[Seventy-five] Cat control the rivers and lakes

He followed Eunuch Su to Ningle Palace where the Empress Dowager lives, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, a maid greeted him at the gate.

"Miss Gongsun came just in time. The Queen Mother is in the house. Go and see, Miss."

Because she healed the queen mother's eyes, the maids around the queen mother were particularly impressed with Gongsun Junruo, and they also liked this quiet woman who worked hard and did not go out of her way.For them, the arrival of Gongsun Junruo is like the arrival of hope.

Facing the expectant eyes of the palace maids, Gongsun Junruo really wanted to tell them that she could only do her best, because doing things is up to people to make things happen, but they were so eager to push her inside that even I can't even speak well.

When she came to Empress Dowager Li's bed, she was taken aback.

In my impression, although Empress Dowager Li doesn't prefer to wear gold and silver, her demeanor in her bones is her best embellishment. Whether it is mental outlook or posture, she is not inferior to a person in her 30s and [-]s, but now she is lying on the bed Her face was pale and spiritless, as if she had aged a lot all of a sudden, like a dry lamp that was about to run out of oil and was about to burn out.

"Is it Miss Gongsun?" Hearing the voice, the Queen Mother tried to open her eyes.

Gongsun Junruo took her pulse and replied: "Yes, Empress Dowager, it's me, Gongsun Junruo."

"Trouble you for a walk, Aijia... I'm afraid it's going to die." She spoke with difficulty, with a breathless breath, as if her soul was about to be pulled away.

"Don't say that, Empress Dowager, there is always a way."

"No... no, the Ai family... know..." Empress Dowager Li shook her head with difficulty, her eyes were out of focus, "The pearl was given to the Ai family by the late emperor, and the Ai family never left when they were living abroad. Now the pearl has been stolen. Well, the Ai family will die soon, and they are going to see the late emperor, but...but..." She took a deep breath and continued, "But, what face does the Ai family have to go and see the late emperor..." As she spoke, A line of clear tears fell from the corner of her eyes and fell into her gray hair.

Seeing this, the maids turned away and wiped away their tears.

"Empress Dowager, Mingzhu will definitely come back, don't worry."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes, and kept saying the words "I hope so" in her mouth.

Seeing this, Gongsun Junruo took out a cloth bag from the medicine box, unfolded it, took out a few needles from it, and stuck them in several acupuncture points.The queen mother was still talking non-stop, but her voice was obviously much weaker, and the expression on her face was not as sad as it was at the beginning.

"How is the queen mother?" Song Renzong strode in, the sun fell behind him, his bright yellow dragon robe changed from light to dark, and he came to Gongsun Junruo all of a sudden, "How is the queen mother?"

"Hush—" Gongsun Junruo made a silent gesture, and then continued to feel the empress dowager's pulse.Under the treatment of acupuncture and moxibustion, she has already rested, so that it is convenient for her to diagnose and treat her.

Song Renzong stood quietly aside, watching the changes in the Queen Mother's expression.

"The empress dowager's illness can be controlled," Gongsun Junruo stood up and replied, "The empress dowager's body seems to be poisoned. The poison has been cured before, but it has not been completely eliminated. In addition, because the pearl was stolen, her It hits the body, mind and soul, which triggers a relapse of the toxin.”

When Song Renzong heard that the queen mother had some help, he immediately relaxed, and the expression on his face relaxed a lot, "That's good, that's good."

"It's just the poison...Jun Ruo needs to study it more carefully, Your Majesty, has the Empress Dowager suffered from any poison before?"

"After you said that, I remembered that at the beginning of this year, my mother went to the temple to pray, but was stung by poison on the way."

She further asked: "Do you know what kind of poison it is?"

Song Renzong shook his head, "The imperial doctor can't make a diagnosis, and because of the Green Dragon Ball, the queen mother's poison will be cured." He paused, and then said, "According to you, now there is only the Green Dragon Ball?"

Gongsun Junruo nodded, "That's the case, but the empress dowager's heart trauma is too great, I'm afraid that even if there is a blue dragon ball, it will only be temporary."

"Then what should I do?" Song Renzong was so anxious that he was at a loss as to what to do. "Finally, there is hope..."

"Currently, Jun Ruo can only use acupuncture to keep the empress dowager awake. If she is to fully recover, she still needs a heart medicine. Therefore, only by finding the pearl can the empress dowager have the motivation to survive."

"You said acupuncture was used to maintain the Queen Mother's will, so how long can it last at most?"

"Up to seven days."

"Okay! Then I will ask Bao Qing to retrieve the pearl within five days, and I will punish those five damned mice severely!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down," Gongsun Junruo stopped Song Renzong who was about to leave, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, although the five rats are people from the world, their chivalry is invaluable, and each of these five people is usable. Why don’t you guide him correctly and serve the emperor and Song Dynasty in the future?”

"These people in the rivers and lakes have no law, even dare to break into the palace, steal the empress dowager's pearl and make the empress seriously ill in bed, how can you calm down this tone?"

"Actually, there is a reason for them to do this." Thinking of Bai Yutang as the leader, who did not hesitate to make a scene in the palace in order to remove the title of "Royal Cat" for Zhan Zhao, she didn't know whether to praise them for their courage or scold them for being bold. After this beam is formed, it is estimated that they will have no choice but to not know each other.

"What's the reason? Can there be no law if there is a reason?" Song Renzong's voice suddenly rose a little, "Bao Qing pleaded for them, unexpectedly you also pleaded for them, all of you want to fight against me, can't you? "As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and turned his back angrily.

