Song Wanqing was boiling medicine in the kitchen. After lighting the fire, she was thinking about things quietly.
She had long expected that disembowelment would be difficult and most people would not accept it. But now it seemed that it was even more difficult than she imagined, especially the Queen Mother's inexplicable hostility towards her. Why was this?
On the day she felt her pulse, she deliberately told Xiao Yi about the dissection, hoping to tell the Queen Mother through Song Zhiqiu's mouth, because the Queen Mother would have to know about it sooner or later.
If Emperor Qing was allowed to think about it for a few days before telling the Queen Mother, and then the Queen Mother struggled for a few more days, it would waste too much time.
It's just that the Queen Mother's current attitude is really a headache.
There were hurried footsteps outside, and Song Wanqing wiped her face with dirty hands again, making herself look even more embarrassed.
Soon, Song Zhiqiu opened the door and came in, "Quick, the Queen Mother is sick, come with me now."
Song Wanqing turned to look at her calmly, "Are you sure you want me to come over like this?"
"You..." Song Zhiqiu looked at Song Wanqing's disgraced look and became anxious for a moment, "Why did it happen like this? Wash yourself up quickly!"
"What should I do with the medicine?" Song Wanqing looked helpless, "This medicine cannot be separated from people. The Queen Mother must drink it before going to bed."
"You!" Song Zhiqiu was so angry that she stamped her feet, but now she couldn't call Song Wanqing back. The Queen Mother would definitely blame him, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and say, "Okay, okay, I'll watch the fire. You go and come back quickly."
"Then I'll trouble Princess Chu. Remember, the fire can't be too big or too small. It needs to be medium-sized."
Song Zhiqiu gritted his teeth with hatred, "I know."
Song Wanqing stood up, washed the handkerchief, wiped his face and went to the main hall.
As soon as they entered the main hall, they saw Nanny Xin coming up to her, "Hurry, the Queen Mother has fainted from pain again."
"Let me try." Song Wanqing stepped forward and immediately administered a few needles.
Everyone waited with bated breath for a while, and the Queen Mother finally woke up. The moment she saw Song Wanqing, she cursed loudly, "You bastard, didn't you come to treat the Ai family? The Ai family is in pain. Where have you been? What happened? Come?"
Song Wanqing lowered her head and said, "My little girl is cooking medicine in the kitchen."
"Decoction?" The Queen Mother laughed angrily, "Do you want you to do such a thing as decoction? You obviously did it on purpose..."
"Back to the Queen Mother, it was Princess Chu who asked Miss Wanqing to cook the medicine herself," Nanny Xin said slowly from the side, "She said that the Queen Mother's medicine is of great importance and she would not trust it if it were handed over to others."
The Queen Mother's expression changed, and she immediately ordered, "From now on, we will boil the medicine in the front yard and let them set up a stove."
"Yes." Nanny Xin glanced at Song Wanqing, obviously a little surprised.
Song Wanqing didn't have any expression. It would be better to boil the medicine in the front yard. After all, visible hard work is hard work.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. The medicine should be ready. Please drink it and go to bed early."
The Queen Mother nodded.
Song Wanqing turned around and went to the kitchen, only to see Song Zhiqiu looking even worse than she had just been, and was smearing ashes on her face.
"Don't wipe it off. The Queen Mother doesn't mean to blame you." She said speechlessly.
When Song Zhiqiu saw her coming in, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he immediately stood up, "That's natural. I am her granddaughter-in-law, so she naturally loves me."
She walked aside and wiped her face clean, then looked at Song Wanqing proudly, "Song Wanqing, you really made the wrong move."
Song Wanqing paused with his hands, then quickly poured the soup into the bowl and carried it to the main hall.
The Queen Mother looked at the thick black concoction in front of her, her expression extremely ugly, "What kind of medicine is this? Why does it smell so bitter?"
"Queen Mother, it's medicine to nourish the body." Song Wanqing lowered her head and said, "You are unwilling to undergo further treatment now, so you can only stabilize your body temporarily, hoping to delay it for some time."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she raised her hand and knocked over the medicine bowl, "Don't fool the Aijia with this medicine, the Aijia won't drink it!"
"Grandma Imperial, please calm down." Song Zhiqiu quickly comforted her softly, then turned to look at Song Wanqing, "Can you really cure Grandma Imperial's illness? Or are you just stalling for time?"
Song Wanqing's face darkened, and she knelt down, "The Queen Mother does not accept abdominal dissection, and she is not willing to take medicine. This disease... even a god can't cure it."
"Bold Song Wanqing! Don't think that just because you can help the Ai family to relieve pain, the Ai family won't dare to do anything to you?" The Queen Mother sat up angrily, "The Ai family allowed you to enter the Kunning Palace to cure your illness, not to nourish your body. "
"Queen Mother, let me give you an analogy. It is inside your body right now, which is where you often have abdominal pain." Song Wanqing said, neither humble nor arrogant, "It's like there is a martial arts master who wants to kill you, but your body There are now all ordinary people without martial arts skills..."
She raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother, "These tonics are to enhance the fighting power of these ordinary people, allowing them to resist this number one master for a period of time."
The Queen Mother obviously understood Song Wanqing's meaning instantly, frowning and saying nothing.
When Song Zhiqiu saw that the situation was not good, he immediately chuckled and said, "Sister, you really know how to joke. Where did the Queen Mother have the best martial arts master in her body? How could he have to hurt the Queen Mother? It's nonsense."
"Then what does Princess Chu think makes the Queen Mother suffer from abdominal pain every day and faint every time?" Song Wanqing asked her back.
Song Zhiqiu's expression changed, "I didn't know."
"That's enough!" The Queen Mother pinched her brows tiredly. Drinking medicine is better than having an abdominal surgery. She slowly said, "Forget it tonight, starting from tomorrow, the Yi family will take medicine."
She looked at Song Wanqing and said, "You still have to find a way as soon as possible to turn ordinary people in the Ai family into martial arts masters and kill the number one martial arts master."
"..." Song Wanqing smiled bitterly and said nothing more.
The Queen Mother was about to go to bed, and everyone quickly dispersed.
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother!"
After the Queen Mother left, Song Zhiqiu looked at Song Wanqing and clicked his tongue twice, "You are the best in martial arts. You really know how to bluff people."
Song Wanqing turned around and walked out, not wanting to pay attention to her.
Song Zhiqiu chased after him, "If there really is a martial arts champion, I think you should stop struggling. You are definitely no match for him."
"Prince Chu's Mansion, you must think twice before speaking, otherwise someone may overhear you and tell the Queen Mother or the Emperor," Song Wanqing sneered, "I don't know who you are cursing with these words."
"I..." Song Zhiqiu looked around in horror. When she turned around and saw that Song Wanqing had walked away, she gritted her teeth and said, "Bitch, just wait, you will definitely die worse than anyone else."
After leaving Kunning Palace, she went straight to Concubine Jing's Yichun Palace. These days, she was staying at Chen Yipei's place.
"How is it?" Chen Yipei asked with concern when he saw her coming back. Since the Queen Mother did not allow concubines to attend to illness, she could not go to Kunning Palace.
"Aunt, don't worry. We don't need to take action this time. Song Wanqing is dead." Song Zhiqiu was confident, "She will definitely not be able to cure the Queen Mother's illness. She is too self-righteous."
