These two news gave Hua Diewu and Su Luoyan a direction to investigate. It seems that similar things happened in the palace.
But it wasn't as loud as outside, people disappeared without a sound, and they helped them find a name to leave the palace.
Tomorrow is the fifteenth day, which is a good time to investigate.
The two are newcomers, and the Queen Mother will definitely not take them with her when she goes to Yanjing Garden, and those who go with her are all confidantes.
It was just after noon on the fifteenth day, and the queen mother had already started to bathe and change clothes to prepare to go to Yanjing Garden.
Hua Diewu and Su Luoyan were called to fetch water, and they wanted to fill the bath, which was as big as a room, with hot water.
Because of the large number of people, it is relatively fast to do. After the two finished these tasks, they were ordered to stand guard at the door. Hua Diewu and Su Luoyan stood at the door, one on the left and one on the right. They looked at each other, and then lowered their heads.
After about half a stick of incense, Hua Diewu, who has a keen sense of smell, smelled a strong fragrance. This scent is too strong for normal people, let alone Hua Die Wu, she tried not to sneeze.
In this weird thick fragrance, Hua Die Wu also smelled a disgusting smell of blood. It wasn't fresh blood, but blood that had been mixed with an unknown drug and coagulated, showing signs of corruption.
This kind of strong fragrance may be to cover up the unpleasant smell of blood on the body, and now it is eight or nine points certain that the Queen Mother is definitely related to the matter they are investigating, and may even be one of the masterminds.
The queen mother was surrounded by a group of people. It is said that she is sixty years old, but she looks like she is only in her early thirties. Supple skin, slim figure, only the majestic temperament can tell the age.
If human beings want to maintain the same appearance for a long time, they need to pay a high price. And there is such a bloody smell, Hua Diewu's eyes are a little cold. Although she is not a human being, she can't bear the sight of others killing innocent people indiscriminately.
The queen mother stepped into the gate, at that moment Hua Diewu felt that she was going to be choked to death by the smell, but she held back forcefully.
After the Queen Mother entered, Hua Diewu subconsciously glanced at Su Luoyan, and found that the expression on Luoyan's face didn't seem to change, but if she looked carefully, she could see the hatred hidden deep in Su Luoyan's eyes.
After the queen mother entered, the maids inside closed the door, and Hua Diewu could hear the sound of rippling water inside.
It's not suitable to talk at this time, so Hua Diewu used her eyes to communicate with Su Luoyan. The tacit understanding allowed the two to understand each other's meaning, Hua Diewu took a look at Su Luoyan and knew that Hua Diewu was asking if he wanted to wait like this.
Su Luoyan nodded to Hua Diewu, and then the two of them stood for an entire hour, that is, two hours.
Hua Diewu felt that she was almost bored to the point of mold, and could not speak or move around, that is, her eyeballs could move. She cursed inwardly, thinking how could this queen mother be so good at washing? It's best to soak it to death in the pool.
"Queen? Queen? Queen! Come here!"
"What happened to the Queen Mother?!"
"Doctor Xuan!"
Suddenly there was a scream from the palace maid. The maid who had been serving the queen mother still kept a little sense and knew to call the imperial doctor.
Hua Diewu was startled, she didn't expect that something really happened to her just by making complaints in her heart.
When the people outside heard the movement, they broke into the door immediately, and the female officer had already had the Queen Mother's body salvaged and wrapped her in clothes.
In the chaos, Hua Diewu caught a quick glimpse of the empress dowager's aging face, as well as the dead air mixed with the strong fragrance and bloody smell.
Death breath is a very mysterious smell, only people who are about to die will emit this smell. It protrudes and spreads out from the body, and it cannot find the root, but it is everywhere.
The empress dowager's body is already at the end of her strength, and she won't last long.
Compared with monsters, human life is indeed too fragile. If you just want to maintain the beauty of your own skin, you don't know how much you have to pay.
Could it be that those demon pills were used for the Queen Mother? Swallowing demon pills can indeed prolong life to a certain extent, and at the same time accumulate demon poison. The quality of the demon pills that Qin Chiyan trained before was poor, the effect was not obvious, and there were more demon poisons.
Could it be that these people who kill people and practice demon pills everywhere are trying to dig out demon pills? The more I think about Hua Die Wu, the more likely it is.
Those who kill people cannot escape the fate of being killed. Those who have practiced the demon pill have half a foot into the demon path. Without the demon pill, it is tantamount to killing them, and soon their life will be exhausted and they will die.
Because the queen mother was in a coma, the whole palace was in chaos. Hua Diewu and Su Luoyan easily mingled near the Empress Dowager's bedroom. A young maid thought they were eunuchs who usually stayed here to serve, so she dragged them to decoct medicine.
After coming to the kitchen, Hua Diewu and Su Luoyan exchanged glances and began to search in the kitchen. They didn't dare to make too much movement, as if they were flipping something inadvertently.
An anxious maid came to the door, and immediately opened her mouth to ask, "How's the medicine going?"
"It's almost ready!" A little eunuch suddenly pushed Hua Die Wu away. Fortunately, Hua Die Wu's foot was stable, but she just staggered back two steps and didn't fall.
Su Luoyan's eyes were sharp for a moment, but she was quickly suppressed by her.
