Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1142

Oh my God! Her little Jiu either doesn't cause trouble, or causes big trouble when he does!

Who in this room didn't smell something strange? But Xiaojiu had to shout it out in front of everyone.

The atmosphere in the hall froze instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the Queen Mother. Even the imperial guards who rushed in didn't know what to do for a moment, and stood at the door of the hall, unable to move forward or backward.

The Queen Mother was extremely embarrassed, with anger and embarrassment flashing across her eyes. She looked at the Ninth Prince grimly, and her voice was filled with a bit of majesty and scrutiny: "Xiaojiu, are you saying that I am old and weak and that I am emitting a foul odor?"

If looks could kill, she would cut the dead child into pieces.

But the Ninth Prince seemed not to notice the subtle change in the atmosphere. He still blinked his eyes innocently and said seriously, "My grandson is not joking. Grandmother, you really should let the imperial physician take a look. It's not good if you are terminally ill."

Concubine Lin was so panicked that she almost banged her head.

Stop it, stupid kid!

She was worried that the Ninth Prince's careless words would anger the Empress Dowager, but she also felt sorry for the child's innocence and his lack of understanding of the complexities and taboos in the palace.

Or maybe she was spoiled too much. If she is spoiled any further, she will be dead.

Concubine Lin hurriedly stepped forward, trying to smooth things over: "Please forgive me, Queen Mother. The child is young and ignorant, and his words may have offended you. Please don't be offended. Perhaps the palace has not been cleaned thoroughly enough recently, so there is something wrong..."

Before he could finish his words, an accident happened.

A white puppy came out from nowhere and bit the Queen Mother's skirt. With a crash, the skirt fell off, revealing her festering legs.

This sudden change shocked everyone present, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The Queen Mother's face was filled with extreme rage, but was soon replaced by intense pain. She instinctively covered her injured leg with her hands, her brows furrowed, and her face turned pale.

The attendants and palace maids around immediately panicked upon seeing this. Some rushed forward to support the empress dowager, fearing that she would fall; others hurriedly pulled her skirts tighter to cover her injured leg again.

The Imperial Guards stopped arresting people and started arresting dogs instead.

The leader threw the weapon in his hand at the puppy. Just as it was about to hit the puppy, a "ding" sound was heard, and Ma Chuyi's spear blocked the flying long knife.

At the same time, the Ninth Prince shouted, "Sanmao!"

The puppy was the ninth prince's pet, named Sanmao.

Sanmao seemed to realize that he had gotten into big trouble, so he tucked his tail between his legs and jumped into the arms of the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince also realized that he was in trouble, so he opened his arms, caught Sanmao in his arms, and hid behind Cen Yuan.

Here, the Queen Mother was able to hold on until now only by relying on the longevity cream. Because of her injuries, she didn't dare to tie her skirt too tightly, which led to it coming loose after being bitten by Sanmao.

At this moment, she clenched her teeth and tried her best not to groan in pain, but the fine beads of sweat on her forehead still revealed that she was in great pain.

An elderly imperial physician quickly squeezed out of the crowd. He comforted the Queen Mother while carefully checking her injuries.

"Quick! Move the empress dowager to the side hall and prepare a medicine box and clean bandages." The imperial physician directed the medical assistants around him and signaled others to remain calm and not disturb the empress dowager.

Surrounded by the crowd, the empress dowager was slowly carried to the nearest side hall.

Along the way, her eyes showed not only anger and helplessness, but also a desire for the longevity cream. But the longevity cream was a banned drug in the North Wing, so she couldn't ask for it, and even if she asked, she couldn't find it for a while.

After arriving at the side hall, the imperial physician immediately began to clean the empress dowager's wounds, disinfect them, and apply herbal medicine.

The whole process caused the Queen Mother to suffer so much pain that she almost fainted.

The imperial physician shook his head and said, "How come the Empress Dowager's leg is injured like this?" It was unbelievable. How did she endure this?

The Queen Mother held on to her last bit of clarity and called out a few times, "Secret Guard, call Secret Guard... Fu..."
