Great Qin Shi Empress

== Big Hole ==

Liquid ammonia is not easy to store, so it cannot be used as fertilizer to fertilize crops temporarily, but there are too many fertilizers that liquid ammonia can be used to produce, the most common ones are urea and nitrogen fertilizer.

But Lin Qian still only knows a general method, so he can only wait for the group of alchemists to work hard.

Lin Qian looked at Xu Shi and the others and said, "If you have any needs, just send someone to me, and I will try my best to meet your reasonable demands."

Xu Shi and the others nodded repeatedly, but their eyes were already glued to various experimental equipment.

Lin Qian was helpless and funny, so she had no choice but to leave.

……

After the porcelain was fired, Lin Qian directly sold the production method for money, but after the glass was fired, she didn't dare to sell it directly.

It's not that she doesn't want to take it out, but because the production process of porcelain is not much different from that of pottery. Many people who can make pottery can get started immediately after almost remodeling the kiln after taking back the firing method of porcelain; The production process of glass is not very similar to that of pottery and porcelain, and there is a brand-new glass blowing technology in the middle. If you don't have enough experience, you don't dare to let people take it back for production.

You know, after the Mohists discovered the method of blowing glass, many people were injured during the glass blowing process.

So Lin Qian, after seeking the approval of the Mo family, decided to let those who intend to produce glass for sale first go to the workshop to study for a period of time, and then they can get the money to buy back the method of firing glass from her and the Mo family.

Before that, let people see the benefits of glass.

Lin Qian found Juzi of the Mo family and asked him to help burn many tiles according to the size of the tiles in the palace.

After everything was fired, she went directly to the palace to find Ying Zheng: "I don't think the light in the meeting hall is very good, or just replace some of it with the glass tiles that were just fired?"

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian who was much more reckless than before, and smiled: "Glass tiles? They were fired so quickly?"

Lin Qian nodded: "I asked Juzi and the others to burn the experimental equipment first. But just as the Mohists cannot devote all their energy to supplying the country's paper needs, they also cannot focus on producing glass. So I think first let people see the benefits of glass, and then those who intend to take over the business can buy the prescription with their own money."

Ying Zheng was not surprised: "It's like buying porcelain firing methods?"

Lin Qian smiled: "Yes."

Ying Zheng thought for a while: "It's not impossible. Anyway, the widow Ba Huaiqing and Wu Shiluo will also go to the court to discuss politics. They are businessmen. If they take over the glass business, they will definitely promote it. But before that, The widow should always see what the glass is."

Lin Qian nodded and was about to let someone pick it up.

Ying Zheng got up from the table and chair, moved his stiff neck, and took Lin Qian's hand and walked towards the gate of the palace.

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, her eyes fell on her hand that was intersecting with Ying Zheng's, and she didn't break away.

……

The Mojia workshop did not receive the news of Ying Zhenghui's arrival in advance, so it did not clean it in advance. The workshop was full of all kinds of strange objects, which looked a bit messy.

Ying Zheng looked at it and couldn't help frowning.

Lin Qian was a little amused: "They are used to putting all kinds of utensils where they can get them easily, if you send someone to inform you in advance, they will naturally not let you see such a mess. "

After Ying Zheng paused, he didn't say much.

He looked around: "Why don't you see Juzi of the Mo family?"

Lin Qian looked around and guessed: "There don't seem to be too many Mohists outside. They like to toss glass these days, maybe they are all in the glass-making workshop?"

So the two went directly to the room where the glass was made.

Almost as soon as they entered the room, the two of them felt the scorching heat. They got used to the door for a while before walking in.

Then, at a glance, I saw Juzi Mohist shaping the glass.

The two stepped forward and found that it was a whole piece of plate glass about the height of a person.

Worried that their presence would disturb Juzi of the Mo family, the two not only kept quiet, but also made a silent gesture to the others, telling them not to make any noise.

They waited for the two of them to stand by the side, waiting for Mo Jiajuzi to finish shaping the glass, and then walked over.

As soon as Ju Zi turned his head, he saw Ying Zheng and Lin Qian, and was immediately startled.

He was about to salute, but Ying Zheng waved his hand to stop him.

Ying Zheng stepped forward to look at the piece of glass, his eyes a little amazed: "This glass looks crystal clear, almost without any impurities, how is it fired?"

