Chapter 792: Past, Contracting the Mountains for Treasure Hunt
In the next two years, Meng Chaoming traveled back and forth between the capital and the southern border on official business, but unfortunately he never got any more information about the colorful Ganoderma lucidum.
As time went by, He Qiu slowly accepted this reality, and even kindly comforted Meng Chaoming: "General Meng, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you can't find it. Maybe it's just a legend. You lead troops to fight for the country and the people, don't let such a small matter affect your job."
Meng Chaoming reluctantly agreed...
Yun Mujiu concentrated, the queen mother did not say anything about what happened later. Yun Mujiu estimated that the major events that happened to the queen mother and other elders later were nothing more than some more notable things.
Meng Chaoming was promoted to a higher position and led troops to fight. He Qiu got married and stayed at the border for several years until Meng Wanzhou was born. When Meng Wanzhou was a few years old, he returned to the capital. Later, Meng Shihao was born.
In addition, before Meng Chaoming got married, Xuan Nianci participated in the palace selection and then became a concubine in the palace. He Qiu, who was supposed to participate in the palace selection with the queen mother, missed the selection due to a serious illness. After recovering, Meng Chaoming took the initiative to break the window paper of their relationship, and then with He Qiu's consent, he gave He Qiu a letter of engagement.
After the Queen Mother finished talking about the colorful Ganoderma lucidum, she picked up the teacup and took sips of the tea.
The Queen Mother lowered her head slightly. Yun Mujiu couldn't see the Queen Mother's expression, but her intuition told her that there was something that the Queen Mother hadn't told her yet...
The Queen Mother was a person in the palace, and had no blood relationship or interest connection with her. Moreover, the Queen Mother's son, the Emperor, was full of hostility towards her and Ye Xiaohan.
Considering all the circumstances, it was only natural that the Queen Mother would keep her words to her with reservations.
Maybe if the Queen Mother kept it from her, no one else, not even the Emperor, would know what secrets the Queen Mother had...
Yun Mujiu picked up the teacup and pretended to blow on it, as if she thought the tea was too hot. She held the teacup for a long time but didn't drink much of it.
The last time she entered the palace, the food that the Queen Mother arranged for her was fine. Later, she was called to Fengyi Palace by the Queen, and she did not drink a single sip of the tea in the Queen's palace, but poured the tea into the handkerchief inside her sleeve. After returning to the Yewang Mansion, she and Du Ziheng each checked the handkerchief and found that there was nothing wrong with the tea that the Queen gave her.
Yun Mujiu was a little surprised at that time. Why was there no problem with the tea this time? She thought the queen would continue to give her poison that would kill her offspring.
Yun Mujiu couldn't understand why the first time she went to Fengyi Palace since she traveled through time, the queen gave her a bracelet that would end her childlessness. And after the Spring Festival Banquet, the queen specially sent her a batch of drugs to prepare for pregnancy.
And the last time she entered the palace, the Queen wanted her to stay overnight for some reason, and even wanted to talk to her under the pretext of visiting the Queen Mother.
"Mu Jiu." The Queen Mother's call brought Yun Mu Jiu's thoughts back to reality.
"Empress Dowager." Yun Mujiu put down the teacup and looked straight at the Empress Dowager.
"I have something else I haven't told you." The Queen Mother smiled calmly, as if she had thought of something. Through the description just now, the idea in her mind became clearer and clearer.
"Queen Mother, may I ask what is the matter?" Yun Mujiu asked politely, showing a curious look on his face, giving the Queen Mother enough face.
"I forgot to tell you that when I saw this Ganoderma lucidum just now, I had a guess. Do you know where your grandfather got the Ganoderma lucidum from?"
"Queen, didn't Grandfather say that he got it from his old subordinates?"
"Then do you know how his subordinates got the Ganoderma lucidum?"
"Mu Jiu doesn't know, I hope the Queen Mother can teach me." At that time, time was urgent in the Meng Mansion, and she was busy going to the palace to see the Queen Mother for a follow-up visit. I don't know if she was too busy and didn't have time to talk to her grandfather, or if her grandfather wanted to tell her something later, so her grandfather didn't tell her too much about the gift.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "When your grandfather was young and stationed in the southern frontier, he used his salary to buy a group of barren mountains."
Yun Mujiu was surprised: "Could it be possible that those mountains have colorful Ganoderma lucidum?"
"There may be rumors. Your grandfather took great pains to find out, but he couldn't be sure. After he bought the mountains, he sent people to plant some fruit trees on the mountains every year. He not only patrolled the mountains under his contract, but also hired people to patrol other mountains."
Yun Mujiu nodded. It turned out that his grandfather had booked the mountainous area in advance in order to let his subordinates search for the whereabouts of the colorful Ganoderma lucidum.
It has been several months since my grandfather returned to Beijing, and a letter of report has just been sent back from the southern border. Several inspectors rushed all the way, and along with the letter, several well-preserved Ganoderma lucidum arrived.
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and continued, "It's just that Duke Meng has never discovered it in all these years."
Looking at Yun Mujiu, he sighed, "I never thought that I would be able to see the legendary colorful Ganoderma lucidum in my lifetime."
Yun Mujiu was a little puzzled: "Queen Mother, is the effect of this Ganoderma lucidum really that powerful?"
The Queen Mother sighed leisurely, "I don't know." After thinking for a while, she said, "Maybe it is effective. But in terms of maintaining youth, it probably doesn't have the miraculous effect that the legend says."
Everyone will age, and even the best medicine can only delay aging, and the delay will certainly not be very effective. No one can resist the passage of time.
The Empress Dowager has lived for most of her life, and her mentality is no longer the same as when she was young, and her views on issues are not as straightforward as when she was young.
Yun Mujiu didn't know what the Colorful Ganoderma was, although she knew it was a good thing at first glance. But this species of Ganoderma was not in the knowledge of the plant class she had studied, nor was it in the medical archives of the doctor's system, so she couldn't see the specific effect of this Ganoderma.
I think it should have the same effects as ordinary Ganoderma lucidum, but its medicinal effect is far stronger than that of ordinary Ganoderma lucidum, and it has other special medicinal effects.
The Queen Mother said to Yun Mujiu: "I am old and have no use for this thing. Why don't I give this Ganoderma lucidum to you?"
Yun Mujiu quickly shook her head: "Queen Mother, thank you for your kindness, but this is a gift from your grandfather, I really can't accept it. Moreover, the Queen Mother needs nourishment now, maybe this Ganoderma lucidum will come in handy one day, so the Queen Mother should keep it."
After a pause, he said with high emotional intelligence: "Empress Dowager, my grandmother is no longer alive. She once had the same wish as you - to see the legendary colorful Ganoderma lucidum. Now, please, Your Majesty, take a good look at this Ganoderma lucidum for my grandmother. In the future, taking this Ganoderma lucidum will also be regarded as the fulfillment of my grandmother's wish."
The Queen Mother thought of He and her brows drooped.
"Okay, I understand. You are so thoughtful, kid."
Afterwards, the Queen Mother had the Ganoderma lucidum put away and invited Yun Mujiu to stay for dinner.
Yun Mujiu declined the Queen Mother's kindness on the grounds that "The Prince is waiting for me at home for dinner."
The Queen Mother sighed that the two had a good relationship and reluctantly gave up the idea of inviting Yun Mujiu to dinner.
This time when Yun Mujiu was seeing the Queen Mother, the Queen did not show up suddenly, but someone else came over suddenly...
