The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 278 Attracting Snakes ([-]) Seventh Watch

Although it is cold in October, the pleasant air is always much more refreshing than the greasy and sultry summer.

This day Concubine Yi finished sorting out the accounts and arranged everything properly, so she invited Rong Yue and Wan Lai to visit the Imperial Garden together.

Rong Yue has always been afraid of the cold, and when autumn came, she was lazy and unwilling to go out of the palace all day long, so she naturally declined Concubine Yi, and Wanyu was the only one who accompanied Concubine Yi to swim in the imperial garden.

At that time, the two sisters were cuddling each other, holding a hot soup lady in their hands, walking slowly on the gravel road in the imperial garden.

Rao is when all the flowers are in decline and only golden chrysanthemums stand alone, looking from a distance, it is dazzling and brilliant yellow.

Concubine Yi gently took Wanyu's hand, and sighed with a smile: "I dreamed of going back to the mansion last night, especially remembering that when we were young, you and I were in the boudoir. At that time, the courtyard of the mansion was so big in our eyes, as if walking for a day and a night. I can’t go out either. Even if I search all over to hide from the cat, I can’t find the person. Now I am swimming in this imperial garden, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, I don’t think it’s so rare.”

Wan Lai nodded and smiled, and casually grabbed a delicate autumn chrysanthemum hairpin behind Concubine Yi's ear: "The important thing is that my eldest sister is always by my side. In fact, the scenery in my eyes is different, but it depends on who I am. It’s just a reward.”

While talking, for some reason, there was a thick and light smell of blood, Wan Yu unconsciously frowned and covered her nose and said, "Where did such a pungent smell come from?"

Concubine Yi also felt that something was wrong, she pointed her nose and sniffed carefully, but after a while she fixed her eyes on the red copper decal Tang Pozi she was holding in her hand.

She sniffed it suspiciously, and sure enough a strong smell of blood emanated from it, and she immediately turned the old lady Tang away with a look of disgust on her face: "What's in it today, such a strong smell?"

Arjun leaned forward, frowned and slowly lifted the top cover of Tang Pozi, but seeing the liquid inside, everyone was terrified.

It turned out that the hot white water contained in it was obviously bright red and thick, and there was still steaming blood!

Concubine Yi exclaimed, and suddenly knocked the old lady Tang to the ground, splashing blood all over the ground, and the smell of blood was even stronger.

Concubine Yi clutched her chest in shock, she guarded her in front of her, and said harshly to Aqiong: "How could such a thing happen? Are the slaves in the palace desperate? How dare you threaten the empress like this!"

Aqiong immediately knelt down when he heard the words, and all the maidservants and eunuchs of Yikun Palace behind him knelt together: "I have always ordered the palace servants in the small kitchen to serve the mother and warm soup, and nothing can be troubled." Here comes the trouble, this"

Just as she was talking, Yun Chan, who was standing next to Wanyu, suddenly screamed in alarm, and everyone looked at her for a while, not knowing what happened, but saw Yun Chan pointing at the withered grass not far away and said in shock: "Madam, Yes, there are snakes!"

Wan Lai's gaze followed her finger, and she backed up a few steps in fright, but she still stood in front of Concubine Yi.

Most of the kneeling palace people had already stood up, and they backed away far away with exclamations.

Within the withered grass, four or five are emerald green all over, with yellow eyes climbing towards everyone rapidly.

Sanshun, the eunuch next to Concubine Yi, was the first to exclaim: "No, this is Zhuyeqing! But it's poisonous, hurry up and protect your empress!"

He is a heartfelt servant, willing to protect Concubine Yi, but his "poisonous" utterance scares everyone even more, how dare he step forward?

The Flower and Plant Department of the Forbidden City is groping carefully in the imperial garden every day. When has there ever been a poisonous snake in this palace?

Moreover, in winter, when snakes and insects are hibernating, these few suddenly sprang out, which is really embarrassing.

Several bamboo leaf greens meandered on the ground, twisting the body, spitting out a red letter like a tongue of fire from their mouths, and greedily rushed straight to Concubine Yi.

All this happened so fast, from Yun Chan calling out when he saw the poisonous snake, to the moment when his icy and cold body was pushed under everyone's feet, it took only a blink of an eye.

As the boiled blood was sprinkled on the ground and wrapped around the snake's body, the green and red shadow, like a hemp rope, suddenly opened its mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and rushed towards Concubine Yi.

People are frightened and stupid, how do they know how to hide?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wanlu suddenly raised the bottom of the flower pot and stepped on the snake seven inches away, killing the snake immediately.

But the other three immediately surrounded her, launched an offensive with lightning speed, and suddenly bit Wanyu's calf fiercely.

Wanyu felt a chill in her calf, she frowned slightly and let out a 'tsk'. Concubine Yi came back to her senses, and pulled Wanyu back to protect her, and ordered the cringing servant behind her to say: "Hurry up and get rid of these poisonous substances." Drive away, if there is something wrong with Wan'er today, you can take the whole family's life away!"

After the words fell, he didn't know when a black figure rushed out from the crowd. He held a long knife, slashed from left to right, and cut the snake into two or several sections in three or two strokes.

The moment he turned around, Wannai saw clearly that the person who came was not someone else, but Shen Ye.

Now that she didn't know how many times she was rescued by him when she was in critical condition, Wannai called Lord Shen falsely, and then she became dizzy for a while, and fell heavily into Concubine Yi's arms.

Shen Ye looked back, seeing the white-faced Wan Yuxu gasping for breath, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, did you trick that bastard?"

Concubine Yi anxiously urged Aqiong and Yunchan to say: "Just now I saw the poison bite on Wan'er's right leg, and lifted up the trousers to see if there is any rupture!"

Aqiong and Yunchan hurriedly knelt down and lifted up Wanyu's trousers, but they saw two obvious tooth marks oozing blood, and the area around the tooth marks was already black and red.

Yun Chan was so frightened that she cried, she couldn't help but mutter: "Your Majesty, what should I do, what should I do!"

In a panic, Shen Ye bent down suddenly, pulled off the cloth bag wrapped around his waist and tied it tightly five inches above Wanyu's wound, then raised his head to look at the weak Wanyu, and said in a deep voice : "Your Majesty, can you trust me?"

Wanyu nodded and said nothing, and listened to Shen Ye's order to be patient, and then raised the long knife, with the sharpest point of the knife, slashing towards the line between the two tooth marks, Wanyu suddenly screamed in pain, the wound Black and red blood stains gushed out.

Concubine Yi was startled, and asked eagerly, "What are you going to do?"

Shen Ye ignored it, but lowered her head and sucked it up towards Wan Lai's white, smooth and tender calf, and then spit out the poisonous blood on the ground.

The embarrassing people in the court lowered their eyebrows and dared not look at it. Concubine Yi was stunned and shouted loudly: "The prodigal son! What are you doing in the sunny day? Come on, give him Take this palace!"

Shen Ye held the blood stains on his lips and said respectfully to Concubine Yi: "Madam, everything I do is to save the life of Madam Wan, please bear with me!" .

After repeating this action several times, the paleness on Wanyu's face gradually faded a bit, and she was no longer as frightening as before. Only then did Concubine Yi heave a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered people to lift Wanyu into the sedan chair, and then ordered Arjun to go to the palace. The hospital invited the imperial physician to Yikun Palace.

When we were separated, I still did not forget to say: "Just pretend you didn't hear or see what happened today, if you dare to spread the word and ruin Wan'er's reputation, I will definitely not get around you!"