Mo Jiajuzi looked at Lin Qian and saw that she had no intention of speaking, so he explained: "It's just some common sand and stones. The raw materials are not difficult to find, but they need higher temperature, and although they have the characteristics of transparency, But it breaks very easily."

Ying Zheng didn't care about this shortcoming: "Ceramic tiles are also fragile, aren't they also widely used?"

He stood there admiring it for a while, and then proposed to take a look at the tiles made of glass.

As Lin Qian said, the light in the meeting hall is indeed not very good, especially in cloudy and rainy weather, the interior is even darker, and it is almost difficult to see the expressions of the ministers below. If the effect of the glass tiles is good enough , Yingzheng himself also wanted to replace the tiles of the meeting hall with transparent glass.

Lin Qian told Mohist Juzi about the usefulness of glass tiles at the beginning, which is equally important to Mohism, so when Ying Zheng asked to see the effect of glass tiles, Juzi directly pointed to the roof .

"If Your Majesty wants to see the effect of the glass tiles, just look up."

Ying Zheng raised his head immediately, and then saw a "big hole" in the middle of the roof, and he could see the sky directly from inside the house.

He was a little dazed, and after changing the angle, he managed to see clearly that the place that looked like nothing was actually made up of several glass tiles.

No wonder when I came in just now, I always felt that this workshop was much brighter than other smelting workshops.

Seeing this effect, Ying Zheng subconsciously thought of how good the light in the room would be if all the tiles on the roof of the meeting hall were replaced with this kind of transparent glass tiles.

Lin Qian seemed to see what he was thinking, and couldn't help laughing: "It is enough to replace part of it like a workshop. If it is completely replaced, once it is sunny, the direct sunlight of the sun is unbearable for ordinary people. Other seasons are fine. , but in summer even the morning sun is very hot, it is best not to replace all the tiles with glass tiles."

When Ying Zheng thought of the summer sun, he couldn't help but give up the idea of ​​replacing all the tiles with glass.

He looked at Juzi Mohist: "How much time will it take to replace only part of it?"

The Mohist Juzi looked at Ying Zheng: "It depends on how long it will take. But even if it is a complete replacement, one day is enough to send a few more masons to help. If the replacement area is small, it is not impossible to replace it in one or two hours." come down."

How many tiles can a palace have?What's more, you don't need to replace them all?

Ying Zheng, Lin Qian, and the Mohist Juzi discussed how many tiles they wanted to replace and how to change them, and then handed over the matter to the Mohist Juzi, and asked him to do so before tomorrow's court. finished.

……

On the next day, when the courtiers came to the meeting hall, they didn't notice anything wrong at first, but they just vaguely felt that the hall was brighter than before.

But no one cared about it, it was just because the weather was good today, so the light was better than usual.

Until a certain minister was waiting for the grand meeting to start, he accidentally glanced at the roof, and was shocked by what he saw: "My God, the person responsible for the maintenance of this conference hall Who the hell? Why didn’t someone even notice that the tiles on the roof were removed? That means it didn’t rain today, if it rained, the hall wouldn’t be flooded?”

Everyone was taken aback and looked up at the roof.

It was only then that everyone realized that there was a big hole right above where everyone was sitting and discussing.

Seeing that everyone was a little angry, Lin Qian quickly opened his mouth to explain: "That's not a big hole, it's..."

"Hey, that's not right, why do I think this hole was made on purpose? Don't you think the shape of this hole looks like a black bird?"

"When you put it that way, it really looks alike."

"Look at that extra tile, does it look like the eyes of a black bird?"

……

Lin Qian didn't even finish her sentence, but was overshadowed by other people's surprised voices.

The minister next to him noticed it, but he didn't quite believe Lin Qian's words: "Marquis Gu Feng, the roof is obviously a big hole, why do you think it's not?"

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "It's really not a big hole. It's a transparent material recently fired by the Mohists. It's hard and brittle. It can be fired not only into tiles, but also into other transparent objects. After your Majesty visited the Mohist House yesterday, he thought that replacing some of the glass tiles would brighten the hall of discussion, so he asked people to change them."

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Juzi of the Mohist school, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Juzi."

The conversation between the two was heard by the officials next to them, so they turned their heads to look at the Mo family Juzi who was opposite.

