The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 219

Yinan walked back and forth in the room, looking nervous, holding the medicine bag in her hand and not knowing what to do.

Last night, Yi Nan wanted to add medicine to the queen's meal, but stopped again.

Because she knew that if the queen had something to do, she would not be able to escape the responsibility, and the angry king of Chu would definitely execute all the maids who waited on him like this.

Who can she expect to save her then?
Besides, the queen treats Yinan well, because she is a personal servant girl, and whenever the queen has any concerns, she will tell her.

The relationship between the two is no longer an ordinary master-servant relationship.

But what about the lives of parents and younger brother?
One night, Yinan was tortured by this incident and couldn't sleep. The next day, someone asked someone to take sick leave for her and she hid in her room worrying about it.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Yi Nan glanced, her tone a little irritated.

"I'm Madam Zheng's maidservant. Madam asked me to deliver something to the girl." said the maidservant outside.

"thing?"

Yi Nan shuddered, feeling a bad premonition, hurriedly opened the door, and saw a black wooden box in the hands of the maid outside.

Exactly the same as yesterday.

The maid handed the wooden box to Yi Nan and left, as if she was afraid of something and left quickly.

Yi Nan held the wooden box and returned to the room with a dazed expression.

Putting the black wooden box on the table, my hands trembled and I dared not open it.

Now that it has been delivered, I have to look at what is inside, I may already know the answer in my heart, after opening the box.

Yinan burst into tears when she saw what was inside.

It's a bloody nose.

Not knowing whether it was his father or his younger brother, Yinan was tortured inside.

"The devil, the devil!"

Yi Nan was in agony, squatting on the ground covering her face and crying.

Knowing that this was a warning from Zheng Xiu, she asked her to quickly put the medicine package in the queen's meal as planned.

Yinan knew that no matter what, she couldn't delay it any longer and had to make a decision.

Otherwise, even if you save your parents and younger brothers, they are all inhuman, how can you survive?

Think of it...

Yi Nan stood up abruptly, hugged the wooden box on the table and left in a hurry.

What she has to do is to expose Zheng Xiu's evil deeds to the queen. Anyway, the queen is the master of the harem, as long as the queen is willing to help her, there is still a chance of survival.

Chu Palace, the Queen's bedroom.

"This, what is this?"

Queen Chu was so frightened when she saw the contents in the wooden box that she quickly hid back and looked at Yi Nan with a horrified look.

Yinan cried and knelt down, begging: "Please save my parents and brother, the queen." After speaking, she kowtowed three times, her forehead was already red.

"What the hell happened?"

The queen saw that Yinan's head was bleeding from knocking, so she stepped forward to help her up quickly.

Yi Nan wept, took out a medicine bag from her cuff, and handed it to the queen.

"What is this?" The queen asked puzzledly after taking the medicine bag.

"Madam Zheng gave this to the servant girl last night, and she wanted the servant girl to put this thing in the queen's meal." Yinan cried.

"What?" The queen's eyes widened suddenly, she couldn't believe it and said, "Is this poison?"

"Although this servant doesn't know what it is, it must not be a good thing. Mrs. Zheng even threatened me with the lives of my parents and younger brother. If I don't obey, then..." He pointed at the things in the wooden box on the table.

If they don't obey, they will cut off their noses and ears from their parents and younger brothers...

"It's too cruel." The queen clenched her fists and blushed.

After exerting so much force, my stomach actually hurt a little, and I couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"What's wrong with the queen?" Yinan hurriedly stepped forward to help her and asked with concern.

"It's not a problem, it's just that I'm going to give birth soon." The queen waved her hand, and after a while, her face recovered. She looked at Yinan and said, "The king is going to patrol the border, and he won't be back until the king comes back." , I will take you to confront Zheng Xiu in front of the king."

"However, my parents are still in her hands, and she will send a wooden box every day. I'm afraid they won't be able to support the king's return." Yinan cried.

