082 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” timing

The Empress Dowager’s sharp voice made Yan Zhaozhao’s heart skip a beat, but the Empress Dowager seemed to regard her as the deceased Concubine Ning, and tightly grasped her wrist. Her turbid eyes were full of ferocious hatred, and she wanted to eat her flesh and drink her blood.

Aunt Yumin was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly came forward to comfort the Queen Mother softly.”Empress Dowager, you have made a mistake. This is not Concubine Ning. She is the current empress of the Central Palace, Zhaozhao, the legitimate daughter of the Yan family.” Yu Min was the former maid of the Queen Mother, and their companionship over the past decades has been of great significance. When the Queen Mother heard the familiar voice, her consciousness gradually came to her senses, and her mood became much more stable.Yu Min continued to say softly: “The Queen Mother, please let go first, okay?”

The Queen Mother stared blankly at Yan Zhaozhao for a while, as if she was carefully discerning whether the woman in front of her was really different from the old friend who was always against her in her memory.After a long while, he slowly let go of his hand, curled up in the corner of the bed and hugged himself, murmuring softly in a state of confusion.

Yan Zhaozhao frowned, feeling stabbing pain in his wrist.When he lowered his eyes, he saw that the fair skin had been scratched by sharp little fingers, and there were faint blood stains.

Yu Min, who had sharp eyes, also saw the wound on her wrist and was shocked.”Ouch! My dear, are you okay?”

Yan Zhaozhao took a step back calmly, pulled down his sleeve to cover the wound, and smiled softly.”It’s nothing, Auntie, don’t be nervous.” She glanced at the Queen Mother for a moment, and then looked around the bedroom. When she looked at the incense burner, she seemed to ask unintentionally, “Has Auntie burned the soothing incense in the palace? This may allow the Queen Mother to rest for a night.”

Yu Min sighed, his expression even more solemn.”The Queen Mother’s bedroom always burns sandalwood. Last night, when I saw that the Queen was frightened, I ordered someone to replace it with soothing incense in the hope that the Queen could sleep better. But the soothing incense has no effect at all. Not only does the Queen Mother have constant nightmares at night, but they are even so severe that she is now delirious. There is nothing I can do about it!”

Yan Zhaozhao lowered his eyes, with a troubled and worried look on his face.In fact, she was secretly thinking that the Queen Mother’s nightmare was indeed what she thought, she was poisoned by inhaling the incense mixed with cinnabar and datura.It was exactly the same as before, it was done by the same person.When she approached the Queen Mother’s bed, she saw herbal sachets containing cinnabar hanging beside the curtain. In addition, the incense burned in the palace yesterday meant that the people behind the scenes had also tampered with the Shoukang Palace.

But, why is the Queen Mother so insane?Only one short night had passed, and the Queen Mother, who was so graceful and elegant and did not allow herself to lose even the slightest bit of composure, turned into the crazy woman she is now.At that time, she had been having nightmares for several nights, and then she gradually began to become trance-like and hallucinate. Now the Queen Mother was far more serious than she was.

Suddenly, I remembered that the Queen Mother kept shouting the name of the late Concubine Ning. Eunuch Lu’s words still ring in her ears.The fog that had covered his eyes just now seemed to suddenly disperse. Yan Zhaozhao’s previous nightmare about seeing Yan Bin was influenced by what happened in the camp that day, and the vivid Tao Ran of the maids of the Chuxiu Palace, so he saw Yan Bin who had died unjustly and came back to claim her life.

What the Queen Mother saw was probably Concubine Ning who had been harmed by her. She was panicked and frightened, fearing that Concubine Ning had turned into a ghost and come back to seek revenge on her. Such a frightened and tormented emotion had led to her current madness.

If you have done too many bad things, you will naturally be afraid of the ghost knocking on your door.

“What did the imperial doctor invited by my aunt say?”

Yu Min is now without a master, and there are very few people in the palace who can truly trust him.He sent someone to ask the emperor to give him an idea, but he only got a reply from a servant, saying that the emperor was currently busy with government affairs and would come to see the Queen Mother when he had time.But everyone knew in their hearts that the emperor was so busy that he didn’t even have a little time, but he just didn’t want to pay attention to it.She was extremely worried, but she couldn’t find anyone to talk to. Now that Yan Zhaozhao was here, Yu Min seemed to have found an intimate with whom she could discuss countermeasures. She poured out her worries in one breath, hoping that the queen could give her some advice.