Li Si was originally worried about the hole in the roof, but suddenly noticed that many officials on the opposite side were looking in his direction, so he also looked down.

Just as he was about to ask, Ying Zheng came over.

Everyone fell silent for an instant.

After discussing the business, Yingzheng took the initiative to mention: "The tiles on this roof have been replaced by glass tiles, and the Mohists have no time to produce tiles and other glass products. If you want to do this business, you can go to the Mo family's giant."

The ministers of civil and military affairs looked at the Mohist Juzi in unison.

Juzi was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded in response.

Thinking that this matter had nothing to do with him, Lin Qian planned to leave directly after the court was over.

Unexpectedly, Huaiqing, the widow who had been silent all this time, suddenly came to her side: "Marquis Gu Feng, I intend to start this business, may I cooperate with you?"

==·Cooperation·==

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment: "Cooperate with me? If you want to start this business, you can go directly to the Mojia Juzi to buy prescriptions with money."

Huaiqing smiled: "The refining of this glass must have something to do with Gu Fenghou, right? These glasses are crystal clear and free of impurities. At first glance, it is a big business. Once the news of the refining method is released, There are bound to be people who are eyeing this business. At that time, everyone will be in this business, and it may not be possible to make much money."

Lin Qian looked at Huaiqing in astonishment: "Then why are you looking for me?"

Huaiqing said calmly: "I just want to get close to Gu Fenghou, and see if I can cooperate with you to start a unique business."

Lin Qian looked at Huaiqing hesitantly: "A unique business?"

Huaiqing smiled and said: "I know that Marquis Gu Feng has a lot of things to be busy with every day, and he can't spare time to manage business, otherwise you would have made a lot of money with all kinds of new things. My next thoughts Yes, Gu Fenghou has any unique recipes related to glass, as long as you provide the technology, I will take full responsibility for other businesses, and then you and I will split the bill [-]-[-]."

Not surprisingly, Lin Qian was tempted.

If you just give a prescription and you can do nothing, and you can get dividends, it would be very difficult for someone to refuse this deal.

What's more, the one who said this was the famous businessman Ba ​​Widow Huaiqing?

Lin Qian took a serious look at Huaiqing, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I really have a prescription here, and it has something to do with your previous cinnabar business."

Huaiqing was just trying his luck, but when he heard Lin Qian's words, he immediately widened his eyes in surprise: "I don't know what kind of business it is?"

Lin Qian smiled: "Mirror."

Huaiqing was stunned: "Mirror?"

She hesitated, "Aside from being made of glass, does the mirror in your mouth have other advantages?"

Worrying about Lin Qian's misunderstanding, Huai Qing seriously explained to her: "It's not that I don't believe in Gu Fenghou's ability and vision, but the mirror should not be considered a rare object. If the mirror you are talking about has no outstanding advantages, just Because it is made of glass, I am afraid that people will not be willing to spend money to buy it, and it may not make much money."

In fact, Huaiqing even felt that the mirror Ruogu Fenghou was talking about had no other advantages, and no one would even buy it——

After all, as Gu Fenghou mentioned before, the glass itself seems to be very fragile.

Bronze mirrors appeared in the Warring States Period, and craftsmen at this time could completely grind the bronze mirrors into a shape that could clearly see the facial features of the user by relying on a certain technique that has been lost to later generations.

If there is such a skilled craftsman, the bronze mirror can even be polished to the extent that the person looking at the mirror can see every detail.

It's no worse than an ordinary glass mirror.

Lin Qian naturally knew this, so he was very clear about Huaiqing's worries: "The raw materials for firing glass are just some common sand and stones, and the cost is extremely low, and the mirror I mentioned only needs to use glass besides glass. The mercury extracted from your cinnabar, and a kind of tin foil."

The production of tin foil paper has a long history in China. Although it did not appear in the Warring States Period, the production method of tin foil paper is not difficult.

The method Lin Qian said is to paste tinfoil on one side of the glass, and then pour mercury on it. The liquid metal of mercury will react with the metal tin in the tinfoil, and then coat the other side of the glass with a layer of mercury. A silvery substance that can reflect light.

