Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 117: After one wave, another wave arises

The two snakes spread out and ran toward the crowd at extremely fast speeds.

Bai Xinrui was supported by Liu Yan and walked back. She was tripped by someone in a panic.

Her bulky body leaned back uncontrollably. She screamed and tried to reach out to grab Liu Yan's outstretched hand, but it only slightly touched her fingertips.

Zhu Ci happened to walk near Bai Xinrui and saw her fall straight to the ground.

"Your Majesty." She let go of Yan Qingshu's arm and rushed over regardless of her own safety.

"Sister Zhu!" As Yan Qingshu exclaimed, Zhu Ci protected Yan Qingshu and fell heavily to the ground.

Zhu Ci was afraid that Bai Xinrui would be injured and endanger the child in her belly, so she threw herself slightly to protect Bai Xinrui's back, and both of them fell to the ground.

There were screams of exclamation, Zhu Ci fell hard to the ground and felt that his internal organs were shaking. At the same time, he felt as if his body was as heavy as a mountain.

Even though Bai Xinrui is still an adult even though she is slim, and she fell down, the weight can be imagined.

Zhu Ci clearly felt a sharp pain in her wrist, "My Lady, are you okay?"

All this happened so suddenly. Before Bai Xinrui could recover from her fright, she saw Zhu Ci protecting her tightly regardless of her own danger.

"I'm fine, how about you?"

"Concubine, I'm fine." Zhu Ci tried to stand up with support, but there was a heartbreaking pain in her wrist. She hissed and was about to fall down again, and could not support the ground with one hand.

The frightened Liu Yan helped Bai Xinrui up, and Yan Qingshu also hurriedly took Zhu Ci's arm and pulled her up from the ground, with a cry in her voice.

"I wish you were okay, sister. You really scared me to death."

"Stop crying, let's leave this place first." Bai Xinrui has seen the world after all, and calmed down quickly after being frightened.

Seeing Yan Qingshu's tears falling down, she was already frightened. Zhu Ci was obviously injured because of saving her.

"Let's go first to Yuhua Pavilion and then send someone to inform the emperor."

Zhu Ci covered her wrist, guessing that it was probably sprained and no bones were injured.

After walking only a few steps, I heard Xu Tingyue and others screaming and making a mess behind them.

Zhu Ci turned his head, and one of the snakes swam straight towards Xu Tingyue and others.

Zhuang Xiaoxiao and Yu Jieyu were so frightened that they couldn't care less about Xu Tingyue. They just wanted to save their lives and hid aside, for fear that they would be implicated.

Yang Yunxi and Cao Wenxi went somewhere, and there was no sign of them.

The snake couldn't find its prey, so it turned around and headed straight for Xu Tingyue.

Xu Tingyue was frightened and couldn't escape, so she had no choice but to grab a palace man next to her and push her forward hard.

The palace man was caught off guard and fell to the ground. When he came to his senses, he fell to the ground. The snake had already wrapped itself tightly around him, and screams were heard everywhere.

"Shu Fei, you..."

Zhu Ci took a closer look and saw that the palace man was a young eunuch who had been working with Xu Tingyue and took him with her wherever she went. He should be her confidant.

But at the critical moment, he pushed it out as soon as he said it would be pushed out.

The nearby palace people heard the commotion here and rushed over. After finally pulling the snake off the little eunuch's body, the little eunuch was already dying and his lips were black and purple. The palace people carried the little eunuch into Yuhua Pavilion temporarily, and then went to catch another snake with him. If it bites the master, they won't even want their head.

Yu Jieyu quietly glanced at the little eunuch and turned away unbearably.

"My face turned black when I saw it, I'm afraid he was poisoned. Not to mention the imperial doctor, I'm afraid even the reincarnation of the Da Luo Immortal wouldn't be able to save his life. Then again, why did two two suddenly appear on the island? Where’s the snake?”

Zhuang Xiaoxiao also felt strange, "I'm surprised too. I don't think this snake looks like the ones I usually see, but luckily it didn't hurt you, me and all the ladies. It was so thrilling, my heart was racing just now It jumped out of my throat."

"My heart is beating fast right now. How have I ever seen such a scene in all my years of living?"

Yu Jieyu covered her chest, feeling frightened when she thought of the scene just now.

"Fortunately, everything is fine. It's really a blessing among misfortunes."

Zhu Ci's wrist was already red and swollen, and even the slightest movement caused pain to the surrounding skin.

"Sister Zhu, how are you? I see your hand is seriously injured. Is it okay? It's not broken."

Yan Qingshu has been crying since Zhu Ci fell, and her eyes are swollen from crying now.

"I'm fine. It's probably just a sprain, not a broken bone, but I don't dare to move now."

Zhu Ci took the handkerchief and wiped Yan Qingshu's tears, "Stop crying, your eyes are swollen from crying. Those who don't know may think you are injured. Be careful, you may get a headache tomorrow."

Yan Qingshu curled her lips, "Although you are injured, sister, it still hurts in my heart. If possible, I would rather suffer this for my sister than to watch you hurt like this."

"As long as you have this heart. If you are hurt, I will still feel sorry for you. Be good, don't cry." Zhu Ci calmed down softly.

"I have already sent for the imperial doctor. I will give you a good look when he comes."

Bai Xinrui looked a little uncomfortable. She was still wondering whether Zhu Ci was talking to that bitch Xu Tingyue, but she ignored her own safety and saved her and the child in her belly.

If she hadn't been quick-sighted and not afraid of getting hurt, her child would have left her long ago.

Thinking of this, she tightened her hand on her abdomen.

Xu Tingyue stood by the bed and stared at the unconscious Xiao Hezi, feeling uneasy.

He has been working behind her since the first year he entered the palace. He is smart and does things properly. She has already regarded him as her confidant.

She really had no choice just now. The color of the snake looked wrong, although she didn't know who made it. But if she doesn't protect herself, she will be the one who dies!

She had no choice but to push him out. I don’t know if he blames himself. What if he blames himself and reveals the things he has done? Then isn't she finished? !

She was lost in thought when she heard the sound of footsteps beside her. She turned her head slightly and saw that it was Bai Xinrui. She turned her head again.

Bai Xinrui covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and took a look, "Tsk, tsk, how pitiful you are. Concubine Shu, you are so cruel. For your own sake, you actually pushed out your loyal servant who has served you for many years."

"Is the imperial concubine dazzled? When did the concubine push Xiao Hezi out?"

Xu Tingyue didn't care whether Bai Xinrui saw it or not. Anyway, she couldn't do anything to her if she didn't admit it. As a slave, he is lucky to be loyal to his master.

"Obviously Xiao Hezi was loyal to protect the concubine. Then he rushed forward without hesitation. The concubine was also very sad. Why is the imperial concubine making sarcastic remarks here?"
