"Whether it works or not, we will know later." The queen looked at him and said approvingly: "It is a good thing to be cautious. Some things would rather not be done right now and wait a little longer than take risks."
"Yes, I have written it down."
The queen looked at Xiao Chenzi, who was only half a child in front of her: "Thanks to you these days, you have helped me a lot."
"Your Majesty has killed this slave." Xiao Chenzi's eyes were sincere: "My Majesty saved my slave's life in the first place. It is my honor to be able to do something for you."
He entered the palace at the age of five, and almost lost his life when he was seven, but was fortunately saved by the Queen.
Over the years, he tried his best to do everything well without being too pushy. After careful planning, he finally had the opportunity to work in the Yangxin Palace and repay his empress.
The queen looked at the little eunuch in front of her, who was only a half-grown child, and suddenly asked with some curiosity: "Xiao Chenzi, do you know what I want to do?"
In this palace, it is not that there are no spy agents installed by her Wu family for many years. When Xiao Chenzi entered the Yangxin Palace, her original intention was just to be an ordinary spy, but this child was more thoughtful than she imagined.
.
"I don't know..." Xiao Chenzi shook his head, but his eyes were bright: "But I know that what I want to do must be something extraordinary!"
Something amazing?
After the queen was startled, she couldn't help but smile.
She has never been a great person.
As a person with little ability, just try your best.
"It's getting late, go back, don't raise any suspicion." The queen confessed again: "Remember my words, self-preservation is the first priority in everything."
"Yes, my dear, don't worry."
Xiao Chenzi bowed and saluted, and left here in a familiar way.
The queen walked slowly in the garden, thinking about Xiao Chenzi's words in her heart.
…
Three days later, news came from the East Palace that the prince had a high fever last night.
As the Lord of the Sixth Palace, after the Queen heard about this, she went to the East Palace to visit.
"I have something to say to my mother alone." The prince said to the eunuch who was guarding the bed: "You go and guard outside."
The internal warden responded and left.
"Do you feel better?" the queen asked first.
"After taking the medicine, I feel much better." The prince's face was weak, but his tone seemed to be very relaxed. It was just a fever, which was never a symptom worthy of concern to him.
However, the queen felt that she needed to ask a few more questions: "How can a good person get a fever? After these days of nursing, isn't it already showing signs of improvement?"
Ever since I started using Miss Xu’s recipe, which she adjusted several times, I don’t think I’ll be cured, but at least there seems to be no sign of getting worse.
"Maybe it's because I caught a cold last night..." The prince's eyes averted for a moment, and he quickly changed the subject: "My son has something that he wants to tell his wife."
"What's going on?" The queen looked helplessly at the yellow-faced child in front of her. Could this child deliberately catch a cold just to have a reason to see her?
"Have you heard that there was an imperial doctor named Qiao Bingying in the imperial hospital in the early years?" the prince asked in a low voice.
Joe Bing?
The queen thought for a while and shook her head slightly: "It seems that she has no impression..."
But I seem to have seen this name somewhere...
The queen didn't have time to think deeply, so she heard the prince continue: "It is said that the former imperial doctor was very skilled in medicine. He was only thirty years old when he passed away eighteen years ago. It is a pity."
Eighteen years ago?
When the queen heard these four words, her heart tightened.
One day eighteen years ago, her sister disappeared from this world forever.
"Why...are you talking about this person suddenly?" the queen looked at the prince and asked.
"A few days ago, when my father was ill, I went to the Yangxin Hall to visit him. When I left, my father was suffering from a worsening headache. In his daze, he told Li Ji to ask someone to come and take his pulse.
Shi Erchen vaguely heard the name of a person named Qiao..."
The prince explained what had happened: "My son was thinking that there seemed to be no imperial doctor named Qiao in the Imperial Medical Office. Out of curiosity, he turned around and quietly inquired about it. As a result, he found out that the imperial doctor Qiao was no longer alive... and
After hearing the full name of Dr. Qiao, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was the name my father mentioned at that time."
The Queen was quite surprised to hear this.
It couldn't be that the emperor was dying soon and started seeing ghosts?
Although this imagination is very beautiful, since the emperor seems to be able to hold on, he can only think about it for now.
But why would the emperor mention a person who is no longer alive?
And if it was only a year or two ago, it would make sense to say the wrong name in a moment of confusion, but eighteen years ago...
After such a long time, the emperor could still remember the name of a mere imperial physician, and even this itself was already strange.
wrong--
The queen's eyes changed momentarily.
According to this, the emperor actually asked Li Ji to invite someone to see him that day?
But Xiao Chenzi clearly said that no imperial doctor came after that!
Thinking of the strange box in Xiao Chenzi's mouth, the queen couldn't help but feel that there seemed to be some connection between it...
"Why did Your Highness specifically mention this matter to me?" The Queen temporarily suppressed her thoughts and asked the Prince.
"My son just feels a little weird..." The prince did not hide his true thoughts and smiled shyly: "My son is stupid and often looks at things in a confused way... Same thing, I thought.
It doesn't make sense, but if it reaches the ears of a smart person like my empress, maybe he can come up with something useful."
Especially after borrowing the hand of the empress to send a message to the Duke of Zhenguo last time, he increasingly felt that the empress was the only trustworthy person in the palace.
What's more important is...
He felt that he didn't have long to live.
Maybe he will leave suddenly someday.
Therefore, I don’t want to keep anything potentially useful in my mind. If I don’t have time to say it by then, wouldn’t it be too much of a hindrance?
Faintly aware of the boy's thoughts, the queen's heart twitched slightly when she saw those clear eyes.
Such a good child, but...
"Although I don't know much, I can see that my father has done many things wrong..." The prince looked ashamed and whispered: "If I can do something to prevent my father from continuing to make mistakes, please
Your Majesty must speak, I... also want my father to look back as soon as possible."
Turn back as soon as possible...
The Queen sighed in her heart.
There is no way to get it back this time, it can only be twisted or cut off.
But such cruel words should not be said to children.
As for what he said about "what if I can do something", the Queen said softly: "The only thing Your Highness has to do now is to take good care of yourself."
If she was asked to use such a child to achieve anything, she couldn't do it.
Besides, she is a novice herself, and dragging a sickly child into the water would not be good for both parties.
In order to prevent the palace people from becoming suspicious, the two did not talk for a long time.
It wasn't until after leaving the East Palace that the queen thought about that name again.
Joe Bing...
Joe Bing...
After a moment, the color of her thoughtful eyes suddenly changed.
