The Empress Dowager's face changed several times, and she suddenly ordered the palace maids behind her: "You guys retreat first!"

"Yui. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A group of palace maids heard the words as if they were amnestied, and they withdrew from the palace in a panic, they are all old fritters in the palace, and they know that sometimes the more they know, the faster they will die.

After the slaves retreated, the Empress Dowager sighed lightly and said to Xiao Peng: "Alas...... Why did Xiao Daxia say this? The mourning family has never had an idea that it shouldn't be, but the official family is too young to distinguish between things, and the mourning family is ......."

"Okay, okay, those high-sounding words don't need to be said, hmph, don't mention anything else, when Xu'er was young, she was weak and sick, but you strictly ordered the imperial doctor not to treat it, could it be that this is also for Xu'er's good?"

Listening to Xiao Peng's words, the Empress Dowager turned pale, glanced at Zhao Xu, and saw that he just looked up at the roof, not at her, so he turned his head to look at Xiao Peng, with a hint of begging in his eyes, hoping that he would not say any more.

Seeing this, Xiao Peng sighed slightly, what a powerful thing! What a charming thing, the royal family has no family affection, sure enough, "Forget it, don't mention the past, no matter what purpose and idea you have to listen to the government, you have always taken care of the government well over the years, although it is not enterprising enough, but it is more than conservative, you will guard the country for Xu'er for a few more years!"

Xiao Peng said this, stared closely at the eyes of the Empress Dowager, and said: "Xu'er promised me to create a prosperous era of the Great Song Dynasty like Zhenguan's rule, maybe this seems like a fool's dream to you, but what I want to tell you is that Xu'er has my support, and it is not difficult to do this." ”

After saying this, Xiao Peng walked over to Ah Zhu's side with his hands behind his back, and said: "As for Xu'er's practice out of the palace, it's easy to do, Nei'er is proficient in the art of disguise, and it can be passed on to Cao Lao, you just need to find a person who is about the same size as Xu'er in the inner servant, and change it into Xu'er's appearance, anyway, Xu'er doesn't need to speak in the Zichen Palace, just sit there and make a appearance." ”

"This is the end of the matter, now come here! Xiao Peng walked to the brocade couch and said to the Empress Dowager.

When the Empress Dowager listened to Xiao Peng's words, she had mixed feelings in her heart: Why? Why is this person not on my side? Gao Zetian! Why don't I want to? I am more conservative than old, and not enterprising enough, is this what you say about me? If someone like you helps me, why don't I want to forge ahead? Why am I willing to keep the old ways?

Am I really not aware that Wang Anshi's new law is a policy for enriching the country and strengthening the army? However, the implementation of the new law has too much to do with and involves too many people, has harmed the interests of too many people, and without a decisive force in its hands, who can guarantee the success of the law reform without shaking the foundation of the country?

You did your best for him, and you thought about everything for him, and in your eyes, I was just a housekeeper who could guard him for a few years, how unfair is this?

The Empress Dowager was angry, but as soon as she heard Xiao Peng's last sentence, she instantly didn't think about anything, alas, what's the use of thinking so much? The most important thing for people is to live, only by living can they think about other things, and when they die, they have nothing.

Putting aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind, the Empress Dowager slowly walked to the brocade couch and sat down, Xiao Peng spread out his right palm, and the mana quickly gathered in the palm of his hand, condensing into a round ball in the palm of his hand, Xiao Peng continued to output mana, and the ball slowly became larger, and then it was compressed and condensed inward.

A moment later, the orb of mana condensed in his palm was solid, emitting a soft but not dazzling yellow light.

The Empress Dowager's eyes widened, looking at the yellow ball of light in Xiao Peng's hand, she felt that there was a strange aura coming from the ball of light, although she didn't know that the strange aura was the so-called "vitality", but she knew that the ball of light must be of great benefit to herself.

"Relax your body, don't be nervous, offended. Xiao Peng said lightly, then reversed his palm, and slowly pressed the light cluster on the heart of the Empress Dowager's left chest, and the light cluster slowly penetrated through the Empress Dowager's flesh and skin into the body.

The Empress Dowager is heart failure, the so-called heart failure, refers to the heart caused by various reasons to weaken the myocardial contractility, so that the blood output of the heart is reduced, not enough to meet the needs of the body, and resulting in a series of symptoms and signs, and when the myocardial contractility is completely lost, stop exporting blood, people will naturally die.

