Chapter 428 Concubine De was bitten by a poisonous snake
Qingdai blessed: "Yes."
Li Cairong has been learning the rules in the palace for such a long time that she looks much more decent than when she first entered the palace. At least she doesn't have that vulgar and vulgar air anymore.
She followed Qingdai's instructions and bowed to Concubine De. She no longer called herself a "common woman" and said, "Your servant greets Her Majesty Concubine De. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health!"
Concubine De was in high spirits as she was celebrating the good news, with a gentle smile on her face: "Concubine Rou has already started, you should put on makeup for me, I will go to Zhongcui Palace later."
Today, she was going to eliminate a possible strong enemy for the Third Prince. Of course, she had to be in her best condition to appreciate her masterpiece!
Who knows, if I'm lucky, I might even be able to drag Concubine Liang into this as well!
From then on, the only high-ranking concubines in the palace were Concubine Liu and Concubine Xue.
Concubine Xue was infertile, so even if she raised the second princess, she would never have the chance to become the queen.
The same goes for Concubine Liu.
Besides her, who else is qualified to be the queen? !
Even if she only has eight or ten years left to live, she wants to be the queen who rules the country and send the third prince to the position of crown prince!
Li Cairong replied "yes" respectfully and used soft wax with her skillful hands to adjust Defei's crooked nose.
Then he mixed rouge and powder and applied the soft wax on Concubine De's face to her skin color.
By the time all the makeup was done, more than half an hour had passed...
Concubine De looked at the beauty in the bronze mirror, smiled slightly, put her hand on the back of Qingdai's hand, and stood up slowly: "Let's go and see Concubine Rou."
I guess the Zhongcui Palace is now full of poisonous snakes, and maybe Concubine Rou has unfortunately been bitten, and both mother and child are dead.
But who knows...
Before Concubine De left the bedroom, the maid guarding the door suddenly screamed: "Ah!!! Snakes!!! So many snakes are crawling in!!!"
Along with the palace servants' exclamations, dense swarms of poisonous snakes appeared from nowhere and crawled towards the inner room!
The blood color on Qingdai and others' faces faded away completely in an instant: "Snake!!!"
“There’s a snake!!!”
"Hurry up and protect the queen!!!"
"My lady, get out of here!!!"
"..."
Defei's pupils trembled violently, and her eyes were filled with astonishment!
Didn't she ask the spies in Zhongcui Palace to sprinkle the powerful snake attractant powder around Shen Zhinian? What's going on? !
Defei's mind worked very quickly and she realized in an instant that Xiao Ruanzi, that dog slave, had betrayed her!
Concubine Rou pretended not to know, and then used her own method to retaliate against the person!
The snake-attracting powder came from her, but that doesn’t mean that Concubine De, a delicate concubine, is not afraid of snakes!
She was so frightened that her legs went weak and her body trembled: "Drive these snakes away quickly!!!"
"Send someone to the Third Prince and make sure the poisonous snake doesn't bite him!"
The guards patrolling outside are not allowed to enter the concubines' residences without permission, except in special circumstances.
Upon hearing the news from the Chengqian Palace, the guards rushed in, drew the long swords at their waists and killed the poisonous snake!
None of the palace servants had ever seen such a horrific and bloody scene, let alone the dignified Concubine De.
After finally escaping from the bedroom and reaching a safe place, Concubine De still felt a bit frightened...
"Empress..." Qingdai hadn't finished her sentence when she suddenly fell down.
Looking closely, I saw two deep tooth marks on her hand!
Defei also felt dizzy and at first she thought she was frightened.
After all, although there were many poisonous snakes, everyone was protecting her when the incident happened, so she shouldn't have been hit.
But as the dizziness became more and more intense, Concubine De tightly grasped the hands of the people around her, and her words became incoherent: "Call... call... call the imperial physician..."
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes rolled back and she lost consciousness.
Seeing Concubine De's lips gradually turning purple, Li Cairong was shocked: "Mrs. Concubine De?!"
She had finally managed to get close to the master in the palace, Concubine De couldn't just die like this!
Not only Defei and Qingdai, but countless palace maids in Chengqian Palace were bitten this time.
Since the incident happened in the inner room, most of those injured were Defei's confidants.
The huge Chengqian Palace suddenly became unprecedentedly chaotic!
……
Military Aircraft Department.
Nangong Xuanyu and several generals were discussing matters here.
Li Changde suddenly strode in from outside: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
Nangong Xuanyu raised his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Yuanbao from Zhongcui Palace reports that Concubine Rou is about to give birth!"
The emperor immediately put down the memorial in his hand and strode out.
The remaining generals, who were discussing matters happily, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Li Changde bowed and said, "It's almost time for today. I'm sure all the generals must be tired. Why don't you go back and rest first?"
After all, what they reported was not an extremely urgent matter and it wouldn't take long, so he nodded.
only……
It took a long time for a concubine to give birth, and the emperor was busy with state affairs and could not stay at the door of the delivery room all the time.
His Majesty would only be present in person if the Empress gave birth to a legitimate son. Normally, His Majesty would wait until the heir was born before sending someone to report to His Majesty.
Your Majesty really cares about Concubine Rou's pregnancy...
However, since Your Majesty has few children, it is only natural that he would be worried about this child.
The generals walked out of the palace together.
Zhou Yuxi was also among them.
He glanced in the direction of Zhongcui Palace and thought to himself that when Yun'er knew the news, she would be worried about Concubine Rou, but she would definitely be very happy in her heart.
There is another person... He and Yun'er went through so much trouble to give the ancestral old mountain ginseng to Concubine Rou. How would he feel when he learned that Concubine Rou had launched the movement?
If Zhou Yuxi didn't know Gu Jinxiao well enough and knew that his friend would never have any thoughts about the imperial concubine, he would almost doubt whether his friend was planning to kill all nine clans...
……
The distance from the Grand Council to the Zhongcui Palace is farther than that from the Yangxin Palace.
Thinking of how fragile and scared Nian Nian must be in the delivery room giving birth to a child for him, Nangong Xuanyu felt his heart tighten.
He sat on the dragon chariot, and rarely lost his composure like he did now. He urged in a deep voice: "Hurry up!"
The eunuchs carrying the dragon sedan had to run very fast while ensuring that His Majesty would not be shaken. It was really difficult...
Even so, Nangong Xuanyu still urged: "Faster!"
Li Changde caught up with him, panting, holding a whisk in his hand: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou has just started giving birth. It will take a long time before she gives birth. Don't worry."
Nangong Xuanyu understood this logic, but he was still extremely anxious.
He knew that there were many people in the harem and didn't want Nian Nian to give birth to a child safely.
He had promised Nian Nian that no matter how long it took her to give birth, he would stay outside the delivery room and not give anyone a chance to take advantage!
