Chapter 52.1 - Emergency Rescue (1/2)
Suffocation? Why would she suffocate when she was just fine?
Empress Wang didn’t have the leisure of making guesses about this. She also immediately panicked. “Someone come. Hurry and go bring imperial physicians!”
Such a properly celebratory night. She didn’t expect that an accident would occur at the end. If something bad were to truly happen to the suffocating Imperial Consort Song, she also wouldn’t be free from responsibility. How could Empress Wang still care about the poem in her hand. She directly threw it to the side and promptly stepped forward to examine the imperial consort.
After exerting effort for a short amount of time, Imperial Consort Song’s face already turned completely red. Her wide open eyes stared fixedly as she grabbed the sleeve of Empress Wang’s robe. She seemingly wanted to cry for help, but was unable to form a single sentence. From her mouth, only ‘hu hu’ sounds came out. Her painful efforts only made others confused.
The scene immediately turned totally chaotic. Everyone stared at Empress Wang and Imperial Consort Song at the center. They stared blankly, helpless, and pale with fright.
If something bad happened at the end of tonight’s Mid-Autumn Feast, if Imperial Consort Song were to choke to death on account of writing down a poem, she’s afraid this might become the greatest joke on Western Chu. Even though this matter had nothing to do with them, they still witnessed everything personally after all. Very likely, His Majesty will be furious and they would also be implicated.
The most regretful one was Yuchi Lianqing. She was as dumbstruck as a wooden chicken as she froze there, her brain like mush. Ordinarily, she had always been resourceful and quick-witted, and more intelligent than anyone. However, she currently didn’t know what to do at all, as she stared stupidly. She even forgot to stand up and see how Imperial Consort Song was doing.
As if a club struck her head, she fell from the clouds down into the abyss. Wasn’t it just fine earlier? Empress Wang even said that she wanted to choose her to become the crown prince’s consort. Imperial Consort Song even wanted to personally write the poem down for her to send to His Majesty. She was thoroughly delighted. In her fantasy, it wouldn’t be long before her dream will come true, and she became the future empress. Yet now…..
On account of writing her poem down, Imperial Consort Song’s momentary happiness caused her to choke.
No matter what, she couldn’t be free from responsibility in this matter!
If Imperial Consort Song were to truly come to a bad end, not to mention how the two princes might look at her with animosity, even if His Majesty didn’t demand that she took responsibility, she’s afraid that it’d be impossible for her to become the crown prince consort. She’d loved the crown prince dearly for three years. She’d always longed to become the crown prince consort, yet now, her joy had turned into sorrow. She’s afraid it would already be extremely lucky if His Majesty could pardon her.
Body covered in cold sweat from fear, Yuchi Lianqing collapsed from head to toe. With a deathly pale complexion, she watched the chaotic mess.
“Where’s the imperial physician. Why are they still not here?” Empress Wang asked anxiously, noticing that the hand Imperial Consort Song used to grab onto her sleeve was weakening, while her eyes were becoming spiritless and her body trembled all over, even as choking sounds continually came from her throat. The empress was afraid that the other already could no longer persevere for much longer.
Something bad is going to happen……
Something really bad!
