Of course Song Shiwei was not sure.
Her eyes were dark, and taking advantage of the fact that the Empress Dowager couldn't see, she put on a mocking smile and said, "Of course, otherwise, why would His Majesty ask me to come and mix the calming incense for you, the Empress Dowager?"
The Queen Mother's expression changed, her facial features were twitching strangely, and her breathing was clearly audible.
Song Shiwei knew that she must be very conflicted at the moment, so she waited patiently for a long time without urging her.
But as time passed by and the Queen Mother still showed no intention of speaking, Song Shiwei finally couldn't sit still anymore.
Just as the emperor said to her at the beginning, the empress dowager now is also wasting time like she was back then.
The difference is that she only delayed her own time, while the empress dowager delayed the time of both of them.
Since the palace maid delivered the message that day, there has been no useful news brought in from outside. All they kept saying were the few words asking me to stay calm and wait patiently.
Song Shiwei knew that no matter how fantastic their words were, they were ultimately unreliable.
Although the emperor has temporarily spared my life because of this incident, if I cannot demonstrate my value, how long can I survive relying on this alone?
If Jiang Zhiyu tried to stop him, would the emperor risk offending Jiang Zhiyu to save his own life?
In Song Shiwei's mind, the answer to this question was actually affirmative.
No, she was absolutely sure of it.
Therefore, she must show her value to the emperor before Jiang Zhiyu leaves!
Thinking of this, her voice grew colder. "What are you still hesitating about, Queen Mother? Or do you want to see how Qiu Yi and Shuang Ning died, or how others died, before you speak?"
The Queen Mother's expression changed: "Dead?"
Song Shiwei looked at her slightly trembling lips and smiled, "Of course they died. Although they, like you, smell this calming incense day and night, they are not as noble as you, and no one continues to prepare incense for them. When the disease broke out a few days ago, they didn't survive and died."
Seeing the empress dowager's horrified eyes, Song Shiwei felt a sense of pleasure from the bottom of her heart. She looked at her with some pleasure, and her voice became a little lighter: "Just throw it behind the Cining Palace. Originally, because of the deep relationship between you two, the empress dowager might want to see it, so no one asked to throw it far away..."
Before she could finish her words, the Queen Mother screamed and squeezed out the words between her clenched teeth: "Enough! Go and call the Emperor, I will tell him!"
Song Shiwei raised his eyebrows with some pride. The Jinyiwei standing nearby listened to the whole thing, and one of them quietly retreated.
"The Queen Mother is truly wise," Song Shiwei chuckled.
When people become proud, they will make low-level mistakes.
She looked at the empress dowager, whose chest was heaving violently and whose forehead was covered with cold sweat, looking extremely embarrassed, and she felt that most of the frustration she had felt in the past few days had dissipated.
"Look, if we had informed His Majesty earlier, there wouldn't be any such things." Song Shiwei leaned over and whispered in her ear, "As far as I know, Hu Yan explained everything clearly."
The Queen Mother's eyes dodged violently, and then Song Shiwei said, "To be honest, I really envy you for being able to sit in the position of Queen Mother. After all, it's difficult to kill a Queen Mother..."
Song Shiwei just wanted to express her feelings about her current situation, but as soon as she said it, she knew she had said the wrong thing. Her face changed and her voice stopped abruptly.
But it's too late.
Song Shiwei saw a flash of realization in the empress dowager's eyes, then she suddenly turned around and bit her own face hard, with such force that it almost tore it off alive!
Song Shiwei didn't expect her to do this suddenly. He was caught off guard and was bitten by her. When he came to his senses, he felt a piercing pain.
"Ah!... Let go! Let go! Bitch..."
The Jinyiwei standing by did not react at first, until they heard Song Shiwei's shrill scream and the sound of her slapping the empress dowager, and then they hurried forward to pull them apart.
Song Shiwei's face was covered in blood, and she covered it with her hands, so the extent of her injuries could not be seen clearly.
The Queen Mother let out a "Pah" sound and spat out a bloody object. She stared at the piece of meat on the ground, her eyes emitting a strange light, and she smiled foolishly, "Lie to me? ... You dare to lie to me? This is the price!"
She didn't look like a normal person at all. Not to mention Song Shiwei, even the Jinyiwei who were used to seeing bloody scenes couldn't help but feel horrified.
An idea came into their minds at the same time:
Could it be that the Queen Mother has gone crazy because Song Shiwei pushed her too hard?
If the emperor came, would he vent his anger on them?
As expected, just as this thought came into my mind, I saw the emperor walking in, followed by Jiang Zhiyu.
Seeing this scene, both sides were a little confused.
The Jinyiwei were wondering how the emperor could come so quickly, as it would take at least a while to walk from the Imperial Study to the Cining Palace.
As for the emperor, he was protected by Jiang Zhiyu behind him, watching her circling around cautiously like a little wolf cub, while his inner voice was still chattering -
[Vocal, what's that underneath? Meat?]
Whose flesh is this? Did the Queen Mother bite it? Why did she bite? She bites people suddenly. Does she have the zombie virus?
emperor:"……"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Zhiyu's doubtful voice came again:
[No, I was shocked.]
[There can't be any zombies in this place. If this breaks out, I can't even imagine it.]
Knowing that it was not a zombie, Jiang Zhiyu's emotions were obviously not as excited as at the beginning.
Jiang Zhiyu looked at the emperor who was looking at her expressionlessly, and also looked back at him expressionlessly: "It's too bloody, it scared me."
Everyone: “…”
The tone of your voice and the expression on your face don't show you're scared at all!
The emperor sighed softly and turned his head to instruct Chao En, who was standing beside him: "Tell the imperial kitchen to prepare some sweets to calm Minister Jiang down. Then go to the Imperial Household Department and deliver the set of pigeon-blood red jewelry that Junggar presented as tribute to the Xu family."
Putting aside other things, at least she protected herself at the first moment, and according to her inner thoughts, this zombie must be an extremely terrifying thing, but even when she knew that such a thing might exist, she still resolutely protected herself.
This thought alone is worthy of the reward.
You could hear a pin drop in the hall, and envy and jealousy were almost overflowing from their eyes.
It was even worse during the Song Dynasty.
She endured the waves of pain in her cheek, and at the same time her mind uncontrollably recalled the set of pigeon blood red jewelry presented by Junggar at the palace banquet.
She liked it very much at first sight.
She had originally thought that after the palace banquet was over, she would ask the Queen Mother to give her this set of jewelry.
Unexpectedly...
Not only were others surprised, but even Jiang Zhiyu himself was a little surprised.
