Chapter 16 Everything is fate
  Jing Muling seemed to be aware of her gaze and looked towards her.
  When their eyes met again, Jing Muling's eyes were empty and void, with no light at all. He was undoubtedly blind.
  Did she see it wrong just now?
  Jing Muling quickly looked away and replied to the Queen Mother's words: "It's just a coincidence. It's fifteenth and the moonlight is so beautiful that I can't see it, so I can only order my servants to tell it to me."
  "My subordinates said that there was a colorful halo outside the full moon. I was curious and ordered someone to go to Si Tianjian to ask. Who knows, but I heard Si Tianjian talk about the beauties contributed by the Sheng clan, so I paid attention and informed you. "
  The Queen Mother smiled kindly, patted Jing Muling's hand with her other hand, and said, "No matter what, it was you who contributed. If I hadn't checked the Ai family, I wouldn't have known that Si Tianjian's people were taking advantage of their positions."
  "Using power for personal gain and reaping benefits privately, Sheng Clan is so ambitious that she actually wants to use her beauty to seduce the king, and even bribes Si Tianjian to tell her that she is a lucky star, huh!"
  It was a matter of government affairs, so it was not convenient for the Queen Mother to say anything, so Jing Muling remained silent and did not respond.
  The Queen Mother sighed and said: "It's a pity that Si Tianjian's mistake caused Zhuo Xi to almost lose his life. After all these years of suffering, the fine clothes and food can never make up for it."
  "The queen wants to make up for it, but the son has a way." Jing Muling pretended to be curious and said: "When I heard the second young lady talking just now, it didn't sound like she was completely stupid."
  "A doctor with superb medical skills has come to my residence. He is from the Valley of Miracle Doctors. If my mother is at ease, I can order him to diagnose and treat the second young lady."
  "The doctor you hired has to treat your eyes. How can he still have the energy to treat Zhuo Xi?" The Queen Mother hesitated and said: "Before Si Tianjian approved the order, the Ai family also ordered many imperial doctors to see him."
  "It is said that if you have a high fever for three days, it will burn out your brain for too long and it will never recover. If you let it die all these years, I'm afraid it will delay the best opportunity for treatment."
  Jing Muling fumbled to the side, and Zhengyang quickly picked up the tea bowl and handed it to him.
  After drinking the tea, he continued: "I have to try. I lost my mother when I was young. When I first came to your knees, Princess Xiaoqing also took care of me. I think it was my little effort to repay her. "
  At that time, there were frequent troubles in the enemy country, and there were rebellions by foreign tribes in the country. Zhongyihou went to war for many years. His wife came from a martial arts family and accompanied her husband in the war. After reporting to the emperor, he entrusted his daughter to be raised by his close friend, a good concubine.
  The good concubine is the current Queen Mother.
  Jing Muling and Princess Xiaoqing also knew each other before, but they were very different in age, so they didn't have much interaction.
  At this time, he mentioned it, reminding the Queen Mother of the past, her eyes were slightly red, and said: "It's hard for you to remember, but it's up to you. Whether she can be cured or not is her fate."
  Shen Zhuoxi listened to the whole process without speaking.
  She also wants to wait for the old lady in the house to come back and find a way to go out. There is a better way in front of her, and she must not let it down!
  The Queen Mother and Jing Muling said a few words of farewell, and then Sister Guirong led someone out and reported to the Queen Mother in a low voice: "The Queen Mother, that woman has a very strict mouth."
  "I have used a lot of available punishments. I still beat the second lady to death without torturing the second lady. Master Shen fell to the ground because he was the prince's teacher. Before the emperor was notified, people from the master's residence cannot die in Cining Palace. You see..."
  The Queen Mother was so angry that her head ached. She held her forehead and said, "Send the second young lady back in person, take the old woman with you, and tell them that Zhuo Xi is not the reincarnation of a demon star!"
  "Yes, Queen Mother, please calm down. I'll go right away. Don't get so angry. The wind in your head is just right. Don't let it happen again." Aunt Guirong was very worried and responded repeatedly.
