Time flies by like a white horse, and today is the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night.
In half a month, Su Jingyao will be due.
Nowadays, every palace servant in Kunning Palace is in a state of high tension every day, fearing that they will fail to serve the Queen well and thus displease His Majesty.
Because Su Jingyao was pregnant, this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was just a family dinner, and the Queen Mother was also present in person.
Normally, a banquet like this would last about an hour, but Su Jingyao became restless after only half an hour at the banquet.
I just felt severe back pain.
Jun Zechen sat beside her and looked at her worriedly.
"If the Queen feels unwell, please return to Kunning Palace and rest."
Su Jingyao was not pretentious and spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, Mother, I feel a little unwell, so I will take my leave first."
Jun Zechen nodded slightly, and then instructed Miaoyun.
"Miaoyun, please take good care of the Queen."
After Miaoyun responded, she helped Su Jingyao slowly walk down from the high position.
After walking a few steps, a palace maid with her head lowered and a wine jug in her hand passed by Su Jingyao.
He accidentally spilled the wine on the hem of Su Jingyao's palace dress.
A hint of coldness flashed across Su Jingyao's eyes.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was careless."
The palace maid's voice trembled, and she knelt down instantly, her body trembling slightly, as if she was extremely scared.
"Look up."
Su Jingyao's voice was neither high nor low, and it was calm and even, so that no emotion could be heard in it.
The palace maid raised her head slightly, but her eyes were still looking down, not daring to look up at the person above her.
Su Jingyao gave Miaoyun a wink, and Miaoyun immediately understood and had the palace maid taken away.
Su Jingyao was in charge of the entire dinner, and the palace maids who were able to come up and pour wine for His Majesty, the Queen and the Queen Mother were the most important.
Su Jingyao didn't even recognize the palace maid just now.
Her heart sank instantly. It seemed like something was going to happen tonight...
Could it be that these women in the harem are tired of being lonely again? Are they looking for a sense of existence?
Su Jingyao sat in the phoenix chariot, her brows slightly furrowed, still thinking about the palace maid just now, and the ominous feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger.
It feels heavy, as if a huge rock is pressing on my heart.
Now she is about to give birth, and no unexpected situations must occur.
"Stop the sedan." Su Jingyao suddenly spoke.
As soon as Xilu heard his master's order, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Stop the sedan chair——"
His voice was particularly clear in the silent night.
The phoenix chariot carried by sixteen people stopped steadily and motionlessly.
Miaoyun looked puzzled and asked softly, "Master, what's wrong?"
Su Jingyao looked solemn.
"Miaoyun, take this palace's token and ask the captain of the guards on duty tonight to send a group of guards to escort me back to Kunning Palace."
When Miaoyun heard her master's order, she felt that something unusual was going on tonight, and she did not dare to hesitate at all.
"Yes, Master."
After Miaoyun called the guards, Su Jingyao said with relief, "Let's take the sedan chair back to the palace."
The eunuchs carrying the sedan chair carried the phoenix sedan chair slowly forward, still choosing the road through Taolin, which was the most convenient way back to Kunning Palace.
It was late at night and the dew was heavy. The palace maids in front and behind held the palace lanterns steadily, and the faint light swayed in the darkness.
Su Jingyao closed her eyes and rested, her face calm yet revealing a hint of majesty.
"ah--"
Suddenly, a terrified cry broke the silence.
I saw a eunuch carrying a sedan chair suddenly bitten by something. He lost his strength in an instant and his body tilted.
Immediately afterwards, the eunuchs beside him also started shouting in panic.
"There's a snake!"
The phoenix chariot tilted instantly due to the sudden change.
Su Jingyao was startled by the sudden shake and opened her eyes instantly, with a cold look in her eyes.
Xilu, who was standing by, remained calm and immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "Get off the sedan!"
Miaoyun supported the phoenix chariot and asked anxiously, "Is the master okay?"
Su Jingyao felt her lower abdomen suddenly tighten for a moment, and she quickly covered her stomach.
His brows were tightly furrowed together, and his face turned pale. "It's okay."
Miaoyun suddenly felt that many snakes seemed to be swarming around her.
The guards quickly and orderly surrounded the queen completely.
One of the guards had a serious expression and said in a firm tone, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will never let you make a single mistake."
Then, the guards drew their swords and began to clean up more and more snakes with quick movements.
The eunuchs and palace maids were all frightened and their faces were filled with horror.
Fortunately, there were guards there, otherwise they really didn’t know what to do. In order to protect the queen, they would probably have to use their bodies to block these terrible snakes for the queen.
Xilu said seriously, "Miaoyun, I will report to His Majesty. You guard the master well."
After Miaoyun nodded, Xilu used the lantern in his hand to vigorously wave away the snake that was approaching under his feet, and ran quickly towards the direction of the banquet.
This matter must be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible.
Ling Yue, who had been hiding behind the peach tree, had hatred in his eyes.
She didn't expect Su Jingyao to be so cautious and even arranged for guards to escort her on the way back to the palace.
Ling Yue, dressed as a palace maid, took advantage of the night and quietly mixed in with the panicked palace maids.
