The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

The next day, as daybreak approached, the Kunning Palace was brightly lit.

When the emperor and empress went out, the whole court would see them off. Officials would line up in neat rows in a solemn and respectful manner in front of the white marble steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

One of the assassins disguised himself as Shen Baozhao and wore the loose uniform of the queen, but his bulging belly could still be seen.

Supported by the palace maids, he followed Xiao Yuanhuai and boarded the dragon chariot.

The six horses were fat and strong, and their bodies were inlaid with various gold, silver, jade, gems and pearls. They sparkled in the rising sun, looking extremely noble.

The traveling team was very long, and the dragon chariot was surrounded by guards, which was very thorough.

Mei Hanlin was already old, and Emperor Chengde had agreed that he didn't have to report for duty every day. So he didn't come to see him off today.

At this moment, he was in a courtyard on a street in Kyoto, making final arrangements.

All the death squads were in place yesterday, and their leader was waiting for Mei Hanlin's order.

Mei Ruolan supported Mei Hanlin, and the two of them heard a loud commotion outside in the yard. The emperor and empress's procession had passed Sifang Street and was heading out of the city.

Mei Ruolan stroked the hairpins on her temples. After today, Shen would become a dead person.

The position of queen is vacant, who else but her?

When Xiao Yuanhuai reached Sifang Street, he had already received news from the secret guards that the queen had arrived safely at Baoyuan Hall.

Baoyuan Hall had been under the control of the Imperial Guards the day before. As long as Zhaozhao arrived at Baoyuan Hall, she would be safe.

Although Shen Baozhao was an expert in martial arts, he was still worried, especially since she was pregnant.

Bixiao followed Shen Baozhao with a medicine box on his back, while Zeng Yuanshi lived and ate in Baoyuan Hall for the past few days.

"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen"

"You don't have to be so polite, Mr. Zeng. Take me to see the patient."

Envoy Zeng bowed and led Shen Baozhao forward.

Baoyuantang did an excellent job in blocking the infection of patients. Patients were divided according to the severity of their illness, isolated and placed in different rooms.

Shen Baozhao put on a special medical suit and a veil, ready to examine patients with mild, moderate and severe conditions in turn.

Many patients are lying on the ground, and they have to squat in order to feel their pulse.

Shen Baozhao, with his huge belly, squatted and stood up from time to time, and soon his back and waist began to ache.

Fortunately, Bixiao was holding her waist and giving her support.

When Zeng Yuanshi saw how hard the queen worked, he was greatly impressed!

After this incident, if anyone still slanders and insults the Queen, he will be the first to disagree, and he will never go to those people's homes for medical consultation again!

Your Majesty, the Queen cares about the people and is a role model for all women in the world. You deserve a monument and a book to be written about her. How can you allow those shameless villains to desecrate her?

By the time Shen Baozhao had understood the basic conditions of the patients in Baoyuan Hall, it was already past noon. Calculating the time, the praying team should have arrived at the foot of the Fahua Temple.

It's just that she was too busy and had no time to ask about the other party's situation.

"Director Zeng, can you please show me the prescription that all the doctors discussed before?"

Dean Zeng hurriedly asked someone to bring the prescription.

This prescription was changed many times. The patient's symptoms were obviously relieved after taking some of the prescriptions, but the high fever recurred the next day, and there were also symptoms of difficulty breathing.

Shen Baozhao looked at the prescription and agreed, "They are all mainly for reducing fever and treating coughs, but they are still a little short."

When Zeng Yuanshi heard this, he was immediately delighted. All the doctors who looked at this prescription could find nothing wrong with it.

If the Queen could put forward different opinions, there might be other breakthroughs.

"I observed that although the disease started with sore throat and cough, it later led to nasal congestion, runny nose, high fever, limb pain, and even difficulty breathing, chest tightness, and chest pain.

For this disease, the main treatment should be clearing away heat and detoxifying. "

Clear away heat and detoxify? This was the first time that Minister Zeng had heard such a suggestion.

"Could your Majesty prescribe a prescription?"

"nature."

Shen Baozhao asked someone to bring a brush and quickly wrote down the various medicinal ingredients on the rice paper, carefully considering the dosage.

In just the time it took for a stick of incense to reach his destination, Minister Zeng obtained the prescription written by Shen Baozhao.

"How about Envoy Zeng take a look?"

Envoy Zeng narrowed his eyes and looked over there.

Forsythia, honeysuckle, roasted ephedra, stir-fried bitter almonds, gypsum, isatis root, cyperus rotundus, houttuynia cordata, patchouli, rhubarb, rhodiola rosea, menthol, and licorice.

Sixteen herbs, clearing away pathogens, detoxifying, tonifying the lungs and relieving heat. Not a bad recipe.

Envoy Zeng bowed solemnly to Shen Baozhao and said, "Your Majesty, I will ask someone to prepare some medicine and boil it for the patient to try."

Shen Baozhao agreed and she was no longer needed for the following matters.

She had been standing for a long time, and her legs were a little swollen. With Bixiao's help, she went into the room to rest.

"Bixiao, is there any news from His Majesty?"

"I will send someone to ask."

Xiao Yuanhuai originally thought that if the people in the dark wanted to take action, the best option would be to do it at the foot of the mountain.

The dragon chariot was to be replaced with a sedan chair and carried up the mountain by the imperial guards.

Then the 'Queen' will be exposed to everyone.

But he was wrong. The transfer was safe and the sea was smooth.

Could it be that they were just being overly suspicious? No one would cause trouble today?

Halfway through the journey, there was a bridge across a mountain stream. This bridge was only wide enough for sedan chair bearers to cross.

At this moment, something unexpected happened. Many assassins attacked from all directions.

Holding a shining knife, he chopped at the sedan chair that Shen Baozhao was riding in without regard for his life.

The group of people who went up the mountain were all elite soldiers selected from the imperial guards. They had received orders long ago and were all prepared.

Weapons clashed in the mountain stream, and there were bursts of fighting and roaring sounds.

Xiao Yuanhuai, who was hiding in the distance, said to An Yi behind him: "Make sure to leave some people alive! Especially the one in the middle."

Xiao Yuanhuai pointed at the person who fought the hardest and injured the most guards. If he was not mistaken, that person should be the leader of this group.

An Yi took the order and rushed towards the battlefield!

The assassin disguised as Shen Baozhao had been sitting in the sedan chair. She had been ordered not to reveal her identity unless her life was in danger.

Otherwise, once it is discovered that the queen is a fake, the death squad will probably retreat.

What they want is to catch them all in one fell swoop and not let a single fish escape!

The imperial guards were also very resilient and had not allowed the other side to get close to the sedan chair.

Mei Hanlin sent out a large number of assassins this time, and he was determined to hit the target with one strike.

But Xiao Yuanhuai made deployment in advance, and the fighting power of the imperial guards was obviously stronger than that of the death squad.

With the addition of An Yi, the battle situation on the field became one-sided.

Half an incense stick later, the battle ended with some of the warriors being captured and the rest being killed.

"Go back to the palace!"

Xiao Yuanhuai took An Yi and went ahead, leaving the remaining captives to Chen Chen, who was ordered to interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes.

And of course he had to go pick up his wife first.

When Xiao Yuanhuai arrived at Baoyuan Hall, the lights were already on.
