Chapter 374: Nightmares

"Xi'er, did you let them plant these plants? I don't know where these plants came from, I heard that they have been planted for several years, but they have not bloomed, why do you plant so much? King Qin looked at this unknown plant that had been planted in this originally deserted clearing, and asked with some curiosity.

"They don't bloom, but they make a woman bloom!" Cheng Xi looked at a large patch of aloe vera and said with a light smile.

"Let women bloom?" King Qin didn't understand Cheng Xi's words, and asked with some puzzlement.

"Haha, it's to make women as beautiful as flowers." Cheng Xi explained.

"Oh, does Xi'er know this plant and know what it is for?" King Qin became more and more curious.

"Yes, this plant is called aloe vera, it is very easy to grow, just a leaf can grow a big one, these are the original east side of the few branches, it will not be long before this one will become my aloe vera garden. This aloe vera can not only be eaten, but also made into skin care products for beauty, and can also be used as a medicine to treat burns. Cheng Xi said proudly.

"Xi'er grows so much, do you want to use it to make skin care products and sell them in your skin care store?" After hearing this, King Qin had already guessed Cheng Xi's intentions.

"Well, the prince is so smart! I'm going to make it into a medicine! Can treat stomach problems and constipation. Cheng Xi said with a smile, "By the way, the prince's affairs have been arranged?" ”

"Well, it's been arranged, Xi'er is waiting to see a good show!" King Qin's deep eyes shone with anticipation, he had waited for five years, hoping that this time he would not be disappointed.

In the palace, in the dead of night, there was a scream in the Weiyang Palace, the queen mother woke up from her sleep, she held her arms with both hands, sat up, cold sweat soaked her obscene clothes and pants, the palace maid heard the queen mother's cry, and hurriedly ran into the queen mother's bedroom, and saw the queen mother's eyes wide in shock, her face was pale, and the cold sweat on her forehead came out densely.

"Queen Mother, are you alright?" The palace maid asked with a concerned expression.

"Nothing? You, are you blind? Do you think Hongu looks like it's okay now? The queen said angrily.

When she saw someone coming, the fear in her heart dissipated a lot, but she was a little annoyed, but the palace maid who was worried about her was kind and not reciprocated, and was affected by her anger.

"Queen, are you having a nightmare?" The palace maid asked softly, and she also comforted: "Queen Mother, this dream is all the opposite, and nightmares are all good omens!" So don't be afraid, mother. ”

The palace maid looked at the queen mother carefully, and found that her face looked a little better, so she said to the queen mother: "Queen mother, the slave maid will pour you a cup of tea to suppress the shock!" ”

Saying that, she poured a cup of tea and sent it to the queen mother, who took a sip of tea and said to the palace maid: "Change clothes for the palace." ”

The palace maid brought a set of obscene clothes and pants for the queen to change into, only to find that the clothes on the queen's body were soaked, but because she was scolded just now, she didn't dare to say anything now.

Seeing the palace maid standing aside tremblingly, the queen said, "You can go out, the palace is fine." ”

Watching the palace maid walk out of her bedroom, she recalled the dream she had just had, the dream was so real, as if it was immersive, it scared her to wake up, how could this be?

That has been dead for so many years!

In the first few years, she was also frightened, but later, seeing that the emperor did not suspect that the cheap woman died of illness at all, and let her sit on the throne of the queen, she was calm.

It's just, how could you dream of her tonight? Could it be that she knew in heaven that she was calculating her son, and she got angry and dreamed to warn herself?

She shook her head, impossible! The mean woman couldn't have known she was scheming on her son. Even if she knew, she couldn't help herself, she was the queen of a country, she was just a ghost, what if she dreamed to warn? She couldn't fight herself when she was born, and she couldn't fight herself even more when she died.

Thinking like this, the queen's heart was a lot more comfortable, maybe it was late at night, she was also sleepy, she lay back on the bed, closed her eyes and wanted to sleep, but, I don't know why, as soon as she closed her eyes, the face of that cheap woman appeared in her mind.

The queen mother could not sleep since she was awakened by a nightmare, she did not dare to sleep, so she had to wait for the dawn. It wasn't until there was a touch of fish belly white in the sky that she couldn't hold back and fell asleep.

Because she didn't sleep well, the next day, the queen mother got up with two panda eyes, and she was full of anger and scolded the palace maid who was waiting for her, and smeared a thick powder on her face, barely covering the dark circles under her eyes.

Coincidentally, there is another woman in this palace who didn't sleep well like the queen, she is Rong Guifei Niangniang, she is the same as the queen's mother, she was awakened by nightmares, and then because she was afraid, she didn't dare to sleep anymore.

