cared about her husband, Lu Lingxuan sighed secretly and forced a smile.

"My dear, you have been in a coma for a day and a night, and the imperial examination has been held long ago. Today is the ceremony for passing on the emperor. Listen..."

After being prompted by Lu Lingxuan, Zhang Yan heard the majestic music coming from outside.

She understood that it was a piece of music that the imperial court would only play when holding important ceremonies.

The girl shook her head in embarrassment: "I have been in a coma for a whole day and a night, and I have already held a grand ceremony for passing on the throne?"

"As expected, the emperor still didn't listen to my dissuasion and decided to play tricks on Enke."

Lu Lingxuan sighed, unable to say anything.

However, in order to comfort Baozhu, he still smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, empress."

"The news will start soon, and the whole imperial city will be able to hear the news. If our husband really wins the top prize in high school, wouldn't it be a great joy?"

"When you give birth to a prince again, it will be a double happiness!"

Zhang Yan smiled lightly when she heard Lu Lingxuan's relief, and the image of that man appeared in her mind.

Like a brother, like a father, like a friend.

Especially after seeing Zhu Youxiao's extremely shameless behavior, he lamented his ill-fated fate even more.

Master, Master!

Why do you have to drive me to Kyoto?

Wouldn't it be nice to just let me stay by your side and accompany you for the rest of your life?

This Empress of Ming Dynasty is not what I want.

But seeing that her master was finally going to make a difference, she became a little excited and even felt hungry.

She accepted the rice porridge from Lu Lingxuan and was determined to take good care of herself. She even saw if she could attend the Chuanlu Rongrong banquet tonight and see Li Xin with her own eyes.

Although we know that the two of them are worlds apart and their identities are very different, it is good to even take a look.

Seeing Baozhu start eating, Lu Lingxuan was relieved and hurriedly waited on her.

Only to find that Baozhu hadn't taken a few bites, he frowned again.

"What's the matter, concubine?"

Zhang Yan's face began to turn pale: "Hiss...Lingxuan..."

"I don't know if I bumped into the courtyard pillar that day. I didn't realize until I got up that my waist hurt so much. It hurt so much that I couldn't eat..."

"what?"

Lu Lingxuan was startled when she heard this and hurriedly touched Zhang Yan's lower back.

"It hurts!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched it, Zhang Yan screamed again and subconsciously avoided it.

"Oh, I must have hit my waist! This... what should I do..."

Lu Lingxuan's face turned pale with fright, and she was so nervous that she had to go outside to find someone.

She wanted to call the female medical officers from Shangshi Bureau to come over and see what was wrong with Zhang Yan's waist.

"Oh, Lingxuan, why are you panicking..."

Zhang Yan stopped Lu Lingxuan and said, "Don't go to those female medical officers. I once said that the concubines in the harem, including myself, are not allowed to bother them with trivial matters, let alone pretend to be sick and waste material resources..."

"Do you want me to break the rules I have set?"

"Ah, this..."

Lu Lingxuan suddenly froze on the spot, a little embarrassed.

Since Baozhu took control of the Sixth Palace, he not only had strict demands on himself, but also on the concubines of the Sixth Palace.

Any concubine who has a minor ailment should not seek treatment from a medical officer.

Because once the medical officer treats the disease, it means spending a lot of tonic medicinal materials, wasting the national treasury, and consuming manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

Maybe outsiders don't understand what it means, but Lu Lingxuan knows it all too well.

There are so many doors in the harem, and they don't make too many concessions when it comes to important things like the imperial court.

For example, if a concubine or the late emperor's concubine pretends to be ill, she will first ask a female medical officer to come over for diagnosis and treatment. Naturally, the female medical officer will not dare to say that the empress is not sick, so she will naturally find something wrong.

Once the problem is found, there is reason to consume a large amount of precious medicinal materials from the concubine.

These medicines are treasures of heaven and earth and are extremely valuable. Who knows where they will be consumed in the end?

And since the inner treasury has lost these medicinal materials, for the sake of the emperor, they have to go outside the palace to purchase them. Who knows how much money it will cost to purchase them?

Many concubines were not favored by the emperor and their salaries were not high, so they could only make some extra money through this method.

If it were normal, that would be fine. Zhang Yan was not such a rigid person, so she would just turn a blind eye and get over it.

But now the Ming Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, the national treasury is empty, and money is needed everywhere.

Just one concubine's illness often costs thousands of taels.

Saving this money to fight the war is the most important thing.

Therefore, for the past two years, including Zhang Yan herself, she has been gritting her teeth and dealing with minor problems such as headaches and fever.

If you really can't resist it, you will call the medical officer to come over for diagnosis and treatment.

Honestly, it's incredible.

Ever since Zhang Yan became queen, the lives of the concubines in the harem have not been satisfactory.

But there is no way. The prosperous Ming Dynasty in the past has long been in ruins, struggling to hold on.

"Then...then the queen can't just hold on!"

Lu Lingxuan said bitterly that she would go against Zhang Yan's wishes and still go to the medical officer.

"Oh! It's okay, it's okay..."

Zhang Yan waved her hand and said with a smile: "Well, I heard that there is a nanny in Shang Bedroom who is good at massage. The ladies in the palace said that her skills are very good."

"Go and call her over and ask her to rub it for me. Maybe everything will be fine."

"Miss!"

Lu Lingxuan replied angrily, but there was nothing she could do.

Since the Sui Dynasty, six bureaus have been set up in the harem, namely Shang Gong, Shang Yi, Shang Fu, Shang Shi, Shang Bed and Shang Gong.

And after she entered the palace with Baozhu, she was still a fifth-rank female official in the Shang Palace Bureau.

She had also heard of the massage nun in the dormitory. She was very enthusiastic and had been working in the harem all year round to give massages to the maids who were tired from working in the harem.

only……

As an emperor and empress, you are the mother of the world. Why do you live in such a miserable state...

"Go quickly!"

Seeing Lu Lingxuan standing still, Zhang Yan couldn't help but urge her again.

"Okay, okay! Wait a moment, ma'am, I'm going."

Zhang Yan then smiled sweetly, said nothing, and quietly listened to music playing from the front yard.

She understood that the ceremony of passing on the music would begin after the music was played.

Whether that guy Master can obtain the No. 1 Scholar status will be revealed immediately.

the other side.

Lu Lingxuan also jogged all the way to the office of Shang Bed Bureau.

The maids and officials saw the celebrity next to the queen and did not dare to stop him, so they hurriedly asked what happened.

Lu Lingxuan smiled at them, walked all the way to the depths, and said politely to the bedchamber, "Ms. Lin, my wife suddenly has severe pain in her lower back. I would like to call your Aunt Wang to come over and give her a rub."

This……

The female officer surnamed Lin had a somewhat complicated look in her eyes, her eyes were a little dodgeful, and she finally gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to speak.

"Oops, does the Queen have a backache? Unfortunately, Grandma Wang fell ill a few days ago and is bedridden. How about I call a palace maid who is also proficient in massage techniques to go over and give the Queen a look?"

Ok?

I got sick?

Lu Lingxuan was stunned and didn't think much about it.

"Okay, please also ask Master Lin to arrange it as soon as possible..."

While the two were talking, someone in the room was watching quietly through the window paper.

If Li Xin were present, he would probably be shocked.

The man was dressed in a flying fish suit, with an embroidered spring knife hanging across his waist.

Astonishingly, it was Lu Wenzhao from Jinyiwei Zuozhen Fusi Qianhu!
