OBS Chapter 356: The Sickness
Chapter 356: The Sickness
Second day
Lin Junxue arranged for the concubines in the harem to take turns sleeping with her, and as the queen, she of course had to be ranked first.
After Lin Junxue had breakfast, she went to Ci'an Palace. As soon as she entered the palace, she smelled the scent of medicine in the air.
Lin Junxue walked in
"I pay my respects to my mother, the Queen Mother."
Nanny Wu helped the empress dowager up. Her face was pale and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes could no longer be hidden.
After all, she is a woman in her early fifties. Even if she was beautiful when she was young, she will no longer look the same after removing her makeup.
This is also one of the reasons why the Queen Mother hates Lin Junxue.
As a woman whose youth has passed, the Queen Mother was naturally extremely jealous of Lin Junxue when she looked at a face that was even more stunningly beautiful than when she was younger.
The Queen Mother is weak
"The Queen is here, please get up. Thank you for taking care of me these past few days."
Lin Junxue said, "It is my blessing to serve my mother. Aunt Wu, my mother's medicine can be used today. If it is useless, I will serve my mother to use the medicine."
Nanny Wu and the Queen Mother looked at each other
The Queen Mother made up her mind to torture Lin Junxue in the next few days by taking care of her illness.
Lin Junxue had also made preparations long ago.
She knew that if the Queen Mother didn't take this opportunity to make trouble for her, it would be against her nature.
Nanny Wu said, "The Queen has arrived at the right time. The imperial physician has just finished giving the Queen Mother an acupuncture injection. The Queen Mother thought the medicine was bitter and refused to take it because of a grudge."
Lin Junxue felt a chill in her heart when she heard what Nanny Wu said.
The Queen Mother is still upset because the medicine is bitter at her age.
This character?
how to say?
It's really hard to describe
Lin Junxue smiled slightly, walked forward, sat beside the bed, and took the medicinal food from the palace maid.
It's just acting, it's disgusting, who can't do that?
"Mother, your illness has caused the Emperor to be very concerned about you. He has been by my side every day, thinking about your health and worrying about you. Mother, come, let me feed you the medicine."
The Queen Mother looked kind
"Ah, it's my poor health that has caused the emperor to worry. Yesterday, did the emperor tell you that I wanted to invite a Buddhist to the palace to pray for blessings?"
Listening to the Queen Mother's temptation
Lin Junxue said, "The emperor did mention this to me. My mother wanted to invite the Buddhist disciples to the palace to pray for blessings. This is a good thing, and the emperor is naturally willing to do so."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she finally smiled with satisfaction and then opened her mouth to drink the medicinal food.
After Lin Junxue served the empress dowager her medicinal meal, she stayed in Ci'an Palace for the entire day to tend to her illness. She only returned to Zhonghe Palace in the evening.
After Lin Junxue left, the Queen Mother immediately stood up and Nanny Wu stepped forward.
"Empress Dowager, I have seen that the Empress is still as respectful to you as before, no matter how big or small the matter is. I think maybe we are overthinking it. The Empress has just changed her temperament after being confined to her house, but she has not doubted you in any way."
The Queen Mother snorted coldly
"I have put so much thought into the Queen. I have watched her grow up since she was a child. Who does she suspect? She will never suspect that I want to kill her. I must take back the power of the six palaces from the Queen."
Nanny Wu said, "Queen Dowager, don't worry. After the child enters the palace, as long as he acts according to the plan, the emperor will take back the power from the queen and return it to you."
As they were talking, Wang Chu walked in. When the Queen Mother saw Wang Chu, a knowing smile appeared on her face.
Nanny Wu frowned when she saw this, and then the Queen Mother left Wang Chu to serve her personally.
Nanny Wu walked to the door and heard the Queen Mother's laughter coming from inside, her face darkened.
Wang Chu is quite capable. It hasn't been long since he gained the Queen Mother's trust.
tonight
Xie Yuxie stayed in Zhonghe Palace and did not summon anyone to sleep with him.
Zhonghe Palace
After washing up, Lin Junxue changed into pajamas and sat in front of the bronze mirror.
Danzhen combed her hair.
Qiao Xin walked in.
"Your Majesty, today, the Emperor issued an imperial decree, announcing that the Buddhist disciple will enter the palace in ten days for a period of one year to pray for blessings."
Danzhen paused and looked at Qiaoxin.
When a Buddhist disciple enters the palace, he will inevitably meet the Empress.
They all knew what the Buddha felt for the Empress.
Furthermore, it is impossible that the Queen Mother suddenly allowed the Buddhist disciple into the palace just to pray for blessings. I am afraid there must be some conspiracy waiting for her.
Lin Junxue looked at the two people with worried expressions and comforted them softly.
"I know you two are worried, but we have to deal with it. Since the emperor has given the order, it is a foregone conclusion that the Buddha will enter the palace. There is no need to worry too much."
Danzhen asked, "My queen, do you think it is possible that the queen mother knew something?"
Lin Junxue paused, stood up, walked to the couch and sat down
"No, if the Queen Mother really suspected that I had a relationship with the Buddha, she would definitely not have such an attitude."
Lin Junxue guessed in her heart that the Queen Mother might want to use Zhuxi to cause trouble?
As for what it is? For the time being, she can't guess it?
Things will work out when the time comes. She just needs to wait for the Queen Mother to make a move.
In the next few days, Lin Junxue went to Ci'an Palace to take care of the patient.
The Queen Mother said in a nice way that she was only used to being served by Lin Junxue.
Shenguang Palace
Chen Mi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "You said that today, the Queen Mother asked the Queen to take care of her illness?"
Hua Ling is somewhat gloating
"Yes, these past few days, the Queen Mother has asked the Queen to take care of her. I saw from a distance that the Queen has lost a lot of weight. The Queen Mother must have tortured the Queen a lot."
Chen Mi looked at the happy Hua Ling and said coldly
"The Queen Mother has been waiting on the Queen these past few days under the pretext of attending to her illness. Do you really think this is something worth gloating over?"
Hua Ling paused, puzzled and asked, "Madam, what do you mean by this?"
"On the surface, it seems that the Queen Mother is using the matter of tending to the sick to trouble the Queen, but you don't see the Queen's forbearance and patience. With the Queen's current favor, as long as she says a word to the Emperor, even if she is the Queen Mother, she probably won't have to go to Ci'an Palace to serve every day. But the Queen has never complained and has gone to Ci'an Palace to serve every day, rain or shine. This kind of mentality, this kind of enemy is the most terrifying."
Hua Ling: "Your Majesty, the Queen is here to serve the Queen Mother. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you have to endure it."
Chen Mi paused
"Hold it? The Queen is not a person who will hold it in. Wasn't it enough for you to understand during the southern tour? With just a few words, the Queen easily made the Emperor ignore me. Over the years, the Emperor has never treated me as coldly as he has in recent days. This is the Queen's real ability. Now, the Queen will definitely fight back against the Queen Mother's move. Just wait and see."
If she didn't have the Chen Guo Mansion and her family behind her, she would never choose to confront such a terrible enemy like the Queen in her life.
She couldn't even see her chance of winning, but she had no way out.
This is the greatest sorrow in life. The moment a daughter of a noble family enters the palace, she no longer has the ability to choose her own destiny.
three days later
Lin Junxue looked in the mirror and saw her face was obviously thinner.
Very good, after these few days of hard work, she has lost at least 5 kilograms and her complexion looks not good.
The time has come!