In fact, this method has been produced in the later stage because the production time is higher than other methods, and the reflectivity is not as high as that of the silver mirror. The silver mirror is produced by the reaction of the silver mirror, and the aluminum wire is vacuum vaporized and then attached to the glass plate. However, under the current conditions, the silver mirror reaction and the vacuum vaporization of aluminum wires are difficult to achieve, so she still chose this obsolete production method.

After speaking, Lin Qian told Huaiqing how to make tin foil.

After Huaiqing listened, he immediately realized the advantages of this kind of mirror——

cheap price.

Although it has been said that this method of making mirrors takes a long time, it is compared with the other two methods of making glass mirrors. If compared with the production time of a bronze mirror at this time, the time it takes for a glass mirror is simply It is a fraction of the bronze mirror.

If you want to grind out a bronze mirror that can reflect all the hairs on a human face, it will take even longer——

After all, copper itself is not silver, and its surface is even less likely to be as smooth as glass.

Huaiqing wanted to go back and start producing tinfoil and mirrors almost immediately, but she forcibly suppressed this urge, instead looked at Lin Qian calmly, and proposed to sign a contract with her first.

Lin Qian noticed Huaiqing's reaction, and couldn't help giving her a high look: she is so calm and calm, and she can maintain her disposition when she sees huge benefits.

The two quickly signed a contract.

When he was about to say goodbye, Lin Qian looked at Huaiqing's face and suddenly became curious: "Other people at your age should have enjoyed the happiness at home long ago? Why did you take the initiative to open up new business?"

Even if it is to continue to guard the business of Danxue, it is easier and more leisurely than opening up a new business, right?

Huaiqing was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand to stroke the white hair on the sideburns: "The alchemy point of my husband's house has been mined for dozens or hundreds of years, and no one can tell how much cinnabar there is in it. My descendants open up a business, and when the pill hole is hollowed out, there will be no other way out."

Lin Qian paused, not knowing what to say.

Huaiqing laughed when he saw this: "Don't think too much about Gu Fenghou. Although I said so, descendants have their own blessings. If I really can't do it anymore, I won't force myself to compromise myself for the sake of my descendants. My own I really like this kind of busy life.”

Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not bad."

She respected Mrs. Huaiqing quite a bit, so after thinking about it, she took the initiative to tell her about the other two mirror-making processes she knew, as well as the various raw materials needed.

At the end, Lin Qian said with a smile: "If these two methods can be put into production, the cost and price of the mirror will be reduced."

But here's the problem-

If you want to put these two methods into production, not only do you need to overcome many difficulties, but the equipment is also a big problem.

But the mirror is not a necessity of life. Whether it is the current Mohists or those alchemists who have gradually touched the edge of chemistry and are getting better, they are extremely precious treasures to Lin Qian. She does not want them to Spend more time researching these things.

Fertilizers and steam engines are the current top priority.

But tell Huaiqing the method and raw materials, if she can research the other two methods, Lin Qian will naturally not refuse——

This is good for both Huaiqing's descendants and the people of the Qin Dynasty.

Not long after this cooperation was concluded, Huaiqing really asked the Mohist Juzi to spend money to buy the glass refining recipe.

Afterwards, like others, he sent some ingenious craftsmen to the Mohist workshop to help. After finishing their studies, he bought a piece of land near the coal mine outside the city. After building the workshop, he began to study the method of making mirrors.

Because the price of glass is cheap, many shops specializing in selling glass soon appeared in major business districts.

At the beginning, the common people just looked at it curiously. After they knew that a piece of glass with a square foot can be bought for only a few dollars, or even a piece of glass tile, the glass products in these shops were quickly favored by the common people. warm welcome.

But the most popular are glass windows.

Especially those rich people who insist on brightening their homes are willing to give up. They often buy several glass windows at once.

Ah Chun is going to get married soon, and the lover is the soldier who saved her back then.

Although she herself was shy at the time, she didn't ask about the situation at the soldier's home, but she worked in the textile factory, and the soldier was sent to take care of the safety of the textile factory, so she came and went, Ah Chun was still the same. He took the initiative to muster up the courage to ask the soldier if he was married and the specific situation at home.

The soldier noticed Ah Chun, the little girl who often secretly looked at him, but he never thought of her liking him.

So when Ah Chun took the initiative to attack, the soldier himself blushed.

Ah Chun was beautiful and lovely, so he naturally liked it.

