Chapter 253: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Part 2)
Cui Li did not avoid Concubine Xu. Instead, he took a few steps forward, stretched out his arms to protect Concubine Xu's stomach, and followed the force of Concubine Xu's fall, using her flesh as a cushion, and fell heavily next to the rockery.
Concubine Xu's attack was so fast and powerful that Cui Li's head hit the stone and blood immediately gushed out.
Concubine Xu lay on Cui Li, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she saw a large amount of blood on the imperial concubine's head.
Concubine Xu's eyes were filled with panic. With such a bloody hole on Cui Li's head, and the injury to her head, would the Concubine die? Was Concubine Cui stupid? Instead of avoiding her collision, she rushed forward to save her. Now all her calculations were in vain!
She knew the position of Concubine Cui in the emperor's heart. Now she had lost more than she gained! If she had known this, she would not have attacked Cui Li!
Her face changed and she felt her abdomen falling. Her light-colored palace skirt was stained red with blood. Her eyes rolled around, she screamed a few times, and fainted.
At this time, the palace maids three meters away rushed over.
"Ah! Imperial Concubine! Quickly help Concubine Xu up, she's still on top of you!"
"There's so much blood! There's so much blood under Concubine Xu! Who wants to murder the heir to the throne? Poor Concubine Xu! Xi'e feels so sorry for you! Please, His Majesty, help me!"
"Quickly call the imperial physician! Report to the Empress and His Majesty!"
Cuiyun, Cui Li's maid, stepped forward immediately and had Concubine Xu carried onto the Zhaiyu. She then carefully sent her master into the ceremonial carriage. Before leaving, she glanced meaningfully at the palace maids who were howling like ghosts around Concubine Xu.
Cuiyun understood that the incident in the Imperial Garden was definitely related to Concubine Xu herself! If Concubine Xu was harmed, she would risk her life to get rid of Concubine Xu!
Cuiyun quickly got on the carriage. Feeling the strength in her hand, she quickly held her master's hand and did not let other palace maids get on.
Cuiyun said anxiously: "My Queen, My Queen..."
The ceremonial carriage was covered with heavy gauze curtains, blocking out the outside gaze.
Cuiyun quickly instructed a palace maid beside her, watched her nod and leave.
Cuiyun then immediately stopped Cui Li's bleeding. She knew a little medical skills, but looking at her unconscious master, Cuiyun felt both distressed and anxious.
"Hurry up and drive to the nearest Xiefang Palace. Go and urge the imperial physician to go to Xiefang Palace immediately."
While the two concubines were in danger in the imperial garden, the chief eunuch Le Chang heard the report from the young eunuch, hurried into the imperial study, and whispered a few words in the ear of Emperor Liang.
Emperor Liang Sheng of Daliang immediately stood up and walked out with brisk steps.
Liang Sheng: "I have urgent business to attend to. Please leave, my dear ministers. We will discuss the taxation issue another day."
The ministers in the Imperial Study looked at each other, wondering what had happened. They guessed it must be something about the harem. The most favored princess in the harem was Ji Zhaoyi, the third princess of the Ji Kingdom. But Ji Zhaoyi was not so bad as to let Le Chang barge in without paying attention to what they were discussing.
Is there something wrong with Concubine Xu's pregnancy? That's unlikely. She's already five months pregnant, so she should be able to sit still!
Did something happen to the Queen or the Imperial Concubine?
Several officials did not dare to comment and slowly left the imperial study.
An elegant young man stood outside the imperial study, glanced in the direction of the harem, pursed his lips, and clenched his hands under his loose official uniform.
"Prime Minister, please follow me. I will escort you out of the palace."
The young man nodded gently, looking calm and composed.
After leaving the imperial study and sending away the eunuchs who had accompanied him, he stood in the shadows and waved behind him, and a palace maid with an ordinary face came out.
Xuan Yunian: "Go check and see if she's in trouble. You'll have to act accordingly."
The palace maid nodded and disappeared in an instant.
