Yun Shu looked at the note sent by Zhan Xiao Li.
The handwriting on it was very clear.
Whose pigeon was this?
"Mommy, the eagles were almost about to find the bad woman, but halfway they caught a pigeon. This pigeon must belong to the bad woman!" Yun Xiao Jing said.
Yun Shu nodded. Useless person, dead?
Were they the two assassins who were crippled by Qian Le Er?
Yun Shu's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, one sound after another.
Then she put the note away. "You did very well." She looked up and praised the three children.
The three little ones smiled together.
Mommy praised them!
At the same time.
Jiang Luo Xi had rested enough in her room. The concubine's clothes she was wearing were indeed a bit heavy.
This choice had put her in a slightly passive position. She couldn't enter and leave the imperial palace as she pleased. Zhan Tian Hong was wary of her and had secretly sent people to monitor her movements.
She walked towards the door, contemplating whether to talk to the Emperor again.
Otherwise, it would delay what she needed to do.
Because she was too focused on her thoughts, Jiang Luo Xi's expression appeared very cold.
The palace maids serving her lowered their heads upon seeing this.
When they had seen Miss Jiang in the palace before, they hadn't realized she had such a frightening side.
Silently, she inspired a sense of fear.
Suddenly.
A small snake slithered silently.
Its speed was so fast that it was difficult to detect.
The palace maids beside her hadn't noticed.
By the time Jiang Luo Xi, who was lost in thought, noticed, the small snake had already lunged towards her calf.
Jiang Luo Xi sensed danger, "Snake!"
She cried out in alarm!
Almost instinctively, her body moved as if she were soaring through clouds and riding the mist, retreating with ease.
This scene startled the palace maids.
Consort Luo actually knew Qing Gong (lightness skill)?
Jiang Luo Xi dodged extremely quickly, but the snake's speed was also extremely fast!
It bit down!
Then it skillfully disappeared.
By the time Jiang Luo Xi reacted, she realized she had been bitten by the snake!
She had seen countless snakes, but she had rarely seen a snake like the one just now!
What kind of snake was this?
Such rapid speed!
Was it poisonous or not?
Jiang Luo Xi narrowed her eyes and commanded in a low voice, "Go and summon the imperial physicians! Someone, go and invite the divine physician Zuo Yan into the palace from outside the palace!"
She had already begun to feel numbness and pain in her left leg where she had been bitten!
This was not the first time she had been bitten by a snake, but it was the first time she had a vague sense of unease!
How could there be a poisonous snake in the palace?
Who let the poisonous snake in?
Was it intentionally placed there to bite her?
But there were so many people here, and the palace maids were all around her, why did the little snake only bite her and not others?
For a moment, Jiang Luo Xi's mind was filled with a myriad of doubts.
Could it be the work of the Night King and Yun Shu?
No, that was unlikely. Snakes were not controllable by humans, and they wouldn't risk bringing a poisonous snake into the palace.
Along the way, the poisonous snake could have bitten many people.
Coincidence?
Sweat beaded on Jiang Luo Xi's forehead. She frowned tightly, not daring to move.
This snake looked small, but its venom was potent. She could feel that if she moved carelessly, it would accelerate the spread of the poison.
...
A moment later.
A small snake slithered back to the General's mansion.
It crawled into a room.
Seeing Yun Xiao Jing lying on the bed taking a nap, the little snake obediently climbed up and coiled into a small ball beside Yun Xiao Jing.
It quietly waited for Yun Xiao Jing to wake up.
Yun Xiao Jing turned over and pressed directly onto the little snake. The little snake remained still, very docile.
However, Yun Xiao Jing sensed something was wrong. He felt something cool being pressed by him. He rubbed his eyes and opened them to see that he had pressed on the little snake. He immediately perked up, "Little snake, little snake, did it succeed?"
The little snake, having just returned, intended to take credit, but after seeing Yun Xiao Jing asleep, it had been very obedient.
Now that Yun Xiao Jing asked, it immediately raised its head.
Yun Xiao Jing's eyes lit up. "Little snake, little snake, I think you're getting cuter and cuter! I've decided that you can grow up with me from now on, and I'm giving you a glorious mission, with great rewards if you do well! From now on, you'll help me protect my family! As long as you can scare away bad guys and help my family, I'll give you a reward!"
His reward was a drop of his blood.
Small animals loved his blood.
Without considering whether the little snake was willing or not, he grabbed the little snake and went to find Zhan Xiao Li and Zhan Xiao Feng.
Those two were not napping. One was diligently practicing calligraphy, and the other was diligently concocting poison powder. He only slept when he felt sleepy, otherwise, all this hard work seemed useless. He definitely couldn't compare to his two older brothers in these matters!
Their efforts were enough!
With a self-righteous excuse for laziness, Yun Xiao Jing, carrying the news of the little snake's successful mission, went to find the other two little ones.
And at this moment, Jiang Luo Xi's consciousness was already slightly out of her control.
Her face was extremely pale.
After the imperial physicians took her pulse, their expressions all changed. "Potent poison! This is potent poison! What kind of snake? How can it have such potent poison!"
"It seems like... it seems like a Snow Spirit Snake!"
"But how could a Snow Spirit Snake appear in the imperial palace?"
The imperial physicians discussed amongst themselves.
Jiang Luo Xi cursed these imperial physicians as idiots as she listened to them.
They couldn't even identify a snake venom!
Snow Spirit Snake?
How could it be a Snow Spirit Snake?
She knew about the Snow Spirit Snake. The Snow Spirit Snake lived in the deep mountains, and even she had never seen one. How could a Snow Spirit Snake appear in the imperial palace!
But...
Someone had drawn a picture of a Snow Spirit Snake, and it did resemble the snake that bit her. However, the snake had moved too fast at the time, and she hadn't seen it clearly.
Zhan Tian Hong, having heard the news, rushed over.
He had initially thought Jiang Luo Xi was making a mountain out of a molehill.
But the appearance of a snake in the imperial palace was definitely not a minor matter. Someone must have intended to harm someone with a poisonous snake.
"How is it?" Zhan Tian Hong asked the imperial physicians.
The imperial physicians looked at each other. "Your Majesty, after our discussion, we all believe it is the venom of the Snow Spirit Snake. The venom of the Snow Spirit Snake is difficult to cure. We can only try our best."
"Cure the snake venom as quickly as possible!" Zhan Tian Hong commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
One by one, they began to write prescriptions and then took out the snake venom antidote pills treasured in the imperial physicians' clinic.
Jiang Luo Xi pursed her lips tightly.
She had always been resolute and was now very calm. She asked a palace maid, "When will the divine physician Zuo Yan arrive?"
"This humble one has already arrived." Zuo Yan appeared at the door and walked in, carrying his medicine box.
The moment Jiang Luo Xi saw Zuo Yan, the anxiety in her heart finally subsided.
He had finally arrived.
However.
On his way here, Zuo Yan had thought it was just ordinary snake venom and hadn't paid much attention. But when he saw Jiang Luo Xi's pale face and felt her pulse, his expression changed dramatically. "Snow Spirit Snake? You were bitten by a Snow Spirit Snake! How could there be a Snow Spirit Snake in the palace?"
"Is it really a Snow Spirit Snake?" Jiang Luo Xi gritted her teeth.
Zhan Tian Hong frowned.