After getting along for a period of time, the two quickly told each other's parents, and found a matchmaker to match them, and set a date for their marriage.

Unfortunately, just a few days before they were about to get married, a few tiles suddenly fell from the roof of the soldier's house.

Although the parents of the family escaped in time and were not injured, the superstitious two always felt that this was a bad omen, so they clamored to postpone the wedding——

If it weren't for the fact that the son really liked the girl, the soldier's parents might have wanted to withdraw the engagement directly.

But the soldier has a very good relationship with Ah Chun. Compared with the reserved Ah Chun, he is the one who wants to marry his sweetheart back home as soon as possible.

So during this time, he has been in a bad mood.

Also because of reluctance in his heart, he did not agree to the idea of ​​delaying the marriage, and he did not inform Ah Chun and his family of his intentions at all——

It's not irresponsible, it's just...he wants to get married on time.

On this day, when his friend learned of his distress, he directly invited him to hang out and relax, and told countless jokes along the way, but no matter what, he couldn't make the soldier let go of his worries.

That friend is different from soldiers, not only did he make some military achievements on the battlefield in the early years, but he is also literate.

So after the unification of the world, he went directly to the Academy to study Qin Law, and now he has successfully served as a small official under the Ting Wei's office, and he is still valued by the Ting Wei.

He asked for leave this time and came back dejectedly, which made Ting Wei Zhang Liang curious.

Zhang Liangduo asked a few words, and couldn't help laughing when he learned the reason: "This matter sounds very embarrassing, but in fact, it only takes a few dollars to completely turn the situation around, and it's not worth it for you and your friends to worry about it." sad."

When the friend heard this, he anxiously asked: "I don't know what advice Ting Wei has?"

==·Death·==

Seeing the eagerness of Deli's subordinates, Zhang Liang smiled, and pointed him to a clear path: "Didn't you say that your best friend's parents wanted to postpone the wedding because they thought it would be bad for the tiles to fall a few days before the wedding? Isn't there an excellent opportunity to convince your friend's parents right now?"

The friend was puzzled: "What opportunity?"

Zhang Liang pointed to the roof of the government office: "Look at what is above our heads?"

The friend raised his head and saw the replaced glass tiles on the roof of the government office. He was stunned for a moment, and then said pleasantly: "I understand, thank you Tingwei!"

After speaking, he asked for a leave of absence again, went straight to the business district, bought ten glass tiles, and went to the soldier's house.

The soldier was arguing with his parents and was about to quarrel, when he suddenly pushed the door open, the family of three immediately turned their heads and looked over.

The friend took ten glass tiles and handed them to the soldiers' parents: "Amin is getting married soon, and I don't know what gift to give. I just heard that some tiles fell from your house a few days ago, so I just went to buy them." Ten glass tiles. After these tiles are installed, the whole room will become bright, when Amin’s wedding guests come in and take a look, oh, what a face!”

He just pretended that he had never heard about the rescheduling of his uncle and aunt, and said with a smile, "After our Ting Wei heard about it, he also said that the tiles in your house fell in time. This is because we can't wait to let A Ming get married. The sun is shining!"

Amin's parents were taken aback, their eyes fell on the tiles in the hands of their friends, and their eyes lit up instantly.

"Yes, yes, I heard that those glass shops opened on the day when the tiles fell in our house. Maybe this is a reminder that we should buy more glass tiles so that Amin and Achun's marriage It's even more lively!"

"That's right, I heard that our family is the only one in Xianyang City who is going to get married recently. If we change the tiles at this time, we will be the only ones among the people in Xianyang City!"

The knot was untied, and the couple who had insisted on changing the date of marriage immediately began to prepare for the wedding happily.

……

On the day of the wedding, the guests came to have a feast, and they soon discovered the bright room of A Ming's house.

At first, these people, like courtiers, thought that there was a big hole in his house. After Amin's parents explained, all the guests were amazed and looked at the sky curiously from the house. It was a burst of exclamation.

The wedding was indeed as lively as A Ming's parents imagined, which made their family shine.

And the influence of this wedding is also quite large——

The guests who left Amin's house that day rushed to the business district almost as soon as they stepped out of the door.

When they arrived at the shops, everyone discovered that there were not only tiles of various sizes in these shops——

Because one of the glass products in everyone's mind is tiles, when those people fired glass, they subconsciously fired tiles.

