Chapter 635
Empress Dowager Jiqing felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, her scalp was numb and she couldn't breathe.
Snakes! They snaked up her legs. Cold, soft, rustling, and chilling.
The "Ah" she screamed was stuck in her throat and her eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
She didn't dare to move, but her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from the leg.
She screamed and fell to the ground, feeling a sharp pain in her arm.
But the physical pain is far less torturous than the fear in the heart.
Empress Dowager Jiqing screamed loudly, and her voice broke the tranquility of Xishan.
When the guards rushed in with candles, they saw a brightly colored snake with a vicious tongue proudly coiled around the head of the Empress Dowager who was lying on the ground.
The guards stepped back in shock.
In their opinion, the brighter the color of the snake, the more poisonous it is.
What to do?
They had just received an order from the Emperor to bring the Empress Dowager back to the palace.
One of the guards, either because he was skilled and brave or because he had lost his mind, swung the knife in his hand directly at the snake.
The knife frightened the snake so much that it ran around and escaped through the open window.
But the knife bounced off the wall and then hit the unconscious Empress Dowager, frightening all the guards so much that they lost their breath.
Several people looked at each other and thought... nothing had happened just now, they just scared the snake away and saved the Queen Mother's life.
That night, the Empress Dowager returned to the palace with great fanfare.
Legend has it that Emperor Mingde felt sorry for the Empress Dowager's old age and could not bear to see her eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures in the Western Hills, so he sent people to bring her back to the palace.
The Empress Dowager's harem underwent a major reshuffle, with most of the palace maids having been transferred elsewhere.
She left behind not a single eunuch or maidservant who was very useful to her.
It is said that as soon as the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, the imperial doctors became extremely busy.
It can be seen that Emperor Mingde was filial and put the Empress Dowager's health first in everything.
As for what the imperial doctors were busy with, the news was blocked in the palace and could not be leaked out at all.
Li Changfeng and others were extremely anxious.
Shi Anrou still looked calm and relaxed, eating and drinking, but inside she was terrified and uneasy.
She could only comfort herself again and again, thinking that Shi Anxia must have sent someone to protect her in secret.
It was already the next day when Shi Anxia received the news.
She met a man at her mother's house on Fushuang Road.
When the man saw her, he knelt down and saluted her, with his head on the ground, and refused to get up.
Shi Anxia said in a gentle voice, "You are my elder, how can you be so polite? Stand up, don't embarrass me."
As she spoke, she bent down and helped the man up.
The man then stood up, raised his head, and burst into tears, "Princess Haiyan, I am so grateful for your kindness."
This person is Feng Shiyu.
She received the news to withdraw last night and almost killed the Empress Dowager in Xishan.