In the next few nights, the Weiyang Palace in the palace and the dormitory of Rong Guifei will be heard from the screams of women, the palace maids and eunuchs are so frightened that they dare not sleep outside the dormitory of the queen mother and Rong Guifei, for several days, the palace maids and eunuchs can't stand it, they have to work during the day, and they have to keep vigil at night, and they are not in good spirits.

And their masters, seeing that they were in poor spirits, did not understand that they were in poor spirits because they kept vigil for them at night, and punished them for this, causing the palace maids and eunuchs to complain.

The people placed in the palace by King Qin spread the news to King Qin's mansion, King Qin and Cheng Xi both looked at each other and smiled, King Qin closed the door and said to Cheng Xi: "Xi'er, it seems that the two women in the palace are thieves!" ”

"Yes, my lord, you can inform your people and let them stop for a few days, otherwise, there will be eunuchs and palace maids to keep vigil for them every night, and our plans for the future will not be implemented." Cheng Xi squinted his eyes and said, a sly light appeared between his eyebrows.

"Okay, listen to the lady's arrangement for the husband." King Qin said softly, he looked at Cheng Xi with blazing eyes, he felt that he had picked up a treasure!

I really don't know what Cheng Xi's little head is in? How could she always come up with these quirky solutions?

It turned out that the queen mother and Concubine Rong had nightmares every night during this time, dreaming of the former queen, it was not what they guessed, it was not the former queen who came to trouble them at all, and the initiators of all this were Cheng Xi and King Qin.

Cheng Xi told King Qin that day that she had a medicine that was colorless and odorless, and as long as she scattered these medicinal powders in the bedroom of the queen mother and Concubine Rong, she could give them nightmares.

As the saying goes: don't do bad things for people, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. The content of this nightmare naturally depends on what bad things they have done, who they have killed, and who is the person they are most afraid of? What's the biggest fear of being discovered?

No, the queen mother and Concubine Rong have nightmares every night these days, and the whole person is a lot haggard, the palace maid and the eunuch are worried that something is wrong with their bodies, so they invited the imperial doctor, but the imperial doctor couldn't find anything wrong when they saw it, just let them relax, don't worry too much, and prescribed a few calming medicines to them.

And after they took the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, they didn't get better at all, and when they should have nightmares, they still continued to have nightmares.

And because they are thieves, they dare not let the emperor know, and the emperor now sees them with a haggard look, and they are all unappetizing, and they have stepped into their dormitory for a long time, and stayed with other concubines.

They were not favored by the emperor, and they were plagued by nightmares again and again, and after a few days, they looked as if they were several years old.

"Lord Wang, judging from the news from your subordinates, the queen mother and Concubine Rong have a share in the things of the past!" Cheng Xi said with some seriousness.

"Yes, this is what I didn't expect, I thought that the relationship between the two of them was like fire and water, and it was impossible for them to join forces to deal with the queen mother, but I didn't expect them to open my eyes. It's just that they joined forces to poison the queen mother, and the queen got the position she wanted, but Concubine Rong was making a wedding dress for her, how could she swallow this breath? King Qin said with some puzzlement.

Concubine Rong's maiden family is the Protector's Mansion, and the Protector is both the master of the horse and her brother, and the princess is her sister-in-law, and the power of her mother's family is no worse than that of the queen whose family is a civil official.

What they couldn't figure out was why their father would make the Li family the queen, and the Lu family would be the concubine?

"If she doesn't swallow it, she has to swallow it, maybe her father thinks that the power of Concubine Rong's mother is too strong, in order to balance the power of the harem and the princes, she did it intentionally." Cheng Xi actually doesn't know much about this, she is originally a modern person, where do she know about these ancient harem things, she knows a little bit but has just watched a few palace fighting dramas.

"Forget it, leave her alone, the most important thing now is to expose their ugly faces in front of my father." King Qin said, he reached out and grabbed Cheng Xi's hand that knocked on his head, "Don't knock, it will be stupid to knock again, what should I do?" ”

Looking at her meditating and thinking, he was a little distressed, such a brain-burning thing should have been his own business, but Cheng Xi racked his brains in order to help him come up with ideas.

"It's your princess who is stupid, you can't dislike me for being stupid!" Cheng Xi held King Qin's hand and said with a smile.

"Hmmm! No matter what you do, I love it! King Qin continued Cheng Xi's words.

In the next few days, there were no screams from the Empress Mother's Weiyang Palace and Concubine Rong's bedroom, and the palace maids and eunuchs were relieved and slept peacefully.

And the queen mother and Rong Guifei were finally able to sleep until dawn with peace of mind, and they were also relieved, thinking that it must be the ghost of the former queen who had left.

What they don't know is that this is just the beginning, and there is still a lot of drama waiting for them!