In addition to tiles, there are various transparent glass items.

Because all places are filled with glass products, the whole shop looks crystal clear. When the sunlight comes in from the window and falls on various glass products, after various refraction and reflection processes, the shop is full of colorful brilliance. Unknowingly strayed into it, in a trance, I would think that I had entered a dangerous situation.

Because they don't have much money in their pockets, the common people tend to show timidity when they enter the shop, but now they find that the shop is so gorgeous inside, and everyone becomes extra cautious.

Many people even wanted to turn around and run away——

The things inside are not affordable at first glance!

Coincidentally, the shop that these people entered happened to be the one opened by Huaiqing and Lin Qian. The waiter in this shop was also suggested by Lin Qian, and the attitude towards every customer was quite good.

So when the waiter saw that the customer was about to leave, he immediately stopped him and said, "Guests, don't rush to leave. The price of the goods in this shop is cheap, and it doesn't cost much at all. If nothing else, then A foot-wide glass window costs only ten dollars, and glass tiles, which are very popular nowadays, can be bought for only one dollar.”

"Even if you buy a piece and put it on the roof of the kitchen, you can see clearly when your wife and daughter are cooking!"

The customer who was about to turn around and leave immediately stopped when he heard the price: "You are telling the truth, a piece of glass tile only costs one price?"

Seeing the expressions of other people, the waiter immediately went to get a piece of glass tile: "How can I still lie to you? A tile of this size, one piece, one piece of money!"

The people became excited in an instant, and they rushed to the counter without caring about other things.

When these bought the glass tiles and went home, others saw the benefits of the glass tiles, and couldn't wait to rush into the shop——

Recently, corn was just being harvested, and the people had little money in their families, so they were naturally willing to buy one or two glass tiles to take home.

Lin Qian didn't know about this until Huaiqing found her and praised her for her outstanding vision.

But even Lin Qian never thought that glass tiles would be the most sold item: after all, the most common glass products in modern times are all kinds of cups and windows, and glass tiles have almost disappeared in cities with high-rise buildings everywhere.

But thinking that the glass tiles he sent to make are so popular, Lin Qian is also very happy.

It's a pity that not long after her happiness passed, she heard something——

The Empress Dowager Zhao, who had been imprisoned in Ganquan Palace since the fall of Zhao State, suddenly heard the news that she was dead.

Lin Qian immediately put down all her official duties and returned to the palace with her people.

Ying Zheng was not in the main hall.

Lin Qian turned around and went straight to Ganquan Palace.

Before arriving at the destination, Lin Qian saw people coming and going around Ganquan Palace, and all of them had solemn expressions without any strange expression.

Lin Qian stopped a palace lady: "Is Your Majesty inside?"

Gong'e nodded again and again: "Your Majesty is in the courtyard of Ganquan Palace, Madam can see it when she enters the door."

After Lin Qian thanked her, she rushed in immediately.

Lin Mo followed behind, not daring to stop for half a step, but before stepping into the gate of Ganquan Palace, Lin Qian stopped.

Lin Mo almost missed directly.

Looking up, I found the reason——

His Majesty was standing at the gate of the courtyard, as if he had no intention of going in at all.

Lin Mo froze for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian looked at Ying Zheng's appearance, hesitated for a moment, then turned to Lin Mo and said, "You stay outside and don't come in for now."

Lin Mo nodded, pulled Wang Qiang and left Ganquan Palace.

Lin Qian walked up to Ying Zheng, and asked softly for a while, "Are you okay?"

Ying Zheng looked back at Lin Qian, as if he hadn't gotten out of his previous emotions, so his eyes were a little dazed.But when he saw Lin Qian worryingly holding the trumpet Ying Zheng's trumpet Lin Qian above his head, he pulled away from his thoughts in an instant.

He smiled: "What's wrong? She left, but I was relieved."

Lin Qian paused, but became more and more worried.

Ying Zheng looked at her helplessly, without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek: "I'm really fine, I just remembered the days when I lived with her in the country of Zhao in the early years. So affected."

Lin Qian looked at him and reminded: "You didn't call yourself 'widow' just now."

Ying Zheng was stunned, and after a while, the smile on his face disappeared.

