Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

The Queen Mother's tense nerves finally relaxed. She felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her body, and her mood became extremely relaxed. The fatigue and worry that had been accumulating in her heart for days suddenly dissipated like a puff of smoke.

A strong sense of sleepiness washed over the Queen Mother like a surging tide. She felt her eyelids growing heavier and heavier, and her body gradually lost strength, unable to hold on any longer. So, the Queen Mother slowly lay down on the bed, and almost the moment she lay down, she quickly fell into a sweet dream.

The Empress Dowager slept soundly and completely unconscious. As time passed, seeing that she had slept for a full half day and still showed no signs of waking, Qing'er began to worry. In desperation, she quickly sent for the Imperial Hospital to summon the Imperial Physician.

However, the imperial physician hadn't arrived yet, but Ziwei had arrived at the Empress Dowager's chambers first. Qing'er saw Ziwei, as if she had found a savior. She hurried forward, took her hand, and said, "Ziwei, the Empress Dowager hasn't slept well for several days, and today she's sleeping so well that she won't wake up! Please go in and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Ziwei hurried into the bedroom and came to the Queen Mother's bed to examine her carefully. She saw that her eyes were closed and her breathing was steady, but there were very obvious dark circles around her eyes, and she looked haggard. Ziwei couldn't help but sigh inwardly. After all, the Queen Mother was an elderly woman, and her sleep quality was indeed getting worse day by day.

Afterwards, Ziwei turned to Qing'er and said, "Qing'er, you all go out first. I'll stay here to guard the Queen Mother. Don't worry, the Queen Mother will wake up safely in two hours." Although Qing'er had doubts in her heart, seeing Ziwei's confident look, she nodded and led the others out of the bedroom.

After everyone left, Ziwei began to comb the Queen Mother's body. She was old and couldn't do it too aggressively, otherwise she wouldn't be able to bear the pain.

After finally clearing the last blockage in her body, Ziwei stopped and sat aside, counting her fingers boredly.

The Queen Mother slowly awoke to an indescribable stench that seemed to envelop her. She instinctively covered her mouth and nose, only to discover with horror that the nauseating smell was emanating from her own body! The unbearable stickiness of her body felt more like countless tiny insects crawling across her skin, driving her to the point of madness.

"Madame Gui, Madame Gui..." The Queen Mother called out the name of her personal maid with difficulty while struggling to sit up.

At this time, a clear voice was heard: "Grandmother, have you woken up? Please get up first, I will use the cleaning technique to help you clean up." It turned out that Ziwei was standing beside the bed.

Although the Queen Mother was full of doubts and didn't understand why Ziwei was here, she felt unwell all over at the moment and had no time to think about it. She could only slowly get up from the bed as Ziwei said.

However, when she saw the scene clearly, she almost fainted again - she saw that all the clothes she was wearing had turned black, and the originally snow-white quilt now emitted a strong and pungent stench.

Seeing the empress dowager in such a state of disarray, Ziwei quickly formed a seal with her hands. She muttered something, her fingers dancing nimbly, and faint rays of light flickered and flowed at her fingertips.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes wide, trying to see clearly what kind of magic Ziwei was performing, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make out any clues. In the end, she could only cooperate obediently and open her arms.

Not long after, a miracle happened! The Queen Mother suddenly felt a cool and refreshing sensation all over her body, and the previous unbearable odor disappeared instantly.

Looking down again, I found that my clothes were brand new. The black dirt and mud were all gone. Instead, there was a faint fragrance of grass and trees lingering at the tip of my nose, making me feel relaxed and happy.

The same goes for beds!

"This - Ziwei, what on earth is going on with Aijia?"

Ziwei carefully picked up an exquisite bronze mirror and gently placed it in front of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother slowly raised her head and looked at the mirror. When she saw the face reflected in the mirror that was both familiar and unfamiliar, she couldn't help but be slightly startled.

She hesitantly extended her fingers and gently stroked the face in the mirror, as if trying to feel the traces of time. However, she was surprised to find that apart from a few faint lines at the corners of the eyes, there were no other obvious wrinkles.

This face was clearly the same one she had more than 20 years ago! Could it be that she had truly transformed back into her younger self, as if in a dream?

The Queen Mother stared at herself in the mirror quietly, as if time had frozen in that moment. After a long moment, she reluctantly turned her gaze away from the mirror, turned to look at Ziwei beside her, and asked softly, "Did you do all this?"

Ziwei smiled and nodded, replying, "Grandmother, that's exactly what Ziwei did. If you're used to having Nanny Gui serving you, then Ziwei can make her look younger."

Hearing Ziwei's words, the Queen Mother felt a mixture of emotions. She had only met this kind and intelligent woman twice.

The last time we met, I never gave her a good look from beginning to end, and I didn't even prepare a decent gift.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help showing a look of guilt. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "My good child, you really don't blame the Royal Grandmother for being so cold to you that day? After all, when we first met, I... Alas!" The Queen Mother sighed softly, not knowing what else she could say to make up for her previous mistake.

The Queen Mother was filled with regret, and she began to reflect on whether she had been too arbitrary and prejudiced. Her son valued the country so much. If Ziwei was truly a power-hungry person, how could he have doted on her so much?

Ziwei shook her head. "Grandmother, don't worry too much. I don't mind. When the transportation in our Qing Dynasty is developed in the future, Grandmother can also travel around and see our beautiful country. The scenery is picturesque. There are many beautiful places."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded. "Ziwei, you're talking about a tiger, right? It should run faster than a horse, right? If a tiger were to pull the cart, it would surely travel a thousand miles a day, right?"

Ziwei looked at her in horror. I was talking to you about cars and trains, but you want me to help you train a tiger to pull a cart?
