Chapter 177 Be obedient
Those blood pills can make the restless ladies in the family become obedient.
What is restless? It means that women are as good as men and openly challenge patriarchy, husband's power and son's power.
However, a mere blood pill will not make them obedient.
But every time they wanted to resist, they were pulled back by an invisible force, teaching them to do extremely contradictory things. They couldn't tell whether they felt more regretful or more relieved.
Later, Emperor Cheng of Chu had a sudden idea and used the flesh and bones from Concubine Miao's belly to extract pink blood pills.
The Bai family was not a wealthy family, but they volunteered to ask for one and found an opportunity to let the lady take it. The lady of the Bai family, Liang, had a great change in her temperament. She became gentle, elegant, virtuous and generous, which made Lord Bai very happy.
Immediately afterwards, the noble children from wealthy families began to plead.
Those restless ladies were completely transformed into puppets and gradually died.
Having tasted the sweetness, the aristocratic families suggested to Emperor Cheng of Chu that the business could be promoted in Jiangcheng.
So, Emperor Cheng of Chu tried every possible way to get blood from Concubine Miao.
For example, every time Concubine Miao had her period, she would experience abdominal pain, headaches, and drowsiness. Emperor Cheng of Chu was very considerate and lit some soothing incense for her to help her sleep.
The main ingredients of soul-soothing incense are agarwood, benzoin, frankincense, angelica root, fennel, and honey. First, clean the agarwood and, while still damp, pound it in a stone mortar with the benzoin until it is coarsely granulated. Add the frankincense and pound it into a fine powder. Next, soak the angelica root and fennel in light salt water for three incense sticks, remove them, dry them, and grind them into a fine powder. Next, grind the two incense powders further until they are even finer. There are two ways to use this incense: one is to mold it into seal incense and burn it before bed to promote sleep. The other is to add an appropriate amount of honey to the final incense powder and make incense pills, about the size of mung beans. Then, use the frying method to force out the aroma. Use the remaining ash to make small pills, which can be taken with water before bed to soothe the mind and aid digestion.
Concubine Miao fell asleep ten times, and only once was a fake sleep.
She had to despairingly admit that Emperor Chu Cheng had never loved her and only used her.
However, since the Chimei tribe has committed themselves to him, they cannot choose a second man.
What's even more ridiculous is that if she killed Emperor Chu Cheng, she would also die.
After much thought, she planned an assassination and then lost her memory.
Her amnesia made it easier for Emperor Chu Cheng to deceive her.
In the name of love, Emperor Cheng of Chu turned her into a witch who brought disaster to the country and the people.
In the name of love, she acted absurdly and forced the ladies who took the blood pills to wake up as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, those women who took the blood pills did not resist, but tried their best to marry out of the country. In their opinion, as long as they married out of the country, they would be happy.
Emperor Cheng of Chu probably knew what she was thinking.
Therefore, Emperor Cheng of Chu built the Guanyin Tower, in order to make all the ladies in Jiangcheng obediently lift up their skirts and serve them, while at the same time despising each other for their own gender.
In her disappointment, Concubine Miao became more and more arrogant and absurd.
She wanted to kill Emperor Cheng of Chu, but she also wanted to survive.
It was not until Zhu Huaizhen appeared that she realized that she had long become a ghost that ate people without leaving any bones, and she should drag Emperor Chu Cheng down to the eighteen levels of hell with her.
"Princess Ronghua, burn me to ashes and scatter them on the moat. The ladies who took the blood pills and drank the moat water will gradually get rid of the control of the blood pills." This was the solution that Concubine Miao had spent a lot of effort to find.
She only said a few words before she was so tired that she was out of breath and simply closed her eyes.
Then, a big fire started beside Yuquan.
The bodies of Emperor Chu Cheng and Concubine Miao were placed together.
Before her death, Concubine Miao was still holding the sheep-horn dagger, which was given to her by Emperor Chu Cheng. Zhu Huaizhen guessed that no matter how much Concubine Miao hated Emperor Chu Cheng, she also loved him.
Love is such a scary thing.
