The corner of Mrs. Chu raised her lips and said, "Are you ready?"
"Madam, we're ready," the two palace maids said in unison.
"Lan'er, Qin'er, you must dare to say a word about what happened tonight. I promise that your parents and sisters will not see the sun tomorrow!" After that, Mrs. Chu took out a white jade bottle and handed it to her.
One of them, "Lan'er, feed her the medicine zither, feed her the water."
Lan'er looked pale and took the white jade bottle with a trembling trembling. She came to the bed and forced her to pry open the mouth of Princess Chu, preparing to pour the medicine down.
Seeing that the villain tried to commit a crime, Xiaoman immediately cried desperately, "Mom, wake up quickly, there are bad people who want to harm you!"
Hearing Xiaoman's crying, Lan'er's body shook, and her hand hanging in the air stopped immediately
"Damn girl, why are you rubbing? Once the medicine is over, she wakes up and we will all be done!" Mrs. Chu said, snatching the white jade bottle and pouring all the medicine into the mouth of Princess Chu.
Then, she waved her hand and signaled that Qin'er to fill the water
Looking at the Princess Chu on the bed, Lan'er asked in a trembling voice: "Madam, if we openly poison the princess to death like this, will the king kill us all?"
Mrs. Chu sneered and said, "Don't worry, this is not a poison, it is a tonic for motherwort. It is used to replenish blood. However, taking it in large quantities after childbirth will cause blood tumbling, and dying from heavy bleeding. However, the mother will die of heavy bleeding.
It's normal, no one will doubt it."
"What if, madam, I mean, what if, the king checks carefully, what should we do?"
Mrs. Chu turned around, looked at Xiaoman coldly, and said, "I'm not afraid, I've arranged a scapegoat long ago!"
Xiaoman stopped crying and stared at Mrs. Chu in a daze, saying in confusion: Is that scapegoat not me? Bad woman, how do you plan to frame me?
After the wife of Chu left, the two palace maids put down the veil and waited quietly outside for a while. Then, they exclaimed loudly: "No, something happened! No, something happened! Tell the imperial doctor!
”
After a while, Doctor Zhao had already arrived at the head of Princess Chu's bedside, he pulled the princess' hand through the curtain and took her pulse. His fingers just touched the princess' wrist, and then he fell to the ground with a pale face.
At this time, a voice said, "The king is here!"
Everyone in the house fell to the ground and said in unison: "Slave (maid) bowed to the king."