The queen's face turned ugly, she grabbed Yi Nan and said, "Go, let's go to the queen mother first, and let her make decisions for you."

It was the Queen Mother who chose her to be the Queen of Chu back then, but now the Queen Mother just doesn't care about the harem.

But Queen Mother Wei's words are still very useful.

Before the two of them walked out of the palace gate, they found a very large guard of honor approaching in the distance.

There were hundreds of people divided into two teams. On the left was a eunuch dressed in gray and on the right was a maid dressed in green.

Four bearers carried Zheng Xiu here. Zheng Xiu was wearing a very luxurious white gauze dress today. He was gently shaking the fan in his hand and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Mrs. Zheng is here."

The eunuch male duck shouted, and the sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the hall.

"Meet the queen."

Zheng Xiu got off the sedan chair and bowed slightly with a smile. The maidservant behind hurriedly stepped forward to hold the long skirt.

"Hmph, I don't dare take it." The queen snorted coldly. Looking at the honor guard, she couldn't help but sneer: "Mrs. Zheng, what a grand pomp."

Zheng Xiu didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Where is the queen going?"

"Of course I will go to the Queen Mother to expose you!" The Queen stopped going around in circles, Zheng Xiu dared to poison her, it was a direct shame.

"Expose me? I don't know what my sister did to make my sister so angry. If it's really my sister's fault, my sister deserves me." Zheng Xiu bowed in fear.

Seeing Zheng Xiu's behavior, Yinan next to him was furious and said, "Mrs. Zheng, don't be hypocritical here. You arrested my parents and younger brother, and cut off their noses and ears, just to force me to give birth to the queen." The evidence of the poisonous person is all there, and the queen mother must have a way to deal with you."

"Are all the personal and material evidences there?" Zheng Xiu was surprised, and then asked: "What kind of personal and material evidence?"

Yi Nan quickly raised a medicine bag in her hand, and said coldly: "This is the medicine bag you gave me, and you want me to put it in the queen's meal, do you still want to argue?"

"This medicine was obtained by my sister so hard for her sister. How can it be poisonous?" Zheng Xiu said in surprise.

"You worked so hard for it?" Yinan sneered and said, "You're lying to ghosts, I don't believe you would be so kind."

"How dare you, a little maid, to slander my wife like this? Well, what if it's not poison?" Zheng Xiu sneered.

"If it's not poison, let's do whatever you want." Yi Nan raised his head, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Okay, okay, okay." Zheng Xiu clapped his hands and nodded with a smile: "Okay, how about we test it on the spot in front of so many people?"

"How to test?" the queen frowned.

Zheng Xiu flicked his sleeves lightly, and suddenly a medical officer came from behind, about forty years old, dressed in black civilian clothes.

"This is Dr. Shen from the palace. Let him be tested in public," Zheng Xiu pointed.

Queen Shen, Medical Officer, also recognized this doctor. She often checked her pulse some time ago and nodded: "Okay, let him test it."

Yinan had doubts, why did Zheng Xiu bring the medical officer with him? Did he want to test the medicine for a long time but failed?

Then he asked, "Mrs. Zheng, why did you bring Dr. Shen here? Did you prepare for it?"

Zheng Xiu pretended to be angry and said: "I am worried about the queen's health, so I brought the medical officer here to take a look. But you, the maid, have framed me again and again. Is it because you are the maid beside the queen? Madam won't dare to deal with you?"

Yinan sneered and said, "We haven't finished the test yet, let's talk about it when we get the results." After speaking, he took out the package of medicine.

After Doctor Shen took it, he opened the medicine bag, smelled the medicinal materials inside, and then tasted it himself.

Then he cupped his hands and said, "Queen, ma'am, this packet of medicine is just an ordinary tonic and there is nothing wrong with it."

"What?" Yinan was shocked and shook her head in horror: "No, it's impossible, you must have been bribed by Zheng Xiu."
