The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

Chapter 133 Burning the Queen Mother

Although the two of them spoke in low voices, the drug had already taken effect and the empress dowager opened her deep eyes.

She habitually lifted the loose hair on her temples, but felt nothing, and her heart suddenly panicked.

She reached up to her head with both hands, only to find it was completely bald, with not a single strand of silver hair left.

"Ah!" she cried out, but no one else heard her.

The Queen Mother sensed something was wrong and shouted again, "Someone come!"

But there was still no sound.

When Gui Ma Ma heard some movement inside the bed, she knew that the Queen Mother had woken up, so she hurried forward.

When she opened the bed curtain, she was stunned for a moment.

Lian'er also came over and saw that the empress dowager had turned into a black cat face with a bald head. She was so scared that she ran out.

"You, who are you!" Gui Ma's voice trembled.

The Queen Mother was immediately furious, and her black cat face became even more ferocious. She cursed, "Grandma, are you confused after a long night of sleep? You don't even recognize me."

But Aunt Gui only saw her mouth moving, and couldn't hear a word she was mumbling.

Seeing that it was the Queen Mother in clothes, but seeing that face, she was at a loss and ran out as well.

When they reached the door, Gui Ma Ma asked quietly, "Lian'er, what did you see?"

"Mammy, I saw a black cat face..."

She didn't dare say anything more. Some people were busy in the yard, and if this word got out, she would be killed.

Gui Mama believed what she saw was true, "Lian'er, go find the imperial physician quickly. The Queen Mother might be ill."

"Yes!" Lian'er ran quickly to the Imperial Hospital.

Gui Ma Ma walked back and forth in the courtyard. She really couldn't understand: How could the empress dowager's face turn into a black cat's, and with blue eyes, overnight? This was too incredible.

Seeing that Gui Ma and Lian'er had both run away, the Queen Mother knew that something was wrong with her.

She came to the dressing table and saw a bald head with a cat face in the mirror, and was immediately shocked.

She shouted at the mirror: "My face? How could this happen? How could this happen!" She couldn't make a sound at all.

She knew she was mute, and she was so angry that she picked up a stool and smashed it against the bronze mirror...

…………

At the same time, there were several red slips of paper at the door of the emperor's bedroom, which read: If a black cat demon appears in the palace, the country will be ruined.

A young eunuch handed the note to Qin Wuyi.

Qin Wuyi was shocked when he saw it. Because it involved the fate of the country, he did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately presented the note to the emperor.

Emperor Xuancheng took the note, read it several times, and said angrily, "How can there be a black cat demon? Is it a human turned into a black cat, or a black cat turned into a human?

Go investigate, no matter who it is, burn them to death!"

Qin Wuyi hurriedly ordered people to investigate in various palaces.

…………

Doctor Chu came to the outside of the Cining Palace with his medicine box. Gui Ma came to his side and whispered to him, "Doctor Chu, don't be afraid when you see the Queen Mother."

Doctor Chu was completely bewildered and asked, "Why do you say that, Madam?"

"Doctor Chu, be prepared when you go in. Don't be scared."

Doctor Chu nodded and walked into the bedroom.

The moment she stepped over the threshold and looked up, the empress dowager heard footsteps outside and looked towards the door.

Doctor Chu looked right at the black cat's face: a black face, blue eyes, and a few white whiskers. He was so scared that he turned and ran away.

"I can't see this disease, I can't see it."

After he ran for a while, he happened to meet Qin Wuyi.

"Doctor Chu, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Wuyi saw that his face was pale and his hands were shaking.

Doctor Chu pointed in the direction of the Cining Palace, said nothing more, and continued running towards the Imperial Hospital.

Qin Wuyi saw that he was frightened and knew that there was a black cat demon in the empress dowager's bedroom.

"Someone, go to the Queen Mother's bedroom."

Some imperial guards followed Qin Wuyi forward and arrived at the Cining Palace in a blink of an eye.

