Chapter 34: Disfigured Palace Maid vs. Cold-blooded Emperor
"what"

The Queen Mother let out another extremely shrill scream.

The sound was so loud that it frightened all the servants in the Cining Palace and they trembled all over. Their first reaction was that something had happened to the Empress Dowager.

Afterwards, they all ran to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Qiuyun soon appeared in the Queen Mother's bedroom, and saw the Queen Mother lying on the ground twitching all over with a very painful expression.

It looked like he had a stroke, which was really scary.

Qiu Yun's face changed, and she stretched out her hand to the eunuchs and palace maids who were stunned and shouted, "What are you all still standing there for? Why don't you quickly carry the Queen Mother to the bed?"

The eunuchs and palace maids around reacted instantly.

Some lifted her shoulders, some lifted her legs, some pulled her waist, and several people worked together to carefully move the empress dowager to the bed.

The Queen Mother broke her leg, and in the process of moving her body, she inevitably suffered more pain from her broken leg.

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts, you dogs, are you trying to murder me?"

The Queen Mother was shaking with pain, her face turned pale, and she kept shouting in pain, but she still had the energy to curse.

These palace maids and eunuchs were already frightened, and the Queen Mother's scolding made them even more frightened.

His heart began to panic, his hands began to tremble, and he lost control of the empress dowager and dropped her to the ground.

Qiuyun was watching from the side, and her heart leapt into her throat when she saw the empress dowager about to fall to the ground.

He didn't care about his headache and old age, and just rushed forward with his old limbs.

He used his body to cushion the empress dowager's lower body, and instantly a human cushion appeared.

With Qiuyun as a human cushion, the empress dowager did not fall to the ground.

But because of the friction between the broken leg bones, she still screamed in pain, and her old face turned a little paler.

Qiu Yun was hit so hard by the Queen Mother that she immediately foamed at the mouth, her eyes rolled back, and she looked like she was about to die.

Now, all the servants in the Queen Mother's bedroom were terrified.

After they realized what was happening, they all carried the empress dowager to the bed.

He helped Nanny Qiu up from the ground and carried her to sit on a chair nearby.

In this situation, without anyone telling them to do so, the smart eunuchs would go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to ask for the imperial physician.

Then some people fetched water, some wiped their faces, and some cleaned up.
The entire Cining Palace was in chaos.

The Buddhist hall in the Cining Palace.

Yu Yao opened her mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

It took me a long time to come back to my senses after being shocked, and then I felt guilty.

She originally just wanted to punish the Queen Mother and give her a headache for a few days, so how did it turn out like this?
Although the result was a little beyond her expectations, she still smiled unkindly when she saw how miserable the Queen Mother was.

The depression in my heart also dissipated completely and disappeared completely.

Yu Yao withdrew her spiritual consciousness and no longer paid attention to the Queen Mother.

With such a big commotion in the Cining Palace, I'm sure the entire harem will know the news soon and rush here together.

The Emperor and Empress will definitely be the first to come.

Then other concubines in the harem would also come to show their concern for the Queen Mother.

Maybe the hat will be put on her then.

It was because of her that as soon as she appeared in the Cining Palace, something happened to the Empress Dowager.

When Yu Yao thought about this, she couldn't sit still anymore.

He stood up quickly, put the cushion under his feet back into the corner, and knelt down obediently.

She was kneeling in the Buddhist temple as punishment, and the Queen Mother's affairs had nothing to do with her.

Soon, more than a dozen imperial doctors appeared in the Cining Palace.

Each imperial physician carried a large medicine box on his back, and all of them had gray beards. One could tell at a glance that they were all experienced imperial physicians with rich experience in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Even the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Gu Yun, came in person.

He was in a hurry and ran out of breath, which showed how urgent it was. Qiu Yun ignored the pain and stood up tremblingly. He said to Gu Yuanzheng, "Gu Yuanzheng, the Queen Mother has been complaining about headaches and leg pains. Can you come and see what's going on?"

"It's natural!"

Gu Yuanzheng handed the medicine box to the eunuch who was accompanying him, looked at Qiuyun, and asked, "Tell me the details first, so that I can check for the Queen Mother."

Only by clarifying the situation can we conduct targeted inspections and save a lot of time.

Before Qiuyun could speak, a round-faced palace maid in pink clothes hurriedly narrated what she had seen.

This is Su Bai, the Queen Mother’s personal maid. If anything happens to the Queen Mother, she will be the first one to be unable to escape.

Who made her not serve the Queen Mother but walk away instead?

When he saw the imperial physician appear, he acted like he had seen a savior and hurriedly told him what had happened.

After listening to Su Bai's story, Gu Yuanzheng realized that the empress dowager had fallen off the couch while taking a rest.

This was not a big deal, but the empress dowager was old and her bones were fragile. She kept complaining about leg pain and headaches, so she was afraid that she had fallen and hurt her legs and head.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuanzheng's face became serious and he began to examine the empress dowager personally.

The final conclusion was that the Queen Mother accidentally broke her leg when she fell off the couch, resulting in a fracture of her left leg, which was why she was in so much pain.

There was nothing unusual about her head, but the Queen Mother kept complaining of headaches, so there must be a reason.

Gu Yuanzheng couldn't figure out the reason either.

Other imperial doctors took turns to check on the empress dowager, but none of them could find anything wrong with her head.

Finally, a dozen imperial doctors gathered together to discuss and concluded that the Queen Mother had a headache because she was too frightened.

Upon hearing that the Empress Dowager's headache was just a result of a fright, all the servants in the Cining Palace breathed a sigh of relief.

But the Queen Mother did break her leg, which was a big deal.

The imperial physician soon became busy, some adjusting bones, some prescribing medicine.

Of course, the process is bound to involve screams.

Bone straightening is bound to be painful, and most people may not be able to bear it, let alone the empress dowager who lives a life of luxury.

Even Yu Yao who was kneeling in the Buddhist temple could hear the sharp scream clearly.

The empress, who had rushed to the Cining Palace in time after hearing the news, was so frightened that she trembled all over and the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground in an instant.

When I entered the door, my foot accidentally tripped over the threshold.

It seemed that the queen was about to fall to the ground.

He was supported by Ruonan who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.

Although they supported him in time, Ruonan and the Queen were both frightened and looked unhappy.

"My lady, are you okay?"

Ruonan was still calm, supporting the queen with one hand, and seeing that the queen's face was a little pale, she asked with a worried look.

The queen straightened her panicked expression, shook her head slightly, and said dignifiedly: "I'm fine, let's go in."

Although he said this, he couldn't help but grumble in his heart, feeling that something was a little weird in the Cining Palace today.

The Queen went in quickly.

After finding out what happened, we learned that the Queen Mother fell off the couch while taking a rest and accidentally broke her leg.

I also had a headache due to being too frightened.

The corners of the queen's mouth twitched, and she felt more and more that something was a little weird in the Cining Palace today.

Seeing that the empress dowager's face was pale and her body was twitching in pain, the queen walked forward and pretended to say a few words of concern.

In fact, I almost died of laughter in my heart, and even had the urge to laugh out loud.

God knows how much trouble she suffered from this old woman when she first married the emperor.

Later, when the old woman saw that the emperor didn't like her, she stopped tormenting her.

Seeing the empress dowager so miserable, the queen felt proud and even wished that the old woman could be even more miserable.
