Chapter 608 The Queen Mother's Test
Shen Xia saw that the Queen Mother cared so much about the princess mother, and it seemed that they had a good relationship.
But she and her mother often chatted, and she had not heard anything about the Empress Dowager. Judging from this, it seemed that their relationship was not good.
Just now I saw the Queen Mother coming out of that room. There were indeed Buddha statues inside, but the statues seemed a little strange. They were not the Buddha statues she usually knew.
The Queen Mother saw Shen Xia was in a daze: "What is Anping thinking about?"
Shen Xia smiled and said, "No, I just thought that the Queen Mother's devotion to Buddhism for the sake of the people of Liming is truly a boundless love."
The Queen Mother listened and smiled, "I am old now. I can only pray for His Majesty. There is nothing else I can do to help him."
The two of them chatted here and there.
Then he gave some things to Shen Xia.
There was a set of very precious gold head ornaments, a rare red coral, and a bracelet that the empress dowager took off her hand. She said that she had worn it for many years and had asked for it in the temple.
Shen Xia is grateful.
But after they chatted for a long time, Shen Xia still didn't understand why the Queen Mother wanted to see her.
Is it really because you haven't seen her before, so you want to call her over to meet you?
Just as Shen Xia was thinking this.
The Queen Mother changed the subject and said, "I heard that Anping's medical skills are good."
Shen Xia said modestly: "No, I just know a little bit."
"Really? Then Anping, please feel my pulse and see how I am feeling."
"Anping is worried about whether it's accurate?"
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's alright, just take a look. I won't blame you if you can't get it right."
Shen Xia nodded: "Then Anping is offended." After saying that,
Then Aunt Chang next to her took out a handkerchief and placed it on the table.
Then the Queen Mother put her hand on it.
Nanny Chang was about to put another handkerchief on it.
The Queen Mother stopped him and said, "Anping, there's no need to take my pulse."
Only then did Nanny Chang take the handkerchief back.
Shen Xia gently raised her hand and placed her index and middle fingers on the Queen Mother's pulse.
Shen Xia concentrated on feeling the Queen Mother's pulse.
Without a trace of expression.
Even though I felt it wasn't quite right, I didn't show it.
In a moment, he put down his hand.
Then he slowly spoke: "The Queen Mother is in good health, there is no problem, and her blood is sufficient. Her pulse is also very strong, very youthful. It seems that the Queen Mother takes good care of herself."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Well, as long as you are healthy, that's good. By the way, I heard from people in the palace that Anping has a unique way of testing paternity."
Shen Xia smiled and said, "I also learned from Cui Shenyi."
“Oh, I haven’t heard of it before.”
"Well, Master said that internal technology must not be passed on to outsiders, so no one outside has heard of it. If Anping says this, I'm afraid he will be punished when he sees Master in the future."
The Queen Mother was surprised: "Divine Doctor Cui is your master."
"Yes! Otherwise, how could Anping know medical skills in the countryside!"
"Oh! I see. Don't worry! You were just talking and it didn't get out. It's okay."
Shen Xia looked worried: "I hope so!"
The Queen Mother continued, "I heard that you said that the hair of two people can check whether they are related by parents."
Shen Xia nodded: "Yes."
"Oh, Anping's medical skills are really good. If the person is dead, can you still find out?" the Queen Mother asked casually.
Shen Xia knew something was wrong when she heard this, but she said without hesitation, "People are dead, this is definitely not okay!"
A hint of relief flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes.
He smiled and said, "What about the aunt and nephew?"
Shen Xia smiled and said, "No! Only close relatives can do that."
Shen Xia felt something was wrong and lied immediately. In fact, these could be tested, but she always felt that the Queen Mother was not asking for fun and must have some plan, so she couldn't tell the truth.
He said that his entire back felt a little wet.
The Empress Dowager had seen everything in the harem, even though she had never participated in the struggle for power among the many concubines in the harem.
But at this age, if you want to lie to her, you must be mentally prepared.
The Queen Mother looked into Shen Xia's eyes, trying to see whether she was lying.
But looking at her eyes, which were ten times ten similar to those of the eldest princess.
I wasn't panicking.
He smiled and said, "This is the first time I've heard of this method, so I'm curious and want to ask."
Shen Xia smiled and said, "It's normal. People are curious about new things, and Anping is the same."
Shen Xia talked for a while in the palace.
Finally, the Queen Mother asked Shen Xia to go to the palace to play whenever she had time.
After all, she also grew up in the palace when she was a child.
Shen Xia agreed on the surface.
Then Nanny Chang escorted Shen Xia out of the Cining Palace.
When I went in before.
Jixiang and Ruyi did not follow in.
So Nanny Chang brought the palace maids around her to the door, and then gave the reward to Jixiang Ruyi.
Send Shen Xia out of the palace.
Then she asked a little palace maid next to her to lead the way to the door.
Nanny Chang just went back.
Nanny Chang went back and saw the empress dowager with a cold expression on her face.
He was completely different from his previous amiable self.
“You sent them all out.”
"Yes, Queen Mother."
"Ah."
In fact, when the Queen Mother first heard about this strange theory of paternity test, she was shocked.
But now I ask, I feel relieved that the dead cannot be examined.
In fact, she shouldn't have gone out to ask, but she thought that she happened to be in the palace.
Just ask casually as if you were just chatting.
Anyway, she didn't give Anping any rewards after she came back, so it made sense.
I don't think a country girl like this would dare to lie in front of her.
She doesn't have Gu Xi's shrewdness and scheming.
Shen Xia didn't say a word all the way.
He walked calmly towards the palace gate with good luck and good fortune.
I didn't say a word the whole way, and kept thinking about what the Queen Mother meant by that.
Looking back now, how could I not let her worry.
Walk all the way to the palace gate.
She didn't notice and just kept walking forward.
Someone just pulled me.
Shen Xia was frightened and screamed: "Ah........"
Song Yun looked at Shen Xia in confusion: "Xia Xia, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Xia saw Song Yun sighing softly: "Fourth brother..."
Song Yun frowned and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
Shen Xia looked at the guard next to him, then quickly explained with a smile: "It's okay, I was thinking about something, but you suddenly pulled me, which scared me. It's okay, it's okay, haha..."
Song Yun didn't believe what Shen Xia said at all, but it was not a convenient place to talk.
Then he nodded: "Well, it's my fault that I shouldn't have scared you so suddenly. Let's go! I'm also resigning, let's go back together."
Shen Xia nodded: "Okay! Where's the second brother? Aren't you guys together today?"
Song Yun smiled and said, "Second brother has gone back. I'm waiting for you here. I heard that you haven't gone back yet."
"okay!"
Shen Xia then thanked the palace maid behind her and left.