When Gui Mama saw Qin Wuyi arrive, she was surprised and asked, "Chief Steward Qin, how come you have time to come to the Cining Palace?"

Qin Wuyi flicked his whisk and said, "I don't want to come either, but there is no other way. It is difficult to disobey the imperial order."

Nanny Gui knew that something was wrong and that Doctor Chu must have leaked the news.

She quickly stopped him: "Grand Steward, the Queen Mother is feeling unwell and cannot see guests."

Qin Wuyi felt a little dissatisfied: "Gui Ma, what do you mean?

Gui Ma Ma hurriedly apologized: "Eunuch Qin, it's all because I don't know how to speak. The Queen Mother is ill now and it's not convenient for her to see anyone."

Gui Ma was already very scared, but she never expected that someone from the emperor's side would come over.

Qin Wuyi continued to move forward, but Gui Mama stopped him and said, "You can't go in."

Qin Wuyi said coldly: "Your Highness, you are becoming more and more ignorant of the rules. We were ordered to come here to announce the imperial decree, but you are making excuses and refusing to let us see you. What's wrong with the Queen Mother?"

Qin Wuyi was furious. For so many years, no one had ever dared to treat him like this. He ordered, "Come here, arrest your nanny."

"Yes!" Then two royal guards came up and took the nanny aside.

Qin Wuyi brought two young eunuchs and broke into the bedroom.

Seeing a bald, black-faced cat-man sitting on the ground, Qin Wuyi was shocked and looked at the note in his hand. "Someone, capture the black cat demon."

The Queen Mother's eyebrows suddenly twisted together, her eyes had turned blue, her mouth had become a cat's mouth, and she had white whiskers. No matter how you looked at her, she looked like a cat demon.

She was shouting, but no one could hear what she was saying.

Two guards came up and escorted the empress dowager out.

When the palace maids and eunuchs in the Cining Palace saw this scene, they were terrified. The empress dowager had turned into a cat demon.

A palace maid said, "The Queen Mother actually has blue eyes. How terrifying!"

"Shut up and watch your head!" another maid scolded.

"..."

Qin Wuyi led his men towards the Hall of Broken Souls.

The Hall of Broken Souls is where punishments are carried out. A pile of firewood has been set up there, with a pillar behind it.

Two imperial guards tied the empress dowager directly to a pillar. The wind was freezing and the empress dowager, who was only wearing her inner clothes, was shivering with cold.

She was tied to a pillar and kept whimpering, looking so helpless.

A royal guard picked up a torch and threw it directly onto the fire, and the fire immediately started.

The Queen Mother cried silently. She knew that her time had come. After much thought, she realized that the person who could kill her could only be Xiao Qi and no one else.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the Queen Mother's body caught fire. Finally, she stopped breathing and was cremated.

When the Queen Mother was burned to death, the news reached Leng Jiuyuan's ears.

Leng Jiuyuan put down the book in his hand, thought about this matter, then curled the corners of his mouth and thought: Xiaoqi, you will not wait until the next day to take revenge, and you will still be as decisive and resolute in doing things.

"Understood, let's go down."

He winked at An Yi, who took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to the young eunuch, who clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Then walk outside.

Seeing that the matter of the black cat demon had been dealt with, Qin Wuyi reported to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has transformed into a black cat demon and has been burned at the stake."

The emperor was lost in thought, recalling everything that had happened before.

After a long pause, he instructed, "Don't publicize this matter. After all, it's a royal scandal. Just say that the Queen Mother suddenly contracted a serious illness and passed away."

"Yes, I know."

Emperor Xuancheng's face suddenly turned cold, with some anger: "She deserves it, relying on the powerful influence of her mother's family to put pressure on me.

Over the years, I have convicted and sentenced all those with military power in her mother's family. She became quieter after losing her backing, but I didn't expect her to start causing trouble again as soon as she returned to the palace."

The emperor had long known what happened in the Cining Palace, but he simply turned a blind eye. The more Xiao Qi humiliated the empress dowager, the happier he was...
