However, the queen is really amazing. Even in this situation, she is not scared at all.
In fact, the queen was not afraid, but she did not want to expose her weakness in front of everyone, so she just pretended to be afraid.
"Madam Liu, this snake came here in an odd way. Someone must have lured it here on purpose."
"This person is familiar with the Cining Palace. Perhaps he is from the Cining Palace. You must investigate him carefully."
“Remember, don’t let anyone go.”
She wanted to see who was so bold as to harm her.
Madam Liu bowed slightly and said solemnly, "Madam, I will investigate thoroughly and find out who is behind this."
After a night of tossing and turning, the queen was exhausted. She waved her hand, signaling them to leave.
The smell of blood in her room had not yet dissipated. It seemed that she could not sleep here tonight.
The queen went to a side room next door and soon fell asleep.
A giant python coiled on a tree was sticking out its tongue and shaking its body constantly. Its eyes were as big as eggs and its mouth was open as big as a basin.
It had its head down, but when it heard someone coming, it tilted its head slightly, with excitement flashing in its eyes.
The person who came was the queen. When she saw such a big snake, her blood froze instantly.
The fear of death made her struggle and keep moving forward.
Her steps became faster and faster, and when she was about to escape danger, she accidentally tripped over a vine.
She was awakened when she saw the snake opening its bloody mouth and about to bite her.
"Hu" the queen took a deep breath. The fear in the dream had not yet allowed her to recover.
The feelings in the dream were so strong that she was scared and dared not continue sleeping.
And so the queen sat on the bed with her eyes open all night.
The Queen gave Matron Liu an order, so she dared not not investigate.
As soon as the sun rose, she called two trusted palace maids and asked them to search the entire Kunning Palace.
"Xing'er, Chen'er, you two should open your eyes."
"Don't miss any corner, search the entire Kunning Palace." Madam Liu said sternly.
The two palace maids, Xing'er and Chen'er, are smart, reliable and efficient. They are the palace maids that Madam Liu values and are also people she trusts.
She gathered all the servants together and questioned them one by one in the next room.
"Madame Liu asked us to come here today. Do you know why?" a little palace maid asked quietly.
"Shh, keep your voice down. She's probably asking us what happened last night, thinking someone among us did it." said the slightly plump palace maid next to her.
"You know all this?" the tall uterine maiden asked doubtfully.
Someone interrupted, "Stop talking, Aunt Liu is here."
Matron Liu glanced at the crowd sharply, and suddenly there was silence. Everyone lowered their heads, afraid of being caught by Matron Liu.
"You all line up and wait for me to call your name. When I call one person, you go to the next room."
"I obey your command. I obey your command."
Even after Nanny Liu left, no one dared to act or speak casually.
They all knew that once they were discovered by Madam Liu, punishment would be inevitable.
The punishment could be as little as a beating with a stick, or as much as losing one’s life.
The palace had strict rules and the palace maids and eunuchs dared not disobey.
She asked two palace maids to search, but they found nothing. Perhaps the other party had hidden the stolen goods.
Nanny Liu decided to place her hope on interrogation and searching.
The maids in front asked very carefully, but couldn't see any problems at all.
Nanny Liu was a little disappointed. What if she couldn't find the person? How would she explain to the Queen?
With the determination to die, Nanny Liu decided to intensify the questioning and body searches.
After questioning her many times, she finally discovered some clues.
“When did you enter the palace?”
Sang Ren lowered her head, not daring to look at Madam Liu, "Madam, I just entered the palace last year."
Nanny Liu looked at the booklet in front of her, which had the names of the palace maids written on it.
This palace maid named Sangsen looks familiar. She seems to be the one sent by the Queen Mother to drug Concubine Zhen.
Could it be that she betrayed the Empress? When Nanny Liu thought of this bold answer, she was shocked.
"Mulberry, right? I remember that the Queen once sent you to give Concubine Zhen medicine."
When Sang Shen heard something was wrong, she knelt down quickly. "Madam, please understand. I dare not do anything."
"I followed Madam Majesty's instructions and gave Xiao Ling of Yaohua Palace a few bunches of plum blossoms. She thanked me at the time and did not doubt anything."
Nanny Liu suddenly felt something strange.
"Did you have any contact with that palace maid later?" asked Matron Liu indifferently.
The palace maid's eyes were evasive and she didn't want to tell the truth.
Seeing that the other party did not answer, Nanny Liu put pressure on him.
"Answer me carefully. If you answer incorrectly or hide something, I will not let you off easily once I find out."
"You know my methods." Nanny Liu looked at her with contempt, like an ant on the ground.
Every time the Queen wanted to poison someone but didn't want her hands to be stained with blood, she would do it through Nanny Liu.
It can be said that Nanny Liu is the Queen's executor, carrying out the Queen's orders.
She did many dirty things in secret, such as whipping palace maids, caning eunuchs, injuring people, and persecuting those who did not submit to the queen.
The people in Kunning Palace were terrified of her and had to submit to her tyranny in order to survive.
Under pressure from Madam Liu, Sang Shen kowtowed again. "Madam, I met her later."
"She gave me a bottle, saying it had a calming effect, and I took it with me."
