Turbulent Times Chapter 129: The Insomnia Queen

Although the system of three provinces and six ministries had been implemented in the Sui Dynasty, the number of memorials that Yang Jian reviewed every day was still huge. Usually he would be busy until the time of Hai, and then started reviewing memorials on time at 3:00 in the morning.

At this time, he reviewed it for an hour at a time, and felt a little tired. Seeing that there were not many memorials on the table, only a dozen thin books were left, he flipped through them casually, and there was no urgent matter, so he got up and prepared Go and see Queen Dugu.

Dugu Jialuo's condition has not been getting better. Recently, he suddenly couldn't sleep and didn't rest well. As a result, his body was getting worse day by day, and he couldn't last much time. As the time of losing Dugu Jialuo approached, the sadness in Yang Jian's heart Also day by day.

Thinking about his old wife's condition, Yang Jian sighed, and ordered: "Get ready to drive to Shenju Palace."

At this time, an old **** came hurriedly, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Qin An is here to see you! He said he has something important to report to His Majesty."

"Oh! Wang Junlin is here again." Yang Jian only wanted to see Dugu Jialuo at this time, and wanted Wang Junlin to wait outside, but suddenly remembered that a foreign official reported last night that Wang Junlin's medical skills Very wise, he ordered: "declare him to see him!"

On the square of the main hall, the **** named Baishi brought Wang Junlin to the Xuanzheng Hall quickly. Apart from some rules and taboos in the palace, he glanced left and right and saw that there was no one around, then he whispered to Wang Junlin: "Master Hou, the queen is seriously ill these few days, so your majesty is not in a good mood, it's normal Under the circumstances, this meeting was originally to go to Shenju Palace to see the queen, but now because you came, it was changed to meet Lord Hou, so if what Lord Hou said does not satisfy His Majesty, His Majesty may be displeased. Judging by His Majesty's face, it is best not to take too long, and finish the matter early."

"Thank you for reminding me, father-in-law. I will remember it." Wang Junlin said gratefully. At the same time, he stuffed an agate into Baishi's hand without any trace, and the smile on the latter's face became even brighter.

They walked into the Xuanzheng side hall and came to the imperial study. Baishi's task was completed, he turned and left, and an old **** guarding the door went in to report. See you in King's Landing."

Wang Junlin quickly tidied up his official uniform, and walked quickly into the imperial study. Yang Jian did not review the memorial at this time, but closed his eyes and rested his mind, waiting for Wang Junlin to arrive.

"Your Majesty is taking care of a lot of things every day, and my minister Wang Junlin is terrified for disturbing Your Majesty. Please forgive me!" After the **** named Baishi mentioned it earlier, Wang Junlin respectfully saluted as soon as he entered the door, and said loudly.

Yang Jian slowly opened his eyes, and said lightly: "You know I'm busy, so tell me! Why did you come to see me today?"

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of knowing that there is an iron shop that has sold a large amount of pig iron to the northern nomads in recent years. I know the importance of this matter, and I have come to report it to Your Majesty."

When Yang Jian heard this, his expression changed immediately, and he snorted coldly: "How dare you sell pig iron to the northern savages, how courageous you are!"

"Your Majesty, I can assure you that this is indeed the case, but there is still no evidence. I am very worried for Your Majesty, so I am in a hurry to report to Your Majesty, and at the same time, I implore Your Majesty to entrust this matter to you to investigate and deal with. "

Yang Jian suddenly thought of something, looked at Wang Junlin for a moment, his anger gradually subsided, but his expression became colder, and he said: "Is there a certain minister behind this iron shop?"

Wang Junlin seemed to have expected Yang Jian to ask this question, and immediately said solemnly: "Return to Your Majesty, this...is very possible."

Yang Jian took a deep look at Wang Junlin and said, "Wang Junlin, it is very good that you can report this matter to me in time. I will send a team of officials to cooperate with you to investigate this matter. I want to know the two The first thing is, who is the manipulator behind this scene? The second is that we must obtain evidence of selling pig iron to foreign races."

Speaking of this, Yang Jian paused for a moment, and then said: "Hou Guan's identity is kept secret, and he appears as your servant guard."

Wang Junlin was overjoyed, Yang Jian's arrangement was exactly what he wanted, and he immediately said firmly: "My subject, Wang Junlin, will follow His Majesty's will."

Yang Jian nodded, the matter is over, Wang Junlin was about to leave, when Yang Jian suddenly looked sad, looked at Wang Junlin and said: "I heard that you are not only excellent in poisoning, but also in medicine Gao Ming. The queen is already seriously ill. I don’t know why she has been restless these days, it’s hard to fall asleep, and her body can’t get rest, which makes her condition worse. Now you follow me to Shenju Palace to give the queen a diagnosis.”

Wang Junlin groaned in his heart, he didn't know much about medical skills, he just knew some advanced medical theories and had some research on poisons. But he knew that because last year's treatment of wounded soldiers and the establishment of Wang's Hospital in Gaotai City had already spread, if he denied it at this time, not only would Yang Jian not believe it, but he would not like it, so he pondered for a while and said cautiously: "I just Know some medical skills."

