Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 782 -782: Crisis Everywhere! (Part Three)

Is the Empress trying to kill someone to silence them?

Liu Sisi’s eyes were spinning from the pain, her hand covered the un-coverable wound on her hand, she bitterly laughed in her heart, the plan to make herself a victim backfired!

Would such a deep wound leave a scar?

The three children behind her were terrified, they couldn’t hold back their tears, bursting into sobs.

“Mom! Mom, your hand, your hand…woohoo…” @@novelbin@@

Especially little Xiaoxiao, who cried the loudest, with tears and snot flowing down his face.

...

A shadow of viciousness flashed in the Empress’ eyes: “Somebody! Hurry and fetch my token and bring my personal imperial physician to examine Prefecture Princess Ruyu closely. Do not delay! Understand?”

“Yes! Empress.” The palace maid took the order and left.

It made the few concubines who were familiar with the Empress’ methods exchange glances and lower their heads without speaking. It seemed that the Empress had made up her mind to take this person’s life!

“Don’t cry! Niuniu, be good, Xiaoxiao, be good… Don’t cry! Mom isn’t in pain, really not in pain!”

Liu Sisi comforted her three children while cursing the person who secretly attacked her with a knife. Right now, she was not only in pain but also becoming more and more disoriented with each passing moment. Judging from the current situation, she probably wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.

“Come, quickly take Prefecture Princess Ruyu to the nearby Yiqing Hall to rest, and have someone hurry up to urge the imperial physician. Why is he so slow to arrive!”

Under the Empress’ order, everyone hurriedly moved Liu Sisi to the nearby Yiqing Hall.

Seeing Xiaoxiao getting farther and farther away from her, Liu Sisi suddenly remembered what Zhao Yuanlang had said: “As for Jiajun, you should pay more attention to his safety.” Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao is in danger!

Perhaps it was the drive of maternal love that allowed Liu Sisi to break free from the restrictive palace maids and eunuchs, finally pulling Xiaoxiao into her arms.

“Xiaoxiao, the imperial palace is vast, you must never get lost from Mom, do you understand?”

“Mom, it’s Xiaoxiao’s fault…”

Xiaoxiao gasped and apologized to Liu Sisi, but his hands held her clothes tightly.

Just now, was he really running around? He was clearly being dragged by someone to run further away! If he hadn’t been clever enough to grasp the small knife that injured his mother earlier, he might not even be able to see her right now! Women in the harem really are terrifying!

Seeing that they couldn’t separate the two, everyone had to take them together to the Yiqing Hall.

The Empress watched as Liu Sisi was moved away, unable to maintain the smile on her face! Almost biting her silver teeth! Liu Sisi, your damn life is really long enough, but let’s see if your luck holds!

A calculative radiance flickered in the eyes of the several Concubines, but what they were thinking was known only to them.

–

Soon, the imperial physician, who was in charge of treating the Empress, arrived!

“Prefecture Princess Ruyu, do not worry, I have always been treating the Empress. You can rest assured.”

Seeing the imperial physician roll up his sleeves, ready to start treatment, Liu Sisi’s body was soaked in cold sweat.

“Wait! Imperial Physician, you wait!”

Liu Sisi clenched her teeth and persisted: “Imperial Physician, please wait outside for a moment. Let me change out of these blood-stained clothes before you examine me.”

“Prefecture Princess, that’s not right! Even if you change your clothes, won’t they be stained with blood again if your wound isn’t treated? It’s better to let me finish the examination first, then you can change.”

The imperial physician said, trying to start the treatment.

“Imperial Physician! Actually, I’m not trying to change clothes, I just want to…(”

Liu Sisi’s face showed an awkward expression, her eyes darting left and right, avoiding looking at the imperial physician in front of her.

The imperial physician suddenly understood!

Hastily getting up and bowing, the doctor said: “Prefecture Princess, just say it if you are in a hurry. I will wait outside for you to summon me.”

As soon as the imperial physician left, Liu Sisi barely had time to relax when the palace maid next to her took out a chamber toilet and placed it directly at Liu Sisi’s feet, making a move to help her undress.

“Hold on! Hold on, I can do it myself.”

Liu Sisi felt her limits were being pushed, her face flushed with embarrassment as she hesitated.

“Is Prefecture Princess worried that it would be inconvenient for the children here? How about the slave take the young lords out?”

“No need, I can go behind the screen to take care of it.”

Liu Sisi pretended to go behind the screen, finally managing to drive the palace maids out. Without caring about the injury on her hand, she hastily unfolded the small piece of paper she had picked up, which wrapped around a tiny pill, with two twisted characters scribbled on the paper: “Antidote”!

Antidote? She was indeed poisoned when she first felt drowsy, and this pill was the antidote?

When did she get poisoned, who gave her the antidote, and how did they know she was poisoned?

Everything was becoming increasingly confusing!

Despite Liu Sisi’s reluctance, the moment to come out finally arrived.

Seeing the physician’s outstretched hand, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“His Majesty has arrived!-”

The eunuch’s cry almost made Liu Sisi cry with joy! She had never felt the eunuch’s voice as pleasant as at this moment!

“Ruyu! Ruyu, I heard you were injured. What happened? Who did this, with such audacity! Capture them and give them 20 hits with boards first!”

Following the roar, Zhao Yuanlang finally appeared!

Upon his appearance, he quickly scanned the room, only relaxing when he saw that Xiaoxiao was still quietly beside Liu Sisi.

The imperial physician didn’t even have the chance to treat Liu Sisi, as he hurriedly knelt down to greet the Emperor. Liu Sisi didn’t dare to delay either, also kneeling.

“I, the minor official, pay my respects to Your Majesty.”

“Ruyu pays her respects to His Majesty.”

“No need to kneel, no need to kneel. You are injured. Get up quickly!”

Zhao Yuanlang personally helped Liu Sisi up. Looking at the wound on the back of her hand, he couldn’t help but scold furiously.

“Imperial Physician! Where’s the Imperial Physician? Why hasn’t he come yet?”

The imperial physician beside them trembled and hastily knelt down again, “I am here.”

Before the other person could speak, Liu Sisi hurriedly said: “Your Majesty, he’s the imperial physician personally invited by the Empress to treat Ruyu’s wound.”

Zhao Yuanlang’s eyes shifted, then looked at the kneeling imperial physician on the ground: “So you are Imperial Doctor Gao who serves the Empress? Her Majesty just said she was feeling unwell in her chest. Since you are the accustomed old man that she trusts, hurry over there. Huh?”

Imperial Doctor Gao naturally didn’t dare to say more: “I, the minor official, obeys the order.”

Seeing Imperial Doctor Gao leave, Liu Sisi finally sighed in relief, as it seemed she had saved her own life!

“Don’t worry, even if the Empress is foolish, she wouldn’t dare do anything at this moment.” Zhao Yuanlang hinted blatantly.

“Ruyu understands.”

While Liu Sisi verbally agreed, she secretly grumbled in her heart!

Her sixth sense had never been wrong!

Although she didn’t know whether the Empress had instructed Imperial Doctor Gao to do anything, her uneasy feeling just now was real.
