The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

Because of her guilty conscience, Concubine Xian did not push Gu Jianchu away immediately. Instead, she gave her a firm hand and said, "Your Majesty, please be careful."

The snake seemed to have a target in mind. It did not attack other people indiscriminately, but instead rushed straight towards Gu Jianchu.

"My Queen, the snake is coming." Yun He noticed that something was wrong with the snake, and used his body to protect Gu Jianchu behind him, moving backwards continuously.

The two snakes stopped almost at the same time, staring in the direction of Gu Jianchu and spitting out their tongues. Just when everyone gradually relaxed their vigilance, the snakes took off into the air and pounced on Gu Jianchu.

The moment he saw the snake pouncing towards him, Yun He stood in front of Gu Jianchu with the determination to die.

At this critical moment, Gu Jianchu pushed Yunhe away with force. Before she could dodge to the side, a pair of large hands with thin calluses pulled her arms and pulled her back, while at the same time, he slapped Concubine Xian on the back.

The virtuous concubine was pushed forward without any preparation and stumbled forward, standing in front of them.

Two crazy snakes flew over and bit Concubine Xian on the cheek.

The snake seemed to be frightened and bit Concubine Xian's face tightly no matter how she struggled.

Xie Qingzhi quickly noticed the commotion here and directed the slowly arriving Imperial Guards, "Are you good-for-nothings? You took so long to show up when the Emperor was in danger, and why don't you hurry up and save Concubine Xian?"

Xie Qingzhi didn't dare to get close until the guards controlled the snake.

Seeing the virtuous concubine being knocked down by the bamboo leaf green snake, Gu Jianchu was still frightened.

She originally wanted to push Concubine Xian out and let them suffer the consequences of their own actions, but she didn't expect Xie Ci'an to act faster than her.

She was a little surprised that Xie Ci'an pushed Concubine Xian out to ward off disaster for her.

Gu Jianchu looked up and saw that the emperor had a cold and terrifying expression.

Zhu Xia squeezed through the crowd of people being pushed and shoved, tears of fear and worry still welling in the corners of her eyes. "Are you okay, Madam? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"It's okay, I'm fine." Gu Jianchu patted Zhu Xia's hand, indicating that the emperor was still beside him.

Zhu Xia then tried to sniff and hold back her worry.

"The Princess had the nerve to reprimand the Imperial Guards. If you hadn't sent someone to stop them beforehand, how could they have arrived so late? You're truly asking for trouble. You didn't even consider what would happen if the venomous snake hurt the Emperor."

I said, I stole the purse stained with realgar from Concubine Xian, and those venomous snakes still pounced on me. It turns out they had smeared the futon with snakeberry in advance, and when I prayed, I got stained with snakeberry, so those venomous snakes came at me.

[Is it really that serious to fight for a man? ]

The guards came and killed the snake with their swords. The sharp teeth hanging on Concubine Xian's face were removed by the brave eunuch. Concubine Xian fell to the ground, making her face dirty. She stroked her face that was bitten by the venomous snake with her fingers and pulled Xie Qingzhi's hand in fear, "Sister-in-law, is my face ruined?"

The snake was poisonous, and purple marks appeared on Concubine Xian's face.

Xie Qingzhi patted the back of Concubine Xian's hand in comfort, and said coldly to the eunuch beside him, "Come here, hurry up and call the imperial physician."

Hearing the princess' words, Concubine Xian's heart instantly sank. She touched her face and turned to look in Gu Jianchu's direction with resentment.

Xian Fei knelt before Xie Ci'an, grabbed the corner of his clothes and cried, "Please Your Majesty, please help me. It was the Empress who pushed me on purpose. If it wasn't for the Empress who pushed me on purpose from behind, I wouldn't have been bitten by the venomous snake."

Xie Qingzhi seized the opportunity and started to rage, "Your Majesty, how should you punish the Queen for acting like this?"

[Do you two have any shame? Have you given your skin to the dogs? You're clearly playing tricks on me by confusing right and wrong.]

[When you two mad dogs bite people, please be careful. I didn't have time to attack the person next to you.]

Although she really wanted to see the expressions of these two mad dogs when they knew the truth, now that the matter involved her, she had to explain.

The emperor will never admit that he was the one who pushed it.

"Your Majesty, I did not push Concubine Xian. When Concubine Xian fell, I was still some distance away from her. Even if I were very capable, I could not have pushed her from a distance.

Sister Xianfei, you cannot frame this crime on me for no reason."

"The Empress was the only one by my side at that time. If not the Empress, who else could it be?" Concubine Xian pulled the corner of Xie Ci'an's clothes and looked at Gu Jianchu intently.

Gu Jianchu unconsciously looked at Xie Ci'an, "Then I don't know. Maybe someone was scared at the time and accidentally pushed Sister Xianfei. Sister Xianfei doesn't have eyes on her back, so how can you prove that it was definitely me who pushed you?"

Concubine Xian was speechless for a moment when asked by Gu Jianchu. She indeed did not see it with her own eyes.

Concubine Xian turned to look at the palace maids and other concubines surrounding her, "Did you see that it was the Empress who pushed me?"

The palace maids all shook their heads.

"Don't be afraid. As long as you can tell the truth, the emperor will definitely make the decision for you." The virtuous concubine just thought that they were afraid because they were controlled by the queen.

The palace servants still lowered their heads and said, "We didn't see the Empress push the Consort."

Before Concubine Xian could continue her tantrum, Xie Ci'an suddenly spoke up, "That's enough. Since Concubine Xian can't produce any evidence, then this has nothing to do with the Queen."

The act of releasing snakes must not be tolerated. We must find a way to remind the emperor.

Gu Jianchu pondered, "It's strange. Snakes should have been hibernating at this time of year. How could they come out and hurt people for no reason? The palace servants in charge of this place should have checked in advance. Any snakes that came in would have been discovered."

Gu Jianchu felt that he had given a very clear warning.

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Concubine Xian who was kneeling on the ground, and saw that Concubine Xian had a guilty look on her face.

However, the eldest princess remained calm and was not affected by Gu Jianchu's words at all.

Xie Ci'an put one hand behind his back and said, "What the Queen said makes sense. Cheng Song should go check where this snake came from."

After receiving the order, Cheng Song immediately took people to investigate.

Xian Fei clutched her handkerchief in panic, so frightened that she couldn't even feel the pain on her face. "This place is close to the forest, so it's not surprising to have a few snakes hiding here."

"I didn't expect that Concubine Xian is so familiar with the terrain here." Gu Jianchu seized the last word and asked calmly.

Xian Fei was immediately flustered by Gu Jianchu's question, "I saw it when I came here just now."

Although there was a small incident, the prayers will continue.

Everyone followed Xie Ci'an back to the viewing platform. As for Concubine Xian, she was sent to a temporary rest tent by the palace servants and treated by the imperial physician.

After treatment by the imperial physician, Concubine Xian temporarily saved her life. As for whether the wound on her face could recover as before, it all depended on her luck.

A prayer ceremony had just ended when Cheng Song and his men hurried back.

Xie Ci'an leaned back and asked lazily, "Have you found out?"

Two young eunuchs followed Cheng Song, holding a cushion and a sachet respectively.

After the palace maid reported it, the virtuous concubine, who was originally furious about the scar on her face, came quietly over at some point.
