Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li's heart broke: "Ninth Princess Consort, the Empress Dowager is truly very ill..."
Hearing his loud wailing, anyone who didn't know the situation would think the Empress Dowager was about to pass away.
Shang Xiye felt embarrassed and reluctantly said, "Your Highness, I can take my medicine later. It's more important to see the Empress Dowager first."
"Well... alright," Ji Fengyao reluctantly agreed.
When Eunuch Li heard that Ji Fengyao had finally agreed to go to Cixi Palace, tears streamed down his face. He quickly got up from the ground and led the way, his steps unsteady.
Eunuch Li walked in a hurry, while Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye walked very slowly.
The wheelchair, which is usually pushed very quickly, seemed unusually heavy today.
Eunuch Li walked a bit and then waited a bit, so anxious that he was almost ready to push Wuying's wheelchair.
Seeing that Ji Fengyao was deliberately dawdling, Xi Que realized that she was intentionally delaying the time to avoid going to Cining Palace. She leaned closer and whispered, "Miss, if you really don't want to go, then we won't go. Anyway, that old hag is no good. If we heal her, she'll bully us again and make her suffer."
"She is the Empress Dowager after all, and we can't turn against her now, otherwise it will implicate the Prince," Ji Fengyao said using telepathy. "However, he plotted against me and the Prince at the birthday banquet the other day, almost causing the Prince to suffer. It's really too good for her that she only suffered for these two days."
Upon hearing this, Xi Que's eyes lit up with admiration: "So it was Miss who caused the Empress Dowager's leg pain! Miss, you're so cool!"
"So-so, third in the world," Ji Fengyao shook her head, feigning pride.
"Then who are the first and second?" the magpie asked excitedly.
"Second, it must be my dad, my mom, my brother, and my two younger brothers," Ji Fengyao whispered to Xi Que with her extremely light and delicate steps. "First (naturally, it's my master), it's you, little Xi Que!"
"Oh, am I that good? Miss, you're so kind to me!" Magpie was so moved that she burst into tears.
Seeing the mistress and servant walking so leisurely, Eunuch Li was so anxious he almost jumped up and down, but he dared not utter a sound.
On the other side.
The Empress Dowager was in so much pain that she tossed and turned, screaming and howling. She punished all the palace maids and eunuchs around her by sending them out and beating them.
Even Aunt Sun got slapped by her and was called a "useless old hag".
Princess Zhaoping was urgently summoned to the palace. Upon seeing the Empress Dowager's state, she felt a surge of hatred for the two palace maids who had summoned her.
This isn't about letting her make her presence known; it's about making her take the brunt of the criticism and suffer the humiliation!
But since she was already there, Princess Zhaoping couldn't just turn around and leave.
Princess Zhaoping personally brought the pain-relieving medicine to the bedside and coaxed her in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, this is a medicine that the imperial physician just brewed. I have already mixed it so it is not too hot for you. If you drink it, you will feel less pain."
"What's the use?" The Empress Dowager slapped the medicine bowl out of Princess Zhaoping's hand in frustration. "From last night until now, I've been filled with these medicines. The Imperial Hospital is a bunch of useless people!"
Princess Zhaoping was drenched in the black medicinal soup, but dared not move and could only endure it.
"Zhaoping, after you enter the Ninth Prince's residence, you must kill that damned bandit!" The Empress Dowager wailed for a while, then suddenly grabbed Princess Zhaoping's hand excitedly, her face contorted with rage: "If you can't even kill a bandit, then all the love and care I've given you over the years will have been wasted. You were originally..."
"Empress Dowager!"
As the Empress Dowager's words became increasingly inappropriate, Aunt Sun quickly interrupted her.
