Dahanjiao Queen

It was not easy to find an imperial doctor to diagnose Liu Qi's pulse. During the day, Pingyang went to the Shaofu, but it was not until it was almost dark that Pingyang brought him here.At this time, the file that Chen Jiao ordered Liu Nian to look for had already arrived in her hands.

"Why, why don't you tell me?" Princess Guantao sat up from the bed, she just made the imperial doctor swear, but he still said that His Majesty's illness will be cured in a few days.Until Chen Jiao threw a roll of bamboo slips in front of him, the imperial doctor's expression changed drastically.

"A-Jiao, if he doesn't say it, you can."

"Okay." Chen Jiao spread out the bamboo slips in front of the imperial doctor, "This is your handwriting, right? I have a question to ask—why does a person who is about to die use these life-threatening herbs? ...Are you going to tell me that this prescription is not for His Majesty?"

"This is……"

"Yes, you are not mistaken, this is your medical record. All your diagnoses and prescriptions are here - I brought them from Shaofu. It is very simple to know if you are telling the truth. Check You will know immediately. Me, my aunt, and Princess Pingyang are looking for you, but we just want to give you another chance!" Chen Jiao carefully observed the expression of the imperial doctor, "I know, someone must have sealed you. Password, but that doesn’t mean you’re fine if you don’t say it. You left evidence, which is the first thing you did wrong; as for the second thing, you don’t know how to know current affairs. Someone must have promised you a high official and rich salary, but... are you sure that that person has enough ability to keep you safe after the Dongchuang incident, instead of killing you to silence you and have no evidence?"

"I..." The imperial doctor's face was already sweating, "I said..."

"If you still want to say that what you said is true, then explain why this record is different from what you said! Of course, I welcome you to say something else. For example... what are you going to say in exchange Princess Guantao and I promise to keep you safe?"

Chen Jiao stared at the imperial doctor closely, the cold sweat on his forehead was getting more and more, he couldn't help but raised his hand to wipe it off: "I..."

"Huh? It seems that the imperial doctor has nothing to say to us, so I will trouble my cousin and send the imperial doctor! The imperial doctor does not know how to choose between the stakes, so why not talk to my cousin."

"I... I will retire."

Chen Jiao watched the imperial doctor follow Pingyang to the door, but suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Princess Guantao: "I beg the princess to spare my life..."

"Oh?" Chen Jiao and Princess Guantao looked at each other, deliberately showing confusion, "If you don't say anything, how can I help you?"

"I... I knew it! I knew I couldn't hide it... I can pass the first day of junior high school, but I can't pass the fifteenth! Princess... I... Your Majesty is only a few days away..."

"How many days is a few days? Three days? Five days? Aren't you using medicine to prolong his life?" Chen Jiao and Princess Guantao were shocked in their hearts, but they still pretended to be calm and insisted on asking why. , "What is your Majesty doing now? Is it really impossible to see the wind?"

The imperial doctor fell on the ground, not daring to take a breath: "Your Majesty...it's only been two days. The Empress Dowager ordered no one to see her, and I have nothing to do..."

"Empress Dowager's order?"

"Yes."

Empress Dowager Dou ordered that no one should see Her Majesty, and there must be some tricks in it.

"Auntie, what do you say?"

"The empress does not let everyone see His Majesty. Naturally, there is a reason for the empress. Gillian, stop messing around. Now that you know about His Majesty's situation, you can be at ease with your uncle? How about this, tomorrow you go with the imperial doctor Look at your uncle, it fulfills your filial piety." Princess Guantao naturally didn't want Pingyang to know their mother and daughter's plans, "A-Jiao, what do you think?"

"Aniang is right." Chen Jiao changed her attitude, "It was A-Jiao's fault just now, and I asked the imperial doctor to ignore me for the sake of my filial piety to my uncle."

"No, no, my lord is serious." The imperial doctor didn't dare to accept Chen Jiao's gift, he understood Princess Guantao's meaning, and hurriedly said, "If the lord is worried, you might as well pretend to be a minister's drug boy tomorrow, What does the Lord Weng think of entering the palace with the ministers?"

"So much work." Chen Jiao turned her head and said to Pingyang, "Cousin don't have to worry too much, if the prince is really on the way back, he will naturally see uncle for the last time, if it is...you can't force it."

Pingyang sighed: "That's the only way to go, Gillian. Speaking of which, you are not only the most beloved niece of the father, but also his future daughter-in-law. It would be best if you go and see him. The emperor's grandmother is always ready for any news. I don't know, I can only chat with A-Jiao, but in the end, the more I chat, the more worried I can only come up with this method, and please don't be offended by the imperial doctor. Now that the news is there, no matter whether it is good or bad, it finally has a bottom line. Yu Doctor, I'll take you home."

"I... I dare not."

"Su Xin, then you can send the imperial doctor!" It was really inappropriate for the princess to send the imperial doctor, so Chen Jiao called Su Xin and asked her to send the imperial doctor back to Shaofu.

"Here."

**********

On the second day, Chen Jiao, who was disguised as a drug boy, followed the imperial doctor into the inner room where Liu Qi was recuperating.

