It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 66



Chapter 65 heavy rain

Teacher Tang’s voice was low and weak, Zhao Chengjun did not hear clearly, frowning and asking: “Who is it? What did you put?”

However, Master Tang was already unable to answer. She closed her eyes and passed out into a coma. Zhao Chengjun saw that the situation was wrong, lifted her up sideways, and quickly put her on the bed in the side room.

Zhao Chengjun carefully leaned her neck on the pillow, opened her sleeves, and held her pulse. Zhao Chengjun almost died of illness when he first came to the domain, and it took a year to raise him. Since then, Zhao Chengjun has learned some basic pharmacology.

Zhao Chengjun listened attentively, but Tang Shishi was restless. Her clothes were still wet, and she was uncomfortable lying on the couch. She swayed from side to side, trying to break away from Zhao Chengjun’s restraint.

Zhao Chengjun was so disturbed by her that he couldn’t concentrate, so he could only hold her arm and faintly said, “Don’t make trouble.”

But Master Tang can’t listen anymore now, she couldn’t help pulling on her clothes, and muttered in her mouth: “It’s wet, it’s so uncomfortable.”

Zhao Chengjun was afraid that she would get cold after wearing wet clothes for a long time, so he had to hold her two wrists and said, “Don’t move, I’ll come.”

Master Tang is wearing a jade-colored Sihe Moiré gown today, with the buttons on the gown all the way up to the neck. Zhao Chengjun reached for the top button and paused slightly when he touched the placket.

If it is a man, it is not a problem for others to help change clothes and dress up after being unconscious. However…Tang Shishi is a woman.

It is not proper for men and women to give or receive.

But he glanced at the condition of Teacher Tang and sighed helplessly. Master Tang has become like this, how can there be time to care about etiquette? It’s important to save people first.

Zhao Chengjun went to untie the buttons on Master Tang’s neckline. Master Tang loved beauty and even made the buttons in bells and whistles. This is not the method Zhao Chengjun is accustomed to, he tried for a long time, but he couldn’t solve it. Master Tang was still making troubles, Zhao Chengjun could only hold her shoulders, leaned closer, and carefully looked at the structure of the collar buckle.

At this time, Master Tang murmured a few words very finely. The shape of her lips hardly moved, and the voice quickly faded away, as quickly as an illusion.

However, Zhao Chengjun was close enough to hear it. Zhao Chengjun’s pupils were slightly enlarged, and he suddenly looked down at Master Tang.

Master Tang was still in a coma, his cheeks were flushed, his eyebrows were slightly frowning, and his whole person looked very abnormal. Zhao Chengjun finally knew what kind of medicine it was. He just thought along the direction of poison, but he didn’t even see such obvious things. This is clearly a love potion in the high gate compound.

Judging from her appearance, she should have been drugged in Wangjiang Tower.

Zhao Chengjun was in a complicated mood for a while, frightened, afraid, and extremely grateful. This kind of medicine is overbearing and unpredictable. If she continues to stay in Wangjiang Tower, the consequences will be unimaginable. But she didn’t know why, regardless of rushing back to the palace, even braving the rain to find him.

In a sense, her decision saved her life.

Zhao Chengjun couldn’t help rubbing her slender and white chin, and asked in a low voice, “You ran back after a lot of trouble and desperateness just to talk about this?”

What Master Tang said vaguely just now was “Don’t go, be careful to ambush.”

Zhao Chengjun knew that there was a Nei Ying in the palace, and also knew that Nei Ying was contacting her quietly. In fact, Zhao Chengjun basically knows who the inner should be, and the reason why they are still there is just to confuse the Queen Mother Yao who is thousands of miles away.

It is imperative for him to go to Suzhou this time. Zhao Chengjun has checked the secret letter in private. He can find out the difference in Heishui City, and naturally he can find out that the secret letter has been touched. He has someone in Jinyiwei, and these internal methods can’t deceive Zhao Chengjun.

However, Zhao Chengjun never expected that Master Tang would risk his life to remind him that by mistakes, instead of helping her escape the real danger. This is probably because there is a certain number in the dark.

Master Tang could not hear his voice, Zhao Chengjun watched Master Tang for a long time, whispering to himself, not knowing who he was asking: “Why?”

Obviously, she didn’t know her Chinese medicine. She ran back in the rain completely unintentionally. Not for fame or profit, then what is she doing this for?

