So now in Queen Mother Zhou's heart, Gu Qingze's status is high and unbreakable. She can love Wujiwu even for Gu Qingze's disciples.
But when she heard that Gu Qingze's disciple turned out to be Shen Ning, whom she disliked the most, and that Gu Qingze treated her because of her, she felt mixed feelings in her heart.
Su Jin saw that Queen Mother Zhou was in a daze and did not speak, so she waved her hand and sent the palace people away.
She was also worried that if Empress Dowager Zhou continued to ask questions, she would find out about Princess Zhaorong's public embarrassment, which might arouse her mood and be detrimental to her health.
As if receiving an amnesty, the palace people retreated quietly one by one.
After a while, Queen Mother Zhou sighed and said, "That's all. It's her good fortune that she was spotted by the ancient miracle doctor and accepted as his apprentice."
Su Jin could tell that although Queen Mother Zhou still didn't have a good impression of Shen Ning, her tone had softened, and she felt a little relieved.
Empress Dowager Zhou thought for a moment and then asked: "You said that girl named Shen wrote a prescription for Zhaorong. What happened? What kind of disease did Zhaorong have, and he actually needed a prescription from girl Shen? Is it because the girl from the hospital is too sick? Isn’t it too good to cure her disease?”
When Su Jin heard this, she couldn't help but secretly complain, thinking that she was really afraid of what would happen. She tried every means to hide the matter of Queen Mother Zhou, but she didn't expect that she accidentally let it slip.
She hesitated and said: "Princess, she doesn't have any serious illness, it's just a minor problem. The prescription prescribed by the Queen is also very simple. The ancient doctor said that as long as you take the medicine according to the prescription, you will be cured soon. "
Empress Dowager Zhou saw that she looked wrong, and became more suspicious in her heart. She shouted: "Sujin, you are hesitating to hide something. What else have you not told the Ai family? Tell me, tell me!"
Su Jin's heart skipped a beat, knowing that she could no longer hide it, so she had no choice but to kneel down and whisper: "I will tell you the Queen Mother as soon as I tell you, but the Queen Mother, you have to promise me first. Don't be angry no matter what. If you are angry, I will tell you." It’s your slave’s fault to break your body.”
Queen Mother Zhou was even more frightened and said in a deep voice: "What on earth is going on!"
Su Jin had no choice but to briefly tell the story about how yesterday Princess Zhaorong got a strange disease and itched all over her body, and then she hugged the old locust tree in the yard and rubbed it.
Although she had tried to simplify it as much as possible and did not describe Princess Zhaorong's actions as unbearable, but hearing it in Empress Dowager Zhou's ears was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, shocking her whole body.
"No! Impossible! This is impossible! Sujin, you are deceiving the Ai family, aren't you?"
After a while, Queen Mother Zhou came to her senses and grabbed Sujin's hand. Because of the excessive force, her nails were deeply embedded in Sujin's wrist.
Su Jin endured the pain and replied: "No matter how brave I am, I would not dare to deceive the Queen Mother. This is absolutely true. Not only the ministers in the palace, but also the serving palace people and the surrounding people." The guards all saw it too.”
Queen Mother Zhou's heart suddenly felt cramped, as if someone had slapped a whip on her face, and her whole face was in burning pain.
Although the person who made the fool of herself was Princess Zhaorong, Queen Mother Zhou felt that she had been severely slapped in the face.
The birthday party she carefully arranged for Princess Zhaorong actually turned into such a joke!