Xiao Peng's way to give the Empress Dowager the next life was to use the mana she had condensed as the power of her heart, to assist the already failing heart to continue to work, restore and enhance the contractility of the myocardium, and beat out the blood supply required for venous return and body tissue metabolism.

Of course, this ball of mana is only Xiao Peng into her body after all, from external forces, it is a consumable, at most it is only enough for her to consume about two years, and it will be exhausted after two years, and the remaining life of her heart itself has been exhausted in this process, so as long as this ball of mana is consumed, her life will basically come to an end.

"Okay, your own heart power is almost exhausted, and this ball of mana I scored is equivalent to replenishing your consumed mental strength, you are now no different from a healthy old man, I believe you can feel it. After the mana ball completely submerged into the Empress Dowager's chest and entered her heart, Xiao Peng withdrew his right hand, took a few steps back, and said lightly.

"I've finished the matter, Xu'er has traveled a long way recently, rest in the palace tonight, and go out of the palace with me tomorrow! Madam, you will pass on the disguise technique to Cao Lao later, and then ask Cao Lao to stay in the palace and change his appearance for Xu'er's stand-in. ”

After Xiao Peng said this, he glanced at Cao Mowen, Cao Mowen knew in his heart, Xiao Peng asked him to stay in the palace, naturally in order to secretly cultivate the matter of protecting the dragon and the hidden guard, and then saluted respectfully with Zhao Xu: "Yes, Shizun (national teacher)." ”

The Empress Dowager felt her body carefully, the feeling of dizziness and grogginess had completely disappeared, her mind was clear, her breathing was no longer so rapid, her left hand rolled up her sleeves, her original pale skin was also bloody, and she was overjoyed, but she naturally would not be so gullible, and after thanking Xiao Peng, she drove back to the palace.

Chongqing Palace.

"Pass on the Imperial Doctor. The Empress Dowager gave an order to the chamberlain beside her, and she returned to the brocade couch in the back cabinet again, returning to the previous state of being dead and alive.

After a moment of the imperial doctor's arrival, the Empress Dowager pretended to be weak and said, "A few of you tell the mourning family the truth, and the mourning family still has a few months to live?"

The faces of the imperial doctors changed drastically, and they looked at each other, but none of them were the first to speak.

When the Empress Dowager saw this, she was furious and shouted: "How long will you still deceive the mourning family? If you don't say that you are ugly today, the mourning family will behead you all over the house and bury you for the mourning family." ”

The imperial doctors were shocked and changed color, and kowtowed again and again, "The Empress Dowager is gracious, and Wechen is honest and straightforward, Wechen is not good at medicine, and he can't cure the Empress Dowager, and the crime deserves death, but Wechen's family is innocent, please ask the Empress Dowager to be gracious!"

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her face softened, hum, this group of imperial doctors, who know the best way to protect themselves, always hide what they say, and leave three points when they speak, that Zhongshentong clearly said that I have heart failure, but these guys said that it was too much mental energy, and it was obviously impossible to diagnose and treat, but they told me that they only need to think less, meditate and recuperate, and not force them into a desperate situation, and they are determined not to tell the truth.

"Say, as long as you speak the truth, the mourners will forgive you for your innocence. ”

When the imperial doctors heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and kowtowed again and again as if they had been amnestied, "Empress Dowager Xie is merciful." ”

After thanking him, the leading imperial physician said with a sad face: "The Empress Dowager's illness is actually caused by the exhaustion of mental strength, and the heart is the foundation of life...... Once a person loses three souls...... Nature...... Nature......"

"Naturally, you can't live, yes or no? You just tell the mourning family directly, how long can the mourning family's mental strength be supported?" asked the empress dowager impatiently.

"Qi Qi Empress Dowager, with the Empress Dowager's current mental strength, coupled with the use of medicinal materials to hang her life, the Empress Dowager should be ...... When there is still half a year to go. After the imperial doctor finished speaking, they all bowed down and grabbed the ground with their heads.

"Half a year, half a year, he really didn't lie to me, he said that I can live for four or five months, which refers to my own remaining mental strength, and if I use the elixir to hang my life, I can live for more than a month, and I really only have half a year to live. ”
