Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 354

The emperor's shoulder was badly injured; several layers of his clothes had been torn apart. If it weren't for the thick autumn clothes he was wearing, Xue Pin would probably have bitten off a chunk of flesh.

At this moment, he was in so much pain that he was covered in cold sweat and was still in shock.

The imperial physicians arrived quickly and rushed over to treat the emperor's wounds.

The emperor gritted his teeth and ordered, "Go and see that madwoman. What's wrong with her? Could there be poison in her teeth?"

It seems that the emperor's affection for Consort Xue was just the usual affection for a beautiful woman. After being bitten, she immediately went from being a beloved concubine to that crazy woman.

Two imperial physicians cautiously approached and examined Consort Xue, their faces showing confusion.

"This...could it be that Consort Xue has encountered something unclean and is possessed?"

Even in the Southern Frontier, the Beast Blood Gu is extremely rare, and most people in the Northern Yi have never even heard of it. The imperial physicians couldn't actually diagnose what was wrong with Consort Xue.

But the emperor had to be given an explanation, so naturally, the explanation was attributed to supernatural phenomena like possession.

The emperor frowned deeply: "See if there's any way to restore her health. If not, send her to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation!"

Given Consort Xue's current crazy and bizarre appearance, which was unbearable to look at, the Emperor really didn't feel sorry for her. He himself was also seriously injured on his shoulder, and he was too busy feeling sorry for himself.

To help Consort Xue return to normal, we mainly need to know what exactly happened to her.

Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out: that Consort Xue was simply faking madness with the intention of assassinating the emperor!

The emperor's carriage was first moved to Changxin Palace, where several imperial physicians surrounded him and quickly cleaned and bandaged his wounds.

Fortunately, there was no poison involved; it was just a superficial wound, leaving a deep tooth mark.

The emperor was still in pain, his mood extremely unpleasant. He gritted his teeth and glared at Consort Xue's personal maid.

"What's wrong with your master?"

The palace maid was already terrified; she had no idea what was going on with Consort Xue!

"This servant...this servant doesn't know, Your Majesty! Consort Xue has been acting normally lately, and Your Majesty has visited her frequently these past few days. She's been perfectly fine until just now when she suddenly became like that!...Perhaps, perhaps it's as the imperial physician said, that she's possessed by an evil spirit!"

This palace maid wasn't stupid. If Consort Xue had encountered some evil spirit and become like this, such supernatural events are beyond human control. At most, she, as a servant, would be banished to a place like the Laundry Department afterward, and at least wouldn't be executed.

If Consort Xue harbored ill intentions and intended to assassinate the emperor, then she would also have no chance of survival.

The emperor ignored her, only waving his hand impatiently, and ordered his men to take Consort Xue and the palace maid away.

Then came the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground, all trembling like leaves, their faces ashen.

When the emperor was in danger, they were all terrified and failed to rush to his aid in time, which was a serious crime.

The emperor was in a terrible mood and didn't bother to say anything more. He waved his hand and said, "Take them all away and give them fifty lashes."

Fifty strokes of the cane were no light punishment, but if one could endure it, one could save their life. The palace servants dared not beg for mercy and were all dragged away.

The emperor then turned to Shen Lingjun.
