Chapter 67: Dark Fight (1)
Chapter 67 Secret Fight (Part 1)
"Gongsun Aiqing, come and tell me quickly." I said without losing my mind: "No matter how difficult it is to obtain it, I will definitely come. I must not let the unborn child disappear."
Gongsun Yu sighed lightly, thought for a moment, and replied: "In the deep mountains and ridges of Sichuan, I live in a wonderful marten, with golden all over, soft hair, and as big as a palm. This marten does not eat meat, but only likes to eat Ganoderma lucidum and wild ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum. What is even more difficult to understand is that this marten is not a spiritual herb that has been over a hundred years old, and is willing to starve to death. Therefore, the number of this marten is extremely rare and rare in a century, but it is an excellent medicinal material. If one can be caught and made into medicinal food and taken with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's fetus will be safe and sound."
"Golden Sable?" I pondered slightly: "Why have I never heard of this kind of play?"
"The emperor has never heard of it, it is no surprise." Gongsun Yu nodded slightly and said, "I am lucky to have one. However, after three generations of people searching for the golden sable every night, they did not see any trace of it. Therefore, the ancestors' medical science was abandoned, but they also ended up in a family. Fortunately, the grandfather of the minister was determined to revive the family and learn the medical books passed down by his ancestors. He even gave the ancestral teachings that no descendants of the Gongsun family should deliberately search for the golden sable."
These words made me feel cold again. Gongsun Yu's ancestors looked for the golden sable for three generations, but they found nothing. Could it be that I could find it in just a few months? However, even if the probability is low, I cannot give up easily and asked calmly: "Gongsun Aiqing, what are the restrictions on time?"
Gongsun Yu thought carefully and then said, "The best luck can be delayed until the child is born. If you are not lucky, you will have a fertility tomorrow. Of course, the chance of fertility is not high now. Weichen can also prescribe a prescription to help the Queen maintain her fertility. However, the longer the time, the more dangerous it is."
"Speak less nonsense." I glared at me: "Speak clearly, how long can you be sure to save the fetus?"
"Three months." Gongsun Yu immediately replied: "I did my best to be sure to protect the baby for three months, but I was not sure after that."
"Okay." I responded heavily and said in a low voice: "It's only three months. If there are any problems with the empress and the fetus in these three months, be careful that I'll ask for your head."
Gongsun Yu trembled all over and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I obey the order."
"Come here, hurry up and tell me the commander of the East Factory Li Linfu." I thought of the East Factory at the first time. The East Factory people were all elites selected from various departments. If they could not complete this task, I am afraid no one in the world could complete this task.
I took away the cold look on my face again, and rubbed the gentle and bad-looking Empress in her arms. She whispered and comforted: "Youhong doesn't need to be afraid. With me here, I will take on the big things for you. I am the true emperor. Nothing can hold on to me in this world."
The queen's face then calmed down a lot, leaning on my arms with a sweet heart and letting a soft grace.
"Your Majesty, the iced sour plum soup is here." Xiao Duozi directed two eunuchs from the imperial kitchen to put the sour plum soup on the table and serve a bowl for each person.
I took a bowl of sour plum soup and said softly: "Youhong, I'm here to feed you the sour plum soup."
"Emperor." Gongsun Yu immediately said to stop him, "The Empress cannot drink such cold things. She said to eat ice in summer. Although it is said to relieve the heat, the mother's body temperature suddenly drops and rises suddenly, which is not good for the fetus."
When I heard this, I knew that Gongsun Yu would not joke about his surname. He hurriedly put down the bowl and told Xiao Duozi, "Take away all the iced sour plum juice quickly."
"Your Majesty, I don't actually want to eat sour plum juice." Seeing my behavior, the Empress hurriedly said: "You and your two sisters should drink some of it yourself."
"No." I waved my hand again and said to Xiaoduozi: "Give me instructions. No one is allowed to eat iced sour plum juice this summer. Otherwise, I will be killed if I know."
Xiao Duozi was shocked and after taking his life, he hurriedly transported away the sour plum juice.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to do this." The queen's face was still a little pale, and she said lightly: "This makes my heart very uneasy."
"No. Queen, you are the most noble and glorious person in the world except me." I browed and said, "I just can't see you. You Hong, you will suffer. Those palace maids and eunuchs can enjoy sour plum juice."
Puchi. The queen chuckled and pointed at my nose and said, "I didn't expect that my emperor is still a childish temper. If I can't get it myself, no one else can imagine it. But when Shi Ling's arrival, even the two sisters will suffer."
"Sister." Lan'er and Xing'er hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sister actually doesn't want to eat sour plum soup."
