Chapter 759 The Confrontation (1/2)
” Lady Xiang!” Exclamations rang out in the Weiyang Palace. In the inner hall, the Empress heard the noise outside before she sat down. She frowned and asked, ”What happened?”
A servant rushed in and reported anxiously, ”Your Majesty, Lady Xiang fainted outside the palace.”
The Empress was surprised and suddenly turned around asking, ”Yes?”
Although she didn't like Lady Xiang, it didn't mean that she wished something bad to happen to her in her palace. Moreover, Lady Xiang was pregnant now. If anything happened to her, she would not be able to explain it. What's more, she herself was in a very bad situation now.
The Empress turned around and walked out of the palace. She found Lady Xiang looked pale, with beads of sweat on her forehead. Her brows knitted tightly as if she was in great pain.
”Why are you still standing there? Call the imperial physicians now! ” the Empress 's voice was sharp and slightly changed.
Hearing this, the stunned servants hurried out of the hall. The Empress calmed down a little, and said to Qian Xin, who was holding Lady Xiang in her arms, ”Take her into the inner hall.”
Qian Xin was also panic. She nodded and carried Ning Qian into the inner hall. The madam beside the Empress had already made a quilt on the couch. Qian Xin quickly lay Ning Qian on the quilt.
Looking at Ning Qian's bloodless face, the Empress snorted coldly, ”You are pregnant, but you don't know how to take care of yourself. Why do you still run around in such a situation?” Actually, her mind was in a mess.
The imperial physician were still on the way. All the people in the palace had been waiting for a long time. The Empress couldn't wait any longer. She stood up and said, ”The imperial hospital is only a quarter of an hour's walk away from the Weiyang Palace. Almost an hour has passed. Why hasn't the imperial physician come yet? Madam, go and check it yourself to see what's going on? ”
The madam obeyed and left the inner hall.
After a while, the madam came back, but there was no imperial physician following her. ”Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that his majesty had ordered him to report the matter of Lady Xiang as soon as possible and he had gone to the Taiji Palace.”
”Isn't his Majesty in the morning court now? The imperial physician cannot even see his majesty at this time! Why are those old bastards in the Imperial Hospital so ignorant of priority? ” The Empress looked very angry. Just then, she heard a eunuch singing voice from outside. ”His Majesty is here!”
The Empress's face twisted, with a flash of disbelief in her eyes. She turned her head and looked at the door, her hand holding the brocade handkerchief trembling slightly. Then she turned around and looked at Lady Xiang's beautiful face, and fell silent. 'Does his majesty care about this woman so much?'
the Empress thought to herself. Her throat tightened. After a long time, she swallowed saliva. Footsteps came from the outer hall. The Empress bit her lips and turned around again.
