Afterwards, when Zhao Xin entered the place where the imperial doctors gathered and coughed casually, a group of people kept groaning, and they looked busy as if they had stepped on someone's tail.
"Your Majesty, please stop coughing. The Queen Mother has fainted again!"
Zhao Xin didn't move.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother fainted from fright upon hearing your name, and now she won't wake up no matter how hard we try."
"Bring me a bucket of water."
The imperial doctors were all panicked. The Protector General beside the Queen Mother shook his head, and when he saw the Emperor's fierce look, he knelt down, looking very anxious and flustered.
"Your Majesty, this is the Queen Mother, this is your mother, Your Majesty, you can't do this, it will hurt..."
"Doctor Wang, what did you say?"
The words that were being said came to an abrupt end.
Imperial Physician Wang saw that he was someone who could not afford to offend the emperor. He swallowed his saliva and lowered his head, not daring to speak, for fear that if he said one more word, the emperor would take him out and beat him to death.
For example, the two palace maids and eunuchs who died a few days ago, I heard that their deaths were horrific. Nowadays, no one wants to end up like that, so it is better to appease the emperor.
"Your Majesty is asking you a question, and now you're not going to say that you're going to throw your Majesty out and have him beat you with ten sticks!"
The eunuch was quite good at using chicken feathers as a token of authority. When he said this, the imperial physician was so frightened that he dared not speak and trembled as he stepped aside.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come and see the Queen Mother. She fainted at the mere mention of your name, and there's nothing we can do about it."
"Xiao Chenzi, bring me a bucket of ice water."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
This little Chenzi worked very quickly and brought back a bucket of water. Then he said this to someone, not knowing to whom he was talking.
"This water was brought specially for Your Majesty from the Yong'an Palace. After all, someone has died in the water of that well, so it has a gloomy aura and is very cold, isn't it, Your Majesty?"
Zhao Xin did have this idea before, but there was a huge gap between what he said or hinted at and what the eunuch did, so he stared at the guards standing behind him.
"Drag this eunuch out and give him ten slaps. He actually had the heart to use that corpse-stinking water on my mother. Wake him up by spanking him ten times!"
Xiao Chenzi's face fell, but he had nothing to say. It was his fault for trying to guess the emperor's mind and then being seen through by the emperor. He could only blame himself.
Then he followed him out and was beaten.
"When you get beaten, count to me. If you get one wrong, I'll beat you again."
The imperial physician smiled, and Zhao Xin heard it.
"Royal Physician Wang, since you like to laugh so much, then follow that eunuch. Since you knowingly committed the offense, I'll give you twenty slaps on the face to teach you a lesson. I'll barely let you count!"
Imperial Physician Wang froze.
But seeing the emperor's resolute look, he could only nod miserably and walk out to be beaten.
This beating was not just an ordinary slap with hands, but there was a special token used. What the emperor meant was probably to give this little Chenzi two slaps as a warning and that was it. Besides, the guard was familiar with this little Chenzi, so he didn't use much force.
But this Imperial Physician Wang is different.
This Imperial Physician Wang has always been deceitful and has not changed. What's more, he has become even more outrageous. He even refused to allow these soldiers to go to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine. He even relied on his status to look down on others.
Very arrogant.
"Since His Majesty has spoken today, we, the little minions, will be rude to you, Royal Physician."
"You, you guys!"
Those people didn't know what they were thinking. The token was passed around. Then, a person who looked like the captain took the token and raised his hand and gave the imperial physician a huge slap. He hit the imperial physician's head sideways.
"Alright, alright, that's enough. I still have a task to report to His Majesty. Besides, if His Majesty gets disgusted, he'll have to blame me."
They stopped.
Zhao Xin coughed inside, and the sound clearly sounded dissatisfied.
The guards' eyes turned cold.
"Imperial Physician Wang, His Majesty is not satisfied with our current fighting style. It seems that he thinks we are not hitting too hard, so brothers, keep going!"
At this time, the eunuch had already gone in to accompany the emperor.
"His Majesty."
"Do you know you're wrong? Don't let this happen to you next time you try to figure out the Sacred Heart."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The eunuch also soaked a towel on the emperor's behalf and applied it to the empress dowager's face. It was only early spring at the time, and the cold towel applied directly to the empress dowager's head made her body feel cold.
"My dear mother, you have to wake up, right?"
The Queen Mother only slightly moved her face, but showed no sign of opening her eyes. Zhao Xin then coughed loudly twice without mercy, and the guards outside beat her even harder.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. If you hit me again..."
"You can still talk! I'm really disappointed with your attitude now. Keep fighting!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
These words were spoken passionately, and Imperial Physician Wang knew that if the Empress Dowager continued to play dumb today, she would probably die outside.
The queen mother finally blinked and opened her eyes, coughing as she did so, as if she had just woken up without drinking any water.
"Your Majesty, pour me a glass of water."
Perhaps it was the original body's old mind that was causing trouble, so he directly brought a teacup over from the side and gently fed the queen mother water. He then even kindly helped the queen mother back.
"Your Majesty, I didn't mean it. It's been a year now. How about you forgive me? I promise to let the Cui family help you stabilize..."
Before she could finish her words, the Queen Mother sat up silently as if she had thought of something.
The emperor had probably already said that the Cui family was dead, and that dead probably meant they were all dead. Just how terrifyingly powerful had the emperor become that he could have brought down all the relatives of the emperor who were deeply involved in the court...
"I have already wiped out the Cui family. Do you also want to become a victim of my sword?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am your wet nurse. How could you treat me like this?"
Being both her mother and her wet nurse, this relationship must be unusual. Furthermore, Zhao Xin had traveled through time and space, and had no attachment to this world.
"Alright, let's call in that Imperial Physician Wang. After all, it's not easy for him to be outside in the middle of the night. I'm afraid he's frozen."
Zhao Xin coughed.
"How did Mother know? Imperial Physician Wang is outside. I just sent him back to rest. Besides...does Mother still want to control me?"
