Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 882: Chapter 882: Hurry Back!

"Ah ah ah—"

How could Consort Zhen have imagined that this fierce dog would rush at her?

Just now, it was clearly going to the left, so why did it suddenly turn and come to the right?

She didn’t know what to do, so she instinctively screamed loudly and then turned and ran.

However, there was another palace concubine behind her, who, in her panic, also ran, and the two collided in their haste, both falling to the ground.

"Woof woof!"

The white dog barked loudly and pounced fiercely at Consort Zhen.

"Ah—"

Instantly, blood splattered everywhere!

"Ah, help, bring the Imperial Physician, quickly call the Imperial Physician, Consort Zhen has been bitten by a dog!"

The palace concubines and maids screamed, but no one stepped forward to help fend off the dog that was frantically biting her, except for the personal maid nearby.

"Why are you standing there? Quickly help!"

The palace maid rushed forward to protect her mistress and drive the dog away, but the dog seemed fixated on Consort Zhen, refusing to let go no matter how it was driven.

It bit frenetically, and Consort Zhen’s screams were relentless.

Finally, a eunuch on Consort Zhen’s side stabbed the dog in the back with a dagger, killing it and saving Consort Zhen.

But even so, Consort Zhen was severely bitten, her body a bloody mess, a horrible sight, and crucially, she was crying painfully, in deadly pain.

Empress Dowager Li, seeing this, smiled contentedly. She certainly wouldn’t really let Consort Zhen die, so she had to act diligently.

"Someone, quickly fetch the Imperial Physician, what are you standing around for? Go quickly!"

Shortly after, the Imperial Physicians came, a total of three Imperial Physicians and one female medical officer, to treat Consort Zhen.

Consort Zhen was quite severely bitten, but fortunately her life was not in danger, only she had to be careful of infections next.

"Do you think she’ll get rabies?"

A palace concubine whispered below.

"Ah, don’t scare me! I’m very timid!"

"I’m not scaring you, really, didn’t you see how mad the dog was just now?"

"This... this couldn’t really happen, right? Then... let’s better not go near Consort Zhen!"

"Absolutely, don’t go near, stay tens of feet away from her palace!"

After some instructions, the palace concubines dispersed.

"I... will I die? Imperial Physician, will I die?"

In the harem, Consort Zhen endured the immense pain and asked the Imperial Physician.

She was very frightened, very panicked, and she actually heard the other palace concubines talking, so she was also worried. If she really caught rabies, she would certainly die!

Moreover, she wouldn’t even have to wait for the disease to manifest before someone would kill her.

Rabies, there’s no cure!

The Imperial Physician, hearing this, said, "Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, everything will be fine. Please rest assured!"

"No, no, I can’t rest assured. You... go, go call my son back, quickly go, if I were to die, I won’t be able to see my son, go!"

"Your Majesy, the Prince is attending to matters, perhaps..."

"I don’t care, I don’t care, quickly go call my son back, go!"

Consort Zhen was in pain and afraid, even trembling, fearing she wouldn’t see her son one last time, so she had to urgently have him called back.

"Quick, go!"

"Yes, this servant will go immediately!"

At once, someone left the palace to find Qi Junyi.

...

Handling cases of corrupt officials always consumes a lot of time and effort.

Li Qingmu and Qi Junyi worked together, still taking half a month to reorganize the official system here, as for these criminal officials, they’d be escorted back to the Capital City for processing.

These days have been leisurely for Ling Yue, either chatting with Ru’er or taking a stroll, or even studying the "Soul Technique".

In short, life was quite fulfilling.

That day, Long Yue was making clothes for her daughter when suddenly a shadow appeared outside the door, and Long Yue quickly looked up, "Who?"

"Princess Consort, it’s me!"

Xuan Xu?

"What is it?"

"Princess Consort, something happened in Shengjing City."

"Ah, what happened?"

Long Yue’s heart skipped a beat; could it be something happened to her daughter and Rui’er?

Thinking of this, Long Yue lost interest in making clothes, quickly getting up to open the door.

"Princess Consort, it’s Consort Zhen!" Xuan Xu’s information was very well-informed; even before the news was passed over, he already knew.

Long Yue felt slightly relieved that it wasn’t Rui’er and Yaoyao, but immediately became alert, "Consort Zhen? What happened to her?"

Consort Zhen is Qi Junyi’s mother, and Qi Junyi was busy with her husband, so she must care about his mother’s issue.

"She was bitten by a rabid dog, and although the wound has been treated, there’s no guarantee against rabies. Now Consort Zhen has sent people to call the Third Prince."

Hearing this, Long Yue stood up at once, "Let’s go, find him!"

No matter how busy things are, since it involves his mother, out of duty and affection, it should be immediately informed to him and let him return.

So, when Long Yue appeared in the government office, both Li Qingmu and Qi Junyi were puzzled.

"What happened?"

The man had a keen instinct, immediately sensing something was wrong.

"Third Brother, you need to return to Shengjing City, your mother is injured!"

"Injured? How did my mother get injured?"

Qi Junyi was puzzled. How could his mother, who was perfectly fine in the harem, be injured for no reason?

"They said it was a dog bite and it’s quite severe; you should quickly go see her!"

"Bitten... by a dog?"

Hearing this, Qi Junyi’s face turned pale instantly.

They were not ignorant; being bitten by a dog often leads to rabies.

He turned to leave, instinctively remembering Li Qingmu, glancing at him.

"Hurry back!"

Li Qingmu wasted no words, urging him to hurry home.

"Wait, here’s some top-notch secret golden sore medicine, take it, and also, here’s an internal Detoxification Pill, take it too!"

Long Yue handed two small porcelain bottles to Qi Junyi.

The bottles were sealed with labels of different colors, one was ointment, and the other was pills, so they wouldn’t mix them up.

Qi Junyi gave Long Yue a grateful look, took the medicine, and without even packing his belongings, rode off on a fast horse.

Watching Qi Junyi rush back, Long Yue and Li Qingmu exchanged glances, gently shaking their heads.

"Never thought Empress Dowager Li’s revenge would be so fierce."

Others might not know, but how could they not?

Controlling animals to attack people had happened before!

Previously, at the hunting grounds, a pack of wolves attacked the Emperor and officials, merely to give their planted people a chance to shine!

Shi Qin, with the flute in her hand, had this ability, and this matter was surely orchestrated by Empress Dowager Li!

"Now I’m worried, what will Father think and do?"

This was crucial!

Qi Yun on that end surely received the news from the Imperial Palace, so what would his reaction be?
