Empress Dowager Zhou felt her right eye twitching when she woke up.

When Su Jin came in to help her dress, her expression wasnt right and her eyes kept dodging away. Empress Dowager Zhou immediately felt something was wrong.

Su Jin, did something happen? Tell this widow, did something happen to the emperor? Empress Dowageer Zhous voice suddenly became louder.

No, no, it isnt the emperor, its.. Su Jin gritted her teeth before finally telling her what she had heard, Its the empress.

Empress? Something happened to her? Empress Dowager Zhous heart fell down halfway, but it was still halfway stuck in her throat.

Su Jin kneeled down and reported in a choked up voice, This servant has just received the news that yesterday night, the empress was bitten by a poisonous snake in the nuptial chambers and hasnt awaken yet. Its possible..she might not keep her life.

When she heard this news, her soul had flown away and her limbs turned numb, only coming back to her senses after a while.

Empress Dowager Zhou didnt know that the empress was Chen Ning, but she knew. She had been worried all night, worried that it couldnt be hidden. Once Empress Dowager Zhou found that the empress was Chen Ning, she would be filled with rage and punishment might fall onto her.

Who would have thought that after a night, before Empress Dowager Zhou learned the truth, she would receive this kind of heart breaking news.

She couldnt help feeling bad for Chen Ning. Such a good girl, it wasnt easy for her to finally marry the emperor, but before they even went to their nuptial chambers, it was unknown if she would live or die. She really felt bad for her.

What! Empress Dowager Zhou seemed like she was hit by a stick, becoming shocked. She didnt even pay attention to the buddhism beads that fell out of her hands.

Tell me again, what happened to the empress? She grabbed Su Jins wrist as her voice trembled.

The empress has been bitten by a snake. Doctor Zhang has already looked over the empress and said that this poison is very strong. Hes afraid..that she cant be saved. Su Jin finished and she couldnt hold it in anymore as tears came out while she gently sobbed.

Cant be saved? What about the emperor? Is the emperor fine? Was he bitten by the poisonous snake?

The emperor is fine, only the empress was bitten.

Oh.

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhou slowly let go of her wrist. She stood up and her two slender brows tightly knit together.

She only felt shock, she wasnt hurt. After all, she only had good feelings for her sons new bride and didnt have any deep feelings for her.

Why was there a poisonous snake in the nuptial chambers? Could it be all the eunuchs and maids in the emperors palace are useless? They cant even keep snake and mice out of the emperors palace? They really deserve death! Send out this widows orders, all the servants of the Guan Yu Palace deserves death, not a single one will be left out!

Empress Dowager Zhou angrily gave her order.

Su Jin was frightened. She looked up at Empress Dowager Zhou and her lips quivered, but she didnt speak.

If you have something to say, say it all at once, stop hesitating. What hasnt this widow heard before and what hasnt this widow withstood! Empress Dowager Zhou impatiently reprimanded.

Reporting to the Empress Dowager, that poisonous snake..It didnt crawl into the Guan Yu Palace, but ratherratherrather it was sent in by the Eldest Princess! Su Jin saw Empress Dowager Zhous expression and spoke in a soft voice.

What! The Eldest Princess sent it in?

Empress Dowager Zhou almost didnt believe her ears.
