The palace maid came over with the freshly brewed medicine and placed it on the table in front of Li Wan'er.
The medicine soup has already been boiled and is warm.
It emits a strong bitter smell.
Li Wan'er remembered the advice of her late mother - it is best to drink the medicine half an hour after a meal so as not to hurt the stomach.
Li Wan'er lowered her eyes, feeling sad. She whispered, "Wan'er knows. Thank you, Queen."
The queen was thinking about her son and was too lazy to play the role of a hypocritical loving mother. She left Madam Liu to supervise Li Wan'er to drink the medicine, and the queen left without looking back.
The Queen learned her lesson and was afraid of being convicted of "treating her daughters harshly" again, so she decided to treat Li Yao and Li Wan'er well for the time being and not leave any handle for Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu.
If the Queen Mother came to Baozhu Palace and saw the living environment of Li Yao and Li Wan'er, she would probably be amazed and praise the Queen for her virtue.
The queen raised her lips proudly, and said confidently: "When I take back the housekeeper's power from Concubine Shu, and when Concubine Chen dies of the poison, I will have the final say in the harem."
In fact, at the beginning, the queen originally planned to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers, instigating the Chen Fei and Shu Fei to fight to the death, and she would reap the benefits. But after a period of time, Shu Fei and Chen Fei "lived in peace", and the harem was calm, but the queen could not sit still.
She didn't want to wait any longer, so she decided to take action.
Of course, getting rid of Concubine Shu and Concubine Chen was not enough, the Empress Dowager had to be gotten rid of as well.
The Queen had always been dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, and she still vividly remembered the time when she was deliberately tortured by the Queen Mother.
The Queen decided to use the same old trick again. She used the connections in the Imperial Medical Bureau to put an excessive amount of medicinal herbs into the health-preserving soup that the Queen Mother drank daily, causing the Queen Mother to slowly be poisoned to death.
After the queen left, Li Yao finished her dinner and went back to her room to rest. Li Wan'er sat at the table, looking at the bowl of bitter Chinese medicine.
After a while, Li Wan'er gently picked up the bowl, closed her eyes and prepared to drink.
"Young master, don't drink." Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Nanny Liu quickly stopped him.
The dosage of this cold medicine is increased, and it seems to cure the cold, but in fact it consumes the person's qi and blood.
Li Wan'er was still young, and Nanny Liu couldn't bear to see her die so early.
Li Wan'er's eyes were rimmed with tears. Her tone was not like that of a young girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage. She was helpless and had seen through the world: "But if I don't drink, how will Madam report to the Queen?"
