I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 36: Empress Chen pretends to be crazy to protect herself

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, in the capital of Dayao - Jingning City, in the Dayao Imperial Palace.

Because Concubine Mu had tried to test the emperor's intention to depose Empress Chen on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month before the New Year, when the emperor was removing Chen and welcoming the new year, but the emperor did not show any attitude, which made Concubine Mu very angry, and she wanted to get rid of Empress Chen as soon as possible.

So she secretly sent out the Shadowless Army to find the body of the third prince Qi Zhen as soon as possible. He wanted to give the emperor a final blow and make him face the fact that his legitimate son had died. Only then could her son become the legitimate legitimate son and she could ascend to the throne and be called the queen.

Unfortunately, the Shadowless Army searched all over the country but still couldn't find the body of the deposed prince. Concubine Mu was so angry that she planned to kill Empress Chen.

It's a pity that Concubine Mu didn't know that Empress Chen had been taking the antidote for many days in a row, so the poison had already been eliminated a lot and her consciousness was becoming clearer and clearer.

On this day, Concubine Mu brought four trusted palace maids with her - Ranyue, Xuanyun, Chenlan and Muxi. They had four things on their plates - a dagger, white silk, poisoned wine and poisoned cakes.

Concubine Mu came to the cold palace with a haughty look on her face, ordered someone to open the door, and went straight to the bed of the sleeping Queen Chen. Concubine Mu pulled up the torn quilt, threw it off the bed, stepped on it, pointed at Queen Chen and cursed: "You damn crazy woman! You are still lucky! Since I can't kill you with poison again and again, I will kill you today!"

Unexpectedly, Empress Chen shivered due to the cold, and Concubine Mu's scolding also alerted her. She curled up and dared not open her eyes. Listening to the harsh insults, she clenched her hands into two fists in front of her chest in anger. But at this moment, she immediately calmed down her anger and thought secretly: "This treacherous concubine actually came to the cold palace in person today! My current situation is all due to her! It seems that as long as I am alive, she will be like a thorn in the back and unable to sleep or eat. No! No matter how humiliating it is, I must live, my Zhen'er is still waiting for me! Only by living can I have hope of revenge! Only by living can I kill my enemies! Not only must I live, I must live better than my enemies!"

After some thought, she slowly sat up, with her disheveled hair and dirty face, and glanced indifferently at the five people in front of her.

Concubine Mu stepped forward, grabbed Empress Chen by the collar and said, "Old witch! Crazy woman! Old witch! Didn't you inherit the true teachings of the old lady of the An family? Where is your miraculous healing power? How come you can't even save yourself? Where is your youth-preserving technique? Where is His Majesty's infatuation with you? Where is your phoenix crown and bridal robe?! Why are you so pitiful now?! You look like neither human nor ghost?! If I were you, I would have died long ago!"

Empress Chen naturally heard every word carefully and clearly. Every word of insult uttered by Concubine Mu was imprinted in her heart. These harsh and insulting words were like sharp swords, piercing her heart again and again. Countless times of despair had made her unusually calm.

At this time, she folded her hands in front of her chest and said in panic: "You... who are you?! I don't know you?! You are all so beautiful! Hehehe, you are so beautiful! So beautiful..."

Concubine Mu pushed and swung her collar hard, and the skinny Empress Chen immediately rolled over on the couch, coughing and wheezing. She said tearfully, "Pretty sister, you hit me! Pretty sister, you hit me! I'm going to tell my mother, I'm going to tell my mother!"

Concubine Mu shot at Empress Chen's face left and right, slap - slap - slap - slap - slap! Not until blood flowed from the corners of Empress Chen's mouth did Concubine Mu stop. She pinched her chin and said, "You old witch! I actually served you for several years! And you still pretended to be affectionate and wanted to grant me a marriage. Hahaha - hahaha - hahaha, it's so funny! You never knew that what I want is not the Queen, but the Empress Dowager! Hahaha - hahaha - hahaha!"

Empress Chen hurriedly prostrated herself on the couch and said, "Empress Dowager... Empress Dowager... Who is it?!"

Concubine Mu looked at her viciously and said, "You crazy woman! Stop pretending! You haven't eaten the food I brought you, and the poison in your body has been alleviated! I wonder if you can pretend until later?!"

Queen Chen squatted up with great effort, her face red as she tried hard, and said with a smile: "I want to pee and poop! I want to poop and pee!" She immediately defecated on the couch, and the whole room was filled with stench.

Concubine Mu covered her nose in disgust and turned around. When she wanted to run out, she saw Empress Chen threw the stinky poop on her sleeve "pa pa pa" on Concubine Mu's hair, forehead, and the robes of the palace maids!

Immediately, Concubine Mu and the palace maids ran out of the house retching, leaving only Empress Chen, still smiling and saying, "Don't go! Pretty sister, don't go!"

Here, Concubine Mu was no longer in the mood to order Empress Chen to die, and hurriedly went back to the Purple Palace to change clothes while retching. After this incident, she couldn't help but wonder: "How could this madwoman really be completely crazy?! That's not right, the spies in the cold palace reported that she hadn't eaten poisonous food for a long time! Oh! This is the problem! Since she didn't eat the food we prepared, how did she survive for so many days?! Could someone secretly send her food! But the cold palace is full of my spies, these things can't happen! What is the reason why she hasn't died until now?!"

Just when she was puzzled, the guard came to report: "The emperor has arrived!"

Concubine Mu hurried to meet him, and the emperor was furious and said, "I heard that my beloved concubine went to the cold palace to visit the queen today. Is that true?!"

Concubine Mu cried and said, "It's business! I thought about how much the Queen had done for me in the past, and how much more she had done for me, so I thought about going to see her, hoping that she can get better soon. I know that the Queen is a skilled doctor, and looking at the entire Dayao, besides the national doctor An Jia, only the two sisters can cure your majesty's headache."

The emperor's anger subsided a little, and he turned around and said, "I know that my beloved concubine is concerned about my headache. But I will make it clear to you today! The queen has saved my life many times! When we were in love, I promised her that no matter what happened in the future, I would not take the lives of them and their son! Even if I had to be demoted to commoners, I would not kill them!"

After saying this, the emperor turned away angrily and shouted to his trusted eunuch, "Shi Chengyu! Please return to the palace!" Shi Chengyu immediately accompanied the emperor away.

In the Zichao Hall, only the stunned Concubine Mu was left. She was so filled with anger, surprise and disappointment that she even forgot to see the Emperor off respectfully.
