Concubine Li specially found a tall eunuch who could wade across the lotus pond and release the poisonous snake into the cabin.
When Yu Jinshu arrives at the cabin tomorrow, the snake will bite her.
Once Yu Jinshu dies, the emperor will be able to favor the remaining concubines.
Concubine Li was still thinking that she would have to make a few more nice clothes tomorrow so that the emperor would look at her more.
The moon was bright that night, and the eunuch sent by Concubine Li successfully completed her mission.
Two poisonous snakes were thrown in through the window by the eunuchs.
Not far from the cabin, there were two palace maids and two eunuchs guarding it. However, it was already autumn and the dew was heavy, so they were taking turns watching in the pavilion.
The palace maid on duty seemed to hear some noise, walked out of the pavilion and took a look, but saw nothing, so she went back to the pavilion.
The eunuch sent by Concubine Li did not know that there was someone in the cabin. He happened to be by the window facing the lotus pond. After putting the poisonous snake in, he carefully went into the water again.
Yu Jinshu was fast asleep, completely naked, when she felt something cold crawling on her legs. Her first thought was Chu Zan. Perhaps he was being naughty again and wanted to do it again. But this was not right! Chu Zan's body was warm, how could it be so cold?
Yu Jinshu suddenly opened her eyes and sat up with a scream. The candle in the room had already burned out. She couldn't see anything in the darkness, but she could feel a snake with her hand.
"There's a snake."
Chu Zan had been awakened, and there was a snake wrapped around his leg, but he didn't care about himself. He just reached out to Yu Jinshu, touched the snake's head, grabbed it and threw it to the side, then went to grab the snake on his leg.
At the same time, he took a cold breath. He was bitten by a snake. The back of his hand and leg were bitten by the snake.
At this time, the palace maid eunuch in the pavilion heard the noise and ran over.
The eunuchs around the emperor were all skilled in martial arts. They thought it was an assassin and rushed over, immediately asking, "Your Majesty?"
Chu Zan cried out in pain: "There's a snake."
Yu Jinshu was annoyed that she wanted to put on her pajamas before going to bed, but Chu Zan refused to let her, and the room was so dark that she couldn't see her hand in front of her.
The eunuchs couldn't come in at this moment, so she quickly wrapped herself in a mattress in the dark and said to the eunuch outside, "Come in and catch the snake."
The eunuch came in with a lantern and saw two very poisonous coral snakes.
Yu Jinshu then bought an antidote pill from the system and fed it into Chu Zan's mouth, and then bought a bottle of antidote for snake venom from the system.
The two poisonous snakes have been caught and killed by the eunuchs.
The two palace maids also entered the room and saw Concubine An wrapped in a mattress, applying medicine powder to the wounds on the back of the emperor's hands and legs.
"Madam An, I will go and call the imperial physician."
After Chu Zan took the detoxification pill, he could clearly feel that the snake venom in his body had been eliminated.
He said, "There's no need to call the imperial physician. Concubine An has already cured me of the poison. Please light the candles in the room, then go out and ask the guards to come and see if there are any more snakes."
When they heard the snake, the two palace maids were very scared. One of them lit a lantern and the other ran out to call the guards.
The palace maid who went to call the guards kept her eyes on the ground all the way, fearing that a snake would jump out and bite her.
The two eunuchs were already checking outside the house and they had already discovered something.
After the palace maid left the room, she closed the door to make it easier for Yu Jinshu to get dressed.
Outside, the eunuch Gu Lai stood at the door and said, "Your Majesty, there are water stains on the windows. I suspect someone may have crawled in from the lotus pond and released a poisonous snake. Li Mu is already following the lotus pond to investigate."
Chu Zan was inside checking if Yu Jinshu had been bitten by a snake. Hearing Gu Lai's words from outside, he angrily shouted, "Make sure to check thoroughly."
Gu Lai: "As you wish."
Yu Jinshu was not bitten by the snake, and Chu Zan breathed a sigh of relief.
But there was one thing Chu Zan was very confused about, "Jinshu, where did you get the antidote for snake venom?"
Yu Jinshu was stunned, her mind racing: "I always carry it with me."
Chu Zan: "But I don't feel that you have the antidote?
Yu Jinshu pointed to a needlework basket placed in the corner and said, "I put it there."
Chu Zan always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't want to make a fuss about it. After she put on her dress, he took her hand and walked outside.
There have been snakes here. I can’t say whether it’s safe or not, but at least it’s not clean.
At this time, the guards also arrived and began to search Qingzhu Courtyard carefully to prevent any assassins from hiding.
Chu Zan took Yu Jinshu into the wing room of Qingzhuyuan.
The room was searched inside and out, and nothing unusual was found.
Not long after, the eunuch Li Mu captured a man and sent him to the Qingzhuyuan Hall along with Gu Lai and several guards.
Inside the hall, Chu Zan looked at the dripping eunuch. He didn't recognize him, so he asked, "Which palace are you from?"
The eunuch didn't know whether he was frightened or cold, his whole body was trembling, and his teeth were chattering: "Slave, this servant is, is..."
Gu Lai kicked him and said, "Speak properly. Which palace are you from?"
"Slave, slave, I am from Chunfu Palace."
Chu Zan asked again, "Which master lives in Chunfu Palace?"
"Yes, it's Concubine Li."
Chu Zan frowned slightly, he didn't recognize Concubine Li.
Gu Lai and several guards interrogated the eunuch, who dared not deny the truth.
"It was Concubine Li who asked me to wade across the lotus pond and release a poisonous snake into the cabin, hoping that Concubine An would be bitten by the snake while playing in the cabin tomorrow. I didn't know that the Emperor and Concubine An would be staying in the cabin tonight."
The eunuch kowtowed desperately, "Your Majesty, please spare my life, please spare my life!"
Chu Zan was most annoyed by the constant fighting among the women in the harem. There were always women in the harem who died inexplicably. These women were all from noble families, born into official families. How could they die so delicately? It was all just jealousy and frame-ups.
Gu Lai whipped the eunuch and said, "If Concubine An had not been a miracle doctor and given the emperor the antidote tonight, his life would have been in danger. Even three thousand cuts of lingchi would not have been enough to atone for your sin."
Chu Zan ordered: "Go and bring Concubine Li here."
Concubine Li framed Concubine An, causing the emperor to be bitten by a poisonous snake. This is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family.
Concubine Li had been paying attention to the situation here. When she learned that the eunuch who released the poisonous snake was caught, she ran to the Imperial Concubine's palace as soon as possible.
The eunuchs would definitely give her away, but this was ordered by the Imperial Noble Consort. If her clansmen could not protect her, the Imperial Noble Consort would not have to live either.
When Xu Xueluo saw Concubine Li coming in in a panic, she knew that the matter was exposed, and scolded Concubine Li, "Why are you running here at this time?"
Concubine Li's eyes were bloodshot as she pointed at Xu Xueluo coldly, "Royal Noble Concubine, it was you who told us to find a way to kill Concubine An. I'm definitely not going to survive, but you must protect my people. If you can't, I will betray you to the Emperor."
Xu Xueluo was terrified when she heard this. She quickly walked up to Concubine Li and comforted her kindly, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect your people. I definitely will."
Concubine Li said coldly, "You must keep your word. The palace is not full of your people. If you don't protect my people, my people will report you to the emperor."
She was worried that Xu Xueluo would not keep his promise after her death.
