Chapter 57: Blood shed

In the Imperial Garden, Chu Zijing sat on a chair with a big belly to rest.

"Madam, let's go back quickly. The madam's due date is just a few days away and there is snow piled up on the road from last night. I always feel uneasy."

Caixian said worriedly while tucking Chu Zijing's cloak.

Chu Zijing gently stroked her round belly with her hand.

"It's okay. Your Majesty has gone to Chuxiu Palace now and won't be back so soon. Besides, I'm sitting here and no one dares to harm me."

Caixian had a hesitant expression, but still chose to listen to her master's words. She just reminded herself in her heart to pay attention to the surroundings.

Chu Zijing quietly admired the red plum blossoms that had turned white after the snow last night.

"It's beautiful."

Caixian looked at the scenery and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, it's December now. When the queen gives birth to the little prince safely, I will hold the little prince while the queen sits here and enjoys the scenery. What do you think?"

Chu Zijing smiled a little when she heard Caixian's words.

Suddenly, Chu Zijing vaguely felt that someone had been making a lot of noise here.

"Who is making a lot of noise here? Don't you know that the queen is here?"

Caixian also heard the very quiet noise. She only took a glance at Chu Zijing and knew what she was thinking.

Xiao Xingzi standing next to her was the little eunuch that Chu Zijing hurriedly went to ask the imperial physician for help when she was pregnant. After the last incident, Chu Zijing investigated him and found that he was an orphan and loyal to her, so he has now been promoted by Chu Zijing to become the chief eunuch beside her.

Xiao Xingzi hurried to check the situation and came back soon.

"Reporting to the queen, I saw a group of guards searching for something. I also asked them, and the guards said that an abandoned concubine from the cold palace sneaked out. Now they are looking for that abandoned concubine. I also told them to keep their voices down and not disturb the queen."

Chu Zijing didn't take it seriously, but just told Xiao Xingzi.

"Xiao Xingzi, go to the imperial kitchen to see what snacks are available today, and pick a few delicious ones for me to bring back."

Xiao Xingzi hesitated after receiving the instructions.

"But the queen is here, the servant..."

Chu Zijing knew that he was worried about her being here without a capable servant around her.

"Don't worry, Caixian is here."

Xiao Xingzi thought for a while and finally nodded and left.

What Chu Zijing and Caixian didn't know was that someone was hiding under the plum tree not far away and spying on them.

"Caixian, this stove is not warm anymore. Go add some new charcoal."

Caixian took the hand warmer handed by Chu Zijing and spoke hesitantly.

"My queen, please stay here. I will be back soon."

After saying this, Caixian instructed the little palace maid and eunuch standing behind her and then left.

'Rustle'

Chu Zijing felt that there seemed to be something under the plum tree in front.

"Go and see what it is?"

After receiving the order, the eunuch went over to check the situation. Then he happily reported to Chu Zijing.

"My queen, it's a little white rabbit."

Chu Zijing was getting older and hadn't seen these little animals for a long time. She happily ordered the little palace maid behind her.

"Go and bring it to me."

Seeing that the little palace maid also went to the front to hold the little white rabbit, Chu Zijing couldn't sit still and stood up carefully holding her belly and was about to walk over.

Who would have thought that a figure suddenly rushed out from behind and stabbed Chu Zijing with a dagger.

"Chu Zijing! Go to hell!"

When Chu Zijing heard the noise, she turned her head and saw that the commoner Li Shuyun, who was supposed to be in the cold palace, suddenly appeared here.

In order to avoid Li Shuyun's dagger, she was unfortunately knocked to the ground by her.

"I will kill you!"

Just as Chu Zijing fell, Li Shuyun's dagger stabbed her again.

Chu Zijing hurriedly grabbed her hand waving the dagger with her hands and called for help.

"Hurry up and help!"

The eunuchs and maids who were holding the little white rabbit were all scared, and they didn't react until they heard Chu Zijing's shouting and hurried to protect the emperor.

Some young eunuchs hugged Li Shuyun who was stabbing, and other young maids tried to pull Chu Zijing out but couldn't do it.

At this time, Caixian heard the noise and hurried back. When she arrived at the Imperial Garden, she saw a large group of people on the ground.

Caixian rushed over without thinking and picked up the hand warmer to hit Li Shuyun's head.

Li Shuyun felt the pain and turned around to wave the dagger at Caixian.

Caixian's arm was unfortunately scratched by the dagger, but she did not dare to stop and used her body to hold down Li Shuyun who was struggling desperately.

Fortunately, Xiao Xingzi, who had just returned from the imperial kitchen, came back at this time.

He hurriedly threw away the bamboo basket in his hand, picked up the shovel beside him and knocked Li Shuyun to the ground.

Xiao Xingzi's shovel was very powerful. Li Shuyun had already fainted on the ground because of being hit on the head by Caixian several times.

"Are you okay, Madam?"

Caixian and Xiao Xingzi asked Chu Zijing about her condition in unison. Chu Zijing was about to answer when she felt warm liquid pouring out from under her body.

Caixian looked at the snow-white ground stained with red liquid, and she shouted in panic.

"Blood, Madam, you have seen blood, go and ask the imperial physician! Send Madam back to the palace!"

Chu Zijing only realized the blood left on her body when she heard Caixian's words. She panicked and wanted to get up.

"Child... My child..."

She fainted before she finished speaking.
