In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Chapter 173 Massacre

"What? These things are actually coming back? Didn't the people at the Imperial Hospital say that even if my disease can't be cured, as long as I keep these precious blood alive, my life will naturally be safe?

"I also feel very well, how could it be possible that it would relapse?"

When she said these words, on the one hand, she had a little bit of distrust towards Xu Qingyin. After all, after so many months of living together day and night, she already understood.

Although Xu Qingyin would try her best to meet her many unreasonable demands, if it hurt others, she would naturally hesitate and even use some more smooth methods to get around it.

"Indeed, according to the information we received from the witch, these diseases are not ordinary illnesses. They can only be cured with the special medicines used by the witch. However, these special medicines do require injections, so I can only inconvenience your arm, Your Majesty."

Since Xu Qingyin had already explained everything in such detail, the Queen Mother had no reason to continue to doubt her.

But when I thought about how this medicine couldn't cure my illness, but only delayed it, and even made it worse, it was like trying to cover up one's mistakes and stealing the bell! I couldn't help but get angry:

"I never thought these old ministers would be so treacherous and cunning. To protect their own lives, they would say anything and even dare to deceive me."

This time, she transferred the Empress Dowager's hatred for these medicines to the people in the Imperial Hospital, but she did not feel the slightest guilt in her heart.

She knew very well what kind of people those people were in the Imperial Hospital. They were the most powerful doctors in the country, but they didn't care about the lives of the people at all.

It would be good if we could use the Queen Mother's hand to suppress them.

"Yes, Queen Mother, but don't worry, I'm here. The thing I'm using is the finest I've ever gotten from a witch. Although it may come into contact with your skin, it won't cause you any excessive pain. Perhaps even the bitter taste of the medicine won't make up for the pain."

Xu Qingyin was quite clever. The injection needle she used this time did not use a very thin and long needle, but the most advanced technology.

Just by touching the skin, the patient feels a very slight stinging pain, like a mosquito bite.

Even before people can react, these drugs have already been injected into their bodies.

There was no wound on the skin behind. After she finished doing it for the empress dowager, she felt it was miraculous.

"I didn't expect it to be painless. You're really capable. But does this medicine really work? It's truly miraculous."

Xu Qingyin smiled faintly:

"If you believe me, Your Majesty, this medicine will definitely be effective."

"Look at what you're saying. I naturally believe you. After all, I've gotten at least fifty of the most bizarre things from you, each of which I find incredible, yet I've never failed to get one.

"I used to think you were all liars, and I didn't understand your mother's mystical nature. But when I met you, I discovered you were even more mystical than your mother, and only then did I truly understand how magical this thing really is."

"Qingyin, I didn't believe you were the Imperial Master before. I always thought you were on Prince Jing's side. Ever since Prince Jing fell into a coma, you've become more obedient every day. You have such great magical powers and serve me. Although I don't know if you really have me in your heart, I really like you."

Xu Qingyin still had that gentle smile on her face, like a good lady, but she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

Of course, you have me in your heart, and that’s what I worked so hard for.

As a result, I have licked blood on the tip of a knife so many times, just to win the favor of a woman, or even to please you, my hands are already stained with blood.

She did not directly address the Queen Mother's question, but changed the subject:

"Empress Dowager, if you believe me, this kind of medicine must never be used again. While human blood can indeed alleviate many ailments, cannibalism is bound to anger the witch."

The Queen Mother didn't take this seriously. It wasn't that she didn't believe Xu Qingyin's words, but Xu Qingyin had lied to her in order to save the lives of those untouchables.

Three months ago, Xu Qingyin had just gained the Queen Mother’s trust.

The Queen Mother said that she wanted to see a real duel between poisonous insects. If it were just such a simple wish, it would be fine.

But she wanted to use the bodies of many ordinary people in Yunjin to raise the Gu worms! In this way, there would be thousands of carefully selected strong men and women to be captured, and those who were not qualified might even be eaten to death by the Gu worms on the spot.

During that time, she killed tens of thousands of people just for her own little hobbies and perverted desires.

However, Xu Qingyin flatly refused at that time, and many upright ministers in the court were beheaded for their advice. Therefore, Xu Qingyin was fighting alone in the face of the Empress Dowager's actions.

Because she knew that the Queen Mother needed her, and because of her ability to reach the ears of the emperor, the Queen Mother would never kill her.

What's more, although Xu Qingyin is just a treacherous minister in the eyes of many people, many people also know that she will do things for them.

She is also one of the few ministers who can work for them, so Xu Qingyin's prestige among the people is also very high, even the highest. For this reason alone, the Queen Mother cannot kill her.

Xu Qingyin said that this would go against the will of the witch and might even bring disaster to the entire Yunjin.

No matter how she pleaded in the heavy rain, even after she knocked her head and broke it, and knelt at the gate of the palace for three days and three nights, all the ministers who had been trampled under her feet humiliated him in front of Xu Qingyin.

But in the end, the Queen Mother still used those people to raise Gu, and even had a special place for her to raise Gu in the palace.

However, the retribution she had spoken of never came, and from that time on the Queen Mother began to harbor suspicions towards her.

It even took Xu Qingyin a whole month to slowly dispel this suspicion.

Although the Empress Dowager and Xu Qingyin both tacitly agreed not to mention this matter again, neither of them had forgotten it.

She also lied to herself only to save the lives of those untouchables.

So to be honest, she no longer believed what Xu Qingyin said about the possibility of harming the witch's mind.

After all, it was only the lives of a few hundred babies, what did it matter? In the past, she had used tens of thousands of people to raise Gu.

But before Xu Qingyin could continue to find excuses, she heard the Queen Mother smile evilly:

"But you don't have to worry. If it were just for you, I would stop using it."