Why are you running back? Why remind him? She is so utilitarian, how could she not know how dangerous it is to save him. How is she going to explain this action in the future?

Take 10,000 steps back and think, if Zhao Chengjun dies, Zhao Zixun can inherit the throne, so that no one will hinder Zhao Zixun. This is clearly a good thing for Tang Shishi, why should she go so far as to rescue Zhao Chengjun?

What does she think of him?

Zhao Chengjun sighed deeply, and said: “Finally, let you go first, and then I will care about you when I come back. For the current plan, it is better to detoxify first.”

Zhao Chengjun observed for a long time, and finally unbuttoned Tang Shishi’s collar. Zhao Chengjun once held a pen to lead the army, but never once did he feel such a strong sense of relief. He let out a long sigh of relief, very helpless: “A button is so troublesome, you can really make a noise.”

Because of this action, the two people are very close. Shishi Tang seemed to be in the two layers of ice and fire, her body was cold and hot, and in the blur, she vaguely felt that there was a heat source in front of her. Regardless of what it was, Master Tang subconsciously hugged tightly.

Zhao Chengjun was untying the third button, and was suddenly held by her. Zhao Chengjun’s instinct was stiff, and she was about to move, and her neck was wrapped around by Master Tang. Her cheeks were naturally pressed against Zhao Chengjun’s shoulders: “Mother, it’s cold.”

Zhao Chengjun was angry and funny. He finally pulled her up helplessly and said: “I am not your mother, don’t move, let go…”

Master Tang’s body is soft, and his waist is as soft as a willow, as soft as boneless. Zhao Chengjun sat up half hugging her, unbuttoned her clothes with one hand, and took off her coat. After finally taking off her outer shirt, Zhao Chengjun was already exhausted and sweating.

Zhao Chengjun threw the clothes on the shelf with one hand, thinking with great helplessness, this is much more tiring than leading the military training.

After removing the coat, the coat was tightly attached to Master Tang, and Master Tang’s neck and arms were so big. Shishi Tang was irritated by the cold air in the room, and he entangled Zhao Chengjun more tightly. Zhao Chengjun has been enduring her harassment since entering the house. Now that the jade armbands are on Zhao Chengjun’s waist, Zhao Chengjun has to use all his self-control to ensure that he sits.

Rather than tearing up her thin layers of clothes that are simply vulnerable.

Zhao Chengjun grasped his hand into a fist, his knuckles tightened and tight, and finally held her shoulders restrained and pulled her away: “I forgive you for being delirious and don’t care about you. You lie down obediently, and I will let people come in. You take the pulse.”

Zhao Chengjun put Teacher Tang back on the bed and quickly got up. He overestimated himself too much, and something will happen if he stays. Zhao Chengjun didn’t take two steps. Tang Shishi on the bed saw Zhao Chengjun leaving in half asleep and half awake. He instinctively got up and hugged him tightly from behind: “Don’t go, I’m afraid.”

Master Tang’s arm looped around Zhao Chengjun’s waist and clung to him tightly. Zhao Chengjun stopped stiffly in place. From this angle, he could clearly feel that there were two extremely soft objects on his back. No man can resist this temptation. Zhao Chengjun took her wrist, turned around, and stared at her closely: “Who am I?”

Master Tang opened his eyes wide innocently, and it was foggy inside. She was poured all the way by the rain, and the medicinal properties were suppressed, so that she could walk to the study safely, but correspondingly, the medicinal properties rebounded again after the suppression, which was more dangerous than the first time.

Master Tang is now not quite clear where she is and what she is doing. She only knew that she knew the person in front of her and was very reliable.

Master Tang wanted to move his arm, but his wrist was firmly clamped. He exerted so much force that she pinched her a little bit of pain. Teacher Tang burst into tears aggrieved, and said, “You hurt me.”

Zhao Chengjun lowered his head to see her hand and let go stiffly. Master Tang regained his freedom, wrapped his shoulders contentedly, and said: “I know you, your name is King Jing.”

“Say the name.”

Master Tang blinked and thought for a long time before asking tentatively, “Zhao Chengjun?”

Zhao Chengjun’s heart finally landed. He thought to himself that Master Tang took the initiative to send it up. He also gave her a chance, but she was not sure.

Can’t blame him.

“Hey, lie down. Take off the hairpin from your head.”

