"Ahhhhhhhh..." With a terrified wail from Xiao Huaice, he swung the snake directly onto Xiao Huailuo.
Before Xiao Huailuo could figure out what it was, he saw the thing tied itself into a knot in front of him, opened its mouth and bit directly on his chest.
Xiao Huailuo screamed with terror as if he had seen a ghost. After pulling the snake away quickly, he struggled to climb onto the shore.
At this time, Xiao Huaice was still in shock and was still stumbling and shouting: "Snake,...snake..."
Xiao Huailuo roared angrily: "You bastard, you knew it was a snake and you threw it at me, I want to break up with you!!!"
Xiao Huaice said: "I was so scared at the time that I didn't know where to throw it."
Xiao Huailuo said: "Then you can't throw it on me."
Xiao Huaice said: "I already said it, I didn't know at the time."
Xiao Huailuo said: "No matter what, we're done!!!"
Xiao Huaice suddenly felt his fingers go numb and his head feel dizzy. He said in fear, "Stop talking. Feel it. Are we poisoned?"
Xiao Huailuo sneered: "I feel..."
"Wait, why do I feel a little dizzy?"
Xiao Huaice said: "Run, go find the Queen's aunt to detoxify!!!"
Xiao Huailuo also hurriedly said: "Ahhhhh, help, help!!!"
“We are poisoned, we are poisoned!!!”
"Aunt Huang, my third brother and I have been poisoned by snakes!"
Xiao Huailuo shouted loudly, fearing that he would faint in the next moment and Lin Yue would not be able to prescribe the right medicine.
Therefore, the shrill cry suddenly pierced the darkness.
The palace maids and royal family members who were originally scattered around all came over.
Concubine Lin and Concubine Tian Zhen were also frightened and shouted, "My sons, what happened to you?"
"Oh my God, why is there a poisonous snake?"
"Who released the poisonous snake? Who wants to harm my son?"
“Wuwuwuwuwu…”
The Queen Mother rushed over upon hearing the noise and angrily shouted, "Shut up!!!"
"Send the person to Shoukang Palace first."
"Go and get the doctor."
The palace servants immediately split up and the emperor and empress also rushed over.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but ask: "Is it caused by an evil spirit?"
Xiao Huaizheng and Xiao Qingyi, who had been wandering around nearby, also arrived quickly.
Xiao Huaizheng just said, "No."
Then he glanced at Concubine Lin and Concubine Tian Zhen, his eyes full of warning.
Concubine Lin and Concubine Tian Zhen felt guilty, but they had never imagined that their son would be bitten by a poisonous snake. They were shocked and angry at the same time, and asked, "Where is Princess Ding?"
At this time, a palace servant whispered, "I saw Princess Ding go to the Eastern Palace and didn't meet the two princes."
Xiao Qingyi threw a poisonous snake in front of everyone with a "pa" sound.
"Don't slander my mother. I have never seen this venomous snake outside the palace. It is definitely not an ordinary venomous snake."
When the queen took a look, she found that the scales looked familiar.
Zhou Dahai quickly said, "A palace maid was bitten before, and she thought it was not poisonous, so she didn't take it seriously."
"Who knew that he would be dead a little while later? The palace was in a panic, so I sent people to search for him."
"We've already caught a few, but I didn't expect there's another one here... It looks like it's just grown, so the poison shouldn't be too deep. We need to find a doctor quickly."
When the Emperor heard that another palace maid had died, he quickly said, "Why are you still looking for the imperial physician at this time? Go and get Princess Ding."
"Go!"
When the palace maids heard this, they immediately ran away in different directions.
When they heard that someone was going to die, Concubine Lin and Concubine Tian Zhen's legs went weak, and they had to be supported by palace servants to reach Shoukang Palace.
Xiao Huaice and Xiao Huailuo have fallen into a coma.
Everyone was nervous and worried, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Only the Emperor paced back and forth, anxiously asking, "Didn't someone suddenly yell 'ghost' and everyone ran away?"
"Who was calling the ghost? What did you see?"
"You all ran around aimlessly, making it impossible for me to find even a single person."
"Now we don't even know how the second and third brothers fell into the water?"
"And they were bitten by a snake. How could they be so unlucky?"
Concubine Lin and Concubine Tian Zhen were trembling, their faces ashen. They looked at their son lying on the bed worriedly, tears streaming down their faces.
At this time, the Fifth Prince, who had seen the trouble, came out trembling and said, "I... I saw two clay figures, very rustic, with water dripping from their heads..."
"I thought it was a water ghost, so I ran away in fear."
"As I started running, I realized everyone was running. Everyone was running, so I got even more scared and ran even faster."
Everyone: “…”
The Queen Mother said, "What's the point of pursuing this now? Since a palace maid was poisoned last time, we should have asked the Imperial Hospital to develop some antidote pills."
"Isn't it a little late to worry now?"
Soon, several imperial doctors arrived.
He rushed to the bedside and took the patient's pulse.
The detoxification pills were also brought, but the faces of several people were still solemn.
Doctor Zhang from the Imperial Hospital stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and all the masters."
"The snake venom that the two princes were poisoned with was unprecedented. This is the second time we've seen this type of venomous snake. Since the maid died last time, no one was able to verify the efficacy of the medicine. Therefore, we are not sure whether this antidote is effective."
When the emperor heard this, his face turned even paler.
The Queen's expression also changed. "Is there no way at all?"
The imperial physician sighed: "It's difficult..."
The Queen Mother also asked nervously, "How long will it take for the venom of this snake to take effect?"
"The imperial physician said, 'At the fastest, it will take half an hour, and at the longest, it will take four hours.'"
Half an hour? ?
Wouldn't that be soon?
Concubine Lin's eyes went dark and she fainted.
Tian Zhenfei was also trembling, stumbling over her words: "It's me...it's all my fault..."
"Wow, wow, it's me who killed my son. It's me..."
The emperor was confused. What did this have to do with them?
Xiao Huaizheng stepped forward and said, "Father."
"It was Concubine Lin and Concubine Tian Zhen who thought my second and third brothers were too close to the Empress Dowager, which was a bit strange. They thought they were possessed by evil spirits, so they poured something on them to drive away the evil spirits."
"This scene happened to be seen by Lao Wu who was rushing in front. Lao Wu exclaimed that he saw a ghost, and everyone ran away."
"It was only after my aunt and I stayed behind that we learned the truth. However, my second and third brothers were fine at the time. They must have felt disgusted by how dirty they were, so they jumped into the lake to take a bath."
The emperor was so angry that his eyes went dark. He said angrily, "Then why do we have to go to the lake to wash? Why can't we go back to the palace to wash?"
The Queen Mother sneered, "Why else? They must be worried about exposing their mother's actions and incurring your wrath."
Concubine Tian Zhen was heartbroken. She closed her eyes and kowtowed heavily, saying, "I am willing to die now if it means I can save my son's life."
The Queen Mother didn't bother to pay attention to her and just asked, "Is Princess Ding here?"
Deng Wei said, "Master, don't worry. I've already sent someone to urge them."
Everyone's eyes turned towards the door, waiting anxiously. For the first time, they realized how long time had passed...
