"Sixteenth Princess, the Queen Mother has been awake for too long today. She finally fell asleep. She won't be able to wake up for a while. How about you come back tomorrow?"
Chen Xi stood at the screen, poked his head into the inner room, waved his hand and said, "No, I'll wait here! It's okay, you are busy with your business, don't worry about me."
She sat down on the chair in the hall with familiarity, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
Seeing the palace maid standing still, Chen Xi raised his head and looked at her strangely: "Hongxia, what's wrong?"
Hongxia's body trembled and she answered smartly: "No, it's okay! I'm here to serve the princess. If the princess needs anything, just tell me!"
"Oh! Thank you!" Chen Xi smiled softly.
He looked past Hongxia's rigid face and looked out the window.
It was past noon and the sun was high in the sky. Strong sunlight shone in from the window, making the room warm.
Chen Xi asked Hongxia about the Queen Mother's diet and mental status today, and she felt relieved when she heard that everything was normal.
Suddenly, a low cry came from the inner room, and then the nervous voice of the Empress Dowager came quickly: "Someone is coming, someone is coming!"
Chen Xi's heart trembled. Before Hongxia could react, she was blown into the inner room like a gust of wind. She saw the empress dowager pinching her neck with both hands, her eyes closed tightly, and her mouth roared hoarsely with difficulty.
Saying: "Someone, come quickly..."
"Royal Grandmother, let go quickly, let go quickly..."
Chen Xi quickly stepped forward, trying to pull away the Queen Mother's hand.
But I don’t know where the empress dowager in the nightmare got such strength. She pinched herself hard, as if her hands were controlled by the devil.
Seeing that her hands were tightening continuously, the old man's breathing became more and more rapid.
Chen Xi's eyebrows moved, and his index finger decisively hit several of the old woman's acupuncture points, then held down her philtrum, took out a small bottle from the space ring, and smoked it under the Empress Dowager's nose.
The empress dowager, who was trapped in a nightmare, absorbed the fresh air and her breathing gradually became easier.
While Chen Xi helped the Queen Mother calm down, she asked Hongxia: "Hongxia, has the Queen Mother encountered such a situation in her dreams before?"
Hongxia seemed to be frightened by the scene in front of her. Her face was pale, and her panicked eyes fell on the wrinkled old face of the Empress Dowager. She shook her head, and when she accidentally met Chen Xi's sharp gaze, her heart skipped a beat.
Shaking, he nodded hurriedly.
Chen Xi frowned: "Is it there or not?"
"Hui, back to the princess. It happened once, but it was not this serious!"
Hongxia's eyes flickered, and when she saw Chen Xi looking at her thoughtfully, she hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Princess, thank you for being here today, otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do! Princess, you and the prince are both Cixi
The palace’s great benefactor!”
Chen Xi's eyes paused on Hongxia's face, and she didn't know what she was thinking of. Her eyes were a bit colder.
"Xi'er, are you here?"
The Empress Dowager's weak voice came faintly.
Chen Xi took a deep look at Hongxia, turned around, and showed a sweet smile to the Queen Mother obediently.
That smile seemed to be filled with the sunshine outside the window, making everyone feel warm.
She smiled and said: "Yes, Imperial Grandmother, Xi'er is here to see you!"
"Haha, it was you who saved the Ai family just now, right?"
