Chapter 21 Choked



Qian Ruoyu was not only safe and sound, but also calm and composed. She picked up another pastry and took a light bite.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she spoke kindly while tasting the pastries.

"Oh, could it be that Concubine An has eaten something that is bad?"

"Is it because the queen was feeling unwell before she came, or is it because of the egg drop pastry just now..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine An took a deep breath and waved her hands quickly.

She denied it, "No, no, the cakes in the imperial kitchen are delicious. Maybe it's because I'm weak and have a stomachache. I'm sorry to make you all laugh."

How could Concubine An dare to admit that the problem was with the egg drop pastry?

To admit at this juncture that the problem lies with the egg yolk pastry would be to go against the Empress Dowager.

She is where she is today thanks to the Queen, how dare she go against her?

But Concubine An Hewan's face became paler and paler.

Queen Ning Yunwan had no choice but to wave her sleeves.

"Okay, Concubine An, go and have a rest first."

When Concubine An An Hewan heard this, she felt as if she had been granted amnesty. She nodded quickly and, not caring about her indecent behavior, hurried out of the palace.

The two palace maids following behind An Hewan were even a little behind her.

The Queen Mother muttered, "It's really useless."

Even so, Queen Ning Yunwan looked over and looked at Qian Ruoyu with a puzzled look.

Since Concubine An ate the pastries, she suffered from unbearable diarrhea.

Why is Qian Ruoyu safe and sound?

Just as Queen Ning Yunwan was puzzled, a palace maid hurried into the hall, looking panic-stricken.

"Empress, Empress!"

Seeing the anxious look of the palace maid, the Queen remained calm and spoke.

"How can you behave in such a hurry in the palace?"

The maid quickly saluted, stepped forward quickly, leaned over and spoke.

"Empress... the Sixteenth Prince... he... he choked!"

The Queen Mother heard this, not feeling any pain at all, and spoke calmly.

"He just choked. Can't you just get it out for him? Do you have to come to me for such a small matter?"

After all, the relationship between the Sixteenth Prince and the Queen was not very close, so what the Queen said was quite normal.

But the maid still looked a little panicked.

Qian Ruoyu heard this and had some impression of this sixteenth prince.

The Sixteenth Prince's mother died during childbirth, and he was raised by the Empress Dowager after birth. However, his relationship with the Empress Dowager was not a close one.

Because the Sixteenth Prince's mother died during childbirth, the Emperor felt extremely guilty towards this Sixteenth Prince and was very fond of this twelve-year-old Prince.

The palace maiden looked panicked, as if she had encountered something troubling.

Qian Ruoyu also realized that the Sixteenth Prince was probably not simply choking.

The maid explained anxiously.

"No... no, Queen."

"The Sixteenth Prince was choked by a glass bead... He kept crying and couldn't swallow it. I have already gone to ask the imperial physicians, but they have all gone to Duke Su's mansion to see the old lady."

Hearing this, the Queen frowned, a little anxious, and stood up quickly.

"Are you still busy? Come with me to take a look."

The queen was a little panicked, the situation was indeed urgent.

As the mistress of the six palaces, if something like this happened and disturbed the peace of the six palaces, she would probably lose all her dignity. How would she be able to manage the six palaces?

After Queen Ning Yunwan stood up, the other concubines also stood up.

Qian Ruoyu naturally stood up as well and followed behind Concubine Rong.

Everyone soon arrived at the residence of the Sixteenth Prince, which was in the side hall of the Luanyi Palace.

At this time, nearly a dozen eunuchs and palace maids gathered around a child, and they were all very anxious.

"The Queen has arrived——"

As soon as a palace maid finished speaking, the eunuchs and palace maids around her stepped aside.

Queen Ning Yun'an brought a group of people to the Sixteenth Prince, only to find that the Sixteenth Prince's face was already red from holding his anger.

The Sixteenth Prince's face was flushed with blue, his eyes were wide open, and his hands were unconsciously grasping his throat, as if he was having difficulty breathing.

Seeing this situation, Queen Ning Yunwan immediately felt uneasy and came to the side of the Sixteenth Prince.

"What's going on? What on earth is going on?!"

"How did you servants guard him? How could you let the Sixteenth Prince swallow the glass bead? Drag him out and behead him!"

After hearing these words, a dozen eunuchs and palace maids around him knelt down one after another.

They said tremblingly.

"Queen, spare my life!"

"Queen, please spare my life!"

But at this moment, the Sixteenth Prince could not utter a word, his eyes were wide open, and his face looked extremely helpless!

Queen Ning Yunwan noticed that his face looked increasingly strange, and hurriedly said, "This... Quick, quickly call the imperial physician..."

In an instant, Ning Yunwan suddenly remembered that all the imperial doctors had been summoned to Duke Su's Mansion.

Concubine Rong in the crowd also became anxious.

"What should I do? What should I do..."

Qian Ruoyu looked over and saw that the Sixteenth Prince's face turned red and white. It was obvious that he was in danger at the moment, so he hurriedly walked out of the crowd.

"Let me see."

Ning Yunwan took two steps forward and came behind the Queen, then he scolded her directly.

"Princess Ye, it is obvious to all that the Sixteenth Prince was choking. Why are you coming over here?"

"Could it be that you are watching carefully and letting others laugh at the affairs of the palace?"

Qian Ruoyu was speechless for a while.

She didn't know why the queen thought so, but Qian Ruoyu was eager to save people, so she opened her mouth and spoke.

"Since the Sixteenth Prince is choking, we must use the Heimlich maneuver to make him spit out the food he has choked on."

The Queen Mother asked in confusion: "What... guest?"

The other concubines were even more confused, and even Concubine Rong Yanlan quickly spoke up.

"Princess Ye, the Sixteenth Prince is the most beloved prince of the current emperor... You, you must not act recklessly, otherwise..."

Qian Ruoyu shook her head.

She knew that Concubine Rong said this because she was worried that she would be involved in this matter.

If it can't be cured, the person may lose his head.

Concubine Rong Yanlan was thinking about her.

But saving lives is the most important thing now.

Qian Ruoyu finally said, "Queen, please move aside. Since we can't wait for the imperial physician to come, why don't you let me try!"

As soon as Qian Ruoyu finished saying this, she came behind the Sixteenth Prince and hugged him directly.

"Little prince, don't worry. Just listen to me. I'll help you now... Don't worry. We'll be able to spit out the glass beads soon."

"Two fingers above the navel."

Qian Ruoyu gestured on the sixteenth prince's belly.

"The fist is upward."

"Hold your fists, back, and up!"
