Chapter 198 A Strange Accident

"What's going on?" The queen's expression froze, she looked at the pulley in surprise, the rope seemed to be stuck.

"Reporting to my lord, the rope seems to be stuck." The eunuch who was pulling the rope pulled it twice again, but the pulley did not respond at all.He was already sweating and there was nothing he could do, so he said to the queen tremblingly: "Your Majesty, it seems that the rope has slipped out of the groove."

"Hurry up and find a way to fix it!" The queen was also worried, "You can't let Miss Shangguan hang like this all the time."

"Your Majesty..." The eunuch looked at the Queen hesitantly, "If you want to put Miss Shangguan down, someone must go up and return the rope to the groove, but this kind of pulley is simply not capable of bearing the weight of two people at the same time. "

"So, there is no way to let Miss Shangguan down?" The queen looked slightly annoyed, "You guys have clearly tested it just now to make sure it's safe. How could something like this happen?"

The eunuch trembled, "The only way to report back to the empress is to rely on Miss Shangguan to find a way to return the rope."

The queen looked at Shangguan Fuxue in embarrassment, "Miss Shangguan, you heard that too. Can you try to get the rope back by yourself?"

Shangguan Fuxue glanced down, she did not feel flustered or feared.The position she is in now is only six or seven meters tall, and she is much luckier than the accident that happened when she participated in field training in her previous life.That time, she jumped from an altitude of [-] meters, and the parachute failed when it opened.When it was finally opened, the place where it fell had shifted, and it fell on a towering tree that was [-] meters away.She successfully borrowed strength and avoided the danger of being penetrated by the branch.After that, he was hung on the tree, and it took a lot of effort to climb down from the tree.Although compared to that time, the height this time is not dangerous.But if she wanted to get down, she had nothing to rely on, and it was much more difficult than that time.

Shangguan Fuxue grabbed the rope stuck around her waist and tried to climb up to the position of the pulley.

Sure enough, the rope got stuck on one side of the groove. Shangguan Fuxue held the rope at the upper end of the pulley with both hands, climbed up a little, then let go of one hand, and tried to pull out the rope stuck in the groove.Probably because the eunuch pulled the rope repeatedly just now, the rope was stuck very tightly.Shangguan Fuxue lifted the rope up, and the pulley was lifted up along with it.

Shangguan Fuxue soon discovered that doing so would not work at all.

Shangguan Fuxue's hand holding the rope already felt a bit strenuous.She had never realized that she was so heavy, and her wrists were already a little sore in just a short while.

Shangguan Fuxue pursed her lips and suppressed the panic that was gradually rising up in her heart, and unconsciously broke out in a fine sweat.She shook the rope at the pulley vigorously, hoping to improve.However, the rope was still stuck there, motionless.

After repeating it several times, she also became a little anxious.

The queen also saw that she was working hard, "Miss Shangguan, is it possible? If not, we will find another way."

Shangguan Fuxue didn't answer her, but just struggled to climb up a little bit.Looking at the pulley again, Shangguan Fuxue's brows suddenly tightened, and she shouted at the queen: "Your Majesty, there are obvious cracks in this pulley, and it won't last long. The method of returning the rope to the groove will not work. Now The only thing to do is to unbutton my waist and let me fall."

The queen was taken aback, "There are cracks on the pulley?!" She didn't have time to think whether someone had tampered with the pulley, so she hurriedly said: "Hurry up and bring blankets and spread them underneath, the more the better!"

As soon as the queen gave the order, the eunuchs and maids hurriedly brought blankets, and spread a thick layer of blankets on the open space under Shangguan Fuxue.

Shangguan Fuxue took a deep breath. The current height is as high as the previous two floors. If you fall, you will not die, but you will be injured, which is not certain.The blanket underneath, although heavily layered, looked unreliable.

Now I can only find a way to minimize the degree of injury.

According to previous life experience, when you fall, you can protect your head, legs, and chest by curling up your body.

The queen's expression did not relax at all, and she ordered the eunuch next to her: "Hurry up and invite the imperial physician to wait. If something happens to Miss Shangguan, none of you can get away with it today!" Shangguan Fuxue said: "Miss Shangguan, what happened today is a bit strange..."

Before the queen finished speaking, the rope that was tied to the beam suddenly snapped.Shangguan Fuxue focused all her attention on guarding against the cracks in the pulley, but she didn't pay attention to the rope above.Shangguan Fuxue was startled, the rope in her hand had already fallen, and her body also fell with it.

While Shangguan Fuxue's face turned pale, she also quickly thought of the method to protect herself, and curled her body together with all her strength.

The sound of the wind whizzed by, and at that moment, Shangguan Fuxue closed his eyes.

