At the command of the Empress Dowager, the palace attendants came out. Were they still from the inner chamber? Apparently, they had been prepared and waiting inside all along.
"Qu Tan'er, do you think you still have the strength to blow the xiao?" The Empress Dowager's face shifted from anger to a ferocious sneer. The ruthlessness and venom in her eyes were no longer hidden.
Qu Tan'er was shocked!
She had just thought of standing up when she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. What was happening?
She hadn't drunk anything, had she? Her gaze swept around the room, and she finally noticed the incense burners... Normally, there would be one in a room, but today, the Empress Dowager had placed five? Was it to make the drug take effect quicker?
"Bastards!" Qu Tan'er cursed inwardly.
She never thought the Empress Dowager would stoop to using such a despicable method.
