The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

When the Empress Dowager saw that Li Tianlin was smart and filial, and his words were pleasant to the ear, her eyes turned deep for a moment, and no one knew what she was thinking.

After a long while, she waved to him, asking him to come closer, and sighed, "If the King of Jin had half of your wisdom, I wouldn't have to worry so much, alas."

Li Tianlin was almost in tears because of these compliments. He only hated that he did not have the identity of King Jin and hated that he was not the emperor's son.

Good luck fooling people!

He knelt before the Empress Dowager with tears in his eyes, and kowtowed sincerely, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise."

The Empress Dowager looked at the young face and felt inexplicably dazed. She suddenly recalled the panic she felt when she first entered the palace and was trapped in these high red walls and green tiles.

It was the late emperor who took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, this will be your home from now on."

But there were too many people in the house and it was so crowded that she had no chance to make decisions.

It was already midnight. This was the most private residence in the Empress Dowager's palace. The palace maid on duty had been drugged and fainted outside the palace.

The room was not big, but it was luxurious everywhere. The Empress Dowager sat on the edge of a long and narrow rosewood bed with a velvet blanket on her legs.

She just looked at Li Tianlin... Did he look like him? Actually, not really. This child looked more like his mother.

She couldn't help but raise her hand, stroke Li Tianlin's head, and sighed deeply.

Li Tianlin knelt in front of the Empress Dowager. Perhaps because he was excited, or perhaps because he wanted to show his filial piety from the bottom of his heart, he stretched out his hand to massage the Empress Dowager's legs.

But as soon as he touched the Empress Dowager's leg, he was frightened by a cold gasp from the other party and retracted his hand.

"My nephew and grandnephew just wanted to massage the Empress Dowager's legs. I didn't mean to offend you." Li Tianlin explained embarrassedly but piously.

This is his ancestor!

As soon as he said this, he realized something was wrong. Why did he smell a strange stench?

Looking more closely, I saw that even in this June weather, the Empress Dowager was still covering her legs with a thick blanket.

At this time, the Empress Dowager had collapsed on the bed in pain, and she trembled, "Quick, quick, bring me some medicine."

Li Tianlin was stunned for a moment, "What medicine? Where is it?"

The Empress Dowager pointed to the dragon-shaped mother-of-pearl inlaid table beside her with trembling fingers, "Quick, under the table."

Li Tianlin followed the Empress Dowager's instructions and found an ingenious mechanism under the table.

After opening the mechanism, the auspicious cloud pattern originally carved on the side of the table suddenly cracked, revealing a small box inside.

Li Tianlin quickly opened the box and was stunned.

Is the Queen Mother taking longevity cream?

Without thinking too much, he quickly handed the box to the Queen Mother.

At this time, the Empress Dowager was unable to speak. She just trembled and pointed at the dressing box on the table.

There was a small jade smoking utensils inside, and Li Tianlin used it to light a pill of longevity paste for the Empress Dowager.

After squinting her eyes and puffing out smoke for a while, the Queen Mother finally recovered.

Li Tianlin also saw a part of the Empress Dowager's calf exposed under the blanket that accidentally slipped off.

The leg was festering and pus was oozing out, revealing a large area of ​​bloody red. The stench was also caused by the pus sticking together and not being treated in time.

Li Tianlin's eyes were filled with tears. "Empress Dowager, your legs, how did they become like this?"

The Queen Mother looked down and saw that the blanket had slipped off. Because of the ulcers on her legs, she was not wearing underwear and only covered herself with her outer skirt.

She reached out to pick up the blanket and covered her legs again, gritting her teeth, "Princess Yuyang's mother-in-law has a sister named Feng Shiyu. She almost killed me in Xishan. Go check and see where she is hiding now. No matter how many people you send, they must cut her into pieces for me."

Li Tianlin nodded hurriedly, "My nephew will definitely take care of this matter for the Empress Dowager."

He finally understood why the Empress Dowager always felt that Wan State had ill intentions and did not allow the Li family to touch the Fu Shou Cream, but she herself took it.

Because my legs hurt.

As if to confirm his guess, the Queen Mother said, "Fu Shou Gao is a good thing. I always thought that Wan State had ulterior motives. Now that I have tried it, I know how wonderful this thing is. It can be called a miracle drug."

Whenever she felt pain, she would smoke it. After smoking it, the pain would stop and she would feel like she was floating in the air.

If this isn’t a miracle drug, then what is?

She said solemnly, "Go to Wu Rong to prepare more Fu Shou Gao and send them to officials you know, especially those who have never come into contact with it. Tell them that this is a magical medicine given by me, which can cure all diseases and can be used by the whole family."

Li Tianlin quickly responded, "Yes."

Although he had his doubts, the Empress Dowager's will was everything.

The two of them conspired for a long time. It was almost dawn, and the little palace maid who was on night watch was probably going to wake up.

Li Tianlin had no choice but to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager. He was particularly happy to enter the palace this time because he saw the coming storm in the Empress Dowager's eyes, but also saw a different warmth from the past.

The Queen Mother looked at him lovingly and said, "You should work hard for me. After the work is done, I will not treat you unfairly. You will enjoy endless honor and wealth."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness. I will do my best, even if it means death."

The Queen Mother nodded, and suddenly remembered, "Take care of An Rou for a while, and don't let her be bullied by your short-sighted brothers and sisters. I will keep her for a use."

Li Tianlin quickly agreed.

Then the Empress Dowager said, "You should also pay more attention to Shi Anxia. Don't alert her, and don't hurt her. I want her alive. As for the prince consort, kill her if you can."

"Yes!"

Li Tianlin returned to the Li family with a mission. He worked non-stop for several days and also brought back a huge amount of longevity cream from Wu Rong, a Wan countryman hiding in the north wing.

Wu Rong was easy to talk to and a good businessman, so he was allowed to sell all the longevity cream before settling the bill.

Finally, when seeing him off, Wu Rong said, "Mr. Li, please tell us when you have a chance that we understand what she meant."

Li Tianlin seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

He looked up at the sky and felt that it was covered with dark clouds and the weather was about to change. But he felt a little unwilling in his heart. Why did that idiot King Jin take all the good things?

For a moment, I felt indescribable melancholy and bitterness in my heart.

After Li Tianlin returned to his study, he took out the magic medicine that the Empress Dowager had mentioned and inhaled it for the first time.

Just as the Empress Dowager said, this medicine is miraculous.

He felt like he was about to float up, as if he heard the Queen Mother praising him, "If the Prince of Jin had half of your wisdom, I wouldn't have to worry so much..."

He choked up and cried as he replied, "Empress Dowager, since my nephew is better than the Prince of Jin, why don't you let my nephew take his place? I am willing to work like a slave for the rest of my life to repay the Empress Dowager's kindness."

It seemed as if I could hear the Queen Mother say again, "Good boy, let's do this. Prince Jin is useless, so you can take his place."

Li Tianlin was overjoyed and knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Queen Dowager! Thank you, Queen Dowager!"

This was the scene that Li Tianlin's first wife, Liu, saw when she quietly walked into the study.
