Chapter 109: The Demon Queen
The crown prince looked up at the queen suddenly, his lips squirmed, and after a while, he shouted in horror: "Queen Mother! ”
The queen took a half step back and looked at the prince, who was slowly kneeling down because of a splitting headache.
Looking distressedly at the prince who was rolling on the ground because of a headache, she slowly lit the oil lamps in the room one by one.
The prince's suppressed voice of pain echoed throughout the hall, and the queen stood aside and looked at the prince lying on the ground, her eyes falling one after another.
"Queen Mother, the emperor is wrong! Queen mother! Please give the queen mother the antidote to the emperor! Yes! ”
"The Queen Mother also wants to give you the antidote, but." The queen squatted down, held the prince's head with both hands, and watched him saliva also run down his lips because of the pain, and his sideburns were soaked with sweat, "You have to remember this pain, do you know?" ”
"Remember, child! Queen mother! The child remembers, the child never dares again! ”
The queen hugged the crown prince into her arms, and tears rolled down her cheeks, "Where is there a mother in the world who doesn't love her child, but the emperor, you have a different heart for the mother, and the queen mother is so bitter." The queen mother plans everything for you, how can you do something sorry for the queen mother. ”
She gently pressed her face against the prince's forehead, like when she was a child, she coaxed the prince to sleep, "The queen mother does not believe your words." The queen mother has been in this harem many times. I can't be fooled by you in a pinch. ”
"Ahh The prince could no longer plead, and he rolled over from the queen and was about to hit the pillar.
The servant on the side hurriedly stopped the prince, "Queen Mother, you let me die!" Let me die! ”
"It's not going to die." The queen's long nails wiped the tears under her eyes, "It's just that it will make you hurt a little and grow a long memory." Then she said to the two servants beside the prince, "Tie up the prince in case the prince does something stupid." ”
"Yes." The servants answered, and found two hemp ropes from the outside to tie up the prince.
The prince's hands were tied behind his back, and his mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth.
He was like a wriggling maggot, lying on the ground, and where he was touching the ground, he was already soaked with sweat.
The queen squatted beside him and said softly: "Emperor, even if you shout loudly, this entire Jiaofang Palace is full of people from this palace, and they have all taken the medicine of this palace, if there is no antidote, they will feel unbearable pain like you." ”
"So you can rest assured, as long as you listen to the queen mother." Bowing down, the crown prince could feel her hot breathing: "The entire royal family is ours, and you won't be in pain anymore." ”
The queen still kept a straight face, quietly watching the prince in pain for a moment, until the prince fell asleep, she said: "The prince is tired, serve him to bathe and change clothes, find him a new clothes to wear, remember not to let others see that you know?" ”
"Yes!" The minions hurriedly answered, hunched over and lifted the prince from the cold ground, not daring to even look at the queen.
The queen is very satisfied with their current appearance, and in the struggle with Concubine Shu for more than 20 years, she profoundly discovered that it is good to be a queen, as long as the Son of Heaven does not know, she can do whatever she wants in the harem.
She thought: Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu, you and my sisters, if you hadn't framed me once, I wouldn't have left room for others to do things, and the more room you leave for others, the greater the possibility that he would betray me.
So what can you do if you want Your Majesty to train your son? There will definitely not be my son who is obedient, and there will be no son who is noble, and the final winner must be me in the life of my struggle with you.
Turning her head, she saw that it was already dark outside the door, and six handmaidens entered the room and shut the darkness out.
She peered through the crack in the door until it was slammed shut.
The maidservants gathered around the queen and waited for the queen to freshen up.
The queen stretched out her arms, and her shoulders were sore from the heavy clothes she wore every day, as if two huge iron mounds were falling on her arms.
Although she felt a little hard, she was willing to work hard.
Kneeling in front of the dressing table, the maidservants removed her heavy hair ornaments and began to comb her long hair with a comb.
Holding the oil lamp to the bronze mirror, she stroked her face against it.
She knew that she was no longer young, and the wrinkles around her eyes had already appeared a lot, which she couldn't compare with Concubine Shu.
"Luckily, there are no gray hairs yet." She said, then reached out to touch her faint crescent eyebrows, and she whispered again in the silent room: "Today's makeup is a little spent, tomorrow I will call someone to prescribe some beauty decoction for me." ”
"Yes." When the maidservants answered in unison, they did not dare to squeak, and let her talk to herself.
The queen said something again, and the maidservants waited for her as if they had not heard.
The minions of Jiaofang Hall were frightened by the suspicion of the queen's mother, and there were once people who dared to take a few beautiful words, but then the people who answered the beautiful words died, so in the hearts of the slaves and maids, the queen was a crazy person.
After all, in order to control his own son, the person who drugged his own son, and the person who watched his own son beg for mercy in pain, is not something that normal people can do.
The queen's eyes are also a little narrow, if she was young, she should have been a pair of beautiful fox eyes, but now there are many more folds around the eyes, so it looks like an old fox has a yin and sour feeling.
Of course, these can't be seen before makeup, and only after removing makeup, it's scary to look at.
With three points of popularity, seven points of demonic spirit. Coupled with the things she did, it was indeed similar to that of a demon.
When she lay down, the six maidservants sat on their knees on small cushions, side by side, and three people on one side, all dressed in tight and loose cloth dresses, bowed their heads, and kept a motionless vigil for her.
The floor was red, and a servant girl stared at the floor, and finally couldn't bear to yawn secretly, and then she looked carefully at the position of the bed, and seeing that there was no movement on the bed, she hurriedly knelt down again.
In this way, until ten o'clock in the morning, before dawn, a new maidservant finally came to change and groom the queen in their place.
The Queen Mother has died, so the queen doesn't have to visit the Queen Mother, she gets dressed and waits for the concubines of the East and West Six Palaces to come and visit her.
She opened her eyes and looked at the bronze mirror to pick at the flaws of the maid after makeup, and she was bound to be ten years younger than after makeup.
Her face dangled in front of the bronze mirror, and she traced her eyebrows again and again, and finally when she was satisfied, she looked away from the bronze mirror and ordered, "You can comb my hair for me." ”