Master Tang still looked at him blankly: “Why?”

Zhao Chengjun couldn’t help laughing: “You’ll know soon.”

Outside the window, there was heavy rain and thunder, and the world was covered by rain into a vast white fog. Liu Ji stayed outside, watching his nose and his heart, very calm.

Time slowly passed, the rain gradually diminished, and the sound of water ticking under the eaves, the rain finally stopped. Zhao Chengjun put on his shirt and sighed helplessly when he saw the blood on his arm.

Next time, he has to cut off Master Tang’s nails. And, Haosheng changed her squeamish character.

Zhao Chengjun looked back, she was sleeping peacefully in the tent, and she looked very well-behaved. Zhao Chengjun sighed secretly, if she had been so behaved, how good she would be.

Outside the door, Liu Ji was already waiting. Seeing Zhao Chengjun coming out, Liu Ji did not ask anything, but asked for instructions: “Master, the rain has stopped, and the line is ready. Do you want to leave now?”

Zhao Chengjun looked at the sky, and although he was reluctant to give up, he said, “It is better to pass the order down, and lead the team. You send a maid to change her clothes, and call the imperial physician to check her pulse soon.”

When Liu Ji responded, he hesitated slightly and wanted to ask if he wanted to avoid the child soup. However, thinking that the prince has no heirs so far, he concealed it on his own terms.

Anyway, the prince did not order, that is not to drink.

Zhao Chengjun didn’t notice Liu Ji’s slight pause. He put on a scarlet cloak as he walked, and said: “Good students take care of her, don’t say anything, everything will wait for me to come back to arrange.”

“Yes.”

Master Tang was very restless in his sleep. She seemed to have a long dream. In the dream, there was fire and rain. She fought cold from time to time, and melted from time to time. Later, it became pure pain.

The pain was subtle and dense, and Master Tang tried to break free several times, but there was nowhere to hide. After that, the pain faded and turned into trembling numbness. Master Tang was tortured and cried. In her dream, she seemed to be begging for mercy with someone. The person comforted her and promised her, but she just kept on.

Master Tang was so angry in her dream. She felt someone approaching in the ups and downs of her consciousness. She suddenly opened her eyes. The maid who was pulling the bed was startled and crouched to bow to Master Tang: “Miss Tang, you are awake. .”

Master Tang slowly stood up and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar furnishings in front of him, but couldn’t react for a long time. Wasn’t she fired by Zhao Chengjun? Why did she appear in the study?

No, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, she should be in Wangjiang Tower! Master Tang found out that her clothes had changed at this time. She was shocked and instinctively covered her collar.

When the maid saw it, she whispered: “Girl, you didn’t wake up just now. The maid cleaned your body and changed into a new coat. Does the girl think the clothes don’t fit?”

Tang Shishi was completely stunned, her apricot eyes stared extremely wide, the light inside was extinguished, and the situation changed.

Master Tang’s arm softened and he almost fell on the bed. The maid was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her. The blood on Master Tang’s face faded, and she couldn’t believe what she had done.

She and King Jing? How is this possible?

Master Tang’s lips trembled lightly and asked, “Where is the prince?”

“The prince led his troops away half an hour ago.”

it is as expected. With the last fluke, Master Tang asked: “Then did he leave any words?”

The maid thought for a while and shook her head gently. Master Tang seemed to be splashed with cold water on his face, and even his lips were white. She lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

What did she think Zhao Chengjun would leave behind? She slowly recalled what happened before. Feng Qian calculated that she took the **** and transported it back to the palace instead of being taken advantage of outside. She took the initiative to post it, and naturally no man would refuse.

Zhao Chengjun probably looks down on such behavior. Maybe, he thought she was deliberate.

Master Tang suddenly lost all his strength and leaned back on the pillow. After the strong breath dissipated, she realized that her whole body was hurting, especially in that place, as if she was torn. Master Tang closed her eyes in despair, thinking that she had even ruined her way to become a female officer. As a maid climbing on the host’s bed, she was always a taboo.

Zhao Chengjun is still a person who is so tired of being calculated by women. When he comes back, how will he send her off?

Master Tang couldn’t even think about it. The maid called Master Tang several times, but Master Tang did not respond. Liu Ji heard the movement outside the door, knocked on the door and came in, saying a thousand words through the screen: “Miss Tang, are you awake?”

