Jiang Yun ignored Physician Hu's expression and said to Qing'er, "Qing'er, go to the Empress's palace right now. Whether she knows about this or not, we can't keep it from her."
Qing'er nodded and said, "I believe the Empress was unaware of this, after all, the Empress Dowager is the Empress's own aunt."
There was one more thing Qing'er didn't say: the Empress Dowager was also the Empress's backer. The Empress was out of favor, and if it weren't for the Empress Dowager's strong support, she would have lost all her prestige long ago, and how could she have ruled the harem?
"But I don't want to leave the Empress Dowager. I want to watch you force the toxins out of her body."
Qing'er said again.
"Qing'er, I don't want anyone else to be present when I'm using my internal energy to expel the poison. Besides, the toxins I expel could potentially infect others, and I don't want you to get hurt. Furthermore, if we don't thoroughly find out who poisoned me, similar situations might happen in the future."
Jiang Yun said seriously.
"Well... alright... I'll go find the Empress first. If the Empress Dowager is alright, you must let me know immediately."
Qing'er still said with concern.
"must."
Jiang Yun nodded heavily.
Qing'er quickly walked out of the room, and Jiang Yun said to Physician Hu.
"Go find a few guards and have them stand watch outside. No matter what happens inside, they must not come in, nor let any outsiders in. If anyone tries to force their way in, kill them without mercy."
"yes."
Physician Hu, feeling a chill run down his spine, agreed.
Afterwards, Jiang Yun entered the Empress Dowager's palace.
Meanwhile, on both sides.
In a room.
A cold voice said, "Damn it, how could there be a problem? Wasn't it said that there wouldn't be any adverse reactions after taking the mind-control pill?"
Another voice replied, "There won't be any problem. Taking the mind-control pill will cause a person to lose their mind without anyone noticing."
Just like a puppet on a string, as long as the caster chants the incantation, the victim will be unconsciously controlled by the caster.
"Why did the Empress Dowager have such a strange reaction?"
"That's what the first voice asked."
"I'm not too sure about that..."
"Damn it, I've ruined Cuilian's life for nothing."
"There's no other way. If she doesn't die, and then she betrays us, wouldn't that be..."
"Of course I know!"
On the other side.
The Empress's bedroom.
"Princess Qing has arrived."
The eunuch's hoarse voice.
"Your Majesty, Princess Qing has arrived."
Rong Momo lifted the bed curtain and spoke to the Empress.
"Qing'er, what is she doing here so late?"
The Empress asked with a displeased expression. She was just trying to fall asleep and was disturbed, so she was naturally annoyed. In addition, she had never had a good relationship with Qing'er and didn't like her much.
However, Qing'er is the Empress Dowager's favorite, so it's possible that she's here to relay the Empress Dowager's orders.
The Empress dared not delay, and quickly dressed herself. With the help of Rong Momo, she adopted the air of an Empress and walked out of the inner room.
Upon entering the living room and seeing Qing'er's icy expression, the Empress's heart skipped a beat.
Thinking to himself, Qing'er is usually all smiles, why is she acting so strangely today? Could something terrible have happened?
