Chapter 509 Something Happened
"Yes, it has been five or six years." Chi Su looked outside anxiously: "In this weather, the food can't be brought for a while, I will go and check."
"Don't worry, they have no other choice. How dare they delay me?" Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
"But in this weather, Yan'er should know not to come back, right?"
"Of course he knows, didn't Yinhu also say it?" Chi Su said.
Shen Chuliu nodded. Sure enough, the time was almost up, but the Sixth Prince had not arrived.
Yuanxiao and a few young eunuchs braved the rain to carry the food boxes back. The weather was bad today, so there was a huge food box with a small one inside, which they put together to prevent it from getting wet or cold.
Shen Chuliu was able to eat on time, and Yao Meiren who followed her naturally ate on time as well. But there were always some people who couldn't.
For example, Yongning Palace.
Concubine Xue, who had just given birth to a child, had her meals delivered on time, but Concubine Qian, who lived in the palace, had not yet had her meals delivered.
Concubine Qian was very angry: "She is just a beauty! She has a princess, and I have a prince! How dare she treat me so badly?"
The palace maids tried to persuade her for a long time, but fortunately Concubine Qian did not dare to make a fuss and managed to suppress her anger.
Concubine Qian was half an hour late, but at least everything was there.
In Changqiu Pavilion, Wen Chongrong looked at the meal and frowned.
This is too bad. It’s because of today’s weather that many things are not prepared, but this is a bit perfunctory.
But Wen Chongrong didn't dare to make a scene like Shen Chuliu, so she could only endure it.
The worst is Qingzhi Pavilion.
Chen Xiaoyi looked at the food on the table and really wanted to smash it all.
What is this, cabbage soup? But she didn't dare to make a fuss.
Next door, Shen Gengyi and Bai Guo were relatively calm: "I think the soup is okay, but it's a little cold. Didn't you light a fire early in the morning? Heat it up and let's eat it with rice."
Bai Guo sighed, "This soup is OK, and the bones are very fresh. It just so happens that you like to eat radishes. I'll heat up these two dishes, too."
She was a maid who changed clothes and her food was not much better than that of the palace maids, but because of Shen Chuliu, she could still have two dishes and a soup.
There's nothing we can do about the late delivery, but the food is still good after all.
A heavy rain can make it more obvious where the treatment is bad.
But this was just a small matter after all. What was more serious was that at night, something happened to the Ninth Prince in Ruiqing Palace again.
This time it was not a nightmare, but he fell and broke his arm.
Empress Dowager Li was shocked when she heard this and hurried to Ruiqing Palace to visit.
Zhen Xiaoyi also hurried over.
Li Qiushui helped the empress dowager to Ruiqing Palace, where the emperor and empress had already arrived.
The Ninth Prince was just playing around, and the people below couldn't control him, so he had to come out. The steps were all wet, and the rain hadn't stopped yet.
So he fell and broke his right hand immediately.
The person is fine, but it will take a hundred days to heal the broken bones.
Seeing the Ninth Prince crying in pain, Queen Mother Li felt distressed and furious: "Who seduced the Ninth Prince out?"
The palace maids, eunuchs and maids all knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
"Mother, please calm down. Anyone who fails to serve the prince well will be punished." Qi Yixiu said.
Empress Dowager Li's chest heaved. Looking at the situation, she thought it was the Ninth Prince's own problem. That was really infuriating.
Why are you so worried?
Zhen Xiaoyi cried softly: "Jue'er's health has not been good to begin with, and he often has nightmares. Now he has fallen down again..."
"Okay, crying is useless. What did the doctor say?" asked the Queen Mother.
The imperial physician stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's just a broken wrist. It won't be a big problem to reattach it, but you need to recuperate for at least two months. You should not move your right hand during these two months."
"What if he gets better in the future?" The Queen Mother was afraid that the child's hand would be disabled.
"Oh, don't worry, Queen Mother. There won't be any sequelae. Just make sure you take good care of yourself."
It would be hard to say if this breaks again.
The Queen Mother nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "Those who fail to serve the master well, I will beat them all."
"Take him out and beat him, don't scare the children."
Qi Yi practiced Taoism.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, he agreed and ordered people to take all of them to a place far away from the Ruiqing Palace to be beaten.
This is also unfair. The people serving the Ninth Prince are so miserable. They have been replaced several times, and now they are still being beaten.
When Empress Dowager Li went back, she did not ask the emperor to see her off. It was still Li Qiu Shui and everyone else who served her back.
Because it was dark and the ground was slippery, Empress Dowager Li drove away very slowly.
When walking out of Ruiqing Palace and passing Fuyang Palace and Lanyuexuan, one of the eunuchs suddenly slipped and lost his balance, causing the eight eunuchs who were carrying the sedan chair to stagger.
Before it could stabilize, another eunuch slipped again, and the whole sedan chair tilted.
The empress dowager screamed in fear, but fortunately the eunuchs accompanying her were quick-eyed and quick-handed, and several of them held up the empress dowager regardless of their own safety.
But others were not so lucky. As they were chased away, the eunuchs all fell on the palace road.
Li Qiu Shui's maid failed to support her, and she was also dragged down to the palace road.
Then there was a scream.
It's a mess.
When the eunuchs and palace maids from other places arrived, no one cared about Li Qiu Shui. They all helped the frightened empress dowager to get up.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother was frightened but did not fall.
Concubine Qian Shu and Fang Baolin, who lived in Lanyuexuan, were also rushed out, both of them were very frightened.
Someone has already gone to invite the Emperor and the Empress.
Since the Queen Mother fell, the other concubines dared not stay out.
At this moment, everyone saw what happened to Li Qiu Shui. She covered her face with her hands, and there was blood between her fingers, which was even dripping down.
Concubine Qian Shu choked, took a few steps forward, and saw everything clearly under the lanterns of the palace maids.
Finished.
Li Qiu Shui herself stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say or do.
The Queen Mother saw all this belatedly and frowned, "Call the imperial physician."
It’s a pity that Li Qiu Shui is bleeding so much even with her face covered like that. I’m afraid… even the imperial physician can’t save her face.
The eunuch Jingzhe shouted, "Why are there so many sharp rocks here?"
There were a few sharp stones scattered in the corner, and two of them were stained with blood.
"Rebellion! Rebellion!" When Empress Dowager Li saw the stone, she was furious: "Surround this place for me, and don't let anyone pass. Show me what's going on."
"Empress Dowager, there is oil on the ground. No wonder they can't walk steadily." Qiufen squatted down and said, "God damn it, who dares to harm the Empress Dowager?"
At this moment, Concubine Qian Shu's face turned pale. This incident happened on the palace road next to her Fuyang Palace. It was really hard to explain.
Soon, the emperor and empress arrived, and Qi Yixiu's face was darker than ever.
This is too blatant. They even dare to harm the Queen Mother. If she really falls, the Queen Mother is already old...
At this time, Li Qiu Shui fainted completely, not knowing whether it was due to excessive blood loss or the inability to withstand the blow.
The queen went forward to take a look and saw blood on the left face and forehead. The left face was fine, with just a cut, but the bone was visible on the forehead.
