Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Open the gate.

Jiang Lianzhu discovered that the person who came to her late at night turned out to be Zhike.

"Did you just say that the abbot was seriously ill?"

"Yes, female donor, you heard it right. The abbot is indeed seriously ill now. The poor monk heard that the female donor is known as a miracle doctor in Kyoto. I wonder if you can follow me to treat the abbot late at night?"

Zhike quickly praised.

Jiang Lianzhu was the first to become famous in Kyoto not because she was Liao Yunchuan's wife, but because of her medical skills and her kindness in treating patients.

Before receiving guests in the royal temple, they would be informed of the pilgrims' background.

Therefore, Zhike knew all about Jiang Lianzhu's deeds in Kyoto, which was why he came to visit her late at night.

"Zhike, I'm curious about something. This is a royal temple. There are always doctors waiting for treatment. Why do you want to invite me here?"

Something is wrong here.

Jiang Lianzhu smelled a different smell in it.

"Female donor, I can't explain this matter in one sentence or two. It's more important to save people. Can female donor please follow me and explain it as I go!"

Zhike was worried that if he could no longer invite Jiang Lianzhu, the abbot would not be able to survive.

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

She had never seen the abbot in this temple, and the little master Jie Chi told her that the abbot was sick.

Jiang Lianzhu always found this matter strange.

After all, when she went up the mountain, His Majesty never mentioned that the abbot was seriously ill.

You must know that the abbot in this royal temple must be screened by the royal family. If the abbot is really seriously ill, His Majesty should not not know about it.

Jiang Lianzhu went out at night, took out a sharp dagger from her arsenal and hid it in her sleeve, then followed Zhike to the front yard to meet the abbot.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

Although Zhike didn't kill her before, Jiang Lianzhu still can't come to a complete conclusion about Zhike's quality until now.

In the forecourt.

Jiang Lianzhu followed Zhike and found that this large courtyard was actually densely packed with people. Jiang Lianzhu discovered that these people were not ordinary monks, but monks who knew martial arts.

"Zhike, you are back!"

While Jiang Lianzhu was looking at it privately, an old monk suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"Abbot...Abbott, he is dying!"

Hearing this, Jiang Lianzhu was surprised. She didn't expect that the abbot was really seriously ill.

She pushed aside the crowd and entered the house. The old man lying on the quilt in the meditation room had a sallow complexion and a haggard appearance, which was far worse than Jiang Lianzhu imagined.

She didn't waste much time and just asked for her pulse.

"Abbott, this pulse is very strange."

"The pulse of a seriously ill person should be weak, but the abbot's pulse is not only not weak, but also violent. How could this be the pulse of a seriously ill person?"

At first, Jiang Lianzhu thought that the abbot's life was really coming to an end because of his old age, but now it seems that there is something hidden in it.

"Female donor, there are no outsiders in this room, you can just say what you have to say!"

Zhike looked at the abbot's situation and urged him anxiously.

"Then I have something to say directly, Zhike. Based on my experience, the abbot's pulse condition does not look like he is seriously ill, but rather like he has been poisoned."

No one's pulse became rampant because of serious illness.

"it is as expected……"

Jiang Lianzhu thought that the people in the room would not believe her diagnosis, but the fact was that none of them were surprised.

Zhike looked as if this was indeed the case.

Jiang Lianzhu felt that the current situation was too magical!

So, she tried her best to use acupuncture to detoxify the abbot, while seeking answers from the intellectuals beside her.

"What did you mean by that sentence just now?"

"The person lying here is the abbot of the royal temple. He is the person who was personally appointed by His Majesty to manage this royal temple. You are not surprised at all that he is so deeply poisoned?"

"Zhike, it turns out that my understanding of this royal temple is not deep enough!"

The abbots personally appointed by His Majesty can be poisoned. This royal temple cannot be summed up by simply harboring filth and evil!

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Lianzhu suspected that the royal temple was about to rebel!

"Female donor, can you save his life?"

Zhike didn't pay attention to the sarcasm in Jiang Lianzhu's words. He focused all his attention on the unconscious abbot.

"For the time being, I'm trying my best to save his life. As for his poison, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get rid of it for a while."

Most of the time, there are cases for curing diseases, but poisoning is different.

Only when Jiang Lianzhu knows what kind of poison the other party has poisoned can she be able to detoxify him appropriately.

"Just save your life!"

Zhike didn't expect that Jiang Lianzhu would really turn things around for them, and he was grateful to Jiang Lianzhu for a while.

Seeing Jiang Lianzhu wholeheartedly saving the abbot, Zhike no longer concealed anything.

"Female donor, I can tell you a story about the abbot's poisoning."

"The female benefactor is not from Kyoto, so do you know that the noble person living in our royal temple now is not His Majesty's biological mother?"

Jiang Lianzhu raised her eyes with surprise in her eyes. This was the first time she had heard of this matter.

"The Queen Mother is not His Majesty's biological mother. This happens many times during the change of dynasties."

Jiang Lianzhu calmed down her expression and said calmly.

"Yes, if the Queen Mother can wholeheartedly serve the country and consider His Majesty, there will naturally be no problem with such a mother and son."

"But our Queen Mother didn't want to see her son, who was not related to her, gain a stable position, so she killed many royal heirs in the palace. This is why the nobles have been living in the royal temple for a long time. .”

"Instead of praying for the country, it is better to say that His Majesty has put the Queen Mother under house arrest in disguise, and the abbot you see is the person who has been instructed by His Majesty to guard the Queen Mother."

Jiang Lianzhu finally understood it completely.

Why did Liao Yunchuan's letter to her a few days ago say that His Majesty knew many things in the royal temple very well? It turned out to be so.

"Since the Queen Mother is ambitious, she shouldn't want to be restrained by others, right?"

Jiang Lianzhu asked.

Moreover, the Queen Mother does not appear to be restrained at all in the royal temple.

"Yes, the Queen Mother used the victims outside the temple to poison the abbot a few years ago. After the abbot was poisoned, the Queen Mother took control of the royal temple little by little."

"But her desire is not just for the royal temple, but for the whole world. Female benefactor, you must have noticed something strange about Miss Xiao, right?"

Zhike's words made Jiang Lianzhu raise her head suddenly. It turned out that Xiao Xiyan's pregnancy was actually related to the Queen Mother! .
