After Queen Mother Jiang finished drinking, Eunuch Li hurriedly handed her the candied fruit.
She leaned back on the couch, her chin supported by her hand, "This medicine is indeed effective."
"It's not that the medicine works, it's that you, my master, are in good health!" Eunuch Li flattered silently.
Queen Mother Jiang smiled and said, "You are the best at talking."
Liuli stood aside as a background.
"Continue reading the book from yesterday."
Eunuch Li agreed with a smile, and without his instructions, Liuli handed the book to him from the shelf.
"This time we are talking about that Madam Lin's secret meeting with Mr. Zhao..."
Liuli considerately placed a soft pillow behind Queen Mother Jiang.
As the night deepened, Queen Mother Jiang, who had been listening attentively just now, yawned a few times.
"I am tired, let's go to bed."
Liuli took several palace maids to make the bed. One of the palace maids took off her clothes and got into the quilt. When the quilt became warm, she immediately got out of bed.
Queen Mother Jiang lay down at this time, and her bedding was warm.
Eunuch Li is on duty tonight, so Liuli leaves the bedroom.
Late at night, the person lying on the bed had a frown on her face, and the sound of crying echoed in her ears. A baby girl covered in blood crawled towards her step by step, and she reached out to pull her sleeve.
"Mother, why don't you want me?"
"Mother... I feel so uncomfortable... Mother, come down and play with me..."
The empty palace was shrouded in black fog. A ghost baby crawled out of the black fog, followed by the second, the third... countless ghost babies crawled towards the woman standing in the middle.
"Don't come over here, don't come over here..."
"ah……"
The screams echoed in the bedroom, waking up Eunuch Li who was guarding outside.
Eunuch Li and another senior palace maid hurried into the inner hall, lit candles, and walked to the bed.
At this time, Queen Mother Jiang sat up, her face pale and cold sweat on her forehead.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Eunuch Li asked nervously and concernedly.
The head maid Cuizhu then asked, "My master, is he having a nightmare?"
As she spoke, she stepped forward and gently patted her back to comfort her.
"Tea." Queen Mother Jiang said.
Eunuch Li hurriedly poured the tea and carefully fed it to her mouth.
Queen Mother Jiang took a deep breath and calmed down.
She hadn't dreamed of her daughter for a long time, and today's dream was really unpleasant.
She said nothing, and waved her hands at the two of them, "I have nothing to do, you can all leave."
“Yes.”
She thought this dream was accidental, but in the following days, she would dream of her daughter whom she had cruelly abandoned from time to time.
Life in the Cining Palace was already difficult to endure. The Empress Dowager Jiang in the palace was difficult to serve. For some reason, she was in a bad mood during this period. Every day, the palace maids would be punished. The lighter punishment would be to lie in bed for several months, and the worse punishment would be to die directly.
The palace maids in the Cining Palace lived like walking on thin ice. They all prayed that they would not run into him, and even more prayed that Empress Dowager Jiang would be in a better mood soon.
Eunuch Li in the inner palace has looked much more haggard these days, with dark circles under his eyes, but he dared not be negligent and kept his nerves tense at all times.
As soon as night fell, Eunuch Li started to have a headache and prayed in his heart that the day would be peaceful.
Eunuch Li instructed Liuli, "Light up the calming incense, and tell those people outside to stay alert and not make any mistakes."
Liuli was also extremely nervous and couldn't help but mutter, "I hope the master can sleep peacefully today."
"You're the only one who talks too much."
Liuli rolled her eyes and turned away.
After Queen Mother Jiang lay down, her brows were furrowed. She glanced at Liuli beside her and said, "Liuli, you should be careful today. Don't let the candle go out."
"Master, don't worry, I will watch over you."
"Master, please sleep peacefully. I will always be by your side."
Queen Mother Jiang responded softly and closed her eyes.
She didn't want to sleep, but perhaps because of the nightmares she had been having over the past two days, which made her physically tired, it became easier for her to fall asleep. As soon as she lay down, she fell asleep.
In the long and dark corridor, high walls blocked the roads on all sides. A young and beautiful woman in gorgeous palace dress kept running forward, and there seemed to be something terrifying chasing her from behind.
“Mother…”
The unique sound of milk belonging to babies seemed to come from all directions, like a magic sound, pouring into the ears continuously.
The beautiful woman kept running, as if trying to get rid of the monster behind her.
"Mother, you have such a cruel heart."
"My child is in pain."
"Why did you kill me and want that bastard?"
…
"Mother, can you come and accompany the child?"
“Hehehehe…”
“Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow…”
The baby's crying was like silk threads, tightly wrapping around her and suffocating her.
“Get lost!”
Suddenly the person on the bed shouted loudly, sat up suddenly, and gasped for breath.
As soon as Liuli saw Queen Mother Jiang's attitude, she knew that something bad had happened and she had run into bad luck.
"master."
She lifted the bed curtain to check on Queen Mother Jiang.
Queen Mother Jiang grabbed Liuli's hand, her eyes dazed, "Did you hear that?"
Liuli was confused by the question, "Master, what should I hear?"
This immediately aroused her dissatisfaction, "Didn't you hear it? Didn't you hear the baby crying?"
"No, no!" Liuli looked around. The bedroom was very quiet, and there was no sound of a baby crying.
