Chapter 573: Full of Chinese Terror
"Aunt Jingping." The Queen came forward with a smile, "But is Mother unwell?"
"If the Queen Mother is ill, I will send someone to call the imperial physician."
Aunt Jingping also laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you are very thoughtful. The Queen Mother is still the same as before. The imperial physician can't find any problem and can only prescribe some medicine to keep her healthy."
"The Queen Mother heard that Princess Ling is a disciple of the Gu Saint and has remarkable medical skills. She also heard that the Queen, who was previously bedridden, recovered almost completely in just a few days after taking the medicine Princess Ling gave her."
"Princess Ling happened to be in the palace, and the Queen Mother wanted to take the opportunity to ask Princess Ling to come over and take her pulse."
The Queen nodded and praised: "Princess Ling's medical skills are indeed superb."
"I was so seriously ill, but after taking the miraculous medicine given by Princess Ling, I quickly recovered and was able to participate in the moon worship ceremony with full energy."
"The Emperor is full of praise for Princess Ling's medical skills."
Aunt Jingping listened with lowered eyebrows, a smile still on her lips.
The queen is using the emperor to criticize her.
Unfortunately, there are many things that a mere aunt like her cannot decide.
The Queen also knew this, and she changed the subject: "The Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet is hosted by the Imperial Concubines, so it doesn't matter if I leave. I have to go pay my respects to the Queen Mother anyway, so I will go with Princess Ling to take a look."
Aunt Jingping said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"The Queen Mother only invited Princess Ling."
"I dare not disobey the order of the Empress Dowager. I hope the Empress will show some sympathy."
The queen didn't look too good.
Everyone in the entire palace knew that Aunt Jingping was a smiling tiger and a knife beside the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother sent this knife to invite Xie Yingmian, and she came with ill intentions.
Xie Yingmian listened to the witty banter between the Queen and Aunt Jingping.
It's really tiring to listen to his half-said and half-left speaking style.
Taking the Empress Dowager's pulse was actually exactly what she wanted.
She had long had guesses about the Empress Dowager's background, and she could uncover a lot of information by taking her pulse.
Xie Yingmian gave the Queen a reassuring look: "Your Majesty, this is a great time to enjoy the moon. You can stay here and enjoy the moon without any worries. I'll be back soon."
"Aunt Jingping, let's go."
On the way, Xie Yingmian tried to ask a few questions.
Aunt Jingping is a very experienced person. She answers whatever Xie Yingmian asks, but her answers are never to the point.
Xie Yingmian simply stopped asking.
Arrived at Changle Palace where the Queen Mother lived.
Compared with the bright lights outside, the light inside Changle Palace was extremely dim.
The wind blew, and the big red lanterns swayed.
The already dim lamp was blown out by the wind, making the surroundings even darker.
Xie Yingmian didn't know what Changle Palace looked like during the day.
The Changle Palace was filled with gloomy air at night.
Especially in Changle Palace, all the lanterns were lit with big red lanterns.
Dim light, classical and luxurious buildings, swaying red lanterns, and palace servants who looked like wooden figures...
Each one is full of Chinese horror.
Xie Yingmian remained calm and followed Aunt Jingping to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
The Queen Mother was pale, weak, and lying sickly on the bed.
Judging from the appearance alone, he is really sick.
Xie Yingmian bowed and said, "Your servant Xie Yingmian has come to feel the Empress Dowager's pulse."
"Your Majesty, please extend your hand."
The Queen Mother glanced at Xie Yingmian and extended her hand.
Xie Yingmian placed her fingers on the empress dowager's wrist.
The more she felt the empress dowager's pulse, the heavier her heart became.
Wrong!
All wrong!
The Empress Dowager's pulse was that of a normal person who was sick.
She doesn't have any poisonous insects or advanced martial arts skills, she's just an ordinary old woman living in the backyard!
They speculated among themselves that the old lady of the Mu family had given birth to twins, and the twins were targeted by the Twin Lotus Sect.
Xiao Houzi also said that the Queen Mother was the Holy Maiden of the Gu Clan.
but!
After actually taking the Queen Mother's pulse, she discovered that everything Xiao Houzi said and their speculations were wrong!
"Please change your hand." Xie Yingmian suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice.
The Queen Mother changed her hand.
After Xie Yingmian finished taking the pulse, she said, "Your Majesty, your illness is mainly in your heart. It's an emotional illness. As long as you can resolve your inner problems, your body will naturally get better."
"I'll prescribe some tranquilizers for you. If you take them for seven days, you should feel better."
Xie Yingmian went to write a prescription.
Out of the Queen Mother's sight, she summoned Sui Sui: "Can you find a way to scan the Queen Mother's physical condition? Just like you scanned Yu Lingye back then."
Sui Sui: “It’s a bit difficult.”
"Meibao, do you feel very uncomfortable after entering Changle Palace?"
"I don't know how to describe that feeling."
"Entering this place is like entering the Black Mountain Demon's lair. It's very depressing. Every move here carries a touch of Chinese horror."
"Besides all this, I also had a feeling that I was being watched by something dangerous."
"I have a feeling I can't show up rashly, and you shouldn't stay long."
"Hurry up and write the prescription. Once you finish writing it, we'll leave here."
Xie Yingmian quickened his hand speed.
After finishing writing the prescription, Xie Yingmian said to the Queen Mother, "The prescription is ready. It's getting late, Queen Mother, please go to bed early."
The Queen Mother did not make things difficult for Xie Yingmian. She nodded slightly, indicating her agreement.
Xie Yingmian walked out quickly.
However,
Where Xie Yingmian couldn't see, a few strange lights flashed in the empress dowager's eyes.
