Who cares about belated family affection? Family members beg for forgiveness

Seeing that Lan Kexin was still hesitant to take action, he wanted to help the empress dowager with the treatment.

Even Nanny An was furious.

"Miss Lan, don't you want to help the Queen Mother with her treatment? Do you really think the Queen Mother can't do anything to you?"

Lan Kexin looked innocent:

"Madam An, you can't wrongly accuse me. My knee is already injured. Can't I just rub it?"

Nanny An was displeased:

"Others kneel for an hour or two without being as squeamish as you, yet you are deliberately going against the Queen Mother?"

Lan Kexin looked puzzled:

"Madam An, I don't know what grudge you have against me that would cause you to frame me like this."

Nanny An was stunned by Lan Kexin's question.

Lan Kexin kindly helped her explain.

"Isn't it your first day massaging the Queen Mother? You know exactly how to massage someone to make them feel comfortable.

But you deliberately made the Queen Mother suffer unbearable pain in order to frame me and torture me, right?"

Nanny An was frightened and worried that the Queen Mother would blame her, so she quickly defended herself:

"No, Queen Mother, this old servant did not do that. She was just making up an excuse not to make you sick."

The Queen Mother said angrily:

"I don't care what grudges you have, Miss Lan, you must relieve my pain now."

The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with coldness and disgust.

Lan Kexin walked straight past Nanny An and went to the Empress Dowager's side, giving her acupuncture with golden needles.

This time, for some unknown reason, the Queen Mother didn't feel any pain at all.

Maybe it's because my head hurts.

After only two injections, the pain in the Queen Mother's head was slowly subsiding.

The Queen Mother felt it most clearly and breathed a long sigh of relief.

After the empress dowager recovered, Lan Kexin pulled out the golden needle and put it in her sleeve.

When Nanny An saw her action, she pouted in disdain.

What a country girl! It's just a pair of gold needles. Is it necessary to treasure them so much?

The Queen Mother was no longer in any pain and was in the mood to deal with their affairs.

In fact, the most important thing is what Lan Kexin said just now, and the massage technique of Nanny An.

The Queen Mother glanced directly at Nanny An.

"Madam An, tell me! What happened just now?"

Nanny An was so frightened that she fell to her knees, completely ignoring the pain in her knees.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I did not do that."

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and looked at Lan Kexin.

"Tell me, what went wrong with Aunt An?"

Lan Kexin was speechless. She was just making it up just now, how could she know?

Being stared at by Lan Kexin, Nanny An felt her scalp tingling.

"Miss Lan, the Queen Mother is asking you a question. Why are you looking at me?"

A golden light flashed in Lan Kexin's eyes.

"Madam An, if you don't feel guilty, why are you afraid?"

"Whoever feels guilty, stop talking nonsense."

The Queen Mother listened to the conversation between the two.

To be honest, she believed in Nanny An, after all, she was her dowry nanny.

"Miss Lan, you'd better come up with some solid evidence. You know my temper."

Is this a direct threat to her?

There was a hint of pride in Nanny An's eyes.

It’s just that the Queen Mother didn’t see it.

"Queen Mother, every time I treated you, you were in excruciating pain. This time, you didn't feel anything, did you?"

There is nothing to deny in front of a doctor.

"This is because the massage technique is wrong. Aunt An's hand must have pressed your sore spot."

"Your Majesty, I did not do anything wrong in the massage." Nanny An hurriedly explained.

Lan Kexin asked back:

"When you were massaging the Queen Mother, were your eyes closed? I saw it clearly."

Nanny An wanted to refute.

Lan Kexin pointed at the other maids in the room.

"I'm not the only one here. They're here too. You can ask them. There's always someone who can see it."

It is noon now, and Nanny An has the habit of taking a nap at this time.

She had indeed dozed off just now.

If the Queen Mother hadn't spoken, she wouldn't have reacted at all.

Nanny An paused.

The Queen Mother is also a smart person. How could she not know where the problem lies?

The Queen Mother's face darkened.

Nanny An hurriedly knelt down and begged the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty, this old servant was just careless for a moment and did not intentionally press the wrong position."

"Are you too old to be useful? You actually fell asleep while giving me a massage."

Nanny An: "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't mean to do that."

"Then you did it on purpose." Lan Kexin explained.

Nanny An was furious.

"Miss Lan, we have no hatred in the past, and no grudges in the present. Why are you targeting me, an old slave, like this?"

Lan Kexin glanced at her with disdain.

"Madam An, am I targeting you? If I find out you've done something wrong and you don't report it to the Queen Mother, then I'm targeting her. I don't have the courage to do that."

Now that the matter has been clarified, the Queen Mother is not only angry with Nanny An.

I was also angry with Lan Kexin.

She clearly saw Nanny An dozing off, but she didn't say anything to remind her. It was her fault.

Her second mistake was that she did not provide timely treatment when he had a headache.

No matter which of these two mistakes she made, she must be punished.

However, Nanny An must also be punished to prevent her from being careless in her work in the future.

She didn't want another poisonous spider incident.

"Since both of you are at fault, then kneel before me outside the palace gate until you recognize your mistakes."

Lan Kexin looked at the Queen Mother with a dark face?

"Queen Mother, I didn't mean to do anything. Why do you have to make me kneel?"

The Queen Mother said nothing and just stared at her closely.

Lan Kexin didn't care about other people's eyes and lifted her skirt directly.

Show your knees.

I saw a black bruise on the knee, it looked very serious.

"Your Majesty, I am suffering from knee pain."

The Queen Mother looked at her suspiciously.

"You only knelt for less than half an hour, how could it be so serious?"

Lan Kexin continued to lie:

"Your Majesty, I was in the countryside before, and I was immersed in ice water all year round.

My legs have long suffered from rheumatism. I can’t even kneel for an incense stick, let alone half an hour.”

Afraid that the Queen Mother wouldn't believe her, Lan Kexin met her gaze directly.

"Your Majesty, please ask Imperial Physician Tang or Imperial Physician Yuan to come and diagnose me to see if I am lying."

There was no trace of sympathy in the Queen Mother's eyes.

"You are a 15-year-old girl, and you have such a serious disease."

"I'm still enduring the pain and barely able to stand until now. If I were alone, I would have rolled on the ground long ago."

The Queen Mother kept observing Lan Kexin's expression.

I saw beads of sweat on her forehead and a muscle twitching on the side of her temple.

She couldn't make up her mind, wondering if Lan Kexin was lying to her?

Eunuch Tang is outside asking for a meeting.

The Queen Mother pursed her lips.

"You guys colluded."

Lan Kexin felt extremely aggrieved.

"Empress Dowager, Madam An can vouch for this fact on my behalf. It is not true."

Eunuch Tang walked into the inner hall with a smile on his face.

Bow respectfully to the Queen Mother.

"This old servant pays respect to the Queen Mother."

"Eunuch Tang, what's the urgent matter?"

Eunuch Tang glanced at Lan Kexin.

"The Sixth Prince is currently enjoying a medicinal bath. Imperial Doctor Tang is not proficient in acupuncture, so please ask Miss Lan to return."
