Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 389: Madam Yingchun is already dead

Grove.

The emperor knew very well what Huang Ye was thinking, but he did not expose her.

"You're right, I'll take a look now."

He stood up and pushed open the closed door of the tree house.

result…

Then I saw the prince, hiding in his nest with his wings covering his head.

Huang Ye was a good master. She ran in quickly and picked up the prince from the nest.

"Your Majesty, the prince is a little afraid of you..."

She said to the emperor embarrassedly.

The Emperor was pleased that the Prince was afraid of him.

He bent over curiously and walked into the tree house.

There was no way, he was tall and the tree house was a little too low for him.

"This window is very cleverly designed, Ye Jieyu. You are very smart."

The emperor praised sincerely.

Huang Ye was very pleased with his praise.

"Of course. This tree house is the first of its kind in the entire Great Xia Dynasty."

Huang Ye raised his head smugly and said proudly.

Not to mention that the emperor and Huang Ye were having a great time chatting and laughing in the tree house.

Cining Palace.

The Cining Palace is now even more gloomy.

After the emperor ordered the Cining Palace to be sealed off, Xiao Yinzi brought people over again in the afternoon and captured many palace servants from the Cining Palace.

To be precise, many palace maids who were close to the Empress Dowager were captured.

Including the two maids who tied up Hongdou that day, and the palace maid who tipped off the empress dowager.

There are also eunuchs guarding the gate.

They were all arrested and taken to the Ministry of Punishment.

No matter how stupid the Queen Mother was, she knew that those people would never come back.

Moreover, those people took away Nanny Yingchun despite the Empress Dowager's objection.

The Queen Mother leaned dejectedly against the head of the bed. It was almost time for dinner, but no one came to ask about it.

The entire Cining Palace was silent, so silent that she felt uneasy and itchy all over.

She scratched her body hard several times, but it didn't work.

This kind of itch seemed to be in the gaps between bones, and even if she scratched it with her hands, it seemed to be useless.

"Someone... who's outside?"

The Queen Mother shouted impatiently.

A little palace maid timidly pushed open the door and walked in.

"I wonder what the Queen Mother wants me to do."

She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Queen Mother.

She was a maid in the yard, responsible for cleaning the yard.

If she wasn't the only one left in the yard, she wouldn't dare to enter the Empress Dowager's room.

"Where are the people in this yard?"

"Your Highness, I am the only one left in this courtyard."

The little maid answered tremblingly.

The Queen Mother didn't expect that there was only one person left in the yard.

Her son, the emperor, is really cruel.

For the sake of such a woman, he put her, the queen mother, in such a situation.

"Come here and scratch my back."

The Queen Mother no longer had time to blame the Emperor as she was feeling very itchy all over.

She was so itchy that she was anxious and didn't know what was going on.

"Empress Dowager, your back..."

"What's wrong with my back?"

The Queen Mother is so itchy that she doesn't even bother to call herself "Ai Jia".

"Your Majesty, your back feels bumpy..."

The young palace maid cautiously reminded the Queen Mother.

"There are also a lot of red bumps on your neck."

The Queen Mother then remembered to look at the arm she had just grabbed.

What are those densely packed red bumps on it?

"Quick...quickly call the imperial physician, quickly call the imperial physician."

The Queen Mother shouted at the top of her lungs.

It was horrible, her body was covered with these red bumps, not only was it ugly but it also itched her to death.

"I will go out and call for help."

The little palace maid was also frightened by the red bumps on the Queen Mother's body.

The emperor only ordered the closure of the Cining Palace, but did not forbid the empress dowager from hiring an imperial physician.

So the imperial physician came over quickly.

"Your Highness...it looks like you're allergic to something unclean."

The imperial physician was not very sure. After all, he had never seen a case like the Empress Dowager's where he couldn't feel the pulse.

"I just eat the food sent by the imperial kitchen..."

The Queen Mother was still scratching herself while she was talking to the doctor.

She didn't want to be disrespectful in front of others. The key point was...

Her body was so itchy that she wanted to peel off her skin and scratch right into the bones.

"I will prepare some medicine for the Queen Mother first. Please take a bath in the medicine first. I have never seen a case like yours before."

The imperial physician was not sure that the medicinal bath he prepared would be effective.

"Then why don't you hurry up and get the medicine."

The Queen Mother was so itchy that she was furious. She scolded in a stern voice.

The imperial physician hurried out with the medicine box.

The Empress Dowager has such a bad temper that it's really unbearable.

By the time the imperial physician brought the medicine over, the empress dowager's skin had almost been broken from scratching.

This was because she had forced herself not to scratch it too hard.

But it's okay.

Although there were not many people in her inner courtyard, the nanny who was in charge of cooking in the small kitchen of the Cining Palace was still there.

The young palace maid fetched hot water and poured it into the bathtub, then put the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician into it.

She helped the empress dowager, who was itching so much that she almost died, into the bathtub.

After soaking for a long time, the Queen Mother finally felt like she was alive again.

"What's your name?"

The Queen Mother asked the little palace maid.

"Your Highness, my name is Jiu'er."

The little maid replied.

"Jiu'er, maybe you can find out whether that Concubine Ye is dead or not?"

"Your Highness, I cannot leave this courtyard now..."

Jiuer replied.

The Queen Mother knew this was the case, and she was feeling very conflicted.

Of course she hoped that Concubine Ye was dead.

Even if she is immortal, it would be fine if she never wakes up.

This would also help her vent the anger in her heart.

But she was also afraid that Concubine Ye would die. If Concubine Ye really died in her hands this time...

She believed that she would never be able to leave the Cining Palace in her lifetime...

Perhaps there will be even more serious consequences, that is, she will go to Heyuan to accompany the deposed empress.

This would also be the case if the deposed queen could get out of the Ministry of Punishment.

Thinking of the Ministry of Punishment, the Queen Mother was so frightened that she almost forgot the itch on her body.

It is not impossible that her son, the emperor, could get her into the Ministry of Punishment.

Just like welcoming spring.

Yingchun has been with her for so many years, and it can be said that she has watched the emperor grow up.

Didn’t the emperor kill her without mercy?

The Queen Mother believed that Nanny Yingchun was now dead.

If the emperor wanted Concubine Ye to go further, he would not let the person who knew that she was planning this matter live.

The Empress Dowager is now trapped in the Cining Palace and cannot leave. She has no capable person around her to help her find out the news from the outside world.

So she is very anxious now.

The consequence of this anxiety was that the itch that had been suppressed by the medicinal bath became even more severe.

"Call the imperial physician. Go and call the imperial physician quickly."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but shout.

"Your Highness, let me help you up."

Jiuer wanted to help her out of the bathtub.

Even if the imperial physician was called, she couldn't sit naked in the bathtub and let the imperial physician feel her pulse, right?

"I asked you to call the imperial physician, why are you interrupting?"

The Queen Mother could no longer control her temper.

She slapped Jiuer hard on the face.

The Queen Mother used all her strength to slap him.

Jiuer was beaten so hard that stars appeared in her eyes and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
