"Then you have to be careful. You can't make the empress dowager sick. Today, the emperor took a big dose of ventilation for the empress dowager's illness." A Qing was hesitating on whether or not she should go on duty.
"Don't worry, mother A Qing. I will definitely be careful."
A Qing thought that since this girl was a dependable person, there wouldn't be any problems, so she left after giving a few words of advice.
There were a total of four people on duty. ex-sister-in-law and the other girl served closely together while the other two waited on the outside.
"I'm so sleepy, Sister Linglong …" The palace maid felt sleepy all of a sudden, and said sleepily as he rubbed his eyes.
"If you're tired, then go to sleep. I don't need to worry about you here."
That palace maid was a bit embarrassed. Fortunately, they had a good relationship, so he did not think too much about it. He then said: "Then I'll be troubling you, Sister Ling. I'm going to take a nap, so please call for me."
"Go to sleep!" The palace maid did not notice that the person beside his was different. It was difficult to resist the sleepiness.
ex-sister-in-law slowly walked in front of the censer and opened the censer that was shrouded in smoke. She took out a piece of paper from her pocket and poured the white powder inside into the censer. A light fragrance immediately came from the censer. If one didn't pay attention, they wouldn't be able to smell it.
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, when she confirmed that everyone else was unconscious, she took out two pills. One for herself, and the other for the empress dowager's mouth.
The ex-sister-in-law found a short stool and sat by the side of the bed, waiting for the empress dowager to wake up. It didn't take long for the empress dowager to slowly wake up.
The empress dowager slowly opened her eyes. Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded by her ear: "Esteemed Empress Dowager, you're awake?"
"Linglong?" Under the candlelight, he found a young girl sitting beside his bed. She was dressed in palace attire as she sat boldly on the edge of his bed. When he took a closer look, he realized that it was the palace maid that served him.
No, she was not Linglong. Although the two had the same face, their auras were completely different. This woman was sitting down in a dignified manner, appearing to be a lady from a noble family. The cold smile on her lips gave the empress dowager a bad feeling. She turned around and saw a palace maid lying on a bed by the side, completely motionless.
He truly had the guts to openly sit in front of me. The empress dowager instantly changed your mood and asked lightly, "Who are you?"
"A widow whose husband you killed." The voice of the ex-sister-in-law was very cold, and under the candlelight, her face was extremely terrifying.
The empress dowager had struggled in the palace all her life. What had she not experienced? She fearlessly looked at ex-sister-in-law and ridiculed: "So that means you're here for revenge?"
Seeing that the empress dowager's palace didn't place any importance on her, she mocked, "You're the supreme empress dowager right now. You seem to have forgotten all that deception. Your surroundings have been quiet for too long, that's why you relaxed and gave me a chance."
"What big words you have there." Her Majesty said lightly.
ex-sister-in-law calmly said: "I was just speaking the truth. I am currently wearing a human skin mask, maybe you have already forgotten my face, so I believe you will remember my name, Yan Mei."
Yan Mei? The empress dowager kept thinking of this name, while the ex-sister-in-law sat quietly by her side.
"So it's you." The empress dowager's eyes opened. It was her! Back then, the late emperor had slightly subdued his private visit and had always thought of one person in his heart upon returning. After many years, the empress dowager roughly understood something and asked the late emperor's personal eunuch before finding out. In her heart, she had fallen in love with a married woman, so she couldn't forget about her.
This was not the first time this had happened, and Her Majesty did not take it to heart. It was only a woman from the countryside, and she would soon forget about it.
However, to everyone's surprise, Emperor Xian did not forget about it along with the passage of time. The Empress Mother saw in her eyes that jealousy was in her heart and that the greater good was in the end, so she sent men to kill the woman's husband and to have the woman taken into the palace.
From beginning to end, the late emperor didn't know about this matter.
Who would have thought? After the woman's husband died, she jumped into the river and killed herself. The empress dowager was flabbergasted. There were actually people who could sacrifice their lives for glory and wealth? The empress dowager couldn't help but be curious about the woman. She only found out that she was called Yanmei and that she was a very beautiful person. The empress dowager was also a woman. She asked the eunuch who was the most beautiful when it came to comparing the two. Tell the truth.
The eunuch said: Of course the Esteemed Empress Dowager is the most beautiful. Her Majesty saw from what the eunuch said that the woman must be a beautiful woman.
"I never thought that after so many years, you would still be alive, and even plan to enter the palace to murder Wailing Home." Her Majesty was surprised.
"When my husband died, I swore I would kill him no matter what." The hatred in ex-sister-in-law's eyes suddenly surged. For so many years, it was all due to revenge supporting her, "Only then can we work together and you have destroyed everything I have. Today, I must send you to the Road to River Styx and give him an explanation."
When the empress dowager heard that she was going to take her own life, she couldn't help but panic. It was just as she had said just now: she had lost all her opponents over the years, so she put down her guard and gave the others a chance. Do you think you can kill me? If you kill me, you can forget about leaving this place alive. "
"I did not intend to leave this place alive." ex-sister-in-law said indifferently: "I will only be at ease if I personally see you die."
"You are too confident, you think that there is no way out for Wailing Home?" As she spoke, her hand moved to touch the bell at the side, but she found herself powerless.
The empress dowager was a little flustered. There must be someone working with her, and she was hoping that someone would find out in time.
What surprised the empress dowager was that Yan Mei'er didn't do anything. She just quietly sat by the bed and stared at her, as if she was waiting for something.
This set up took a long time. From the moment Xi Jiu Er met the empress dowager, she had started scheming. It could be said that even earlier, Xi Jiu Er had discovered a very familiar figure after entering the palace.
The empress dowager naturally didn't know that all of this was the work of a small direct daughter, but how could she have known that the number of times Xi Jiu Er had entered the palace could be counted on one hand? She had already determined that Yan Mei'er was definitely in cahoots with the people in the palace. Otherwise, how could she have entered her own bedroom without any obstructions?
Who is it? Who is it?
What was he waiting for? He really couldn't understand ex-sister-in-law's actions. It was only when she started to feel a faint pain in her stomach that he discovered that she had already begun to move. The pain in his stomach was unbearable, yet he didn't even have the strength to turn his body over. "Someone come, someone come quickly!" The sound was inaudible like mosquitoes and flies, not to mention the empty bedroom!
The pain in her stomach gradually intensified as beads of perspiration trickled down her forehead. The empress dowager felt as if millions of ants were gnawing at her stomach. How could the empress dowager be accustomed to such pain?
"You, what did you feed me? Poison? " Her Majesty endured the pain and asked, hoping that someone would notice that something was wrong. In the past, there would always be people coming in and waiting on him, it was probably because of his old problem today, A Qing probably got his people to leave.
"In less than a quarter of an hour, you'll die from the pain. The imperial physician won't be able to find a problem with it. You're the empress dowager, so even if you die, you'll still have to act decently." The ex-sister-in-law said indifferently.
