081 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Crazy

Drowsily, Yan Zhaozhao seemed to hear what Xie Ciyan said to her, but before she could respond, she couldn’t resist the overwhelming tiredness and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, it was already the dawn of the second day.

She was wearing dry pajamas, and the side of the bed felt cold to the touch. It had been a long time since she came to thank Ciyan.Yan Zhaozhao called Bi Luo to get up and wash up.

When Bi Luo saw her mother-in-law waking up, a hint of joy flashed across her face and she hurriedly walked to the bed.”My dear, you finally got up.”

Yan Zhaozhao couldn’t help but frown. The moment the bedroom door opened, she seemed to faintly hear some noise coming from outside.”What happened? Why is it so noisy outside?”

Bi Luo helped his wife up, and said in a low voice as she walked, “My wife, something happened in Shoukang Palace last night.” Yan Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little more interested, and raised his chin to signal her to hurry up.”The Queen Mother had a nightmare when she was resting last night. The doctor was called in at midnight, but she still couldn’t cure the Queen Mother’s nightmare.”

She lowered her voice, cupped her palms and whispered in Yan Zhaozhao’s ear: “It is said that the Queen Mother became delirious after waking up from a nightmare. She kept shouting the posthumous names of the late Emperor and Concubine Ning, incoherently, as if… she was suffering from madness.” Biluo’s voice was softer for the last few words, as if she was afraid that someone would overhear them.

Yan Zhaozhao’s heart trembled, and her eyes became a little more horrified.”Is this true?”

Bi Luo frowned at Ning, “The news about madness was spread by the servants in Shoukang Palace. No one saw with their own eyes whether the Queen Mother…” Bi Luo did not continue what she said next, but Yan Zhaozhao already understood the meaning of her words. His brows were slack for a moment, and then he remembered something and frowned again.”There was a lot of commotion last night. The concubines and their masters were waiting for dawn to come to the Empress’s Palace and accompany her to Shoukang Palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother.”

Yan Zhaozhao lowered her eyes thoughtfully, the Queen Mother’s nightmare must have been caused by the same method as her previous poisoning.Although I don’t know why the person behind the scenes is targeting the Queen Mother this time, what really makes people care is that the Queen Mother’s nightmare is calling the late Emperor and Concubine Ning.She couldn’t help but think of the last time she had a nightmare when she saw the late Yan Concubine coming back to demand her life and complaining. Could it be that what the Queen Mother saw this time was the late Emperor and Concubine Ning coming back to demand their lives?

It was about the late Emperor and Concubine Ning. As the Queen of the Central Palace, she had no reason to ignore it, so she hurriedly washed and dressed, put on a relatively plain palace outfit and left the bedroom door.

As soon as she stepped into the main hall of Fengyi Palace, a group of concubines who were sitting on the chairs at the bottom, drinking tea and chatting, quickly stood up and leaned over to salute her.”Concubine, I send my regards to the Queen. I wish the Queen good fortune and good health.”

Yan Zhaozhaoxu held Bi Luo’s hand and walked to the throne of honor, then slowly said, “Everyone, get up.” She looked around at the concubines who came here, smiled, and said, “You sisters, why did you come to Fengyi Palace, my palace, suddenly early in the morning?”

She pretended to understand, but pretended to be confused in front of them.Yan Zhaozhao is in the middle palace. Even if he really knows about Shoukang Palace, he cannot take the initiative to announce it. It is a great disrespect to make random speculations before proving it.

Qian Chang, who was sitting in the middle of the lower head, was a little impatient. She opened her mouth and said in a curious tone, “Your Majesty, it’s not that the concubines are coming to disturb the Queen Mother, but I heard that the Queen Mother was frightened last night and became unwell. I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep all night, so I came with a group of sisters to accompany the Queen Mother to the Shoukang Palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother.”

The Queen Mother usually does not care about the affairs of the harem, and the concubines are not allowed to enter the Shoukang Palace without any orders, even if they want to pay their respects.Only the queens of the middle palace could go to Shoukang Palace to ask An to fulfill their filial piety for the emperor at will. Therefore, even if they wanted to go to Shoukang Palace to ask An to meet the Queen Mother, Yan Zhaozhao had to agree first and then go with her.

This is the difference between a wife and a concubine, and it is also the reason why those concubines want to sit on the throne of the queen at all costs. There is a huge gap in the treatment received by wives and concubines. If a wife can be a wife who responds to everything, which woman wants to be a concubine.

Something happened in Shoukang Palace, and Yan Zhaozhao should go there in person to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, regardless of emotional or rational reasons.She did not refuse the concubines’ request to go together, and stood up happily, “I am deeply relieved that you sisters have this intention. In this case, please go with me to Shoukang Palace to say hello to your mother.”

