Having said this, the eunuch still dared to stop the emperor.
In the greenhouse, a bright figure appeared, and the nanny next to her hurriedly said, "Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, just looked at them, and then closed her eyes again.
"The prince is here."
"Mother." The emperor looked at his mother on the bed with a slightly worried look. His face had been getting worse and worse in recent days. It was originally just a minor illness such as a headache, but now it has reached the point where even the imperial doctor is helpless.
"Mother, you are like this, I am very worried."
The Queen Mother was nearly sixty years old and already had a full head of hair. Even though she was sick, her eyes were still full of energy.
She stood up from the couch lazily, looked at the emperor with a smile, and shook her head gently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's normal for the queen to be sick as she is old. After all, her body is no longer as good as when she was young."
"Why did the Queen Mother say this?" The Emperor frowned slightly and ordered Eunuch Li, "Call me to come in."
The Queen Mother was slightly startled when she heard this.
"What the emperor means is..."
"Mother, my Celestial Master has been observing the sky at night recently, and something unusual has emerged. The emperor is afraid that the mother will not believe it if he tells it, so he specially called the Celestial Master to come over. This may be related to the mother's illness."
The emperor said it with sincerity. The queen mother did not believe such ridiculous things at first, but this time the illness came really suddenly.
Since you've already invited him over, why not come in and listen to what he has to say.
After all, I didn't hear anything new when I was sick, so I just regarded it as a way to relieve my boredom.
Soon, Eunuch Li brought Jiwu into the door, and the Queen Mother looked at him carefully. This legendary heavenly master looked dignified, dressed like a Taoist, and held a whisk in his hand.
He seemed to be a well-behaved person at first glance, but the Queen Mother always felt that there seemed to be a cold air in those eyes.
She has lived for most of her life and has met a lot of people, and her eye for recognizing people has become vicious.
I have told the emperor a long time ago that it is better not to set up such errands as those of Qin Tianjian. Any slight change will cause panic in the court.
But this kind of panic is so unfounded that it makes people fearful.
Jiwu entered the door and bowed directly.
"I will pay my respects to the Emperor and the Queen Mother."
The emperor nodded slightly, "Get up first. I called you here today because I want you to talk to the Queen Mother about recent events."
"Yes." Jiwu lowered his head and happened to miss the Queen Mother's sharp eyes. With the Emperor sitting in charge, he simply said something.
"In recent days, I have been observing the sky at night. There is a Ziwei star rising slowly, and it is gradually approaching the Emperor Star. This Ziwei star is in the southwest. I have calculated that there are not many princes and grandsons of aristocratic families in the southwest. I thought, but in recent days, there have been a few small stars next to the Ziwei star, and there is quite a phenomenon of stars holding the moon. Wei Chen did some calculations and found that this Ziwei star refers to the legitimate daughter, Lu Wan, who was brought back from the General's Mansion. string together."
The Queen Mother heard this and sneered, "You said it yourself, there are many princely families in the southwest, how come she is the legitimate daughter of that general's mansion?"
"I bet you, Ziwei Star did not emit such a strong light before. It was only after the Lu family took back Lu Wanwan that it became so dazzling."
The Queen Mother frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped by the Emperor.
"Mother, why don't you listen to what Heavenly Master Ji Wu has to say. You can't believe everything like this, and you can't disbelieve it either."
The Queen Mother thought about it for a while, and judging from her experience in the past years, this is indeed the case.
Ji Wu continued: "Mother Queen Mother, although this Ziwei star is strong, it is not at its strongest yet. If this Lu Wanwan can be brought into the palace in the near future, we can also have a certain outcome. Maybe The Queen Mother’s condition…”
"absurd!"
The Queen Mother scolded angrily.
"When did the Ai family's condition deteriorate to the point where a woman is needed to treat her? Is this woman a miracle doctor? Master Ji, do you think all the imperial doctors in the palace are just decorations?"
Jiwu hurriedly knelt down and lowered his body, "Queen Mother, I don't dare to do this. I'll tell you what I said if I saw it. If there is anything inappropriate, please punish me!"
When the emperor saw this, he hurriedly made peace: "Mother, why are you doing this? It's not good for your health to be so angry. I have already issued an order to ask the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion to come to the palace tomorrow morning to see the saint. Mother, people often say that when you are ill, you go to the doctor indiscriminately. I feel uncomfortable when you are tortured by the hospital bed like this, so I thought of this way, and I ask my mother to be considerate of my son's filial piety."
Know with reason and move with emotion. The Queen Mother is too old to hear such touching words.
After thinking about it, it's not a big deal. If this Jiwu dares to make random remarks and undermine the imperial court, she will definitely not be able to keep him.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother waved her hand, "Well, since the emperor has made the decision, it is useless for the Ai family to say anything now. However, I am also very curious about Lu Wanwan. I really want to see her when she enters the palace tomorrow. After a quick look, I heard that this girl has caused trouble in the whole capital recently."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she glanced at Ji Wu.
The implication of these words is that the Ai family is just old and has not reached the point of waste. Whether inside or outside the palace, she is very well-informed.
If I don't beat him, I'm afraid this sacrifice will reach heaven!
Ji Wu understood this and hurriedly flattered her: "The Queen Mother has a kind heart, which is a blessing. What the official said is just a way to seek medical treatment in case of emergency. Please forgive me."
The Empress Dowager didn't care so much. She lay back on the bed and said, "The energy of the Ai family is getting worse and worse. That's all. It's up to you to do whatever you want. The Ai family is exhausted. No one else can get out of here."
Eunuch Li is a great person. After hearing this, before anyone in the Queen Mother's palace could react, he had already arrived in front of me and made an invitation gesture.
"Sacrifice to my Heavenly Master, please."
The man stood up quickly, bowed and exited.
After leaving the door, Jiwu walked out of the palace without looking back, clenching his fists tightly and his eyes filled with resentment.
This old lady, the Queen Mother, really thinks of herself as a daughter of a wealthy family!
If only then...
Jiwu thought, there are no what-ifs, but no one can predict what will happen in the future.
After they left, the Queen Mother said to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I have heard Gong Jin mention this Lu Wanwan before. She is an extraordinary woman. Do you really want to doubt her?"
The emperor said: "Mother, in this position, many people have to guard against me."
"But she is just a woman."
"Mother, the Wu family of the Tang Dynasty was once just a woman."
The Queen Mother was silent.
After a while, he said with emotion: "Your Majesty has grown up, and dealing with government affairs over the years has tempered your character even harder. The Ai family doesn't want to say more, but in the opinion of the Ai family, this is the emperor who sacrifices to my heavenly master. He is the one who must be guarded against.”