Yang Jian obviously thought that Wang Junlin was being modest, and nodded to him, and then arranged for the left and right servants: "Show me, go to Shenju Palace."

After speaking, he took the lead to walk out of the imperial study room, and a large group of eunuchs, door guards, etc. had already followed. Wang Junlin had no choice but to take two quick steps, and followed Yang Jian with the old **** to the Shenju Palace. go.

Not long after, a group of people came to Shenju Palace, and Wang Junlin saw Princess Leping Yang Lihua coming out of Shenju Palace from a distance, with a sad face and red eyes, as if she had just cried. Wang Junlin has long known that Dugu Jialuo acts domineeringly. Whether it is the former prince Yang Yong or the current prince Yang Guang, he has always been harsh and harsh, especially with Yang Yong every time.

It can be said that Queen Dugu played a key role in the decision-making of the crown prince Yang Yong who abolished the eldest son and the second son Jin Wang Yang Guang. Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo had placed great expectations on the eldest son, Crown Prince Yang Yong. However, Yang Yong has always acted rashly and informally, which conflicts with Dugu Jialuo's always serious style. Yang Yong also likes sensuality, but the East Palace has no legitimate sons, especially the bad treatment of the crown princess has caused strong dissatisfaction with Empress Dugu. Yang Yong's series of actions seriously violated Empress Dugu's political philosophy of emphasizing the eldest son, emphasizing the marriage relationship of aristocratic families, and ensuring the stable transition of patriarchal power.

But Yang Lihua is the only exception. Dugu Jialuo loves him as much as he can, and Yang Lihua also has a deep affection for her mother. Now that Dugu Jialuo's condition is getting worse, she is naturally very sad.

The two sides met in the square in front of the Shenju Palace. Yang Lihua and Yang Jian's father and daughter greeted each other with red eyes. Yang Jian saw that his daughter had just cried, so he sighed and comforted him. Wang Junlin's glance made the latter's heart jump.

Yang Lihua showed no abnormality in her expression and behavior when facing Wang Junlin. At this time, she bowed deeply to Wang Junlin and said: "My mother has not recovered from her illness for a long time, and now she is getting more and more haggard. She is bewitched by ghosts and ghosts. I can't rest, I can't sleep at night, I have heard for a long time that Marquis Qin An has great powers, profound knowledge, and excellent medical skills, I hope that Marquis Qin An can cure the queen mother's illness, at least let the queen mother have a way to sleep peacefully, even for one night."

He heard Yang Jian say that Dugu Jialuo couldn't sleep in the imperial study before, but he didn't take it to heart at the time, but now he heard Yang Lihua say it again, thinking about the help and affection this woman gave him, Wang Junlin immediately Seriously, but he is not a magician after all, and there are some things he can't do anything about, he can only talk about it after reading it.

"I will do my best."

To be honest, Wang Junlin actually doesn't want to deal with this kind of matter, because it may involve royal secrets, and the less the royal family knows, the better. It's not good to get involved, only bad.

At this time, there was a faint noise in Shenju Palace, Yang Jian frowned, and asked, "What is this doing inside?"

Yang Lihua withdrew her gaze from Wang Junlin, and said, "Master Zhiren said that the empress was caused by excessive thinking, and that her weak mind caused the invasion of foreign demons, so the empress will let him do something."

While Yang Jian and his daughter were talking, Wang Junlin already had some thoughts in his mind.

The simpler method is to prepare Mafeisan and give it to Dugu Jialuo, and it will immediately fall asleep, ensuring that there will be no dreams, but this is a temporary solution, not a permanent cure. Moreover, Wang Junlin contacted Dugu Jialuo, who killed too many people in his life, especially the daughters of the harem who died at his hands, so he guessed that the culprit that caused Dugu Jialuo to be unable to sleep may be his own sins. If you don't get rid of your inner demons, you will still commit them sooner or later.

After all, the queen's bedroom is different from other places, not to mention that Dugu Jialuo is so domineering, even if Yang Jian didn't ask for Dugu Jialuo's consent, he couldn't directly bring Wang Junlin, an adult man who has no close relationship with him, into it. So Yang Jian and Yang Lihua entered the Shenju Palace, and Wang Junlin waited at the door alone.

Taking advantage of this short time, Wang Junlin took a closer look at the Shenju Palace, and found that the Shenju Palace occupies a huge area, occupying a third of the width of the palace horizontally, and is completely surrounded by tall walls. It is simply a palace within a palace, from which one can see how domineering Dugu Jialuo is.

When Wang Junlin received the notice and followed an **** into the Shenju Palace, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and there was a new wind blowing from the north, passing over the treetops, and there was a whimpering sound, making it look empty Hovering over the Kamiju Palace.

Maybe it was because the **** stick who was doing the work inside said that there were ghosts, foreign demons and other unclean things. .

Wang Junlin stood at the gate, seeing this scene with a look of astonishment on his face, wondering if this is a **** scene from a horror movie.