The little eunuch was in a hurry to serve the small casserole, Su Luoyan flicked his finger, and a mung bean hit the little eunuch's knee socket, and the little eunuch bent his legs and knelt on the ground.
The maid who came in was very impatient, she pointed at Hua Diewu's nose and said, "You, quickly bring the medicine and follow me."
"Yes." Hua Diewu nodded, then used a cloth to hold the small casserole, and poured the thick black liquid medicine into the white jade medicine cup next to it.
"Hurry up." The maid was impatient.
Hua Diewu responded, and left with the white jade medicine cup. When she got there, she turned her head to look at Su Luoyan.
Su Luoyan nodded, knowing that Hua Diewu was reassuring herself.
There is no trapped demon formation underground in the queen mother's palace, so Hua Diewu should not be in danger. While Hua Diewu was away, Su Luoyan decided to stay here to investigate, to see if there was any useful information.
====
Hua Diewu followed to the Empress Dowager's bedroom. Just now they thought they were very close to the Empress Dowager, but they didn't expect to have to walk so long.
It can be seen that the queen mother is really afraid of death and hides herself tightly.
Hua Diewu stood outside the gate, and handed the medicine cup in her hand to another eunuch who looked much older.
The old eunuch next to the middle-aged eunuch shook the whisk in his hand and said, "Go in with the miscellaneous family, be careful not to disturb the empress."
"Yes." The middle-aged eunuch nodded.
Hua Diewu even wanted to go in instead of the middle-aged eunuch, but this was a bit unrealistic. After all, she hadn't gotten to know her well here yet. How could the queen mother let someone with unknown background serve her close
After handing over the medicine cup, Hua Diewu stood at the door and acted as the door god. It is always good to stay here, maybe you will hear and see something.
Huadiewu didn't hear or see anything, but smelled it.
Not long after the medicine was delivered, a young girl hurried over with two boxes, one large and one small.
Hua Diewu smelled the bloody smell and evil spirit emanating from the two boxes. She narrowed her eyes and used her demon power to explore the scene inside the box.
Inside the larger box was a piece of bloody unformed baby, and lying in the smaller box was a demon pill, a demon pill conceived by humans, not a real monster's demon pill.
Such a small demon pill would take many lives to raise. As for the cultivated demon pill, according to Hua Diewu's guess, it is only enough for the Queen Mother to last for a few months.
Not long after the young woman entered, Hua Diewu felt that the Yaodan had disappeared, presumably swallowed by the Queen Mother.
Hua Diewu snorted in her heart, thinking that sooner or later the old hag, the queen mother, would eat the demon pill and eat herself to death.
The system that silently ate cantaloupe didn't dare to complain. In terms of age and race, Huadiewu can also be called an old witch. After all, it is five thousand years old, and it is still a monster.
Of course, the system absolutely cannot tell Huadiewu about this idea, lest it be sprayed to death by its own host.
The queen mother inside quickly recovered and ordered people to prepare a chariot, she was going to Yanjing Garden.
Even if such a thing happened, the Queen Mother still has to go to Yanjing Garden. What secrets are there in Yanjing Garden
Hua Diewu's curiosity came up, of course, she is not qualified to go with her.
After leaving the Queen Mother's bedroom, Hua Diewu immediately went to find Su Luoyan.
Su Luoyan was no longer in the kitchen, but she didn't go far, Hua Diewu quickly found Su Luoyan.
"Luoyan." Hua Diewu was afraid that someone would overhear them talking, so she pulled them into a corner and told what she had just seen outside the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Su Luoyan nodded after hearing this, and said: "Well, I see, it's about the same as what I guessed."
"What do you gain, Luoyan?"
"Tonight we must visit Yanjing Garden at night, and the emperor should appear there." Su Luoyan's eyes flashed a murderous intent when he said the word emperor.
"Emperor?" Hua Diewu's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth curled up, "That's pretty good, it's time to catch them all, and take the emperor's head."
"Well, the emperor has always been very cautious. He often stays in his bedroom and does not come out. It is only said that the queen mother will go to Yanjing Garden on the 15th of every month, but he has never said whether the emperor will go to Yanjing Garden. According to the emperor's greedy and afraid Judging by his character, if he goes to Yanjing Garden, he will definitely not let others know."
"Then Luoyan, how did you guess that the emperor would go to Yanjing Garden?" Hua Diewu was a little puzzled.
Su Luoyan explained: "Do you think that a selfish person like the emperor would spend a lot of trouble getting those demon pills for his mother? Such a 'good thing' must be enjoyed by himself. Why does the queen mother spend ten days every month?" I don’t know for the time being that I must go to Yanjing Garden on the fifth day, but I can be sure that there is a connection between taking the Yaodan and going to Yanjing Garden, so it is very likely that the emperor must also go to Yanjing Garden on the fifteenth day. "
"Yeah." Hua Diewu nodded after listening, "Then let's go to Yanjing Garden tonight."
Su Luoyan touched Hua Diewu's head, and said gently: "But this also means that Yanjing Garden is very dangerous, because there are secrets of the emperor and queen mother hidden there."
Hua Diewu reached out to grab Su Luoyan's hand, then wrapped Su Luoyan's hand in her palm, "Don't worry, Luoyan, I will protect you."
"En." Su Luoyan showed a smile.
