A goddess doctor came to Kaifeng

Chapter 23

Is there a cure for the disease? "

The Empress Dowager nodded and said: "Luckily, there is a female doctor in Kaifeng Mansion who skillfully rejuvenated, and she has not committed any more crimes recently. Coincidentally, she is in the palace today, why don't the Emperor give her a reward?"

When Renzong heard about it, he also wanted to meet the legendary female doctor, so he said, "Xuan."

The great eunuch Xuan Cheng Yuelan has an audience.

Cheng Yuelan had been prepared for a long time, walked into the hall from the outside in a leisurely manner, and saluted, "Ms. Cheng, pay homage to the emperor." Her voice was neither high nor low, mellow and melodious.

The emperor saw that although she was young, she had a pure demeanor, and she seemed like an expert.The seat was given free of charge and asked about the Empress Dowager's pathology, Cheng Yuelan naturally answered fluently.

Seeing her calm demeanor, Renzong liked her a little more, and on the spur of the moment, he said: "You have made meritorious service to the queen mother, and you should be rewarded with good land and property. But I see that you are not a worldly person, and you have no interest in things outside your body. Why don't you tell me what reward you want."

The emperor said that, under normal circumstances, he should be humble, and then mention something transcendent, so as to show his high moral character and win the favor of the emperor.

But Cheng Yuelan came here for something, so she couldn't care less about reason.She knelt down on the ground and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. The women don't ask for anything else, but only wish to be the witness of Zhan Zhaozhan's guards, and return his innocence."

Renzong was taken aback for a moment, and then heard her continue, "When I found Brother Zhan that day, he was already seriously poisoned. Fortunately, I arrived in time and rescued him. While detoxifying him, I met him again. The man in black attempted to assassinate and escaped after fighting several times. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Big Brother Zhan to be the one who killed more than a dozen people in the Escort, please learn from me."

"What evidence do you have for what you said?" Renzong didn't doubt that Zhan Zhao killed someone, but there were witnesses from Grand Master Pang. If Cheng Yuelan could provide more evidence, it would be more conducive to clearing Zhan Zhao's suspicion. ask.

Cheng Yuelan raised her head and replied: "I went to Cuiyan Forest together with a few guards from Kaifeng Mansion. Many local residents have seen it on the way, and these people can testify. We found Big Brother Zhan that day, and not long after we met Until the assassination, I was hit by a hidden weapon and injured my shoulder, and I have not recovered yet."

As she said that, she took out a plain bag from her bosom, turned her backhand, and a square-shaped dart fell into her palm.

Renzong's eyes signaled the eunuch next to him to put it away, and before he could speak, Cheng Yuelan said again: "Dare to ask the guard brother to borrow the saber."

The guard looked at the emperor, and after receiving permission, he handed her the saber.

Cheng Yuelan pulled out the sharp blade, and slashed precisely and quickly on her right shoulder.

Renzong raised his eyebrows, and saw her tear off the clothes on her shoulders, revealing a section of her arms and shoulders.Near the arm socket, the skin is damaged, and the fresh meat is turned out, it has not grown well, it is clearly a new injury.The wound was red and black, matching the red birthmark next to it, adding a bit of shock.

"what--"

Empress Dowager Liu on the side seemed frightened by the wound, screamed, and stood up suddenly, her hands supporting the edge of the table trembling violently.

Renzong looked at an older guard behind him. The guard immediately understood and took a few steps forward, just blocking Empress Dowager Liu's view.

"I already know about this matter. You can take care of the queen mother in the palace with peace of mind. I will return him to the guards. Your reward is still counted. You can tell the queen mother directly if you want anything."

After Renzong finished speaking, he drove back to the palace, and the whole group paid their respects without mentioning it.

Besides, since that day, Empress Dowager Liu's attitude towards Cheng Yuelan is very unusual.Although it was gentle before, but after all, it is more merciful from above.Now it is caring from the bottom of my heart, but it makes Cheng Yuelan feel very uncomfortable.

Empress Dowager Liu is always willing to ask her about things before she came to Kaifeng Mansion. Cheng Yuelan came here halfway, how could she know this?Every time I have to make up some similar words to cope.

After lunch that day, the Empress Dowager took her to chat again.

"Speaking of which, where did you live before you came to Kaifeng?"

When Cheng Yuelan was asked this last time, she just fooled it. She didn't expect that Empress Dowager Liu would bring it up again, so she just answered casually: "The daughter of the people used to live in Jinzhou."

"Golden State?" Empress Dowager Liu frowned, and asked again, "What about your family?"

"My parents died early, and I am the only one left." Cheng Yuelan was afraid that Empress Dowager Liu would have to investigate further, so she had to find the simplest answer.

Empress Dowager Liu looked at her strangely, as if she didn't believe it, but also seemed to pity her.

She stared at Cheng Yuelan for a long time, and when Cheng Yuelan was about to resign, she asked again: "What wish do you have?"

Cheng Yuelan was stunned, not knowing what she meant, so she replied in a righteous way: "If you want to talk about the wish of a commoner girl, it probably means that Master Bao and Zhan's guards will be cleared of their suspicions as soon as possible, and Kaifeng Mansion will return to normal."

"In the future, don't call yourself a civilian girl," Empress Dowager Liu said suddenly.

