70. Is there another hidden reason for the Queen Mother's illness?(1/2)
After hearing Li Jian's words, Lian Po and Lin Xiangru spoke almost at the same time.
"What disease?"
"How do you know?"
Li Jian shrugged.
"I don't know what kind of disease, but I know that the Queen Mother is indeed sick."
Lin Xiangru couldn't help but say:
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
Li Jian spread his hands:
"I didn't have a chance before, Lin Qing."
Lian Po couldn't help but complain:
"Lin Xiangru, are you so confused? There is no evidence for such a thing, who dares to gossip?"
Lin Xiangru was immediately embarrassed when he heard this:
"It's my fault. General, Doctor Li, let's go to the palace now."
Li Jian was stunned for a moment:
"I want to enter the palace, too?"
Lian Po smiled and patted Li Jian on the shoulder:
"Young people are inexperienced, are you the king's chief guard. If you are not here at this time, who will defend the king?"
Li Jian originally wanted to say goodbye to Lin Rou, but was forced to get on the carriage by Lin Xiangru and Lian Po.
"It's only a few minutes!" Li Jian was obviously a little unhappy.
Lian Po knocked on Li Jian:
"Silly boy, stay as long as you want when you marry him home. Now focus on your business!"
Li Jian sighed and stopped talking.
Lin Xiangru looked at Li Jian and suddenly said:
"Doctor Li doesn't seem to be very surprised by this?"
Li Jian nodded:
"Yes."
Lian Po looked at Li Jian curiously:
"You are a person around the king, so it is normal to learn some information. Do you know where the Queen Mother's illness has developed?"
Li Jiandao:
"I dare not speak out about the condition of my illness, but from what I have personally observed, within this year... the king is very likely to be in charge of power."
Lin Xiangru and Lian Po fell into silence at the same time.
After a moment, Lin Xiangru said slowly:
"Is it possible? Tonight..."
Li Jian understood and immediately replied:
“It’s indeed possible.”
The atmosphere in the carriage seemed to be solidifying more and more.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Xiangru sighed leisurely.
"It's still too fast..."
The three people in the carriage had their own thoughts and had nothing to say until the palace.
Lin Xiangru and Lian Po were both in high positions and powerful positions, so they were able to enter the palace first.
Immediately afterwards, the carriages of other important officials of Zhao State arrived one after another and entered the palace one after another.
Li Jian waited for a long time before he was allowed to enter the palace for about half an hour.
The doctor general Le Cheng who came to the palace with Li Jian was also the doctor general who rushed over, as well as the two doctors, Lou Chang and Zhao Ding, the chief ministers of the guards.
The four of them walked in a hurry and came all the way to the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Here, all the important figures of Zhao State have gathered.
The four of them dared not be negligent and went forward to salute King Zhao.
At this moment, King Zhao's face was extremely uneasy, but he responded casually, and then stared at the closed bedroom in a daze.
Everyone was extremely quiet and the atmosphere was almost stagnant.
Li Jian stood beside King Zhao with his hands down and began to think about the situation in his heart.
At this time of his previous life, Li Jian was already far away in Gaoquesai, so he didn't know how the empress dowager died.
Li Jian only remembered that there was a vague rumor that the empress dowager was sick, and then there was news that the empress dowager died.
Although the death of the empress dowager in her previous life was at the end of the year, Li Jian's life trajectory in this life was completely different from that in her previous life. It is possible that the empress dowager died early due to the butterfly effect.
The death of the Empress Dowager was not good news for Zhao State.
In terms of the international situation, the Queen Mother's death left Zhao with one ally Qi.
As the princess of Qi, the empress dowager was the strongest bond in the Zhao-Qi alliance.
She was gone, and the covenant was gone.
In addition, the impact of the death of the Empress Dowager on Zhao's domestic situation cannot be underestimated.
King Huiwen of Zhao had just died a few months ago. If the regent queen mother also left, the Zhao State would have lost two kings within a year.
Such continuous changes of the supreme ruler in a short period of time will inevitably cause huge turmoil within the country.
This was the Warring States Period when the seven heroes were united together. The other six countries, especially Qin, would not watch Zhao pass through the transition period of the throne so smoothly!
But from Li Jian’s personal perspective, he welcomed this situation.
Once the emperor was in charge, the Empress Dowager promoted a group of new officials such as Tian Dan, and when the King of Zhao took power, he would definitely promote another group of new officials.
Li Jian tried every means to join the Doctor's Guards, and it was this moment.
What's more, the empress dowager was not friendly to Li Jian.
If she really dies, even though Li Jian can't say he's clapping, at least the pressure will be reduced sharply.
The gate of the palace suddenly opened and an old man with a tired expression walked out.
Li Jian recognized the identity of this old man, Zhao Guodao, and is said to be a disciple of Bian Que's lineage.
King Zhao and others surrounded the doctor.
"How is the mother's situation?"
The doctor was saluting King Zhao.
"When you go back to the king, the queen mother has woken up now, but she is weak and needs to rest for a while before she can be visited."
There was a long breath, and it was difficult to tell who was relieved and who was disappointed and sighed.
The doctor was looking at King Zhao, with a clear expression of hesitation, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
King Zhao immediately said:
"There are all the ministers here, just say whatever you have!"
The doctor made up his mind and said softly to King Zhao.
Li Jian, Le Cheng and the other two generals did not hear this because of distance. Only King Zhao and the ministers of Zhao who were surrounded by the Great Doctor.
The next second, Li Jian clearly heard the screams from the ministers.
"How could it be?"
"This is impossible!"
King Zhao's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but grab the collar of the doctor:
"This matter is serious? Don't fool me!"
The doctor is grieving:
"King, even if the old minister has ten heads, he would not dare to deceive the king in such matters."
King Zhao's face changed, he let go of the hand that grabbed the doctor's official and whispered to discuss with other Zhao ministers.
Li Jian began to feel confused when he looked at this scene.
Could it be that the Queen Mother's illness...is there any other hidden information?
Li Jian actually wanted to go up and listen, but he knew better in his heart that he would never go up and listen at this time.
To be continued...