"How is Uncle today?" Chen Jiao looked at the imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis, "Are you feeling better?"

"From the looks of it, it's indeed better than yesterday, but—"

"Just what?"

"I'm afraid it's just a flashback."

"What?" Gillian hurriedly walked to Liu Qi's bed, and called softly, "Uncle, do you still recognize me? I'm Gillian, your favorite Gillian."

"A...Jiao..." Hearing the voice, Liu Qi slightly opened his eyes. It was very difficult for him to speak now.

"Uncle," Chen Jiao helped Liu Qi sit up, "Uncle, don't worry, Che'er is already on his way back, and I will always be by your side."

"It's too late..." Liu Qi kept repeating, "I won't see Che'er..."

"Uncle, no, Che'er is close to your father and son, and he must be working hard to come back day and night."

"It's too late...Jiao...Jiao...The last edict...is...is..."

Chen Jiao followed Liu Qi's gaze: "Pillow?"

She turned the pillow out and looked, but found nothing except Yuxi.

"Uncle asked me to hold the jade seal?"

Liu Qi nodded slightly.

Chen Jiao carefully put away the jade seal, but someone announced at the door that "the empress dowager has arrived".She looked around the room, she couldn't let Dou Yifang find herself, rolled over, hid under Liu Qi's hospital bed, and found a brocade box under the bed, inside the brocade box was a piece of jade, written by Liu Qi himself The imperial edict written.

The light under the bed was dim, Chen Jiao spread out the jade silk and looked at it, it was the edict from Liu Che, but - the jade seal hadn't been sealed yet.Chen Jiao understood Liu Qi's meaning of asking her to take the jade seal, and immediately stamped the seal on the edict without hesitation.

Empress Dowager Dou waved back her servants, and took out a false edict written in advance to force Liu Qi to build a seal.When Liu Qi saw that he wanted King Liang to succeed him, he was furious. Empress Dowager Dou searched around the house, but she couldn't find Yuxi.Chen Jiao secretly lifted the curtain of the bed and looked at it. Seeing that she would be found by someone if she went on like this, she had no choice but to put the jade seal on the ground, pretending that the jade seal had been accidentally knocked down on the ground.

Empress Dowager Dou didn't suspect him, so she stamped a false edict with a jade seal: "Hmph, you are still not good when you are dying!"

Chen Jiao fell on the ground and bit her own hand, which kept her from crying.It is said that a tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, but Dou Yifang... in order to let her favorite youngest son ascend the throne, she would not hesitate to piss off her other son to death. She is so cruel, she thinks she will never be able to do it.

Accompanied by the sound of her body falling on the bed, Dou Yi's room put away the false edict, and then called the imperial doctor in to announce the emperor's death.

Holding back the tears in her eyes, Chen Jiao bit her right hand until it was bloody and bloody, but she didn't feel the pain at all. She listened carefully to the movement outside, and only when she heard Princess Guantao's cry, she secretly raised the bed curtain to look outside Case.

"A Niang..." She tugged at Guan Tao's long sleeve, "A Niang..."

"A-Jiao?" Princess Guantao has been looking for A-Jiao since she came in just now. Seeing her now, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Why...you follow me out!"

"it is good."

Hiding the bitten hand in her sleeve, Chen Jiao lowered her head and followed Princess Guantao out of the hall like a palace official.As soon as she left the palace, Princess Guantao asked Su Xin to take her into the chariot and sent her back to the mansion first, while she went to help the queen deal with Emperor Jing's funeral.

**********

"Don't rush back home, Su Xin, help me find a horse, I'm going to Zhang Tang's."

"Looking for a horse?"

"The chariot is too attractive. By the way, what about Fleeting Years?"

"Miss Fleeting Years is in the mansion." When Su Xin replied, she felt a little sour in her heart. Both she and Jinse had served Weng Lord since he was a child, but as time went by, Weng Lord trusted her more and more.

"I have a wound on my hand. Since Liu Nian is not here, I can't bandage it, and it's not convenient for me to ride a horse. How about this, you accompany me to Zhang Tang's place, and tell them to find an alley, and we get out of the car and walk over there."

"Walk?"

Chen Jiao glanced at Su Xin: "I thought you should know what to ask and what not to ask."

"...The servant is wrong."

"It's easy to know a mistake, but it's not easy to correct it." Chen Jiao's face darkened, "You are waiting for me on the chariot outside, so you don't have to go with me. Su Xin, you have been with me for almost 20 years, yes , I do rely more on fleeting time, that is outside, in the mansion, Jinse does better. As for you... Su Xin, you originally followed my mother, and she let you follow me because she saw that you were prudent. , I also want you to treat the people around me well. But Su Xin...you have let me down a little now."

"My lord..."

"Stay in the car and think about it, Su Xin, His Majesty passed away, and I'm going to get married too. I think, what's next... you can figure it out yourself!" Chen Jiao clicked to stop, "Stay in Wait for me in the chariot, think about it carefully. Do you want to stay in the mansion forever, or follow me."

"Here."
