Empress, she is rising step by step

She paused and then said: "Why take such an extreme approach? We are all sisters who have been together for many years, so it would be too cruel."

"Sister Zhu is absolutely right. Brother Emperor, if it weren't for Sister Zhu being here today and not caring about her own life, Qing Shu, the Empress and the child in her belly would probably have died a long time ago."

Yan Qingshu said angrily: "Brother Emperor, you must be aware that with such people around, all of you will be in danger again."

Shen Que's eyes flashed, "I think the same as Zhu Baolin. We are busy with state affairs, and sometimes I can't feel the grievances you feel.

But there is a queen in the middle palace. The queen has always been tolerant and kind to others. If you have anything you can't think of, you can laugh at the Queen and explain.

But you should never do such an extreme thing, and my harem will never tolerate such people. Li Quan. "

Li Quan responded: "My servant is here."

"Send someone to the snake market outside the palace and conduct a secret visit. This person must be caught. I want to see who did it."

Shen Que put the bracelet on his wrist and patted his knee. Suddenly, a harsh "stab" sound was heard, followed by Yu Jieyu's exclamation.

"Zhuang Cairen, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Zhu Ci looked along with everyone. Zhuang Cairen stretched out her hand to hold the edge of the table, her face was as pale as snow, and the golden silk rubies in her hair drew a cold arc in the air and slapped her cheek.

Zhuang Xiaoxiao was afraid of showing her timidity, so she just lowered her eyes and looked at the place, "I don't know what happened, but suddenly I had a severe headache, and my body felt hot and cold."

"Are you sick? Or are you frightened by what happened today? Sit down first."

Yu Jieyu helped Zhuang Xiaoxiao sit down. Seeing the cold sweat on her face, she asked with concern: "Why are you sweating so much? Weren't you fine just now?"

Zhuang Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, and Cao Wenxi looked unclear. "The imperial doctor will come later, and he will also show Zhuang Cairen a look. Don't be afraid."

Everyone just thought that Cao Wenxi was talking about Zhuang Xiaoxiao being frightened because of what happened today, and didn't think much about it.

But Zhu Ci didn't think so. She obviously meant something in her words. Did she know something? Do you dare to say this, or are you overthinking it?

Just as he was thinking about it, the two imperial doctors also arrived. Imperial Physician Feng did not leave, but stayed in the side hall to observe Wen Meiren's condition. Hearing that something happened in Yuhua Pavilion, he hurried over and happened to bump into another Imperial Physician.

Shen Que said: "Stop talking nonsense and show Xiao Hezi first.

The two imperial doctors stepped forward to take a look. Xiao Hezi's face had already turned purple, and the bite area had become extremely red and swollen. The two took turns taking a pulse.

Xu Tingyue asked nervously: "Two imperial doctors, can Xiao Hezi be saved?"

Xu was being modest. She was afraid that others would be overly concerned, so she added: "As long as there is a glimmer of possibility, please ask the two imperial doctors to rescue Xiao Hezi. If he hadn't wanted to protect me, he wouldn't have..."

She choked and stopped, turning her head away with red eyes, unable to bear to look any further.

The expressions of Yu Jieyu and Zhuang Xiaoxiao instantly became a little subtle. Apart from Zhu Ci and others, both of them also saw it with their own eyes.

When Concubine Shu pushed Xiao Hezi out, she did not hesitate and saw that she was reluctant to part with him. Now the cat is crying and the mouse is pretending to be compassionate. If Xiao Hezi really comes back to life, she may be the one who is most worried.

Bai Xinrui sneered unceremoniously, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet and silent atmosphere. Xu Tingyue gritted her teeth secretly. Shen Que raised his eyelids and glanced at Bai Xinrui. On his way here, he had already learned about it from Concubine Li Quande and Cao Baolin.

Concubine Shu pushed Xiao Hezi out in order to protect herself, and now she was pretending to be here again, saying that Xiao Hezi was a loyal protector in order to gain a good reputation.

With the imperial concubine's jealous temper, and her previous quarrel with Concubine Shu, she would definitely not show mercy to her when she said this.

He doesn't really care, he's just a minion. It was his honor to die for his master.

On the contrary, he would not be able to explain to Master Xu if he hurt Concubine Shu.

The imperial concubine is good at everything, but she is too willful and lets her own way, which sometimes makes people hate her.

Bai Xinrui curled her lips, lowered her head and played with the tassels on her handkerchief in boredom.

Two imperial doctors, you look at me and I look at you. Imperial Physician Feng put the pulse diagnosis into the medicine box, "Go back to Concubine Shu, return to the Emperor. The poison has invaded Xiao Hezi's internal organs. Wei Chen and Imperial Physician Xu are incompetent and are really helpless."

Although he and Dr. Xu had been doctors in the palace for many years, they only treated the empresses, the queen mother and the emperor. Although he desperately didn't want to admit it, his medical skills were really limited.

Especially snake venom like this, Chang'an is located in the Central Plains, venomous snakes are rare, let alone in the palace. He has only seen Xiao Hezi a few times in all his years as an imperial doctor. Not to mention that Xiao Hezi is hopeless, even if he can be saved, he has no medicine.

Fortunately, it was only a slave who was bitten, not the master.

"Is there really no hope at all?" Xu Tingyue swayed and took a step back. She bit the veil and shed two lines of tears.

"I can't help Xiaohezi. Xiaohezi is so loyal to me that he even risked his own life for me. He is so stupid. He would rather risk his life if he does anything. It’s you who gets bitten.”

Yu Jieyu blinked, why didn't she realize that Concubine Shu was so good at acting before? She cried whenever she wanted. If she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes just now, she would have thought that Concubine Shu was feeling sad and guilty for Xiao Hezi.

"Concubine Shu, don't be too sad. Xiao Hezi is a loyal servant, and he is afraid that the empress will be hurt, so he doesn't care about his own safety. Hey, he is a good slave. Concubine believes that even if he has to do it all over again, Xiao Hezi will still be the same. That’s what it does.”

Xu Tingyue paused while wiping her tears. What did Yu Jieyu mean? What does it mean to start over again? Is this because she doesn't die fast enough, so let her die again? If you can't speak, just shut up that stinky mouth.

Bai Xinrui pretended to be sad and said: "It's really pitiful, Xiao Hezi is still so young... Can the two imperial doctors do anything to wake up Xiao Hezi? Concubine Shu and Xiao Hezi are masters and servants, and they have a deep friendship. There must be many of them. Something to say.”

Xu Tingyue's heart tightened. Doctor Feng saw that Shen Que had no intention of objecting and said, "Okay."

As he spoke, he took out the silver needle from the medicine box and pierced Xiaowazi's arm and head.

Zhu Ci leaned over and noticed that there was a long scar on Xiaohezi's arm, which seemed to be short-lived. She thought of that rainy night, where she stabbed the ghost with the hairpin on her arm.

Could it be that the ghost is Xiaowazi pretending to be? Then Concubine Shu pushed Xiao Hezi out not just because of fear, but maybe because she was worried that Xiao Hezi would be revealed, just in case she decided to silence her?

Anyway, no matter who happened to the scene like today, she was afraid of losing her mind, and it was understandable that she pushed Xiaowazi out.
