The Empress patiently smiled and asked, "Qing'er, what brings you here today?"
"Qing'er greets Her Majesty the Empress."
Qing'er gave a curtsy, then straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, is there a maid named Huazhi in your palace?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
The Empress asked in confusion.
Qing'er didn't answer, but instead glanced at the corner of her eye. The Empress understood, waved her hand, and the maids nodded and withdrew, leaving only the Empress, Qing'er, and Rong Mama in the room.
Qing'er said coldly, "Your Majesty, the matter is..."
Qing'er told the Empress about the Empress Dowager's situation in detail.
"This...this..."
The Empress was greatly astonished, her body involuntarily staggering backward before she slumped into a chair, her eyes wide with panic. "This...impossible...I had no idea...I..."
"Your Majesty the Empress."
Qing'er interrupted expressionlessly, "Now is not the time to talk about whether you know the truth or not. You need to quickly control Huazhi and find out if Huazhi has any accomplices."
"Yes, yes, how could I forget? Rong Momo, quick, have someone seize that bitch Huazhi..."
The Empress was so enraged that she uttered a curse, but at that moment, no one cared about her loss of composure.
Hua Zhi was fast asleep in her room when a group of maids and eunuchs suddenly rushed in and dragged her to the Empress's palace. Rong Momo slapped Hua Zhi to the ground.
Back to Jiang Yun's side.
Jiang Yun dismissed everyone, had Physician Hu and the guards stand watch outside, then closed the door and entered the inner chamber of the Empress Dowager's palace.
Arriving at the Empress Dowager's bedside, Jiang Yun said to the dazed Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, I'm sorry, but in order to save your life, I have no choice but to offend you."
As she spoke, Jiang Yun jumped onto the bed, then lay down on her side next to the Empress Dowager, staring intently at her.
In Jiang Yun's memory, the Empress Dowager was an old woman, but the Empress Dowager in front of Jiang Yun was a woman who looked only forty-eight or forty-nine years old, and a beautiful one at that.
Because she regularly drank pearl soup and bathed in milk, the Empress Dowager maintained her appearance well, with fair and delicate skin.
There were only one or two barely noticeable wrinkles on her face. Looking at the person she was about to favor, Jiang Yun's heart pounded wildly.
"Damn it, this is the Empress Dowager, the mother of the current emperor!"
Jiang Yun thought excitedly. Just thinking about what was about to happen between Jiang Yun and the Empress Dowager made her heart restless, like boiling water...
At this moment, the Empress Dowager's face was flushed, her breathing was rapid, her breasts were heaving violently, and her whole body was extremely hot. Jiang Yun had seen this condition before on the Fujin Nalan Zhu.
At that time, Nalan Zhu was poisoned by the "Supreme Joy Powder," while the Empress Dowager was poisoned by the "Lying Laughter Half-Step Intoxication," which was a hundred times more potent than the evil poison that Nalan Zhu had been given.
Jiang Yun couldn't help but worry. The Empress Dowager had been empty for twenty or thirty years, and with the added power of the evil medicine, would she become so unsatisfied that she would drain all her cells?