Cheng Yuelan glanced at the queen mother in surprise, only to see her eyes staring at herself deeply.She didn't know what the queen mother meant for a while, and said earnestly: "The daughter of the people was in an accident before she came to Kaifeng. It was Zhan's guards who rescued me in danger. Afterwards, it was Mr. Gongsun who treated me carefully and Mr. Bao kindly took me in, so that I survived. In my life, my parents died early and I have no relatives. I only regard Kaifeng Mansion as my home. Recently, Kaifeng Mansion has been framed, and Mr. Bao and Mr. Zhan have been imprisoned. I don’t know what will happen to them. Can be cleared."

Empress Dowager Liu stared at her, put her hand on her forehead, and sighed deeply, "Okay, I know what you want in your heart, it's just a Kaifeng mansion and a Zhan guard." She reached out her hand to stop Cheng Yuelan from explaining, and continued, " Don't worry, this wish will come true. Now go back to your room to rest and see how thin you have become in the past two days. "

Seeing what the queen mother said, Cheng Yuelan had no choice but to leave first.

He never thought that within a few days, the Holy Majesty would see Cheng Yuelan in court.

First, there was an imperial decree, proclaiming her meritorious service in curing the Empress Dowager, she won the favor of the Empress Dowager, she was specially named "Princess Qinglan Princess", and she was given a house with fertile land, not to mention.

Cheng Yuelan didn't expect this kind of development, while receiving the order to thank her, she secretly thought about the reason.

It has been a while since he treated the Empress Dowager's heart disease, why did he get this reward today.Furthermore, there was indeed some strangeness in the words of Empress Dowager Liu's conversation with her yesterday.After thinking about it, the only change is that the last time when Sheng Shang went to the Empress Dowager's palace, after she made a face-to-face confession, Empress Liu treated her differently from before.

Cheng Yuelan took the order to resign, passing by Grand Master Pang, confused by his meaningful eyes.

There was something wrong, she was finally convinced at this moment.

Cheng Yuelan carefully recalled all the previous incidents. Empress Dowager Liu has always been arrogant and self-reliant. The only time she lost her composure in her memory was when she tore her clothes to reveal her shoulder injury last time when she was expressing her love to the Lord.The Empress Dowager seemed shocked at the time, and since then she has become much more friendly to her.

She was shocked, and an unimaginable guess came to her mind——

Could it be that his body is the daughter of Empress Dowager Liu?

The more Cheng Yuelan thought about it, the more likely it was.After she woke up, she was in the Valley of the Poison King, and she hadn't heard of anyone looking for her for several years.After arriving at Kaifeng Mansion, although Mr. Bao issued a notice, no one came to look for him.From the first time she saw Empress Dowager Liu, she felt a familiar feeling, presumably it was due to the affection of mother and daughter.The orchid birthmark on her shoulder must be the reason why the queen mother recognized her.The look in Taishi Pang's eyes just now, in retrospect, was a kind of surprise and warning to her - I didn't expect that she was still alive, and warned her not to act rashly.

Cheng Yuelan only felt her heart beating like thunder, the hairs on her back stood up, and she didn't know where to go next.She felt that she couldn't face Queen Mother Liu, after knowing these things.

I don't know how long it took, the maid of honor in Empress Dowager Liu's palace came to look for her, bowed to the princess, said that the empress dowager was waiting, and invited her to come over.

Cheng Yuelan followed her to the Empress Dowager's side hall first and changed into the princess's ceremonial uniform before going to see the Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager Liu was very happy to see her dressed like this.It was the first time Cheng Yuelan saw her smile from the heart, and she sighed inwardly.

"Although you are usually cold and indifferent, that plain shirt suits your temperament." Empress Dowager Liu was in a good mood, commenting on her clothes, "but this dress is more suitable for you, it looks exquisite and lovely."

"No, I see that the princesses in the palace don't have the bearing of Princess Qinglan." The surrounding maids were very happy to see the Queen Mother, and they also praised her.

Cheng Yuelan was entangled in her heart, thinking of the method used by Empress Dowager Liu in exchange for the prince, it was really difficult to connect with the gentle empress in front of her.

When Empress Dowager Liu saw her bowed her head and remained silent, she thought she was thin-faced, and seeing her receive this honor without arrogance or impetuosity, she liked her even more.

"You don't need to be ashamed, there will be a happy event in two days, and then you will have time to be ashamed."

Cheng Yuelan was taken aback, raised her head, her eyes were wide open, and just about to open her mouth, she heard the queen mother say: "I have done many wrong things in my life, and I have suffered from heart disease and nightmares for many years. Thanks to you, my The illness has recovered a lot. Now I just hope that there is a caring person by my side, who can come to the palace to drink tea and play chess with me, would you like it?"

The Case of Concubine Li Returning to the Throne in Kaifeng Mansion

Cheng Yuelan didn't know how to answer Empress Dowager Liu's words.

If you want to say yes, there is still a Empress Dowager Li living in Kaifeng Mansion. She has been lonely all her life and has suffered all kinds of setbacks, all thanks to the gift of Empress Dowager Liu back then.

If you don't want to say it, firstly, it's really unflattering to say this, and I'm afraid that Empress Dowager Liu will be overwhelmed; secondly, since the two met, this Empress Dowager Liu has really taken care of her, and she really can't say no.

While hesitating, Empress Dowager Liu
