Chapter 268

"Your aunt? Is your aunt in the palace

"Well! I just saw her! They say she lives in the palace

Qin Chuyu was at a loss.

Living in a palace? The only people who really live in the palace are the princes, such as the empress dowager, the empress concubines and their princes. However, there are many maids in the palace. Maybe one of them is the aunt of my little friend?

"What's your aunt's name?" Qin Chuyu asked.

"My aunt called... Called..." xiaojingkong remembered for a while that she didn't know her name, "I don't know!"

"This..." Qin Chuyu sighed, "if you don't know the name, it will be very difficult to find. There are more people in the Imperial Palace than in the Imperial College."

Xiaojingkong recalled it carefully, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, saying: "they call her the Empress Dowager!"

"Cough!" Qin Chuyu choked, "too, Empress Dowager? Is your aunt the Empress Dowager? Are you the Zhuang family? "

Xiaojingkong thought about it and said rigorously, "I'm a farmer in the countryside, but now we move to the capital and don't farm, so I can't be regarded as a farmer."

Qin Chuyu: what does it have to do with farming? Why didn't you move to the capital? Can this be changed at will?

Two children cow head not horse mouth to say for a long time, Qin Chuyu also didn't understand small clear space in the end is not Zhuang family.

He's only eight years old. He doesn't understand, but he doesn't understand. He also knows that empress dowager and concubine Zhuang don't deal with each other.

Qin Chuyu said, "if you were the Zhuang family, I would not be able to play with you in the future."

Xiaojingkong stares round eyes and says: "but I'm not a farmer now! You can play with me

"Well, all right." He was also reluctant to give up his little friend, "but I can't take you to the palace today. Recently, my sister-in-law is ill. My brother is in a bad mood. If I take my little friend to the palace, he will be upset. In this way, if you wait another two days, I will take you to the palace. "

Small clearance: that's the only way.

Empress Dowager Zhuang returned to Renshou palace, where she had been away for more than a year.

Renshou palace is as old as before. Even the palace people are the same as before she left the palace.

Empress Dowager Zhuang went back to the palace in a high profile and didn't communicate with the emperor ahead of time. What a surprise to the emperor!

Empress Dowager Zhuang was sitting on the Phoenix chair on the steps of the main hall, wearing a black red embroidered Golden Phoenix robe and a Golden Phoenix crown. She was elegant and powerful.

Standing on the white marble floor in front of her, the emperor looked respectful and filial: "it's a great honor for the country that the mother and empress Phoenix are healthy."

Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes fell lightly on the emperor's face and said, "it's good for the emperor to understand."

The emperor's eyes moved, and he said with a smile to empress dowager Zhuang: "it's a long way to the palace. The empress mother is tired along the way. The children's ministers brought the royal doctor Liang to ask for a safe pulse for her. Dr. Liang

"I'm here!" Over 50 years old, Dr. Liang came forward with a medicine box. He knelt down and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager. "I welcome the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is thousands of years old

With a sneer, Empress Dowager Zhuang leaned out her hand and said carelessly, "if the emperor is filial, he will not feel sad for his family."

The emperor winked at the doctor and motioned him to ask for a pulse for Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Dr. Liang knelt to empress dowager Zhuang's feet, put the medicine box on the ground, opened it, took out a piece of clean silk cloth and put it on the Empress Dowager's wrist, then gave the Empress Dowager a pulse through the silk cloth.

Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at him with a smile: "doctor Liang, what's the pulse of AI's family?"

"The Empress Dowager's pulse is steady. She seems to be more healthy than before," he said

The emperor frowned without any trace.

Empress Dowager Zhuang gently raised her lips: "the emperor is very disappointed?"

The emperor said hastily, "how can it be? The son has been looking forward to his mother's early recovery, peace and prosperity, and a long life. "

Empress Dowager Zhuang said with a sneer, "according to the emperor's auspicious words, the AI family will surely live a long life. The AI family also has to watch the Zhao state grow stronger and stronger, the people have plenty of food and clothing, and return a peaceful and prosperous world."

The emperor's hands buried under his wide sleeves were clenched into fists.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said with a smile, "the emperor's filial piety is known to his family. If there is no emperor, go and be busy. If his family is not here, the emperor must be very busy."