They still call her a girl, so it can be seen that they won’t have any status anymore. Teacher Tang smiled bitterly, cheered up, and helped the bed to bow down to the ground to salute: “Liu Gonggong, forgive me…”

Both Liu Ji and the maid were taken aback. The maid quickly helped her. Liu Ji also tried to sue her behind the screen: “Don’t be a girl, aren’t you a shameless old man? Girl, you got rained on the road, let the lord go. I specifically ordered the slave to wait for you to give you the decoction to keep you away from the cold. The girl should drink it while it’s hot.”

The maid walked outside and soon came in with a bowl of concoction. Master Tang looked at the bowl of black medicinal juice with a bright heart.

Isn’t this baizitang? Master Tang didn’t say anything. He took the medicine and poured it directly into his mouth. Seeing that she was drinking in a hurry, Liu Ji specifically added: “Don’t worry, girl, this is a medicine for typhoid, and it will not harm your body.”

When Master Tang heard this, he was even more certain. This is indeed avoiding child soup. Liu Ji was afraid that she would not drink it, and even specifically said it was a cure for illness.

Funny, is she that stupid?

Master Tang’s agility in drinking medicine was beyond Liu Ji’s imagination. Liu Ji vaguely felt that Master Tang’s attitude was not right, but he couldn’t think of any problems, so he could only leave it behind for a while, and said, “Girl, the outside minions have already been arranged. You don’t have to worry about being seen by anyone when you go back. Go back to the house now, or wait?”

Even the road has been arranged. It can be seen how much Jing Wang doesn’t want to see her, and I don’t want people to know. The more Master Tang thinks about it, the more saddened he is. With such an attitude, can Master Tang still keep his face in despair? Master Tang felt cruel, and immediately got up and said, “I’ll be back now.”

Tang Shishi wrapped his cloak and returned to Jianjia Academy. Du Juan was shocked when he saw that Tang Shishi’s hair was loose and his clothes were changed. But Master Tang refused to say anything, her face was pale and she looked extremely tired: “Prepare water, I want to take a bath.”

In Wangjiang Tower, everyone had been searching for a long time, but still could not find Master Tang. Lu Yufei calmly asked, “Have you seen all the corners, haven’t you found where she is?”

The servants shook their heads angrily. Feng Qian stood on the side with a sad expression, wiping her tears and said, “I blame me. If I kept Sister Tang with me every step of the way, things wouldn’t happen now.”

Lu Yufei’s complexion was extremely bad, and there was no such thing as the good mood when he first arrived. This festival was really bad. Halfway through the dragon boat race, it was raining. Finally, after the rain stopped, Master Tang disappeared.

When Lu Yufei heard the news, he felt a little stunned. Today, the Wangjiang Tower is full of powerful and powerful people, and there are many foreigners. From the appearance of Master Tang, she disappeared, which is not a good thing.

The more Lu Yufei thought about it, the more irritable she became. If she was an ordinary maid, she would be gone if she disappeared. It would be a big deal as a favor to the other party. However, the problem is that Tang Shishi is Zhao Chengjun’s maid.

Master Tang is gone, how can Lu Yufei dare to shoulder this responsibility?

Lu Yufei was upset, and a small servant came outside to pass a letter, saying: “Earth son, the prince is out today. As soon as the rain stops, the son will take people back. The son will send the son to pass the message and let the son and concubine return to the house by himself. Don’t delay too late.”

Lu Yufei’s face suddenly became gloomy. She was worried about the presence of many maids around, and she barely endured, and said, “Okay, I know. Since the son is gone, we can’t delay, let’s go.”

“The concubine, that girl Tang…”

“The matter is urgent, since Wangjiang Tower can’t be found, then go back to the city and look for it slowly.” Lu Yufei said, “Can’t delay sending the prince off for her, let’s go.”

The subordinates should all be right, Feng Qian followed the crowd with awe-inspiring tears. Lu Yufei came out of the building carrying the elder concubine’s frame, thinking in his heart, they will definitely not be able to catch up with King Jing when they go back now. The marching war will take one and a half years, and after half a year, King Jing will return. How can you remember the man of Tang Shishi?

In this case, the loss of Master Tang is not a major event. Lu Yufei let out a long sigh of relief. She thought that the scourge would never happen again in the palace, and she was immediately relieved, even being left behind by Zhao Zixun was nothing.