"Your majesty, if you don't mean that..." She sighed in her heart, and secretly scolded Bai Yutang and the others for making such a big basket. They probably don't know their situation yet, so they should be complacent, hey!A group of idiots, what kind of chivalrous people, they are all small-hearted people, a single title can drive them crazy, what is it if they are not idiots?

"To be honest, Jun Ruo knew the five rats, and even sworn sisters with the leader's wife, so if Jun knew about their temperament, otherwise, he wouldn't plead for them."

Song Renzong turned around and looked her up and down, with suspicion on his face, "When did you get involved with people from the Jianghu?"

"It's a long story. Jun Ruozi will tell you slowly when there is a chance in the future. As for the Pearl, Jun Ruo wants to give it a try."

"How to try?" Song Renzong raised his eyebrows, obviously he didn't believe her.

"Your Majesty, please give Jun Ruo five days. Within five days, Jun Ruo will definitely return the pearl to Zhao together with Mr. Bao."

After hearing this, Song Renzong pressed his forehead with a headache, and spoke tiredly after a long time, "I will leave this matter to Bao Qing. You just need to treat my mother's illness well."

Returning to Kaifeng Mansion, Gongsun Junruo felt an invisible oppressive atmosphere over Kaifeng Mansion just after entering the door. Even the few small yamen servants who liked to joke the most on weekdays became taciturn, listless after changing shifts. Sitting on the steps, with his head down, he didn't know what he was thinking.A few were whispering, and when she approached they stopped talking, and did not resume the conversation they had stopped until she was gone.

It seems that the emperor asked Bao Gong to find the Pearl and the matter has spread like wildfire.Once the pearl was lost, the queen mother fell ill, and Longyan was furious. Bao Gong had to protect the five rats Zhouquan and intentionally include them in his name, and also got the pearl back within the stipulated date. heavy responsibility.

Since Baogong appointed the Governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, he has encountered countless difficulties, large and small, and faced the situation of being dismissed several times, but in the end he turned the danger into safety.He has long regarded the rise and fall of fame and fortune in the officialdom, and he only wants to have a clear conscience. Now he does not hesitate to sing against the emperor many times for the sake of the five rats, and he also fights for his official position.

Song Renzong gave him a five-day deadline, but the five rats came and went without a trace, and it was a problem just to know their whereabouts.

etc!Maybe someone knows where they are.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Junruo came out of the house and turned into the guest room of Kaifeng Mansion.Standing in front of the door, she tapped on the door a few times.

"Who is it?" A voice came from inside the room.

"it's me."

After a short wait, the door opened, and seeing that it was Gongsun Junruo, Meng Chunni's expression immediately changed.

"What are you doing here? What's the matter?" She looked extremely disgusted to see Gongsun Junruo, but she still had to be patient.

"It's important." Gongsun Junruo said seeing Meng Chunni's increasingly impatient expression, "Do you know where the Five Rats are? If you don't want them to have something to do, you'd better take me to find them, otherwise they will be in trouble. "

Meng Chunni frowned, obviously not believing her words.

"The Five Rats stole the Pearl. This is a capital crime. The Empress Dowager is in danger. Lord Bao only has five days to retrieve the Pearl. Otherwise, not only will his official position be lost, but the Five Rats will also end badly. If you don't want this to happen, Better take me to them."

Meng Chunni tilted her head, "Why should I trust you?"

"You can open the Fengfu and ask yourself what kind of problems Mr. Bao is facing. Besides, Mr. Lu's wife, Min Xiuxiu, is my sworn sister. I don't want my friend's husband to become a widow at a young age."

There was a moment of silence, Meng Chunni stared closely at Gongsun Junruo's eyes, trying to catch a little bit of a lie in her eyes, but her clear, firm and unabashed eyes made Meng Chunni shaken, and it took her a long time before she turned around and walked away. He took his saber from the room and left with Gongsun Junruo.

Juxian Building, second floor.

Bai Yutang and the others were overjoyed with the spoils they got, and they wanted their elder brother Lu Fang to feel their joy too.The three treasures they stole this time can be said to be of great value, especially the seemingly inconspicuous pearl, which is even worth a city. Thinking that this time it will make Zhan Zhao suffer, that is simply too much. It is even more exciting than getting the martial arts cheats.

Originally, he wanted to make Lu Fang happy too, but he frowned sadly and said, "You guys actually stole into the palace this time. I'm afraid there will be stains on us Five Rats in the future."

When the four people who were originally complacent heard what he said, their emotions immediately became much more depressed.but……

"But brother, if we teach that Zhan Zhao a lesson so that he won't underestimate us Five Rats, it will be worthwhile to visit the palace in his lifetime."

The answer was the second child, Han Zhang. He was not as stable as Lu Fang, but he was a wise man of the Five Rats, and many of his tricks came from him.Hearing what he said, even though Lu Fang was still worried, he didn't say anything more.

Five rats connect hearts, no matter who gets into trouble, it must be five people who advance and retreat together.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, they looked at each other, Han Zhang and Jiang Ping were responsible for hiding the treasure, Bai Yutang went to open the door, Bai Yutang saw Meng Chunni outside the door, his eyes lit up, and he paid attention Gongsun Junruo who came behind her was full of doubts again.

Meng Chunni likes Zhan Zhao, and if Gongsun Jun is Zhan Zhao's wife, it is reasonable to say that they are rivals in love, why did they come to her together today?

"Bai Xia, may I ask if it is convenient for you to come to visit this time?"

"It's convenient." Bai Yutang gave up a seat, turned to everyone in the room and said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, let's see who's here."
