The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 268 - Chaotic

Chapter 268 - Chaotic

Xie Qiao sat aside and felt cold all over.

There were too many ghouls. It was noisy and scary.

She drank a cup of tea and tried her best to warm her body. Beside her, Xia Yayun felt uncomfortable all over.

She was too angry inside. It made her feel like her chest was stuffy and she could not breathe. Especially when she heard Xie Qiao's movements next to her, she felt that it was just her luck.

With this irritation, Xia Yayun could not help but feel itchy all over her body. She touched her face and actually felt a few bulging pimples!

Xia Yayun's expression immediately changed.

She had not eaten spicy food recently, right?

It was all Xie Qiao's fault for making her angry. It was only because she had a knot in her heart that she had these things!

Xia Yayun became even more irritated. Her face was itchy, but she did not dare to scratch anymore. Her body also felt a little cold, and she could not get up.

Her mind was running wild.

As she was thinking, she suddenly felt a pain under her feet.

She looked down and saw a pair of bean-like eyes stretching out its neck to stare at her!

"Ah!" Xia Yayun was so scared that she jumped. She was about to scream until her voice was broken. The snake had already bitten her, but seeing that she had too big of a reaction, the snake suddenly charged and left two more teeth marks on her face!

The sudden change of events shocked everyone.

The maids and eunuchs were protecting the n.o.bles, and the young ladies were so scared that they huddled together.

When they focused their attention, they saw that it was a gra.s.s snake, which scared the young ladies so much that their faces turned pale.

After Xia Yayun was bitten, she immediately fainted.

Some called for guards, and some called for the imperial doctors. It was a mess.

Although the Crown Prince's palace did not have many people, there were people who cleaned it every day. It was already October, and the weather was very cold. The snakes should have gone into hibernation a long time ago, but now one actually appeared at this banquet…

All the young ladies present could not help but think of the rumors about the Crown Prince.

Although the Emperor had intentionally suppressed those rumors, there were still quite a number of rumors that spread.

It was said that the East Palace was...chaotic.

In fact, some years ago, it seemed that many people complained about the Crown Prince that he was not worthy of his position, which was why the East Palace was always in trouble!

The last time the Crown Prince chose a consort, the Second Prince was imprisoned…

This time, someone was injured again, and even attacked by a snake in the winter. Could it be that the Crown Prince had a…lethal destiny?!

Everyone's thoughts ran wild.

Among the people present, some of them were arrogant and looked down on the crippled Crown Prince, but there were also some families who wanted to take advantage of the Crown Prince being favored.

If the Emperor really allowed them to marry, even if they were not satisfied, they would gladly accept it.

After all, the Crown Prince had not been gotten rid of yet.

With the Emperor's stance, it was likely that he wanted to remove all obstacles for the Crown Prince and insisted on helping him ascend to the throne. Even if the Crown Prince could not ascend to the throne, he could still be an idle prince. To them, it was already a high position.

However, now…

They were afraid.

Very soon, the imperial doctor came over.

"Your Majesty, this snake is not poisonous. It only needs to apply some ointment and it will be fine in a few days. However, the bite mark left by this snake is a little deep. There might be a little scar in the future," the imperial doctor said.

The scars were nothing much.

The snake's teeth were not big, so the bite mark left was naturally small. The imperial doctor had a good scar-dispelling ointment. If they applied it a little more, the scar should be completely gone.

However, they would not speak too harshly so that they would not be slapped in the face in the future.

The Empress' expression was slightly better now.

If someone were to be poisoned to death by the poisonous snake today, there would probably be many people in the main palace tomorrow who would want to say that her imperial son was terrible.

However, the more she looked at Xia Yayun, the more the Empress disliked her.

"Send Young Lady Xia back to her residence to heal properly. This time, she has suffered such a great shock in the palace. In case she's injured in the future, I will allow her to never enter the palace again," The Empress said with a cold expression.