  The Queen Mother's headache was a chronic problem, especially after she was angry, the veins on her temples would bulge and jump, which looked a bit scary.
  She ordered a few people to step back, closed her eyes slightly and pressed her temples, then a pair of slightly cold hands came up.
  The Queen Mother was so shocked that she opened her eyes and turned around to see Shen Zhuoxi. She forced a smile and said, "Follow Sister Guirong back. Don't be afraid. No one in the Taishi Mansion dares to embarrass you."
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't seem to hear anything. He kept pressing his hands near her temples and said innocently, "Mommy told me that it won't hurt if you rub it."
  Through those similar eyes, the Queen Mother seemed to see Princess Xiaoqing, who was also so gentle and considerate at the beginning, more filial than her own child, so she let her go.
  She didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or other reasons, but she just felt that Shen Zhuoxi's hand was pressing lightly or hard every now and then, which was very comfortable.
  The headache gradually subsided and she even felt better. Without thinking too much, the Queen Mother asked Aunt Guirong to pack some rewards.
  When Shen Zhuoxi was massaging the Queen Mother's head, Jing Muling stopped and stood at the door waiting.
  The voices inside were neither too loud nor too quiet. Zhengyang beside him craned his neck to take a look and whispered: "What a fool. He even dared to get his hands on the Queen Mother's head."
  Jing Muling frowned, her eyes filled with coldness: "When did you talk so much? You dare to look around and talk nonsense in the palace."
  "I know I'm wrong." Zhengyang said aggrievedly: "I'm just curious. This second lady really knows how to heal. The poison in your body..."
  Before he finished speaking, he already met Jing Muling's angry eyes. Zhengyang shrank his neck, covered his mouth and lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
  Over there, Shen Zhuoxi followed Sister Guirong. When passing by Jing Muling, she always felt that his eyes were looking at her.
  While I was still thinking, I suddenly heard Jing Muling's deep voice: "The doctor in my palace is available tomorrow. If the second lady is free, she can come to Prince Yu's palace at noon."
  Shen Zhuoxi stood beside him without speaking.
  Aunt Guirong responded with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Yu is kind-hearted. I'm afraid the second lady doesn't understand what you mean. I will tell the second lady's maid to make an appointment tomorrow."
  "Thank you, mama." Jing Muling took Zhengyang's hand and left first.
  Aunt Guirong looked at it and sighed heavily.
  Shen Zhuoxi couldn't hold it back for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"
  Her tone was ordinary. Thinking that she was mentally ill, there was no harm in talking, so she held her hand and said, "I lament that the Queen Mother has raised four children, none of whom are her biological children."
  "Princess Xiaoqing died young, His Royal Highness King Yu was blind despite his great military exploits. Only the Emperor... Alas! Sure enough, everything is fate!"
  Four, who is the other one?
  Moreover, the emperor is not the Queen Mother’s biological child? !
  Shen Zhuoxi was afraid of arousing suspicion and didn't dare to ask. He only planted the seeds of doubt in his heart.
  When they entered the palace, there were only two people, Shen Zhuoxi and Aunt Cui. When they left the palace, there was a huge group of people dragging Aunt Cui who looked like a dead dog, which attracted many people's attention.
  The guard in front of the Taishi Mansion saw it from a distance and quickly sent someone to notify Shen Heshan and Yu Qinglian.
  Shen Heshan had not fully recovered after suffering from diarrhea. Yu Qinglian was feeding him the nourishing soup. When he heard the news, he was so frightened that he didn't even hold the bowl: "The Queen Mother sent many people to send the second lady back?"
  "Go down first." Shen Heshan frowned and retreated from the boy, saying unhappily: "After sitting in the position of the eldest lady for more than ten years, why do you still panic about the smallest things? You were not like this before."
  "Master, the Queen Mother attaches so much importance to her, if..." Yu Qinglian obviously wanted to say something, but seeing Shen Heshan's face darken for a moment, he swallowed the words again and changed his words: "I know I was wrong."
  Shen Heshan pushed away the soup spoon she was feeding and said, "After all, the Queen Mother's people are here in person, so go out to greet her first."
