A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

Chapter 68 The Queen Mother Wakes Up

Lin Qingyang knew that if anything happened to the Queen Mother, he would be to blame.

Since this poison can kill a person in three days, I have no choice but to try it. After three days, it will be either life or death.

The emperor could only trust Lin Qingyang, "Okay, I'll give you three days."

Lin Qingyang lived in the Empress Dowager's palace to take care of her. The Emperor ordered the news to be blocked and no one except a few royal relatives knew what was happening in the palace.

Lin Qingyang carefully instructed the servants to follow the empress dowager's instructions regarding her diet and daily routine.

Lin Qingyang basically doesn't let others interfere with things that she can do herself. Even when she boils water, she sets up a stove in the yard and lets Xiao Anwang and Zhuang Yunlin watch over it.

She didn't trust anyone in the palace.

Fortunately, Zhuang Weining was able to help a little. As for bathing and changing clothes, men could not help, and the people around the Queen Mother did not dare to believe it, so only two women and their personal maids could do the work.

The two maids sent by the emperor were responsible for changing the empress dowager's clothes. They were very careful and meticulous, fearing that she would catch a cold.

A day later, it was time to feed the empress dowager medicine. Lin Qingyang simply asked someone to boil water and make tea, and when no one was paying attention, she was able to carefully put the medicine into the teapot.

The prince wanted to help but was stopped by Lin Qingyang, who said that he was the prince and was busy with government affairs and should not interfere.

To be honest, Lin Qingyang didn't quite trust the prince. After all, the Queen Mother and the prince were not very close, and the fewer people who knew about his medical methods, the better.

Every day, I was given acupuncture and medicine, and I was almost always dressed in bed. The prince couldn't help me.

The prince could only send people to guard the empress dowager's bedroom to prevent others from disturbing her and giving outsiders no opportunity to take advantage.

Prince An felt very distressed when he saw that Lin Qingyang was so busy and had lost weight.

But there is no other way. Only when the Queen Mother wakes up can everyone feel relieved.

Looking at Lin Qingyang's busy and serious look, Prince An thought about when he was injured. Lin Qingyang must have been like this at that time!

The three days of waiting were extremely painful, but hard work pays off and the Queen Mother woke up on the third day.

On the third day, shortly after taking a bath and receiving acupuncture, Zhuang Weining, who was guarding the Queen Mother, heard a sound. She stared at the Queen Mother for a long time, and finally saw her mouth move. Zhuang Weining heard her say "Water~".

"She's awake, she's awake, someone come quickly, the Queen Mother is awake."

Zhuang Weining shouted excitedly, and the maids and nannies around him went to call the people guarding outside, while others went to pour water.

"Grandma, you finally woke up. Here's some water for you."

Zhuang Weining held the Queen Mother's hand and talked, tears of excitement falling. The maid beside her brought tea, and she quickly helped the Queen Mother up and fed her a cup of tea.

Although the Queen Mother has been fed tea these days, her body will need more energy once she wakes up.

Lin Qingyang and others who were guarding outside also came into the inner chamber. Someone had already gone to call the emperor. When the empress dowager saw so many people around the bed, she was a little dazed for a moment.

"What's wrong with me? Why are you all here?"

Zhuang Weining kept pulling the Queen Mother, "Grandma, you scared Ning'er to death."

Little Prince An came to the front and pushed Zhuang Weining, who stood up and gave up his seat.

"Grandmother, you fainted. Don't scare people like this in the future." Prince An held back his sadness and suppressed his emotions. He couldn't let the Queen Mother worry.

The Queen Mother looked at herself, then at the people around her. The Crown Prince and Duke Qing were both there. It seemed that they had been guarding her for some time.

"How long have I slept?" asked the Queen Mother.

"Three days, Grandmother, you have slept for three days." said the prince.

The Queen Mother looked at Prince Xiao An and said, "Jing Sui, I have been sleeping for so long. Are you guys staying here all the time?"

"Grandmother, you are awake now. If you don't want to see us, we won't hang around in front of you."

"The Emperor has arrived..."

There was a sound outside.

"Mother, you're awake." The emperor came to the bed and Prince An gave up his seat.

"Mother, how do you feel now?" the emperor asked.

The Queen Mother waved her hands. "It's strange. I didn't feel unwell at all. Why did I faint?"

"Is it true that mother is not feeling unwell?" the emperor continued to ask.

"Really not, don't you know my body? Besides, I still have to watch Jing Sui and Jing Quan lick my great-grandson!"

After saying that, he looked at Prince Xiao An, the Crown Prince, and Lin Qingyang.

"Speaking of which, I am going to reward this Princess An this time. She has been treating you and giving you acupuncture these days. She has been by your side all the time and has lost weight."

After the emperor finished speaking, the empress dowager waved towards Lin Qingyang, and the seat next to the empress dowager was replaced by Lin Qingyang. The empress dowager took her hand and looked at her carefully.

"Princess An has become thin and haggard these past few days. You have all worked hard for an old woman like me. The Emperor should remember to reward you."

"That's natural."

"I'm much better now, and there's no need for so many people. Just go do what you need to do. You're all making trouble here. Jingsui and Qing'er can stay, and everyone else can go!"

The emperor led the others out of the bedroom, leaving only Prince Xiao An and Lin Qingyang and his wife in the room.

The Queen Mother still held Lin Qingyang's hand.

"You've only been married for a few days, but you're not in the mansion but come to my sickbed. Look, Qing'er has lost a lot of weight." After saying that, he touched Lin Qingyang's face with his hand, glanced at Prince Xiao An, and said, "My grandson must be very distressed."

Little Prince An lowered his head and glanced at Lin Qingyang without saying anything.

The Queen Mother continued, "There are no outsiders here now. I noticed that the people serving me just now were not originally from my palace. Tell me, what is going on with me?"

The Queen Mother seemed to have guessed something.

Lin Qingyang and Xiao An Wang looked at each other.

Lin Qingyang bit her lip, not knowing whether she should say it or not.

Prince An narrowed his eyes for a moment, then quickly recovered, "Grandmother, did anything special happen the day after Qing'er and I paid our respects after our wedding?"

Now that Prince Xiao An knew the general situation of the poison, Ah Ying told them what she had told Zhuang Yunlin.

The poison was administered seven days in advance, roughly one or two days after Prince An's wedding.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, it seemed that something was really going on.

She thought about it carefully and said, "It's been so long, there's nothing special to say."

She looked at the two people in front of her and continued, "I'm so happy that you just got married. It just so happened that Nanny Xi brought back the handkerchief that day, and I was thinking about you and letting me hold my great-grandson as soon as possible."

When they said this, their faces turned red.

"You're already married, why are you still so shy?" The Queen Mother had a smile on her face.

Lin Qingyang said, "Grandmother, did you eat anything delicious?"

Ah Ying said that the poison needed some "delicacies from the mountains and the sea" to induce, so the person who poisoned the Empress Dowager might have deliberately let her eat something good. After all, she is old and can't eat fish maw and shark fin every day.