"Yeah, that's how good you are." I laughed and said, "This is called sharing difficulties and sharing blessings." As I said, I helped the queen up again and whispered, "Youhong, are you tired, I will help you to rest in Kunning Palace. For these days, you can take care of your health and must listen to Dr. Gongsun..."
"I understand." In order not to make me more worried, the queen showed a bright smile and said, "Your Majesty, you are really, don't always treat Xiaohong as a child."
Hehe. I laughed awkwardly. I told some jokes along the way and sent her back to Kunning Palace. I stayed with her for a while, and then went to Nanshu after giving instructions. Lan'er and Xing'er stayed here to accompany the queen.
Li Linfu had already been waiting for me in the Nan Study Room. As soon as he saw me, he immediately saluted and said, "My minister, Li Linfu, have seen the emperor."
After so many days of training, Li Linfu is no longer a little eunuch who knows nothing. The training of various tasks has gradually made him a sharp blade. His temperament has become much more calm.
"Get up, what are the changes in the government and the country recently?" I asked slowly. Then I walked to the chair of the Grand Master. Xiaodaozi hurriedly asked someone to make the tea I like to drink. The two palace maids also took out palm-leaf fans and helped me fan the cool breeze.
"If you say back to the emperor, you don't notice any abnormal changes." Li Linfu replied.
In the past few months, the intelligence department established by the Dongchang has penetrated into every corner of the capital. Now, it is developing forces in other places. Moreover, after removing several typical corrupt officials in the Dongchang, everyone in the court was in danger. The colleagues were cautious in their words, for fear that the Dongchang's eyeliner would be discovered and spread to my ears.
Now the situation between Dawu and the surrounding countries is complicated and corrected. If it is infiltrated by those who are interested, it is not a good thing. Therefore, I asked the East Factory to supervise all the high officials and prevent them from having the opportunity to collude with the enemy. Instead of making up for the loss, it is better to prepare for the future.
"It's good that there is no abnormal movement. I will assign you a task now." I sipped a sip of the newly brewed tea. In the present season, it is the best time to drink tea. Today's tea is all new tea. It is very refreshing and natural to drink, and it condenses energy and produces salivation.
"Please give me the orders, and I will do my best to complete it." Li Linfu was upright, and a serious aura suddenly appeared between his eyebrows and eyes.
"Very good." I nodded and praised, then said the order to him, and then threw him a gold medal: "You hold this gold medal and order the local government to help you with all your strength. Everything can be done cheaply."
Li Linfu's face turned solemn. He didn't expect that I trusted him so much. He actually gave him the gold medal. Then he shouted decisively: "If the teacher cannot complete the task, he will definitely kill himself and apologize for his grace."
I opened my mouth slightly, then stopped persuading. I just said lightly: "Go."
Li Linfu bowed again and left calmly.
I breathed a sigh of relief and lay back on the Grand Master's chair.
"Your Majesty, I really envy my third son, no, Lord Li." Xiaoduozi sighed softly: "He can share the worries of the emperor, and be able to live and die for the emperor. It is worth walking in this world." Seeing that his former partner and now he has become the commander of the East Factory, Xiaoduozi was indeed very moved.
I looked at him and said calmly: "Everyone has his own destiny. I have many children, you don't have to complain. Stay by my side and you will have the chance to stand out sooner or later."
Xiao Duozi's face was shocked and hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "The emperor atones his sins, the emperor atones his sins. Xiao Duozi just sighed for a moment, and had no such intention. Xiao Duozi just wanted to serve the emperor wholeheartedly and see the holy face every day. This is the blessing that Xiao Duozi has cultivated for many lifetimes. If he wants to have extravagant hopes, wouldn't he be sent by heaven?"
"Mr. Tao from the Ministry of Rites, Lord. Liu from the Ministry of Revenue asked for a visit." The little eunuch outside the door shouted loudly.
I smiled and said to Xiao Duozi, "Look, these two guys, come and see me together. Is there any friction? You have followed me so many times and have seen a lot of things. Tell me, what's the matter with them this time?"
"I dare not guess the affairs of the court at will." Xiaodaozi's face was pale and she thought that my words were tempted by him, so she dared not speak.
"It's okay, I asked you to say it, just say it." I waved my hand and said it didn't matter.
"This." Xiaodaozi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I guessed that according to the official news from each station, it seems that the lords of the Eastern Turks and Goryeo are about to arrive in Beijing. However, Lord Tao and Lord Liu have been stalemate about whether the emperor will come out to welcome him. Except for some of the ministers in the court, the rest of the people were divided into two factions, each supporting Lord Tao and Lord Liu."
Yes. I said kindly, without comment: "Let them all come in."
"The emperor is grateful to Lord Tao, Lord Liu Jin." Xiao Duozi shouted in a voice.