She was thinking, why did she encounter such unlucky things one after another from the moment she was reborn? !
She fell heavily on the thick blanket. Although the blanket reduced the damage to her, she still felt dull pain all over her body, and her whole body seemed to fall apart.

"Miss Shangguan?!" The queen came to look at her with a rare look of panic, "Are you injured?"

Shangguan Fuxue curled up into a ball, in extreme pain, unable to answer her at all.

She didn't answer, the queen also understood, and immediately looked at the pulley on the head with cold eyes, and was silent for a while.

The queen only said coldly: "Has the imperial doctor come yet?"

"Ma'am, Xiaoyingzi has only been gone for a while." Yingtong reminded.

The queen took a breath, leaned over and looked at the broken rope, then at the pulley, and said coldly: "Don't spread the matter today. Don't disturb the emperor and the queen mother. I want to Check it out." That crack in the pulley and this snapped rope.On the surface, the break of the rope was natural, as if someone had tampered with it.The crack in the pulley was unusual, it was clearly chiseled open by someone with a sharp tool.But when the guards tested it just now, why didn't there be any problems?
Yingtong responded and felt that the matter was unusual.She has always personally arranged all these things, and even the twelve dancers were personally selected by her.Everyone ensured their innocence before they dared to lead into Jiaofang Hall.The pulley and rope were also checked by her before.How can there be cracks?How could the rope break suddenly?Either someone wants to spoil the Empress Empress, or someone wants to kill this Miss Shangguan.

When the imperial physician arrived, Long Yan also rushed over upon hearing the news.

Everyone had placed Shangguan Fuxue on the bed, but she was still in so much pain that she couldn't speak.Long Yan looked at Shangguan Fuxue anxiously, and wanted to come up to say a few words of greeting, but was blocked by the imperial physician, "His Royal Highness, Miss Shangguan is not suitable to speak now, we should wait for Wei Chen to check before making any plans."

Long Yan withdrew to one side, and after the imperial physician examined Shangguan Fuxue, he said: "Miss Shangguan has no obvious external injuries, but when she fell from a high place, her body was inevitably shaken, causing certain internal injuries. Her life is safe, Just take a few extra days in bed to avoid further damage."

The queen felt a little relieved when she heard this, but her brows were still tightly furrowed.

The imperial physician hastily prescribed a prescription, and the queen sent someone to decoct the medicine.

After everyone was ordered to disperse, His Royal Highness Changsun's unbearable anxiety was revealed at this time: "Grandmother, what happened? Why did Miss Shangguan fall from above?"

The queen was silent for a moment, "I don't know what to do. I just know that Miss Shangguan just said that there was an obvious crack in the pulley, and she fell from it not long after." Seeing Long Yan's shocked face, she hurriedly said: " Fortunately, Ben Gong had someone spread a blanket underneath in time, so that she was not harmed more."

Long Yan still anxiously said: "The people in the imperial grandmother's palace, how could they be so careless? Didn't they see any cracks on the pulley?"

"The pulley, Yingtong checked it before. Yingtong has been with Bengong for many years, and has never disappointed Bengong. What's more, this is not the most strange thing."

Long Yan frowned unexpectedly, "Isn't it the most strange?"

The queen said in a loud voice: "The most strange thing is that Miss Shangguan fell down, not because of the crack on the pulley, but because the rope tied to the beam suddenly broke. There is no trace of cutting on it."

"So, God is helping that person who wanted to harm Miss Shangguan?" Long Yan felt that this matter was not only strange, but also ironic.Since meeting Shangguan Fuxue, he has discovered that this girl will always encounter countless dangers.It was Liang Shixun who wanted to bully her before, but later Liang Xiang asked for an explanation based on Liang Shixun's injury, and kept claiming to want her life, but now he almost lost his life in front of the majestic Queen Beichen!
It's incredible!
Ever since he met her, Long Yan felt that she was an interesting girl, and he had a vague affection for her in his heart.Therefore, every time I meet her, I always joke with her and call her "Xiao Xueer".

Long Yan lowered his eyes and glanced at Shangguan Fuxue, who was already comatose on the bed at this time, her face was pale, and the expression of anger and annoyance when she saw him was no longer on her face.For a moment, Long Yan felt empty in his heart.

"I don't think it's a coincidence." In these years, in this deep palace, she has long been used to all kinds of vicious methods.Everyone can make things seamless.Why show such an obvious tell?

Long Yan frowned, and there was some agreement in his expression.

"The hemp rope is definitely not of the quality that the manufacturing bureau can have. Although the cut looks like it is rotten, the people in my palace are not so blind that they can't even see it. What's more, this Every thing used in the palace must be inspected regularly. Let alone a rope, even a needle must not be flawed."

The queen said, smiling unpredictablely, "The more careful the plan, the more strange it will be."
