Chapter 151 There is a snake!
This cannot be thought about, Jiang Yankun forced himself to divert his attention. Once he thought about it, his heart became bigger and greedy.
But Yue Jie'er was in a good situation, and there were many more eyes on her than before. Similarly, those who were staring at the Jiang family were eager for him to make a mistake.
He had to keep his temper, because it was not his turn to be greedy, and the wealth of the Jiang family was still behind.
The heart that was boiling like lava also regained its rationality after a moment.
Ruan took one look at him and knew what was in his mind. She took Jiang Xinyue's hand and said, "Sister Yue, mother does not ask you to be unrivaled. As long as you and your children are safe, and the emperor cares about you a little, and lets you two have no worries about food and clothing, mother will feel at ease. Remember, things will turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme. Everything that is excessive will always end in disaster."
Jiang Yankun disagreed, "Sister Yue has entered the palace, and she has to fight for it even if she doesn't fight. With the emperor's favor, she can only wait to die if she doesn't fight. Do you want Sister Yue to live or die?"
Ruan was speechless after hearing his question.
Jiang Xinyue didn't want the atmosphere to be too tense, so she comforted Ruan and said, "Mother, I know what I'm doing. You have to believe me. I will make myself and the Jiang family rich without getting hurt."
These words reassured Ruan and satisfied Jiang Yankun, and the family happily had a reunion dinner.
Zhou was seriously ill, and Jiang Xinyue knew about it, so she couldn't help but express her feelings. Besides, her sister-in-law had given birth to a child, so she had to reward her with something.
Otherwise, someone would criticize her for being disrespectful to her stepmother in the future.
Li Guipin didn't have the privilege of seeing her family this year, and could only watch Pei and the Pei family leave the palace from afar.
Last year, everyone envied Pei because she could ride a sedan chair in the palace and look down on all of them equally.
This year, everyone watched as the Jiang family was escorted out of the palace by the servants of Hexi Palace. The countless silks and jewels dazzled everyone's eyes.
Fate is sometimes so strange. This year, it was Li Guipin's turn to watch.
Xia He supported her and comforted her, "Don't be sad, Madam. After tonight, Zhenpin will not be able to be proud anymore."
Li Guipin frowned, "What did you do?"
Xia He looked around, covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered in her ear, "Madam sent a snake-raising girl into the palace. That girl will wake up hibernating snakes and insects and make them bite whoever they want."
"What did you say?"
Li Guipin was so angry that her body was shaking: "You...you are going to kill me?"
Xia He didn't understand: "My queen, killing Zhenpin is a good thing for us!"
Li Guipin closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the cruelty in her eyes made people shudder: "What about the snake-raising woman?"
Xia He replied: "Madam asked her to wait in Xihe Hall after she succeeded. Someone should be ready to take her out of the palace now."
The Song family fell, but the Song family's connections were not completely eradicated. There are always people who are unwilling to
give up and are waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback. If it were normal, it would be impossible to take someone out of the palace, but tonight it would not be difficult to take someone out of the palace.
After seeing off the Jiang family, it was getting late. Xi Que made the bed: "My queen, I see you have yawned several times. Go to bed quickly, you will be busy tomorrow!"
All kinds of sacrifices, ceremonies, and worship at the beginning of the year... can make people tired to death.
Although her queen has obtained the grace of the emperor and the queen, she does not need to participate in the heavy sacrificial ceremonies and can rest in Hexi Palace, but there are still some things that need to be paid attention to.
For example, on the first day of the new year, the concubines in the harem will pay New Year's greetings to the queen. Everyone has to go, and Jiang Xinyue does not want to be absent.
Lest she be criticized in the future.
"Hiss-hiss-"
Jiang Xinyue had just taken off her coat and seemed to hear some strange noises.
She tilted her ear and listened: "Maggio, Shuangjiang, did you hear any noise?"
Maggiore was very close to the bed. She paused and felt a chill under her feet. She almost screamed.
But she was afraid of scaring her master,
so she quickly covered her mouth and looked down. A baby-arm-sized snake with gorgeous patterns all over its body, about one meter long, slowly crawled out from under the bed and passed over Maggiore's instep. Its red vertical pupils made Maggiore sweat profusely.
"Mother...Mother...Mother..."
Seeing that the gorgeous snake was about to crawl behind the screen, Magpie was no longer afraid. She trembled and screamed heartbreakingly: "Mother, run, there is a snake!"
"Bang!"
When only the head of the snake was exposed, Shuangjiang, who was changing clothes for Jiang Xinyue, used all her strength to push down the huge screen and pull Jiang Xinyue out.
The scream of Magpie just now had angered the snake. The screen of Shuangjiang could not hold it down. It turned its tongue and swam towards the paralyzed Magpie.
"Xi Que!"
"My queen, hurry up, you go out first, I'll go save Xi Que."
Jiang Chuan and Xiao Xuanzi were startled when they heard the loud noise and screams outside. The swallow's nest held by Nanny Li fell to the ground. The crisp sound indicated something bad, so Nanny Xiang ran towards Jiang Xinyue's bedroom.
"Ah!"
Concubine Liang sat up from the bed in shock: "Shuxiang! Shuxiang!"
The scream seemed to be from Shuxiang. Another maid in Concubine Liang's room lit the light and helped her up with some fear: "My queen, it's... it's Sister Shuxiang. She said she wanted to urinate, so she went to the toilet just now."
The screams lit up all the lights in Shun'an Palace. Concubine Liang didn't dare to go at first, but after a few eunuchs and guards came over, she was a little braver.
She grabbed the hand of the palace maid and walked quickly to the guest room.
"Shuxiang!"
Who else could it be if it wasn't Shuxiang?
Immediately, a palace maid went to check if the person on the ground was still breathing: "Your Majesty, she just fainted."
Liang Fei then stepped forward: "Wake her up."
What did she see? She let out such a shocking scream.
The experienced old maid stepped forward and pinched Shuxiang's philtrum. After only two or three pinches, Shuxiang woke up slowly. After seeing Liang Fei's face clearly, she knelt upright in fear: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... There's a dead person! There's a dead person!"
She pointed to a bush behind the palace and said, "I... I just came out after relieving myself and saw someone carrying a dead body and throwing it there. When I was scared and screamed, they knocked me unconscious. Madam... It was too scary. The dead body's eyes were not closed. She was staring at me. I was scared to death."
She still hasn't calmed down. She was shaking all over and crying.
Concubine Liang's eyebrows jumped: "Did you see it clearly? Is it really a dead person?"
Shuxiang nodded desperately: "I saw it clearly, it was really a dead person."
Concubine Liang winked at the guards: "You go and have a look."
If someone really carried a corpse and threw it into her palace, it would be a big deal.