Several concubines had a look of joy on their faces, as if they couldn’t wait to go to Shoukang Palace to see the excitement.The harem is lonely, and now the emperor is doting on Concubine Chun, Yan Zhiyi. There are no other concubines in the harem, and life is even more boring. Now that something is going on in the palace, most of them just have fun and pass the time with the mentality of joining in the fun.

Those with the concubine rank or above are eligible to travel on the ceremonial guard. After the death of Concubine Yan, there are no more concubines with the concubine rank in the palace. The only concubine, Yan Zhiyi, was recently promoted to Chunfei.Yan Zhaozhao’s phoenix honor guard walked at the front, Yan Zhiyi followed closely behind, and the remaining concubines followed the honor guard on foot, and were helped by the palace maids to Shoukang Palace.

The guard of honor stopped in front of the main hall of Shoukang Palace. After Yan Zhaozhao put down the guard of honor, he took the lead to step into the threshold of Shoukang Palace.Aunt Yumin heard the sound and came over. Seeing that it was the queen, she hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, but when she was about to bend down, she helped her up.”Aunt Yumin doesn’t need to be polite. I heard that the Queen Mother invited the imperial doctor last night. Are you feeling better now?”

At the mention of the Queen Mother, Aunt Yumin’s expression changed slightly. She glanced at the concubines behind her and lowered her voice and said, “Your Majesty, you’d better go to the palace and see for yourself.”

Hearing this, Yan Zhaozhao also looked a little solemn.Aunt Yumin’s words were undoubtedly saying that the Queen Mother’s current situation was not very good. She, a slave, did not dare to declare it to her mouth, and it was even more difficult to explain it in a few words. Let her see it with her own eyes.

“Masters and ladies, if you are thoughtful, I will definitely remember your thoughts and report them to the Queen Mother one by one.” Aunt Yu Min stood upright, her attitude unquestionable.”It’s just that the Queen Mother is unable to see guests at the moment, so I would like to ask all the ladies to return to the palace first.”

The faces of the concubines who came with them changed after hearing Aunt Yumin’s words, but they did not dare to show it in front of Shoukang Palace. They could only force a smile and responded in unison.

Yan Zhiyan suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Yan Zhaozhao, who was standing in front of Shoukang Palace and whispering something to Aunt Yumin. Her eyes darkened, and a trace of unknown emotion flashed through her eyes.

After a while, she took the lead in sitting on the guard of honor and returned to Guanju Palace.All the concubines walked out of the Shoukang Palace just as they had come, and went back to the palace with regretful emotions.

Only Yan Zhaozhao was still standing in front of Shoukang Palace.She asked Bi Luo to wait outside, while she followed Aunt Yumin into the inner hall of Shoukang Palace.

There was no one waiting in the hall, but candles were burning in broad daylight, illuminating the originally dark inner hall.There was a faint sound of sad sobs on the huge bed, mixed with the somewhat frightened shouts of the Queen Mother. The preface and follow-up words were inconsistent, making people confused. Only occasionally could one hear the Queen Mother shouting the posthumous title of the late emperor and the name of the late Concubine Ning.

“Aunt Yumin, this…” Yan Zhaozhao did not step forward, just stood there and looked at Yumin who was coming behind him.”Mother, what on earth is going on?”

Yu Min’s face became even more ugly. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said as if there was no other way to compromise: “The Queen Mother has been a little strange since she came back from the palace road last night. She had constant nightmares when she was resting. She couldn’t tell whether it was a dream or reality, and even…” She hesitated for a long time, but gritted her teeth and said: “She also mistook the slave for the unjust soul who demanded her life, and wanted to strangle the slave to death.”

She sighed softly, “I really have no choice but to invite the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but the imperial doctor said that the Queen Mother is fine and her body does not show any signs of poisoning. I’m afraid…” Yu Min leaned close to Yan Zhaozhao’s ear and whispered the disrespectful words, “She is contaminated with evil spirits.”

The Queen Mother’s current symptoms are very similar to her nightmare of poisoning at that time. It is assumed that the Queen Mother is also the same, but the toxicity is not strong, so the imperial doctor did not detect it for a while.

Yan Zhaozhao took two steps forward and opened the curtain on the bed.What came into view was the usually dignified Queen Mother, who could not tolerate a trace of embarrassment in herself. Her hair was messy, and she was unconscious. She was hugging herself, whispering something softly in her mouth, and her turbid eyes were full of fear.

Seeing someone opening the curtain, the Queen Mother subconsciously turned her head. The moment she saw Yan Zhaozhao, the Queen Mother suddenly shouted loudly, dragged her body back towards the wall, and suddenly pointed at her and said: “Ning Guifei, you bitch -” Her voice was sharp and terrifying, “Why don’t you let me go even if you die -“
