Chapter 538, Pouring Medicine

In the Cining Palace of Donglin.

A man in a yellow robe stepped into it, and immediately, Eunuch Mo opened the curtains for him, layer by layer, until he walked into the inner room.

On the bed, an old woman was half lying with her eyes closed, her hair gray. Her ears moved slightly, and when the man came to the bed, she snorted disdainfully.

"How did the queen know it was me?" The King of Donglin asked someone to bring a bowl of medicine. The black medicine was steaming, and you could imagine its bitterness just by looking at it.

The queen mother looked haggard, and she slowly opened her eyes, but her eyeballs were gray, and with her old and haggard face, she looked like a person who was about to die and come back to life.

Can't see, she can't see!

She struggled to utter two hoarse "ah ah" sounds from her throat, but it was useless.

After being blind for so many years, she could already distinguish the difference between each person from the sound of footsteps.

"Don't be angry, mother. I came here to save you this time." The King of Donglin asked someone to bring the medicine to the Queen Mother, and his tone became more and more gloomy, "Mother, drink this and you will be able to speak."

The Queen Mother's nose moved, her eyes were full of fear and resistance, and then she was quickly pinched on the face. A familiar force hit her face, and she remembered this feeling. Before,

she was poisoned and mute, and it was this eunuch Mo who pinched her face like this and forced her to drink poison.

She struggled desperately, hoarsely "ah ah", waving her hands around, trying to overturn the bowl of medicine.

"Pah!"

Eunuch Mo's fierce slap on the back of the Queen Mother's head made a buzzing sound, and she felt dizzy and her cheeks instantly became red and swollen. The burning pain almost made her lose consciousness.

"You ungrateful old woman, this is the medicine to cure your muteness, drink it!" Eunuch Mo's face was grim, and he pressed the Queen Mother's face with all his might, completely ignoring her resistance.

The Queen Mother's throat uttered a desperate sob, and the boiling medicine was forced into her mouth. Her mouth and throat seemed to be burned by a raging fire, and she was in great pain.

The medicine flowed down the corners of her mouth, mixed with her tears and blood, and her neck and chest were burned red, which was very painful.

But Eunuch Mo had no mercy at all, and continued to forcefully pour the medicine into her mouth, looking so cruel as if he wanted to put the Queen Mother to death.

After finishing a bowl of medicine, the Queen Mother, who was already old and still hanging on to her breath, looked like a dying ghost.

Her gray pupils scanned everywhere, and finally faced the King of Donglin with a wolf face.

"Ah... I... don't..." Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like an old man crawling out of hell.

She didn't believe that the King of Donglin was so kind.

It was because when her eyes were almost cured before, she was poisoned by the King of Donglin, which caused her eyes to become blind again.

Now her eyeballs are gray and completely useless.

"Mother, I am very filial to you. You can even speak, but you still don't believe me?" The King of Donglin said with a smile. The Queen Mother

paused, slightly hesitant, and touched her throat.

The King of Donglin continued, "My sister's son, Xia Siheng, has invaded Donglin. He wants to occupy our territory. Please persuade him to withdraw his troops!" When the Queen Mother

heard the name Xia Siheng, tears flowed from her eyes that had been blind for a long time.

It was her daughter's child!

It was the son born to her beloved little daughter!

"You will be able to speak in the future. You should know what to say and what not to say. If the news of how I treat you gets out, the people will be unsettled and it will be a disaster for the country."

"You don't want your father, your fourth brother, or even your sister to see the destruction of Donglin's country if they are still alive in heaven."

"Mother, I have been very kind to you. We are all your children, and I am the eldest son. Why don't you ever have me in your eyes?"

"From childhood to adulthood, no matter how hard I tried, you couldn't see me. You praised your fourth brother, but I have never heard him say that to myself."

"For the tasks that my brother and I completed together, my father only praised him and even gave him his cat. But what about me? I have never seen you look at me with any admiration."

"I am obviously the eldest son, but you still said in front of the emperor that you would make your fourth brother the crown prince. Have you ever thought that I would be jealous and embarrassed?"

"Now that I can spare your life, it is already a great blessing for you. As long as you can persuade Xia Siheng to withdraw his troops, you can follow Xia Siheng back to Daxia!"

"If you don't agree, don't blame me for sending you to see the emperor!"

This is a deal, but also a threat!

The queen mother was heartbroken and was dragged to the ground, crying continuously.

When the crown prince was first established, she wanted to recommend her two sons to compete fairly and let the late emperor decide.

As a result, on the way to Yu's study, she heard the miserable cry of a cat. The personal maid went to visit and came back and told her that she saw the King of Donglin throw his fourth brother's cat to death.

How can such a cruel and jealous person be the crown prince!

If she had known that her little daughter would be forced to such a fate by the Lord of Donglin, and that her other son would be killed by him,

she should not have given birth to such a beast!

The Lord of Donglin walked out of the door and saw the palace maids, and ordered: "Don't torture her these days, feed her with good food and drink, and don't let Xia Siheng and the court officials find out."

He has always played the role of a filial son in the eyes of the officials and the people. The Queen Mother's appearance now will arouse suspicion. After

the Lord of Donglin gave the order, someone hurried over from the other side.

"Your Majesty, it's not good. Your Majesty's wife is threatening to commit suicide again. You should go and see her."

King Donglin's eyes flashed with impatience: "The people of Daxia have invaded. Can't she see the situation clearly? She is threatening to commit suicide every day for a princess and forces me to go and see her."

It was okay to see her once, but I didn't expect that there would be a second time. Every time, she forced me to go and take my daughter back.

That was Daxia, how could he dare to go back.

Later, he no longer cared about the Majesty's wife's commotion.

"Go and tell her that if she really dies, I will kill all nine generations of her family." King Donglin thought about it and waved his hand to let them go.

Seeing that the king was really irritable, Eunuch Mo asked, "Will the king go to Miss Linglong today?"

Thinking of the king's wife's daily noise and the current silence of Concubine Jinggui, he was full of irritation and blurted out:

"Well, let's go to Linglong. Only she can make me happy." As soon as

the king left, Master Peng appeared in the dark.

He wanted to see the emperor to report his intention to enter the harem, but when he heard that His Majesty was in the harem, he came.

As soon as he arrived, he saw that Ci Ning Palace was heavily guarded. He couldn't help but feel suspicious, so he used Qinggong to sneak in. Unexpectedly, he ran into the king who had just left as soon as he entered, and he said such a thing to the palace guards at the gate. He was worried, so he decided to quietly investigate.

He came to the back window of Ci Ning Palace and planned to jump in.

No matter what, he had to see the queen mother before he could feel at ease.