“We invited several imperial doctors last night, but what they said was completely the same. They all said that the Queen Mother ate a lot of food that would accumulate food and was not conducive to digestion. This led to the Queen Mother not having a good rest at night, and then she wouldNightmare.The empress dowager was unable to sleep due to constant nightmares, so she became so mad that she could recover only by taking a good rest.” Yu Min exhaled and looked very haggard after not sleeping all night.”Last night, I fed the Queen Mother several soothing soups, but none of them had any effect. The Queen still had nightmares all night long and couldn’t rest!”

Yan Zhaozhao patted Aunt Yumin on the back of her hand and said, “Auntie, please be considerate. Your mother is blessed with profound blessings. The Bodhisattva will definitely bless your mother and help her recover soon.” She did not tell her that the Queen Mother was poisoned. She only felt that now was an excellent opportunity.

“The Queen Mother is like this. It is not convenient for those servants to see her. The only one she trusts in the palace is my aunt. How about I come to serve the Queen Mother, so that my aunt does not have to work so hard.” Yan Zhaozhao proposed to serve the Queen Mother at this time, hoping to use this matter to get close to the Queen Mother, and take advantage of her current unconscious appearance to find out the truth about the secret things that happened back then.

“How can this be done?” Yu Min heard Yan Zhaozhao’s words. Although he said how could it be done, his eyebrows softened clearly, and the look in his eyes became more affectionate and approving. It was obvious that he was very willing in his heart.”The Queen is the middle palace, how dare I trouble my Queen to personally attend to this matter.”

Yan Zhaozhao smiled gracefully, and her every move was meek and humble.”Although I am a queen, I am also my mother’s daughter-in-law. Because of this, I should serve my mother well. Only when my mother is happy and healthy can the former harem be truly blessed.”

What she said was respectful and appropriate, and Yu Min couldn’t help but feel a little more satisfied with Yan Zhaozhao. She also felt that the Queen Mother had not misjudged the person. She indeed had the manners of a queen and was the most suitable person to sit on the position of queen.

She raised her forehead again and again, and couldn’t help but be more respectful to her.”The Queen Mother can be so filial, I think the Queen Mother will also be very pleased.”

Yan Zhaozhao chuckled lightly, saw the dark blue under her eyes, and said considerately: “Aunt Yumin couldn’t rest last night, why not go back and rest for a while?”

“How can I rest while I have to serve the Queen Mother and take the soothing soup?” Yu Min stayed up all night and was already exhausted, but she could not completely relax and let the Queen Mother and Yan Zhaozhao be in the same hall.

“It’s hard work for my aunt, but if my aunt doesn’t take advantage of this time to rest, my mother’s nightmare will come again at night. Can my aunt take care of both?” Yan Zhaozhao directly took the medicine bowl in Yu Min’s hand, “Auntie, rest in peace. I will serve my mother to take the soothing soup. If my mother has another nightmare, I will send someone to call my aunt.”

Hearing this, Yu Min looked hesitant, obviously feeling moved.Wouldn’t she want to go back and have a rest? It’s just that the Queen Mother is like this now and will talk nonsense at any time. It would be bad if Yan Zhaozhao heard about those old things about the late Emperor and Concubine Ning.

But then I thought about it, so what if she heard it?Yan Zhaozhao is the Empress of Dasheng, Concubine Ning has no connection with her at all, and the late emperor has passed away.Even if those things were known to her, she would not publicize them. As long as she wanted to secure her position as queen, she would just pretend that she had heard nothing.

Thinking of this, Yu Min also breathed a sigh of relief and agreed, “The Empress Dowager is considerate, and I am very grateful. In this case, I will be respectful and obey my orders. I will go down and rest for a while. If the Empress Dowager has any use for me, please call me.”

Yan Zhaozhao’s smile deepened, “This is natural.”

After Yu Min bowed respectfully to her body, he went down to rest.Yan Zhaozhao and the Queen Mother were the only two people left in the palace. Instead of feeding her the soothing soup, she called Bi Luo who was waiting outside the palace and whispered something in her ear. After Bi Luo went out, she sat down on the soft couch leisurely, took a sip of hot tea and waited for Bi Luo to come back.

For a long time, she didn’t wait for Biluo to come, but she did wait for Xie Ciyan.

“Why are you here?” The moment she saw Xie Ciyan, Yan Zhaozhao’s eyes were full of disbelief. She glanced at the palace door again, and after confirming that no one was outside, she lowered her voice and said, “There are many people here, so what if someone sees you.”

Xie Ciyan didn’t care at all, and raised his eyebrows lightly, “Didn’t Zhao Zhao ask Bi Luo to find me here?”

She subconsciously retorted, “When did I ask Biluo to find you? I just asked her to find you for an object.”

Xie Ciyan couldn’t deny it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, “Now, the people and things you want are here together.” He hooked Yan Zhaozhao’s slender fingertips, “The main thing is that I miss Zhaozhao, so I came here specially.”
