After the imperial doctor left, Bai Zhi was about to grab the medicine with the medicine list, but was stopped by Lu Zhiyun.
"Take my wooden sign and go to the Lu family's shop and ask them to find a doctor for me."
"Mother, Imperial Physician Li has been diagnosing your pulse before. Do you think there will be any problem with him?"
Ding Xiang said from the side: "You will do whatever your Majesty says. Why are there so many problems? The past was before and the present is now. It is always right to be careful."
"That makes sense." Shangguan Mingxia said, "Before Chengjin was in the capital, no one dared to do anything to you. Now that you have sole power, the heavy burden of Feng Linguo rests on your shoulders. You can't be negligent in the slightest."
"It's just that the Lu family's shops are all for business. Can they find a suitable doctor? After all, the doctors outside are not as skilled as the imperial doctors." King Wu'an asked.
"Father and mother should have heard of Yaowang Valley." Lu Zhiyun said, "For my safety, my mother arranges for a doctor from Yaowang Valley to be on call at the Feng Linguo branch every year. If I need it, he will be there at any time.
You can ask them to come into the palace and wait for you."
"That's a good thing. The doctor from Yaowang Valley must be trustworthy." Shangguan Mingxia said, "Hurry up and summon him to the store."
Bai Zhi went to the Lu family branch and brought a girl into the palace not long after.
The girl checked Lu Zhiyun's pulse, frowned and said, "There is something wrong with your body."
"Isn't it physical weakness caused by overwork?" Shangguan Mingxia asked.
"No, there are other questions." Ming Ziyan said, "Can you show me the latest meal list?"
"Slave, I will go to the imperial kitchen immediately to get the order."
Ding Xiang came back with the meal list.
Ming Ziyan looked at it and said, "No problem."
"Give me the list." Lu Zhiyun said.
Ding Xiang handed the meal list to Lu Zhiyun again.
Lu Zhiyun looked at it and said, "This list has been modified. Dingxiang, ask the chef in the imperial dining room to hand over the real meal list."
"How did the empress see it?" Bai Zhi asked.
"I don't have to remember before, but I remember clearly what I ate and didn't eat in the past three days. There are at least three items missing from the daily dishes on this list. If you say there is no problem, then what does it mean?
question?"
"Slave, please investigate immediately."
"If they don't confess honestly, they will be punished as assassins." Lu Zhiyun said calmly, "This palace has been peaceful for too long. Perhaps only blood can awaken their reason."
Shangguan Mingxia and King Wu'an: "..."
I almost treat my wife here as a little white rabbit.
For so many years, she has followed her mother all over the world and even experienced battlefields. How can her thoughts be understood by ordinary people?
"Have you heard? Something happened in the palace."
"What's going on?"
"Someone wanted to murder the Empress, but the Empress discovered it. The two chefs in the imperial kitchen were sentenced to death, and several other palace servants who served the dishes were imprisoned."
"Who is so bold? The imperial dining room controls the mouths of the nobles. As the saying goes, disease comes from the mouth and disaster comes out of the mouth. The person who can bribe the imperial dining room must not be an ordinary person. What does that person want to do?"
"What else can I do? The emperor is not here, and there is only one woman left in the palace. I am trying to pinch the soft persimmon! Who knew that this persimmon is not soft at all, and it will uproot the thread that I have finally laid."
"Who is he? We don't have princes fighting for power in Fenglin Kingdom."
"Princes are not the only ones who want to be emperor. While the emperor is away, some people can't control themselves and want to do harm to the empress."
Lu Zhiyun rarely relaxed, so she went out of the palace to walk around. As a result, she heard many "conspiracy theories" stories.
Ding Xiang said: "There are so many talents among the common people. In a short period of time, various conspiracy versions have come out."
"Isn't this bad? It shows that the people of Fenglin Country are smart."
"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you leaving the palace?"
"I always stay in the palace and my mind is blocked. If you want to know what the people are thinking, you have to get involved and listen to their thoughts."
"Your Majesty's body..."
"It's just a reaction caused by the conflict between several ingredients, and it has been adjusted."
"Is this really a coincidence?"
"If it was a coincidence, the two chefs would not have died. Since I cannot tolerate them, it is of course because I know that this matter is not that simple. What the people just said is right, the emperor is not here, and there is only one person in the palace.
I am alone, and this is just trying to pinch the soft persimmon."
In the early morning, Lu Zhiyun listened to the government behind the curtain.
As a queen, even if Xie Chengjin handed over the government affairs to her, she could not sit on the dragon throne. Therefore, Xie Chengjin's clothes were placed on the dragon throne, and she sat behind the curtain, listening to the civil and military officials in the court discussing matters.
She just listens to ordinary matters in the court. If there is no objection, she will not express her opinions. Anyway, with several ministers sitting in charge, there will usually be no problems until...
"The earth dragon turned over, causing countless casualties among the people of Nanzhou. There are already rumors among the people that evildoers are rampant, causing disasters for the people." A minister came out and said.
"Monsters are running rampant?" Lu Zhiyun said, "Master Song can be more straightforward and use the original folk words, such as 'the demon queen is in power and natural disasters are coming. This is a warning from heaven'."
"Queen, please calm down."
"What's there to be angry about? Did you say these things?" Lu Zhiyun said, "There was a natural disaster in Nanzhou and the people were harmed. I am also very worried. However, some people want to use this matter to attack me, and even
It is causing trouble to the people, so don’t blame me for investigating this matter thoroughly. Where is Xia Qingzhou?"
"The official is here." Xia Qingzhou came out.
"Leave this matter to you."
"yes."
"If there are those who mislead the public with their evil words, I give you the right to kill them first and report them later."
"I obey the decree."
If the earth dragon turns over, that is a big deal.
For people in this era, it is indeed easy to provoke public anger.
However, Lu Zhiyun's work as queen for the past two years was not in vain. No matter how she treats the people of Fenglin Kingdom, everyone has their eyes set on her.
It would be fine if it were someone else who wanted to pour this bucket of dirty water on her, but the effect was not as good as expected.
If you use a horse-drawn carriage, it will take ten days to drive from the capital to Nanzhou. If you hurry up and switch to the waterway, it will only take five days. After all, the route is shortened and there is no need to take winding roads, so the progress will be faster.
.
Xia Qingzhou rushed to Nanzhou with his men.
"Empress," Ming Ziyan said, "you are pregnant."
"What did you say?" Ding Xiang was surprised, "Really?"
Lu Zhiyun glanced at Ding Xiang.
Ding Xiang had a smile on her face: "I'm so happy, slave!"
"I haven't heard you mention it before." Lu Zhiyun said, "Is it because the month is too shallow and you didn't notice it?"
"Actually, I had doubts at that time, but as the empress said, the moon was too light to see. Furthermore, the empress had been using foods that were incompatible with each other for a while. I was not sure whether it would affect the body. I wanted to observe it for a while and then see.
