Queen Mother Zhou felt her right eyelid twitching when she woke up early in the morning.
When Sujin came in to help her wash and change clothes, her expression was wrong and her eyes were evasive, which made Queen Mother Zhou immediately notice something unusual.
"Sujin, has something happened? Tell Ai Jia, has something happened to the emperor?" Queen Mother Zhou's voice suddenly rose.
"No, no, it's not that something happened to the Emperor, it's..." Sujin gritted her teeth and finally told the news she just heard, "It's something that happened to the Queen."
"Queen? What happened to her?" Queen Mother Zhou's heart only fell halfway, while the other half was still hanging in her throat.
Su Jin knelt down with a plop and replied in a choked voice: "I have just received the news that the Queen was bitten by a poisonous snake in the bridal chamber last night. She is now unconscious. She may... may die. worry."
When she first heard the news, she was so shocked that her limbs were numb and she couldn't recover for a long time.
The Queen Mother Zhou didn't know that the Queen was Shen Ning, but she knew that she had been worrying about it all night, worrying that this paper could not contain the fire. When the Queen Mother Zhou found out that the Queen was Shen Ning, she was afraid that she would lose her temper. , I still don’t know how to punish myself.
Little did she know that she had been waiting all night, but before Queen Mother Zhou discovered the truth, she actually heard such heartbreaking news.
She couldn't help but secretly feel sad for Shen Ning. What a good girl, she and the emperor finally got married after going through many twists and turns, but before the wedding ceremony was even over, her life and death were uncertain. This was really hard for her to accept.
"What!" Queen Mother Zhou seemed to have been hit in the head. She was so stunned that she didn't even notice that the prayer beads she was holding fell to the ground.
"Tell me again, Queen, what's wrong with her?" She held Sujin's wrist, her voice trembling.
"The Empress was bitten by a snake. Dr. Zhang has already looked at the Empress and said that the snake's venom is very powerful. I'm afraid... I'm afraid we can't save her." After Su Jin finished speaking, she couldn't hold back any longer, tears burst into her eyes and she whispered. Sobbed.
"Can't be saved? What about the emperor? Is the emperor okay? Has he been bitten by a poisonous snake?"
"Your Majesty is fine. Only the Queen was bitten by a snake."
"oh."
Hearing this, Queen Mother Zhou slowly opened her wrist, stood up, and frowned with two faint eyebrows.
She was just shocked, but not sad. After all, she only had a good impression and appreciation for the girl her son had just married, but she didn't have a deep friendship.
"How come there are poisonous snakes in this bridal chamber? Are all the eunuchs and maids in the emperor's palace dead? Even snakes, insects, rats and ants have entered the emperor's palace? Damn it! It is the decree of the Ai family that Guanju Palace owns all All the palace members will be executed, no one will be spared!”
Empress Dowager Zhou ordered angrily.
Su Jin was startled, looked up at Queen Mother Zhou, moved her lips, but stopped talking.
"Whatever you want to say, just say it outright. Stop hesitating. There's nothing the Ai family hasn't heard of, and there's nothing you can't accept!" Empress Dowager Zhou scolded impatiently.
"Go back to the Queen Mother, that poisonous snake... didn't crawl out of Guanju Palace from outside, but... was... sent in by the eldest princess!" Su Jin looked at Queen Mother Zhou's face and whispered back.
"What! Did the eldest princess send it in?"
Queen Mother Zhou could hardly believe her ears.