This is meaningful. What is the emperor doing? It is not known whether they are busy dealing with the government or cutting off the party members of the Empress Dowager.

"The emperor said:" the son left first, mother take care of the Phoenix body, son another day to visit mother

"No need." Empress Dowager Zhuang said.

The emperor was stunned.

The next second she heard empress dowager Zhuang say, "I'll see you tomorrow morning. Why do you have to go again?"

This means that we are going to listen to the government from behind the curtain.

The Emperor didn't know what mood he was going out of Renshou palace.

He asked Duke Wei to hold back his servants and asked doctor Liang: "is the pulse of the empress really OK?"

Liang Yuyi said: "yes, your majesty, the pulse condition of the Empress Dowager is better than before she left the palace. Her body is much stronger."

The emperor was suspicious and said, "how can you be strong after being exiled among the people for such a long time? What about her leprosy? "

Doctor Liang shook his head: "there is no leprosy."

The emperor frowned: "no leprosy means that she has recovered, or she has never had it?"

"This..." Dr. Liang didn't know how to judge. He diagnosed leprosy for Empress Dowager Zhuang at the beginning. He was sure that he didn't make a wrong diagnosis, but leprosy was incurable, but the Empress Dowager recovered as well as normal people——

Forget it. It's no use studying these deeply now. Empress dowager Zhuang has come back safe and sound.

The situation was even worse than the emperor had expected. In the past year or so when he thought that empress dowager Zhuang was away, the emperor had secretly cut off or accepted many of Empress Dowager Zhuang's party members. However, she returned to the Palace this morning, and the situation in the imperial city was reshuffled in the afternoon.

The emperor summoned several elders urgently, but half of them said they could not come because of illness, and most of those who came were just making eye contact with him.

They swore their allegiance to him the day before!

The emperor Longyan was very angry, but he couldn't really kill them. Then empress dowager Zhuang would come forward to save them, and they would be more loyal to empress dowager Zhuang.

The emperor was so angry that he summoned the old man to sacrifice wine.

The emperor sent people to summon him, and his servants would come to Bishui Hutong to inform him.

In fact, the emperor summoned him several times earlier. When the emperor was in power, he did not come. When the emperor was declining, he came.

Naturally, the emperor was deeply moved. He came out from behind his desk and held his hand: "I know that Ai Qing is the one I can really trust!"

He knew that the time he had been waiting for had finally come. When he returned to the court, he would get his Majesty's absolute trust and respect, but he was not happy.

Not only for himself, but also for LIULANG.

LIULANG became an official in the court, which meant that he had to be an enemy to the whole dealer. He could not let LIULANG go.

Can he still regard Zhuang Jinse as the former empress dowager?

The emperor said excitedly, "I hereby confer you the title of the emperor's eunuch. The imperial edict will be announced to the world tomorrow."

The old man knelt down, saluted deeply and said, "thank you for your kindness."

Duke Wei sent the old man out of the palace.

When passing by the Royal Garden, I met the Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's appetite is not good, and her mood is also a little irritable. She is still the same palace, but somehow, Empress Dowager Zhuang feels lonely.

Youyou deep palace, not lonely, but this time also brought a little lonely.

"Lady, would you like some more snacks? You eat too little for dinner. " A little maid holding a plate of delicate and delicious rose cake said.

Empress Dowager Zhuang has no appetite.

Old wine standing behind the flowers, looking at her.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang, who is dressed in Phoenix robe, has a fierce air, her eyes are like knives, and her silence is like a sword out of her body. No one dares to rob her.

Duke Wei stopped by the old wine, looked at the old wine and the empress dowager, and said in a low voice, "is Lord Huo going to see the Empress Dowager?"

The old man shook his head.

So what? She doesn't remember.

She won't rob him of his private money with a knife rest around his neck, or force him to go to the kitchen to make brown sugar Ciba for her, or hide half of the candied fruit into his room, or take him to serve tea and water when playing the leaf card.

"Let's go." The old man said wistfully.

Looking at the back of the old sacrificial wine, Duke Wei felt that both Lord Huo and the Empress Dowager were in a bit of depression?