Lin Qian looked at him, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand: "Do you want to go in and see her for the last time?"

Ying Zheng held Lin Qian's hand back, took a deep breath and looked at the main hall of Ganquan Palace: "I didn't want to go, but since you asked like this, it seems a bit bad if you don't go in."

Lin Qian looked at him seriously: "If you really don't want to go, no one can force you."

She just felt that Ying Zheng's appearance at this time needed a farewell.

Ying Zheng grabbed Lin Qian's hand tightly, and without opening his mouth, he raised his foot and took her hand towards the main hall of Ganquan Palace.

Unlike other palaces that Lin Qian had seen before, the decoration in Ganquan Palace was quite luxurious. Every corner of the entire hall was stuffed with valuables such as gold and jade, and there was a sense of luxury from the inside to the outside.

Just like the Zhao Palace that Lin Qian had seen before.

After entering the main hall, the two quickly came to the sleeping place behind——

It was heard that Queen Mother Zhao died in her sleep, but it saved the maids from moving her to the bed.

The two walked around the screen and entered, and the busy maids inside knelt down to salute one after another, and then immediately retreated in order.

Now, there are only two living people left in this bedroom, Ying Zheng and Lin Qian.

There is also the corpse of Queen Mother Zhao alone.

When Lin Qian lived in the hospital in her previous life, she saw dead people almost every day——

Most of them are heart patients like myself.

She could have been able to remain untouched when facing other people's corpses, but seeing Queen Mother Zhao lying there quietly, Lin Qian couldn't help feeling a little worried and sad, and subconsciously turned her head to look at the corpse. Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng just looked at Queen Mother Zhao expressionlessly, as if the death of the woman in front of him did not cause any ripples in his heart.

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, and let go of Ying Zheng's hand: "Should I go out first?"

Ying Zheng frowned, but nodded after meeting Lin Qian's concerned eyes: "You just wait outside for the widow, the widow will come out soon."

Lin Qian nodded and walked out directly.

……

After Lin Qian came out of the dormitory, she stood outside for a while, then grabbed a palace lady and asked who the empress dowager trusted most during her lifetime, and asked her to bring him to her.

After a while, the maid called a middle-aged woman.

After avoiding the other party's salute, Lin Qian took him to a corner and asked, "Isn't Queen Mother Zhao well before? Why did she leave suddenly?"

The woman looked up at Lin Qian, as if wondering about her identity and weight.

After a long while, the middle-aged woman said, "Since the Zhao Kingdom was destroyed and the Zhao family left without saying goodbye, the Empress Dowager has been depressed, and her health has fluctuated from good to bad."

Lin Qian frowned, and looked at her suspiciously: "The Shaofu has no record of the empress dowager asking the imperial physician to check her pulse."

The imperial physicians are also under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, and each imperial physician's consultation process needs to be recorded and filed, and handed over to himself at the end of each month for review. Lin Qian is well aware of the fact that the Queen Mother Zhao has rarely invited imperial physicians in the past two years.

Except for the imperial physician, the Empress Dowager Zhao's diet is not much different from the past.

What's more, in order to replenish Ying Zheng's body, Lin Qian took out many recipes that are not available now, and they appeared in the daily recipes of the Queen Mother Zhao of Ganquan Palace many times.

The woman guessed Lin Qian's identity, so she no longer concealed it: "The queen mother's mental state was not bad before, and she could still think about every meal every day. Her state began to deteriorate, which should be caused by Mrs. Zhao and others. After leaving the palace, when I heard that the barren wives remarried, I was depressed all the time, until I heard that a lady whose son had grown up also asked His Majesty to marry me and remarry..."

She took a careful look at Lin Qian, and said in a low voice, "The Queen Mother's body plummeted, and soon she couldn't drink any tea."

Lin Qian frowned: "Why don't you call me a doctor?"

The woman became even more nervous: "The queen mother refused to let me. During the period after she fell ill, she was always talking about what she did wrong, and she always said things like what shouldn't be done and what should be done. But I didn't dare to listen carefully. So I can't tell Mrs.

Lin Qian waved his hand, but did not ask whether the woman was genuine or not.

Because there is no need to ask, she can guess what the four "how" in this sentence are: it is nothing more than that Ying Zheng should not be betrayed at the beginning, but should take Lao Ai and the two children away.
