Royal Beloved Black Wife

   Chapter 257 Shangguan Ruo's Choice (3)

  Chu Qianqian pricked up her ears and made a silent gesture.

  The maid covered her mouth and held her breath.

  This is an extremely desolate place, surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, but almost no one moves around except for them.

   Then that voice…

  Chu Qianqian stared and leaned towards the grass.

   Before she could understand it, she saw countless little black snakes, stumbling and crawling out of the grass!

  Chu Qianqian gasped sharply!

  The maid screamed "Ah-" and "Ah-"!

  In the season of recovery, snakes woke up from hibernation and launched a predatory attack on them.

is that so?

   But…would it be too much, too dense, and too targeted?

   In the blink of an eye, the viper was approaching.

   If he was bitten, his blood would freeze until he returned to the East Palace.

  Chu Qianqian's chest began to rise and fall violently.

   She pulled out the golden hairpin and stabbed a flying snake fiercely!

  The snake was nailed to the tree.

   Palace Maid: "Ah—"

  I don't know if it was her cry or the sacrifice of the same kind. The poisonous snakes on the ground became more and more agitated and ferocious. One by one, they straightened up and bit Chu Qianqian!

   This time, Chu Qianqian couldn't stop so many attacks no matter what.

   Just at the critical moment, a black shadow came from the sky and slashed with a sword, cutting seven or eight poisonous snakes in half.

   Immediately afterwards, he grabbed Chu Qianqian in one hand and the sword in the other, slashing one with one, two with one pair, and at the end, the whole air was filled with a disgusting fishy smell.

The    venomous snakes seemed to be frightened, and did not dare to go forward when there were more than a dozen of them left.

   He wouldn't let them go so easily, and he would chase after him with his sword raised.

  Chu Qianqian suddenly said: "A Yuan! Can you catch them alive?"

   That's right, this person is A Yuan, the first guard under Zhuge Ye.

  A Yuan responded very quickly, said "No problem", then took out a steel needle from his arms, swish, swish, and pinned the poisonous snakes to the ground!

   Then, Chu Qianqian handed A Yuan a cloth bag.

  A Yuan will choose a few big ones to put in, but the small ones are still destroyed.

   "Talent." A Yuan clasped his fists and saluted.

  Chu Qianqian raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and said with a long sigh of relief, "Thank you for being here, otherwise, the two of us would be in trouble."

   Yesterday, she was given poisonous wine, and today she encountered a poisonous snake. If someone didn't want to kill her, she would never believe it. Chu Qianqian asked again, "Why are you here?"

  A Yuan naturally knew the identity of Chu Qianqian, glanced at Chu Qianqian's human skin mask, lowered his head and said, "This subordinate is under the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to secretly protect talented people."

   is Zhuge Ye?

  A Yuan said again: "After Cairen was given poisonous wine, His Highness is not worried about Cairen's safety."

   Give poisoned wine?

  Chu Qianqian frowned thoughtfully.

   She was given poisonous wine by the emperor yesterday, and today she encountered a poisonous snake.

   Was the viper released by the emperor? The emperor wanted her life so much?

   But... Shangguan Ruo's attitude is very firm, if something happens to her, Shangguan Ruo will definitely let Concubine Shu pay for her life.

  The emperor was able to compromise yesterday, which shows that he still has a trace of fear in his heart. In this case, why did he start again after a day? He can't guess that he is the most suspicious, right?

   And with Zhuge Ye's temperament, after the incident last night, he will definitely protect her. The emperor should understand that even if he can't wait to attack, it will be difficult to succeed.

   If she were the emperor, she wouldn't be so stupid.

   Or, the person who released the poisonous snake was indeed not the emperor, but someone else?

   But is it too close and coincidental to her being given the Emperor's poisonous wine?

   Could it be that... last night... the emperor didn't really want to poison her, but wanted to... arouse Zhuge Ye's vigilance? !

  Assuming this guess is correct, then the emperor knows not only that she is in danger, but who wants her life!

   "Go away."

  In Fengxi Palace, Shangguan Ruo knocked over another medicine bowl and wanted to turn his back, but he didn't even have the strength to turn over, so he lay so weakly in the quilt.

  The maid glanced at the emperor who was standing beside the bed, and said embarrassingly, "What should I do if it goes on like this? It's been burning all night, and the mother-in-law refuses to take a single sip of the medicine. If I don't return... if I don't return..."

   If you don't retreat, your life will be gone.

  In this medically backward society, a cold can kill a person, let alone an inflamed wound?

  The emperor quietly stared at Shangguan Ruo, who was lying in the quilt like a kitten.

   "Go and cook another bowl." He instructed lightly.

   "Yes." The maid bowed and retired.

   Shangguan Ruo suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night, and by now, people are already in a fog.

   "Father...Take me back to Kashiqing, I don't want to live with him...Bastard...Marry a brothel girl to keep me alone...I'll be clean when I die."

   This is what Miss Shangguan said two hours ago. Now, she is so weak that she can't utter a word.

  The imperial doctor said that the empress had no will to survive and did not want to wake up.

  Miss Shangguan has never been a strong person. She has everything that women in the world can only dream of. She never has to do anything by herself. Her father will give her hands to her, no matter what the price is.

  After the marriage, the regent also took care of her as much as the maharaja loved her. Everything she uses, from the dresser to the small fruit and vegetable box, is all made-to-order and unique, not to mention her clothes and jewelry.

   What she eats, what she wears, and what makeup she wears will be imitated by the entire capital the next day.

   Now she is thirty-seven years old, but no one can compare her in looks and taste.

  The corners of her eyes have no fine lines at all. When she wakes up every day, she looks like a peeled egg, more beautiful than that 15- or 16-year-old girl. But today, just today, the emperor found a white hair from her temple.
