Chapter 213 The Past Becomes a Nightmare
A quarter of an hour later, the eunuch who had applied the drug powder saw with his own eyes the palace maids taking away the drugged food, and then he hid in the dark and closed his eyes.
Recalling the dangers along the way, his heart trembled like a drum, and the sound reached his ears.
But when he thought of his elderly mother outside the palace, he immediately perked up, realizing that this might be his only chance to see his mother.
Compared to the Queen Mother's empty praise, he believed Nanxiang's promise more.
Because ever since he came to Yanxi Palace, he often heard about Nanxiang. Whatever promises he made to the servants, he would definitely fulfill them without exception.
After a while, the eunuch once again relied on his superb vigilance to avoid the sight of many palace maids and eunuchs.
When he returned to the Yanxi Palace, it was already the afternoon before 3 p.m.
After getting Nan's agreement, he walked into the hall to report on the action.
"Your Majesty! I have completed my mission."
"Okay! I'll give you credit for this first. I'll settle the score when the job is done."
Nanxiang believed that she had actually completed the task of delivering the medicine, but until things were settled, the outcome was uncertain.
After the eunuch left, Ju Ping walked over leisurely and asked softly, "Your Majesty! He betrayed you, why did you still use him?"
"Sometimes it is precisely this kind of people who are of the greatest value. I only give them a small reward, and the Queen Mother will suffer for her own actions. Why not give them a taste of their own medicine?"
……
A few minutes after noon, the empress dowager, who had finished worshipping Buddha, was preparing to have a vegetarian meal at the table in the hall.
Some rice, combined with some stomach-nourishing vegetarian dishes, is the Queen Mother's daily staple food, for three meals a day.
The empress dowager, who was extremely hungry at this time, tried to take a few more bites of the food on the plate, but it was taken away by the nanny beside her.
"Your Majesty, that's against the rules! You can't take the same dish more than three times."
"You remember it better than I do! Haha! As I get older, my memory isn't as good as it used to be."
When the Queen Mother's mistake was exposed by the Nanny, she snorted with displeasure and glanced at her sideways.
The nanny looked ashamed. In the past, the empress dowager was most concerned about dining etiquette, but now she has forgotten a lot of it.
A quarter of an hour later, the Queen Mother finally finished her meal.
Just as he was about to sit on the couch and read some scriptures, he suddenly felt dizzy and dazed. His head became very heavy, as if there were several stones tied around his neck.
Seeing this, the nanny beside her immediately stepped forward and supported her.
"Is the Queen Mother okay?"
The nanny looked at the empress dowager's originally rosy face, which was now as smooth and delicate as the skin of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. She was very surprised, but it was unusually pale, as if it was covered with very thick rouge and powder.
"Nothing! Maybe I'm a little tired, so I just need to take a rest."
The empress dowager endured the drowsiness brought by her eyes, waved her hand casually, and walked towards the bedroom on her own.
After drinking some warm tea, she took off her heavy clothes and fell asleep on the couch.
Three quarters of an hour later, the Queen Mother's forehead was covered with cold sweat, her body was trembling slightly, and she kept humming with fear, "No! Don't come over! ..."
"do not want!"
The Queen Mother screamed and then sat up.
This caused the nanny who was waiting nearby to become worried and wonder what had happened to her master.
"Empress Dowager! Is it a nightmare? I will go and summon the imperial physician right away!"
The nanny looked at the empress dowager's increasingly paler face and became extremely panicked. If anything happened to the empress dowager, she, as her personal maid, could not escape the responsibility.
The Queen Mother was a little unconscious at this time, and she had double vision in front of her eyes. Many figures appeared, and there was a woman in azure clothes standing in front of her and waving at her.
After a while, the imperial physician hurried to the Changshou Palace.
Seeing the empress dowager lying on the bed in a daze, doing strange things, pinching her neck from time to time, and stabbing forward with a knife from time to time...
"How long has the Queen Mother been experiencing these symptoms?"
The imperial physician immediately frowned and asked.
"She became like this after today's meal. She was fine before. Please ask the imperial physician to save the empress dowager!" the nanny replied softly.
"Is it like this today?"
The imperial physician walked forward slowly, but was afraid that the empress dowager would do something out of line and hurt him, so he stood one meter away from the empress dowager and began to carefully observe her complexion and other symptoms.
His face was pale, as white as paper, his lips were slightly blue, and his eyes were dark...
After performing several actions in succession, the Queen Mother finally calmed down and suddenly fell asleep again on the bed.
The imperial physician hurried to feel the empress's pulse, but just as he put the examination pad on the table, the empress dowager's hands began to rise up uncontrollably again.
She had no choice but to have someone fix one of her hands.
After taking the patient's pulse, the imperial physician couldn't help but frown.
It was nothing, but he did not confirm the empress dowager's condition from this diagnosis. However, based on his analysis of previous cases, he came up with a fairly reasonable symptom: the empress dowager was overly worried, had poor sleep, and was distracted. She would be fine if she drank some calming herbs.
After leaving a prescription, the imperial physician left in a hurry.
After a long time, the empress dowager, who had drunk some medicine, finally woke up. As soon as she woke up, she grabbed the hand of the nanny beside her.
"Ningchun! She's here to see me! She's here to see me!"
There was some fear and panic in his tone, as if he was very scared.
After hearing this, Nanny Ningchun frowned and thought, "The Queen Mother! She has been gone for many years! You must be possessed by a demon."
She sighed softly. The Queen Mother never mentioned this person on her own initiative, but now she was unexpectedly acting abnormally.
It seems that I dreamed about this person.
"I saw her coming for me."
The Queen Mother's tone was filled with panic, as if the man was right in front of her. She was so scared that she kept hiding behind Nanny Ningchun.
Ningchun had no choice but to pat the empress dowager's back gently to comfort her.
……
Soon, the news that the Queen Mother was insane somehow reached Gu Junshen's ears.
After hearing this, Gu Junshen was a little worried at first, and then he returned to his indifferent attitude.
After instructing Liu Sheng to send some supplements over, he went back to his own business.
Thinking back to the letter he had seen some time ago, a letter that he was unwilling to believe no matter what, his mind was in a mess.
But things can't come out of nowhere, there must be some factual basis.
You hour, Yanxi Palace.
The news that the Queen Mother was insane also reached Nan Xiang's ears.
After hearing this, Nanxiang pondered for a moment as to why both sides had made their move, and why the Queen Mother's reaction would be even more intense.
So he called the eunuch who had drugged her, listened to his explanation, and finally resolved her doubts.
It turned out that the eunuch was afraid that he would harm two innocent children, so he used a very small dose of powder when he took action, while the empress dowager used a very large dose, almost several times more.
After hearing this, Nanxiang became curious about what the Queen Mother was afraid of in her nightmare.
It turns out that the empress dowager, who was rumored to be decisive, also has such a fragile side. She is getting old after all.
