The Empress Dowager Zhou stayed on the bed all year round. The most important symptom was insomnia. She often couldn't sleep for days and nights. Fortunately, King Jing'an asked for good medicine this time, which allowed the Empress Dowager to have a good sleep peacefully and feel energetic. Much better.
It's just that within the royal family, only the imperial physician responsible for consultation knows what diseases the queen mother and emperor suffer from, and the disease will be kept sealed and will never be leaked.
Therefore, only a handful of people in the palace knew about Empress Dowager Zhou's insomnia.
"Well, of course I know." Shen Ning nodded calmly and looked at the flower up and down.
She suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the flower stem and pulled hard, uprooting Yu Luochun.
"Princess!" Su Jin was startled and hurriedly stopped her, but it was too late.
She was so frightened that her face was green and her lips were white, and she stared at Shen Ning with straight eyes. Now the princess was in big trouble!
"This, this, this... if the Queen Mother knew that her most beloved flower had been destroyed, it would be a serious crime of beheading!" she said tremblingly.
She couldn't help but feel sorry for Shen Ning, because she spent the whole night copying Buddhist scriptures, which made the Queen Mother feel a little compassion for her, but in the blink of an eye she had caused such a huge disaster.
"Aunt Sujin, I pulled out this flower, and I caused the trouble. It has nothing to do with you. If the Queen Mother wants to punish you, just punish me. If you want to chop off my head, it will be my Shen Ning's head."
Shen Ning acted like nothing was wrong and instead comforted Su Jin.
She looked at the Jade Lochun in her hand. The rhizome pulled out of the soil was very long, dark purple in color, and had a faint fishy smell.
No one would have thought that the flowers blooming in spring are beautiful and fragrant, but the roots buried in the soil are smelly.
Su Jin was stunned, not knowing what to do. She was not the only one present, but also several palace maids witnessed this scene.
Even if she wanted to hide it for Shen Ning, she couldn't do it.
"Princess Dingyuan, you are so brave! You destroyed the Ai family's favorite flower. Do you think it's as easy as chopping off your head?"
Empress Dowager Zhou appeared behind them with a cane and a cold voice.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, forgive me." Su Jin was startled and hurriedly bowed down.
"Sujin, get up, this matter has nothing to do with you. Princess Dingyuan, you'd better give the Ai family an explanation, otherwise, the Ai family..."
Empress Dowager Zhou didn't finish her words, but her cold tone made Sujin tremble all over.
In the deep palace, there are a hundred ways to make a person die painfully, which are far more terrifying than cutting off the head.
"Empress Dowager, I just asked Aunt Sujin that you often restless at night and suffer from body ailments, so I have found out for you the culprit that caused the Queen Mother's illness. It is this Jade Luochun plant. ”
Shen Ning calmly stepped forward and prostrated, holding Yu Luochun in her hands and raising it high.
Queen Mother Zhou and Su Jin could hardly believe their ears.
This Princess Dingyuan must be crazy!
You actually said that this flower was the culprit
"Haha, Princess Dingyuan, you are really good at making excuses. Well, since you said it was this flower that made the Ai family sick, you should explain it clearly to the Ai family!" Empress Dowager Zhou sneered with a cold look in her eyes.
Seeing that Queen Mother Zhou was trembling, Su Jin didn't know whether it was because of anger or illness, so she hurriedly moved out a chair and helped Queen Mother Zhou sit down.
Shen Ning asked: "The Queen Mother, do you feel refreshed and clear-headed every time you smell Jade Luochun?"
